The overall expected cost required to unlock Locatelli is around 18,000 coins, while Sorloth costs around 24,000 coins. Both these items are definitely worth unlocking at this price even without the Showdown boost, as they possess impressive stats and PlayStyles for their respective roles. The additional +2 boost to the player from the winning team will make the deal even better.
