How to complete FIFA 22 Lozano FUT Shapeshifters SBC
Shapeshifters Lozano is the latest FIFA 22 SBC to drop in Ultimate Team, so here’s how to complete it and the cheapest possible solutions.
The FIFA 22 Shapeshifters promo is well and truly underway, and EA have dropped a tasty-looking SBC for a striker Hirving Lozano. Here’s how to complete Shapeshifters Lozano, along with the cheapest solutions for each section.
Following up Team of the Season was never going to be an easy task, but that’s exactly what EA have done with FIFA 22 Shapeshifters. Bringing back this fan-favorite promo has given players even more ridiculous cards to hunt for in packs.
We’ve also been treated to a host of interesting SBCs to complete, from Marcus Thuram to Flashback Richarlison. The latest is Napoli’s Hirving Lozano, who’s been transformed from a winger into a deadly striker.
Here’s how to complete the Shapeshifters Lozano, along with the cheapest solutions for each SBC.
FIFA 22 Shapeshifters Lozano stats
FIFA 22 Shapeshifters Lozano’s stats have been drastically boosted to make him a devastating striker. 99 Pace means he’ll be able to get in behind opposition defenses with ease, and with 94 Finishing he’ll be a menace in front of goal.
The Mexican is known for his quick footwork and agility, and he’s certainly retained this on his Shapeshifters card with 96 Dribbling. He’s also been given five-star weak foot, so you don’t have to worry about where in the attack to deploy him.
All things considered, if you’re running a Serie A team or have enough Icons to fit him, Lozano could be the perfect player to take your team to the next level.
How to complete FIFA 22 Shapeshifters Lozano SBC
There are only two squads to submit to unlock Shapeshifters Lozano in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, clocking in at a cost of just 230,000 coins according to FUTBIN. This is fairly reasonable when you take his stats into account, so it’s definitely worth completing the SBC.
Check out both sets of requirements, as well as the cheapest possible solutions, below:
Serie A TIM requirements
- # of players from Serie A: Min 1
- Squad Rating: Min 85
- Team Chemistry: Min 70
- Reward: Prime Electrum Players Pack
Solution
86-Rated Squad requirements
- Squad Rating: Min 86
- Team Chemistry: Min 60
- Reward: Rare Electrum Players Pack
Solution
Players have until Sunday, July 6, to complete the Shapeshifters Lozano SBC, so there’s no time to waste. Luckily, if you have plenty of high-rated cards kicking around in your club, you’ll be able to make a serious dent before having to spend any coins.
Serie A TOTS breathed new life into the Italian league when it comes to viability in FIFA 22, and Lozano is the perfect strike-partner for someone like Immobile or Vlahovic.

FIFA 23 Pro Clubs: Cross-play, Leveling changes, skill games, more
FIFA 23’s Pro Clubs mode introduces several new features, like skill games, season progression changes, and new Perks.
Here’s everything you need to know about FIFA 23’s Pro Clubs mode including the latest news on cross-play inclusion, changes to leveling and progression, as well as the new skill games feature.
EA Sports are set to deliver new features across each of FIFA 23’s game modes including Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and Pro Clubs. As the final iteration of the iconic franchise to boast the FIFA branding, expectations are high for FIFA 23.
While Ultimate Team tends to receive the bulk of the attention from players, Pro Clubs is a well-liked mode with a passionate community that enjoys teaming up with friends online.
FIFA 23 is set to deliver some changes and improvements when it comes to Pro Clubs, and here’s a breakdown of what you should expect.
- FIFA 23 Pro Clubs post-launch cross-play
- Pro Clubs leveling changes & new Perks in FIFA 23
- Pro Clubs & Volta shared seasonal progression
- FIFA 23 Pro Clubs skill games
FIFA 23 Pro Clubs post-launch cross-play
Fans of Pro Clubs were shocked and appalled when they discovered that FIFA 23 would exclude the highly requested cross-play feature from impacting the mode’s gameplay. It’s the first time that a FIFA game will have cross-play and Pro Clubs players were furious with the exclusion.
The backlash from the decision to exclude Pro Clubs from cross-play functionality has led to a statement from EA.
The statement confirmed that EA “recognize what cross-play functionality could mean to the Pro Clubs mode with the potential for improving matchmaking and allowing friends from different platforms of the same generation to play together. “
It’s a positive sign to see the devs address player concerns. They reaffirmed that while FIFA 23 will not have cross-play for Pro Clubs at launch, it is something they’re working on: “As we look at our cross-play future, we’re focused on matchmaking in Pro Clubs, VOLTA, and FUT Co-op, as well as cross-platform lobby invites and ultimately cross-platform Pro Clubs.”
However, there’s no confirmation if the future they refer to is one that will affect FIFA 23 post-launch or rather the next footballing title they produce.
Pro Clubs leveling changes & new Perks in FIFA 23
EA have amended the method to level up your player in FIFA 23 Pro Clubs. After continuous player complaints of slow progression over the years, EA have finally decided to make the grind a more simple and rewarding task.
You’ll receive more XP after a match to ensure “fair distribution of XP for supporting players who contribute to success without putting the ball in the back of the net themselves.”
Here are the changes to leveling you will experience in FIFA 23 Pro Clubs:
- The amount of XP required to move from level to level has decreased considerably.
- The amount of XP required to reach the maximum level has been decreased.
- The maximum level has been increased from 25 levels to 100.
- Players can earn a maximum of 185 Skill Points.
- All Perks will be unlocked through the course of the first 25 levels. Beyond level 25, players will continue to unlock more perk slots, and earn more Skill Points.
These changes have been implemented to reduce the effort needed to max out your level.
In addition to these leveling changes, EA are also introducing four new Perks to Pro Clubs. Perks can be utilized to alter your performance on the pitch so unlocking valuable ones can lead to more success.
Here are the four new Perks and what they do:
Attacking Perks
- Poacher – Increases your all-around finishing (including boosts to Volleys, Finishing, and Heading Accuracy) when inside the box.
Chance Creation Perks
- Light Passes – Increases your teammates’ ability to trap and control your passes.
Defensive Perks
- Interceptor – Improves your ability to intercept & disrupt your opposition’s passes & shots when defending and in close proximity to the ball.
- Chase Down – Increases your pace when defending immediately following a loss of possession. The perk will deactivate after 40 in-game seconds if you have not regained possession.
Pro Clubs & Volta shared seasonal progression
For the first time, Pro Clubs will adopt a season progression system in FIFA 23. This new seasonal system will share its progress with the Volta experience. Playing either mode will level up your player and you’ll earn shared seasonal progress as a result.
Furthermore, players will be able to earn rewards in Volta, such as player cosmetics, and bring them back to equip in Pro Clubs matches. This is great news for FIFA 23 players as you’ll have more chances to progress through the six-week season.
FIFA 23 Pro Clubs skill games
The new skill games feature will give players something to do while waiting for their Pro Clubs teammates to come online. Completing these skill games will contribute to your player’s growth.
You can also compete with your teammates for bragging rights within your club as you attempt to land the highest score possible in each of the mini-games.
Ultimately, you’ll experience less wasted time than ever in FIFA 23 Pro Clubs as there will always be a method to earn XP even when your teammates are offline.

