The Showdown Series promo left FIFA 22 Ultimate Team as quickly as it came, but it brought plenty of SBCs during the event.
Keep on top of all the latest card upgrades below, and find out whether your investment was worth it.
Latest - All Upgrades are LIVE
All matches covered by the Showdown Series have been completed, with all the card upgrades now live.
The first set of upgrades went live as scheduled on Friday, 8 April, with the second set coming on Tuesday, 12 April.
One of the biggest winners has been Burnley's Wout Weghorst, who now has an astonishing 91 OVR card, with the stats of an even higher card!
The much-hyped game between Manchester City and Liverpool didn't disappoint, although it did result in a draw, meaning neither Aymeric Laporte nor Curtis Jones gained a full upgrade.

How do Showdown cards work?
FIFA 22 Showdown SBCs are a very simple, but very clever concept, that relies on real-world footballing fixtures and results to determine upgrades to cards.
To start off, 2 cards are released as Showdown SBCs for a limited time for an upcoming fixture, usually pitting two relatively equally matched teams against each other that have an interesting or important fixture upcoming.
FUT players can complete both SBCs if they wish if the cards are heavily upgraded from their base versions, or they can ‘bet’ on which team they think will win the fixture by completing their SBC in hope of a further upgrade.
Once the SBC expires and the game is played, the Showdown SBC cards receive upgrades based on the result of the fixture.
For the team that wins the fixture, the corresponding Showdown SBC card in-game will receive a +2 OVR Upgrade, further boosting the card to new heights, while the card from the team that lost will remain the same rating.
If the fixture results in a draw, then both cards will receive a +1 OVR Upgrade.
