FIFA 23 Antonio Sanabria Showdown SBC could be a perfect option for Serie A fans

How to complete SBC

The Derby della Mole has been chosen by EA Sports as the setting for this second Showdown Series challenge. The only task in the Antonio Showdown SBC comes with a few requirements. To unlock the special card, you must meet all of them.

Task 1 - Antonio Sanabria

• # of players from Serie A TIM: Min 1
• IF Players: Min 1
• Squad Rating: Min 84

• # of players in the Squad: 11

If you get all the fodder directly from FIFA 23's market, the Antonio Sanabria Showdown SBC will cost roughly 49,000 FUT coins. Using fodder from your own collection in Ultimate Team, however, can significantly lower that amount.

Due to the Antonio Sanabria Showdown SBC's limited availability (through February 28), gamers won't be able to use weekly rewards in it. If they run out of fodder, they can open stored packs. They can also use the items from the packs they received for successfully completing certain individual challenges.

Antonio Sanabria Showdown SBC rewards in FIFA 23

FIFA 23 players will obtain a boosted card of Torino FC's Paraguayan striker after completing the Antonio Sanabria Showdown SBC.

• Overall: 87
• Position: ST
• Pace: 88
• Shooting: 89
• Passing: 80
• Dribbling: 87
• Defense: 40
• Physicality: 80

As an added bonus, the special FIFA 23 Showdown version has four-star Skills and a four-star Weak Foot. It's important to remember that if Torino defeats Juventus in the upcoming derby on Wednesday, March 1, the card could possibly get up to two upgrades.

The Paraguayan player will receive an upgrade if the match ends in a draw as well, providing high returns on FIFA 23 players' investments. The numbers on the special item are already quite good. It's an okay-ish deal, though, as Juventus are the clear favorites to win the game.
