The Joga Bonito Challenge 3 SBC has arrived in FC 26 Ultimate Team, offering a chance to grab a valuable pack without spending coins on high-rated cards. It’s a single-squad puzzle, but its chemistry requirements make it trickier than most daily SBCs. If you plan your build carefully, you can clear it with common Gold cards and still hit all chemistry targets.

What the Joga Bonito Challenge 3 SBC Requires
The SBC only has one section, but the rules overlap in ways that make squad planning slightly restrictive. Here’s what the challenge demands:
- Max 4 players from the same League
- Max 3 players from the same Club
- Minimum 9 Gold players
- Minimum 3 Rare players
- Player quality must be at least Silver or higher
- Squad Chemistry must be 31 or more
The chemistry requirement is the real obstacle here. With restrictions on league stacking and limited club overlap, reaching 31 chemistry usually means carefully mixing nationalities or smaller league clusters to push chemistry points higher.
How to Approach the Challenge Efficiently
Before turning to a complete solution, it helps to understand the best strategy:
Build Using Flexible Links
Players with multiple strong-linking options (shared nationality across different leagues) can carry chemistry even when league stacking is restricted.
Prioritize Gold Card Variety
Since you need at least nine Gold cards and only four from the same league, spread them across 2–4 leagues to avoid breaking restrictions.
Use Untradeables First
This type of SBC is designed for clearing club fodder. Check your club for spare Rares before buying anything.
