What the NOK-AI Solver does

The NOK-AI Solver completes SBCs for you, with the cards in your club and the cheapest ones on the market, without leaving EA’s Web App. You don’t need any other extension: it’s built into NokaFut.

Press a button in the challenge, it shows you several squads that meet every requirement with what each one costs, and it places the one you choose in EA’s squad. It never buys or submits anything by itself: you press the challenge’s «Submit».

Before you start

  • EA’s Web App open in Chrome, with the NokaFut extension enabled.
  • The Solver works on every plan, including the free one. Some options are PREMIUM or SUPERPREMIUM (see below).
  • It solves both kinds of FC 27 SBC: classic ones (full squad with chemistry, leagues and rating) and the new points-based ones (Streamlined), where it finds the cards that reach the required score for the least coins.
  • If you had the separate «NOK-AI SBC Solver» extension installed, you no longer need it: you can remove it.

Step 1: turn it on

  1. Open the Noka menu (bottom left) and go to the Options tab.
  2. Tick SOLVER NOK-AI (BETA).
  3. Go to SBC and open any challenge.

If it’s off, SBC may also show a notice with an Activate now button that does the same.

Step 2: where it is

Inside each challenge, on the right, at the top of the buttons (above «Autofill» or «Swap players») you’ll see the NOK-AI Solver box. The first time it takes a few seconds to show Ready: it’s loading the engine.

It has two tabs: NOK-AI Solver and FB Solutions (FUTBIN community solutions, step 7). The ⚙ wheel opens the options.

Step 3: solve

  1. Press AUTO-SOLVE with NOK-AI.
  2. The ⚙ Before searching panel opens with this search’s options (step 6). Check them: they’re saved for next time.
  3. Press ✓ Confirm and search (or «Cancel» if you want to change the squad first).

Below you’ll see what it’s doing, step by step:

What it saysWhat it’s doing
ReadyThe engine is loaded
Club read · N cardsIt has read your club (if you use your players)
Checking market pricesLooking up what the cards it could use cost
Looking for the cheapest squadTrying combinations that meet every requirement
Squad found · priceYou have the first solution
Looking for different alternativesFinding other squads so you can choose

How long it takes depends on the challenge and your computer.

Step 4: pick a solution

Each solution is a number with its price below, cheapest first. Press a number to see it. The whole squad appears below:

  • Each player’s position, name and rating.
  • The price of cards you don’t own, or Yours if it’s in your club. The padlock 🔒 means untradeable.
  • Green rows are your cards; yellow prices are cards you don’t own; rows with a purple edge on the left were already in the SBC.
  • At the bottom: how many you buy and how many come from your club, what your used cards are worth and the Total to buy.

Some solutions carry a blue 👥 Community tag: another NokaFut user found it for this challenge and, with your cards, it comes out cheaper. The first solution is always yours.

If you get few solutions (fewer than 3), a yellow notice tells you what to try: for example turning off «Use my players», or removing cards you had already placed.

Step 5: place it and submit

  1. With your solution chosen, press the green ⤵ Place button. The cards go into the challenge squad and the button changes to ✓ Placed.
  2. Check the squad: the requirements should be green.
  3. If you’re happy, press EA’s Submit. Nothing is submitted until you do.
Solution placed in the challenge squad

Cards you don’t own are placed as concepts: you need to buy them to submit. With SUPERPREMIUM, a 🛒 Buy the N missing button appears, opening NokaFut’s concept purchase with those players. It checks current prices first: if a card has gone up a lot, it tells you (and the new squad cost) so you can choose Buy anyway or Find another solution.

Cards already in the SBC are kept. If there are cards in the squad before you press «AUTO-SOLVE» (yours or from an earlier solution), the solver only fills the empty slots. Below the button you’ll see how many are kept. To solve the whole squad, turn off «Use the cards already in the SBC».

Step 6: options

They appear in the «Before searching» panel and with the box’s ⚙ wheel. They’re saved in your browser.

How to block players. To never spend certain cards in an SBC, block them with the 🛡 shield: from the card panel or in NokaClub, ticking several in a team view. NokaClub’s 🛡 Blocked tab shows them all and lets you unblock them. If you’re about to submit an SBC with a blocked card, NokaFut warns you and asks to confirm.

Options not in your plan show a star. Pressing it opens, inside the Web App, the window to upgrade to PREMIUM or SUPERPREMIUM.

Step 7: FB Solutions

The FB Solutions tab shows the squads the community has shared on FUTBIN for that challenge. Cards you own are swapped for yours.

  1. Choose how many squads you want (1 to 10) and press Find FUTBIN solutions (PREMIUM).
  2. They appear like the Solver’s: one number per squad, with price and detail. ⤵ Place puts it in the challenge.
  3. If you have a link to a specific FUTBIN squad, paste it in «Paste a Futbin squad URL here» and press Copy. Every plan can use this, including free.

Sometimes FUTBIN has few valid squads: many community ones repeat a player and EA rejects them. If so, you’re told. Always compare with the NOK-AI tab: the Solver is often cheaper because it uses your cards.

How much of this is free?

Most of it. NokaFut is free for almost everything it does, and paid features tell you inside the extension before you use them, with a link to upgrade to PREMIUM or SUPERPREMIUM. If something is paid, you know right away.

Note: NokaFut is a third-party tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Electronic Arts. Using external tools on the Web App —and especially the automations in the paid tiers— goes against EA’s terms of service and may lead to penalties on your account. The decision to use it is yours.
