SBC and card analysis: Is the Morgan Gibbs-White Showdown card worth it?
The individual tasks required to complete the Squad Building Challenge may not be very complicated with minimal requirements, but the cost of fodder required is significant. At current market rates, the cost of fodder required to complete the whole SBC is somewhere around 210,000 FUT Coins, which is not a value to scoff at.
That said, the challenges themselves are fairly simple with no chemistry requirements, giving FIFA 23 players the choice to use a wide variety of cards to complete them. The high squad rating requirements for each task are the reason for the price.
As for the card, here is how the Showdown Morgan Gibbs-White card looks stat-wise before the final upgrade. The card has received substantial upgrades from the base gold card and the individual increase in stat ratings is noted in the parentheses.
- Overall: 88 (+13)
- Position: CAM (Alt - RM, ST)
- Pace: 88 (+12)
- Shooting: 83 (+13)
- Passing: 86 (+13)
- Dribbling: 89 (+13)
- Defense: 75 (+18)
- Physicality: 80 (+14)
- Skills: 4 Star
- Weak foot: 4 Star
The 88-rated CAM card is not a bad addition to any FIFA 23 squad per se, especially for those seeking an English link to boost chemistry. However, players should take into account the high cost of the Showdown SBC before and only attempt it if they have substantial fodder to mitigate the price to make the challenge worth it.
