FIFA 22 TOTW 24 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 24 will be dropping into packs this week and if our predictions are spot on, it could be pretty attack-heavy. So, let’s get into it. As the calendar turns from February to March, things are heating up on the pitch both in real life and in FIFA Ultimate Team. We’ve hit that point where title races are starting to heat up across Europe, the MLS is returning, and some cup competitions are starting to be settled as well. In FIFA, that means we draw ever closer to Team of the Season and some other blockbuster promos. Though, we still have a few Team of the Weeks to get through before we start seeing 95+ rated cards drop with some regularity. So, let’s get into our predictions for Team of the Week 24. Headlining our predictions this week are Kylian Mbappe, Joshua Kimmich, Dušan Vlahović, Renan Lodi, Ousmane Dembele, and Lorenzo Insigne. So, as noted, pretty attack-heavy. After two goals, an assist, and man of the match honors against Saint Etienne, PSG’s Mbappe seems well in line to grab another upgrade in Ultimate Team. Though, don’t count on him using it in FUT Champs. Similarly, Vlahović found the net twice in Juventus’ 3-2 win over Empoli and should get another boost. Bayern Munich’s Kimmich has had better games this season, however, an assist and man of the match honors against Frankfurt earns him a nod this week. In the case of Dembele, he was on fire for Barcelona in a 4-0 win over Bilbao, chipping in with two assists and a goal of his own.

That means it should be dropping on Wednesday, March 2nd at 6 PM as usual. If, for whatever reason, something does change then you’ll be able to get updates from our Team of the Week page and across our social accounts – DexertoFC and FUTWatch.

FIFA 22 TOTW 27 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 27 will be arriving in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team this week, and if our predictions are right, we should see some returning stars. So, let’s get into it. Even though the end of March – and the football season as a whole – is almost upon us, EA SPORTS have continued to deliver in a pretty big way when it comes to promos in FIFA 22. Last week saw the start of the Fantasy FUT promo, which works in a similar fashion to the What If? event of FIFA 21. If you pack one of the new cards, and their real-life counterparts meet the conditions laid out by EA for a boost, then their overall will shoot up. We’re expecting Team 2 this Friday, and it should also be a doozy. Before we get there though, we’ve got another Team of the Week to get through with TOTW 26. And this week should have a bit of a derby day feel to it. So, let’s get into our predictions. Headlining our predictions this week are Heung-Min Son, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Wissam Ben Yedder, Domenico Berardi, Tammy Abraham, and Axel Witsel. Read More: Maradona ICON cards removed from FIFA 22 – Tottenham’s Son should grab his second in-form of the season after he bagged a superb brace in Spurs’ 3-1 win over West Ham. Similarly, Aubameyang was on the scoresheet twice in El Clasico and arguably should have had a hat-trick as Barcelona ran out 4-0 winners in Madrid. The ever deadly Ben Yedder also bagged his own impressive brace as Monaco ran out 3-0 winners over PSG. Abraham meanwhile was the star of the show in Roma’s 3-1 Derby Della Capitale victory over Lazio, scoring twice inside the first 25 minutes for I Giallorossi.

That means that the new TOTW cards should hit packs on Wednesday, March 23 at 6 PM GMT. If anything does change, though, you’ll be able to find the latest updates on our Team of the Week page and across Twitter with DexertoFC and FUTWatch.

FIFA 22 TOTW 23 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 23 will be dropping into Ultimate Team this Wednesday. So, we’ve got a few predictions as to who should make the cut. The FIFA 22 promo calendar is continuing at pace, with EA SPORTS putting Future Stars on the shelf and setting players on the Road to the Final with new European Cards. As with previous years, Road to the Final means that selected players will get boosts for each knockout round they progress to, all the way up to the final – just as the name suggests. While we await another Friday promo to take RTTF’s place this week, we have another Team of the Week releases to get through. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 23. Headlining our predictions this week are Harry Kane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jadon Sancho, Teji Savanier, Ruben Neves, and Dani Olmo. So, there is some firepower on offer. In the case of Kane, the Spurs captain should make the cut after bagging a brace in a 3-2 away win over Manchester City – which included a stunning late header. While he hadn’t been firing for Arsenal, Aubameyang bagged a hat-trick for Barcelona away at Valencia, so he should be in. Similarly, Sancho was key in Manchester United’s hard-fought 4-2 win over Leeds United, and should grab a new card. There are also nods for Alban Lafont, Jurriën Timber, and Alex Moreno after stellar defensive displays. Lafont, in particular, made history, bagging a perfect 10/10 match rating from L’Equipe – the 13th time ever such a score has been handed out. FIFA 22 TOTW 23 Predictions | Team of the Week 23 GK: Alban Lafont – Nantes – GK: Andrea Consigli – Sassuolo – LB: Alex Moreno – Real Betis – LB: Birger Meling – Stade Rennias – RB: Valentino Livramento – Southampton – RWB: Conor Roberts – Burnley – CB: Jurriën Timber – Ajax – CB: Bremer – Torino – CB: Trent Sainsbury – KV Kortrijk – CB: Domagoj Vida – Beşiktaş – CM: Teji Savanier – Montpellier – CM: Ruben Neves – Wolves – CM: Morgan Gibbs-White – Sheffield United – CAM: Dani Olmo – RB Leipzig – RM: Jadon Sancho – Manchester United – LM: Arnaut Danjuma – Villarreal – LM: Anthony Nwakame – Trabzonspor – LW: Iker Muniain – Aletico Bilbao – ST: Harry Kane – Spurs – ST: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Barcelona – ST: Julian Alvarez – River Plate – ST: Giorgos Giakoumakis – Celtic – ST: Fabio Quagliarrela – Sampdoria – ST: Harry McKirdy – Swindon Town – WOW!!!!

If something does change, however, you’ll be able to get updates on our dedicated Team of the Week page, as well as across our Twitter accounts – DexertoFC and FUTWatch.

FIFA 22 TOTW 20 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 20 will be dropping into FIFA 22 Ultimate Team this Wednesday, and it could be a solid line-up if our predictions are spot on. With Team of the Year slowly fading into the rearview mirror, EA SPORTS will soon have a brand-new promo to drop in Ultimate Team. Seeing as the real-world transfer window has now come to an end, it is the perfect opportunity to bring back Winter Refresh and dish out some upgrades – as well as some much-needed transfer cards. Though, EA might have something different up their sleeve, just like year. However, before they start on with another promo, there is still a Team of the Week to be released. So, here are our predictions for FIFA 22 Team of the Week 20. In terms of headline names this week, we’re going with Sadio Mane, Luis Suarez, Casemiro, Angel Di Maria, and Radja Nainggolan. It’s a bit slim pickings beyond that, but there are some standouts. Kicking off with Mane, the Liverpool star has fired Senegal into the AFCON semi-finals with a goal and assist in his last two games. Similarly, Suarez, Casemiro, and Di Maria all found themselves on the scoresheet in key World Cup qualifiers and are deserving of an upgrade. Elsewhere, we’ve given nods to Salomon Rondon, James Tavernier, and Edmond Tapsoba. Rondon bagged a hat-trick for his native Venezuela, so the Everton forward is due an upgrade. Tavernier was on the scoresheet in Rangers 3-3 draw with Ross County, but was also outstanding in a game with Livingston. As for Tapsoba, he’s been vital in Burkina Faso’s run to the AFCON’s final four, so he’s worthy of a boost. FIFA 22 TOTW 20 Predictions | Team of the Week 20 GK: Simon Mignolet – Club Brugge – GK: Guillermo Ochoa – Club America – LB: Antonee Robinson – Fulham – RB: James Tavernier – Rangers – CB: Diego Godin – Atlético Mineiro – CB: Edmond Tapsoba – Bayer Leverkusen – CDM: Casemiro – Real Madrid – CDM: Fabian Frei – FC Basel – CM: Radja Nainggolan – Royal Antwerp – CM: Roque Mesa – Real Valladolid – CM: Philip Billing – AFC Bournemouth – CM: Cameron Brannagan – Oxford United – CAM: Tom Rogic – Celtic – RM: Angel Di Maria – PSG – RM: Otavio – Porto – LM: Trezeguet – Aston Villa – LW: Karl Toko Ekambi – Lyon – CF: Sadio Mane – Liverpool – ST: Luis Suarez – Aletico Madrid – ST: Salomon Rondon – Everton – ST: Mehdi Taremi – Porto – ST: Mislav Orsic – Dinamo Zagreb – ST: Lyndon Dykes – QPR – ST: Ruben Castro – FC Cartagena – What a night for Salomón Rondón and what a return to his national team! 🔥 The Everton striker has a hat-trick for Venezuela 🔵🇻🇪 pic.twitter.com/ysGKtAB3ZC — Premier Sports (@PremSportsTV) January 28, 2022 FIFA 22 TOTW 20 release time & date As ever, we’re expecting Team of the Week to release in its usual Wednesday slot. So, that means TOTW 20 will release on Wednesday, February 2 at 6 pm GMT. Should anything change on that front, and we’re not expecting it to, we’ll have updates in our Team of the Week hub. Otherwise, you can stay up to date with Ultimate Team via our Twitter pages – FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 22 TOTW 2 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22’s Early Access period continues to roll on and EA has another Team of the Week lined up. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 2. The Early Access period for FIFA 22 is almost at an end, and players will soon finally be able to stop worrying about their 10-hour trials and just enjoy the game without any time limits. The first batch of Team of the Week cards produced a bit of a dozy with the likes of Mo Salah, Vinicius Jr, Joshua Kimmich, and Thiago Silva receiving a nice boost, as well as Ivan Toney getting the highly-anticipated first Featured TOTW card of the campaign. Now, as we approach Team of the Week 2, we’re expecting another pretty decent crop of cards to drop into packs. So without any further ado, let’s get into our predictions for this week. Headlining our predictions this week are Achraf Hakimi, Theo Hernandez, Marco Asensio, Manuel Locatelli, and Wissam Ben Yedder. Hakimi has been in fine form since joining PSG, bagging both goals in a 2-1 win over Metz before helping keep a clean sheet against Montpellier. Hernandez deserves an upgrade for his goal, assist, and part played in keeping a clean sheet against Venezia. Similarly, Locatelli was all action in Juve’s 3-2 win over Sampdoria, bagging a goal and assist. There are nods for Kortney Hause, Gabriel Jesus, Jose Sa, and Bukayo Saka. All four were vital in big Premier League wins with Hause and Jesus scoring the winners for Aston Villa and Manchester City respective. Sa’s heroics helped Wolves to a 1-0 win while Saka was rampant in Arsenal’s dismantling of Spurs in the North London Derby. FIFA 22 TOTW 2 Predictions | Team of the Week 2 GK: Jose Sa – Wolves – GK: Jon McLaughlin – Rangers – GK: David Ospina – Napoli – RWB: Achraf Hakimi – PSG – RB: Pavel Kadeřábek – Hoffenheim – LB: Theo Hernandez – AC Milan – LWB: Caio Henrique – AS Monaco – CB: Kortney Hause – Aston Villa – CB: Aritz Elustondo – Real Sociedad – CB: Víctor Laguardia – Alavés – CB: Sang Hoon Ma – Seongnam – CDM: Manuel Locatelli – Juventus – CDM: Denis Zakaria – Borussia Monchengladbach – CM: Marco Asensio – Real Madrid – CM: Guus Til – Feyenoord – CAM: Christopher Nkunku – RB Leipzig – RM: Bukayo Saka – Arsenal – LM: Ben Bereton Diaz – Blackburn Rovers – LM: Felipe Anderson – Lazio – LW: Dusan Tadic – Ajax – ST: Gabriel Jesus – Manchester City – ST: Wissam Ben Yedder – AS Monaco – ST: Victor Osimhen – Napoli – ST: Stefano Okaka – Basaksehir – ST: Roman Yaremchuk – SL Benfica – ST: Hugo Ekitike – Stade Reims – ABSOLUTE SCENES!! 😱 1-1 at 90 minutes 🤝 90+1, Metz are handed two red cards, to their captain and their manager 🟥🟥 90+3, No foul called on Kimpembe… 👀 90+4, PSG play on and Hakimi slots home the winner! 😲 pic.twitter.com/Z8OG3dMabT — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) September 22, 2021 When does FIFA 22 TOTW 2 release? As for when you’ll be able to start adding these cards to your Ultimate Team, the TOTW 2 squad will drop into packs on Wednesday, September 29 at 6 pm GMT. If you still haven’t got your hands on a copy of FIFA 22, don’t worry, you don’t have to miss out. You can still open packs on the Web App as well as in-game. So, best of luck.

FIFA 22 TOTW 18 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 18 will be released by EA SPORTS this week, and it could have some serious firepower. So, here are our predictions. With the release of the Team of the Year warmup series last week, we’re inching ever closer to the launch of Team of the Year in FIFA 22. The annual promo will, undoubtedly, give us some of the best Ultimate Cards in the game, but we’ve still got some time before we get there. So, that means another Team of the Week release. Last week’s TOTW may have been a bit lackluster to some, seeing as Premier League players were pretty much eligible. However, Team of the Week 18 doesn’t have that issue, and it could give us some serious firepower. So, let’s get into the predictions. Headlining our Team of the Week 18 predictions are none other than Robert Lewandowski, Fabinho, Bruno Fernandes, Ciro Immobile, Wissam Ben Yedder, and Hirving Lozano. As we said, some serious firepower. In the case of Lewandowksi, the Polish forward bagged his 300th Bundesliga goal in Bayern Munich’s 4-0 demolition of FC Koln, and if EA doesn’t have a special celebration card, he seems a certain choice. While United didn’t hold on to their lead over Aston Villa, Ferndnades got on the scoresheet twice and should add some shine to this Team of the Week. Elsewhere we’ve also given nods to Mahmoud Dahoud, Jack Harrison, and Thilo Kehrer. Dahoud bagged a goal and chipped in with an assist for Dortmund in their win over Freiburg, so he should get in. Harrison is guaranteed after his hat-trick for Leeds against West Ham. An out-of-position Kehrer should also be on the cards following goals in consecutive games for PSG. FIFA 22 TOTW 18 Predictions | Team of the Week 18 GK: Peter Gulasci – RB Lepizig – GK: Jose Sa – Wolves – RB: Salih Dursun – Fatih Karagümrük – RB: Thilo Kehrer – PSG – LB: Brandon Williams – Norwich City – LWB: Cristiano Biraghi – Fiorentina – CB: Jeremiah St. Juste – Mainz – CB: Riccieli – Famalicão – CB: Kal Naismith – Luton Town – CDM: Fabinho – Liverpool – CM: Mahmoud Dahoud – Borussia Dortmund – CM: Matt Crooks – Middlesbrough – CM: Weston McKennie – Juventus – CM: Fabio Vieria – Porto – CM: Jasmin Kurtic – PAOK – CAM: Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United – CAM: Harry Wilson – Fulham – CAM: Adrien Thomassen – Racing Strausborg – RM: Junya Ito – KRC Genk – LM: Jack Harrison – Leeds United – LM: Gonzalo Martinez – Al-Nassr – LM: Tom Lawrence – Derby County – LW: Hirving Lozano – Napoli – CF: Antonín Barak – Hellas Verona – ST: Robert Lewandowksi – Bayern Munich – ST: Wissam Ben Yedder – AS Monaco – ST: Ciro Immobile – Lazio – ST: Aleksandr Mitrovic – Fulham – ST: Chris Maguire – Lincoln City – ST: Marvin Ducksch – Werder Bremen – Robert Lewandowski is just the second player to score 300 Bundesliga goals after Gerd Müller (365): ◎ 369 games ◉ 300 goalsMarking the milestone with a hat-trick. 🎩 pic.twitter.com/BVfCU7I2ce — Squawka (@Squawka) January 15, 2022 FIFA 22 TOTW 18 release time & date As ever, unless something dramatic happens, Team of the Week 18 will be dropping in the usual slot – Wednesday, January 19 at 6 pm GMT. If anything changes on that front, or we get any cards leaked early, you’ll be able to find updates in our Team of the Week release hub.

FIFA 22 TOTW 19 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 19 will be dropping into Ultimate Team in its usual Wednesday slot, so, here are our predictions for TOTW 19. With the real-world football transfer windows getting ready to slam shut, we’ve reached that point in the annual FIFA Ultimate Team calendar where EA SPORTS finally release Team of the Year. The star-studded lineup has slowly but surely started to drop into packs, and a fan vote is underway for a 12th man. Within a few days, it’ll all be wrapped up and we’ll be onto the next promo that EA has planned. However, before we hit that point, there is another Team of the Week set to release. So, let’s get into some predictions for TOTW 19. In terms of headline predictions this week, we’ve gone for Joshua Kimmich, Frenkie De Jong, Dries Mertens, Marco Verratti, Steven Bergwijn, and Donyell Malen. Bayern Munich’s Kimmich would likely be the highest-rated player in this crop of TOTW cards, and is deserving of an upgrade after his Man of the Match performance against Hertha Berlin. Similarly, an upgraded De Jong would bolster any La Liga midfield, and he should get a new card after his winner for Barca against Alaves. Elsewhere, we’ve given nods to Lucas Digne, Tammy Abraham, and Joško Gvaridol. Digne helped Aston Villa keep a clean sheet and chipped in with an assist as he faced off against his old side Everton. Abraham, once again, bagged a brace for Roma as they continued their winning run against Empoli. As for Gvardiol, he found the net and helped RB Leipzig keep a clean sheet against Wolfsburg. FIFA 22 TOTW 19 Predictions | Team of the Week 19 GK: Odysseas Vlachodimos – Benfica – GK: Marco Bizot – Stade Brest – LB: Lucas Digne – Aston Villa – LB: Alfonso Pedraza – Villarreal – CB: Joško Gvardiol – RB Leipizig – CB: David Garcia – Osasuna – CB: Andrei Girotto – FC Nantes – CDM: Joshua Kimmich – Bayern Munich – CM: Frenkie De Jong – Barcelona – CM: Marco Verratti – PSG – CM: Orkun Kökçü – Feyenoord – CM: Danny Latza – Schalke 04 – CAM: Nabil Fekir – Real Betis – CAM: Emre Akbaba – Galatasary – RM: Bobby Decordova-Reid – Fulham – RM: Yunus Akgün – Adana Demirspor – RW: Jack Muldoon – Harrogate Town – LM: Steve Bergwijn – Spurs – LM: Moussa Diaby – Bayern Leverkusen – LW: Stephy Mavididi – Montpellier – CF: Dries Mertens – Napoli – CF: Max Kruse – Union Berlin – ST: Donyell Malen – Borussia Dortmund – ST: Tammy Abraham – AS Roma – ST: Josh Sargent – Norwich City – ST: Ui-Jo Hwang – Bordeaux – ST: Juanma – Burgos – ST: Danny Ward – Huddersfield Town – Joshua Kimmich against Hertha BSC today: 154 touches 114 passes completed (91.2%) 9/12 duels won — 9/12 ground 8 recoveries 7 chances created — 3 big chances — 2 assists 6/8 long passes completed 4 crosses completed 4 fouls won 4/4 take-ons completedStunning. pic.twitter.com/EwL0J4rlkT — UtdArena (@UtdArena) January 23, 2022 FIFA 22 TOTW 19 release time & date As ever, unless EA say otherwise for some reason, Team of the Week will release in its usual slot, meaning TOTW 19 will hit packs on Wednesday, January 26 at 6pm GMT.

FIFA 22 TOTW 15 predictions | FUT Team of the Week EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 15 is the final batch of in-forms before we head into the new year. Here are all of the players we’re expecting to get the nod in the last TOTW of 2021. There’s plenty of exciting content in FIFA 22 right now. ICON Swaps is underway to give players something to grind for, and Winter Wildcards has been one of the best promos in recent memory. But the good times aren’t over in 2021 just yet – the last Team of the Week of this year is on hand to deliver even special cards into packs. After a festive period chocked full of matches, there are plenty of candidates who could show up. We’ve put together our best predictions of who to expect in Team of the Week 15. Heading up our predictions for this week is Real Madrid star Karim Benzema. The Frenchman netted twice in the clash with Athletic Bilbao, firing the Galacticos into an eight-point lead in LaLiga. Elsewhere, we’re expecting Spurs’ Lucas Moura to be included. He was involved in three of his side’s goals against Crystal Palace as they continue their resurgence under Antonio Conte. If you’re looking for a solid CDM, Franck Kesse bagged twice for AC Milan, so don’t be surprised to see him show up. Jorginho also scored to penalties in Chelsea’s win over Villa, which could be enough for his first in-form of the year.

