FIFA 21 \u201cWhat If\u201d promo revealed: Kante, Sancho, Gomez \u201cWhat If?\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s the age-old question people ask every day. Now, EA SPORTS has turned their heads to the same hypothetical, with a brand-new FIFA 21 Ultimate Team promo that is all set to dish out a new lineup of Live Cards. There\u2019s plenty of promos still in the bank for FIFA 21, including Carniball, FUT Birthday, and more, but it looks like EA SPORTS has gone for a new promo this time around. The FIFA 21 publishers are asking \u201cWhat If?\u201d in another Live Card event which will be based around real-life football moments, like the popular Headliners event that ran earlier this year. EA officially announced the start of the promo on February 26, and heavily hinted at it beforehand with a number of teasers spread across the FIFA 21 loading screen when booting up Ultimate Team. Without further ado, here\u2019s what\u2019s been announced for the \u201cWhat If?\u201d promo so far. \u201cWhat If?\u201d FIFA 21 promo announced This new promo introduces opportunities for players to elevate their games, with boosted special items presented with \u201cWhat If\u201d scenarios to earn a potential additional ratings upgrade.

On the other side of the pitch, Defenders & Goalkeepers will upgrade if the player\u2019s club keeps at least one clean sheet over their next five domestic league matches. When will \u201cWhat If?\u201d cards be upgraded? We saw the first promo team drop at 6 pm GMT on Friday, February 26, exactly like the countdown said it would. According to EA, \u201cWhat If\u201d Upgrade Tracking for the first team will start right on Feb. 26, and the day any new team is announced going forward. If a team plays on the same day as an item\u2019s release, that will only count if the match kicks off after the item is released into the game.
