This year’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Christmas promo event is called FUT 21 Freeze. We provide you with an overview of all new players, maps and SBCs of the promo. If you don’t have FIFA yet, you can still buy it here for PS4 , Xbox and PC !
FUT 21 Freeze caused question marks in the heads of the players after the announcement : This year’s Freeze event replaces the popular FUTmas promo from the previous year. But the new promo in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team has a lot more to offer than it appears at first glance. We’ll tell you which players, cards & SBCs you can expect in FUT 21 Freeze and what the Icon Swaps 1 is all about.
Update: The current FUT Freeze Player SBC
Day 13 of the FUT Freeze promotion features a Bundesliga forward. The Brazilian Joao Victor from VFL Wolfsburg convinces with high pace and dribbling values and also has five stars weak foot . Otherwise, there is not necessarily much that would speak in favor of the attacker. For around 132,000 coins, it’s not exactly cheap. The SBC is hardly worth it.
In addition, on the penultimate day of the Christmas event, there is a Major League Soccer Silver Star player : Jürgen Damm from Mexico, which can be earned via the “FUT Friendly: Silver Lounge” mode.
FUT 21 Freeze: All Players, Maps, SBCs & Objectives
The FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Freeze event has started. As it turns out, this year’s Christmas promo packs a punch in the popular FUT mode. The maps are based on the Shapeshifters from the previous year’s version.
So you can expect players who are in a different position and that includes sometimes powerful rating boosts , weak foot upgrades or other improvements . Here is the overview of all new FUT 21 Freeze maps:
FUT Freeze Team
- ST: Sadio Mane (FC Liverpool) – 92 OVR
- IV: Casemiro (Real Madrid) – 90 OVR
- LM: Marco Verratti (Paris St.-Germain) – 88 OVR
- ZOM: Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) – 88 OVR
- RF: Lautaro Martinez (Inter Mailand) – 87 OVR
- ST: Thorgan Hazard (Borussia Dortmund) – 86 OVR
- LV: Lucas Torreira (Atletico Madrid) – 85 OVR
- ZOM: Who (Orlando City) – 84 OVR
- ZDM: Ricardo Rodriguez (FC Turin) – 83 OVR
- ZDM: Salif Sane (Schalke 04) – 83 OVR
- RV: Alexandr Golovin (AS Monaco) – 83 OVR
New players from December 22nd
- ZDM: Giorgio Chiellini – 89 OVR
- ST: Allan Saint-Maximin – 86 OVR
- ST: Ousmane Dembélé – 86 OVR
- IV: Robin Gosens – 85 OVR
- RV: Alexandre Moreno – 84 OVR
So you see, some of the cards are damn strong. For example, with the right chem style (marksman) , Sadio Mane has a 95 OVR in attack , while Casemiro has become the best central defender in Spanish La Liga (94 OVR). A strong promo that should still contain one or the other interesting SBC and thus allows completely new team compositions.

FUT Freeze: This content is coming
As can now be seen from the updated FIFA 21 loading screen, the content of the new freeze promo in FIFA Ultimate Team is based on that of last year’s FUTmas. However, we can only expect one player SBC per day – so does EA Sports focus on quality rather than quantity?
The following content awaits us:
- 1 neues FUT Freeze Team
- 1 new RTTF team for UCL & UEL
- 1 player SBC per day
- 1 Puzzle-SBC pro Tag
- Icon Swaps 1
The FUT Freeze event will probably last 14 days, culminating in the best Squad Building Challenges on December 25th, just in time for Christmas. EA Sports will announce which players are expecting us in the FUT Freeze team on Friday evening. The SBC players will probably be revealed every evening at 7:00 p.m. German time.
FIFA 21 Ultimate Team: Icon Swaps 1 starten
In addition to the new Freeze cards, however, the Icon Swaps 1 also start in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. While we still don’t know exactly which players are included, it’s at least clear what to expect.
Each icon card in the Icon Swaps costs a certain number of so-called Player Tokens . These are player items earned by completing various quests. You then need these tokens to secure the coveted FIFA 21 icon cards. This time there are even two of the new FUT 21 icons :
FUT 21 Icon Swaps 1 – These icons are included
- LF: Thierry Henry (90 OVR) – Requires 17 Tokens
- ZDM: Frank Rijkaard (90 OVR) – benotigt 14 Token
- IV: Ronald Koeman (91 OVR) – requires 13 tokens
- ST: Davor Suker (87 OVR) – requires 11 tokens
- ZDM: Gheorge Hagi (89 OVR) – benötigt 9 Token
- IV: Nemanja Vidic (85 OVR) – requires 7 tokens
This means that fewer icons are directly available than last year. Additional rewards in the form of packs await in FIFA 21 Ultimate team:
- Get 2 Ultimate Packs for 2 Swap Tokens
- For 3 tokens you get a pack of 5 players who have at least 85 OVR
- For 8 tokens there is a base icon pack with a random base icon
- For 10 tokens 1 pack beckons, in which there is either a base or mid icon.
- For 16 tokens you get a mid icon pack which hides an icon with 89 OVR or more.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