FIFA 22 TOTW 16 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 16 will be dropping into Ultimate Team this week and we’ve got a few predictions for who might make the TOTW cut this time around. Even though some top leagues are still on their winter break in real life, EA SPORTS is continuing at pace with adding new content to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. The first team in the Headliners set was added to the mix last week, and we should get a second batch before long. Plus, the old faithful, Team of the Year is lurking right around the corner – and that will bring some of the best cards of the entire FIFA 22 calendar. Before we get either of those, however, we’ll get at least another set of Team of the Week cards in the form of TOTW 16. So, let’s get into some predictions. In terms of big names for this week’s batch of TOTW cards, we’re going with Marc Andre Ter-Stegen, Gerard Pique, Rodri, Scott McTominay, Phil Foden, and Iago Aspas. So, it might not be the best Team of the Week ever. After avoiding postponements, both Rodri and Foden were key in Manchester City’s push to go 10 points clear at the top of the table, starring in wins over Arsenal and Brentford respectively. As for the Barca duo of Ter-Stegen and Pique, the Catalans held out to bag a 1-0 win over Mallorca, with both playing key roles. Elsewhere we’ve also given nods to Joao Moutinho, Jeffrey Schlupp, Manuel Lanzini, and Angel Correa. Moutinho scored Wolves’ only goal in a 1-0 win over Manchester United, so he should get in. Sclupp would be a position change from his usual role, moving to center mid instead of being a wideman, so that’d be an interesting proposition. As for Correra, he was vital in Atletico Madrid’s win over Rayo Vallecano, bagging a brace. FIFA 22 TOTW 16 Predictions | Team of the Week 16 GK: Marc Andre Ter-Stegen – FC Barcelona – GK: Kasper Schmeichel – Leicester City – GK: Edgar Badia – Elche – RB: Mads Roerslev – Brentford – RWB: Stuart Dallas – Leeds United – LB: Mathías Olivera – Getafe – LWB: Nacho – Real Valladolid – CB: Gerard Pique – FC Barcelona – CB: Davinson Sanchez – Spurs – CB: Pau Torres – Villarreal – CDM: Rodri – Manchester City – CDM: Scott McTominay – Manchester United – CM: Jeffrey Schlupp – Crystal Palace – CM: Ever Banega – Al Shabab – CM: Joao Moutinho – Wolves – CAM: Manuel Lanzini – West Ham United – CAM: Javier Puado – Espanyol – CAM: John Buckley – Blackburn Rovers – RM: Aaron Mooy – Shanghai Port – RM: Andreas Weimann – Bristol City – LM: Pepe – FC Porto – LM: Alexis Mac Allister – Brighton and Hove Albion – LM: Craig Goodwin – Adelaide United – LW: Phil Foden – Manchester City – RW: Iuri Medieros – Braga – CF: Angel Correa – Aletico Madrid – ST: Iago Aspas – Celta Vigo – ST: Bafétimbi Gomis – Al Hilal – ST: Paulinho – Sporting Lisbon – ST: Oihan Sancet – Atletico Bilbao – ST: Denilson – Pacos De Ferreira – ST: Ross Stewart – Sunderland – ST: Harry McKirdy – Swindon Town – HIGHLIGHTS | @LuukdeJong9 and @mterstegen1 lead @FCBarcelona to new year triumph in Mallorca! 🔥 🎬 #RCDMallorcaBarça pic.twitter.com/YIE5RkeNlh — LALIGA English (@LaLigaEN) January 2, 2022 FIFA 22 TOTW 16 release time & date In terms of the release of Team of the Week 16, that’ll come on Wednesday, January 5 at 6 pm GMT barring any hiccups on EA’s end.

FIFA 22 TOTW 14 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week EA SportsFIFA 22 Team of the Week 14 is the final roll call before Christmas! Check out which players we think will be rewarded in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team this week with our full predictions. Ultimate Team players have suddenly been smacked by a flurry of exciting promotions to get the juices flowing. In the blink of an eye, Versus, ICON Swaps, Winter Wildcard, and the first batch of Prime ICONS have all landed in the last couple of weeks. There are hot offers, grade trade opportunities available, but one thing is still rolling on very comfortably — Team of the Week. The weekly celebration of the best performances around the world returns for TOTW 14 in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. This week, there have been some devastatingly good showings from some tremendous players. So let’s take a look at the cream of the crop that we think will be highlighted for TOTW 14. Headlining our Team of the Week predictions this time around are Manchester City stars Joao Cancelo and Riyad Mahrez after a stunning week for them. Along with them, we expect to see Gabriel Martinelli, Serge Gnabry, Gerard Moreno, and several other star names. Ledesma managed to repel 90 minutes of relentless Real Madrid pressure to probably secure himself a GK card and Lucas Torreria and Calhanoglu excelled in the middle of the park for Fiorentina and Inter, respectively. Further up the field, Martinelli is back shining for the Gunners, Gnabry had a hot week for Bayern Munich, Inaki Williams continues to terrorize defenses, and Ben Brereton provided two more goals to add extra value to his rising stock.

FIFA 22 TOTW 12 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 12 is set to arrive in Ultimate Team soon, so, we’ve got a few predictions about who might get a TOTW upgrade. As we get closer and closer to the holiday period, the FIFA 22 year is continuing at pace as promos keep being rolled out by EA SPORTS. Even though we haven’t FUTmas yet, leakers are expecting FUT Freeze to make a return before long – and have even managed to reveal a few of the players who should be grabbing a brand-new card. Before we get those wild upgrades, however, Team of the Week 12 will be dropping into Ultimate Team packs at its usual time. So, we’ve got a few predictions about what to expect with the new TOTW. In terms of headliners this week, we’re going with Heung-Min Son, Eder Militao, Bernardo Silva, Ciro Immobile, and Juan Cuadrado. So, there could be a few nice cards. We’ve given a nod to Militao after keeping back-to-back clean sheets with Real Madrid. Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva is well worth an upgrade after his brace in City’ win over Watford. Cuadrado, who always has a nice upgraded card in FUT, deserves one this time around for his goal and stellar performance for Juventus against Genoa. Should Son get an upgrade, and he’s well worthy of one, it would be the Spurs man’s third of the season,which is pretty ridiculous. On the flip side, we’ve given a nod to Kingsley Coman to get his first boost as he was in stellar form for Bayern Munich, grabbing a vital goal in the 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker. FIFA 22 TOTW 12 Predictions | Team of the Week 12 GK: Lukasz Skorpuski – Bologna – GK: Igor Akinfeev – CSKA Moscow – GK: Adam Davies – Stoke City – RB: Frédéric Guilbert – Racing Strasbourg – RWB: Juan Cuadrado – Juventus – CB: Ezri Konsa – Aston Villa – CB: Eder Militao – Real Madrid – CB: Lisandro Martinez – Ajax – CDM: Fred – Manchester United – CDM: Jordan Henderson – Liverpool – CDM: Franck Kessie – AC Milan – CM: Matheus Nunes – Sporting Lisbon – CM: Sondre Tronstad – Vitesse – CM: Bernardo Silva – Manchester City – RM: Kingsley Coman – Bayern Munich – RW: Lucas Ocampos – Sevilla – RW: Morgan Gibbs-White – Sheffield United – LM: Vincenzo Grifo – SC Freiburg – LM: Luis Sinisterra – Feyenoord – LW: Martin Terrier – Rennes – LF: Heung-Min Son – Spurs – ST: Giovanni Simeone – Hellas Verona – ST: Ciro Immobile – Lazio – ST: Patrik Schick – Bayer Leverkusen – ST: Serdar Dursun – Fenerbahçe – ST: Astrit Selmani – Allsvenskan – ST: Kaly Sene – Grasshoppers Zurich – Man on fire. 🔥@BernardoCSilva | #WATMCI pic.twitter.com/msChE1N5Xf — Premier League (@premierleague) December 4, 2021 FIFA 22 TOTW 12 release time & date As noted, unless something goes massively wrong for EA SPORTS, we’ll be seeing Team of the Week 12 arrive in packs on Wednesday, December 8 at 6 pm GMT.

FIFA 22 TOTW 13 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 13 will be arriving in Ultimate Team before you know it, and we’ve got a few predictions for who might make the cut. With the holidays on the horizon, EA SPORTS have started the festivities with the arrival of new promos. FUTMas hasn’t yet hit Ultimate Team, but we have gotten the Versus promo. This promo is a spin on what we’ve come to know and love as Freeze in previous FIFAs. Instead of just a Freeze upgrade, EA SPORTS are giving players the chance to get both Freeze and Fire cards – with each having a different stats boost depending on which one you opt to choose. One promo that hasn’t changed, and never will, is Team of the Week. This week, we’re looking forward to TOTW 13, and it could have some handy cards if our predictions are anything to go by. So, let’s get into them. Headlining our Team of the Week predictions this time around are David De Gea, Kylian Mbappe, Jorginho, Dusan Vlahovic, Nicolo Barella, and Thomas Delaney. As noted it could very well be a solid crop of players. We’ve gone for Kylian Mbappe after he managed to brace a brace and man of the match honors for PSG against Monaco. As for David De Gea, we think he’s due a boost for his late-game heroics for Manchester United against Norwich City. Inter Milan’s Nico Barella deserves a nice upgrade after he managed to find the net twice against Cagliari. Elsewhere, we’ve given a nod to Crystal Palace’s Conor Gallagher to get an overdue upgrade after he scored twice against Everton. Duje Caleta-Car and Karim Adeyemi are both worthy of new cards after stellar performances for Marseille and RB Salzburg respectively.

FIFA 22 TOTW 10 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 10 is arriving just in time for an Ultimate Team Black Friday event, and it could be pretty stacked if our predictions are right. With the temperature getting ever colder as we approach the holiday season, things are starting to heat back up in the world of FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. The winter months have, traditionally, given us some of the best promos and cards with the likes of Black Friday packs, FUTMAS, and Team of the Year typically coming in quick succession. This year has also seen the addition of the Numbers Up Adidas promo, with some cards being boosted up to 99 in certain stats. While, as of writing, it remains to be seen if we’ll get a Black Friday or Cyber Monday event in FIFA 22, you can count on a new Team of the Week dropping into packs. So, let’s get into some predictions for TOTW 10. Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week 10 are Sadio Mane, Toni Kroos, N’Golo Kante, Leonardo Bonucci, and Rodri. As we pointed out, it could be a pretty tasty bunch of new cards. Mane led from the front as Liverpool dispatched of Arsenal 4-0, bagging a goal and an assist. As for Kroos, the German chipped in with two assists for Real in their win over Granada, picking up Man of the Match honors. Chelsea’s Kante could also grab an upgrade as he was imperious in the Blues’ win over Leicester. The Frenchman bagged a goal on his return to the King Power too. Elsewhere, we’ve also gone for Felipe and Emmanuel Dennis as players who are well worthy of an upgrade. Watford’s Dennis was in fine form as the Hornets shocked Manchester United 4-1, ending Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign as manager. Atletico’s Felipe seems a shoo-in after his match-winning goal and clean sheet against Osasuna. FIFA 22 TOTW 10 Predictions | Team of the Week 10 GK: Lukáš Hrádecký – Bayer Leverkusen – GK: Joël Drommel – PSV Eindhoven – GK: Rui Silva – Real Betis – RWB: Kevin Akpoguma – Hoffenheim – RWB: Graham Zusi – Sporting Kansas City – LB: Iago – Augsburg – LB: Frank Fabra – Boca Juniors – CB: Jorge Cuenca – Getafe – CB: Felipe – Atletico Madrid – CB: Leonardo Bonucci – Juventus – CDM: Rodri – Manchester City – CDM: Ibrahim Sangare – PSV Eindhoven – CDM: N’Golo Kante – Chelsea – CM: Toni Kroos – Real Madrid – CM: Alfred Duncan – Fiorentina – CM: Mario Vrancic – Stoke City – CAM: Emiliano Vecchio – Rosario Central – CAM: Sonny Kittel – Hamburg – RM: Romain Faivre – Stade Brest – LM: Amine Gouiri – OGC Nice – RW: Steven Berghuis – Ajax – LW: Mario Pasalic – Atalanta – LW: Sadio Mane – Liverpool – CF: Lars Stindl – Borussia Monchengladbach – ST: Jonathan David – Lille – ST: Emmanuel Dennis – Watford – ST: Deniz Undav – Royale Union Saint-Gilloise – ST: Christian Benteke – Crystal Palace – ST: Kodjo Fo Doh Laba – Al-Ain – ST: Rhys Healey – Toulouse – FIFA 22 TOTW 10 release time & date Provided there are no hiccups on EA’s side, you’ll be able to grab the new Team of the Week 10 cards on Wednesday, November 24 at 6 PM GMT.

Haaland continued his electric goal-scoring form for Dortmund against Union Berlin bagging a brace in a 4-2 win. As for Kimmich, he also grabbed two goals, but also managed to win Man of the Match honors. While De Gea may not have kept a clean sheet, there wasn’t a bigger moment in this round of games than his last-minute penalty stop to hand United the win. Elsewhere, we’re giving nods to Ivan Toney for his industrious performance against Wolves, Edin Dzeko for his brace in a 6-1 win, as well David Neres for contributing in a majo way to Ajax’s breathtaking 9-0 win.

FIFA 22 Title Update #4 patch notes: Shooting & Driven Pass nerf, Goalkeeper buffs, more EA SPORTSEA SPORTS released a new FIFA 22 patch for the PC version of the game — Update #4 — which includes nerfs to shooting and driven passes, goalkeeper buffs, and more. Here’s everything you need to know. FIFA 22 Title Update #4 was announced on January 11. It’s much bigger than the last few patches, and changes everything from driven pass interceptions, shooting assistance in certain scenarios, goalkeeper positioning and animations, and more. Initially, the patch will only be available on the PC version of the game. However, it will be added to console versions, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Stadia, at a later date. Let’s take a look at the patch notes in more detail. Title Update #4 will soon be available for the PC (Origin/Steam) version of FIFA 22, and the full TU notes are available now.https://t.co/ZuVJmCVUlj — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) January 11, 2022 FIFA 22 Shooting and Driven Pass nerfs Two things in the patch notes that stand out head and shoulders above the rest are nerfs to shooting assistance and driven passes. In terms of shooting, the developers have reduced the amount of shooting assistance applied to shots in situations where the goalkeeper is positioned close to a goal post. Essentially, this will make it harder for players to sneak the ball through consistently. However, with a bit of practice, it might even end up being a buff. Driven Passes have also been tweaked in a way that makes them more likely to be intercepted by players standing in the ball’s travel path. This makes them less effective than they have been in the current meta. FIFA 22 Goalkeeper buff In addition to the shooting changes mentioned above, which inadvertently make goalkeepers more effective, they’ve also received a handful of buffs. First and foremost, goalkeepers will now be more effective at saving shots aimed closed to them, particularly near their head and between their knees. They’ll also be more efficient at saving shots within their reach. Goalkeepers will also no longer deflect saveable low shots into their own net as frequently as they have. It didn’t happen too often, but it was still an issue that the developers deemed worthy of addressing. FIFA 22 CPU AI improvements The CPU AI in FIFA 22 received three improvements in this patch: First, they will mark opponents more efficiently during short corners. – Second, they’ve been given more variety to the shots they can pull off. – And last but not least, they’ll slide tackle less often. – That just about sums up the major changes in the patch. However, it also includes a whole lot more, including more gameplay changes, issues with various modes, and other bits and pieces. The full list of patch notes for FIFA 22 Title Update #4 can be found below: FIFA 22 Update 4 patch notes FIFA Ultimate Team Made the following changes: During away matches, players will see their own equipped pitch line colors instead of their opponent’s. – Updated Transfer Market and Stadium search filters to match the look and functionality of the Transfer Market Player Quality search filter. – Addressed the following issues: Addressed further instances of some players seeing an initializing message when attempting to matchmake in Division Rivals, and not finding an opponent. – In some cases, Team Management options could not have been adjusted during a Division Rivals match. – In a rare scenario, players were not able to enter the FUT Champions menu. – Some SBCs UI elements did not display correctly. – The match UI did not display an image for some Player Items when displaying the Players To Watch overlay. – Images on FUT Heroes Player Items did not always display correctly. – Flair Shots were not always being counted towards Objective progress. – An Event countdown timer incorrectly displayed when no Event was active in the Objectives menu. – The progress bar on the FUT Champions Play-Offs tile did not always display correctly after losing a match, this was a visual issue only. – The FUT Champions preview screen did not always display its navigational tabs correctly. – A placeholder UI element was unintentionally available in the menus and could have generated a message regarding Finals Qualification when selected.

FIFA 22 Title Update #6 patch notes: stepover and flick tweaks, slide tackle fix, more EA SPORTSEA SPORTS released a minor patch for FIFA 22’s PC version — Title Update #6 — which tweaks stepovers and flicks, fixes issues with slide tackling, and more. It’ll land on consoles shortly after. FIFA 22 has undergone a series of tweaks and changes so far in 2022. In January, the developers mixed up the gameplay by making shooting and driven passes less effective and making goalkeepers more effective. Things changed again in February when the developers rushed out a patch that made long-awaited changes to ground passes. It increased the likelihood of a player retaining the ball after intercepting or blocking one. Now the developers are at it again, and this time, they’ve set their sights on reworking some of the mechanics behind stepovers and flicks, slide tackles, and more. So without further ado, let’s jump right into it. Stepover and flick changes For a long time now, FIFA 22 players have experienced issues using stepovers and flicks when initiating a Player Run. The skill commands would often clash with the ability to choose a direction for the Player Run. Fortunately, the developers have tweaked the gameplay mechanics so that stepovers and flicks can no longer be performed for half a second after initiating a Player Run. They believe this will help solve the problem. Sliding tackle fix That’s not the only issue that has been addressed in Title Update #6. From now on, Sliding Tackles will no longer incorrectly be flagged as fouls when certain areas of the defender’s body make contact with the ball. It’s been a frustrating problem that has seen players lose games due to incorrect fouls, regardless of whether it resulted in a free-kick, penalty, or a red card. Fortunately, these calls will now be more accurate. That just about sums up the most important parts of the patch. However, there are plenty of other minor changes, too. The full list of patch notes for FIFA 22 Title Update #6 can be found below, courtesy of EA SPORTS: FIFA 22 Update #6 patch notes FIFA Ultimate Team Made the following change: If a significantly large amount of Packs was present in the My Packs tab in the FUT Store, only a small amount of Packs would be displayed until the number was reduced. – Addressed the following issues: If a significantly large amount of Packs was present in the My Packs tab in the FUT Store, not all of them were visible at once. – In some rare situations, the mouse cursor could not be moved in the menus. – Gameplay Made the following changes: Stepovers and flicks cannot be performed for 500 milliseconds after initiating a Player Run. This change is intended to prevent the aforementioned Skill Moves from clashing with the ability to choose a direction for the requested Player Run. – – Addressed the following issues: Following the activation of Player Lock with the input being performed at an angle, the first Player Switch would not occur and had to be performed again. – In some rare situations when shooting after a Skill Move, the shot would not be as accurate as intended. – If the Right Stick Switching option was set to Player Rotation, a right stick player switch could not be done after activating Player Lock. – In some cases, sliding tackles could be incorrectly called as a foul depending on which area of the defender’s body made contact with the ball. – Career Mode Addressed the following issues: Manager interviews did not always impact Team Morale. – The Asian International Cup did not feature the correctly placed team from the Indian Super League. – VOLTA FOOTBALL Made the following changes: Added 2 new Party Games to VOLTA ARCADE.

FIFA 22 TikTok tries to expose “scripting” in FUT Champs & Squad Battles EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have rejected the idea that scripting exists in FIFA 22 and others in the series, but some players on TikTok and Reddit compiled potential evidence to support the theory. Career Mode, and more recently Ultimate Team, players have often had a hunch that there are forces at play in the gameplay that gives advantages in certain moments. Whether it’s in Squad Battles, FUT Champions Weekend League, or one of the offline modes – theories are always flying around to explain defeats. What is scripting in FIFA 22? Is it real? Scripting is the most popular and long-standing theory in the FIFA community, claiming that momentum shifts in matches affect the difficulty to score goals. This has, however, always been denied by EA SPORTS. FIFA 22 scripting in FUT Champs? While the FIFA 22 developers vehemently deny the existence of scripting in their series, some still claim to find evidence to support the theory each year. Some of these claims can be a reach at times, especially after losing games, though a clip from TikTok user ronaldoisgoat9 does appear to show some potential negligence from the in-game referees. There is one instance where the ball falls back to the opponent who goes on to score. However, that’s not the most alarming as a second goal is disallowed for supposedly not crossing the line, only for the replay to show it should have definitely counted. https://www.tiktok.com/@ronaldoisgoat9/video/7022106767291059458?_d=secCgYIASAHKAESPgo8cgnvk3TaQYZuSjhSa7JoBQSoNijMMe0dp1e35C1NWPa1yVuhJ9NWBtt1caLBVDdxz6Kz7lqel05SGgA&checksum=7eeaec9cdb25f5c29535ebc0324574510dbaab461ec28b63f2ef67cacd38217c&language=en&preview_pb=0&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAA0RFoRvVP6bL5lev7bstz9EuEC8bNVn6bZJdrmVvww5Ug8XyV-holUSB8v3uo8Xi1&share_app_id=1233&share_item_id=7022106767291059458&share_link_id=255AA5EA-93A0-4398-95F8-4ED9F645A530&source=h5_m×tamp=1635189094&tt_from=copy&u_code=df7c96jm585jhm&user_id=6888375606317171717&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=copy&_r=1 Any form of scripting in the most competitive competition would be extremely controversial, to say the least. Squad Battles Potential scripting in offline play has always been a more popular theory, supported by a section of the Career Mode crowd. A Reddit user has also chimed in with a clip of Squad Battles. They said: “No scripting in SB? I’m controlling Gomez in the video, will not go to the ball like there’s a forcefield around it. Then runs the opposite direction!” During the short video, Gomez can noticeably be seen moving away from the action to allow the striker a chance to shoot. In the comments, other members of the community supported the point. One said: “I’ve had this happen a lot recently. Also, players do these when they should be receiving the pall for a perfect pass.” Another added: “Yeah. The movement seems kinda off at times. Sometimes it feels like you are not in control at all. But it’s been like this for years….when the game thinks it’s time for one team to score…it finds a way.” Despite the emergence of these two clips, and many more like it, the game’s developers are still yet to accept that scripting of some sort exists. That won’t stop players from wondering, though.

FIFA 22 TikTok reveals best celebration to make opponents rage quit EA SPORTSWant to really rub it in when you’re cruising in a game of FIFA 22? Well, there are a few celebrations that are seemingly guaranteed to make other players rage quit. Ever since EA SPORTS gave players the ability to freestyle with their own celebrations, some players have been turning their taunting all the way up to an 11. In years past, if you scored and broke out the Shush, Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Suii’ turn and jump, the ‘Calma’ hand signal, or the Tim Cahill corner flag boxing, you’d most likely be given a 3-0 win as the opponent would rage quit. Some of these more ‘toxic’ celebrations have been removed from FIFA by the developers, however, there are still plenty of ways to get your opponents truly raging and debating whether or not they should eat that automatic 3-0 defeat. Like with other games, FIFA fans have been sharing tips and tricks across TikTok, with many looking for a leg up on their opponents by any means necessary. In terms of a rage quit inducing celebration ala the iconic Shush, some players have found that the South Africa 2010 World Cup dance works wonders. “Works every time,” said TikToker fifartg26, with their post getting over 1 million views. Known in-game as the Dance and Spin, you can trigger the celebration by holding down the right trigger and then flicking the right stick twice to the right. Four players will line up and then copy Siphiwe Tshabalala’s iconic moves. https://www.tiktok.com/@fifartg26/video/7027913374230908166?_d=secCgwIARCbDRjEFSACKAESPgo8xX6VnR12wGweImvtQYW1cCPy03N2VIrYdNr3UXIm6z55bgRT11AAutFNhjZLqTFz1H2bfZPQfsMgSiGgA&checksum=1c50f52af6a98688042bcfe9ee106f6543b97358a4b6d4e51d723bbac252c833&language=en&preview_pb=0&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAA0RFoRvVP6bL5lev7bstz9EuEC8bNVn6bZJdrmVvww5Ug8XyV-holUSB8v3uo8Xi1&share_app_id=1233&share_item_id=7027913374230908166&share_link_id=9477CD34-C8C6-4491-A4F9-7E61A447905C&source=h5_m×tamp=1636659657&tt_from=copy&u_code=df7c96jm585jhm&user_id=6888375606317171717&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=copy&_r=1&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=7025897142854190597 For some players, they’d rather stick with the ‘Suii’ jump or the Alex Morgan teacup celebration, which will both work as well – provided you’re a few goals ahead in the game. Some players don’t want the rage quit on their record and will stick around as you tap in goal after goal but there are plenty of others who will quick move on.

FIFA 22 TikTok goes viral with worst ever reaction to packing Ronaldo EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Ultimate Team sees players earn coins and open packs in the hope of landing the best cards in the game. So it was perplexing to see a popular FIFA TikToker react in a calm, almost negative way towards packing Ronaldo in FUT. Despite being 36 years of age, Cristiano Ronaldo is still regarded as one of the greatest footballers in the world. His legacy already puts him in the conversation of being the football GOAT, but the Manchester United striker continues to score goals like younger players in their prime. His status and ability consistently earn him a fabulous FIFA 22 Ultimate Team card each season. FIFA 22 has proved no different with the forward having a very desirable 91-rated card with insanely high stats. The Black Friday promotion has seen a ton of FUT 22 promotions and pack offers, resulting in big players being pulled. FIFA TikTok lilp23gamer shared a video of them packing Ronaldo on TikTok. However, their reaction was not the excitement seen in many pack opening videos down the years. Instead of the player reveling in the fact they had just packed a card worth about 500-600K in the current market, they actually questioned one element of the card. “Oh, walkout! Portugue…Eurgh bro Ronaldo only has 34 defending?” they commented as the pack animation unfolded. Over the years, players have traditionally burst into a state of euphoria when packing Ronaldo. Yet, the player was more concerned with his low defending attribute. It’s a really strange reaction as defending is a stat that most players aren’t too concerned with when it comes to strikers. Yet, lilp23gamer wasn’t completely satisfied with the new addition to his club. It was certainly one of the more unusual reactions to packing Ronaldo that we’ve seen. For a frame of reference, Cristiano Ronaldo’s former Manchester United teammate Gerard Pique packed the Portuguese forward in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team — and he was far more impressed than lilp23.

FIFA 22 Team of the Year predictions: The Dexerto TOTY EA SPORTSDexerto’s Team of the Year XI has been picked ahead of the upcoming FIFA 22 TOTY promo in-game, with Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah, and Gianluigi Donnarumma named in our lineup. Christmas festivities are behind us and just like last year, we’ve compiled the 11 players that have excelled the most in world football over the course of the year. EA SPORTS will be opening the voting for Team of the Year at the beginning of 2022, usually in the form of a new website polling system, but that has not yet been opened. In the absence of confirmed nominees, we are left to look at the big moments of the year. Italy delivered the biggest upset in English football history, as Gareth Southgate’s men were beaten on penalties by Roberto Mancini’s undefeated Blues. The Champions League trophy returned to Chelsea, as new manager Thomas Tuchel delivered the club’s second European Cup with a stunning 1-0 performance against Manchester City, with Kai Havertz scoring the decisive winner. Across the major leagues on the continent, Man City, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Lille, and Inter Milan took home their domestic league titles – but who will make the cut in our Team of the Year? Contents FIFA 22 Team of the Year nominee picks Best Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma The outstanding goalkeeper of 2021 was Italy’s No.1, Gianluigi Donnarumma, fending off fierce competition from Ederson, Alisson Becker, and others. Standing at 6ft 5, the shot-stopper was an immovable object in Italy’s EURO 2020 victory, and as many of his fans in AC Milan predicted all those years ago, he’s looking like the next Gianluigi Buffon. With Lionel Messi joining him in Paris, there’s a chance that 2022 could be even more exciting as the French giants eye up their first Champions League victory. Best Defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold After the drama surrounding his omission from England’s pre-EURO teams, Trent Alexander-Arnold has undoubtedly stepped up another level for Liverpool. The defender has an average of an assist every two games in the Premier League, scoring two goals since the start of the season. On top of his clear attacking prowess, the defender has improved tremendously with his defensive duties and has benefitted from a more stable partnership with Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate. At this rate, he might – once again – break the record for assists from a defender in one league campaign. Antonio Rudiger One of the most improved defenders in world football, Antonio Rudiger’s solidity and even creativity on the ball has taken Chelsea’s backline up a notch. These qualities took the blue London club to their second European Cup and they have continued that defensive consistency in the Premier League since, with nine clean sheets in 19 matches – of which he’s featured in 18. In those matches, he’s scored two and assisted two, which won’t be surprising for those who watch Chelsea regularly, as he’s often darting up the field to join the attack. He’s fended off strong competition from Ruben Dias, Sergio Ramos, Giorgio Chiellini, and Thiago Silva for this slot in our team, but his transformation has been worthy of a Team of the Year place this year for sure. World-class. Leonardo Bonucci Between Chiellini and Bonucci – one of the greatest defensive partnerships of their generation – there needed to be some representation after their European Championship heroics. With eight clean sheets in the current Serie A season, four in the group stage of the Champions League, and a phenomenal international showing, we’ve gone with Bonucci in our FIFA 22 TOTY. Joao Cancelo Manchester City knew they were signing a good player when Cancelo came in during the 2019 summer transfer window, but not many will have expected such high quality in a variety of positions. It could be argued that he’s among the best in the world in both fullback posts and even as a midfielder, where he’s operated sparingly for Pep Guardiola. Defensively solid, runs around all day like a machine, and has progressively added more goals to his game as well. Joao Cancelo is an exceptional footballer. Best Midfielders N’Golo Kante Back to his best. N’Golo Kante has won a league title with the two clubs he’s played at during his time in England – Leicester City, Chelsea – and rounded off with a Champions League winners medal in 2021. Kante’s game has never looked so well-rounded, as a ball winner, passer, and even midfield attacker when needed. If he keeps playing like this, it won’t just be Team of the Year status that he can look forward to as even more trophies will be on the way. The Frenchman has, somehow, found another gear. Jorginho Kante’s teammate Jorginho has more high-profile accolades in 2021 than anybody on this list, after playing a pivotal role in Chelsea’s European success and Italy’s EURO victory. The midfielder was rated as the third-best player in the world during the Balon d’Or ceremony and comfortably takes a slot in this year’s Team of the Year. A lot of his goals may be penalties, but that shouldn’t take away from his achievements. Kevin De Bruyne Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfielder in the world, which earns him a spot in our FIFA 22 TOTY. The Belgian was included last year alongside Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Kimmich, but of the three he’ll be the lone survivor in the 2021 selections. Guardiola’s decision to not buy a striker might sound like a risk from the outside looking in, but Manchester City fans will know just how good De Bruyne and others can be in front of goal. The 30-year-old midfielder netted six goals and created 12 assists in their Premier League winning season, and he’s already scored five in the campaign so far – where they’re top of the tree despite Chelsea and Liverpool’s early form. Best Forwards Mohamed Salah The Egyptian king has been in the conversation of being the world’s best player since the start of 2021, but the end of the calendar year might mark the hottest run he’s been on in a red shirt. For Liverpool, he’s scored 15 and assisted nine others – meaning 22 goal involvements in 24 matches. The season before, he racked up 37 goal involvements in 51 appearances, too. While Mo Salah was not named in the top five players at the Balon d’Or ceremony this year, his consistency of goals and increasing influence on Jurgen Klopp’s revived team will no doubt lead to silverware this season. He’s perhaps the fastest elite attacker around right now, he’s the most lethal winger, and with those numbers, you just can’t leave him out of Team of the Year. Robert Lewandowski The goal machine that is Robert Lewandowski had to be picked. Just this season, he’s scored 30 goals in 25 matches across all competitions. Last season, that number was 48 goals across 40 games. To be hitting those numbers at the age of 33 is madness, really, and put him in contention for the Balon d’Or – where he fell short to Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi Speaking of which, Lionel Messi is the final player in our Team of the Year. In a year where he finally delivered the Copa America for Argentina and scooped the Balon d’Or to round off a season where he scored 38 goals in 67 games, it appears the Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry is starting to become a one-horse race. While Messi’s start to life at PSG hasn’t been very fruitful so far, the chances of him maintaining a slow goalscoring record are inconceivable. So… there you have it! Those are our picks for FIFA 22 Team of the Year 2021. Once players are able to vote, those will be counted and 11 players will be granted extremely upgraded cards in Ultimate Team, so watch this space.

How to complete FIFA 22 Talisca OTW SBC: solutions & cost EA SPORTSAfter leaving China’s Guangzhou FC for Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr Riad, Brazilian Anderson Talisca is getting a Ones to Watch card in FIFA 22. The jack-of-all-trades CF is likely to receive a few upgrades across the year, so check out his SBC below. Everyone will remember some of Talisca’s great cards from FIFA 17, 18, and 19 (that Carniball card was legendary). With the Brazilian forward now on the move in the recent transfer window though, EA SPORTS has bestowed him with the now-iconic Ones to Watch card. While he’s moving from China to Saudi Arabia, he’s still got a decent card to play around with early on in the game’s lifecycle. Being a OTW card too, it can only grow as he finds a spot in TOTW. Here’s how you can complete the FIFA 22 Talisca OTW SBC, with the cheapest possible solution. Anderson Talisca FIFA 22 Ones to Watch SBC Right off the bat, his 82 rated card might not inspire the most confidence in you. However, there’s some definite upsides to Talisca’s OTW (and therefore base) card. He has four-star skills and a four-star weak foot with a high attacking work rate, meaning he can slot well into a ST or CF position. Pair that with his 87 Long Shots stat (very strong in this FIFA) and 80+ Passing and Dribbling, and he’s a great edge-of-the-box player. Read More: How to complete FIFA 22 Andre Silva OTW SBC – You’ll want to slam a Hunter chem type on him to bring his Pace up to 90 (including 86 Sprint Speed), which will also add to his Finishing and Shot Power. If you want to forgo the Pace boost though, Marksman will increase his Long Shots to 97 with 91 Finishing. The biggest difficulty will be trying to get green links — you’ll have to either rotate him off the bench, or run a Brazilian forward three to make the most of his well-rounded stats. Talisca OTW SBC requirements Anderson Talisca # of players from Brazil: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 84 – Team Chemistry: Min 50 – # of players in the Squad: 11 – Talisca OTW SBC solution & cost While coins are precious this early into the game’s cycle, the Talisca OTW SBC will set you back around 14,000 to 16,000 coins, depending on platform. It’s a decent chunk for a 82-rated player, but there’s every chance he gets a few big upgrades this year. We’ve compiled the cheapest solution for the FIFA 22 Talisca OTW SBC below. You have until October 9 to complete the Talisca SBC and pick up the Brazilian for your squad. If you do complete the challenge, let us know how he performs on Twitter @UltimateTeamUK.

All the new FIFA 22 real player faces confirmed so far: Starheads update EA SPORTSFIFA 22 will have many improvements over its predecessor, including new face scans (Starheads) to make players look more realistic and keep them in line with their latest look. Here’s everything we know so far. EA SPORTS has already locked in some exciting new leagues, teams, and stadiums in FIFA 22. However, they’ve been busy adding new face scans (Starheads) too, which is something players look forward to in every new iteration. Last year, they added many new club-wide face scans for teams like Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Manchester City, Mallorca, and PSG to FIFA 21. Now, they’re building on that momentum and adding even more in FIFA 22. Here’s what’s been confirmed so far. Clubs So far, only two teams have confirmed their entire team rosters will receive new face scans in FIFA 22. Liverpool inadvertently confirmed the news in a hilarious YouTube video showing players having their faces scanned. Meanwhile, Leeds United was supposed to have it done in FIFA 21 but it got delayed until FIFA 22. Nevertheless, here’s a list of all the teams with new club-wide face scans confirmed. We’ll flesh it out with more teams the moment we have confirmation: Liverpool – Leeds United – Players In addition to the list of clubs with confirmed club-wide face scans, here’s a list of individual players from those clubs, as well as others, who have also been confirmed.

FIFA 22 Squad Battles glitch returns to give players easy rewards EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have another big job on their hands as FIFA 22 players have discovered a new Squad Battles glitches, which gives them insane rewards without putting the work in. This issue has plagued the game for the two previous entries, allowing Ultimate Team fans to capitalize on a bug where the AI doesn’t fight back after going a goal behind. Last year, the developers tried to stamp it out on numerous occasions with various hotfixes, though the community kept discovering new ways to make it work. In FIFA 22, the exploit is back and better than ever. FIFA 22 Squad Battles glitch explained Many FUT club owners will be wondering how to do the FIFA 22 Squad Battles glitch before it’s inevitably taken out of the game. Read More: How to complete FIFA 22 Pedro Flashback SBC – While we wouldn’t recommend getting coins in this way, it appears the process is just as easy as ever. On October 6, a Reddit post from user chummi17 revealed there is still a way to make the Squad Battles glitch work in-game. As seen in the video below, by taking to the corners and using ball rolls, the AI opponents refuse to press the ball. This means that, in theory, members of the community could win every single match after taking the lead with little to no opposition, maximizing their rewards. How does it work? The FIFA 22 Squad Battles glitch requires players to select World Class difficulty for their opponents. From there, they need to score a goal in the offline match. Once that has been achieved, moving the ball to a corner of the pitch and using the ball roll skill move will prevent opponents from pressing. Some are touting this as the easiest way to arrive in Elite 1 rank on Squad Battles, in which case they would receive 30,000 coins and two Rare Mega Packs. If you would like to know more about pack weight and odds of getting high-rated cards, check out our guide here.

FIFA 22 Squad Battles rewards: Ranks, release times & tips DexertoSquad Battles has become a classic option in FIFA Ultimate Team and FIFA 22 is no different. Here, we’re running through all ranks and rewards for the mode, from Bronze all the way through to Elite and the top 200 tiers. EA SPORTS introduced the Squad Battles game mode into FIFA Ultimate Team several years ago, and it’s become a regular part of the offline options in every FIFA since. That’s continued into FIFA 22, where players who prefer playing the AI can go up against a variety of squads that refresh weekly. The classic FIFA difficulties – Beginner to Ultimate – are available, meaning players of all skill can play Squad Battles. Combine the difficulty chosen with the number of matches played to determine your rank and rewards. Needless to say, the best rewards are reserved for players who play the most matches at the highest difficulties. While far from as popular as Division Rivals or FUT Champions, EA have again made Squad Battles an integral part of unlocking Swaps Tokens. It can be tiresome to grind through 12-minute matches versus the AI but time invested improves rewards. As a result, plenty of players are playing for the rewards which now include Prime ICON Moments cards. With FIFA 23 hype building up, the rewards will only improve even more in FIFA 22’s closing months. Contents When do FIFA 22 Squad Battles rewards come out in FIFA 22? Squad Battle Rewards in FIFA 22 work the same way as they did in previous titles. They release every Sunday morning at 7:00 AM UTC and will be better the higher you climb up the ranks.

They’re not as good as the prizes in online modes, but players who prefer offline FIFA can earn some solid rewards if they’re happy to play the AI repeatedly. Whether they’re worth the time is ultimately up to the player, but FIFA 23 appears set to reduce the length of Squad Battles matches in a change that will surely be welcomed. We will update this page depending on any changes EA choose to make to Squad Battles and the rewards the mode distributes.

FIFA 22 Skill Moves guide: Best skills to learn, five-star skillers EA SPORTSIf you want to style on your opponents, then you best learn the FIFA 22 skill moves. There are a few new ones this year to try, and we’ve got a list on how to pull them all off, the best ones you should add to your game, and some five-star skillers you should buy. Skill moves are an integral part of FIFA 22 — if you want to get consistent attacks off, you will need a repertoire of them to use to get past defenders. While the (somewhat) slower pace of the game puts less of an emphasis on them, when you’re stuck in the box, a quick flick of the stick could get you into space. Here’s all you need to know about skill moves in FIFA 22, including all the commands, the best ones you need to learn, and the five-star skillers that can do it all. All new skills moves in FIFA 22 Four skill moves have been added in FIFA 22. They are all pretty advanced, coming in at four and five-star, but most of them will definitely become staples in the meta (especially the Skilled Bridge and Scoop Turn Fake). Skilled Bridge (4-star): Hold L2/LT + Double Tap R1/RB – Four Touch Turn (4-star): Hold L2/LT + Flick RS Back + Flick RS Back – Scoop Turn Fake (4-star): Hold LS in the opposite direction after doing a forward Scoop Turn – First Time Spin (5-star): Hold L1/LB + R1/RB as the ball comes towards the player first time – The thing with skill moves in FIFA 22 is — for the most part — the direction corresponds to the way your player is facing. Be sure to be mindful of this when inputting your controls, and if you’re not sure, practice! 1-star skill moves in FIFA 22 2-star skill moves in FIFA 22 3-star skill moves in FIFA 22 4-star skill moves in FIFA 22 5-star skill moves in FIFA 22 5-star juggling tricks in FIFA 22 The best FIFA 22 skill moves to learn When it comes down to it, if you want to become the best at FIFA 22, you’ll need to incorporate some skill moves into your play. There’s some great picks from past generations that you should look at learning. The La Croqueta is still one of the best moves at opening up space in front of goal, even if the cancel has been removed. The Bridge is also great, giving you a burst of acceleration to get around defenders. Read More: How does Chemistry work in FIFA 22? – However, all of the new skill moves are great weapons to add into your arsenal. The Skilled Bridge is a step-up on a regular Bridge, while the Scoop Turn Fake will have you breaking ankles. The First Time Spin is dead simple to learn too, and can help distract defenders when you get the ball at your feet. Finally, if you want to really style on your opponents, learn the Elastico and Rainbow Flick — it’s quite possibly the most BM (but still effective) way of getting past defenders. The best way to learn these skill moves is by taking them into the Practice Arena and getting a feel for them before incorporating them into your game. Top five-star skillers in FIFA 22 If you were hoping to pull off some five-star skills with Messi, you might have to wait until later in FIFA 22. The new PSG recruit only has four-star skills — however the same cannot be said for teammates Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Angel Di Maria, who all have five-star skills. There are a number of Ultimate Team ICONs who have access to five-star skills including Diego Maradona, Pele, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo (R9), and Ronaldinho. We’ve compiled a list of the top five-star skillers (excluding ICONs) below, but there’s about 75 all up (Fun fact: The lowest rated five-star skiller is 67 rated).

FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series: Release date & featured players EA SportsEA Sports has revealed the most unique FIFA 22 promo to date, placing silver cards in the spotlight. Here’s everything we know so far about the FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series event. FIFA 22 has seen its fair share of promotions already, with the likes of Road to the Final and Headliners giving players even more special cards to develop their team. Many of EA’s events are FUT staples, but every now and again, they like to throw in a curveball to keep the community guessing. The next FIFA 22 promo is the Silver Stars Series, a campaign that concentrates on the game’s silver items. Here’s everything we know so far about FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series, from its release date to the players that could feature. Contents FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series release date As confirmed by EA, Silver Stars Series will kick off on Friday, February 25, 2022, with the first cards up for grabs at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT. However, this campaign is staggering the release of its cards, rather than dropping them all at once. So, make sure to check back every day at the same time to see what else is new. FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series explained 🚨Is a very confusing concept. As i said, we should see like 2-3 Silver Stars cards being added everyday. They are thematics: Friday -> BRAsilvers Saturday -> Speedsters Sunday -> FRAsilvers Monday -> Powerhouse Tuesday -> Silver Foxes Wednesday -> Two Footed#FIFA22— Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) February 24, 2022 Much like regular Silver Stars that feature in FIFA 22, Silver Stars Series players will be 74-rated with stats that dwarf those of other cards in that rarity. It appears the promo will take both players that are currently high-rated and drop them down to silver, and give boosts to some who are under 74 originally. In fact, some of the bigger names set to be featured will receive Flashbacks to their own Silver cards before they hit the big time. According to FutSheriff, each day will see a new handful of Silver Stars added, each in keeping with a specific theme. For example, they claim that Friday will start the event off with Brazilan Silvers, then Saturday will focus on “speedsters.” FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series new packs ✅The triple 71-74 Players pack will come tomorrow. Isn’t the only silver upgrade coming. Will update more by tomorrow!#fifa22 — Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) February 24, 2022 Silvers don’t tend to receive the same variety of promo packs as their Gold counterparts, but that could all be set to change. To give FUT fans a better chance of securing one of these new items, EA will allegedly be adding some new packs to be opened. For the time being, we only know about a 71 – 74 Triple Players pack, likely to be earned through an SBC. We’ll update this section with other brand-new packs that hit the store. FIFA 22 Silver Stars Series players Players included in the event will be earned through daily objectives and SBCs.

This was the day that Ultimate TOTS ended, and just like we expected, players were thrown straight into Shapeshifters with no letup. The first team of Shapeshifters hit packs at 6 PM BST and will remain there for a full week. A second team will follow on Friday, June 24 at the same time. What is FIFA 22 Shapeshifters? Despite its absence in FIFA 21, Shapeshifters is a popular promo among the FUT community as it sees big-name players moving out of their preferred position. These can range from conventional moves like a full-back switching to a winger, to more unusual changes like a center-back playing as a striker. The cards are also heavily boosted to make them great options in their new position. In the past, we’ve seen the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold move into midfield and even N’Golo Kante drop into defense. The idea is to open up new possibilities and Chemistry links to help players build weird and wonderful squads. As we move into the end of FIFA 22’s lifecycle, Shapeshifters is exactly the kind of quirky concept that will keep players occupied until FIFA 23 releases.

