Burnley’s Nick Pope has been shining brighter than many of the other Premier League goalkeepers during the 2019/20 season, and FIFA 20 Ultimate Team players can now pick up his FUT Birthday special card by completing an SBC.
The in-game event, which celebrates the creation of FUT each year, has already brought a whole host of Squad Building Challenges to the game – most recently for Rodrigo Moreno, Malang Sarr, Tiemoue Bakayoko, and more.
Now, if you thought these previous special cards were good, and maybe a bit out of your price range, wait until you see this ‘keeper. So, let’s run through Pope’s in-game stats, requirements, cost, and solutions – so you can decide if you want to add him to your squad.

Nick Pope FUT Birthday cost and solution
Unlike many other FUT Birthday cards, Pope actually isn’t too pricey – especially considering he’s the only goalkeeper in the entire game with five star skills. According to the FUTBIN database, he will set you back around 50,000 on PlayStation 4, 57,000 on Xbox One, and if you play on PC, the challenge will cost around 48,000 to finish.
Of course, do have in mind that markets change quickly on all platforms, so this may be higher or lower when you come to do it. Finally, here’s our recommended solution.
That’s just one team that can work, but there are obviously a few other alternatives as well if you find that one or two of the cards have become a little expensive – so feel free to mix them around slightly to suit.
