FIFA 22 FUT Captains is widely expected to be the last promo before Team of the Season gets underway, but that’s not to say that EA are pulling any punches. Team 1 offered up massive boosts to the likes of Marco Reus and Wissam Ben Yedder, as well as Heroes like Antonio Di Natalie.

FIFA 22 FUT Captains Team 2 revealed
FIFA 22 FUT Captains Team were released into Ultimate Team on Friday, April 15 at 6 PM GMT. Also Team 1 is gone from packs, and those players will return to their normal versions.
Team 2 will remain in packs until the following week on Friday, April 22, before being replaced by whatever EA has up its sleeve next.
FIFA 22 FUT Captains upgrades explained
Unlike recent promos like Fantasy FUT or Road to the Final, FIFA 22 FUT Captains are not live cards that can be upgraded as the year goes on. Instead, each featured player receives a huge one-off boost to their stats that will remain in place permanently.
The FUT Captains event concentrates on two types of players. Firstly, it hands out special cards to the very best leaders in the game, who are well known for wearing the armband for their respective clubs.
Secondly, it concentrates on bringing the FUT Heroes that were new to FIFA 22 more in line with the current meta. These fan favorites were a welcome addition this year, but have fallen further behind with each passing promo, so FUT Captains inflates their stats to make them more viable.