FIFA 22 “scripting” glitch won’t let ball cross goal line EA SportsA FIFA 22 player’s clip of a ball that refuses to cross the goal line has fans calling foul, and even accusing the game of “scripting.” Scripting is a common complaint among FIFA players, and while there’s actually no definitive proof it exists, clips like this make it hard to argue the contrary. Basically, scripting is a theory among the FIFA community that claims momentum shifts in matches affect the difficulty to score goals. While we can’t say for sure that’s what’s going on here, it certainly is an intersting clip, to say the least. Ball “refuses” to go into goal during FIFA 22 online match Posted by user reclining_buddah in the FIFA subreddit, the clip shows a keeper coming down with the ball right on the goal line. However, when it reaches the line itself, it’s literally as if there’s an invisible wall in the way, preventing it from going in and scoring. On top of that it even passes through the keeper’s knee, simply refusing to cross over. Buddah didn’t call it scripting themself, but plenty of other players in the comments were quick to claim it was. However, one user pointed out that it could be an intended feature, instead of a glitch or EA falsely making games more competitive than they should be. “There was an issue last year where people could easily score by running into the keeper on stuff like this, and the solution then was just to make it a red card,” one user replied. “Guessing this was added this year to avoid having to keep that.” So, while it might look like EA is intentionally making it more difficult to score to make the game more exciting in this clip, it could actually be an intended feature to keep players from cheesing the keeper.

FIFA 22 Career Mode scouting guide: Youth Academy, GTN tips & tricks EA SPORTS / DexertoWant to build a top-tier roster in FIFA 22 Career Mode but don’t have the budget to pull it off? You’ll need to scout out players yourself, and there’s a formula you can follow to make the process easier. FIFA 22 players have new tools at their disposal to develop their Career Mode squad, including more ways to boost manager and player ratings. However, if you’re serious about developing a top-tier roster without spending a fortune, you’ll need to learn how to scout like a professional and use two classic features: the Youth Academy and Global Transfer Network. In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to get the most out of these features and develop a system that will rival the best teams in the world. FIFA 22 Career Mode Youth Academy guide In FIFA 22, you will be automatically assigned a scout with different experience and judgment ratings based on your club. You can assign another two scouts, meaning you can have three in total at any given point in time. They will traverse the world looking for the hottest youth prospects. And once they’ve found a few, you can bring them back to your club, train them up, and eventually promote them to your first team if you think they’ll cut it. As far as tips go, you’ll want to make sure you’re actively using your scouts at all times. Keep sending them on scouting missions, particularly the more expensive ones if you can afford it, and don’t stop throughout the season. If they scout a player who has over 90 potential, pick them up immediately. On the other hand, if they scout a player who has less than 80 potential, discard them unless you think they’ll make an impact in your squad. Don’t forget to keep track of their value, too. If they have a high value, chances are they’ll have a high overall rating even if their potential isn’t the best. So, you might want to pick them up and put them to immediate use. And of course, don’t forget to develop players using the new training system. You can specialize their training regime to suit your needs. However, it’s also essential to build on their strengths and weaknesses. FIFA 22 Career Mode Global Transfer Network guide The Global Transfer Network (GTN) also plays an integral part in the scouting process. It lets you use scouts to look at specific regions and scope out talent on other teams and find hidden gems that they’re willing to part ways with. The higher level your scout is, the more efficient they’ll be. Not only will they find more players, but they’ll also do it faster, too, and provide you with extensive reports on them in no time at all. And once you’ve got a specific player in mind, you can scout them further to reveal their full potential. The GTN system can be a little overwhelming at first. So, to make things easier, focus on a specific region or scout at a time and give them detailed instructions. For example, if you’re after a promising young winger with pace, let them know. Once you get later into your Career Mode — like 5 years or so — scouting for regen players (created by the game) is key to spot rising stars, so be sure to constantly look out for those prospects. That’s everything you need to know about scouting in FIFA 22 Career Mode. It will take time and effort to build a world-class squad from the ground up. However, if you follow this guide, you’ll get there in no time at all. And the best part is, you’ll keep your club’s finances in check.

FIFA 22 Rulebreakers revealed: Haaland, Casemiro, Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger EA SPORTSPopular FIFA 22 Rulebreakers promo is here, right on schedule, as spooky season falls across Ultimate Team on the eve of Halloween, and we’ve got everything you need to know — start date, early FUT leaks, upgrades, and more. The Halloween holidays are fast approaching, and that means FIFA 22 is set to hit a spooky new gear with the next Ultimate Team promo — “Rulebreakers.” In years past, EA SPORTS would celebrate the end of October (and, of course, Halloween) with the “Ultimate Scream” promo, turning popular FUT stars into terrifying meta beasts with stat changes and live upgrades based on the full moon. Last year, however, they pivoted to a new event, Rulebreakers, and changed the game for the promo. The new event sees players handed monster stat boosts in one or two front-facing attributes, depending on what EA SPORTS wants to upgrade. This can turn a slow striker like Harry Kane into a pace-heavy powerhouse. Dexerto expects FIFA 22 will stick to the same formula in 2021, handing out just over a dozen upgrades for FUT’s biggest stars. Here’s what we know. FIFA 22 Rulebreakers cards It’s time to change the game 🔓#Rulebreakers: Players given permanent stat adjustments that transform them into entirely new kinds of stars Find out more: https://t.co/743uqJrcPn#FUT #FIFA22 pic.twitter.com/YUrdlN9vvv — EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) October 29, 2021 Rulebreakers FIFA 22 start date The next FIFA 22 event, Rulebreakers, is nearly here. Dexerto can reveal EA SPORTS is preparing to drop a batch of special Halloween cards in Ultimate Team on Friday, October 29 to kick-start the spooky-season promo. We’re expecting a first real look at the team at 6pm GMT. Keep tuned on our Twitter accounts, @DexertoFC and @FutWatch, to see all the breaking news. Early Rulebreakers leaks The wait goes on — as of early October 28, we haven’t gotten an exact confirmation on the Rulebreakers cards. However, a first glimpse at three of them have been revealed via the FUT loading screen. RW with 88 Pace and 86 Shooting – English Liverpool player with 90 Pace – 86-rated Austrian with 89 Dribbling – A leak on TikTok circulating with cards like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Maguire, and Robert Lewandowski don’t 100% match with the in-game teasers. More teasers are expected in the last 24 hours before the promo. Dexerto is expecting EA SPORTS to give Ultimate Team players a handful of early hints, including card ratings, stats boosts, and the nationalities of more Rulebreaker upgrades. How do Rulebreaker cards work? Unlike the live FUT cards we got in the Ones to Watch and Road to the Knockouts events recently, Rulebreakers is a lot simpler — these special cards will have one stat boosted through the roof on release. EA SPORTS usually strives to turn popular players with less-than-meta cards into usable options. That means Pace and Dribbling are often the main boosts. Our FIFA 22 Rulebreakers predictions Events like Rulebreakers are a little tricky to predict card-wise because it’s really at the whims of EA SPORTS when it comes to who they eventually pick. That said, the FIFA publishers have gotten pretty repetitive in the last few years. They generally dip into a pool of popular players for promos because they know they can drive pack sales with all the biggest names. That means we can look back at FIFA 21’s event for clues. Here are last year’s Rulebreaker cards: Angel Di Maria — 88 – Romelu Lukaku — 87 – Paul Pogba — 87 – Marco Reus — 87 – Jose Gimenez — 86 – Juan Cuadrado — 84 – Hakan Çalhanoğlu — 83 – Daniel Podence — 83 – Alex Teixeira — 83 – Patrick Van Anholt — 83 – Ike Opara — 82 – So there you have it — everything we know about FIFA 22’s returning Rulebreakers promo. Dexerto is expecting several spooky player SBCs and there will also be a deluge of packs and objectives during the promo too. We’ll keep you updated on all the latest developments right here.

FIFA 22 Rulebreakers leaked on TikTok: Alexander-Arnold, Kessie, Coutinho EA SPORTSJust days after FIFA 22 Rulebreakers was confirmed as the next Ultimate Team promo, a number of cards have leaked on TikTok – including Harry Maguire, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and more. Rulebreakers is this year’s Halloween-themed event in Ultimate Team, starting up this October.

FIFA 22 Road to the Final tracker: All confirmed upgrades EA SportsFIFA 22 Road to the Final cards are here, giving the likes of Sadio Mane, Gareth Bale, and Presnel Kimpembe, huge upgrades as they progress through their European campaign. Here are all of the confirmed upgrades so far for each and every RTTF player. Road to the Final is one of the most exciting dates on the FIFA calendar, and FIFA 22 has proved it once again. This year’s RTTF has really delivered, providing players with some top-tier cards to build their team with. But the beauty of Road to the Final is the way they grow over the course of the season, as the teams represented progress through the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. Keeping track of all the upgrades as teams are eliminated can be a messy business, so we’ve created a simple tracker of each Road to the Final card, and how they have been boosted so far. Contents FIFA 22 Road to the Final current ratings FIFA 22 Road to the Final players start off with pretty impressive cards, but they can grow into absolute monsters if their team reaches the latter stages of their respective tournaments. Below are all of the current ratings for FIFA 22 RTTF players, as well as the latest round of the competition they have reached: How do FIFA 22 Road to the Final upgrades work? Road to the Final upgrades are fairly simple, each card has five different opportunities to receive a boost to its overall rating and stats. These require the player’s team to reach the next stage of whichever European competition they are playing in. They will be upgraded if the team: Wins the first knockout game after the RTTF promo started (+1) – Reaches the Quarter-Final (+1) – Reaches the Semi-Final (+1) – Reaches the Final (+1) – Wins the tournament (+2) – When you break it down like this, it’s easy to see just how overpowered any one of these RTTF items could be. If they go all the way and win the cup, they could receive a maximum upgrade of +6. This would mean that Sadio Mane, for example, would end up being a 98-rated player. It’s also worth noting that these upgrades are only impacted by the team’s performance, not the player shown on the card. So even if a player is on the bench, out injured, or even suspended, they will still receive a boost if their club does the business and reaches the next stage. For more live FIFA 22 cards, check out our trackers for Ones to Watch and Headliners to see if any other items in your Ultimate Team are due for a rating boost.

This time, we’re charting the path of all the world’s most famous players as they battle their way through three European competitions for a spot in the knockout stages. This will include heavyweight teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool in the Champions League, as well as lower competition like the newly-formed Conference League.

FIFA 22 review – EA SPORTS learns gameplay is king EA SPORTSFIFA 22 is the first in the series to launch day one Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, so the pressure is on for EA SPORTS to deliver. Its developers have touted it as the game they’ve always wanted to make with Hypermotion Technology, but is it one that players will enjoy? Ultimate Team has seen its ICON roster expanded as normal, but this time with an extension of FUT Heroes. It features a brand-new method for FUT Champions Weekend League qualification and different ranked rewards for those who make it to the big leagues. Career Mode has been given a significant overhaul, with an option called Create-A-Club, allowing players to build themselves a football club from the ground-up – something we’ve wanted for years. Responding to feedback from FIFA 21, EA has added a boatload of animations and storylines to Player Career as well, which could make for a more immersive experience. The last few months have been promising. You can feel the excitement building on social media, as people sniff around for every leak, detail, and change they can find for their favorite modes. There’s a great deal of optimism, too, as we come to the beginning of a new cycle for virtual football. Even still, there is a consensus among those fans that gameplay makes or breaks things this year. Like a club bringing in a new manager, EA has said all the right things, but will it deliver results? FIFA 22 key details Review copy: FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition – Price: $99.99 – Release date: October 1 (Standard Edition), September 27 (Ultimate Edition) – Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch – FIFA 22 trailer FIFA 22 gameplay review The autopsy has been completed for FIFA 21, and the gameplay was the cause of death. Awful auto-blocks, dreadful passing, and a tackling system whereby you very rarely win the ball in most cases was a recipe for disaster. The end of a cycle usually comes with ill-feeling about the current title and optimism for the next, granted, but this was the worst endgame I’ve ever seen in terms of community responses. With FIFA 22, EA SPORTS was compelled to redefine a lot of those features – and they have. If you’re a player who prefers realistic gameplay over an arcade-style free-for-all of goals, Hypermotion Technology delivers on that wish. When you hear over 4,000 new animations are being introduced you may reply: “We’ve heard this all before”, but the difference is night and day. Passing was abysmal in FIFA 21. Nevertheless, that has been rectified with a real focus on ground passes, lob passes, lob through balls, and semi-assisted through passes along with a new animation refresh. It’s not absolutely perfect by any means, but the ability to use Y/Triangle in general play is back. You don’t have to worry as much about directions being way off, or the game not correctly registering the power of your attempt. Passing is certainly much more accurate now, which is a huge plus and an instant benefit of Hypermotion Tech. This also complements crossing. Read More: FIFA 22 fastest players list – Defending appears to have more layers to it, but it’s made simpler overall. The new shoulder challenges (press O/B when contesting a header) are very effective and are even useful as a big striker trying to make it stick. Manual blocking is a major bonus, with automated blocks experiencing a huge nerf this year – a change everyone will welcome. Defenders are also generally stronger in 1v1 duels, with a buff to the jockeying feature allowing them to keep up with tricksters more effectively. For more defensive-minded players like myself, it’s a big win. Now, onto attacking. The plethora of fresh animations means you can score goals you never have in a FIFA game, and the conversions feel less repetitive because of how varied the types of finishes are. EA has reduced the conversion rate of shots taken with defenders putting pressure on the ball, which is good. Shooting is more consistent in 1v1 situations, with short-range across goal finishes and long-range finesse shots appearing to be very strong in early testing. On the flip side, goalkeepers are a bit frantic with their save styles – unorthodox is probably the word. In some cases, you will see goalkeepers get a glove on a shot only for it to fly in any way, but that’s balanced out with a mix of hard and soft connections with the ball. In FIFA 21, some saves would send the ball flying towards the corner flag like a baseball, whereas we now have gentler handling which sees ‘keepers tuck shots around the post, or parry them in different directions. Again, it’s not perfect, but a step in the right direction. Read More: Kena Bridge of Spirits review – If you’re one for graphics, animations, and for enjoying the production value of the game, there are some things to point out. The new commentary additions of Alex Scott and Stewart Robson are refreshing, providing good insight during games. Replays are faster in general, taking up really good angles, while match statistics and analysis is as detailed as it’s ever been, with a new heatmap and conversion figures available during and after matches. Though, for the big moments – the last-minute winners, or screamers from places you don’t have a right to score from – the commentary is sometimes a bit underwhelming. Walkout animations are a little robotic, though it is nice to see the inclusion of children as matchday mascots as a new addition this year. Ultimate Team Ultimate Team is the game’s most popular mode and it has been improved this year in big ways. The Team of the Week promo wasn’t too exciting in FIFA 21, and the dev team has responded with a new featured bonus for some players each week – meaning they can be upgraded higher than usual. That should give us all something to look out for, on top of the TOTW news itself. The introduction of more ICONs like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, along with a string of other iconic players in the form of FUT Heroes, gives players more special edition cards to collect. The latter will be upgraded over time, too. Read More: FIFA 22 early access & FUT Web App guide – It’s way too early to judge the revamped FUT Champions Weekend League model, with a longer qualifying process and different rewards this year. In theory, though, the new points system (4 points for a win, 1 point for a loss) and ranks will ensure more people get better rewards, which is a victory for those of us grinding it out every weekend. On top of that, EA has listened to the community and dropped the FUT Champs games count down to 20. These are all positive tweaks, on paper. By completing SBCs, playing your Squad Battles matches (unchanged, by the way), competing in Division Rivals, and the new FUT Champs competition… there’s a lot to keep club owners entertained. Career Mode Career Mode has two standout features this year for players to try out – a refined Player Career, and Create-A-Club. Player Career has been given a boost with The Journey-style animations and cutscenes, adding layers to the experience of controlling your career game by game. Manager rating is also a new element, showing how impressive or disappointing your performances have been from the gaffer’s perspective. For a relatively untouched mode in recent times, it’s all positive. As a massive fan of the series’ Manager Mode, Create-A-Club was very highly anticipated. This is a chance to step out of your comfort zone and do something different, by creating an all-new club in your vision and take over as manager. Stadium upgrades, custom board expectations, and increased customization of kits or stadiums are the stuff we’ve wanted for years. Read More: NBA 2k22 review – However, it’s very much just customization at this stage. It is essentially a hybrid between Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team’s stadium feature, without any narrative or storyline which is a real shame. After spending the best part of 40 minutes creating the club (called Red Bull Wakefield), my manager, the ground, editing how I want the fans to sing, and everything else – then came the normal pre-season routine. With each signing you make, you realize the cutscenes are much smoother and swifter. All of these improvements to my squad and training for our first League 2 clash was building, to welcome the new fans to their new team. That’s all brilliant. Based on the complexities of the Anfield walkout animations or Champions League Final buildup, you would expect the same level of narrative or cutscenes to make this a special moment. But it wasn’t. A very bog-standard welcome from the commentary team appears and then you’re plunged into the action. This will likely be somewhat underwhelming for Career Mode players, and I’d actually argue a more authentic experience comes with managing a real team. Perhaps with it being a new feature, that will come in time. FIFA 22 review score: 8.5/10 EA SPORTS has undoubtedly listened to the community in developing FIFA 22, as seen in the gameplay rework and addition of several single-player features. The developers are often accused of prioritizing Ultimate Team over Career as it’s the big money-maker, and to some extent, those claims have been justified in recent years. The major setback is that there is no cross-play for those on the same type of console, but different generations. It’s 2021 – those barriers should still not be up. However, with this entry, they have worked to change that perception and focus on the areas fans care about. Whether these popular adjustments will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but my general feeling is that – while not perfect – the series is heading in the right direction once again. FIFA 22 offers the franchise an exciting start to life on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, with drastically improved gameplay. Complementary features aside in Career, Pro Clubs, and Ultimate Team, that was the dealbreaker and with Hypermotion Technology, EA Sports has delivered. Reviewed on Xbox Series X

FIFA 22 Road to the Final predicitons: Players, teams & upgrades EA SportsRoad to the Final is expected to be the next promo heading to FIFA 22, but which Champions League stars will be included? Here are our best FIFA 22 Road to the Final predictions. Live cards have become commonplace in the FIFA series, and FIFA 22 is no different. The likes of Ones to Watch and Headliners can evolve from SBC fodder into meta cards over the course of the year. FIFA 22’s next promo, Road to the Final, hands players one of these live cards, tied specifically to how their team performs in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, or Europa Conference League. If their club is lucky enough to reach the latter stages of the tournament, then RTTF cards can become some of the best in the entire game. But who could be featured in the Road to the Final event this time around? These are our best predictions. Contents FIFA 22 Road to the Final player predictions Unlike the Team of the Group Stage players that dropped back in 2021, Road to the Final cards aren’t dished out based on performance. This means the devs have free reign to handpick the stars they think will appeal most to the FUT community. It’s also worth noting that they tend to avoid anyone who has already received a live card, such as a Headliner or Ones to Watch. With this in mind, these are the players we’re expecting to see in FIFA 22 Road to the Final: UCL Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) – Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid) – Paulo Dybala (Juventus) – Sadio Mane (Liverpool) – Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich) – Presnel Kimpembe (PSG) – Palhinha (Sporting Lisbon) – Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) – Ferland Mendy (Real Madrid) – Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan) – Kai Havertz (Chelsea) – Pau Torres (Villareal) – Renato Sanches (LOSC Lille) – Rafa (Benfica) – David Neres (Ajax) – Karim Adeyemi (RB Salzburg) – Europa League Adama Traore (Barcelona) – Ryan Kent (Rangers) – Anthony Martial (Sevilla) – Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund) – Pepe (Porto) – Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Leipzing) – Europa Conference League Tammy Abraham (Roma) – Ricardo Pereira (Leicester City) – Steve Mandanda (Marseille) – FIFA 22 Road to the Final represented teams FIFA 22 Road to the Final will include players from every team who scraped through to the knockout stages of each European competition. Every club in the Champions League will have at least one representative, as well as a selection of big names from the Europa League and Conference League. Here’s every fixture in the first round of the knockout stages, so you know which clubs are going to make up the next promo: Champions League Red Bull Salzburg vs Bayern Munich – Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United – Villareal vs Juventus – Inter Milan vs Liverpool – PSG vs Real Madrid – Sporting Lisbon vs Manchester City – Benfica vs Ajax – Chelsea vs LOSC Lille – Europa League Barcelona vs Napoli – Borussia Dortmund vs Rangers – Sevilla vs Dinamo Zagreb – RB Leipzig vs Real Sociedad – Zenit vs Real Betis – FC Sheriff vs Braga – Atalanta vs Olympiacos – Porto vs Lazio – Europa Conference League The Europa Conference League still has playoff games to be completed before the full knockout stage lineup is confirmed. While those matches are played out, here are the teams that have already booked a spot: Roma – Linzer ASK – Gent – AZ Alkmaar – Feyenoord – Copenhagen – Stade Rennes – FC Basel – Those were our predictions for the FIFA 22 Road to the Final promo, for more on this year’s game be sure to check out our other guides: Best FIFA 22 Ultimate Team strikers | Player ratings | FUT Hero cards in Ultimate Team | FIFA 22 ICONs list & Hero cards | FIFA 22 Career Mode features | Best FIFA 22 Goalkeepers

FIFA 22 removes Russia clubs and items, but EA forgot something EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has made a stand to remove content related to Russia from FIFA 22, though players have noticed the developers have not completed the job fully yet. On March 2, just days after Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, Electronic Arts made a statement confirming that Russia would be taken out of its sports video games. Both FIFA 22 and NHL 22 were impacted by the action, as the dev studios behind both series “initiated processes” to take out selected items. The publisher also stopped sales of FIFA and Apex Legends in the territory soon after. Five days later, an alert appeared in Ultimate Team stating that player items from Russian clubs, kit items, and related stadiums, as well as its national team, would be erased. However, it appears that there’s still some way to go before it’s all gone. FIFA 22 Russia content still appearing in-game EA SPORTS holds an agreement for the licensing of the UEFA Champions League, meaning that the European competitions ran by the footballing body appear in their games. This includes not just official logos and theme songs but also mirrors the sponsorships fans see when watching matches across Europe, in-game. One of those is, of course, the Russia-based gas industry company Gazprom. UEFA ended its official partnership with the Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation on February 28, following the country’s military action against Ukraine. While Russian teams and stadiums are now unusable in FIFA 22, it appears that developers haven’t yet got round to sponsorships, as Gazprom still features on electronic advertising boards. Following some testing, it appears the boards only appear in Career Mode and have been removed from Kick-Off. Other sponsors include Pepsi Max, Hotels.com, and UEFA Foundation. Read More: FIFA 22 TOTW 25 revealed – In their previous statement, EA said: “EA SPORTS stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine.” The message included a reference to “actively evaluating related changes to other areas” of their games, meaning it’s likely only a matter of time before Gazprom’s promotional material is ripped down.

