The Shapeshifters Challenge 1 SBC is live in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

The highly anticipated and much sought-after TOTS promo is over, with the Shapeshifters taking its place. Unlike most of the series in the game, the Shapeshifters' cards are known to be quite different and bring upgraded cards for players with a twist. While almost all promos just give boosts to the ratings and stats, this one changes how the card plays by changing their preferred positions.

Case in point- Rudiger is considered a star defender for Real Madrid, but his special card from the promo puts him on the forward line with ST as his preferred position. With all the other cards showing similar changes, the new promo is a nice way to mix things up as FIFA 23 enters its late game.

Analysis: Is the Shapeshifter Challenge 1 SBC worth attempting?

The challenge in itself might look complicated with a long list of requirements, but it should not cost a lot of fodder to complete. However, the transfer markets for PC and consoles are quite volatile at the moment, and FIFA 23 players may have better luck if they wait a bit. Of course, the price can be further reduced using existing fodder from their squads.

As for the reward, a rare gold pack might not be a big deal for FUT enthusiasts with an end-game squad, but it still has the potential to yield some good fodder. Making the Shapeshifters Challenge 1 SBC is worth it for most FIFA 23 players, especially if they can complete it without spending more than a couple of thousand coins.
