Rivalry #1 and #2: two 81s for two 88s
Two Rivalry challenges at an 81 average, each paying an 88 Rivalry card: an offense with three from Blue Chip City for Tee Higgins, and a defense with three from Steel City for Patrick Queen. Both close on 15 November.
Two Rivalry challenges are live right now, and each pays an 88 from the Rivalry set. Rivalry #1 is an offense at an 81 average with three of the eleven from Blue Chip City, for Tee Higgins. Rivalry #2 is a defense at an 81 average with three from Steel City, for Patrick Queen. Both ask for one Bronze and two Silvers, and both close at midnight UTC at the end of 15 November.
The sum both of them share
An 81 average needs 886 across eleven cards. The game rounds the average it shows, so 80.5 already reads as 81, and 11 times 80.5 is 885.5, rounded up to 886. Asking for 11 times 81 would mean 891, five more than either challenge needs.
The three metal cards are what makes that hard. A Bronze card tops out at 64 and a Silver at 74, so even at the top of their bands the three carry 212. The other eight then need 674, an average of 84.25: four 84s and four 85s, or anything that adds up the same.
The game rounds the average it shows, so 886 is enough where 11 times 81 would ask for 891.
The most the three metal slots can carry.
An 84.25 average.
Rivalry #1: the Blue Chip City offense
Rivalry #1 wants a quarterback, three running backs, two receivers, a center, two guards and two tackles, with no tight end. Blue Chip City's best at each of those positions, counting the special cards that take their player's city:
- Quarterback: Joe Burrow's Wild West #1 card at 94, and his 90
- Running back: Chase Brown at 77, the only one above 68
- Wide receiver: Ja'Marr Chase's Weekend League card at 93, and his 92
- Center: Ted Karras's Seasoned Vets #1 card at 89, Connor Lew's Halloween #3 card at 84
- Guard: Jalen Rivers's Prospects #2 card at 85, and his 72
- Tackle: Amarius Mims's Team of the Week #9 card at 84, Cody Ford at 64
The cheapest way through puts the city and the metal on the same three cards. Connor Lew at center and Jalen Rivers at guard are Silver, Cody Ford at tackle is Bronze, and all three are Blue Chip City. That is 210 for three requirements at once, and the other eight need 676, an 84.5 average.
The video takes another route: Ted Karras's Seasoned Vets #1 card at 89 and Jalen Rivers's Prospects #2 card at 85 twice, which count for Blue Chip City through their players. Carnell Tate's 83 Player of the Month card, Jordyn Tyson's Future Stars #1 83, J.K. Dobbins's Wasteland 83, D'Andre Swift at 83 and Cam Skattebo's 90's Retro 83 fill the receivers and backs. Jacoby Brissett and Armand Membou at 74 are the Silvers, and Chukwuma Okorafor at 64 is the Bronze. That comes to 906, twenty more than it needs.
Rivalry #2: the Steel City defense
Rivalry #2 is a whole defense: a tackle, two ends, three linebackers, three corners and two safeties. Steel City is deepest at corner, from Jalen Ramsey's Halloween #2 card at 92 down to Joey Porter Jr.'s Weekend League card at 84 and Jamel Dean at 83. Its ends are its weak spot, with nothing above 61.
Joey Porter Jr.'s Weekend League 84 does the most work. It is a Steel City corner, and the same card can go in more than once, so three copies of it fill all three corners and the whole city requirement in one go. His base 81 sits under The Metroplex in the collection book, but this card's own player screen reads Steel City, and this is the card that goes in.
The video does exactly that, then lets the PTC Solver fill the rest. Devonnsha Maxwell at 64 is the Bronze tackle, JT Tuimoloau at 74 is both Silver ends, Andrew Van Ginkel at 84 takes all three linebacker slots, and Brandon Jones's Wild West #2 card at 85 plays both safeties. The eleven come to 886 exactly.
What they pay
Tee Higgins's Rivalry card is an 88 receiver with 88 speed, 90 catching and 88 agility. Patrick Queen's is an 88 linebacker with 91 speed, 88 tackling and 87 awareness. Each challenge pays once, and the Rivalry set page has both cards.
In the PTC Solver, the + on an open slot can now offer a card that is already in the eleven, because a challenge takes the same card more than once. Place the city cards first, then read Avg needed from here to see what the rest have to average.
