This method will ensure you spend minimal coins while completing this SBC grind. If you follow this method efficiently, you will also make a profit along the way as well.

Also, if you already have a stocked club of gold players, you can skip Steps 1 – 3 and go straight to completing the Premium Winter League Upgrade SBC.

Following these steps will give your club the high-rated players you need to complete any player SBC!

Step 1: Opening Bronze Packs

This grind begins by doing the Bronze Pack Method. This method involves opening the 750-coin Bronze Pack in the FUT Store.

The Bronze Pack Method is a trading technique where you open Bronze Packs while selling most of the contents in the pack. The 750-coin Bronze Pack contains 12 items meaning you will only need to sell four items at 200 coins to return a profit.

This method is one of the easiest ways to make coins in FIFA 23 and using it in this SBC grind will also help you stock your club with players.

To make coins using while grinding the Winter League Upgrade, you need to sell every Bronze Rare item you pack. While keeping all the common Bronze players except for players from the following leagues:

  • Premier League
  • Ligue 1
  • Bundesliga
  • Eredivisie
  • La Liga
  • Serie A

As you open these Bronze Packs and sell the players mentioned above, you will remain near the same coin total or even make a profit.

Step 2: The Winter Bronze Upgrade SBC

After you have stocked your club with common Bronzes, you will need to use these in the Winter Bronze Upgrade SBC. This will help you turn those Bronze players into Silver players.

This SBC is really easy to complete as all it requires is 11 Bronze Players. In return, you will gain four Silver items – two Rare & two Common.

  • Premier League
  • Ligue 1

This SBC is also easy to complete as it only requires 11 Silver players. In return, you will receive five Gold Common players.

Step 4: The Gold Upgrade SBC

When you have opened your Silver Upgrade packs, go to the Gold Upgrade SBC in the Upgrade tab of the SBC section.

This SBC will let you submit 11 Common Golds to gain two Rare Gold players. Make sure you do not use players from the following Leagues:

Go through each SBC section and see which ones you can complete using the players you have gained from Steps 2, 3 & 4.

If you can’t fully complete the whole Premium Winter League Upgrade, repeat the steps until you can.

Make sure to sell everything you can from these SBC tabs in this repeatable SBC:

  • Ligue 1 & Eredivisie
