SBC Analysis

Ideally, players should not complete either task for individual rewards and maximize their gains by completing the entire group. Only completing both tasks will yield the Mattia Zaccagni Showdown card. At the current fodder prices, it will take cards worth around 75K to complete the SBC.

FIFA 23 players can obviously mitigate the price to a great extent by using pre-existing fodder, and FUT enthusiasts should have an easy time with many repeatable challenges active. The challenge's stipulations are fairly simple and require no chemistry requirements despite the relatively high price tag, allowing greater freedom while choosing fodder.

That said, Napoli are on a five-game winning streak and stand way above Lazio or Latium in the league, making it quite probable that the Zaccagni card will not be getting more upgrades. So FIFA 23 players who want to add his unique card to their roster should have enough fodder to reduce the price of the SBC by a fair amount.

How does the Mattia Zaccagni Showdown card look in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team?

The Italian left-winger for Lazio/Latium has already received a nine-point upgrade to his base card, making him quite a strong player in any FUT squad. Here are all the stats of his Showdown Card:

Overall: 87
Position: LW (Alt - LM)
Pace: 90
Shooting: 82
Passing: 83
Dribbling: 91
Defense: 65
Physicality: 73
Skills: 4 Star
Weak foot: 4 star

As mentioned before, the 87-rated Mattio Zaccagni Showdown card is already quite a good addition to any frontline, and that too before any potential upgrades.

The increased pace and dribbling skills give him quite the edge, but since Napoli are the favorites to win the game, players should note that his card may not be getting the upgrades as his counterpart Eljif Elmas.
