The Destined for Glory Challenge 2 SBC is one of the lowest-friction challenges currently active in EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Team. It costs around 2,200 coins to complete from scratch, takes under five minutes to fill, and hands back a Mini Gold Pack the moment you submit. If your club has any bronze or silver fodder collecting dust, this is exactly where it goes.
What are the requirements for Destined for Glory Challenge 2?
The squad requirements are deliberately relaxed, which is the whole point. You need a squad that meets all of the following conditions:
- Same league: Minimum 3 players
- Same club: Maximum 4 players
- Clubs in squad: Maximum 5
- Quality: Minimum Bronze
- Total chemistry: Minimum 16
That chemistry threshold of 16 is low enough that you can build around almost any combination of bronze and silver players, provided a handful share a league. The club cap of 5 means you have plenty of flexibility to mix players from different teams without chemistry collapsing entirely.
How much does Destined for Glory Challenge 2 cost?
Buying every player from the transfer market puts the total cost at roughly 2,200 coins on both console and PC. That number drops significantly if you already hold usable fodder from pack openings or previous SBCs.
The Mini Gold Pack reward carries an estimated market value of around 2,454 coins, which technically puts it slightly above the raw coin cost of building from scratch. The gap is narrow, though, and the real calculation is simpler: if you have bronze or silver players sitting in your club with no other purpose, the challenge costs you nothing except a few seconds of squad building.
Is the Destined for Glory Challenge 2 SBC worth completing?
For most players, yes. Here is a quick breakdown of the value proposition:
The SBC is non-repeatable, so you get one shot at the reward. That limits the ceiling, but it also means you are not being asked to grind. Complete it once, collect the pack, and move on.
The Mini Gold Pack is modest by any measure. You are not going to pull a meta-rated promo player from it most of the time. The value is in the process: clearing dead-weight fodder from your club, earning a pack that gives you a small chance at a rare gold walkout, and ticking off a challenge that may contribute toward broader daily or weekly objectives.
How to build the cheapest squad for this challenge
The most efficient approach is to check your club first. Sort by rating and look at your lowest-rated cards. You need 11 players total, at least 3 sharing a league, no more than 4 from the same club, and no more than 5 different clubs represented.
A practical build path:
- Pick a lower league you have 3 or more players from (League Two, Eredivisie B teams, and similar lower divisions work well)
- Fill remaining spots with any bronze cards that happen to share a nation or league with at least one of your anchors
- Check the chemistry counter before submitting; 16 is a low bar but confirm it before locking in
If you need to buy players, target the cheapest bronze cards available in whatever league you are anchoring around. Bronze players from less popular leagues tend to sit at minimum price.

FC 27 also introduced a separate Streamlined SBC format that replaces chemistry with a points score system. If you want to understand how that works and how to build squads for it efficiently, the FC 27 Streamlined SBCs explained guide breaks down Item Score values, duplicate rules, and the best fodder strategy.
