EA Sports added 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 are weekly challenges themed around real soccer’s key matchups. EA selects some matches and creates SBCs that reward players with some tradeable FUT packs. For the Throwback version, EA selected four matchups featuring nations from international matchups that already took place. The company didn’t specify what tournament these matches are from nor when the games happened.
You’ll have until next Wednesday, June 23, to complete the four squads: Belgium vs. Japan, Croatia vs. Denmark, Uruguay vs. Portugal, and Colombia vs. England. A new set of Marquee Matchups will be added to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Each squad requires a different set of conditions to meet 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 a small rare gold players pack.
The Belgium vs. Japan SBC, for example, asks for a 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, two rare cards, a maximum of two players from the same nation, and at least one player from both Belgium and Japan. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a small prime gold player pack.
Here are all of the conditions and rewards for each segment you’ll have to do to complete the Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC:
| SBC | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Belgium vs. Japan | 75-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, two rare cards, a maximum of two players from the same nation, and at least one player from both Belgium and Japan. | Small prime gold player pack |
| Croatia vs. Denmark | 77-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, two rare cards, players from at least two different leagues, three players from the same club, and at least one player from both Croatia and Denmark. | Jumbo premium gold pack |
| Uruguay vs. Portugal | 79-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, three rare cards, a minimum of 5 different nationalities, and at least one player from both Uruguay and Portugal. | Prime electrum players pack |
| Colombia vs. England | 80-rated squad with 85 chemistry minimum, three rare cards, a maximum of five players from the same league, and at least one player from both Colombia and England. | Premium gold players pack |
EA will also grant you a mega pack as a reward for completing all four SBCs. You’ll spend around 33,000 to 43,000 FUT coins in total for every segment’s building price, even if you build all the SBCs from scratch.
