The Omar Marmoush vs. Jurrien Timber Showdown SBC is live in FC 26, and you will have to make an important decision over the next couple of days.
Like all Showdown cards, both Timber and Marmoush are eligible for upgrades. That will be decided by the result between Manchester City and Arsenal when they meet in the final of the Carabao Cup. While you can do both, only one card will be eligible for the upgrades.
This guide will help you make the correct choice.

Which card should you pick
If you have a position to fill in your squad, you should make your decision based on that. If you need a defender, you should choose Timber. If you need an attacker, it's Marmoush who's worth the pick. However, which is the better card before the upgrades?
Marmoush is clearly the better card between the two. Both cards have weaknesses, but Timber isn't a meta option. He lacks Intercept, which is absolutely necessary for any defensive item. His stat distribution is alright, and he could get 90 Defense and Physicality if Arsenal wins the final. However, the lack of Intercept will always remain a worry.
Marmoush, on the other hand, already looks like a pretty meta choice. He has Rapid+ and Low Driven+, which are amazing to have on an attacker. He also has the base Finesse Shot, Technical, First Touch, Trickster, and Incisive Pass, which makes it easy for you to go past your opponents and score. The 4* Weak Foot is a worry, but you can manage it by going for the correct angles.
The only minus point for Marmoush is his lack of Tiki Taka playstyle. With just 83 Passing, he will struggle to make passes when the space is tight. However, an incoming upgrade or an evolution should remove that issue.
