FIFA 22 FUTTIES: Release date, promo explained, & player leaks
According to FIFA 22 leaks, the FUTTIES promo will be making its way to Ultimate Team shortly along with some of this year’s best cards.
A FIFA 22 leaker has revealed that the FUTTIES promo is returning to Ultimate Team this summer as a victory lap celebrating the game mode’s best cards of the year.
FUTTIES isn’t necessarily the final FIFA 22 Ultimate Team promo, but it will symbolically wrap up the title by celebrating some of the best special cards we’ve seen since launch. Players can expect to get their hands on boosted versions of this year’s best special items as they make their way to packs, SBCs, and Objectives.
FUTTIES provides FIFA 22 players with a rare second chance. You can expect to revisit some of the best promo cards of the year that you may have missed out on the first time around.
Here’s everything you need to know about Ultimate Team’s FUTTIES including an explanation of the promo and the expected release date.
FIFA 22 FUTTIES release date
FUTTIES is expected to hit Ultimate Team on Friday, July 15 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST. According to renowned FIFA leaker FutSheriff, FUTTIES will follow Shapeshifters as the next promo that Ultimate Team players could enjoy.
Previously, Sheriff reported that FUTTIES would arrive on July 8, but the leaker has now claimed that Shapeshifters Team 4 is expected on this date instead. This has pushed FUTTIES’ expected start date by one week.
We’ll let you know when EA officially confirms the promo’s arrival.
FUTTIES FIFA 22 promo explained
The FUTTIES promo is meant to wrap up the Ultimate Team promo calendar by celebrating the best special items of the year. FIFA 22 brought us some truly amazing cards, so here’s a look at how the promo should work.
For starters, Ultimate Team players will have a chance to vote between two previous special cards on any given day. The player who wins the fan vote will not only receive an upgrade but the card will be made available via SBC.
In addition to incredible SBC and Objectives content, some of the best special items from FUT 22 will be re-released. In FIFA 21 there were three batches of re-released FUTTIES teams that appeared in Ultimate Team packs.
FIFA 22 FUTTIES player leaks
FutSherrif has reliably provided details of leaked promo players throughout the entirety of FIFA 22. The leaker’s coverage of FUTTIES should be no different as players are expected to be revealed prior to the July 15 release.
We’ll keep you posted as more information concerning the FIFA 22 FUTTIES promo comes to light. Given that the promo highlights previous special cards that were already in the game, leaks may be difficult to come by, but we’ll update this section accordingly.

Where to find & open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines in Fortnite: Location & guide
Here’s how to find and open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines to complete Fortnite’s Indiana Jones Questline.
The brand-new Shuffled Shrines POI has appeared with the 21.20 update and features an Indiana Jones-style secret room to investigate. You’ll need to find it and get inside to complete the Indy Quests, so here’s how.
Fortnite players have been desperate to finally unlock the Indiana Jones Battle Pass skin, and it finally went live with the 21.20 update. Alongside Indy, there’s the brand-new Shuffled Shrines POI just west of the Joneses.
Shuffled Shrines has a secret door that players need to open to unlock the Indiana Jones Quests, and in true Indy fashion, there’s a puzzle to solve and deadly traps to avoid. Here’s how to solve the puzzle and open the secret door to complete the Fortnite Indiana Jones Quests.

How to open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines in Fortnite
Fortnite players looking to open the secret door at Shuffled Shrines will need to solve the stone puzzle.
There will be four stones around Shuffled Shrines, each with a different color-coded symbol. Starting on the south side of Shuffled Shrines, head clockwise around the area, marking down the symbol displayed on each shrine. While the stones will always be in the same place, the symbols will change each match.
You can check out their locations on the map below, and you’ll be able to hear them as you approach.
Once you’ve got all four symbols, head to the secret door in the middle of the POI. You’ll find four stones with the symbols, and use your interact button to have the stones display the symbols in the order that you visited them.
Once all four are correct, the stones will start glowing and the door will open. As this is an Indiana Jones Quest and POI, you’ll need to be careful of the traps that line the corridor as you approach the artifact.

Once you reach the main chamber where the artifact sits on a plinth (picking this up will give 250 Gold), look to your right and you’ll notice a doorway masked by a large bush.

Head through the door and go right to the end of the corridor and you’ll find two Mythic chests and you’ll complete the “Find the secret door past the main chamber in Shuffled Shrines” Indiana Jones Quest and unlock the Indy’s Dustoff Emote. But be careful, you can be squished by a boulder on your way out.

FIFA 23 LaLiga ratings: Every team’s best players predictions
Spain’s LaLiga is set to host some of the top talent in FIFA 23, so we’ve predicted who will have the highest rating for each club.
LaLiga will deliver some of the best players in FIFA 23, with Champions League winners Real Madrid and bitter rival Barcelona set to take over Ultimate Team. Here are our predictions for the top LaLiga ratings in FIFA 23, as well as every team’s best players.
Prior to the release of FIFA 23, EA will provide their updated player ratings for the Ultimate Team game mode. Performances throughout the 2021/2022 season are the criteria with which EA provides upgrades and downgrades to some of the best Ultimate Team players.
After losing their two biggest stars in Ronaldo and Messi over the past few years, LaLiga seems stronger than ever with Real Madrid recently crowned champions of Europe and Spain.
But who will be the best players in the LaLiga? We’ve put together our predictions for the top 10 highest-rated LaLiga players in FIFA 23, and highlighted the best players from each club.
- FIFA 23 LaLiga top 10 player rating predictions
- FIFA 23 LaLiga rating predictions: Every team’s best players
FIFA 23 LaLiga top 10 player rating predictions
| Player | Club | Upgrade / Downgrade | Rating |
| Karim Benzema | Real Madrid | +2 | 91 |
| Thibaut Courtois | Real Madrid | +2 | 91 |
| Jan Oblak | Atletico Madrid | – | 91 |
| Marc-Andre ter Stegen | Barcelona | -1 | 89 |
| Casemiro | Real Madrid | – | 89 |
| Luka Modric | Real Madrid | +1 | 88 |
| Toni Kroos | Real Madrid | -1 | 87 |
| Luis Suarez | Atletico Madrid | -1 | 87 |
| Frenkie de Jong | Barcelona | – | 87 |
| Jordi Alba | Barcelona | – | 86 |
Karim Benzema is the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or after his miraculous displays led Real Madrid to widespread success in 2022. Madrid teammates Courtois, Modric, and Vinicius Junior should all be in line for upgrades as well.
Barcelona are still on a journey to reach former heights, and their manager Xavi seems to be imprinting his style of play on the current squad. Jordi Alba was perhaps their best player last season and despite his age, he should maintain his rating from FIFA 22.
The biggest question mark for Barcelona is midfielder Frenkie de Jong who is also one of their highest-rated Ultimate Team players in FIFA.
Manchester United are pushing for his signature, but Barcelona’s midfield should continue to thrive with Pedri, Gavi, and new signing Franck Kessie trending upwards.
FIFA 23 LaLiga rating predictions: Every team’s best players
The top ten players were unsurprisingly comprised of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid stars. However, the middle of the pack in LaLiga is a strong bunch with Villarreal, Sevilla, Real Betis, and Valencia all expected to provide high-rated players in FIFA 23
With this in mind, we’ve made our predictions for every LaLiga club’s top three players in FIFA 23:
