Now that the World Cup is over, EA is bringing back the normal Marquee Matchups squad-building challenge (SBC) to FIFA 23.

EA selects some upcoming matches as the theme for this type of SBC, added every Thursday, to reward players with tradeable FUT packs. This is a great opportunity to get several player packs.

The conditions for this type of SBC go beyond the squad rating, chemistry minimum, and a player from a specific club. Marquee Matchups are a bit more difficult, asking for silver cards, rare cards, several players from the same club, or a limited number of leagues.

The Villarreal CF vs. Valencia CF squad, for example, asks for an 70-rated team with a total of 14 chemistry points minimum, a maximum of six players from the same league, at least four players from the same club, and one player from both Villarreal and Valencia. Those who complete it will be rewarded with a premium gold pack.

Each solution offers a different reward that can range from a small prime mixed players pack to a prime electrum players pack. You’ll have until next Thursday, Jan. 5, to complete four squads: Villarreal CF vs. Valencia CF, RC Lens vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United vs. AFC Bournemouth, and Inter vs. Napoli FC

Here are all of this week’s conditions, and the rewards for each solution, to complete this Marquee Matchups SBC:
