FIFA 22 leaks reveal 2 ICONs, custom tactics & gameplay EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have started to reveal FIFA 22 changes, but FIFA 22 leaks have beaten them to the punch as details have been spilled on gameplay, FUT Champs Weekend League, and custom tactics. The next installment of the FIFA series is coming in early October, with plenty of new content to look forward to. As players look forward to getting their hands on Ultimate Team and other modes early, via Early Access or the beta, one reliable leaker has broken silence on a whole host of things that are set to change. Usually, when signing up for a beta version, an agreement is made between the publisher\/developer and creators to not show off content early \u2013 but each year there\u2019s always somebody who steps over the mark. On June 23, around a month before EA\u2019s big FIFA 22 showcase, KingLangpard has posted a load of new leaked content. Contents FIFA 22 leaks – Gameplay and custom tactics – Player Rating Leaks – FIFA 22 meta leaks – FIFA 22 crossplay leaks – Heatmaps and expected goals – FUT Champs format – FIFA 22 FUT champs rewards – FIFA 22 ICONs leaks – Stadiums – New teams and leagues – FIFA 22 beta leaks emerge The Twitch streamer has been teasing new info on his timeline for some time now, previously hinting at some changes to FUT Champs Weekend League\u2019s format for qualification. Read More: Career Mode features – First up, the game menu was leaked \u2013 showing off the FIFA 22 beta logo in the top left corner. After being probed about whether or not this is the final design, Langpard wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s in the beta, it could be changed before full release.\u201d Gameplay and custom tactics After running a poll on whether or not he should leak gameplay or custom tactics details next, Langpard\u2019s fans decided gameplay was the priority to learn about next. However, in the comments, Langpard did confirm custom tactics have experienced a \u201cgood bit of change\u201d since FIFA 21. In the tweets that followed, Langpard revealed what\u2019s included in the beta so far in terms of gameplay changes. He said: \u201cPlayer Switching: When defending, pressing R3 lets you choose between 3 of the closest players and they all have an arrow set for the direction you flick R3 towards Can still also use R1 or flick the right stick as normal. \u201c2nd man press: It is nerfed a bit, there\u2019s a little green arrow above the player that is 2nd man pressing and it depletes quickly (3-4 seconds max), soon as it depletes the player\u2019s press isn\u2019t as intense and basically non-existent, also pulls your player out of position.\u201d On June 26, 2021, @FUTZONECENTRAL seemed to confirm Langpard\u2019s earlier comment about a \u201cgood bit of change\u201d coming by Tweeting out what they claimed was leaked info on FIFA 22: players finally being given the ability to customize their offensive tactics. Here\u2019s apparently how tactics work in #FIFA22: You can customise your offensive tactics \ud83d\udc40 \u2013 Build up Play ( Balanced , Slow Build up, Fast Build up , Long Ball) \u2013 Chance Creation ( Balanced , Possession , Forward Runs , Direct Passing ) \u2013 No change on defensive tactics \u274c pic.twitter.com\/R2ORLE1uU8\u2014 FUTZone \u2013 EA SPORTS FC News \ud83d\udd3a (@FUTZONEFIFA) June 26, 2021 Areas like how your team builds up play and creates chances with passing and runs will all be directly customizable by players. Unfortunately, while there\u2019ll be many more options on the offensive side of the ball, FIFA 22 won\u2019t see a similar feature for defensive tactics. Player Rating leaks TikTok user and leaker Mavzfut has claimed to have found the ratings of 32 players ahead of FIFA 22\u2019s launch and revealed the full list in a short video. You can check out the full list below, but remember to take the ratings with a pinch of salt as nothing has been confirmed by EA: Lionel Messi \u2013 93 – Cristiano Ronaldo \u2013 93 – Robert Lewandowski \u2013 93 – Kevin de Bruyne \u2013 92 – Kylian Mbappe \u2013 92 – Jan Oblak \u2013 91 – Marc-Andre ter Stegen \u2013 90 – Mohamed Salah \u2013 90 – Neymar Jr. \u2013 90 – Karim Benzema \u2013 90 – Virgil Van Dijk \u2013 90 – Bruno Fernandes \u2013 89 – Manuel Neuer \u2013 89 – Son Heung-min \u2013 89 – Thibaut Courtois \u2013 89 – Alisson