FIFA 23 Shapeshifter Icon Zambrotta SBC: Squads and Cheapest Solutions | OneFootball

FIFA 23's Shapeshifters promo has started with a bang.

There has been a wide range of fairly priced meta players available through the Squad Building Challenges section. For us, Gianluca Zambrotta is the best player that has been released so far in the promo.

Zambrotta is one of football's greatest-ever fullbacks, with the versatility to play at either right back or left back available with many of his Ultimate Team cards. However, his Shapeshifters card has offered a unique central midfield variant.

The Italian is exceptionally well-rounded and would be perfectly suited to playing in midfield. But equally, his card could help with chemistry for players who are looking to move a midfielder into defence to suit the current five-at-the-back meta.

Zambrotta's newest addition to FUT could be deployed in any area of the pitch, but he is perhaps most suited to playing a box-to-box midfield role, due to his high defensive and attacking work rates. Nevertheless, the Icon from Italy is a must-complete SBC in FIFA 23.

Here we will look at which squads are required in order to acquire the FIFA World Cup winner for your Ultimate Team, as well as the cheapest solutions.
