EA Sports added a 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 tradeable FUT packs. This SBC is themed around this week’s key matchups.
You’ll have until Thursday, Sept. 16 to complete four squads: AZ Alkmaar vs. PSV, Sporting CP vs. FC Porto, AS Monaco vs. OM, and Napoli vs. Piemonte Calcio. 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 gold players pack to small prime gold players pack.
FC Twente vs. Ajax SBC, for example, asks for a 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least three players from the same club, five different nationalities, and one player from Eredivisie. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a jumbo premium gold 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 |
|---|---|---|
| AZ Alkmaar vs PSV | 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least two players from the same club, a maximum of four leagues, and two player from Eredivisie. | Gold players pack |
| Sporting CP vs FC Porto | 77-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one rare card, at least two players from the same nation, a maximum of three players from the same club, and at least one player from both Sporting CP and Porto. | Jumbo premium gold pack |
