Picked up a FIFA 21 Headliners card and wondering how many more upgrades your player can get, and when they’re going to get a boost? We’ve got you covered right here, with a tracker of all the rank-ups.

Headliners returned to FIFA in January 2021, and it’s been a hit with players. The promotion works similarly to Ones to Watch, bolstering a player’s stats every time they get a TOTW upgrade.

However, Headliners cards can grow into something bigger than that. With a bunch of conditions for upgrades, they can transform a decent FUT card into a meta star.

If you have your hands on a Headliners card, we’ve got all the information you need right here on how many upgrades you can get.

How do FIFA 21 Headliners upgrades work?

The FIFA 21 Headliners upgrades work on multiple fronts. There are three conditions to upgrade a Headliners card.

  • Player receives a new TOTW card
  • Player receives a new POTM card
  • Player’s team wins four games in a row (one-time upgrade)

Headliners cards can be upgraded four times, and will be at least +1 on the player’s highest-rated TOTW card.

If your player shines on the pitch, like Karim Benzema has done so far for Real Madrid this year, you could be sitting on an absolute goldmine!
