If you looked at the FUT calendar a few weeks ago, nobody really expected a showdown series. Normally EA Sports only releases these SBCs sporadically and does not give us a full event.
Still, showdown SBCs in FIFA are always a pretty nice thing. Just like some other events in FUT, they are linked to real-life match results. Short recap, if you’re living under the moon: In case of a win, the player gets a +2 upgrade, in case of a tie, both cards are upgraded by +1. Easy. So let’s take a look at the best FUT Showdown Maps in FIFA 22!
The best FUT showdown maps in FIFA 22
EA Sports has been delivering at least one SBC a day since the event started – that’s a lot. We particularly like the fact that a few other players also get strong special cards. We’ve already seen enough of meta cards like Raphaël Varane, Kylian Mbappé or Presnel Kimpembe.
Martin Braithwaite (FC Barcelona) and Marcelo Brozovic ( Inter Milan) are also interesting : Neither of them had a special card in FIFA 22 before and both can look forward to a +2 upgrade. Braithwaite in particular should be really strong with his new rating – 95 pace, 92 shooting, 93 dribbling, plus 4* skills and 4* weak foot. Wow. It’s really really nice that thanks to the showdown event you can play such cards really well in the Weekend League.
Martin Braithwaite would definitely be FUT Showdown’s best player if it wasn’t for someone else…
Wout Weghorst is the best FUT Showdown player
Yes, you read that right: Wout Weghorst is the best FUT Showdown player in FIFA 22. Who would have thought that a 1.97 meter tall footballer would one day dominate the meta in Ultimate Team like Wout Weghorst? The ex-Wolfsburger can do everything, just take a look at his in-game stats:
92 pace, 91 shooting, 90 dribblings, and a mere 93 physicality… the whole thing in combination with 4* skills and 4* weak foot, just wow. This is just his basic version by the way… Burnley FC won their match against Everton FC 3-2, which logically means a +2 upgrade for Weghorst. Do you want to see what his card looks like then? Well, here ya’ go… this tweet actually sums it up pretty well.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