FIFA 22 removes Mason Greenwood amid investigation as his FUT price rockets EA SPORTSManchester United footballer Mason Greenwood was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault on January 31, and just days later EA SPORTS have made the decision to remove him from FIFA 22. On January 30, a number of social media posts started to circulate after being shared to the Instagram Story of his ex-girlfriend. In them, she is bleeding, covered in bruises, or attempting to avoid his attempts to coerce her into sex against her will. The story quickly picked up globally, with Manchester United declaring in a statement that he was suspended from training or playing with the club until further notice. With other sponsoring brands such as Cadbury and Nike announcing their plans to distance themselves from the player, EA look to be doing the same in the latest FIFA 22 update. Mason Greenwood FUT 22 card price skyrockets In the February 1 update, players were quick to notice that Greenwood had been removed from all offline modes and no longer appeared in Manchester United’s squad list. Despite this, Greenwood remains usable in FIFA Ultimate Team, where he has actually skyrocketed in value since allegations first started to surface. After news initially broke, it didn’t take long for the price hike to start in Ultimate Team. As pointed out by iamkoshiek on Twitter, Greenwood’s price saw a 300% increase in the hours following news breaking. Mason Greenwood’s price on FIFA ultimate team is up 300% since this AM… we live in a sick society pic.twitter.com/TC0vPcxlMF — Koshiek Karan (@iamkoshiek) January 30, 2022 Since the above tweet, Greenwood’s price on Xbox has actually dropped slightly, but on PlayStation and PC, he’s still selling for up to 10,000 coins. With many predicting this to be the end of 20-year-old Greenwood’s career, it may well be the last time he’s ever in a FIFA game.

FIFA 22 Record Breaker cards: Confirmed players, SBC & Objectives EA SPORTSEA SPORTS will periodically release FIFA 22 Record Breaker cards in-game, which can be obtained by completing SBCs or Objectives. The FUT promo card is different from many others in the popular football title, as it runs right throughout the year and is inconsistent in terms of its prominence. It all depends on what’s happening on the actual pitch, in terms of players scoring goals, keeping record numbers of clean sheets, or appearances. So, let’s take a look at how the promo works, and which cards have been released so far by EA… When are FIFA 22 Record Breaker cards out?

FIFA 22 is finally relegating players in Division Rivals as new season begins EA SPORTSEA SPORTS are finally relegating FIFA 22 players in Division Rivals ahead of Season 2 as part of the season’s soft reset. However, don’t expect in-season relegations any time soon, with no changes to the feature coming in the latest update. FIFA 22 included no shortage of reworks and overhauls to the game’s mechanics, and Division Rivals (plus FUT Champions) was no exception. While most changes landed well within the community, the removal of relegations in Division Rivals did not. Previously, Division Rivals worked on a skill rating system, allowing you to freely promote and demote through divisions depending on results. The ladder system introduced in FIFA 22 added checkpoints that players cannot fall below though, and those checkpoints have concerned players who believe they’re playing above their skill level constantly. In FUT Season 2, EA SPORTS is heeding the community’s calls for relegations — somewhat. Every player, from Elite to Division 8, will be relegated in some capacity when the November 11 update launches. However, it’ll only be a soft reset at the start of the season, and no-in season relegations are being added. Players from Elite to Division 6 will be relegated two tiers, while those in Divisions 7 and 8 will drop by one. Division 9 and 10 players will stay where they are. “There’s a progression reset at the start of each new FUT season, but it’s not a full reset,” developer Joel Doonan said on November 9. The addition of this reset to Division Rivals isn’t exactly new — EA SPORTS mentioned it was coming each FUT season in their pre-release pitch notes. And the reset isn’t exactly what players have been calling for. Some are now opting to play other FIFA 22 modes, or drop the game entirely, because they feel they cannot compete fairly in Division Rivals without relegations. With FUT Season 2 approaching, we’ve been seeing a lot of discussion on how this will impact FUT Champions/Rivals.@DoonansNDragons joins @zaro for some rapid fire questions to get you set for Thursday ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/Q8Ot9ezh4V — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) November 9, 2021 FIFA 22 Division Rivals progression will change in FUT Season 2 While relegation may not be changing, promotion and the ladder system will be for some FIFA 22 players. Doonan confirmed there will be adjustments for players in Division 5, 6, 7, and 9 in FUT Season 2. However, the exact details have not been finalized ahead of the season start. There will also be an increase in milestone rewards in Division Rivals, but no changes to weekly rewards are coming, and neither to FUT Champions. We will confirm this once the update launches. FUT Season 2 will begin on Nov. 11 at 8am UTC, immediately after Season 1 ends.

FIFA 22 Pro Clubs finally adds new option to build women’s teams EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has announced that FIFA 22 will include ‘Female Virtual Pros’ that players will be able to customize and create in the Pro Clubs game mode. Although Ultimate Team has been by far the most popular mode in recent FIFA titles, Pro Clubs isn’t too far behind. The community loves jumping into the mode to create and customize their very own virtual pro. Despite this, all the way up to FIFA 21, players were limited to a male footballer while playing Pro Clubs. Well, looking to make the game more inclusive in their next title in the franchise, EA has announced that female virtual pros will be available to create in FIFA 22. According to EA, they’re aiming to make FIFA 22 the most “inclusive edition of the FIFA franchise to date”. This Pro Clubs feature is certainly an incredible start and will give players a lot more freedom when it comes to creating a pro in the mode. Read More: EA finally reveals FIFA 22 gameplay – It’s worth noting that is a feature a lot of FIFA players have been asking for, so it’s great to see EA responding to the feedback and adding it into the game. With the new title set to arrive in October, it’ll be interesting to see if EA has any other inclusive features they plan to reveal to players ahead of FIFA 22’s release.

FIFA 22 Prime ICON leaks are crashing the FUT market EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Prime ICON card leaks have had a devastating impact on the FUT market, according to new statistics. For each ICON, there are three versions and as regular players will know already, Prime ICONs are the top-rated version for all legend footballers in the game. On December 7, it was leaked that the legendary striker Alfredo Di Stefano has been added to the game code, which suggested he could soon be added to the roster. Since that story, there has been some major developments about the incoming arrival of Prime ICONs, with data miners such as LEVELLED UP on Twitter finding traces of them. FIFA 22 Prime ICON leaks On December 9, the user posted an image that referenced ‘MID OR PRIME ICON PLAYER’ which suggests they are about to be released, possibly within days. They tweeted: “ICON Swaps inbound,” in reference to an ICON Swaps event that takes place routinely in Ultimate Team. THE CODE UPDATE YOU WERE WAITING FOR! 🔥ICON SWAPS INBOUND🔥 pic.twitter.com/witQih9bnS — Levelled Up – EA FC Trading ⤴️ (@LEVELd_Up) December 10, 2021 ICON Swaps runs a number of times throughout the year, in intervals, allowing players to earn tokens through gameplay objectives to claim ICONs and packs as a reward. Therefore, it gives you a choice – buy one off the market with coins, or complete these challenges to access them. FIFA 22 ICON market crash In anticipation of that event, it appears that FUT Club Owners are operating on the market in a very different way. Just a day later, Twitter user Piquelme revealed the damage that had been done, as a result of the leaks – even though the event hasn’t started up yet. They posted: “That ICON Swap code leak sure has really affected the ICON market leading into today. “Icon market is officially the lowest ever on both consoles,” along with market analysis images showing severe downward trends. That Icon Swap code leak sure has really effected the Icon market leading into today Icon market is officially the lowest ever on both consoles #fifa22 pic.twitter.com/Pj0ibSUvGY — Piquelme (@Piquelme21) December 10, 2021 Many ICONs have seen thousands of coins shaved off of their market value, as one user replied: “Thank god I sold mid-Ferdinand at 427k yesterday. He’s down to 380.” Another said: “They said they wanted to make icons more accessible 2 years ago. Looks like it’s finally working out.” It is difficult to say whether or not you should keep hold of your current legends, or let them go now as the market is crashing. That’s your decision to make as these are only leaks and there has been no official timeline on the release of Prime ICONs. But one thing is for certain… it doesn’t look great.

FIFA 22 Pro Clubs features explained: Tactics, Perks, Archetypes & Customization EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have added a load of FIFA 22 Pro Clubs changes after a disappointing period for the mode last, including new Perks, Archetypes, customization tools, and more. For FIFA 21, there was definitely an uneasy feeling within the game’s community about the future of Pro Clubs. The mode requires no microtransactions, unlike Ultimate Team, and allows friends to get together to make their own team, and progress through the divisions. However, last year a lot of the customization features actually went to VOLTA Football, which made players question if Pro Clubs even had a future. Having listened to the strong feedback where gamers asked for action to be taken on next-gen consoles, EA have delivered some interesting new changes. Let’s run the main features, one by one.

They added: “Archetypes are acquired through Skill Points, made available at the end of a skill tree branch. You can equip up to 3 Archetypes, depending on how you decide to allocate your Skill Points.” New Manager customization New Stadium, Atmosphere & other features When selected as a Club Manager, you can now customize the following: Kit & Crest – Ball – Home Stadium – Club Nickname (Commentary Name) – Tifo – Stadium Theme (Banners) – Stadium Colour – Seat Colour – Pitch Line Colour – Pitch Wear – Pitch Colour – Pitch Pattern – Net Pattern – Net Shape – Net Meshing – Goal Song – Crowd Chants – First look at FIFA 22 Pro Clubs As seen in a tweet from UltimateTeamUK, a small teaser clip of the FIFA 22 Pro Clubs menus has been released.

FIFA 22 Pre-Season: How to get FIFA 23 Ultimate Team rewards EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Pre-Season is the last promo of the year before FIFA 23 releases. Here’s everything you need to know about the event and how you can get your FUT 23 season off to the perfect start. After almost a full year of opening packs and grinding FUT Champs, we’ve finally reached the last promo in FIFA 22. After FUTTIES came along to celebrate the best of the past season, attention is now turning to what comes next. With FIFA 23 set to drop very soon, EA is offering players the chance to get the upper hand before the game is even out. FIFA 22 Pre-Season lets fans start their FIFA 23 Ultimate Team journey by earning rewards that will give them a headstart when September 30 rolls around. Here’s everything you need to know about FIFA 22 Pre-Season, and how you can earn FIFA 23 rewards. Contents FIFA 22 Pre-Season start date An in-game loading screen revealed that FIFA 22 Pre-Season would get underway on August 19, 2022. At 6 PM BST / 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, FUTTIES cards were supposed to be removed from packs and Pre-Season would take over. The start time was, however, delayed by EA on August 19. They said: “Due to unforeseen issues, we have had to delay the launch of the Pre-Season Campaign. This thread will be updated when more information is available.” Shortly after, the event began as planned and players could begin their FIFA 23 journey. EA hasn’t yet confirmed how long the promo will run for, but as the last of FIFA 22, we’d expect it to be active right up to the release of FIFA 23 at the end of September. FIFA 22 Pre-Season explained If FIFA 22 Pre-Season follows the same format as previous years, then players can expect a number of the best cards from throughout the season to return. The loading screen teasing the event showed off some SBC-only cards, so it’s likely we’ll see the top Showdown or Player Moments SBCs make their return as well. However, the main draw of the promo is the opportunity to earn rewards that will be waiting for you when you boot up FIFA 23 Ultimate Team for the first time. On top of packs that can be opened right away, Pre-Season is littered with ways of unlocking items that transfer over to the new game ready for day one. These rewards can be earned by completing SBCs and objectives throughout the Pre-Season event, although we’ll have to wait until the promo goes live to see how easy or difficult the challenges are. FIFA 22 Pre-Season: FIFA 23 rewards FIFA 22 Pre-Season gives FUT fans the chance to unlock a handful of useful items ready for FIFA 23. In the name of fairness, these aren’t going to be incredibly special cards that would break the meta before the game even launches, but they are essential items that make the early weeks of Ultimate Team easier. Here are the FIFA 23 rewards that will be available during FIFA 22 Pre-Season: Chemistry styles – Coin boosts – Gold players – Kits – Loan items – Position modifiers – We’ll be keeping this page up to date with all details as soon as FIFA 22 Pre-Season kicks off, so be sure to check back for the latest information.

FIFA 22 Premier League Player of the Month (POTM) nominees & winners Graphics: EA SportsPlayer of the Month awards are back in FIFA 22, meaning fans are once again able to choose which real-life player’s performances have earned them a boosted Ultimate Team card. Here’s everything you need to know to vote, who’s won, how to grab the card, and when they drop in-game. Player of the Month cards will be nothing new to initiated FIFA fans. Monthly votes in regional leagues see the winners given their own POTM cards in Ultimate Team – boosted cards reflecting their improvements in form. While the well-known Team of the Week cards offer modest stat improvements, POTM cards tend to be significantly improved versions of the players’ base cards. FIFA 22 is no different and, like previous years, we expect the players to be unlockable through the completion of a squad building challenge (SBC). Contents How to vote for FIFA 22 Premier League POTM – FIFA 22 Premier League February POTM winner – How to complete FIFA 22 POTM SBC – Previous winners – How to vote for Premier League POTM in FIFA 22 If you want to get involved with the vote, you will have to wait until the nominees are announced. This typically happens towards the end of the month and is published on the Premier League’s Twitter. After you know the nominees and have made your choice, follow the instructions below: Head over to the EA SPORTS Premier League POTM website. – Scroll through the candidates and make your choice – Hit vote – Wait until your vote is confirmed and then you’re done! – April FIFA 22 Premier League POTM nominees The votes are in and it’s a big congratulations to England and Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane who has scooped up the March 2022 award as the Premier League Player of the Month. With 4 goals and several assists to his name, Harry Kane’s second half of the season is proving to be quite fruitful in a bid to secure a top 4 place for Spurs. FIFA 22 players sporting either an England team or a full Premier League team will be keen to add the talismanic forward to their squad, thanks to his array of dazzling stats. His base card stats are pretty fearsome with 94 shooting, 87 passing, 88 dribbling, and a mean 86 physical too. How to complete FIFA 22 POTM SBC Harry Kane The nominees are in 🥁 Vote now for April’s @premierleague #POTM ➡️ https://t.co/p5a7hHYUWi#FIFA22 #FUT pic.twitter.com/VZ0oKW36cu — EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) May 5, 2022 It’s a massive month for the Premier League POTM with fans simply spoiled by the choices on offer. Cristiano Ronaldo and Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-Min Son are the two star-studded forwards leading the line, with Gabriel Jesus also having a say in the conversation thanks to his April exploits that included a four-goal haul against Watford! We already know about Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne and his base 91 card, so a potential upgrade could be a scary proposition as the midfield maestro bids to help City in their hunt to outlast Liverpool in the Premier League title race. But he also faces stiff competition in April as title-chasing rival Thiago has had a spellbinding month for the Reds as their intense march to a possible quadruple continues. Here’s the full line-up: Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester United – Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City – Heung Min Son – Tottenham Hotspur – Thiago – Liverpool – Gabriel Jesus – Manchester City – Bruno Guimaraes – Newcastle United – Leandro Trossard – Brighton & Hove Albion – Nathan Collins – Burnley – Previous FIFA 22 Premier League POTM winners You can find the full list of award winners below, although you can no longer get their POTM cards: August: Michail Antonio – September: Cristiano Ronaldo (92) – October: Mohammed Salah (92) – November: Trent Alexander-Arnold (89) – December: Raheem Sterling (91) – January: David De Gea (87) – February: Joel Matip (86) – March: Harry Kane (93) – It’s worth noting that West Ham forward Michael Antonio won the August competition for Premier League’s POTM. However, that came a few weeks prior to the launch of FIFA 22, so he does not have an in-game card for that achievement.

FIFA 22 players slam “toxic” FUT Friendlies after ICON Swaps launch EA SportsIn recent years, an unspoken ‘golden goal’ has emerged among the FIFA players for those who are completing objectives in FUT Friendlies. But just as ICON Swaps have launched in FIFA 22, fans feel that it is bringing out the worst side of players. Ever since objectives became a key part of the FIFA Ultimate Team mode, an unspoken rule emerged among players who want to blitz through the challenges as quickly as possible. The understanding is that whoever concedes the first goal leaves the match and gives their opponent the win. The idea is that by leaving after the first goal, everyone can get into the next match sooner and boost to the objective at a quicker rate. It is a process that has been present across multiple installments now, as the games do not affect your overall win/loss record. Of course, not all players choose to do it this way. Whether it’s because they need goals rather than wins, or they simply want to play out the match as intended. Now that ICON Swaps, one of the most-anticipated FIFA 22 events, is underway, more and more players are desperate to complete objectives on FUT Friendlies. This is leading to many players reporting toxic behavior when they enter the mode. Fans have recalled incidents where an opponent would pause the game immediately after scoring, in an attempt to force them into quitting. Players who don’t quit are even being subjected to abusive messages. “Screw me for playing the game I paid for right?” said one disgruntled player on Reddit. “The amount of hate messages I’ve gotten is so funny. This community is so entitled man.” Others mentioned cases where players would quit when the match is a draw, just because their opponent didn’t immediately leave. There was also mention of people changing their squad names to ‘golden goal’ in the hopes of getting an easy win. “Everyone is so addicted to getting rewards fast,” argued another fan. “I would actually prefer people staying after I score. I want to play FIFA and not pack simulator.” While this problem is certainly most prevalent in FUT Friendlies, it has also emerged in FUT Champions this year. The revamped rewards structure means that Champs players can secure their rewards as soon as all their games are done, instead of having to wait until a specific day and time. This is causing the same unspoken golden goal rule to creep into FIFA 22’s most competitive mode, which could spell problems for the long-term enjoyment of the mode. EA Sports have so far done very little to try and combat the toxicity that exists in FUT Friendlies and FUT Champs this year. But many fans will be holding out hope that some kind of penalty will be implemented for those making the game less enjoyable.

FIFA 22 poll shows players want Microsoft to buy EA next EA SPORTSA new FIFA 22 poll has revealed many players would be in favor of a hypothetical Microsoft buyout of EA SPORTS in the future, following their acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Microsoft announced on January 18 that they had struck a shock deal with Activision Blizzard to take over the company by 2023, bringing a number of world-renowned franchises under their umbrella once it’s finalized. Activision studios such as Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, Blizzard, and others are included in the acquisition. In the backdrop of the news, a number of game communities have expressed their delight about a change in leadership, most notably World of Warcraft. Naturally, players of other franchises are now wondering where Microsoft will turn next. FIFA 22 poll shows support for Microsoft buyout Following months of a very public back and forth between EA SPORTS and FIFA over naming rights fees, a number of suitors have been linked to a move for the license beyond 2023. According to a new poll, posted by the FUT Watch Twitter account, the majority of respondents would be in favor of Microsoft purchasing EA to take over the FIFA series. At the time of writing, 4,500 users have cast their ballot with an overwhelming 78% saying they would welcome a takeover. This was obvs a joke but would you be open to a Microsoft takeover? — FUT Watch (@FutWatch) January 18, 2022 While the sample size is a drop in the ocean, compared to the millions of players who make up the game’s community, it does suggest a level of discontent towards the current developer. Based on how other game communities impacted by Activision’s buyout have lauded the acquisition news, this suggests FIFA fans are wanting something of their own to celebrate. In recent months, there have been reports of a name change to EA SPORTS FC in the pipeline, as well as rumors about 2K Games placing a bid for the naming rights. Whether or not a Microsoft buyout would resolve frustrations related to Ultimate Team microtransactions or gameplay is unknown, though there’s clearly a section of the audience that believes it could be for the better. The obvious downside to FIFA also falling under the tech giant’s umbrella would be the possibility of it becoming an Xbox exclusive. Players react In the replies, there was hardly a consensus to be found, however. One said: “Please yes. And get rid of everyone in that company enforcing P2W and gambling.” Another added: “No if it means going Xbox exclusive.” A third user tweeted: “I’m open to literally anyone else be in charge.” Whatever the case may be, it will be fascinating to watch what happens next with FIFA’s ownership and name, and what other large developers may be purchased next.

FIFA 22 players slam “pointless” performance cards after Headliners announcement EA SPORTSPerformance-based cards have become a staple of the FIFA series, and FIFA 22 continued the tradition with the likes of Ones to Watch and Player of the Months. However, just as the first lot of Headliners hit packs, fans have labeled these types of cards as “pointless.” FIFA Ultimate Team has always prided itself on the way it ties into real-life football, and FIFA 22 continues that trend. From the regular Team of the Week to big promotions like Ones to Watch, EA SPORTS loves to reward those who are performing well for their clubs with big upgrades. In the past, this has taken moderately-rated SBC fodder and turned them into FUT Champs-dominating titans. It also makes the game feel like an extension of the real sport, rather than a simple imitation. However, after the announcement of the Headliners promotion, FIFA 22 players have slammed EA’s approach to performance-based cards this time around. They feel the developers have missed a trick, and they are becoming irrelevant. Headliners are special cards that stay one rating above a player’s highest-rated in-form, and can also be upgraded if their team wins four games in a row. But this wasn’t enough to win over the FUT community. Reddit user DynamyttKidd believed that performance-based promos are “dead,” and the upgraders are “pointless” when you consider how many special cards release in a season. “By the time they win 4 games we’ll have probably another 2 promos with juiced players, making them all irrelevant,” they said.

