EA Sports added a new 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 next Thursday, Sept. 2 to complete four squads: KAA Gent vs. Club Brugge, Rangers vs. Celtic, VfL Wolfsburg vs. RB Leipzig, and Atlético Madrid vs. Villarreal CF. A new set of Marquee Matchups will then 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 premium electrum players pack to jumbo premium gold players pack.
The KAA Gent vs. Club Brugge squad, for example, asks for a 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least four players from the same nation, five different clubs, and one player from 1A Pro League. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a premium electrum players 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 |
|---|---|---|
| KAA Gent vs Club Brugge | 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least four players from the same nation, five different clubs, and one player from 1A Pro League. | Premium electrum players pack |
| Rangers vs Celtic | 77-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, two rare cards, at least five players from the same league, a maximum of four nationalities, and at least one player from both Rangers and Celtic. | Jumbo premium gold pack |
| VfL Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig | 79-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, two rare cards, at least six different nationalities, and at least one player from both VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig. | Prime mixed players pack |
| Atlético Madrid vs Villarreal CF | 80-rated squad with 85 chemistry minimum, three rare cards, at least four players from the same club, three players from LaLiga, and one player from both Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal. | Rare mixed players pack |
EA will also grant you a rare player pack as a reward for completing all four SBCs. You’ll spend around 81,000 to 87,000 FUT coins in total for every segment, even if you build all the SBCs from scratch.
