Shortly before the TOTY (have you voted already?) there is a new Showdown SBC in FIFA 22. This time around it's Luis Muriel vs Matteo Darmian... or Inter Milan vs Atalanta Bergamo. How expensive is the SBC, how generous is EA with the rewards and is the challenge also worthwhile for people who are not Serie A fans? Let's check it out!

Showdown SBC Summary

If you want to treat yourself to cards from Showdown SBCs, you always have to act quickly. Unlike with the Icon Upgrade SBCs, for example, these challenges are not in the game for several months. Luis Muriel and Matteo Darmian will be available until January 16, 2022. Here, a short overview of the two new Special Cards in FUT... just for you:

	Muriel	Darmian
Position	ST	RWB
Nation	Colombia	Italy
League	Serie A	Serie A
Club	Atalanta BC	Inter
OVR	87	87
Price	140K-150K	140K-150K
Pace	92	91
Shooting	87	63
Passing	81	80
Dribbling	91	82
Defending	32	86
Physicality	77	84

Both of them got a decent upgrade from EA, as is the case in most of the events in FIFA 22. Luis Muriel, however, we like a bit better - his card was already in many budget teams at the start of FIFA and also his new card looks more than solid. But check out the stats yourself.

Is the Showdown SBC in FIFA 22 worth it?

Yes and no... both cards are really not that bad at all and will only get better with an upgrade. But c'mon, we are close to the TOTY and you don't have to spend 140K-150K coins unnecessarily. Therefore: If you can afford it and want one of the two, you can do the challenge without a guilty conscience.
