Analysis: Is the UEFA Marquee Matchups SBC worth it?

Marquee Matchups are normally very well appreciated by FUT enthusiasts as they not only provide a sense of connection to real-life football matches but also a steady and reliable stream of weekly content to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Each individual task has rewards, but those looking to maximize their gains should definitely attempt both to avail the group reward.

For completing the entire UEFA Marquee Matchups SBC this week, players will need fodder that costs about 15K FUT Coins and will get an additional Rare Electrum Players Pack as a reward. Quite a nice deal considering the TOTS promo is active in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

Meaning a lot of overpowered cards are up for grabs that can be packed from one of these reward packs, making the SBC well worth it.
