Pohjanpalo TOTS Honourable Mentions SBC

 Price and Requirements

The SBC is priced at approximately 154,000 coins and requires three squads to complete. The challenge includes one 90-rated squad and two 89-rated squads, each demanding at least one TOTW or TOTS card. While not cheap, the requirements are manageable compared to other TOTS Honourable Mentions strikers.

 Key Stats

As a Striker (ST), Pohjanpalo combines 90 Pace with 93 Shooting and 88 Physical. His acceleration and strength allow him to hold off defenders, while his finishing ensures he converts chances consistently. Though his dribbling is solid at 91, he feels more like a classic target man than a nimble dribbler, thriving in aerial duels and direct play.

 PlayStyles Plus

Pohjanpalo’s card features three impactful PlayStyles+. Precision Header+ makes him a dominant aerial threat, converting crosses with accuracy and power. Press Proven+ enhances his ability to pressure defenders and regain possession high up the pitch, fitting his aggressive style. Finally, Low Driven Shot+ ensures clinical finishing with powerful low strikes, giving him a reliable edge in one-on-one situations. Together, these traits make him a versatile striker who punishes defenses both in the air and on the ground.

 Chemistry Styles

Applying a Hunter chemistry style maximizes his pace and shooting, turning him into a lethal finisher. Alternatively, a Hawk boosts aggression and jumping, reinforcing his aerial dominance and pressing ability. Both options complement his PlayStyles+ and physical profile.

Bonus Cards: Busio and Caló

Completing this SBC also grants Gianluca Busio and Giacomo Caló, two Serie B midfielders that perfectly complement Pohjanpalo. Busio offers agility and passing vision, while Caló adds balance and defensive work rate. Together, they form a ready-made Serie B midfield core, solving chemistry issues and giving players a trio that can compete in hybrid squads or themed Serie B lineups.

 Worth it or Not

At around 154k coins for three squads, Pohjanpalo alone would be a fair but situational investment. His aerial dominance and low driven finishing make him stand out, though Serie B limits chemistry options. However, the inclusion of Busio and Caló transforms the SBC into a package deal: three usable cards that synergize perfectly. This added value makes the challenge worth completing for anyone interested in building creative squads or experimenting with Serie B talent. The trio offers a unique chemistry solution and a refreshing alternative to mainstream meta strikers.
