EA added today a Marquee Matchups squad-building challenge (SBC) themed around the ongoing FIFA World Cup in-game.
Marquee Matchups SBCs are released every Thursday based on real soccer’s key games and create SBCs to reward players with tradeable FUT packs. This week, EA picked some upcoming matches from the FIFA World Cup.
The challenges ask for more than the usual special player item SBC, though. The squads normally only need a certain rating, chemistry, and players from a club or league. Marquee Matchups squads, however, will also ask for silver cards, rare cards, or several players from the same club.
For example, the Belgium vs. Canada squad requires a 74-rated squad with a minimum of 22 chemistry points in total, a maximum of four players from the same nation, at least two gold cards, two rare cards, and one from Belgium and Canada. Those who complete it will be rewarded with one small prime gold players pack.
Each solution offers a different reward ranging from a small prime mixed players pack to a prime electrum players pack. You’ll have until next Thursday, Nov. 24, to complete four squads: Qatar vs. Ecuador, Uruguay vs. Korea Republic, Belgium vs. Canada, and Portugal vs. Ghana.
Here are all of this week’s conditions, and the rewards for each solution, to complete this FIFA World Cup Marquee Matchups SBC:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Qatar vs. Ecuador | 70-rated team with a total of 14 chemistry points minimum, a maximum of five different leagues, five players from the same club, and at least one player from Ecuador. | Small gold players packs |
| Uruguay vs. Korea Republic | 72-rated squad with 18 chemistry minimum, no less than two rare cards, three nationalities, and one player from both Uruguay and South Korea. | Mixed players pack |
| Belgium vs. Canada | 74-rated squad with a minimum of 22 chemistry points in total, a maximum of four players from the same nation, at least two gold cards, two rare cards, and one from Belgium and Canada. | Small prime gold players pack |
| Portugal vs. Ghana | 76-rated squad with 26 chemistry minimum, no less than two rare cards, three players from the same league, three clubs, and one from both Portugal and Ghana. | Prime electrum players pack |
You’ll spend around 18,450 to 20,650 FUT coins to build every segment together if you don’t have all the necessary cards. Those who complete all four squads will also receive a rare mixed players pack.
