The Premier League hype on Ultimate Team continues!
First the Premier League TOTSSF - including two Season Objectives players - dropped on Friday, and then on Saturday we were treated to a Player Moments Diogo Jota SBC (albeit it a very expensive one)
To end the weekend we have yet another Premier League player who was become available via the SBC market.
This time it’s Chelsea LB Marcos Alonso who has been handed a Flashback card, celebrating his inclusion in the FIFA 17 TOTS.
Here is everything that you need to know about the card.
Two Flashback Alonsos?!
That’s right, for the first time ever, EA have decided to drop not one, but two Flashback Alonso cards! The ‘default’ Flashback Alonso comes in at an 88 OVR whilst the ‘Premium’ Flashback Alonso is a 90 OVR!

Who to pick?
This is a tricky decision.
The ‘default’ Marcos Alonso card isn’t bad at all, but he’s not going to get into any elite sides. The Premium Alonso however, is a different story altogether, albeit it a much more expensive one.

Both cards are significant improvements on Alonso’s base card and, most importantly of all, both of them have 80+ pace. The 88-rated version of the Spaniard has 80 OVR pace whilst the 90-rated card has 88 pace.
Decisions Decisions Decisions - Both are nice cards, but which will you choose?
You’ll get 87 OVR’s in both defending and physical on the cheaper version and you’ll jump to 90’s in both in the premium version. Four of the six base stats on the premium card are above 90-rated, as he also receives 93 dribbling and 91 passing.
3*/3* and H/H workrates are in place on both cards. The main drawback here is that both cards are untradeable. The only Premier League LB who can compare to the premium version is TOTS/TOTY Any Robertson who, at time of writing, is trading for around 100k more than this SBC costs to complete.

If you’re sure you’re sticking with a Premier League team and don’t mind splashing the cash on a fullback, then it’s definitely worth completing the Premium SBC. If not, the 88-rated will still do a decent job!