FIFA 22 players roast eFootball over “terrible” PES graphics KonamiFIFA 22 players were waiting to see if eFootball 2022, previously PES, could be a genuine mainstream alternative this time – but after seeing the graphics, all they’re doing is roasting the game. Pro Evolution Soccer has now gone free-to-play after Konami’s revamp changed the name to ‘eFootball.’ However, it’s not taken long for it to come under fire from football fans. Shortly after eFootball launched on September 30 for PS5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android devices, players were able to see the release build for the game as a service title that should be periodically updated. But it didn’t have the greatest reception, especially on Steam, where negative reviews immediately made it the newest worst-rated game on the marketplace, according to Steam250. eFootball flamed by FIFA 22 players Gonna guess the ‘e’ in eFootball stands for evil or sumat. Demonic freaks everywhere. pic.twitter.com/cPFpIhIuUn — Steven (@StevenMcinerney) September 30, 2021 This is in no small part to eFootball’s graphics and player models of stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. “Konami you really shouldn’t have released this in this state. This is bad… I mean really bad.., Like bad bad bad,” one user said on Twitter. Players are slamming everything from face models to in-game animation, glitch gameplay mechanics, laggy responses, and more. But the graphics are what’s really gaining traction online, as worldwide football icons can sometimes be shown with wild expressions and distortions. eFootball graphics Thanks for kill my fav game @play_eFootball #efootball2022 here is a Video with Ansu Fati running like naruto pic.twitter.com/JQ2KRr2RwC — Ricardo (@BassRicky_) September 30, 2021 Konami you really shouldn’t have released this in this state. This is bad… I mean really bad.. Like bad bad bad #eFootball2022 pic.twitter.com/6YYDR8XnmT — TheTrueBrits🎙️⚽️ (@_TheTrueBrits) September 30, 2021 It doesn’t help that the graphic problems are affecting eFootball ambassadors Lionel Messi and Neymar, but it’s making for plenty of memes. This is just the start of eFootball’s inaugural campaign. Konami did warn players that its early launch phase would “in many ways” play like a demo. Though they mentioned a limited number of teams and modes would be available upon release, members of the community are not exactly happy so far. There’s still plenty of time for eFootball to right its wrongs, but this is an early loss in the war against FIFA 22.

FIFA 22 players slam “greedy” EA over promo mini-releases EA SPORTSIn FIFA 22, EA have begun dropping mini-releases of new players in each promo event, giving players more cards to bolster their squad with. However, many FUT users feel this is actually a money-making tactic, designed to separate fans from their cash. Promotions are a vital part of FIFA 22, and one of the biggest reasons that millions of FUT users come flooding back week after week. Regular players normally have solid gold teams after a few weeks of playing, so promo cards become the best way to drastically improve a squad. However, in this year’s game, EA SPORTS have changed up their approach in releasing special items like Rulebreakers or Winter Wildcards. Not only does a full team drop on Fridays, but a small mini-release comes a couple of days later. While some players may welcome the extra injection of special cards, others feel it is a desperate ploy from EA to make even more money. The most recent Headliners event brought two full squads of new cards which have shaken up the FIFA 22 meta once again. But EA’s decision to once again release three extra players after the full team hits packs has riled the community. When you consider that some promos this year have featured two main teams, each followed by a mini-release, you can see why. Some of the cards that have come in these extra batches have been expensive, meta players that would have been more than worthy of a spot in the main team. One of the players included in the latest mini-release was Headliners Fofana, an incredibly overpowered card that will be highly sought-after. Reddit user “murdoch-” slammed the move, calling it a “greedy” tactic from EA that is “hurting the consumer.” Each new rollout of special cards sees an uptake in the number of packs that are opened, and FIFA Points bought. Players seem to feel bringing out exceptional cards away from the usual Friday release day is a way of enticing people to splash the cash a second time. EA first began this new schedule at the beginning of FIFA 22, and have shown no signs of changing ever since. “Frustratingly, it probably does make them more money and it will probably be the new norm,” said one reply. As we move into the second half of FIFA 22’s lifespan, and with Team of the Year on the horizon, fans will be hoping that EA take a more user-friendly approach going forward. Whether it means releasing the extra cards as an SBC, or simply including them in the main release.

FIFA 22 players quitting the game over Division Rivals changes EA SPORTSThe FIFA series has one of the most dedicated communities, but FIFA 22 Ultimate Team players are reportedly abandoning the title – making online matches harder to find. Millions of football fans swarmed to FIFA 22 when it launched at the beginning of October, excited to see what the new Ultimate Team season has in store. But despite a steady stream of promotions and SBCs, some of the changes in this year’s game appear to have been enough for many players to jump ship – something which is unheard of at such an early point of the lifecycle. In fact, the problem is already at a point where it is making online matches hard to find. Fans have shared their experiences and theorized what is causing the exodus. In early December, many FIFA fans have taken to social media claiming they having difficulties dropping into matches. Some reported that they have to wait “minutes” at a time to matchmake with an opponent, while others say it has been “impossible” to find one at all. The problem seems to be mainly affecting the Division Rivals mode. Particularly for casual players who only have a limited amount of time to play, long waits are severely impacting their chances of earning weekly rewards. “I try to fit a game into my lunch or a break and end up having to cancel out because it takes too long to find a game,” reported one player. “It’s the biggest problem with the game right now which is really saying something…” There is no obvious reason as to why this is happening, and EA SPORTS has not highlighted any matchmaking problems. This has led players to speculate why fans seem to have stopped playing, with fingers being pointed at the new Divison Rivals system. EA chose to remove the relegation feature from Division Rivals in FIFA 22, meaning there is no way of dropping down a rank once you reach a checkpoint. Players were put back by a division or two at the beginning of Season 2, but quickly found themselves back where they started. This has left players who find themselves promoted after a run of good form stranded in a division that is too high. Many fans feel that this, paired with the FUT Champs Play-Off system, is driving players away. “I’m the last man standing out of my six long-time FIFA buddies on FUT this year,” said one player. “Last year 4 of them still played at the TOTS stage.”[They need] to reverse the damage they have done to Rivals with this woeful new system,” said another. It’s worth noting that there could be other reasons for the matching difficulties. The player base is split across current and last-gen platforms, with no crossplay support. It could also be down to the region players are searching from, or the times they log in. We’ll have to wait and see if EA addresses the issues people are having, whether it be a matchmaking problem or a genuine lack of players. Either way, fans will be holding out for a change to Division Rivals to make the game more rewarding.

FIFA 22 players just found a Di Stefano ICON clue in-game EA Sports/football-history.netFIFA 22 players have found a clue for a new ICON set coming for legendary Argentine footballer Alfredo Di Stefano. FUT ICONS are some of the best items in FIFA 22 that celebrate the greatest footballers of all time. These cards come with some of the best stats in the game and are also some of the most expensive to acquire in Ultimate Team. Now, a long-awaited Di Stefano ICON set could be one of the next to be released. Di Stefano discovered on the FIFA 22 Transfer Market On December 7, a 92 OVR Di Stefano appeared on the FIFA 22 Transfer Market. If you search “di” you can find it among the top-rated results. How do we know this is an ICON card and not something else? There’s only one listed, but stats for 92 and 90 rated cards were leaked before this as well. In July 2021 FUT Watch uncovered both the 90 and 92 OVR Stefano cards which could very well be his base and mid ICON stats, respectively. It makes a lot of sense to give Di Stefano, widely considered one of the all-time greats, his own ICON set in FIFA 22. What remains to be seen is when it will come out. FIFA 22 Di Stefano ICON release date We can’t say exactly when Alfredo Di Stefano’s ICON cards will become available, but it could happen around the New Year, which was when FIFA 21’s ICON Swap event happened. Regardless, if he’s showing up on the Transfer Market, we won’t have long to wait before we see his ICON set arrive in FIFA 22.

FIFA 22 traders left furious after EA wrongly wipes accounts in latest ban wave EA SPORTSFIFA 22 players are furious with EA SPORTS after receiving bans for engaging in normal trading practices in FIFA Ultimate Team, including selling inflated cards, packing expensive players, and more. EA SPORTS has been busy banning FIFA 22 players in October, including more than 30k players who abused a FUT Champs glitch preventing them from losing. However, some players have also been reporting that they’ve copped bans for engaging in normal trading practices in FIFA Ultimate Team, including trading in non-rare players and selling cards at inflated prices. In some instances, they’ve even had their coins wiped, and they’re not happy. KingLangpard, a Twitch streamer who focuses on FIFA content, was one of the first players to speak out about it. He shared a post from another player who received a ban and lost all his coins for doing what he claims is nothing out of the ordinary. “Remember when EA said to be a good pro player you need an understanding of how to trade and make coins… Well, why aren’t you allowed to trade?” he said. He continued: “The amount of people I’ve seen banned or coins wiped for selling inflated cards or packing a big player and selling them.” Remember when EA said to be a good pro player you need an understanding of how to trade and make coins… Well why aren’t you allowed to trade? The amount of people I’ve seen banned or coins wiped for selling inflated cards or packing a big player and selling them EA = 🤡 https://t.co/DYm5FfWxXv — Langpard (@KingLangpard) October 21, 2021 Several other players said it happened to them, too. A player named Ati who offers trading tips and advice wrote: “Flipping solution nonrare golds is a crime now? Fix your game. [Can’t be a**ed] anymore. It’s a joke.” EA hasn’t commented on the situation yet. However, the consensus among players is that it’s an obvious mistake, and they’re demanding answers.

FIFA 22 players divided over new game: What do you rate it? EA SPORTSFIFA 22 players have been diving in with early with EA Play access and Ultimate Edition, but it appears the highly anticipated game has split the community right down the middle. EA SPORTS dripped out details on Ultimate Team, Career Mode, VOLTA Football, Pro Clubs, and gameplay features in the weeks approaching their October 1 release date. Many of the changes were good on paper, as a consensus formed in the community that this entry might be the best one in years. However, after getting hands-on with the title on September 22 and 27, it appears anything that looks remotely like a consensus is hard to find. In Dexerto’s FIFA 22 review, we gave the game a solid 8.5 rating due to improved gameplay with Hypermotion Technology. Though that’s just the opinion of one writer, what’s more interesting is to find out if it’s resonated with the audience at large. FIFA 22 rating? Players are divided On September 27, we put the question to early access players via UltimateTeamUK on Twitter. The poll amassed over 18,000 votes, with members of the community tasked with slapping a game rating on FIFA 22. Early results show that more people have tended to vote for 0-5 than for a perfect 10, which suggests it has some way to go in future patches to achieve a higher rating. Interestingly, though, the brackets for 5-7 and 8-10 have been neck-and-neck since it was posted. Early access players… What rating would you give #FIFA22 out of 10? Let us know 👇 — Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) September 27, 2021 One fan posted: “Sitting at a 7 for me. Interested to see if the first patch sends us back to the dark ages or not. Goalkeepers need a nerf.” “Between 8-10 for me. Easily the most enjoyable FIFA for a while and not having games finishing 9-8 constantly is refreshing,” a user replied. “Prefer the keepers the way they are makes it more challenging.” Read More: FIFA 22 TOTW 2 Predictions – Another said: “This is my favourite FIFA to date! My play style fits perfectly. Never been able to master skills and it’s perfect I love it!” Some players were more ruthless, though: “I went between 0-5, not because of the slower gameplay, I actually prefer it. No spamming skill moves. BUT, there are huge issues like super keepers, tackling still broken, right stick switching broken, passing is inconsistent, shooting barely exists.” I went between 0-5 not because of the slower gameplay, I actually prefer it. No spamming skill moves. BUT, there are huge issues like super keepers, tackling still broken, right stick switching broken, passing is inconsistent, shooting barely exists. — Lew (@Lew_afc) September 27, 2021 In terms of the figures of this relatively large sample size, 39% of respondents selected the former, and another 39% picked the latter – but there’s still time to tilt the balance. The poll ends on September 30, 2021. The early exit polls are in, though, and it suggests a lot of people aren’t head over heels with FIFA 22 so far. Whether or not that will change with the release of upcoming gameplay patches, Ultimate Team promos, and Career Mode updates remains to be seen.

FIFA 22 players fed up as invisible pitch lines still ruining online matches EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Ultimate Team lets players customize their stadium, all the way down to the color of paint used to outline the pitch. But the bizarre option to choose green pitch lines is making the boundaries impossible to see and is being used as a devious tactic in online matches. FIFA Ultimate Team has evolved and expanded, players have been afforded more and freedom to customize to their clubs. FIFA 22 has more options than ever before, including expanded choices to build the FUT stadium of their dreams. Everything from the trophies on display in each corner, to the tifos displayed before a match can be swapped and changed. Even different colored pitch lines can be found in packs alongside special cards and contracts. However, this last option is causing serious problems with visibility, as certain colors are almost impossible to make out. Players are now calling for the different colored pitch lines to be removed from the game. Many members of the FIFA 22 community have taken to Reddit to express their frustration with coming up against players with virtually invisible pitch markings. One such player was Redditor deefer6, who said “if any member of staff from EA is reading this, I’m begging you, stop allowing people to use different colored lines.” This post was accompanied by a screenshot showing a FUT player using green pitch lines, which are incredibly difficult to make out. Stadiums with this feature have been causing difficulties ever since launch, as players often run the ball out of play without realizing they are close to the edge. Other players responded calling the altered lines “horrible,” and accused those using them of looking for an extra advantage in online matches. As you can imagine, this is also raising the question of accessibility in FIFA 22. There is currently no setting to revert pitch lines back to white, and the problem is only heightened for those who already struggle to make out colors. “As someone who is partially color-blind, this is an absolute clusterf**k,” replied one player. ” I can’t see anything.” There is a colorblind option in the visual settings, but this doesn’t appear to have any impact on pitch lines. It’s worth noting that EA has had this problem on its Trello tracker for some time, but is yet to release any fix or workaround. With the holiday season now over, players will be hoping to see the issue sorted in an upcoming update.

FIFA 22 players demand changes over “terrible” Spurs stadium issue EA SPORTSFIFA 22 recreates all of its real-life stadiums with a stunning level of detail, all the way down to the shadows they cast on the pitch. But fans are begging EA for an option to turn them off, as they are ‘hurting’ players’ eyes in online Ultimate Team matches. Particularly on next-gen consoles and PC, FIFA 22 prides itself on offering one of the most realistic football games that players can buy. This is partly down to the real-life stadiums recreated in-game, which can be used as your home ground in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. Every aspect of each licensed stadium has been considered, from the shape of the stands to the shadows they cast onto the pitch in sunny weather. However, the latter is making for poor visibility in online matches, and players are desperate for EA SPORTS to give them the option to turn them off. Visibility has been an issue in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team ever since launch, as the option to have green pitch lines has been wreaking havoc in Division Rivals and FUT Champions. Now, Reddit user mark364i has taken aim at the shadows on the pitch. Read More: FIFA 22 Headliners promo: Team 1 and 2 revealed, start date, FUT leaks, how it works, more – In his post, the player uploaded a screenshot showing just how much impact the shadows can have in sunny weather. The picture is of Spurs’ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where it is virtually impossible to see the edges of the pitch, including the penalty area. In past FIFA titles, players have been given the option to change the time of day or weather, but this feature is bizarrely absent in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, though it is available in Career Mode. Many players responded to the post asking EA to either let them change the climate or turn off shadows altogether for a clearer view. “I played against someone using this stadium. Hurt my eyes so much and when my opponent attacked to this end it was near impossible to defend,” said one player. “Why can’t they remove shadows or let us pick the weather/time?” asked another. The concern is that this, along with feint pitch lines, can be used as a tactic online to through off opponents. Given that Spurs’ stadium is brand new, and belongs to a beloved club, it is certainly turning up a lot in matches. EA SPORTS has promised regular updates throughout FIFA 22’s lifecycle. Fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that a fix comes sooner rather than later so that they no longer have to worry about the stadium their opponents are choosing to play at.

FIFA 22 players divided over FUT Champions Finals ranks & rewards changes EA SPORTSEA SPORTS brought in some huge changes to the way FUT Champions ranks and rewards work in FIFA 22. But, just a few months after launch, the developers have overhauled the system once again, dividing the player base. As Ultimate Team continues to become more and more competitive, FUT Champions has turned into the most prestigious mode in the game. FIFA 22 is no exception, with FUT Champs being home to the top rewards for players to earn. After years of complaints about the mode’s unforgiving nature, FIFA 22 launched with a whole new ranks and rewards system. The idea being that more casual players can still earn decent packs without being asked to win a huge amount of games. But despite the relatively positive reception to this year’s FUT Champions, EA SPORTS have drastically changed its rewards structure just months after launch. The changes have divided the community, with many unsure if this is a positive step. In FIFA 22, EA did away with the win/loss system from FIFA 21 in favor of a points system. Players earn four points per win and one point per loss, as they attempt to climb into higher and higher ranks. At launch, there were six ranks in total, with as few as two wins still unlocking respectable packs and Player Picks. Now, there are 10 ranks overall, and the rewards for each have been tweaked. It seems that the lower ranks have been nerfed slightly, and the increase in value has become even more incremental. Check out our FUT Champions hub to see a full breakdown of the new rewards. The most likely reason for the update is to combat the ‘free win’ tactic used by many players. Throughout FIFA 22, those who have reached a rank they are happy with have been loading into games and quitting, giving away a win to their opponent and still securing one point for themselves. By placing each rank closer together, EA are clearly hoping that players will be inspired to keep winning rather than losing on purpose. However, the changes have proved divisive among the community. FIFA streamer Bateson87 said the new system “only benefits pro players. Everyone else loses out.” Average fans are also concerned that this will hinder their progress in Ultimate Team, as they have to grind for higher ranks to earn valuable rewards. “So I used to get 3 player picks for 12 wins and now I need 18? Weekend league was actually pretty chill this time around…now they’ve turned it into an absolute sweat-fest again,” said one disgruntled player. Others even accused EA of catering more to the high-skilled users, despite promises of making FIFA 22 a more inclusive experience. “This is just EA being EA, they give high-skilled players more and people that are not as good get less, it’s typical really.” The mood wasn’t all negative, though. Some felt that this new system makes for a more balanced experience, giving players more to work towards while still rewarding them for their efforts.FIFA expert NepentheZ also explained that the new structure will make FUT Champions less “casual,” as EA clearly intends for it to be the elite Ultimate Team mode. We’ll have to wait until the first FUT Champions Finals weekend to see the changes in action. For the time being, at least, fans appear to be split on whether or not this is a win for the community, and if it will put an end to players quitting matches.

FIFA 22 players call for major ICON overhaul in Ultimate Team EA SportsFIFA 22 players are calling on developers EA Sports to overhaul Ultimate Team’s ICON cards as they struggle for viability and popularity amid the game’s meta and dwindling market. ICONs have long been some of the most coveted cards in FIFA. The collection of legendary players comes in a number of forms to capture different moments in the player’s career. From Base to Mid to Prime to Moments, each ICON is adaptable to a number of play styles and positions. That doesn’t mean they’re good, though. FIFA 22 has experienced major market issues since its launch, with the values of high-rated players relatively low. 84 rated cards are selling for discard prices and ICONs are not immune to the slump either. Whilst cheap ICONs would have been welcomed in previous titles, they are simply not suitable for FIFA 22’s meta, which sees strong and agile players incredibly useful. Naturally then, players want changes. In a January 1 post entitled “Some ICONs feel completely pointless”, player ‘Iloveshortbreadb‘ highlighted their major problems with the cards. Read More: FIFA 22 Squad Battles rewards – “Trying to use world class players such as Pirlo, Roy Keane, Scholes, Baggio, Schweinsteiger, Thierry Henry, Gerrard and many others feels almost useless against the super juiced French 11 that most, if not everyone uses,” they said. “You have a nice squad of icons thinking that you could put on some sort of world class performance but they get absolutely mauled by the most mediocre of players.” Their points were echoed by many and, looking at the FUT market, appear to be reflected in the ICONs’ prices. A card like Rulebreakers Ousmane Dembele still sits 430,000 coins, whilst ICONs like Claude Makelele can be picked up for just 125,000 coins. One player commented: “The most important factors to make a card OP are body type, pace, agility/balance, and stars (mostly for attackers). And most icons lack those exact things.” Another simply pointed out that Presnel Kimpembe has better in-game stats than Italian ICON Alessandro Nesta. It’s ultimately up to EA to make any changes but, with ICONs more worthless than ever, many feel this is the time to act.

FIFA 22 players call for changes to ‘downgrade’ Flashback cards EA SportsFlashback cards have become FUT staples in recent years, giving fans the chance to celebrate their favorite players’ history, but FIFA 22 users are unhappy with how they have been handled in this year’s game. FUT Flashback SBCs have been fan favorites ever since they were introduced to the FIFA series. These throwbacks take a card from FUT history and drop them into the current game, breathing new life into players that have been forgotten. These tend to be based on past performance-based cards, such as a Team of Season or Player of the Month. Their boosted stats make them formidable on the pitch and give fans even more options to bolster their squads. We’ve had plenty of Flashback cards in FIFA 22, from N’golo Kante to the recently announced Georgio Chiellini, but some players feel that this year’s choices have been missed opportunities. So far in FIFA 22, most of the cards of this type have been lower-rated versions of players that have good stats already. They usually rejig their sats in an attempt to make them more useable, or in the case of Kante, affordable. Fans took to Reddit asking EA to use Flashback cards to make fan favorites who are past their best a chance to fit into the FIFA 22 meta. “Kante, Mahrez, Chiellini, etc are all good now, I don’t know why we needed flashback versions of them,” said one player. “Give me the likes of Kevin Prince Boateng all day long, at least it’s something different and fun.” Other cult heroes like Nani or Richardo Quaresma were also mentioned, whose old special cards terrorized defenses in the early days of Ultimate Team. The feeling among fans seemed to be that giving players who are already high-rated more cards means that everyone’s team is made up of the same names. FUT players also accused EA of taking the same approach with every Flashback SBC – downgrade the rating but boost meta stats. “Flashback card to EA just means add some pace and drop other stats marginally,” argued one fan. This has certainly been the case on a number of occasions so far this season. The flashback Benzema released as part of Black Friday featured a huge pace boost at the expense of some of his shooting. There’s still plenty of time for EA to release more and more Flashback SBCs as the year moves on, but fans will no doubt be hoping for more creative uses of these special cards in the future.

