FC 27 Marquee Matchups SBC guide: solutions and rewards for Sept. 24

A new Marquee Matchups SBC set went live in FC 27 on Sept. 24, and this one is worth your fodder. Completing all four tasks returns five tradeable packs, headlined by a Large Gold Players Pack that can be a squad-changer early in the game's cycle. Here's how to finish the set for the fewest coins.

Why This Set Matters

Marquee Matchups SBCs are Squad Building Challenges themed around real-world fixtures, and they typically run for a limited window before each round of matches. The appeal here isn't just nostalgia for international rivalries — it's the reward stack. All five packs are tradeable, meaning anything you pull can be sold for coins if you'd rather not keep it.

The standout is the Large Gold Players Pack: 12 gold players with two guaranteed to be rated 82 or higher. Early in a game cycle, that pack carries a high chance of producing a walkout, which is why many players treat this SBC set as a must-complete.

The Four Tasks at a Glance

The set follows the standard Marquee Matchups format — four separate squad-building tasks, each tied to an upcoming fixture, with escalating chemistry requirements:

• Italy vs. Belgium — at least 1 player from either nation, 3 clubs minimum, 3 silver players minimum, bronze quality minimum, 14 chemistry
• Norway vs. Portugal — at least 1 player from either nation, 3 players from the same club, max 5 leagues, 2 gold players minimum, silver quality minimum, 18 chemistry
• Netherlands vs. Germany — at least 2 players from either nation, max 2 from one club, 4 from the same league, 2 gold players minimum, silver quality minimum, 22 chemistry
• England vs. Spain — at least 2 players from either nation, 4 from the same nation, max 3 from one club, max 5 leagues, 75 team rating, 26 chemistry

The chemistry demands climb from 14 to 26, so the final two tasks are where most of your coin cost will land.

Cheapest Solutions for Each SBC

If your club doesn't have the right fodder, these lineups satisfy every requirement:

Italy vs. Belgium
Dietz ST 63; Crockford 53; Coskun LM 67; Amann CDM 62; Fuseini 69; Forde RM 63; Drameh LB 69; Ronco CB 64; Turton CB 63; James RB 63; Rogerson GK 50

Norway vs. Portugal
Ramos ST 80; Raul Sanchez 68; Drameh RM 69; Duncan CDM 72; Perez CAM 69; Mitaj LM 69; Correia LB 74; Sverko CB 70; Fernandez CB 69; Echegini 80; Fuseini 69

Netherlands vs. Germany
Garro ST 66; Niemiec ST 66; Palacios CM 83; Vera CM 67; Gulli CM 67; Acuna LB 76; Fernandez CB 69; Carabajal CB 73; Fuseini 69; Sterner RB 73; Cardozo GK 74

England vs. Spain
Edna Imade ST 83; Ibanez ST 71; Melamed CAM 69; Tobio Burgos CDM 73; Unai Vencedor CDM 72; Conechny LB 73; Carabajal CB 73; Fudalla 83; Nolaskoain CB 72; Jesus Clemente RB 64; Beltran GK 73

A tip before buying anything: check your club first. Untradeable duplicates and low-rated fodder you've already packed can shave a meaningful amount off the total cost, especially on the England vs. Spain task, which requires that 75 rating.

Full Rewards List

Completing the entire set nets you five packs:

1. Mini Gold Pack — three gold items, one guaranteed to be a player
2. Small Mixed Players Pack — two bronze, two silver, and two gold items
3. Small Gold Players Pack — six gold player items
4. Large Electrum Players Pack — six silver and six gold players
5. Large Gold Players Pack — 12 gold players, two guaranteed 82+

Where Things Stand

The set is live now as of Sept. 24. If you're building your club early in the cycle, this is one of the better reward-to-cost ratios you'll see from a repeatable SBC format — the tradeable packs alone give you a floor in value, and the Large Gold Players Pack is the real prize. Complete it while the Marquee Matchups window is open; once it rotates out, there's no way to claim the packs retroactively.
