FIFA 23 Ismael Bennacer RTTK card: Upgraded overall, predicted stats, and more

sportskeeda.com:

At the time of his release, Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) Ismael Bennacer was probably the best value Squad Building Challenge (SBC) in FIFA 23. The SBC cost around 30,000 FUT coins and provided fans with an 84-rated special version of the AC Milan midfielder, who possessed incredible in-game stats. It was a must-do SBC for anyone using a Serie A squad in FUT.

The concept of RTTK is a rather entertaining one. Although the promo itself lasted only a week, it has kept fans hooked, with people tuning in to watch UEFA club competitions to see if their favorite cards will get upgraded. With the group stages of the Champions League recently coming to a conclusion, the community finally knows which cards will be upgraded in FIFA 23.

After a rather tumultuous set of games in their Champions League group, AC Milan had to secure a favorable result on the final matchday to qualify for the knockouts. The Rossoneri were in a group with English giants Chelsea, RB Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb. After a rather shaky start to their campaign, they managed to get the right results in the end and secure both upgrades for RTTK Bennacer.

To secure RTTK upgrades, teams must win two of their final three group stage games, as well as secure qualification for the knockout stages. With their win against RB Salzburg on the final matchday, AC Milan fulfilled both these requirements, ensuring that RTTK Bennacer will receive a massive +3 boost in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

RTTK Bennacer has a base rating of 84 in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. The Algerian midfielder is a versatile defensive-midfielder in the current meta and performs even better than his stats suggest. With his expected upgrade, he will become even more effective in-game, much to the delight of fans
