Mbappé's card turns into a thousand-player puzzle on Nick Clips
Two new uploads swing from praise for EA to a close look at the cost of October's LaLiga Player of the Month card.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
This Mbappe SBC Costs 1,171 86 Rated Cards?!
Submitting fewer players sounds like it should make a Squad Building Challenge easier. In Nick Clips' newest upload, the calculation goes the other way: cutting the required pile to 500 players pushes the streamer's estimated bill above eight million coins.
The clips channel's most-watched new upload, "This Mbappe SBC Costs 1,171 86 Rated Cards?!", follows a RunTheFUTMarket stream reaction through market comparisons, card stats and a FUTBIN solver. The cheapest route he examines requires more than a thousand 86-rated cards. He also stresses what players won't receive along the way: packs or cards back from their submissions. His verdict is narrower than the title's astonishment: the system looks flawed when applied to top-tier cards.
The upload reached roughly 41,000 views in eight hours and carries the channel's strongest momentum. Viewers are discussing the work involved as much as the price. Some remember SBCs returning tradable packs in earlier FIFA editions; another compares the menu grind to Sudoku. A dissenting comment asks whether an early-season special Mbappé card should be widely accessible at all.
That makes quite a turn from the week's other upload, "This is The BEST Thing EA's Done ALL YEAR". Together, the two new clips supply most of the immediate momentum, while May's player-pick reaction continues to pick up a smaller trickle of views.
Across the channel, daily viewing is a little below its usual level, and subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby, Even More Chuff added subscribers and had a substantially larger viewing week, while Manny Plus had a similar-sized weekly audience gain. For Nick Clips, the freshest talking point is less about football on the pitch than the enormous stack of cards needed to get one footballer into a squad.

Sbcs used to be cheaper AND give you tradeable packs back in the FIFA days
@CarlosRojas-hr6msSee it on YouTubeI've been saying it for ages.
This game is just one big Sudoku by now. You thought you bought a futtie game? No way bro, this is a Puzzle game. 95% of it is grinding menus and solving puzzles 😭@boepiesnoep7867See it on YouTubeI miss FIFA 12.

I’m so confused why everyone is so suprised that a start of the game mbappe special card is this expensive? This is month 2 of the game, and ea already explained they want a slower progression curve this year. What would a fairly accessible end game card do for the player base?
