FIFA 21 Headliners promo LIVE: Yedder, Fernandes, Fabinho EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has officially announced the next Ultimate Team promo, and it may be a bit surprising: many FUT fans were expecting Team of the Year to drop next, but instead we\u2019re getting \u201cHeadliners\u201d as we ring in the new year. [jwplayer q2PHNyT5] Events across FIFA 21 have been all jumbled and out of whack \u2014 perhaps in an effort to befuddle Ultimate Team investors \u2014 and apparently, the start of 2021 is going to be no different; \u201cHeadliners\u201d is the next promo. Headliners are interesting Ultimate Team cards, first introduced last year. The bright orange special cards work in a similar fashion to \u201cOne to Watch cards. Real-life performances affect their value. Team of the Week, Team of the Group Stage, Hero, and Man of the Match cards all impact a Headliner card\u2019s overall rating. The key difference between Headliners and OTWs, however, is the newer card always stays +1 above the player\u2019s highest card. It basically means it\u2019s always going to be valuable, and stay ahead of the curve to boot. Without further ado, here\u2019s everything else we know about Headliners 2021 including the brand new team. When did \u2018Headliners\u2019 begin? Headliners was already been confirmed to be starting New Year\u2019s week, according to leaks uncovered by popular Ultimate Team dataminer FutWatch on Dec. 29. As predicted the promo will start on the very first day of the new year, Friday, January 1. The event should run for just over a fortnight, and end in mid-January. Considering the promo has been tipped to last for two weeks, there\u2019s every chance we\u2019ll actually see two teams for this promo. This has not yet been confirmed, however, and we\u2019ll update you if it is. The fact that this team is called \u201cTeam 1\u201d is a good sign we\u2019ll indeed be getting another later on. Keep your eyes peeled on our Twitter accounts, @UltimateTeamUK and @FutWatch, to see the breaking news. Headliners leaks As is customary with all FIFA 21 promos this year, EA SPORTS \u201cleaked\u201d a number of cards early \u2014 or at least, revealed details about them. This time around, for Headliners, we were looking at three pretty interesting cards too. The first is a Monaco star, the second is a center forward with 88 shooting, and the third and final card teased on the Ultimate Team loading screen is a Brazilian star with 85 physical as one of their stats.

That means we did indeed see Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco), Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix (CF), and Fabinho (Brazilian). Ring in the new year #FUT21 style with #Headliners \ud83d\udd25 Special unique dynamic player items that are permanently upgraded with the potential for futher upgrades based on individual *and* team performances throughout the 2020\/21 season!https:\/\/t.co\/YiB3Be9znH pic.twitter.com\/wU1fWOqvyF \u2014 EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) January 1, 2021 Headliners lineup: who made the team? Last year, the best performers of the year were given the tip by EA SPORTS for the Headliners lineup. All-star footballers like Neymar Jr, Robert Lewandowski, Mohamed Salah, and plenty more huge names graced the star-studded FIFA 20 promo team. The trend, it seems, is based on how many in-form TOTW cards those players had already raked in, and their on-the-pitch performances too. This year EA isn\u2019t giving us as many powerhouse cards with Headliners, but Bruno Fernandes, Zaha, and the rest should do just fine, especially if they\u2019re able to bump the stats up over time. The full list of Headliners Team 1 players is below: Bruno Fernandes (Man U) – Fabinho (Liverpool) – Ben Yedder (AS Monaco) – Wilfred Zaha (Crystal Palace) – Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad) – Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid) – Jonathan Bomba (Lille OSC) – Henrikh Mkhitaryan – Lukas Hradecky (Bayer Leverkusen) – Martin Hinteregger (Eintracht Frankfurt) – Jordan Amavi (Marseille) – So there you have it \u2014 everything we know about FIFA 21\u2019s next Ultimate Team promo, Headliners, so far. Make sure you keep a few FUT coins in your back pocket; if the event is anything like last year, there\u2019s some cracking cards on the way! We\u2019ll update this article when the promo begins.
