In the brand new FUT event What If you can expect another squad of dynamic special cards. How do the upgrades work? Where do the players stand? We’ll tell you in the FUT 21 What If tracker.

On February 26th, a brand new promo event made its debut in FIFA 21: FUT 21 What If. Compared to the popular FUT Headliners or Ones to Watch, the player upgrades work a bit differently. You can find all information and upgrades in our What If Tracker.

FUT 21 What If Tracker (UPDATE)

On the weekend of 09 – 11 April, there has been another shift in the FUT What If cards. Kanté (Chelsea FC), Armstong (Blackburn), Grifo (SC Freiburg) and Morales (Levante) can no longer reach the upgrade.

Daniel Wass (FC Valencia) secured the upgrade in the last remaining match, which will find its way into the game on 14.04. with TOTW 29. Richarlison (Everton FC), on the other hand, is running out of steam, while Kevin Malcuit (AC Florence) is the only defender in the What If promo who will not be able to reach the upgrade.

What If striker / midfield

Here the corresponding team must score 6 goals within five games.

FUT 21 What if upgrades – The requirements

Eleven players can be found in the first team, more will follow via SBC and through tasks. In addition, FUT 21 What If Team 2 will be released on March 5, so there will be a total of around 30 dynamic cards in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

The FUT What If players are dynamic special objects that can get a one-time +2 upgrade if their team meets certain criteria in real soccer.

• Strikers and midfielders: upgrade if their respective club scores a total of at least 6 goals in the next 5 games in the domestic league.
• Defenders and goalkeepers: Upgrade if their club goes without conceding at least 1 goal in the next 5 matches in the domestic league.

All games count from when the cards were first released in FIFA Ultimate Team. The upgrades will then always apply on the following Wednesday with the release of the new TOTW.

However, there are no performance-related upgrades: if a What If player secures the +2, no further adjustments are possible.

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.
