How to complete Dec. 16’s Marquee Matchups in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team

This is a great way to get FUT packs.

EA Sports added a new set of Marquee Matchups to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team today that you can complete by accessing the squad-building challenge (SBC) menu.

The Marquee Matchups are weekly challenges based on real soccer’s key games. EA selects some of those matches and creates SBCs to reward players with several tradeable FUT packs.

This type of SBC is different from the special player items. Each squad requires a different set of conditions to be met aside from the commonly known minimum rating and chemistry. An example is asking for some players from a specific league or club.

Each solution offers a different reward as well, ranging from a small prime mixed players pack to a prime electrum players pack. You’ll have until next Thursday, Dec. 23 to complete four squads: Olympiacos vs. Panathinaikos, Ajax vs. PSV, Bayern München vs. Dortmund, and Liverpool vs. Manchester United.

The Bayern München vs. Dortmund squad, for example, has a series of conditions. You’ll need to turn in a 74-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, at least two rare cards, a maximum of three players from the same nation, a minimum of five players from the same nationality, and at least two players from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a small rare mixed players pack.

Here are all of this week’s conditions and rewards for each solution you’ll have to do to complete this Marquee Matchups SBC.
