EA Sports added a Showdown 90-rated version of Luuk de Jong from Sevilla City to FIFA 21 today. It’s obtainable through FIFA 21 Ultimate Team’s squad-building challenges (SBC) menu.
EA also added an 89-rated version of Rodrygo de Goes from Real Madrid. These players will play against each other on the pitch on May 9 and the winner will receive a +2 overall in-game upgrade.
EA has mainly increased de Jong’s Pace (+36), but still greatly upgraded the rest of his skills, including Dribbling (+19), Passing (+16), Shooting (+14), Physical (+12), and Defending (+10), when you compare the Showdown version to his 80-rated gold card.
Showdown de Jong is a great card when you look at his stats and the possibility of the upgrade. You can apply the engine chemistry style to further increase his Passing (+6), Pace (+5), and Dribbling (+5), which are related to his striker position, and elevate his quality.
This SBC costs around 117,350 FUT coins on PS4 and 115,900 FUT coins on Xbox One, but it’s a bit more expensive on PC (149,850 FUT coins). The card is considerably less expensive than Rodrygo even though it has a higher rating, but still the price is worth it depending on your playstyle. His skills are incredible and will be even better if he receives the +2 upgrade after the match.
If you want to complete the Showdown de Jong SBC, you’ll have to turn in two squads: Sevilla and La Liga. The first solution requires an 84-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum and at least one player from Sevilla. The second one asks for an 85-rated squad with 70 chemistry minimum, one Inform card, and at least one player from LaLiga.