FIFA 22 players call for major changes to FUT Champs qualification EA SportsFIFA 22 players want to see major changes to FUT Champions qualification, arguing there’s not really a need for Playoffs. Playoffs for FUT Champs let us play through a limited number of games, earning points toward Champions Ranks and Rewards. However, a lot of players are frustrated, since players who don’t qualify have nothing to do. Not only that, but the points required from Division Rivals are also a point of concern with players. Because of this, some want to see major changes happen. Players want major changes to FUT Champs qualifying In a Reddit post on November 14, user ‘stateofyourone’ argued there was no need for Playoffs, as simply getting enough points was already a massive challenge to most of the community. “It’s a major added stress on top of Divison Rivals. Does anyone else think it’s time for it to be scrapped?” they wrote. “I got my 2000 points and honestly didn’t even play one game.” Suggestions included another competition for players that didn’t qualify, making Playoffs more accessible to more players, and more in addition to just ditching them altogether. “The playoffs shouldn’t be necessary for those that reach rank 1 or 2 in WL,” one user replied in the comments. “They should qualify without the playoffs. That would even the playing field enough for average players like me to actually qualify a few times per season.” With FIFA 22 EA SPORTS actually tried to overhaul the FUT Champs, adding Playoffs to try and make it more accessible and reduce the time required to participate. Based on this response from players though, it doesn’t seem like the “overhaul” to FIFA 22 FUT Champs was very successful.

FIFA 22 players beg EA SPORTS for fix as “No Opponent” glitch ruins FUT playlists EA SPORTSFIFA 22 players are begging EA SPORTS to take action as a nasty new “no opponents found” glitch sweeps through Ultimate Team playlists, leaving fans unable to play Division Rivals or FUT Champs with their new Black Friday teams. The FUT community is up in arms as the weekend’s huge Black Friday promo finally comes to an end, after discovering FIFA’s most popular modes are totally unplayable. FIFA 22 players trying to queue into Division Rivals matches or their high-stakes FUT Champs games — armed with their new Black Friday-fuelled teams — are being left in game queues for hours, before being greeted with “No Opponent Found” error messages that boots them back to the menus. The glitch originally started popping up on November 29. Once players begin experiencing the issue, there are a few ways to solve it. Instead, FIFA players have just been logging out and expressing their concerns online. Some fans were insistent that EA SPORTS had “scammed” the FIFA community; the publishers have been selling FUT promo packs and selling cards all weekend for their Black Friday event, but when the gameplay servers have hit a log-jam thanks to a new bug, its “radio silence” from the FIFA bosses. “It’s happening all the time now, I’ve been able to play like one game in the past two hours,” one disgruntled FIFA fan wrote on EA’s dedicated forums. Others on Reddit confirmed it has become “a huge issue” across North American and European servers. “It doesn’t make sense… I search, and search, and search, and then I either get the error message, or when I finally match up with someone the timer just expires before they click ready,” another annoyed FIFA 22 player explained. Dexerto has also heard reports this “No Opponents Found” glitch has spread to other playlists in the title, including Pro Clubs, Friendlies, and Kick Off games. EA SPORTS has yet to respond to the “No Opponents Found” glitch, though they have released several Black Friday promo pack lightning rounds and rich SBCs since the issue was reported by players earlier today. Dexerto is not expecting the FIFA publishers to respond, but if they do comment on the ongoing server problems we’ll be sure to update FUT players immediately.

FIFA 22 players beg EA SPORTS to bring back FUT relegation EA SPORTSFIFA 22 players are begging EA SPORTS to bring back the relegation feature in FIFA Ultimate Team’s Division Rivals mode, claiming its absence makes the experience less enjoyable. FIFA 22 has earned lots of praise from the critics and the community alike. Not only did the developers tweak the gameplay, but they also overhauled some of the game’s most popular modes, including Division Rivals. However, one thing that isn’t sitting well with fans was their decision to remove the relegation feature. They believe it makes the Division Rivals experience less enjoyable overall, and they took to social media to explain why. In previous iterations of the game, Division Rivals included a skill rating system that saw players move up or down across different divisions depending on their results. They could be promoted or relegated along the way. That all changed in FIFA 22, though, with the introduction of a new ladder system. Players can still move up or down the ladder. However, there are now checkpoints in each division that prevent players from falling below that point. In other words, relegation is no longer possible, no matter how poorly a player performs, and people aren’t happy about it. They claim it’s gotten them stuck in higher divisions against opponents above their skill level. In a Reddit thread titled, ‘I wish they still had relegations,’ a player named /u/ASJ_ claims he no longer enjoys playing because he’s stuck in too high of a division. Read More: FIFA 22 Update 2 patch notes – The top comment in the thread, written by /u/Upset_Elk_9980, echoed the sentiment. “Yeah, think I’ve hit my peak too in Div 4,” he said. “Stopped playing FUT tbh and play career mode instead. Not worth the ball ache.” Some players were less sympathetic, though. /u/TwabbyMcTwapface wrote: “It’s a competitive game mode, people. You got in that division yourself, you didn’t get thrown in there by EA. If your opponents are better, learn to improve or suck it up.” However, another player named /u/siderealpanic responded in disagreement, saying, “Video games are supposed to be fun. The current format has a big, unnecessary flaw that makes the game less fun for large portions of the player base.” The debate is raging on. However, it’s important to note that the ladder will reset when the season finishes on November 15, 2021. Every player will drop back down to Divison 10, and they’ll need to start again from scratch. Still, it’s clear that many players aren’t fond of the new system. They want the developers to change it back to the way it was in previous titles and won’t hesitate to voice their opinions to help make it happen.

FIFA 22 players back 2K’s bid to develop future games – not EA EA SPORTS / 2KAfter 2K Games teased a bid for the FIFA license to start their own series, a new FIFA 22 players poll reveals a large chunk of the community is ready to leave EA behind. The negotiations between EA and FIFA appear to have reached a stage of stalemate, following a statement from the football body that they want to eliminate one game developer “exploiting” exclusive licensing in the future. FIFA has also reportedly asked EA to pay $1 billion every four years to continue their long-term partnership. Since then, 2K Games has emerged as a potential contender – after their CEO teased a bid during the November Take-Two earnings call. FIFA 22 players back potential 2K Games bid In a poll posted by DexertoFC, which has racked up over 8,800 votes, 43% of respondents backed the potential bid from 2K Games to develop future games. The predicament this would put players in, however, is that EA SPORTS would still likely develop a rivaling game under a new name. So, two big options would be on the market annually. Let’s do a poll 🗳 Would you swap EA for 2K Games to develop future FIFA Games? #FIFA22 — Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) November 4, 2021 The poll ends on November 7. A community divided The votes for ‘no’ reached 33%, which suggests that there is still a significant amount of support for the current dev team at EA. Comments were sent in as replies to the poll and it’s fair to say that the idea has attracted mixed results. One player said: “The servers in 2k are just sad. Playing online it’s a nightmare so I don’t know how I feel about that.” Another said: “These people must not play a lot of 2K lol, they are just as bad as EA, but the 2K MyTeam is terrible.” “The only company worse than EA is 2k without a doubt. This would be the last outcome we need.” Not all comments were negative towards the majority vote, however. “It’s so obvious that EA doesn’t even care anymore about creating a better game. It’s copy and paste with a few tweaks and the gameplay is often broken. At least 2k try different things and try to improve the overall user experience. Not perfect but better.” One other user added: “NBA 2k Offline Modes > FIFA.” It’s very much not confirmed that 2K Games will place a bid for FIFA’s naming rights in the future, but the prospect has provoked strong opinions on both sides. While the majority in this poll would explore an alternative to EA SPORTS in the future, it’s very unclear how the landscape of football games would look if another major developer joined the pack.

FIFA 22 player slapped with ban for calling their club ‘PuyolPantsDown’ EA SportsOne FIFA 22 player has been hit with a ban for naming their Ultimate Team ‘PuyolPantsDown’ as a tribute to the great Barcelona player. You see all kinds of wild names while playing Ultimate Team, and that definitely hasn’t changed with FIFA 22. Unless there’s outright profanity or an attempt at it though, you usually don’t see players getting banned for what they call their team. However, one FUT manager’s cheeky nickname for their squad did find them targeted by the ban hammer — at least temporarily. EA not laughing at ‘PuyolPantsDown’ On February 6, Reddit user powertoola posted the image they received from EA informing them the “inappropriate” name for their club had netted them a seven-day ban. A tribute to Barcelona legend Carles Puyol, this player named their club ‘PuyolPantsDown,’ an obvious play on words, that apparently didn’t go over well with one of their opponents. None of the words in the name are inappropriate, at least on their own. That means they wouldn’t be picked up by any filters or scripts that EA have in place. If they were, powertoola wouldn’t have been able to use the name in the first place. Instead, it must have been another player who was so offended by the name, or maybe just suffered a painful defeat against the team, that they decided to report the name themselves. Either way this player will now have a week to come up with another nickname as they wait out their ban. They’ll have a hard time topping this one though, cheeky as it is.

FIFA 22 players already noticing big changes to FUT Heroes EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have dropped some very interesting FIFA 22 FUT Heroes information in the run-up to the game’s release, and players can’t help but notice the changes between reveals. For those who don’t know, these Hero cards are a new set of throwback players – similar to FUT ICONs, which allows you to play with some of the great footballers of the past. Included in the list are Diego Milito, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and many other cult heroes of the game. What we know so far is that these FUT Heroes will be included at launch, with some managing to snag one in pre-orders. However, there are still question marks about their viability in a game mode like Ultimate Team, where people build insane OVR teams in a matter of weeks. New screenshots of the FUT Hero cards, though, do hint at some changes coming in the future. FIFA 22 FUT Heroes ratings change One potential way of making sure these Heroes are viable for a long period of time would be stats increases, similar to Ones to Watch cards. The difference here, though, is that none of these players play the game anymore and are retired. Though, it does look like a similar progression system for each card may be just around the corner. The first piece of evidence, noted by Twitter user AllFifaMistakes, is that Jerzy Dudek has a different rating in two official EA posts. FIFA22 mistake #3: In EAs UT reveal they have conflicting ratings for FUT Hero, Jerzy Dudek. 86 on some screens and an 88 on another. — EASportsFCMistakes (@AllFifaMistakes) August 10, 2021 This could suggest that their overall stats will change in due course, as he’s an 86 in one image, and 88 in another. Second clue Another potential clue, relating to the possible existence of FUT Hero upgrades, was found by Reddit user Jaychel31. In one image, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a red shirt, and in another, he’s wearing a blue jersey – hinting at the possibility of multiple versions, per Hero. Whether or not FUT Heroes will have an upgrade roadmap, similar to other Ultimate Team cards, remains to be seen. However, there’s no denying that potential clues are starting to stack up. Then again, it could just be graphical mistakes. We’ll have to wait and see. FIFA 22 releases on October 1, 2021.

FIFA 22 player recreates famous Rooney goal for Man Utd with FUT ICON card EA SportsFIFA 22 Ultimate Team’s ICON cards allow players to use legends of football from down the years and one player has taken advantage of this by using Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney to score an iconic goal. The concept of ICONS/Legends has been around in FIFA for years now and with every passing year, the game adds even more superstars of yesteryear to FIFA’s ranks. With Base, Mid, Prime, and Moments ICON cards available in packs, FIFA 22 players have the chance to acquire some unbelievably rare and desirable Ultimate Team cards. One person who fits the bill as much as anyone is England’s Wayne Rooney. A mercurial striker who could also effortlessly ping 60-yard passes too. He enjoyed an incredible and glittering football career winning countless trophies, and individual awards and is currently England’s top scorer of all time. He’s also known for some sumptuous strikes, and one player accidentally recreated one of Rooney’s most famous ever goals. Rooney rocket played out in FIFA 22 FUT The retired legend represented Everton, Derby, and DC United during his illustrious career, but he’s easily most famous for his 13-year spell at Man Utd. Read More: FIFA 22 TOTW revealed – During that time, he was responsible for many memories, including his debut hat-trick and his thumping volley against Newcastle. However, the goal that probably stands out is his outrageous overhead kick against local rivals Manchester City. On February 12, 2011, United were drawing 1-1 against fierce rivals Man City when Rooney popped up late into the game to meet a cross with the most sublime technique so secure the win. You can check out the actual goal here for comparison. Timestamp 2:24 FIFA 22 player mortensamson was deep into a tense FUT Champions game and, just like Nani’s cross years ago, the ball is sent into the box and who’s there to meet it with a fly acrobatic, overhead kick? Of course, his Wayne Rooney ICON card. It goes straight into the top corner like the original version of the goal and is pretty much a carbon copy of the famous strike, some would say it defied description. The video is a nice moment celebrating one of football’s greatest-ever talents and is the exact reason why ICONs are in the game.

FIFA 22 player loses 50 million coins as hackers target FUT traders EA SPORTSEA SPORTS is being pressed by the FIFA 22 community for a response after a number of well-known Ultimate Team traders were targeted by hackers, who have stolen their coins and FIFA Points. Some players spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hard-earned cash to improve their FUT experience. Opening packs, picking up top-rated cards, and selling them for a profit allows you to build up your wealth and arguably gain an advantage over your competitors in Rivals and FUT Champs. Nobody does this better than traders – making them a prime target for hackers, as they have the most assets to snatch away. FIFA 22 hacker problem emerges In January 2022, a number of fairly large trading accounts have stated on Twitter that they have been affected by hackers. A full list of those affected can be found below, courtesy of SAF – SBC Tips, and it includes the likes of Bateson, FUT Donkey, and more. FIFA 22 players affected by hacking NickRTFM – FUTDonkey – seleiro_joao – bateson87 – futflipper – CPoolworaluk – fut_fg – xNoahHD1 – chazy90 – FUTstarzkadabra – Trymacs – Zanomind – TisiSchubecH – Hacked player speaks out FUT Donkey was hacked on January 5 and has since walked people through their experience with a few tweets. They said: “When I got hacked yesterday I was able to log in on console before they moved my coins and I decided to delete my club and hope EA would restore it later, this would also stop the hackers from getting any money from my coins. Here is the video of it as proof…” In a follow-up, the player revealed that once their club had been restored, the coins had been taken away. And here is my account now,… the club was recovered somehow and they took the coins. This is making me think maybe there is some inside man involved? I don’t know for certain but how can the club be restored after I delete it. There were no EA Help cases, idk how… pic.twitter.com/AbEGqj5hto — FUT Donkey (@FUTDonkey) January 6, 2022 A number of messages have since been sent to Dexerto, with affected players claiming that the game’s developers are not doing enough to communicate about this issue. Speaking to Dexerto, FUT Donkey echoed those sentiments: “Firstly, I would like everyone who has been affected by the hacks to have their content returned. Secondly, the whole security system needs an overhaul, whether that means working with a different company (as it is outsourced) is not for me to say, but this can’t keep happening.” They have since set up a petition, calling for EA to improve its security system, stating in another tweet that the personal information obtained by these hackers is a more frightening prospect than losing their coins. Of which, 50 million coins were taken from his account – an enormous amount that will take taken countless hours to obtain… All lost in one swoop. Without answers about how their cases will be handled, and what changes will follow to prevent such damaging hacks in the future, Dexerto has reached out to EA SPORTS for comment. Update: EA statement EA SPORTS has since released the following statement. “We’ve been made aware of recent account takeover attempts and are currently investigating. “More information on how to secure your account, including how to enable two-factor authentication, can be found here,” along with a link to their 2FA tutorial page. Affected players have been left disappointed with the response, and some have admitted they are now looking into legal advice.

FIFA 22 Perks explained: Boost your team in Pro Clubs & Career Mode EA SPORTSFIFA 22’s new Perks system is designed to give players more control over player development, which applies in both Pro Clubs and Career Mode. Here’s everything you need to know. Information about FIFA 22 keeps on pouring out left, right, and center. We’ve learned everything there is about Pro Clubs and Career Mode. Well, almost everything. The developers divulged even more information during a deep dive on both modes, and one of the things that stood out the most was the new Perks system. Let’s look at what it is and how it applies to both Career Mode and Pro Clubs. How do FIFA 22 Perks work? The Perks system is a new feature designed to give players more control over the growth and development of their custom players. As custom players level up, they unlock different Perks, which can give them an extra performance boost. A maximum of three can be equipped at any given time, and some of them will only trigger when certain conditions have been met. Since custom players are available in both Pro Clubs and Career Mode, the new Perks system applies to them both. However, there are some unique ones exclusive to Career Mode. But first, we’ll start with Pro Clubs. How to use Perks in FIFA 22 Pro Clubs Perks are a great way to improve your Virtual Pro in Pro Clubs. They allow you to tweak the development of your custom player to suit your playstyle, regardless of what it might be. You’ll start off with one Perk Slot unlocked, which can be filled with one of three starter perks. But in time, you’ll unlock new Perks at every level and additional Perk Slots at Level 9 and Level 19. By the time your Virtual Pro has reached the maximum level, you’ll be able to choose three Perks from 26 in total. Here’s a list of them all: FIFA 22 Attacking Perks Distance Shooter: Increases your accuracy and power from long-distance shots. Grants you the Finesse Shot trait and 5-star Weak Foot ability. – One Time Shot: Increases your finishing ability during one-time shots or headers. Grants the Finesse Shot and Power Header Traits and increases your weak foot ability. – Set Piece Beacon: Increases your Heading Attributes during Set Pieces (Free Kick, Corner Kick, Throw-In) for 5 seconds after the ball is in play and grants you the Power Header Trait. – Clutch Finisher: Increases your shooting Attributes during the last 15 minutes and extra time. Grants the Finesse Shot and Power Header Traits and increases your weak foot ability. – Hot Streak: Shooting Attributes boosted for a short time (15 mins) after you score a goal. Grants you the Finesse Shot and Power Header Traits and increases your weak foot ability. – Quick Reply: Shooting Attributes boosted for a short time (15 mins) after conceding a goal. Grants the Finesse Shot and Power Header Traits and increases your weak foot ability. – FIFA 22 Chance Creation Perks Assist Streak: Boosts Passing Attributes for a short time (15 mins) after assisting a goal and grants the player the Swerve Pass trait. – Skilled Dribbler: Increases a player’s dribbling and skill move abilities when dribbling with a ball while also granting them the Flair trait. – Set Piece Specialist: Increases your players abilities during set-pieces. Grants you the Giant Throw In and Set Play Specialist Trait. – Active First Touch: Increases your ball control, acceleration, and sprint speed after a first touch. – Threaded Pass: Increases through-pass and lofted through-pass accuracy (Vision). Grants the player the swerve trait and 5-star weak foot ability. – Precision Pass: Increases the player’s normal pass accuracy and speed (Short Pass + Long Pass) and grants players the Swerve trait and 5-star weak foot ability. – Tireless Runner: Grants the Second Wind and Solid Player Traits. – Pinpoint Cross: Increases crossing accuracy and ability when performing a cross and grants the player the Swerve trait and a 5-star weak foot ability. – FIFA 22 Defensive Perks Defensive Closer: Increases the defending Attributes in the final 15 minutes + extra time of a match. – Last Defender: Increases your defending Attributes when you are the last player back. – Lock Down: Defending Attributes boosted for a short time (15 mins) after your team scores a goal. – Cool Head: Defending Attributes boosted for a short time (15 mins) after your team concedes a goal. – Ball Winner: Boosts jockey speed when the player does the Jockey or Sprint Jockey actions and increases the player’s tackling ability. – Physical Strength: Boosted strength, ball control, and jumping when jostling, shielding, or heading the ball. – FIFA 22 Goalkeeper Perks GK Clutch Save: GK Attributes boosted in the final 15 minutes + extra time of a match. – GK Fast Rush: GK speed boosted when GK is sprinting or rushing. – GK Quick Reflex: GK reflexes and reactions boosted when saving. – GK One on One: GK abilities boosted in one vs one situations for 5 seconds. – GK Far Reach: Good at saving Distance Shots. – GK Set Piece Expert: GK Attributes boosted during Set Pieces (Penalty Kick, Free Kick, Corner Kick, Throw-In) for 5 seconds after the ball is in play. – How to use Perks in FIFA 22 Career Mode Perks work a little differently in Career Mode. You won’t need to worry about unlocking Perk Slots. They will already be available right out of the gate. But you’ll still need to unlock individual Perks as your custom player levels up. All of the Perks mentioned above are available in Career Mode. However, it also includes three special ones with a team-wide effect: Chance Creation: Boost Passing abilities for ALL teammates — Vision, Passing (Short/Long), Crossing, and Curve. – Attacking Support: Boost Attacking abilities for ALL teammates — Attacking Positioning, Finishing, Long Shots, and Shot Power. – Defensive Cover: Boost Defensive abilities for ALL teammates — Defensive Awareness, Interceptions, and Tackling (Stand/Slide). – Regardless of which mode you’ll be playing the most, Perks are a great way to boost your custom player and, in effect, boost the team overall. So, once you’ve unlocked them all and applied them to your custom player and/or team, you’ll be well on your way to getting the most out of every performance.

FIFA 22 player brings Ted Lasso to Career Mode and it’s perfect EA Sports/Apple TVFIFA 22’s Create A Club offers a ton of features, including the ability to customize your team’s manager, and one player has already put it to great use bringing Ted Lasso into the game. Played by Jason Sudeikis, Ted Lasso is the lead character of the hit Apple TV series of the same name. He’s an American Football coach hired to lead the struggling (fictional) Premier League team AFC Richmond. Of course, he’s not officially available in FIFA 22 as a manager, but that didn’t stop one fan who went to surprising lengths to bring Lasso to life in Create A Club. Ted Lasso and Richmond AFC in FIFA 22 Career Mode KGRNxo’s version of Ted was posted to Reddit, and it does bear a striking resemblance to Sudeikis in real life. Though that moustache does leave a bit to be desired, he’s even got the hairstyle on point. Create A Club, neat as it is, does have its limitations as it doesn’t allow players to import third-party images to use for crests or kits. So, Lasso is lacking the Richmond Greyhound on his team shirt. That being said, we can’t think of a better way to stay entertained during career matches than watching the reactions from Ted himself as your team plays through the table. If this player wanted to take things a step further, they could fill out their squad with the full AFC Richmond lineup as well. Seeing as how they went the full nine yards with just their manager, it’s not hard to see them doing just that. FIFA 22 and the revamped Create A Club mode are still in their early days, so we very well could see even more wild creations as time goes on. As things stand, Ted Lasso will be tough to top.

