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.

BIG BOOSTS – Individual performances are in the spotlight during Fantasy FUT

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)

  • Adama Traore (OVR 88)
  • Emre Can (OVR 87)
