FIFA 22 Loyalty Glitch

The Ultimate Team loyalty glitch is a tried and tested way to help you reach those tough chemistry requirements in Squad Building Challenges. This guide will show you how to get max chem quickly, without any losses, for SBCs.

FIFA Ultimate Team has always revolved around opening packs to try and bag the world’s best players, and FIFA 22 is no different.

Squad Building Challenges are one of the best ways to earn packs without having to fork out too many of your hard-earned coins, but some of the chemistry requirements can be extremely harsh.

In these cases, you might need loyalty on your players to give them a little chemistry boost. Luckily, there’s an easy glitch to help you earn loyalty quickly.

What is loyalty in FIFA 22?

FIFA 22 SBC

Loyalty is a bonus awarded to players in your club that you have packed yourself, giving them “First Owner” status. It offers them that all-important plus one chemistry in both your team and SBCs.

Players without loyalty will often be stuck on nine chemistry if they aren’t being helped by a manager or a lot of strong links.

There are two ways to earn loyalty in FIFA 22:

  • Play 10 matches with a player in your starting XI, or bring them off the bench to make an appearence
  • Earn the player from a pack, objective, or SBC

Loyalty tends to become a problem when multiple players have been purchased from Transfer Market for an SBC, especially in challenges that ask for a hybrid league or nation squad.

Without losses

The loyalty glitch can be performed in two different ways. The first of which requires a little more time, but doesn’t affect your overall win-loss record.

This is an exploit that has been FUT for many years, and EA have never taken steps to remove it.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do the loyalty glitch in FIFA 22:

  1. Place all the players in need of loyalty into a new squad (don’t worry about chemistry)
  2. Head into a game of Squad Battles on any difficulty
  3. Pass the ball around for a short while, until around the fifth in-game minute
  4. Close the FIFA 22 application on your console or PC
  5. You should now have an extra game played with each member of the team
  6. Repeat 10 times until loyalty has been acheived

Alternative method

If you’re a player who doesn’t mind racking up a few more losses on your record, there is another method that is far less hassle.

  1. Place all the players in need of loyalty into a new squad (don’t worry about chemistry)
  2. Head into a game of Squad Battles on any difficulty
  3. Pass the ball around for a short while, until around the fifth in-game minute
  4. Pause the game and quit the match
  5. You will now have an extra game played with each member of the team
  6. Repeat 10 times until loyalty has been acheived

The game will go down as a 3-0 defeat, however, this is far quicker than closing the entire application and can save you a lot of time over the 10 matches.


That was our simple guide on how to use the loyalty glitch to earn full chemistry in this year’s Ultimate Team.
