FIFA 20‘s FUT Birthday promo is coming to an end after the Easter weekend so we’re into the final few player SBCs that we’ll see. This one is themed around Napoli’s Kostas Manolas, who now has a five-star weak foot. In case you want to add him to your squad, here’s everything you need to know about how to complete the FUT Birthday Manolas SBC in FIFA 20.
The card is okay. He’s really fast and his defending and physical stats are top tier, but why have EA decided to boost the weak foot of a defender who’s notorious in FIFA for having low passing stats?
Even with this +4 overall boost, he’ll still be a liability on the ball. You’d need to just hoof the ball clear whenever it comes near him. At least he won’t be out-paced easily by attackers.
It’s difficult to put a price on him right now too, which we’ll get to. Here are the FUT Birthday Manolas SBC requirements.

How to Complete FUT Birthday Manolas SBC in FIFA 20
The best thing to do for both parts is to build a squad from one of the major leagues in FIFA 20. For 84 and 85 rated squads, it’s probably best to go for La Liga or Bundesliga.
The likes of Sommer, Burki, Havertz, Javi Martinez, Jerome Boateng, or Tah are good from the Bundesliga, and there are loads of players in La Liga that work, especially Spanish strikers like Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata.
However, I’d recommend you opt for as many 84 and 85 rated players as possible, avoiding the high rated cards. All 86 and higher players have become very expensive due to the three times the FUT Birthday Party Bag SBC has been released over the last few weeks.
In all honesty, I’d wait until just before this FUT Birthday Manolas SBC expires, because fodder prices will decrease again once the Party Bag SBCs expire.
For the single Serie A player you need, use someone like Gianluigi Donnarumma, Lucas Leiva, or Gianluigi Buffon.
Be sure to also use TOTW players from the active FIFA 20 squad when you need them in the FUT Birthday Manolas SBC, since they’ll stay cheaper by being actively packed.
That’s everything you need to know about how to complete the FUT Birthday Manolas SBC in FIFA 20. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to check out our wiki guide or search for Twinfinite.
