Shortly after the POTM SBC of Jadon Sancho went live in FIFA 19, it was gone again. Now it is back: EA fixed a bug, leaving the rest of the challenge untouched.
This is the POTM SBC: Last Friday, EA Sports released the second Bundesliga “Player of the Month” ever: Jadon Sancho received the award for October, succeeding teammate Marco Reus. Players could secure the winger through a Squad Building Challenge – but only for a short time.
EA disables an SBC again
Sancho SBC disappeared again: However, shortly after the SBC went live, it was gone again. While some had already secured the POTM, others only partially completed the SBC. The result: player items that had already been exchanged did not yield the desired reward.
The community reacted accordingly annoyed – after all, there had been a similar problem just a few days prior with Icon SBC 3. Now the SBC returned with a new POTM Sancho card as a reward:
This was the problem: The reason for the SBC disappearing was due to Sancho’s position. The reward card had the left midfield (LM) position, although it was announced as RM.
This position is currently also filled by Sancho at Borussia Dortmund – another reason that caused confusion among players: Why was the card even published as LM?
EA acknowledged this error, disabled the challenge, and has now brought it back revised. The requirements remain the same – you can still utilize the solutions for the Sancho SBC.
EA returns players: Player items that were exchanged during the partial completion of the SBC will return to the clubs. If you already have the LM Sancho in your team, you will receive the RM variant for free. However, this process may take a little time.
With this issue, EA Sports once again caused annoyance in the community. The players had to deal with massive server problems over the weekend, leading to the Weekend League being extended by 24 hours. Previously, the new patch also left many players unhappy.