Becker \u2013 88 – Sergio Ramos \u2013 88 – Jadon Sancho \u2013 88 – Trent Alexander-Arnold \u2013 87 – Paul Pogba \u2013 87 – Raphael Varane \u2013 86 – Marcus Rashford \u2013 86 – David De Gea \u2013 85 – Edinson Cavani \u2013 85 – Joao Cancelo \u2013 85 – Kyle Walker \u2013 85 – Luke Shaw \u2013 85 – Harry Maguire \u2013 84 – Achraf Hakimi \u2013 84 – Aaron Wan-Bissaka \u2013 84 – Ferland Mendy \u2013 84 – Scott McTominay \u2013 82 – FIFA 22 meta leaks The meta is always an ever-changing debate in FIFA 22, with certain tactics giving players an advantage in-game. This time, it looks like headers are back with a bang in the beta. In relation to the meta, Langpard simply said: \u201cSo far, the crossing and heading meta seems very overpowered.\u201d Read More: Career Mode training tips for FIFA 22 – One of the meta formations in previous years has been the 4-3-2-1, where players can move around wingers into forward positions to get pace into their most offensive positions. In FIFA 22, though, it looks as if that formation and others like it are set to change. According to ChampVG, the three forwards will now be CF positions, meaning strikers can be put into those slots with position change cards, but no longer wingers. FIFA 22 leak: LF & RF positions in formations like 4-3-2-1 will apparently change to CF Source: @ChampVG pic.twitter.com\/yQB8cLBUtV \u2014 Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) June 27, 2021 FIFA 22 crossplay leaks As of now, there\u2019s little info as to whether FIFA 22 will have crossplay. However, according to a recent leak from FIFA leaker Donk, FIFA 23 could have crossplay. While this doesn\u2019t give us any information towards whether or not FIFA 22 will have the feature, it\u2019s exciting to think that if it could be coming for fans in the future. FIFA 22 heatmaps and expected goals In a series of other leaks, it looks as if heatmaps will be introduced in FIFA 22, giving players another layer of stats analysis to look at for each player on the pitch. Not only that, but the infamous \u2018expected goals\u2019 will be added to player and team stats. New & Updated heat maps are in FIFA 22.\u2757\ufe0f\u2757\ufe0f\u2757\ufe0f Expected goals are now included as a stat too! \ud83d\udcca#LangpardLeaks #FIFA22 pic.twitter.com\/sTpsiawwTz \u2014 Langpard (@KingLangpard) June 26, 2021 Pre-match jumpers Instead of wearing just the basic shirt and shorts attire before matches, players will reportedly wear tracksuits for club and country \u2013 according to leaked images. NEW ON #FIFA22 \ud83d\udc40 Players will wear team jumpers when lining up \ud83d\ude4c DAMN seems like a nice feature \u2b50\ufe0f@fifawitcher pic.twitter.com\/uw9bniSQgM \u2014 FUTZone \u2013 EA SPORTS FC News \ud83d\udd3a (@FUTZONEFIFA) June 26, 2021 FUT Champs format Back on April 29, KingLangpard also revealed a format change for Weekend League. In the new format, he claims there will be less than 30 games to play and qualification will be required every week. They posted: \u201cWeekend League Qualification required every week. 5 games to play, need to win three or more for qualification. Can only enter three times in a week.\u201d \ud83c\udf99 From @KingLangpard: \u201cWeekend League Qualification required every week. 5 games to play, need to win 3 or more for qualification. Can only enter 3 times a week.\u201d Sounds interesting. \u2014 Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) April 29, 2021 This is a familiar format, of course, in terms of qualifying \u2013 used in previous games as a mini tournament to enter. Though, the shift towards a lower amount of games than 30 will be a welcome one for players. FIFA 22 FUT Champs rewards In relation to rewards, he said: \u201cThere will be certain players in rewards, and now the higher the rank you are the better version of the player you will get!\u201d If this turns out to be accurate, there may never be a more important time to climb the ranks in FUT Champs than in FIFA 22. We\u2019ll have to wait and see how it all shapes up. FIFA 22 ICONs leaks Abedi Ayew Pele played for all the seemingly random clubs that got added to the code today \ud83e\udd14 \u2014 FUT Watch (@FutWatch) June 29, 2021 On June 29 FUTWatch (part of the Dexerto Network) discovered what looks like a bunch of random clubs hidden away in the code of a FIFA 21 update, but meant for the next game.
