FIFA 22 Winter Wildcards promo: Teams 1 & 2 revealed, SBCs

FIFA 22’s popular FUTMAS promo has had another face-lift, with EA SPORTS unveiling Winter Wildcards as the game’s new Christmas event. Ultimate Team players don’t have to wait for reveals either ⁠— the whole team has leaked online!

Christmas is just around the corner, and with the controversial FUT Versus promo now in Ultimate Team’s rearview mirror, the FUTMAS celebrations can begin.

Of course, FUTMAS as a specific concept hasn’t been seen in FIFA since 2019, but similar events have taken its place in recent years. Last time around it was Freeze, which then pivoted into Versus. Taking Freeze’s place as the festive event now is “Winter Wildcards,” a new promo.

EA SPORTS has now revealed the full lineups. Here’s everything we know.

EA SPORTS have been dropping daily SBCs that award tokens, as well as a host of objectives, so keep an eye on both tabs to make sure you don’t miss any. There are also tokens on offer for completing regular FIFA challenges like Marquee Matchups.

Much like ICON Swaps, there is a ladder of different rewards that can be earned, either by submitting all of your tokens or breaking them up. Check out the full list of rewards on offer below:
