Are you having trouble with Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) in EA Sports FC 24? You're not alone! Many players encounter issues when trying to complete these challenges. This article dives into common problems that prevent SBCs from working correctly and provides practical solutions to get you back on track.

    Understanding SBCs in EA FC 24

    Before we dive into troubleshooting, let's quickly recap what SBCs are and why they're so popular. Squad Building Challenges are a game mode within EA FC 24 where you exchange players from your club to receive rewards. These rewards can range from player packs to unique, untradeable player cards. SBCs are a great way to improve your Ultimate Team squad, especially if you have a lot of unused players sitting in your club. The allure of potentially packing a high-rated player or obtaining a special card keeps players engaged and coming back for more.

    However, the process isn't always smooth sailing. Sometimes, you might find that the SBC you're trying to complete simply isn't working. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you've invested time and resources into building the required squad. But don't worry, guys! There are several reasons why this might be happening, and most of them have relatively simple fixes.

    Common Issues Preventing SBC Completion

    Several factors can contribute to SBCs not working correctly. Here are some of the most common culprits:

    • Incorrect Player Placement: One of the most frequent mistakes players make is placing players in the wrong positions within the squad. SBCs often have specific requirements regarding player positions, such as needing a certain number of defenders, midfielders, or attackers. Make sure each player is placed in their designated position according to the SBC requirements. Double-check that you haven't accidentally swapped a left-back with a right-back, or a center-midfielder with a winger. Even a small error in placement can prevent the SBC from being submitted.

    • Incorrect Chemistry: Chemistry is crucial in Ultimate Team, and it plays a significant role in SBCs. The SBC might require a certain level of team chemistry to be met. This means that the players in your squad need to have strong links with each other, based on factors like nationality, league, and club. If your team chemistry is too low, the SBC won't be accepted. To improve chemistry, try using players from the same league or nation, or those who play for the same club. Chemistry Styles can also subtly influence how players link together.

    • Duplicate Players: The game might prevent you from submitting an SBC if you have duplicate players in your squad, especially if they are untradeable. Untradeable duplicates can sometimes cause conflicts within the game's system. Try removing the duplicate player and see if that resolves the issue. If you have multiple versions of the same player, ensure you're using the correct one that meets the SBC requirements. Sometimes, different versions of a player (e.g., a regular card and an in-form card) might not be interchangeable in an SBC.

    • Server Issues: Sometimes, the problem isn't on your end at all. EA's servers can experience outages or maintenance, which can temporarily prevent SBCs from being completed. Check EA's social media channels or the EA Sports website to see if there are any known server issues. If there are, the best thing to do is wait until the servers are back up and running before trying again. Server problems are usually resolved relatively quickly, so be patient and keep checking back.

    • Game Glitches: Like any game, EA FC 24 can have glitches or bugs that interfere with gameplay. These glitches can sometimes affect SBCs, preventing them from being completed. If you suspect a glitch, try restarting the game or your console. This can often resolve minor issues. If the problem persists, you may need to contact EA Support to report the glitch and seek further assistance.

    Step-by-Step Troubleshooting for EA FC 24 SBC Issues

    Now that we've identified the common problems, let's walk through some step-by-step troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve them:

    1. Verify Player Positions and Roles

    Start by meticulously checking the position of each player in your squad. Ensure that they match the requirements of the SBC. Pay close attention to specific positions like left-back (LB), right-back (RB), center-back (CB), left-midfielder (LM), right-midfielder (RM), and center-midfielder (CM). Even if a player is slightly out of position, it can prevent the SBC from being submitted.

    To verify player positions:

    • Open the SBC in EA FC 24.
    • Carefully examine the position requirements for each slot in the squad.
    • Compare the position of each player in your squad to the required positions.
    • If any players are out of position, move them to the correct slots.

    2. Optimize Team Chemistry

    Team chemistry is vital for SBC completion. If your team chemistry is too low, the SBC won't be accepted. Here's how to optimize your team chemistry:

    • Use Players from the Same League or Nation: Players from the same league or nation have stronger chemistry links. Try to build your squad with players who share these attributes.
    • Use Players from the Same Club: Players from the same club have the strongest chemistry links. If possible, include multiple players from the same club in your squad.
    • Consider Player Chemistry Styles: Chemistry Styles can boost specific attributes and improve chemistry links. Experiment with different Chemistry Styles to see what works best for your squad.
    • Check Manager Bonus: Having a manager of the same nationality or league as some of your players can provide a small chemistry boost.

    To check your team chemistry:

    • Open the SBC in EA FC 24.
    • Look at the team chemistry rating displayed on the screen.
    • If the chemistry is too low, make adjustments to your squad using the tips above.

    3. Resolve Duplicate Player Conflicts

    Duplicate players can sometimes cause issues with SBCs, especially if they are untradeable. Here's how to resolve duplicate player conflicts:

    • Remove Duplicate Players: If you have duplicate players in your squad, remove one of them.
    • Use Tradeable Versions: If you have both tradeable and untradeable versions of the same player, try using the tradeable version in the SBC.
    • Store Untradeable Duplicates: If you can't use the untradeable duplicate in the SBC, store it in your club or quick sell it (if necessary).

    To identify and resolve duplicate player conflicts:

    • Open the SBC in EA FC 24.
    • Check your squad for any duplicate players.
    • Remove or replace any duplicates as needed.

    4. Check EA Server Status

    Sometimes, the issue might be with EA's servers rather than your squad. Here's how to check the server status:

    • Visit the EA Sports Website: Check the official EA Sports website for server status updates.
    • Check EA's Social Media Channels: Follow EA Sports on Twitter and other social media platforms for real-time updates on server issues.
    • Use Third-Party Websites: Several third-party websites track the status of EA servers. Search online for
