EA Sports added a set of Marquee Matchups to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team today that you can complete by accessing the squad-building challenge (SBC) menu.
The Marquee Matchups are weekly challenges themed around real soccer’s key matchups. EA selects some matches and creates SBCs that reward players with some tradeable FUT packs. This SBC is themed around this week’s key matchups.
You’ll have until Thursday, Aug. 26 to complete four squads: FC Twente vs. Ajax, Roma FC vs. Fiorentina, Athletic Club vs. Barcelona, and Arsenal vs. Chelsea. A new set of Marquee Matchups will be added to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Each squad requires a different set of conditions to be met aside from the commonly known minimum rating and chemistry, like asking for some players from a specific league or club. Each solution offers a different reward as well, ranging from a gold players pack to small prime gold players pack.
FC Twente vs. Ajax SBC, for example, asks for a 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least three players from the same club, five different nationalities, and one player from Eredivisie. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a jumbo premium gold pack.
Here are all of the conditions and rewards for each segment you’ll have to do to complete this Marquee Matchups SBC.
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| FC Twente vs Ajax | 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least three players from the same club, five different nationalities, and one player from Eredivisie | Jumbo premium gold pack |
| Roma FC vs Fiorentina | 77-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least four players from the same nation, a maximum of three leagues, and at least one player from both Roma and Fiorentina. | Prime electrum players pack |
| Athletic Club vs Barcelona | 79-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, two rare cards, a maximum of three players from the same nation, at least four different clubs, and at least one player from both Athletic Club and Barcelona. | Rare mixed players pack |
| Arsenal vs Chelsea | 80-rated squad with 85 chemistry minimum, three rare cards, a maximum of three different leagues, and at least one player from both Arsenal and Chelsea. | Premium gold players pack |
EA will also grant you a rare player pack as a reward for completing all four SBCs. You’ll spend around 66,000 to 92,000 FUT coins in total for every segment’s building price, even if you build all the SBCs from scratch.
