The FUT Headliners promo returns for FIFA 22, with the Headliners Team 1 featuring

The Headliners promo was first introduced in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team and has now featured in the last four game titles, including FIFA 19, FIFA 20, FIFA 21 and now FIFA 22.

The Headliners promo features some of this season’s most in-form players so far, with these players awarded special dynamic player items that feature permanent upgrades on release, with the potential to be further upgraded based on individual and team performances throughout the real-life 2021/22 season.

Headliners player items have a rating of plus one higher than their most recent FUT performance-based In-Form (TOTW or Team of the Group Stage item) item and can receive further upgrades if players feature in a future TOTW side, with the Headliners player item always being one rating higher than the most recent FUT performance-based In-Form (TOTW or Team of the Group Stage item) item.

Headliners player items will also receive a further upgrade should their team register four back-to-back league wins in the current campaign, which will put them plus two higher than their most recent FUT performance-based In-Form (TOTW or Team of the Group Stage item) item.

Headliners are special dynamic items that are permanently upgraded and have the potential for further upgrades based upon individual and team performances in the remainder of the 2021/22 season.

At the launch of Headliners, each Headliners player item is released with an initial permanent upgrade, higher than any qualifying performance-based item (Team of the Week or Man of the Match), or their base item if they haven’t received a qualifying upgrade.

Each time a Headliner receives a performance-based item, their Headliners item will also receive an upgrade.

In addition, FUT 22 Headliners will also receive an additional one-time permanent upgrade if their club achieves four back to back wins during the remainder of the domestic league season.

Powered by Football, EA SPORTS FIFA 22 brings the game even closer to the real thing with a new season of innovation across every mode and groundbreaking next-gen HyperMotion gameplay technology on PlayStation5 that elevates every moment of the match.
