Players can stock up on fodder with the new Marquee Matchups squad-building challenge (SBC) that was added today to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
The Marquee Matchups are weekly challenges based on real soccer’s key games. EA selects some matches and creates SBCs to reward players with tradeable FUT packs. The segments ask for different types of conditions that go beyond the squad rating and a player from a specific club.
The squads are a bit more difficult to build since you’ll have to use silver cards, rare cards, several players from the same club, or a limited number of leagues.
Each solution offers a different reward that can range from a small prime mixed players pack to a prime electrum players pack. You’ll have until next Thursday, March 16, to complete four squads before they get replaced for the next set of Marquee Matchups SBC.
This one requires players to build teams based on the Club Brugge vs. Standard Liège, Werder Bremen vs. Bayer Leverkusen, Athletic Club vs. Barcelona, and Fulham vs. Arsenal matches.
The Athletic Club vs. Barcelona squad, for example, asks for a 77-rated squad with a minimum of 22 chemistry points in total, a max of five players from the same club, no less than three players from the same nation, three leagues, plus one player from both Athletic Club and Barcelona. The reward for this segment is a jumbo premium gold pack.
Here are all of this week’s conditions, and the rewards for each solution, to complete this Marquee Matchups SBC:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Club Brugge vs. Standard Liège | 73-rated team with a total of 14 chemistry points minimum, a maximum of five players from the same league, at least two different nationalities, and one player from Belgium. | Electrum players pack |
| Werder Bremen vs. Bayer Leverkusen | 75-rated squad with 18 chemistry minimum, no more than five leagues, at least two players from the same club, and two players from the Bundesliga. | Premium mixed players pack |
| Athletic Club vs. Barcelona | 77-rated squad with a minimum of 22 chemistry points in total, a max of five players from the same club, no less than three players from the same nation, three leagues, plus one player from both Athletic Club and Barcelona. | Jumbo premium gold pack |
| Fulham vs. Arsenal | 79-rated squad with 26 chemistry minimum, at least one rare card, four players from the same league, and one player from both Fulham and Arsenal. | Prime electrum players pack |
The total for these four squads can get to around 28,800 to 29,100 FUT coins across the available platforms. If you turn in all the segments, you’ll also receive a rare electrum players pack as a bonus.
