FIFA 23 Marquee Matchups SBC (September 14) - How to complete, estimated costs, and more

EA has released a new Marquee Matchups SBC in FIFA 23, making it one of the final iterations of this challenge. This title is nearing its end, with EA FC 24 set for launch next week. The recurring Squad Building Challenge is usually quite useful for FUT players looking to snag some good packs without spending much. However, with this football season and FIFA 23 coming to an end soon, lower-value SBCs such as this may be overlooked by a majority of FIFA 23 players.

Marquee Matchups is among the few weekly recurring inclusions that offer a steady stream of content for Ultimate Team enthusiasts. On top of bringing fresh challenges every Thursday, the SBC is also themed around football matches from around the world, giving players a sense of connection to their favorite teams.

This article is a short guide to completing FIFA 23's latest challenge efficiently and lists all its requirements and fodder costs to help you determine whether it is worth completing.

Analysis: Is the Marquee Matchups SBC worth it?

FIFA 23 players looking to attempt the Marquee Matchups SBC are recommended to finish it in its entirety. The current fodder estimation for completing all four tasks is around 20K, and those who accomplish all of them by next week will get the group reward: Rare Players Pack.

That said, with FIFA 23 Ultimate Team technically in its last week before EA FC 24 releases in early access on September 22, many might not find this challenge's rewards enticing enough. However, those who are still looking to exchange fodder can reliably complete the Marquee Matchups SBC.
