EA SPORTS has done away with the old “Road to the Finals” promo in favor of something fresh in FIFA 22.

This time, we’re charting the path of all the world’s most famous players as they battle their way through three European competitions for a spot in the knockout stages. This will include heavyweight teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool in the Champions League, as well as lower competition like the newly-formed Conference League.

How to get FIFA 22 RTTK card upgrades explained

There are two ways to earn RTTK card upgrades: a player’s card upgrades if the player’s club reaches the Knockout Stage of their European competition and they can get a potential second upgrade if they win 3 of their next 4 Group Stage matches.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how the system works in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.

  • +1 upgrade for reaching the knockout stage
  • +1 upgrade for winning 3 out of 4 matches in their respective competition

So if you have a player for a top team, then there’s a good chance that the card will get a +2 upgrade after the group stage.
