EA added a 96-rated Showdown version of Julián Álvarez from Manchester City to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team on Sept. 7. This card is available for players by completing a themed squad-building challenge (SBC) in-game.

Showdown SBCs offer two players who will face each other in real life. Manchester City will play against Tottenham Hotspur, so Ivan Perišić also received a Showdown version along with Álvarez. The player from the winning club will get a +2 overall in-game upgrade on top of this boosted version.

The devs increased Álvarez’s Shooting (+23), Physical (+23), Passing (+23), Dribbling (+21), Defending (+15), and Defending (+13) from his original 75-rated gold card for this Showdown version.

If you use this card on your team, you can apply the marksman chemistry style to further increase his Physical (+5), Dribbling (+3), and Shooting (+2). This will maximize his Ball Control, Finishing, Long Shots, Penalties, and Dribbling stats.
