Tips and Analysis

While each of the SBCs has two tasks, the individual Squad Building Challenges are fairly simple. The number of restrictions per task is small, and there are no pesky chemistry requirements either, making it accessible even for casual FIFA 23 players.

If the squads are built from scratch, the estimated cost to complete the Brenden Aaronson challenge is around 53,000 FUT coins. On the other hand, the Steven Bergwijn challenge will require about 52,000 FUT coins across all available platforms.

While players will get some gold packs from completing each task, it is recommended that they finish each group to get their hands on the boosted showdown cards to maximize gains.

The Brenden Aaronson Showdown card in FIFA 23 has some significant upgrades from the base card, with a good +12 on his overall stats. His pace (93), passing (82), shooting (80), and dribbling (90) have also received significant upgrades, meaning the 86-rated CAM card is quite viable, also because of his Premier League link.

The Steven Bergwijn Showdown card in FIFA 23 has also gotten some boosts. It has a one-point advantage over his Ones To Watch card with an 86 rating. Like his American opponent, he also boasts high pace stats (92) and good dribbling (89). The Dutchman is also marginally better at shooting (85) and has an identical passing stat (82).
