The group stage of the Champions League enters the decisive phase… at least for Barcelona. The Catalans had better score in Munich to qualify for the round of 16. A real showdown, then. Showdown? It’s also available in FIFA 22 as SBC!

FC Bayern vs FC Barcelona… for some it’s about everything, for others it’s like giving away your last games in the Weekend League. What sounds like a duel on European top level is (unfortunately) more like a two-tier society this year. Well, after all the hustle and bustle around Black Friday and the new TOTGS cards, there is a new SBC! A showdown, to be exact. What it is and how to complete the SBCs, you can find out here.

Showdown SBCs Overview
To get everyone on the same level: The two Showdown cards are tied to the result from the Champions League match between Bayern and Barca. If Bayern wins, Süle gets an upgrade +2 to 90. If Barca wins (LoL), Pique goes up to 90. If the two teams draw fair & square, both center backs get a +1 upgrade. Here you have a small overview of the SBC:

As you can see, the two SBCs are not exactly cheap, but in the end they come to the same thing. Of course FC Bayern got a few more special cards in FIFA 22 than FC Barcelona because of better performances. Pique – who was unplayable before by the way with the Pace – now looks quite nice for LaLiga teams. But see for yourself:

Are the Showdown SBCs in FIFA 22 worth it?
Difficult to say, but we give a cautious “yes”. The SBC is most worthwhile if you bet on the right player and his team wins the Champions League. If you have the coins for it, you can of course do both – but then it will be quite expensive.

Showdown SBCs Cheapest Solution & Rewards
What is the cheapest way to complete the two Showdown SBCs? If we show you the cheapest solution, it means: these cards have it all! But of course, even with average cards you should know how to complete them cheapest. So let’s take a look at the teams you’ll have to give up for Süle & Pique:

FIFA Squad Building Challenges (short SBC)

The FIFA Squad Building Challenges (SBC for short) are about putting together a team according to certain specifications. They are an important part of FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and bring coins, valuable packs or special cards when fulfilled.

For the most part, you’ll have to line up eleven players that you have in your club and then send this squad off. These players will then disappear from your club. In return, you’ll receive a reward, such as a pack or a special card. As with FIFA 19, FIFA 20 and FIFA 21 we will report about the latest SBCs for FIFA 22 here and help you to judge if it is worth to complete a challenge.

START WITH THE SQUAD BUILDING CHALLENGES

In Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), you can use your player items to build unique teams based on various challenge conditions. You can then submit these to receive bonuses.

Here’s how:

• From the FIFA 22 main menu, select the FIFA Ultimate Team section.
• In the home page section, select Squad Building Challenges and call them up.
• Select the challenge you want to complete. They are grouped by category.

Create a team.

• Using items from your club or from the transfer market, build a team that meets the challenge conditions. Usually this is a mix of player quality, team chemistry, team value, nationalities, leagues and clubs.

Master the Challenge to submit your team and receive bonuses.

• All SBC submissions cannot be undone. Once you complete an SBC, the submitted items will be permanently removed from your club in exchange for bonuses. Our consultants cannot restore submitted items.
• For some SBCs, you will only have a limited amount of time to complete them. Once a challenge has expired, you will no longer be able to submit a team.

More details about SBCs

1. Some SBCs consist of multiple challenges with individual bonuses and a larger overall completion bonus. Other challenges are single challenges.
2. Some SBCs are repeatable. You have a chance to get different bonuses for each team submission, but you might also get the same bonus.
3. SBCs are available in all FIFA 22 versions, but they can vary depending on the platform. Bonuses can also vary from platform to platform.
