Fantasy FUT Release Date
There isn’t any official confirmation yet, but Fantasy FUT is leaked to take over from the Showdown Series on Friday, 3 March at the usual time of 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.
It is also said to be lasting for two weeks, so we will see Team 1 released initially, before Team 2 follows on Friday, 10 March, staying in packs for another seven days, then FUT Birthday should take over on Friday, 17 March!
Fantasy FUT
Fantasy FUT was first seen in Ultimate Team last year, replacing the What If? event.
It brings more live cards to the game, which can get upgraded depending on real-life performances from that player and their team.
Last year, Fantasy FUT players received an initial upgrade at the campaign launch and then had the possibility for a further three upgrades.
The selected cards gained a +1 upgrade when:
- The player made three appearances in their next five domestic league games
- The player made an appearance in a win during one of their next five domestic league games
- Attackers/midfielders scored a goal or registered an assist in the next five domestic league games
- Defenders/goalkeepers kept a clean sheet in the next five domestic league games
We expect a similar system – if not the exact same – will be employed in FUT 23, although instead of a +1 OVR upgrade EA could use their new in-form upgrade system, so any lower-rated cards can gain a higher boost.
Predictions
There aren’t really any restrictions as to who could feature in the Fantasy FUT promo, but it makes sense for EA to select players who are likely to be able to gain the upgrades.
With that in mind, here are some names we would love to see pick up a card:
- Marquinhos (OVR 91)
- Victor Osimhen (OVR 90)
- Tammy Abraham (OVR 89)
- Marcus Rashford (OVR 89)
- Raphinha (OVR 89)
- William Saliba (OVR 89)
- Leroy Sane (OVR 89)
- Manuel Akanji (OVR 88)
- Denzel Dumfries (OVR 88)
- Adama Traore (OVR 88)
- Emre Can (OVR 87)
Fantasy FUT Heroes
A massive piece of information leaked regarding the Fantasy FUT promo is that FUT Heroes are set to be included!
Regular supplier of insider information Fut Sheriff announced the news, which could make the promo one of the best ever.
The FUT Heroes included are also said to gain live cards, with their items linked to a club they are heavily associated with.
Fantasy FUT Heroes will reportedly be upgraded as follows:
- +1 OVR if the club gets one win in their next six league games
- +1 OVR and +3 new Traits if the club avoids defeat in their next six league games
