In a recent FIFA 23 leak, an upcoming Showdown Squad Building Challenge (SBC) featuring Lucas Paqueta and Jonathan Ikone has sparked immense excitement within the Ultimate Team community. FUT Sheriff, a reliable leaker on Twitter, shared this intriguing news, hinting at an epic clash in the UEFA Conference League final on Thursday, June 8. With the previous Showdown SBC for the Europa League final still available, the arrival of this new challenge has gamers eagerly anticipating what’s in store.
As FIFA 23 enthusiasts are aware, both Jonathan Ikone and Lucas Paqueta already possess special cards in the game. However, as time goes on, these cards tend to become outdated, leaving players longing for fresh and upgraded versions. The forthcoming Lucas Paqueta vs Jonathan Ikone Showdown SBC could very well provide the perfect solution for those seeking enhanced player options.
While the official stats for these cards have not yet been revealed, FUT Sheriff, known for his accurate predictions, has provided some insightful estimations regarding the overall ratings and key attributes.
Jonathan Ikone is expected to have an overall rating of 91, with exceptional pace (99), solid shooting (86), precise passing (89), exceptional dribbling (95), limited defensive capabilities (49), and decent physicality (78).
On the other hand, Lucas Paqueta’s estimated overall rating is also 91, boasting good pace (86), impressive shooting (89), precise passing (90), exceptional dribbling (93), reasonable defensive capabilities (80), and solid physicality (88).
It’s important to note that these predicted stats are not official and should be taken with a grain of salt until the release of the actual cards in FIFA 23.
Both the Lucas Paqueta and Jonathan Ikone cards will have the potential to receive two upgrades based on the final results of the UEFA Conference League final. Furthermore, the winning side’s item will receive an additional +2 boost.
Gamers can anticipate separate Showdown SBC challenges for each player’s card, allowing them the flexibility to complete both if desired. However, the exact release date of the Lucas Paqueta vs Jonathan Ikone Showdown SBC in Ultimate Team is yet to be confirmed.
The FIFA 23 community eagerly awaits the arrival of this exciting event, as it promises to inject new life into Ultimate Team squads and create intense rivalries on the virtual pitch.
