FIFA 22 FUT Birthday leaks: Start date, Tokens, SBC & more

The FUT promo calendar might have been left with a glaring hole in it for March, but new FIFA 22 leaks have revealed FUT Birthday is next in line – with some big changes in order. 

FIFA 22 players have already seen Team of the Year and all the festivities that come with it, meaning the next major annual promotion is the celebration of Ultimate Team’s inception.

Here’s everything we know so far about FUT Birthday 2022.

What to expect

According to leaks from FUT Sheriff, a reliable source in the FIFA community, the promo will change the skill star rating and weak foot of players picked to be included. For example, a player with a poor weak foot in-game may be upgraded with a boosted card.

This has been a tradition for FUT Birthday, so players shouldn’t be surprised to see the news.

However, the Token System – which allows players to swap them for FUT items in SBCs – will also be featured, according to Sheriff.

What that looks like, at the time of writing, remains to be seen. But it would be a big shift away from how EA usually rolls out content for this event.

There will be a whole host of Squad Building Challenges and Objectives content throughout the week, with some being leaked ahead of time.

Team 1

As is the case with many of FIFA 22’s promos, this campaign is rumored to consist of two teams released a full week apart. The first batch of cards has already started to surface on social media.

FUT Birthday Team 1 will supposedly feature some big-name stars, including Jack Grealish, Roberto Firmino, and Paulo Dybala.

The first confirmed card and upgrade details are already in the bag though as Fut Sheriff revealed a hot new promo card for Real Madrid midfield maestro Toni Kroos. The German prince of passing is set for a huge boost that will see his weak foot and skill moves be increased to 5*/5*.

More are sure to leaked in the next few days as well.

SBC: Guimaraes

One of the SBC players is expected to be Newcastle’s newest midfield signing, Bruno Guimaraes, who penned a deal with the club during the January transfer window.

Objectives: Tammy Abraham

Roma striker Tammy Abraham, formerly of Chelsea, will get an upgraded striker card during the promo – according to FUT Sheriff and FIFA 22 news.

We will continue to add FIFA 22 FUT Birthday leaks to this page as they roll in, whether it be for the players included in the team itself, SBCs, or Objectives.
