The latest Alexander Sorloth vs Manuel Locatelli Showdown SBC has arrived in FC 26 Ultimate Team, giving players two competitive 85-rated items tied to the upcoming Norway vs Italy international match. Since both players can receive a +2 overall upgrade based on the real-world result, this SBC set offers excellent value for anyone looking to strengthen their squad.
Showdown SBCs pit two players from an upcoming real-world match against each other. After the match:
- Winner receives +2 OVR
- A draw gives +1 OVR to both players
- Loser remains unchanged
Since both Sorloth and Locatelli already have strong base stats and useful PlayStyles, completing either task is worthwhile. With the costs sitting in the budget range for early/mid-cycle Ultimate Team, completing both SBCs is an especially safe way to guarantee at least one boosted card.
