The FUT Fantasy Promo has been a staple in the FIFA series for the past three years, appearing in FIFA 22, FIFA 23, and FC 24. This live promo is one of EA’s most exciting events, providing dynamic upgrades to select players based on real-world performances. With FC 25 on the horizon, there is plenty to anticipate regarding potential upgrades, player selections, and new mechanics.
A Look Back at Past FUT Fantasy Promos
FIFA 22: The Beginning of FUT Fantasy
FIFA 22 introduced FUT Fantasy with live, dynamic cards that received upgrades based on real-life performances. Players had the opportunity to gain up to +3 overall based on specific criteria:
- Three appearances in the next five games earned a +1 upgrade.
- One team win in five games resulted in a +1 upgrade.
- One goal or assist for attackers/midfielders, or a clean sheet for defenders/goalkeepers within five games also earned a +1 upgrade.
The campaign featured standout players like Marcus Rashford, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Nani. Some cards received significant stat boosts, making them highly desirable in Ultimate Team.
FIFA 23: Bigger Upgrades & New Features
FIFA 23 improved the FUT Fantasy format by introducing Heroes for the first time. Player upgrades also saw changes:
- Players needed to win one game in six to receive a +1 upgrade.
- Three appearances in six games resulted in another +1 boost.
- Attackers/midfielders had to score two goals or assists, while defenders/goalkeepers needed two clean sheets for a further upgrade.
- A final +1 upgrade was granted if the player’s team avoided defeat in six matches, alongside three new traits.
This version introduced top-tier cards like Alexis Sanchez, Marcus Llorente, and William Saliba. The introduction of traits added further depth to player upgrades, making the promo more dynamic.
FC 24: PlayStyles & Major Enhancements
FC 24 took FUT Fantasy to another level by incorporating PlayStyles+ and more substantial upgrades. Notable changes included:
- Enhanced PlayStyles that provided unique in-game advantages.
- More impactful upgrades, leading to top-tier players like Ousmane Dembélé (94-rated), Ferland Mendy, and Declan Rice.
- The return of Fantasy FUT Heroes, featuring legends like Wesley Sneijder, Vincent Kompany, and Lucio.
This evolution made FUT Fantasy more immersive, allowing users to acquire highly competitive cards that fit well into various team builds.
What to Expect in FC 25’s FUT Fantasy Promo
Live Upgrades & Performance-Based Enhancements
Given past trends, FC 25’s FUT Fantasy promo is expected to continue with dynamic, performance-based upgrades. Players will likely earn boosts through appearances, wins, goals, assists, and clean sheets.
Inclusion of Heroes & Possibly Icons?
While Heroes were introduced in FIFA 23 and continued in FC 24, Icons have yet to be featured in FUT Fantasy. However, with EA expanding promos every year, it remains a possibility for FC 25.
New Evolution System for FUT Fantasy Cards
FC 25 may introduce Evolutions specifically for FUT Fantasy. If implemented, this could allow users to enhance their chosen players based on personal preferences, further customizing their Ultimate Team experience.
Improved Rewards in FUT Champions & Rivals
Unlike previous years, FC 25 will integrate FUT Fantasy cards into Weekend League rewards:
- Four wins: One guaranteed Fantasy FC player.
- Six or more wins: Two Fantasy FC players.
- Nine wins: Player picks from Fantasy FC or Fantasy FC Heroes.
This change will make FUT Fantasy cards more accessible through gameplay rather than solely relying on packs.
