Here\u2019s everything we know about the 2021 promo event so far. Ultimate Team this year has been flooded with new and returning promos. These limited-time events are what Ultimate Team club owners look forward to, with new packs being made available with special cards each time. Most recently, we\u2019ve had events like Player Days, the live-card \u201cWhat If\u201d promo, and of course flash-forward event Future Stars. Next week, we should be celebrating FUT with FIFA\u2019s yearly Birthday promo. Before that, however, there\u2019s a good chance EA whips out the \u201crefresh\u201d event to bridge the gap. The annual roster overhaul sees FIFA 21 players bumped up (and sometimes down) in ratings based on live performances. Here\u2019s everything we know about the returning event so far. When does FIFA 21 Winter Refresh start? If EA SPORTS decides to pull the trigger, we should see the Winter Refresh promo begin on March 12. FIFA 21 events have been starting around 6pm GMT (5am AET, 10am PT, 1pm ET) in Ultimate Team, so if the \u201crefresh\u201d promo begins, we will start seeing player cards, updates, and of course pack specials start around that time in-game. Read More: FIFA 21 \u201cWhat If\u201d promo revealed &#8211; This is not an official timeline as EA has not yet confirmed the event, though it\u2019s likely accurate \u2013 give or take a few days \u2013 based on FIFA 20\u2019s schedule. Winter Refresh card design The card design for a number of new promo cards have been very similar to that of FIFA 20, so we don\u2019t expect the FIFA 21 event to change too much. Examples of this would be the Road to the Final cards, which barely altered. Here\u2019s how they looked last year, with a cool blue color. What\u2019s included in Winter Refresh? There\u2019s a number of changes players can expect to see as part of the Winter Refresh promo, based on last year\u2019s event. This includes the following: Ratings changes &#8211; New players &#8211; Winter Refresh promo team &#8211; ICON Moments &#8211; Winter Refresh Objectives &#038; SBCs &#8211; Predictions for Winter Refresh 2021 \u2013 Ratings Upgrades The Winter Refresh promotion celebrates players who performed well in the first half of the season. Last year, EA SPORTS released a proper Winter Refresh promotion team instead of Winter OTW Squads. It helped the cards have a longer shelf-life, which was lacking in the older system. Fortunately, it will be the same this year, too. A minimum of 50 players will receive upgrades between +1 and +3. However, they will only apply to new base items found in packs.
