Rodrigo De Paul vs Sebastian Berhalter — Which SBC Should You Complete?
- Choose Rodrigo De Paul if you want a more complete all-round midfielder with defensive bite, stamina, and physicality. He’s better suited for competitive and Weekend League gameplay.
- Choose Sebastian Berhalter if you run MLS/USA squads or you’re betting on a US win — his SBC offers strong price-to-performance value and could become a steal with an upgrade.
