FIFA 22 Fantasy FUT Team 2 start date
The event is expected to run for two weeks, so we’re also expecting a second lot of Fantasy FUT players on Friday, March 25, 2022.
FIFA 22 Fantasy FUT upgrades explained
Fantasy FUT is likely to be FIFA 22’s answer to the What If promo that saw great success in last year’s game.
Players can expect to see their favorite FUT stars given drastically juiced-up cards, which can then be upgraded further if their real-life counterparts meet certain criteria.
For example, leaks have suggested that every Fantasy FUT player will have three opportunities to be boosted. They will receive a +1 rating if they:
- Play in three out of the next five matches
- Win one out of the next five matches
- Score or assist once (ATK / MID) in the next five matches
- Keep one clean sheet (DEF / GK) in the next five matches
Based on the name “Fantasy FUT,” EA seems to be doubling down on the fantasy football concept, so expect these new cards to be closely tied to how real-world matches play out, and how individual players perform.
That was everything we know so far about FIFA 22 Fantasy FUT! More and more details should emerge as we get close to the start date, so be sure to check back here for the latest update. For more of the latest news and guides, head over to our dedicated FIFA page.
