September Spotlight Drop 2 ends at 50 program points with a 99 OVR Adael Amador. The program has seven standard four-point moments, two PXP missions worth 15 points each, optional card lock-ins, and an optional Extreme moment.
Quick answer: Three standard moments unlock an eligible 97 OVR Leonardo Bernal. Finish all seven standard moments, then earn 5,000 PXP with Spotlight or Topps Now cards for 58 points, enough for Amador without locking cards into either optional collection.

No SellNo SellHow do you reach 50 points without lock-ins?
Start with three standard moments. Each is worth four points, so that gives you 12 and unlocks Bernal at the 10-point reward stop. Bernal is a Topps Now card, which makes him eligible for the program's 1,000-PXP Spotlight and Topps Now mission.
The clean no-lock-in route is all seven standard moments plus PXP with Spotlight or Topps Now cards. The point math is below.
| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Seven standard moments, 7 x 4 | 28 | 28 |
| 1,000 PXP with Spotlight or Topps Now cards | 15 | 43 |
| 5,000 PXP with any players | 15 | 58 |
If the same eligible cards earn all 5,000 PXP, the first 1,000 PXP counts toward both missions. That produces 58 points, eight more than Amador's requirement. This is a points route, not a claim about how long it takes.

What can you skip?
You do not need either optional pack collection for the no-lock-in route. Those tasks award 35 points for collecting the two September Spotlight pack players and 15 points for collecting the three Topps Now pack players. The program warns that collected player items cannot be sold, so treat those as a separate collection decision rather than a required step toward Amador.
The program also lists an optional Extreme moment worth 30 points. It can change your point mix, but the standard-moments-plus-PXP route above reaches the final reward without it.
What should you do first?
Finish three standard moments first to claim Bernal. Then decide whether to keep running his Topps Now card, Volpe, other eligible Spotlight cards, or a mix while building PXP. Once the two PXP missions and seven standard moments are complete, you are at 58 points and can claim Amador without locking any pack cards.
