The FC 27 LALIGA POTM for October is Kylian Mbappé, and his 92-rated SBC went live on 9 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. It asks for 5,200,000 Item Score, four times what September's LaLiga winner cost. We priced it against every other Mbappé in the game. The SBC is the cheapest way to own a 92 Mbappé, but it's barely the cheapest, and the card can never be sold.
Quick answer (TLDR): The FC 27 Mbappé POTM SBC costs 5,169,225 coins on console and 5,513,720 on PC in the cheapest fodder, per the FUT.GG solver. It gives an untradeable 92 ST with almost the same stats as his TOTW 92, which sells for 6,015,000 on console. The POTM swaps Quick Step+ for Gamechanger+. Buying the TOTW costs about 846,000 coins more but you can sell it later, so it's the better deal for anyone paying in coins. Do the SBC only if most of the 5.2M comes from untradeable cards you already own. It expires Monday 7 December 2026 at 17:00 UTC.

What Is the FC 27 Mbappé POTM SBC?
It's a Streamlined SBC with one challenge, so there's no squad to build and chemistry doesn't matter. You hand in players rated 45 or higher until their combined Item Score reaches 5,200,000. The tile reads: "Earn the LALIGA Player of the Month for October."

The price shocked a lot of players. u/SEFA___ summed up the reaction in an r/fut thread titled "Official - POTM Mbappe is 5.2 million gems. Anyone still going for it?" (r/fut). It's the biggest POTM target we've tracked in FC 27. Our September POTM breakdown had Raphinha's 89 at 1,300,000 Item Score, so this one is 4× the size.
How Much Does the Mbappé POTM SBC Cost?
Plan on 4.9M to 5.3M coins on console if you buy everything. The two trackers we checked on the evening of 9 November disagree by about 280,000:
| Tracker (9 Nov, ~22:45 UTC) | Console | PC |
|---|---|---|
| FUT.GG cheapest solution | 5,169,225 | 5,513,720 |
| NokaFut cheapest solution | 4,887,300 | 5,732,700 |
The quotes move by the minute. When we re-checked FUT.GG at 22:55 UTC it showed 5,075,250 on console and 5,357,175 on PC. We use the 22:47 figures below because they match our card-price snapshot, so treat every coin number here as a range of a few hundred thousand.
The cheapest route is almost entirely Gold 84s. Community trackers put an 84 at 830 Item Score (NokaFut cheapest Item Score). At 22:42 UTC NokaFut had the cheapest 84 at 700 coins, or 0.84 coins per point. By 22:53 UTC it had climbed to 850 coins, or 1.02 per point, and was still the best value. Standard 87s, 85s and 86s came next at 1.18 to 1.20 coins per point. An 88 cost 1.45 and a 91 cost 2.32.
So the bill is mostly a numbers game:
- About 6,266 Gold 84s cover 5,200,000 Item Score on their own.
- At 700 coins each that's 4,386,200 coins. At 850 it's 5,326,100. FUT.GG's 22:47 quote works out at roughly 825 per 84.
- Buying thousands of 84s pushes the price up as you go, so the floor is a best case, not a quote.
Our FC 27 Item Score table explains why 84s have been the best fodder since launch. Fodder is still cheaper than it was a week ago. On 2 November, FUT.GG's solver priced 84s at about 1,035 each for the Max 88 Hero SBC. The 22:47 quote here implies around 825, about 20% lower.
Untradeable cards are the real discount. EA says Item Score depends on "OVR, Rarity, and Holographic status" (EA, FUT for Beginners). Special cards score more than standard golds. Untradeable cards you already own need no new coins, though you give up the chance to use them in another SBC. If you've been stacking untradeable specials from objectives, packs and the Season Pass, the coins you actually spend can be a fraction of 5.2M.
EA's own guide gives the rule to remember: "Always remember that putting a Player Item in an SBC is just like selling it." A tradeable card you submit costs whatever it would have sold for.
How Much Does Every Mbappé Card Cost in FC 27?
NokaFut tracks eight Kylian Mbappé cards in FC 27 right now. Prices are console and PC lowest listings from NokaFut, updated 22:42 UTC on 9 November.
| Card | OVR | Console | PC | Tradeable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | 91 | 2,889,000 | 3,055,000 | Yes |
| POTM (SBC) | 92 | 4,887,300 to 5,169,225 | 5,513,720 to 5,732,700 | No |
| TOTW | 92 | 6,015,000 | 7,384,000 | Yes |
| TOTW Pristine Holo | 92 | 8,200,000 | 10,900,000 | Yes |
| Destined for Glory | 91 | 8,450,000 | no listing | Yes |
| Destined for Glory Pristine Holo | 91 | 10,500,000 | no listing | Yes |
| FUT Champions | 92 | no listing | no listing | n/a |
| FUT Champions Pristine Holo | 92 | no listing | no listing | n/a |
The TOTW 92 is the one to compare against. NokaFut's tracked range since its release 13 days ago runs from 5,699,000 up to 15,000,000, and it dropped another 1.2% on 9 November. The Destined for Glory cards cost more despite being rated 91.
POTM vs TOTW Mbappé: What's Actually Different?
Very little. We compared the two cards' full attributes on FUT.GG. The face stats match except defending and physical, which are each one point lower on the POTM.
| TOTW 92 | POTM 92 | |
|---|---|---|
| PAC / SHO / PAS / DRI / DEF / PHY | 97 / 92 / 81 / 93 / 31 / 78 | 97 / 92 / 81 / 93 / 30 / 77 |
| Acceleration / Sprint Speed | 98 / 97 | 98 / 97 |
| Finishing / Shot Power | 96 / 92 | 96 / 92 |
| Strength / Heading Accuracy | 79 / 81 | 78 / 79 |
| Skill Moves / Weak Foot | 5★ / 4★ | 5★ / 4★ |
| PlayStyle+ | Quick Step+ | Gamechanger+ |
| Basic PlayStyles | Finesse Shot, Acrobatic, Low Driven Shot, Gamechanger, Rapid, First Touch | Finesse Shot, Acrobatic, Low Driven Shot, Rapid, First Touch, Quick Step |
| Roles++ | 7 | 7 |
The only change that matters is the PlayStyle+. The in-game description of Quick Step+, as listed on FUT.GG, is "Accelerates significantly faster during Explosive Sprint." Both versions of Gamechanger enable Trivela shots. The plus version adds that fancy shots are "performed with even higher accuracy." Both cards keep the other one as a basic PlayStyle.
In our view, Quick Step+ on a 98-acceleration Explosive striker is the more useful PlayStyle+ for most players, because it's the burst you use every attack. Gamechanger+ suits players who score with outside-foot and flair finishes. So the POTM isn't an upgrade on the TOTW. It's a sideways move that costs less but can't be sold.
Compared with his Gold 91, the POTM adds one point to most in-game stats, Role++ in all 7 of his roles instead of 2 Role++ and 1 Role+, and Gamechanger+ in place of Quick Step+. That's what the extra 2.3M coins over the gold buys you at the 22:47 quote.

