The Showdown Series event depicts real-life matches on the virtual pitch of FIFA 23, with the card from the winning team receiving exciting upgrades.

Kolasinac and Carlos Soler featured in the latest Showdown SBC of FIFA 23 Ultimate Team
Reigning Ligue 1 champions PSG have been rather inconsistent lately, and Marseille will be looking to capitalize on this during their league fixture this weekend. Marseille are currently second in the league table, just five points away from leaders PSG. A victory for the former side will help them reduce the gap, while for the latter, it will help them fortify their position as the leaders.
Carlos Soler and Sead Kolasinac are regular starting players for their respective sides. Both superstar footballers have received enticing Showdown cards that can be unlocked via an SBC in FIFA 23, with the winning card receiving a +2 upgrade. In the event of a draw, both cards will receive a +1 boost.
How to complete the SBC?
Both SBCs consist of a single squad featuring the following stipulations:
Sead Kolasinac
- Ligue 1 Uber Eats players: Minimum one
- Team of the Week players: Minimum one
- Team overall rating: Minimum 85
- Number of players in the squad: 11
Carlos Soler
- Ligue 1 Uber Eats players: Minimum one
- 88 and higher OVR players: Minimum one

- Number of players in the squad: 11
The expected cost of the former is around 78,000 FUT coins, while the latter costs over 180,000 coins. This discrepancy in the overall price is due to the cost of high-rated fodder cards in the FIFA 23 transfer market.
What do the cards look like in-game?
Both cards have received impressive initial boosts, with the potential of getting further upgrades depending on the game's result between PSG and Marseille. Both cards are 87-rated and possess the following key attributes:

Similarly, Kolasinac can play as a left-back and center-back, allowing gamers to experiment with their FUT squads.
