Completing this SBC requires multiple high-rated squads. You will need a 90-rated squad, an 89-rated squad with a TOTW/TOTS card, a Top Form squad with TOTW/TOTS, plus Premier League and Chelsea specific squads. The total estimated cost is around 254,000 coins on console and 270,000 coins on PC, with pack returns valued at approximately 23,500 coins. This makes the challenge demanding but rewarding for those seeking a top-tier midfielder.
Caicedo’s card reflects his role as a defensive anchor. His pace in the high 80s ensures he covers ground quickly, while defending surpasses 90 with standout interceptions and tackles. Physicality is equally strong, with stamina and aggression making him relentless in midfield battles. Passing and composure allow him to recycle possession effectively, turning defense into attack. As a CDM, he embodies the modern destroyer-playmaker hybrid, capable of shielding the backline while initiating transitions.
These PlayStyles+ make Caicedo a unique CDM who not only dominates defensively but also contributes creatively by initiating incisive transitions.
To maximize his stats, Shadow is ideal to push pace and defending to elite levels, Anchor balances pace, defending, and physicality for a complete shield, while Gladiator adds shooting and defending if you want him to contribute offensively.
This SBC is expensive, requiring multiple high-rated squads and costing over 250k coins. However, the return is a Premier League CDM with elite defensive PlayStyles+, strong links to Chelsea and Ecuador, and excellent stamina. The pros include dominant defensive stats, strong chemistry links, and relentless presence. The cons are the high coin cost and limited offensive contribution despite his improved weak foot. Verdict: If you need a top-tier CDM for Premier League or hybrid squads, Caicedo is worth the investment. Otherwise, cheaper alternatives may suffice.