Is the Mbappé POTM SBC Worth It? The Resale Maths
For anyone paying in coins, the TOTW 92 is the better buy on both platforms. The reason is resale. The SBC card is untradeable, so the 5.2M is gone the moment you submit. The TOTW costs more but stays in your club as an asset.
| Console | PC | |
|---|---|---|
| TOTW 92 lowest listing | 6,015,000 | 7,384,000 |
| POTM SBC cheapest (FUT.GG) | 5,169,225 | 5,513,720 |
| Extra cost of the TOTW | 845,775 | 1,870,280 |
| TOTW gross resale price that matches the SBC cost (before 5% EA tax) | ~890,300 | ~1,968,700 |
| Gold 91 Mbappé today, for scale | 2,889,000 | 3,055,000 |
The break-even figures are gross sale prices before the 5% EA tax. A sale at about 890,000 on console nets about 845,775, exactly the TOTW's extra cost. So if you later sell the TOTW for more than that, owning it ends up cheaper than the SBC. That's under a third of what the base Gold 91 sells for today. You'd still lose coins on the TOTW itself unless it sells above about 6,331,600, but the SBC card loses all 5,169,225 because it can't be sold at all.
The maths flips in one case: untradeable fodder. If your club holds a lot of untradeable specials and objective rewards you'd never sell, submitting them needs no new coins. Every 1,000,000 Item Score they cover is about 1,205 fewer 84s to buy, which saves roughly 840,000 to 1,020,000 coins at 700 to 850 per card. Once your coin spend on the rest of the SBC is clearly below what the TOTW would cost you to own, the SBC is the cheaper route.
Should You Do It? A Three-Line Decision
- Do the SBC if untradeable cards in your club cover most of the 5,200,000 Item Score, and you'd prefer Gamechanger+ or don't mind losing Quick Step+.
- Buy the TOTW 92 instead if you'd be buying the fodder. It costs 845,775 more on console, comes with Quick Step+, and you can sell it later.
- Buy the Gold 91 if you want Mbappé in your team for the least coins. It costs 2,889,000, has Quick Step+ too, and is one point lower on most stats.
There's no rush. The SBC runs for 28 days, until 7 December 2026. Fodder has already fallen in the past week, and Black Friday promos have moved the market in past years. Our FC 27 market crash piece covers the timing. If you're planning to buy 84s, it's worth checking prices again closer to the deadline rather than paying top price on day one.
Want the Mbappé you can sell later? The TOTW 92 is the better coin buy, and a single card is one transfer instead of thousands of 84s.