FIFA 22 pass autolock glitch is passing to the wrong team EA SportsA FIFA 22 glitch that’s making players pass the ball to the opposing team is becoming incredibly frustrating, and ruining games for players. In any sports game, but especially FIFA 22, being able to accurately get the ball where you want it to go is key. That’s why this new glitch is so infuriating for players, since it literally sends the ball right where you don’t want it to go… the opposing team. FIFA 22 passes to the wrong player As you can see in the clip below, when the player went to pass out of goal with their keeper, it instead sent the ball to the opposing attacker. With a free shot on goal, they easily find the back of the net, but that’s not what should have happened at all. During the replay, you can clearly see the player was aiming at their own teammate though, which means this is most likely a game-breaking bug. It’s not the first time this issue has come up, either. Simply open up social media or Reddit, and you’ll see a ton of players complaining that passing has been straight up broken for awhile now. “I knew this wasn’t just in my head,” one player replied. “I’ve conceded so many dumb goals because the goalie passes to the wrong player.” It’s not just goalies, as any player on the field can apparently just decide to pass it to the wrong player. Read More: FIFA 22 Team of the Year: The Dexerto TOTY – You may be wondering: Why is this happening? It’s tough to say, but suggestions range from latency with FIFA servers, to a problem with assisted passing, or the game engine simply breaking down. Sadly for some players, though, it will just be an excuse for a poor pass.

FIFA 22 OTW packs release early but there’s already one big problem EA SPORTSEA SPORTS accidentally released FIFA 22 OTW packs ahead of schedule, but players have already identified a massive problem – the packs include gold player cards instead of OTW player cards. FIFA 22 Ones to Watch Team 1 was supposed to release at 6 PM BST/1 PM EST on October 1. However, players were excited to learn that they’ve started receiving their pre-order promotional packs early. But there’s a major issue. A handful of players pointed out the packs do not include OTW player cards. Instead, they include gold players only, which pale in comparison to their OTW counterparts. They’re also urging others to not open any packs received early until after the original release time. They believe it could prevent others from having the same problem, although there’s no guarantee. Those who experienced the problem also slammed EA SPORTS for “absolutely messing up,” with many fearing the mishap may not be fixed at all. Fortunately, EA SPORTS has already acknowledged the situation, and responded accordingly. The FIFA publishers wrote on Twitter, “OTW Pre-Order Player Packs were unintentionally released prior to OTW Player Items being in FIFA 22.” While investigating the issue, they’ve prevented players from being able to open packs to make sure others aren’t affected by it. Moreover, they also confirmed any FUT players who have already opened their Ones to Watch packs early will receive replacements “in the coming days.” OTW Pre-Order Player Packs were unintentionally released prior to OTW Player Items being in FIFA 22. OTW Pre-Order Packs currently can’t be opened while we investigate the issue. Players who opened their Pack prior to OTW release will receive a new OTW Pack in the coming days. — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) October 1, 2021 It’s a relief for all the FIFA 22 players who were unfortunate enough to experience the issue. However, it does mean they will receive their Ones to Watch players later than others who didn’t open their packs early, which may have thrown a spanner in the works for those wanting to build their teams as soon as possible. FIFA 22 officially releases on October 1st. However, this surprise OTW pack issue has already prevented it from being the smoothest of launches.

But, the cream of the crop are the walkout players, and they have one of the quirkiest animations in all sports games.

You’re bound to see one of these eventually when you’re opening packs, and who knows, it very well may be the likes of Ronaldo or Mbappe.

FIFA 22 Ones to Watch tracker: all confirmed upgrades & who will get upgraded next If you’re using a FIFA 22 Ones to Watch card in your Ultimate Team, or just invested in a bunch of the high-rated players, you’ll want to keep up with all the potential and confirmed upgrades: we’ve got you covered for all things about the popular OTW promo. EA SPORTS releases a Ones to Watch promo team filled with big-name players who moved to new clubs in the summer transfer window every year, and that’s no different in FIFA 22 — and this year, the transfers were mouthwatering. Messi, Ronaldo, and Alaba were all on the move, as were Ramos, Hakimi, and plenty more. To make things easier, we’ve put together a list of all FIFA 22’s OTW players, and who could be in line for the next big Ones to Watch upgrade. FIFA 22 Ones to Watch current ratings FIFA 22 OTW cards start out with decent stats already, but have a potential maximum rating of 99 OVR. It is pretty unlikely any of them will ever climb that high in a single season, but it can increase quite a bit. Below are all of the Ones to Watch cards in FIFA 22 and their ratings. How do FIFA 22 OTW upgrades work? FIFA 22 Ones To Watch upgrades are special dynamic items in FIFA Ultimate Team. The premise behind them is simple. Unlike standard cards, their stats will increase throughout the season depending on how the players perform in the real world, and how many games their clubs can win. If a player makes a Team of the Week, their OTW card gets upgraded too. On top of that, EA SPORTS has added another new element to the cards in 2021; any player can get a permanent +1 boost if their real-life football club wins five of ten domestic league matches after October 2. Think of them as stock. As their stats go up, so do their Ultimate Team prices. It adds an unparalleled element of attachment, excitement, and value.

EA job listing reveals “Online Career Mode” possibly for FIFA 22 EA SPORTSFIFA 22 was always going to bring a Career Mode revamp, but players that have been waiting years for a Co-Op function might have a reason to be optimistic this time around – via an EA job advert. In FIFA 21, EA SPORTS announced as part of their pre-launch Pitch Notes that Co-Op would be coming to Ultimate Team. This allows two online players to play FUT at the same time, taking control of one person’s team for matches against other duos. While that change was a positive one for the community, there’s been a long-term craving for a similar feature in Manager Mode, or as it’s known now, Career. The thought of more than one player in an online Career leaves players envious of Football Manager, a series that’s been doing it for years. The longevity it could bring to the game mode, with the option to have more than one manager playing at the same time and making signings from each other’s teams, is something that excites fans. A job advert from the game’s developers might have just boosted the chances of that happening, too. FIFA 21 online Career Mode? As seen in a tweet from UltimateTeamUK, a job description describes the role as: “As an Online Software Engineer, you will help build our networked play development team – whether that be in our online career mode, ultimate team, or core online systems and protocols. “We are looking for engineers who enjoy prototyping and planning, adding amazing new features to an existing and beloved game, and improving existing code.” EA job advert says they’re hiring Online Software Engineers to work on a FIFA “”online career mode”” New feature in FIFA 22? 👀 pic.twitter.com/1fgUXaI63Z — Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) June 3, 2021 Some players have suggested in the replies that it’s a lot of work for just a few months, but this could potentially be an expansion of a team that’s been working on a project for some time. That is, however, unknown – so we can just go off what we have in front of us, a job description. Details are still few and far between in relation to FIFA 22, though. EA are expected to show off the game for the first time this Summer, during their EA Play press conference this July. Before that time, though, fans are left to speculate about what could or could not feature in the next installment. On June 2, after getting our hands on F1 2021 during a preview event, there was another glimmer of hope provided by the game’s new features list. For those out of the loop, EA acquired Codemasters – the developer behind the Formula 1 video game series – back in February 2021. “This is the beginning of an exciting new era for racing games and content as we bring together the talented teams at Electronic Arts and Codemasters,” said Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts. In our F1 2021 preview, it can be seen that the developers (for the first time ever) have introduced a Co-Op Career Mode, allowing friends to work together and race for the same team to win the Constructor’s Championship. Alternatively, they can race against each other for different teams in the Driver’s Championship. With the game now under the EA umbrella, FIFA players have immediately jumped on the news and are hoping similar news comes out for FIFA 22. This job advert could be an indication that internally, they’re working on what is clearly a long-requested feature – that’s featured in the Madden video game series since NFL 13. However, nothing is confirmed as of writing. We’ll have to wait and see how this pans out.

FIFA 22 needs to change its FUT Transfer bans: Castro is not alone EA SPORTSEA SPORTS appears to have an automatic system in place for FIFA 22 that permanently bans players from the FUT Transfer Market, but after suspending Twitch streamer Castro1021 for “coin distribution,” it’s time to revisit that process. Just recently, Dexerto spoke to one of the Turn 10 Studios developers who worked on the Forza Horizon games, and they told us a lot of these processes used to be manual and have since been outsourced to companies not working for the development team. In that game, they have very specific rules for online bans with a tier system. First off, they will send out a warning, then a maximum three-day suspension, and later take further action – such as a permaban – if the user has a history of repeated offenses. It all sounds a lot more reasonable than a permanent ban out of nowhere, doesn’t it? It’s not just Castro: Automatic FUT Market bans are an issue Now, it’s unclear as to whether the FIFA series runs with an automated enforcement policy, but it certainly looks that way. Let’s take a look at the evidence. Think of it, Castro is a massive Twitch streamer who plays – more or less – every single hour of FIFA in front of an audience. That audience is also over 3 million followers strong, so the chances of him distributing coins is highly unlikely as he would be caught very quickly. If a developer was handling this case, there’s no way they would rush into such a long suspension involving what are really serious accusations. After the alert appeared, live on Twitch, he said: “What?! Permanently banned? I just dropped 300k FIFA points on Black Friday and you think I’m coin distributing?!” Correct – he spends thousands of dollars on purchasing FIFA Points every week, which undoubtedly gets more eyes on the promo events. The real reason behind the ban is likely to be the fact that he’s purchasing FUT Champs Red Player Picks cards off the market, for high prices. So, after considering the situation and possible cause of the suspension, Castro’s actually doing a cleaning-up job in the absence of FUT market control. These cards should never be available to any player in the game’s economy, as they are earned through playing Weekend League matches and are apparently untradeable. If EA has a problem with people picking them up and trading them, there needs to be an effective plan in place to ensure they can never be sold. Read More: FIFA 22 Ones to Watch tracker – Their strategy for FUT Transfer Market bans is out of control. It needs to be dealt with because too many innocent players are being caught in the trap. Numerous cases have surfaced in 2021, since FIFA 22 was released on October 1, which show players being accused of coin distribution, FUT market trading on a large scale, and other serious offenses in violation of the company’s policies. FIFA 22 Market bans – Players react In March, it happened to RunTheFUTMarket on FIFA 21. In other cases, players have been hit with the alert out of nowhere. Hi there, Thank you getting in touch about the transfer market ban on your FUT account. This will have been done by our Terms of Service team. You can find out more about the ban in the ‘My Ban History’ page on the EA Help site:- … https://t.co/pZzLqHkYL1— EA Help (@EAHelp) December 3, 2021 Others have been banned for listing players popular in SBC solutions, which is just baffling. Market banned twice in the first 4 weeks like this still not heard back from the second account market ban RTG for me — Jolly Claret (@JollyClaretFUT) November 14, 2021 These are just a handful of examples, of course, but you would think EA’s social channels being swarmed with messages about FUT Market bans would be enough to reassess how these cases are being handled or processed. The situation for Castro1021 will be easy – contact EA directly as he is one of the community’s biggest talents. It will likely be resolved in a day or two, if that. For those who just grind away on FIFA 22 Ultimate Team as a hobby and have been accused of coin distribution, what’s the answer? If anything, these Twitch streamers, when affected, have a responsibility to stand up for the player base. Castro had initially tweeted about the problem and it was met with widespread support by fans of the franchise, but it was swiftly deleted. Perhaps this will increase his chances of being unbanned, or he felt it was a bit reactionary. No matter the case, it’s clearly not just affecting big creators with a following of a few million people. It’s stopping casual players from playing the game – and for that reason, EA needs to revisit their ban enforcement strategy.

FIFA 22 new leagues, teams & stadiums list EA Sports are adding all sorts of new leagues, teams, and stadiums to FIFA 22, so we’ve put together a list of all the rumors and confirmed new content ahead of the game’s release. FIFA 22 is set to release on October 1 and the community is counting down the days before the title arrives. With so many exciting new additions planned for both Ultimate Team and Career Mode, there’s plenty of content no matter how you like to play. As FIFA is a franchise that gets a new title every single year and football is always changing, new teams, stadiums, and leagues are added with every new game in the series. Luckily for us, dataminers have been hard at work ahead of the launch of FIFA 22, figuring which new faces and stadiums we can expect to see in the upcoming title. Contents New teams in FIFA 22 On June 29, Futwatch (part of the Dexerto network) tweeted out a list of clubs that had apparently been added to FIFA 21, but most likely in anticipation of FIFA 22. It’s a seemingly random, scattershot of teams, some of which are even defunct or no longer operational — though some are speculating they could have something to do with the new ICON players, we still don’t know for sure. Below is a list of all the teams: Go Ahead Eagles – Apoel FC – G.D. Estoril Praia – Altay SK – Adana Demirspor – FC U Craiova 1948 – FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin – Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio – Iperzola – FC Presnya Moscow – CIS national football team – ATK Football Club – Concordia Knurow – Real Tamale United – AS Dragons FC de l’Ouémé – RC Paris – B.

The trailer also confirmed the England National League being added, as the players were throwing down on the pitches of Division 5 teams Woking, Barnet, and Stockport, if you look closely.

Will Napoli be in FIFA 22? PES inks exclusive deal with Serie A giant KonamiEA SPORTS have been dealt another major blow in the Serie A for future FIFA games, as Konami have announced an exclusive deal with S.S.C Napoli. In previous seasons, this has very much been a trend for the Italian clubs. While FIFA 21 was the dawn of a new era for the Milan clubs – AC Milan and Inter Milan – becoming partner clubs, in the previous two seasons EA had been pipped by Konami for both Juventus and Roma exclusivity. While playing as Roma FC and Piemonte Calcio may not be favorable for fans, it looks like Napoli supporters are next in line. The deal was announced on April 28, with Gli Azzurri set to join the likes of Barcelona in the group of PES partner clubs. Will Napoli be in FIFA 22? Napoli’s exclusivity will commence from the 2022/23 season, which means they will feature in FIFA 22 – but that will end after that. Naoki Morita, President at Konami Digital Entertainment B.V, said: “With this close partnership between our two companies, we will further establish eFootball PES as the definitive video game series for Italian football. “Showing strong belief in our long-term plan, we are humbled that Napoli chose to sign this exclusive agreement with KONAMI.” While it’s not mentioned in this statement specifically, that will mean the Napoli badge, kits and stadium will only feature in the PES series for the duration of this deal. FIFA players will instead have to look forward to playing at a generic stadium, but with star heads (or face scans) from previous seasons. PES 2022 x Napoli trailer Serena Salvione, Chief International Development Officer at Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli, added:”We are delighted to launch this exclusive partnership with an innovative, international brand such as KONAMI to create content and unique experiences for Napoli fans. KONAMI has further tied its name to the Napoli brand by acquiring the naming rights to the training ground. “This partnership is the latest step in the wider drive towards internationalisation of the Napoli brand that the club has been working on in recent years.” This may be disappointing news for diehard FIFA players, and casual fans of the game series, but it’s certainly a major coup for Konami. Whether or not more clubs will announce new allegiances like this in the run-up to the release of PES 2022 remains to be seen – but it’s a solid start.

FIFA 22 Marco Asensio Adidas Numbers Up SBC: Is it worth it? EA SPORTS have released a brand new Adidas Numbers up SBC for Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio, but is it worth it? We’ve got the answer to that and how to complete this squad-building challenge. Asensio’s new SBC came out at the same time as the FIFA 22 Adidas Numbers up promo began on November 12. The Numbers Up cards are hand-selected FUT stars that will receive focused boosts through a live system during the FIFA 22 cycle. That means one of the six stats on the Real Madrid winger’s card will climb over the next few months. But for now, he’s already sporting a massive boost to Dribbling, bumped up to a 91 for this 85 OVR card. The fact it will be getting upgrades going forward and it isn’t extremely expensive definitely makes this one to consider knocking out. Here’s the full stats, along with rewards, requirements, and general price. Marco Asensio Adidas Numbers Up SBC stats How to complete FIFA 22 Asensio SBC – Adidas Numbers Up Rewards 1 Small Prime Mixed Players Pack – 1 Small Prime Gold Players Pack – Marco Asensio Numbers Up player card — 85 OVR — RW – Asensio Numbers Up SBC Requirements There are just two sets of requirements to complete this SBC and unlock Asensio’s new Numbers Up promo card: Tactical Emulation, and LaLiga. The full list of requirements as well as a cheap solution for both can be found below: Tactical Emulation Number of players from Real Madrid: Min 1 – In Form Players: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 82 – Team Chemistry: Min 80 – Number of players in the Squad: 11 – Reward: 1 Small Prime Mixed Players Pack – Solution LaLiga Number of players from LaLiga Santander: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 84 – Team Chemistry: Min 75 – Number of players in the Squad: 11 – Reward: 1 Small Prime Gold Players Pack – Solution There you have it — how to complete Marco Asensio’s new Adidas Numbers Up promo SBC in FIFA 22, according to FUTBIN solutions. Marco Asensio Adidas Numbers Up SBC price Like we mentioned earlier, part of what makes this SBC attractive is that it’s not incredibly expensive. Put together these two squads will cost around 44,000 FUT Coins on Playstation, 48,000 on Xbox, and 48,000 on Origin PC. These prices could very well change due to the uncertainly of the FIFA 22 market. But overall Asensio’s Numbers Up card is definitely worth picking up before it expires on November 19.

How to complete Marco Verratti Rulebreakers FIFA 22 SBC: cost & solutions EA SPORTS / DexertoA new FIFA 22 Rulebreakers SBC has dropped for Marco Verratti, with the Italian midfielder being jacked up to 89 rating. We’ve got a guide right here to complete the SBC at the lowest possible cost, including the four squad solutions. The FIFA 22 Rulebreakers promotion is continuing, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti the latest to join the roster of game-breaking cards. The Italian isn’t the most commanding presence on the pitch normally, but with a huge upgrade to his Physical and Dribbling stats, he can stay on the ball with ease with his Rulebreakers card. Here’s how you can complete the Marco Verratti Rulebreakers SBC in FIFA 22, including the cheapest solutions and total cost. FIFA 22 Verratti Rulebreakers SBC Marco Verratti Rulebreakers in-game stats Verratti’s Rulebreaker card is an interesting one. He’s not a pace demon, only getting a +8 update to 72; but he has made up for it with plenty of Dribbling (93) and Physical (88). Sure, he stands at 5’5”, but if he can get the ball at his feet, he will dominate. The Rulebreakers card does have a double-edged sword — his Passing has been culled by 6, down to 81. It’s not the end of the world, but it does limit him to being a strictly central player, floating around in CDM. How to complete FIFA 22 Verratti Rulebreakers SBC You will have to part with a fair bit of fodder to get the FIFA 22 Marco Verratti Rulebreakers card — the SBC will chew up four squads worth of players. However, none of the requirements are particularly bank-breaking, so if you’ve played the market right in the first few weeks you should be able to afford the card with ease.

However, considering the requirements are an absolute breeze, you shouldn’t have any problems getting it done on time!

FIFA 22 makes major changes to Division Rivals: Season 4 update explained EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have dropped big changes to FIFA 22 Division Rivals on February 3 — just in time for the Season 4 update. The update has abolished Ranks in each Division, and converted Intermediary Ranks into Checkpoints to save your progress. Division Rivals has been contentious in FIFA 22 for more than one reason. After the Ultimate Team experience underwent a major overhaul for this year’s release with a seasonal progression system based on wins and losses rather than skill rating (until the very top). However, the community felt the rewards offered didn’t reflect the amount of effort needed to stay on top, and an exodus began. In the new year, EA SPORTS is, at least attempting to, address the mode’s problems in Season 4. The major change is the removal of Ranks in Division Rivals. This means no matter if you’re at the top or bottom of a Division, you’ll receive the same rewards. There will also be extra Stages in Divisions 1-4 to reach some of the game’s higher ranks, making the grind to the top a bit harder. Read More: How to get Mascots in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team – However, the Checkpoints for safe progress will still remain. Intermediary Ranks will be converted into Checkpoints to ensure you won’t fall from the top of your Division to the bottom based on a bad day. On top of that, rewards are being adjusted to be more balanced. The accomplishment of pushing to those top Divisions should feel like a bigger jump than it was with Ranks, with the rewards bolstered to justify it. An extra Stage has been introduced to reach the next Division for Divisions 4, 3, 2 and 1. All Divisions will now have only one Rank. Intermediary Ranks will be converted into Checkpoints, acting as safe points on the path towards the next Division, with no impact on rewards. — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) February 4, 2022 The changes have come into effect immediately with the launch of FIFA 22 Season 4 on Feb. 3. The first set of new Division Rivals rewards will drop on Feb. 10.

FIFA 22 devs rush out long-awaited Ground Pass changes in update EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have rushed out a minor FIFA 22 patch that makes long-awaited changes to Ground Pass interceptions. It will soon be available on the PC version, with the console versions getting it shortly after. On January 12, EA SPORTS released FIFA 22 Title Update #4. It tweaked several things, including shooting, passing, goalkeepers, and more. One of the most significant changes was making Driven Passes more likely to be intercepted. They followed it up with a minor update on January 31 that deals with one problem and one problem only; the likelihood of a player retaining the ball after intercepting or blocking a Ground Pass. Title Update #5 will soon be available for the PC (Origin/Steam) version of FIFA 22. TU notes are available below.https://t.co/BCbhxSNnCZ — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) February 1, 2022 As mentioned above, this update increases the likelihood of a player retaining the ball after intercepting or blocking a Ground Pass. However, it does not impact how often Ground Passes are intercepted or blocked. It only affects the outcome. In other words, the ball is expected to rebound less often from intercepts and blocks than it has in the past. This has been a frustrating problem for players who often find themselves not being rewarded for reading the play. And that’s all there is to know about FIFA 22 Title Update #5. It’s not the biggest patch by any means, but it does address something that has been a problem for a long time now. The patch will also make its way onto console versions of the game in the coming weeks — assuming that it goes off without a hitch. As always, you can stay in the loop with all the latest FIFA news right here at Dexerto.
