The Road to the Knockout promo has one last surprise for FIFA 23 fans. October 13 brought what is likely the final player SBC for the promo in Benfica CM Joao Mario. As with every RTTK player, Mario’s card can upgrade if his team wins Group Stage games and advances in the competition. Benfica is currently set to advance to the knockout stage with a five-point cushion over both Juventus and Maccabi Haifa, making Mario a potentially strong pickup if you can fit him into your squad. Here’s what you need to do to add him to the club.
