FIFA 23 Marquee Matchups SBC (September 7) - How to complete, estimated costs, and more

This week's Marquee Matchups SBC is live in FIFA 23, with players getting yet another Squad Building Challenge themed around some of the biggest upcoming matches this week. With EA FC 24 coming out in a few weeks, the focus has been shifting to the upcoming game, but FUT enthusiasts will still appreciate the weekly content drop.

The Marquee Matchups SBC is one of the few pieces of recurring content in FIFA games that not only acts as a fresh supply of fodder but also as a link to real-life football due to it being themed directly around the big matchups. Thus, completing them not only helps players get their hands on some cheap packs but also allows them to connect with their favorite teams.

To that end, this article is a short guide to completing this week's challenges with a helpful list of the requirements, together with the estimated cost of fodder needed to get it done within the next seven days.

Is the Marquee Matchups SBC worth doing in FIFA 23?

FIFA 23 players are recommended to complete all of the Marquee Matchups tasks listed above to maximize their gains, as finishing all the tasks within the week will yield a group reward, which is a Jumbo Premium Gold Players Pack. For the combined cost of around 20K FUT coins, that is not a bad deal.

However, with the recent FUTTIES promo, a number of high-valued dedicated Squad Building Challenges are currently live in FIFA 23 in addition to a few challenges and objectives in the pre-season promo for EA FC 24, and some players might be better off completing those if they have the fodder to.
