FIFA 20: Summer Showdown Vinicius Junior vs Darwin Machis – Requirements, Rewards, Expiry Date, Prediction, Player Reviews & more

It’s Monday night so that can only mean one thing, a brand-new Summer Showdown clash!

We’ve had Bundesliga and Premier League so far and now it’s a trip to Spain as Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior takes on Darwin Machis of Granada CF.

As always there is a separate SBC for each player, which will unlock you a boosted version of their base card. The player from the winning side when they meet in real life will then receive a further upgrade to their SBC card.

Here is the information on the SBC for both players and our advice on who you should invest in!

Expiry Date

The game will be played on Monday, 13 July whilst both of the SBC’s will expire on Friday, July 10.

Requirements and Estimated Cost

As we have already alluded to, their are two separate SBC’s, one for Vinicius Junior and one for Darwin Machis.

You are able to complete both if you wish, but only the player from the winning side will receive that +3 to their card. If the game ends in a draw both players will be boosted by one rating.

Worth it?

As far as bankers go, top-of-the-table Real Madrid coming up against mid-table Granada is up there with the best of them. However, if sport has taught us anything, it’s to take nothing for granted!

The best way to decide whether or not you want to complete these SBC’s is to take both cards on face value, presume that they are not going to get upgraded and then if they do, it’s a nice bonus!

Summer Heat Machis 2 2 2 1

Looking at both cards on face-value and you’ve got two very decent cards indeed. Vinicius Junior is very good on FIFA 20 anyway, on both his base card and his 85-rated ShapeShifters card. This card is a level above either of those!

The fact that he is Brazilian is a big bonus too. He’s a LW rather than a striker on his ShapeShifters card but, with some incredible stats and 5* skills, we doubt many people will mind!

Meanwhile Machis may not be a household name like Vinicius Junior but he also has a very nice card indeed. We’d say he’s slightly worse than Vinicius but he is a striker, and he does have some high-end stats. He’s also around 100/150k cheaper than his opponent.

Who to pick?

As much as you never know in sport, Real Madrid have been in great form since the restart and given that they currently lead the way in La Liga as we head down the stretch, we can’t see them dropping points in this one.
