Of course, we all love our OP vacuum cleaner from the Premier League. You can't help but like N'Golo Kanté and what's more, he's absolutely awesome as a player. So, EA is really giving us a treat by releasing a Flashback Card of the Chelsea star.
When N'Golo Kanté has a good day, nobody can get past him - this applies to FIFA 22 as well as to football in real life. Seriously, every team would love to have the likeable Smiley-Face in their squad. At least virtually, you can get your hands on him as a new Flashback Player. How expensive is the SBC, how good is this special object in comparison to his gold card, and is it better than Samuel Umtiti?
Kanté Flashback SBC in FIFA 22: All Challenges
N'Golo is a pretty impressive player with a linkable nation in the strongest league of the world, so logically, he's much more expensive than other SBCs. The Flashback SBC sends us back in time to the 2015/16 season, when the Frenchman was still cleaning up the midfield at Leicester City. Looking at his new card, he gets a nice pace upgrade but loses a bit of his defensive power - don't let his -3 rating to 87 put you off at this point, though.
But let's go back to the price, shall we? Currently, the Flashback N'Golo Kanté costs between 290,000 and 330,000 coins, which possibly has something to do with the heavy Market Crash in FIFA 22. In total, there are seven tasks to complete, two of which are really easy in terms of team building:
- Gold Squad: Gold Players: Min. 11, Team Chemistry: Min. 30 (4,5k)
- Rare Gold Squad: Player Level: Min. Gold, Rare: Min. 11, Team Chemistry: Min. 30 (7,5k)
For these two teams, you don't need any sophisticated player combinations or a lot of money in your bank account. Let's take a closer look at the more complex challenges!

Is the Kanté Flashback SBC in FIFA 22 Worth it?
Yes, because usually Kanté is extremely OP as a CDM. Whether better pace for less defense and physicality is a good deal or not remains to be seen. For less than 300k coins, the SBC is still quite cheap - all things considered - and you don't have to grind to complete all seven challenges - especially compared to the hefty Ronaldo POTM SBC.
If you have some coins or untradable players left that you don't need anyway and are also really keen on N'Golo Kanté, you can definitely give his Special Card a try. Your Weekend League opponents won't have a good time against you.
