After Argentina’s loss against Saudi Arabia this week, EA released an 87-rated Flashback version of Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. This special card is available through a themed squad-building challenge.
Flashback versions highlight a specific moment in the featured player’s career and following the start of the World Cup, EA honored Messi’s debut in the FIFA World Cup of 2006, when Argentina won against the Ivory Coast.
This Flashback version is Messi’s lowest-rated card so far. He also has a 92-rated Player of the Month (POTM) and a 94-rated Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) version. Most of his skills decreased compared to his original 91-rated gold version.
The devs only increased his Pace (+9) and Defending (+1), while lowering his Shooting (-8), Passing (-4), Dribbling (-2), and Physical (-1) for this Flashback card.
This SBC requests four different squads: PSG, Argentina, Top Form, and Ligue 1. Here are all the conditions and the respective rewards for each segment:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| PSG | 84-rated squad with at least one player from Paris Saint-Germain. | Small gold players pack |
| Argentina | 85-rated squad plus no less than one player from Argentina. | Small prime gold players pack |
| Top Form | 87-rated team with at least one TOTW (Inform) card. | Rare mixed players pack |
| Ligue 1 | 87-rated squad and a minimum of one player from Ligue 1. | Rare electrum players pack |
Building these squads from scratch will cost you from around 323,400 to 340,900 FUT coins. Since you have until Dec. 2 to turn in the solutions, you can craft some cards and save some FUT coins.
