FIFA 19 Tough SBC: Ultimate Team Squad Building Challenge Guide
By Ford James ·
The Tough SBC in the FIFA 19 Ultimate Team Hybrid League & Nation Squad Building Challenges is a very difficult one. Here's the cheapest way we've found to complete it.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team’s Squad Building Challenges are a quick way to make some coins in Ultimate Team, but some of them are hard to complete. Tough is the name of the third SBC in the Hybrid Leagues & Nations category and it’s also the difficulty level because this one is not easy. You need exactly six different leagues and exactly six different nations, with at least 89 chemistry and a minimum team rating of 80. On top of that, you can only have two players from the same league and two from the same nation. It’s complex but luckily, we’ve figured out how to complete it relatively cheaply.

There’s two extra steps in order to make this team eligible for the challenge. Firstly, you’ll need to buy two position modifiers. CAM > CF, then CF to ST. Apply them both to Bruno Fernandes, as he’s a CAM that has to be played up front.
Secondly, you need this team to have at least five loyalty points. Loyalty is when a players has played at least 10 games for your team, they receive extra chemistry points. It’s impossible to do this challenge without loyalty, so bear that in mind. Luckily for you, we’ll have a guide up very shortly on how to get loyalty for your players in under 30 minutes without it affecting your win/loss record.
It’s completely worth it though - completing this challenge rewards you with a Mega Pack worth 35,000 coins. It’s one of the best chances you’ve got of unpacking a Team Of The Week or One To Watch player. We’d also recommend tackling the other FIFA 19 SBC challenges in Hybrid Leagues and Hybrid Nations.
