Diego Carlos FC 24: How to Complete the Road to the Knockouts SBC

Here's how to complete the FC 24 Road to the Knockouts Diego Carlos SBC:

Segment 1

• Brazilian Players: Min. 1
• Squad Rating: 85
• No Chemistry Requirement
• Players in the Squad: 11
• REWARD: Small Electrum Players Pack

Segment 2

• Premier League Players: Min. 1
• Squad Rating: 85
• No Chemistry Requirement
• Players in the Squad: 11
• REWARD: Small Prime Electrum Players Pack

Segment 3

• Squad Rating: 86
• No Chemistry Requirement
• Players in the Squad: 11
• REWARD: Small Rare Mixed Players Pack

First off, this is a decent card on the surface. Good stats in key areas though the agility and balance for a defender is a bit lower than preferred. He also has the Anticipate PlayStyle which is great for tackling. But, the price attached doesn't make this card worth it. Yes, Aston Villa should be good for an upgrade or two in the Europa Conference League despite being last in its group currently. It will take some time to get those upgrades though considering the fixture schedule. It's likely better to save your coins or fodder for something else to come.
