On January 9, EA Sports released three new FUT Icon Squad Building Challenges for FIFA 21. Thanks to these new Squad Building Challenges, Kaka, Michael Owen, and Irish footballer Roy Keane all have FIFA 21 Icon player items available through special SBCs. And like other Icon Squad Building Challenges that previously went live in FIFA 21, Roy Keane’s SBC won’t be easy or cheap.

How to complete Roy Keane SBC

To complete the Roy Keane Squad Building Challenge, FIFA players will need to construct six different starting lineups of 11 players. Each lineup has its own unique set of requirements.

As far as solutions go, FIFA players shouldn’t have any difficulties with the Born Legend and Rising Star parts of this challenge. Since those parts require only Bronze and Silver items, respectively, those lineups should cost either very little, or nothing at all. But for the other lineups, here are some solutions that could help you along the way:
