Amidst the hype for the newly-released Serie A Team of the Season cards, EA Sports introduced the FIFA 23 Jonathan Ikone Showdown SBC. Here we will find everything related to this new Squad Building Challenge.
ACF Fiorentina performed decently in Serie A this season, finishing mid-table in eighth place. However, the Italian club shined at the UEFA Europa Conference League, where they will soon play against West Ham United in the finals. The French winger Ikone played a major role in this Fiorentina’s excellent run. EA Sports honored the player by releasing a FIFA 23 Showdown edition card.
The Showdown series is a special set of FUT cards that features players with pumped-up stats that will square off in a real-life match. Further, the matchup’s winner receives an additional +2 boost, while a draw results in both sides getting an extra +1 boost. The latest addition to this card series is the French winger.
