Showdown Otavio and Malcom are now available via SBCs in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team

Black Friday celebrations have introduced a host of special cards in EA FC 24, with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar currently having boosted versions in packs at the moment. However, gamers often face challenges while trying to accommodate them in their squads. This problem has now been solved with the addition of Showdown Otavio and Malcom.

Otavio is a fellow Portuguese athlete playing alongside Ronaldo at Al Nassr, while Malcom is a fellow Brazilian playing alongside Neymar at Al Hilal. This will make these SBCs even more popular with gamers, as chemistry can be the key to securing more wins.

The Portuguese attacking midfielder possesses an 86-rated version that can be unlocked by submitting a single squad with the following restrictions:

  • Players from Portugal: Minimum one in your starting lineup
  • Team of the Week player: Minimum one in your starting lineup
  • Team overall rating: Minimum 84
  • Number of players in the squad: 11

The overall expected cost of the SBC is around 60,000 coins, which is primarily due to the inflated price of Team of the Week items in the current state of the transfer market. However, this could possibly be worth the investment, as the card can receive a +2 to its overall rating if Al Nassr win the match and +1 if they draw.

Similar to the previous SBC, this card can be unlocked with a single squad. These are the specific stipulations mentioned in its requirements:

  • Number of players from Brazil: Minimum one in your starting lineup
  • Team overall rating: Minimum 85

This SBC is also estimated to cost around 60,000 coins. While it does not require an in-form item, the rating threshold is higher. When comparing the base versions of these two players, Malcom is certainly better at first glance. However, Otavio could become the superior item in the future, depending on the result of their fixture.
