The first Showdown Squad Building Challenge went live for FIFA 21 on December 26, and this one should get LaLiga fans ready for a big matchup. Villarreal CF and Sevilla FC will square off on December 29, but before then, FIFA players can get their hands on two players from this matchup: Francis Coquelin and Marcos Acuna. Both players are available through limited-time Squad Building Challenges, and here’s what you have to do to get these players.
