EA Sports has released another exciting FIFA 23 Ultimate Team challenge, the Gonzalo Montiel Showdown SBC. This challenge will reward players with a special FUT card. So let’s find out everything related to this new in-game challenge.
The Argentine full-back Montiel is having a great season, as he is only one step away from adding another silverware to his collection. He led the Spanish club Sevilla FC to the UEFA Europa League, where they will face Roma in the finals. EA Sports published the Montiel Showdown card in FIFA 23 in honor of the upcoming clash between the two prestigious clubs.
The Showdown series is a unique set of FUT cards that features players who will square off in a real-life match. These new cards give a significant boost to the players. But the winner of the real-life matchup gets a +2 boost, while a draw results in a +1 upgrade on both sides. The Argentine defender is the latest addition to this special FUT card series.
About the FIFA 23 Gonzalo Montiel Showdown
Gonzalo Montiel’s base FUT card has a 79 rating and is of Rare Gold quality. But as the newest addition to the Showdown series, Electronic Arts drastically increased the number on his FUT card. He is now rated 91 and has the following new attributes:
- Pace – 91
- Shooting – 70
- Passing – 83
- Dribbling – 86
- Defending – 87
- Physicality – 90
Montiel Showdown is a natural Right Back (RB) in FIFA 23, but fans can change it to Right Wing-back (RWB), Center Back (CB), or even Left Back (LB). Changing flanks for this card won’t be an issue thanks to the 5-Star Weak Foot. Also, this card is decent for dribbling with the 3-Star Skills.
NOTE: These stats for this Montiel Showdown card can change. If Sevilla wins UEFA Europa League, all stats on this unique item will receive a +2 boost.
How to complete this new FIFA 23 Showdown SBC?
Gonzalo Montiel Showdown SBC has two segments, and fans must finish both to get the special FUT card. They have to build a lineup of eleven players while following some challenging requirements to complete both segments of this SBC. This Squad Building Challenge is divided into the following two sections:
Argentina
- The lineup should have an Argentinian player.
- The total squad rating should be above 82.
LaLiga
- A LaLiga player should be part of the squad.
- The overall rating for this lineup should be over 85.
If fans buy all the required cards to complete this SBC from the Transfer Market, they will spend at least 75,000 FUT coins. However, they can save coins by using the ones from their personal collection. If there is a shortage of coins and cards, fans can participate in FUT matches to replenish those resources.
Fans should definitely finish this SBC to obtain the FIFA 23 Gonzalo Montiel Showdown card. This card would be a great addition to a FUT squad’s defense. This one-of-a-kind card may defend as well as dash forward for some surprise strikes.
