While glorious blue Team of the Year cards are usually reserved for the 12 best players of the year, in FIFA 21, fans are getting a few extra TOTY cards to obtain through objectives or Squad Building Challenges.
These Honourable Mentions TOTY players still boast the same boosted stats as those who made the actual TOTY lineup, but are slightly less arduous to obtain. Right now, RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is up for grabs in all his blue glory by completing an SBC, and we’re here to help you solve it.
With five stats over 84, Sabitzer is a perfect midfield allrounder and will slot into anyone’s Bundesliga squad. While his Austrian nationality means linking to other top players outside the Bundesliga is hard, this will definitely be a wise investment if you are a lover of the German top division. There are three separate puzzles to complete to get Sabitzer, so here’s everything you need to know to crack them.

Sabitzer TOTY SBC solutions
With relatively easy requirements across all three SBCs, you’ve got a fair bit of freedom as to which players you can use. However, we’re here to offer some suitable players that you will almost certainly need to complete each one. For general filler players, you can check out our cheapest SBC players guide.
RB Leipzig
For this you need at least one player from Sabitzer’s club, and we suggest using goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi. While he costs around 12,000 coins, he is 85-rated, so is really useful in keeping to the squad rating requirement of 84.
To hit the 75 chemistry, you’ll need a few players on full chem, and we suggest using Bundesliga players and Premier League players to fill it out as they have a strong population of cheap 83 and 84-rated players.
Top Form
Hopefully you have an In Form card stashed away in your club somewhere for this one, but if not you’ll have to nab one off the transfer market. We suggest going for one of the following Ligue 1 In Form cards:
- Ludovic Ajorque (France)
- Mike Maignan (France)
- Marcelo (Brazil)
These three are all 84-rated, available for less than 20,000 coins, come from easily linkable countries, and come from a league with a number of cheap high-rated players like Keylor Navas, Memphis Depay, Marco Veratti, and more.
We suggest linking up some of these Ligue 1 players for chemistry, and then filling the rest of the team out with linked up Bundesliga or Premier League players. Both of these leagues have a good number of players rated 86 or 87.
Bundesliga
Chemistry isn’t too much of an issue for this one, but you will need an 87-rated quad. Getting 11 87-rated players could get pricey, so we suggest grabbing a couple of big players like Thibaut Courtois, Karim Benzema, or Casemiro. All are 89-rated and are from the same club, helping with both rating and chemistry.
Then you only need players around the 84-87 mark to hit the squad rating.
You will, however, need one Bundesliga player. Cheap pickups, depending on what rating you’re after, include once again Peter Gulacsi (85), Yann Sommer or Lukas Hradecky’s Headliner card (both 86), or Jadon Sancho (87).
There we have it folks, some savvy tips for solving this three-part SBC to get your hands on a delicious TOTY card. Sabitzer definitely looks like he’s worth the investment, especially if you have a number of the players mentioned above in your club already.