FIFA 23 Premier League ratings: Every team’s best players predictions
The Premier League is set to host some of the best players in FIFA 23, so we’ve predicted who will have the highest rating for each club.
The Premier League will be home to some of FIFA 23’s brightest stars, with players from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool set to dominate Ultimate Team. Here are our predictions for the top Premier League ratings in FIFA 23, as well as every team’s best players.
Each and every year, EA updates its roster of players with new ratings based on how they performed in the previous season, and FIFA 23 is no exception. The 2021/22 campaign saw some exceptional performances, which will no doubt be reflected in the FIFA 23 ratings.
One of the biggest leagues to feature in FIFA 23 is the Premier League. Whether you’re building your dream Ultimate Team or embarking on a Career Mode, the English top-flight is likely to play a part.
But who will be the best players in the Premier League? We’ve put together our predictions for the top 10 highest-rated Premier League players in FIFA 23, and highlighted the best players from each club.
- FIFA 23 Premier League top 10 player rating predictions
- FIFA 23 Premier League rating predictions: Every team’s best players
FIFA 23 Premier League top 10 player rating predictions
| Player | Club | Upgrade / Downgrade | Rating |
| Kevin De Bruyne | Manchester City | – | 91 |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | Manchester United | – | 91 |
| Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | +1 | 90 |
| Heung Min-Son | Spurs | +1 | 90 |
| Harry Kane | Spurs | – | 90 |
| Alison Becker | Liverpool | +1 | 90 |
| Ederson | Manchester City | +1 | 90 |
| Erling Haaland | Manchester City | +2 | 90 |
| Virgil Van Dijk | Liverpool | – | 89 |
| Trent Alexander-Arnold | Liverpool | +2 | 88 |
After they two fought tooth and nail for all three domestic trophies last season, we’re expecting Manchester City and Liverpool to dominate the ratings in FIFA 23.
After winning Premier League Player of the Season, Kevin De Bruyne will likely keep his lofty 91 rating, sharing the top spot with Cristiano Ronaldo, who also enjoyed a great individual season in a struggling United team.
We’ve listed Erling Haaland as one of the highest climbers, who should receive a large bump after his high-profile move to City. Trent Alexander-Arnold is also expected to be rewarded after his best season to date, managing 12 assists from right back.
Heung Min-Son also registered his most prolific year in the Premier League so far, finishing as the joint-top goalscorer. This should be enough to see him move up a rating and join the coveted 90 club.
FIFA 23 Premier League rating predictions: Every team’s best players
While most clubs won’t have a shot of landing a player in the top 10, it’s still interesting to see how EA upgrades and downgrades stars from across the league. Every team had both standouts and flops that should be reflected when FIFA 23 rolls around.
With this in mind, we’ve made our predictions for every Premier League club’s top three players in FIFA 23:
AFC Bournemouth

| Dominic Solanke | +3 | 75 |
