EA Sports introduced a new set of Throwback Marquee Matchups to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team today that you can complete by accessing the squad-building challenge (SBC) menu.
The Marquee Matchups usually are weekly challenges themed around real soccer’s key matchups. EA selects some of the most exciting soccer matches and creates SBCs that reward players with some tradeable FUT packs. For the Throwback version, EA normally selects four matchups that already took place. EA doesn’t specify what tournament these matches are from or when the games happened.
This week’s Throwback Marquee Matchups are Guangzhou Evergrande vs. Guangzhou R&F, Napoli vs. Internazionale, Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester United vs. Manchester City. After this set expires in a week, a new set of matchups will be added to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Each squad requires a different set of conditions such as rating, chemistry, and types of cards, like asking for some players from a specific league or club. Usually, the most expensive segment will offer the most expensive reward.
The Manchester derby segment is the most expensive one as it requires an 81-rated squad with some conditions. It’ll reward you with a premium gold players pack. Once you complete all four segments, you’ll receive a jumbo premium gold players pack as your final reward.
Here are all of the conditions and rewards for each of the segments you’ll have to do to complete the Aug. 5 Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Guangzhou Evergrande vs. Guangzhou R&F | 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, a minimum of three rare cards, a maximum of three players from the same club, and at least one player from the CSL. | Small prime gold players pack |
| Napoli vs. Inter | 77-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, at least two rare cards, a maximum of five players from the same league, at least three clubs, and one player from either Napoli or Inter. | Prime mixed players pack |
| Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. Borussia Dortmund | 79-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, at least three rare cards, players from at least three different nationalities, a minimum of three players from the same club, and at least two cards from Borussia Mönchengladbach or Borussia Dortmund. | Prime electrum players pack |

You’ll spend around 65,000 FUT coins in total for completing all four segments, even if you build all the SBCs from scratch. This set of Throwback Marquee Matchups will be available until next Thursday, Aug. 12 at 12pm CT.
