As suggested by FUT Sheriff on Twitter, the game will be featured as a Showdown SBC in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, with Mattia Zaccagni and Eljif Elmas being included as Showdown versions.


What do these cards look like in FIFA 23?

While the exact overall ratings and attributes of the leaked cards are unknown, FUT Sheriff included a prediction that suggests that these 87-rated players will possess the following stats:

Eljif Elmas (Napoli)

  • Pace: 86
  • Dribbling: 90
  • Shooting: 84
  • Defending: 78
  • Passing: 86
  • Physicality: 78

Mattia Zaccagni (Lazio)

  • Pace: 91
  • Dribbling: 90
  • Shooting: 85
  • Defending: 64
  • Passing: 84
  • Physicality: 72

If the official cards are anywhere close to these predictions, they will be extremely overpowered in their respective positions.


How will these cards perform in-game?

Both cards will occupy different positions and roles on the virtual pitch of FIFA 23, and possess the stats to be extremely viable in the current meta of the game. However, the most appealing aspect of Showdown cards is the potential for future upgrades, with the item from the winning team receiving a +2 overall boost.

With Napoli being in sublime form, gamers will probably hedge their bets on the league leaders and unlock Elmas, who also provides chemistry links to cards like Player of the Month Osimhen and Future Stars Kvaratskhelia. However, Zaccagni is no slouch either, and will prove to be an extremely meta attacker if Lazio pulls off an upset.
