Mourinho’s European masterclass sees THREE Roma stars surpass 90 OVR
There’s plenty going on in FIFA 22 at the moment with the Team of the Season (TOTS) promo now underway in Ultimate Team alongside the Icon Swaps 3 campaign.
The 2021/22 football season is coming to an end, with just one final match to be played – the UEFA Champions League Final.
The Europa Conerence League final was played on Wednesday night, with Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma beating Feyenoord 1-0 after 90 minutes.
Roma’s win will have a significant impact in Ultimate Team, with THREE live cards set to surpass 90 OVR rating as a result.
Mourinho masterclass
Mourinho, who had previously won the Champions League, Europa League and the UEFA Cup, completed a unique European trophy haul as Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 in Tirana to ensure he could add the inaugural Conference League to his collection.
That is five European finals he has won during his spells at Porto, Inter Milan, Manchester United and now Roma since 2003.
“The great thing about my career is that, aside from the Europa League with Manchester United, doing it with Porto, Inter and Roma is very, very, very special,” Mourinho said.
“This remains in the history of Roma, but also mine. I was told only I, Sir Alex (Ferguson) and Giovanni Trapattoni won trophies in three different decades. It makes me feel a little old, but it’s nice for my career.”
It represented a fine end to his first season in the Italian capital for Mourinho, having steered his side to a sixth-placed finish in Serie A this term.
Road to the Final reward
Two AS Roma Europa Conference League Road ot the Final (RTTF) cards will be upgraded as a result of Wednesday night’s victory.
Former England international players Chris Smalling and Ainsley Maitland-Niles will both receive +2 OVR to their live RTTF cards.
The once Manchester United defender Chris Smalling will be boosted to 92 OVR with simply ridiculous stats for a central defender.
Smalling’s RTTF card will boast 88 pace, 93 defending, 93 physicality and 80 dribbling.
Arsenal loanee Maitland-Niles will reach 91 OVR and now looks like one of the best central midfielders in Ultimate Team, with 93 ribbling, 92 pace, 90 defending, 90 physicality and 88 passing.
Showdown success
The Road to the Final cards aren’t the only FUT items that will be getting upgrades after Roma’s big Europa Conference League win.
Rick Karsdorp’s Showdown SBC card will be getting a +2 OVR and his stats will be boosted accordingly.
Once the upgrade is applied, the Dutch midfielder will have 94 pace, 93 dribbling, 93 passing, 89 shooting, 87 physicality and 86 defending.
The AS Roma right-mifieleder is now one of the most well-rounded cards in the Serie A and can compete with the Team of the Season players.
