You can opt for the Premier League, just like we did, mainly because we find it to be quite diverse when it comes to player options.
Avoid using more than three players from the same country or region.

Ballon d’Or Challenge 2
Similar to the first challenge, thisSBCalso requires you to submit a squad of11 players, all of whom must have a minimumSilver Player Quality. In addition to that, here are all theChallenge Requirementsyou need to meet to complete thisSBC:
Players from the same league
Players from 1 club
Minimum 2 in your starting 11
Minimum 8 in your Starting 11
Minimum 22 in your Starting 11
This challenge is definitely tougher than the firstBallon d’Or challengedue to two key reasons: you needeight gold playersand a total of22 chemistry. Another crucial factor is managing the number of players from each league, as the challenge requires you to usefewer than four playersfrom any single league.
To achieve the22 chemistry, try usingthree leagueswith players from similar countries. Your best option is to focus on thetop leagues, where you may findEnglish,Spanish,German, andFrenchplayers. In ourSBC solution, we usedFrench playersfrom four different leagues to boost our chemistry, then added more players from their respective leagues.
