His creativity and flair are a thing of beauty, the man who made his way from AC Milan in Serie A, from Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1 and has found his feet at West Ham in the Premier League and will be a part of the Europa Conference League Final, Lucas Paquetá has his Showdown SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The Brazilian playamaker’s SBC is quite expensive, coming in at a price of 236.5K coins and needs 2 segments to unlock the card.
He has some very good stats and characteristics such as:
- 84 Acceleration and 86 Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type allow him to navigate the advanced midfield quickly
- 90 Positioning, 89 Finishing, 87 Shot Power and 87 Long Shots with his Outside Foot Shot Trait allows him to a clinical finisher both inside and outside the box
- Impeccable ball distribution with 93 Vision, 93 Short Passing and 89 Long Passing
- 82 Agility and 84 Balance aren’t very high but his 89 Reactions, 94 Ball Control, 96 Dribbling and 96 Composure allow him to be incredibly graceful with his Skill Moves and his Flair Trait
- 84 Interceptions, 80 Defensive Awareness and 86 Standing Tackle will allow him to successively press the ball high up the pitch
- 88 Jumping and 81 Heading Accuracy with his 5’11 Height allow him to be a good presence in the air
- 91 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 80+ minutes
- 87 Strength and 86 Aggression will allow him to hold his own in physical duels and 50/50’s
- 5-Star Skill Moves and 4-Star Weak Foot combinations allow him to make the most of his high dribbling stats
- High/High Workrates are very good for a box-to-box midfielder
His ideal position in game would be as a central CAM in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) or a box-to-box CM/CDM in a 4-3-3 variant. His stat distribution and characteristics allow him to have a good defensive presence with top tier offensive capabilities.
He has a similar player profile to that of Mid Icon Zinedine Zidane. They’re slightly heavy and clunky, have a hard time turning but their incredibly high Dribbling and the 5-Star Skill Moves allow them to be unbelievably fluid on the ball with immaculate shooting/passing ability.
The card has a few drawbacks such as:
- Low Agility/Balance combination with his Average body type will make him a little clunky
- 82 Crossing means his delivery of the ball if he drifts wide will be subpar

Showdown Lucas Paquetá: Complete or Yeet?
The card is a little above average at this stage of the game but not by much. His profile is quite unique and with a +2 upgrade should West Ham win the final he will be one of the best free roaming CAM’s in the game which is why this SBC is worth it. My verdict: Complete!
