How to Complete the Trailblazers Jonathan David SBC in EA FC 25

EA FC 25's Trailblazers event has brought a unique series of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) featuring standout players. The latest addition is Lille's star striker, Jonathan David, whose early-season performance has earned him a coveted Trailblazers card. Here's a detailed guide on how FC 25 Players can complete the Jonathan David SBC effectively.

Why Complete the Trailblazers Jonathan David SBC

The Trailblazers Jonathan David card is a highly desirable addition for FC 25 players, particularly if you're looking to enhance your squad's offensive power. David comes with impressive attributes and a First Touch PlayStyle+, which makes him a speedy and agile forward in crucial game moments. Completing this SBC from scratch requires around 80,000 FIFA 25 Coins, but players with Team of the Week (TOTW) cards can potentially lower the cost significantly.

While some players might question the investment, Jonathan David's in-game stats, and PlayStyle+ provide a great balance of speed and finishing capabilities, making him a strong option for those looking to elevate their Ligue 1 or hybrid squads.

Steps to Complete the Trailblazers Jonathan David SBC

The SBC to acquire Jonathan David is divided into four sections: Ligue 1, Top Form, 83-Rated Squad, and 84-Rated Squad. Here's a breakdown of each section, with suggested players to minimize costs while meeting requirements.

1. Ligue 1 Segment

This section doesn't have any chemistry requirements, so feel free to choose from various leagues and nationalities as long as you meet the rating criteria.

    78 OVR: Tommy Abraham (AC Milan), Abderrazak Hamdallah (Al-Shabab), Guillaume Restes (Toulouse), Stefan Posch (Bologna)

    82 OVR: Niclas Fulkrug (West Ham)

    85 OVR: Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United)

    78 OVR: Lina Hurtig (Arsenal), Andrija Zivkovic (PAOK FC), Lisa Kolb (Freiburg), Gini Wijnaldum (Ettifaq FC)

    86 OVR: Lena Oberdorf (Bayern Munich)

Filling this lineup with affordable players from Ligue 1 or other leagues will help you meet the rating without overspending FIFA 25 Coins. Be sure to check the market for fluctuations, as high-rated cards can be in demand, especially during active SBC events.

2. Top Form Segment

This section has slightly higher requirements, necessitating TOTW cards to meet the overall SBC standards. Here's an affordable selection to fulfill the Top Form SBC:

    81 OVR: Tatumn Milazzo (Chicago Red Stars), Stefan Savic (Trabzonspor), Xaver Schlager (Leipzig)

    85 OVR TOTW: Willi Orban (Leipzig)

    84 OVR: Artem Dovbyk (Roma)

    81 OVR: Arkadiusz Milik (Juventus), Evelyne Viens (Roma), Paulina Dudek (PSG)

    80 OVR: Sophie Ingle (Chelsea), Nicolas Gonzalez (Juventus)

    81 OVR: Rachel Hill (Bay FC)

The Top Form segment requires careful planning around TOTW cards, so utilize any untradable TOTW cards in your club to cut costs.

3. 83-Rated Squad Segment

The 83-Rated Squad requires players with a minimum 83 overall rating. Here are some options that are relatively affordable:

    82 OVR: Thomas Partey (Arsenal), Fabian Schar (Newcastle United), Kevin Trapp (Frankfurt), Giada Grreggi (Roma), Marco Carnesecchi (Atalanta), Sveindis Jonsdottir (Wolfsburg), Rafaelle (Orlando Pride), Patrik Schick (Leverkusen)

    85 OVR: Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund)

    86 TOTW OVR: Sadio Mane (Al-Nassr)

Utilizing any high-rated cards from your existing inventory can help save FIFA 25 Coins here, as 83+ rated cards tend to spike during high-profile SBCs. Try to snipe these cards in the market at off-peak times to avoid overpaying.

4. 84-Rated Squad Segment

This final section of the SBC requires slightly higher-rated players. Here's a suggested lineup:

    83 OVR: Angel di Maria (Benfica), Leah Galton (Manchester United), Viktor Tsygankov (Girona), Klara Buhl (Bayern Munich), Gerrard Moreno (Villarreal), Sherida Spitse (Ajax)

    87 OVR: Declan Rice (Arsenal)

    86 TOTW OVR: Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund)

    83 OVR: Aymeric Laporte (Al-Nassr), Guido Rodriguez (West Ham)

Including an 87-rated player like Declan Rice and TOTW cards here will help keep costs manageable while achieving the necessary rating. Aim to utilize players from your club that meet these requirements first, especially TOTW cards, as they're generally more expensive to purchase.

Final Thoughts

For FC 25 players looking to bolster their attacking lineup with a powerful, fast striker, Trailblazers Jonathan David is certainly worth considering. The First Touch PlayStyle+ enhances his ball control and agility, making him highly effective in breaking down defenses and creating scoring opportunities. Furthermore, his 80,000 FIFA 25 Coins cost can be reduced significantly if you have TOTW cards or high-rated untradables, making him a solid investment for most squads.

Keep in mind that this SBC expires on November 3, so plan your moves wisely to optimize your FIFA 25 Coins and complete this challenge with minimal expense. By following these strategies, you can make the most out of your coins while adding a high-impact player to your lineup.
