The Showdown cards have a special property, as the players selected will get a +2 OVR to their stats if their team wins, however, in the case of a draw, both will be rewarded with a +1 OVR boost. 

From Real Madrid's side, EA has selected Mariano Díaz, a perhaps lackluster choice for many, but with great stats that would make him a sleeper pick for any FUT squad.

Mariano Díaz Showdown - Stats

Despite his irregular performances for Real Madrid in real life, the Mariano Díaz Showdown boasts some incredible stats that can potentially get even better if Los Merengues qualify for the Champions League final.

He's got both Acceleration and Sprint Speed over 90, making him a perfect candidate for players looking to execute a high-tempo strategy. He's also no slouch when it comes to Finishing (90), Ball Control (85), and Dribbling (86).

His biggest attributes without a doubt are his aerial skills, reaching 99 in both Jumping and Heading Accuracy, with Mariano's only downside being that he's 180cm. 

On top of all this Diaz's 97 Free Kick Accuracy is nothing to be scoffed at and could potentially be a difference-maker in close matches.
