FIFA 23 – How do Fantasy FUT card upgrades work?

The Fantasy FUT campaign is well and truly BACK in FIFA 23, with the incredible Team 2 cards now in packs.

The Fantasy FUT campaign, which was originally introduced just last year, has injected another batch of dynamic items into the Ultimate Team database.

This means the Fantasy FUT items can be upgraded after their release, depending on the real-life performances of the selected player and their team.

Find out exactly how the Fantasy FUT card upgrades will work in FUT 23 below.

Fantasy FUT upgrades explained

We now know that the upgrade system is very similar to that of the FUT 22 promo, but with a few slight adjustments.

Fantasy FUT players will receive an initial upgrade at the campaign launch and then will be eligible for a further +4 OVR upgrade, as well as the chance to add three new traits to their special card.

The image below shows you exactly how the FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT upgrades will work.

The FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT cards will get a +1 OVR upgrade when:

• The player makes three appearances in the next six matches.
• The player’s team wins one match in their next six games.
• Attackers/midfielders score two goals or register two assists in the next six matches. Defenders/goalkeepers keep two clean sheets in the next six matches.
• The player’s team avoids defeat in the next six matches.
