Marcel Sabitzer will receive a Fantasy FUT SBC card in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

While he is not a regular starting fixture in Manchester United's lineup, he is still a valuable asset for the club and has made several appearances as a substitute. With the club being in decent form, his SBC version could potentially receive significant upgrades over time, boosting his viability even further.


What does the card look like?

While the exact overall rating and attributes of Sabitzer's card are unknown, FUT Sheriff included a prediction that suggests that the 88-rated Fantasy FUT version will possess the following key stats:

  • Pace: 80
  • Dribbling: 86
  • Shooting: 86
  • Defending: 72
  • Passing: 85
  • Physicality: 81

This is an incredible upgrade over his base card in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and will be Sabitzer's first special variant this season. If the Red Devils perform well in the league, it has the potential to be boosted even further. This will elevate him to the status of a top-tier midfielder in the current meta of the game.


How will the card perform in-game?

Marcel Sabitzer is known for being an incredibly versatile box-to-box midfielder in real-life, and his in-game depiction does justice to his abilities.

He has the pace, dribbling, shooting, and passing stats to be effective going forward during offensive plays, especially in formations like the 4321 and 41212-narrow. While his defensive attributes are not extremely impressive, his domineering physical presence and high defensive workrate allows him to track back efficiently and dispossess the opposition's attackers with ease.

Players will be hoping that EA Sports boosts either his skill moves or weak-foot to make him even more viable on the virtual pitch. Based on the price of the SBC, this could be an extremely popular squad-building option in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
