FIFA 22 EFL Championship Squad Foundations: FUT SBCs and objectives

FIFA 22 Championship Squad Foundations

Squad Foundations are back in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, designed to fill the dead space between promotions. Here’s everything you need to know about the EFL Championship Squad Foundations and how they work.

There’s no doubt that promotions are one of the key features that keep millions of fans engaged with FIFA 22. Knowing that Numbers Up or Rulebreaker cards are in packs gives players something to work towards.

But sometimes, there has to be a little break in between promotions. Partly to not oversaturate the game with overpowered cards, and also to give the market some time to bounce back after thousands of packs are opened.

In previous years, these lulls have been a cue for some players to take a break and wait for the next batch of content. This year, EA is using Squad Foundations to fill the time, and the EFL Championship is the next league to be given that treatment.

What are FIFA 22 Squad Foundations?

Squad Foundations are SBCs and Milestone objectives that reward fans with special upgraded versions of players from leagues outside of the usual big five.

So far, EA has given players from the Dutch Eredivisie and the Portuguese Liga NOS massive upgrades.

They give FUT fans something to grind and work towards in the downtime between big promotions. The objectives and SBCs are live for multiple months to give players time to complete as many as they want.

The cards earned are a great way to shake up your squad and work in players and leagues that wouldn’t have fit the meta before.
