FIFA 23 Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC (XP) August 10 - How to complete, estimated cost, and more

With another Thursday here, EA Sports has released this week's Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC in FIFA 23. The four tasks themed around important fixtures in the footballing world allow players to snag a new bunch of packs for quite a reasonable price. After all, FUT enthusiasts are usually on the lookout for weekly content like this.

For the last few weeks, the weekly Marquee Matchups SBC has been themed around past fixtures rather than upcoming ones due to how most footballing seasons around the world, unlike the MLS, are currently on hold due to the summer break. Nonetheless, the Throwback Marquee Matchups are suitable to introduce weekly content.

This is a short guide to completing the Throwback Marquee Matchups SBC released on August 10 to help FIFA 23 players determine whether it is worth attempting.
