The fan-favorite Shapeshifters promo has returned to FIFA 22. Here’s everything we know about FIFA 22 Shapeshifters, from the release date to the featured players.

Following the release of FIFA 22 Ultimate TOTS, the Team of the Season promo drew to a close for another year. After weeks of non-stop content, players would be forgiven for thinking that FIFA 22 is winding down, and focus will be shifting to FIFA 23.

However, EA still has plenty of special events planned to tie players over until the new game drops, and a new promo was closer than a lot of people thought.

FIFA 22 Shapeshifters Team 4 is last on the schedule, so here’s everything we know about this interesting promo.

What is FIFA 22 Shapeshifters?

Shapeshifters team in FIFA
Shapeshifters is one of the most unique promos FIFA has to offer.

Despite its absence in FIFA 21, Shapeshifters is a popular promo among the FUT community as it sees big-name players moving out of their preferred position.

These can range from conventional moves like a full-back switching to a winger, to more unusual changes like a center-back playing as a striker. The cards are also heavily boosted to make them great options in their new position.

In the past, we’ve seen the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold move into midfield and even N’Golo Kante drop into defense. The idea is to open up new possibilities and Chemistry links to help players build weird and wonderful squads.

As we move into the end of FIFA 22’s lifecycle, Shapeshifters is exactly the kind of quirky concept that will keep players occupied until FIFA 23 releases.

FIFA 22 Shapeshifters predictions

Since Shapeshifters isn’t based on real performances, it’s tough to pinpoint exactly who could show up in the promo. However, there are a number of players capable of playing in multiple positions in real life that would be perfect choices.

We’ve put together our predictions for FIFA 22 Shapeshifters below, along with the position we think they could move to:

  • Lionel Messi (PSG) – ST
  • Ferland Mendy (Real Madrid) – CDM
  • Nordi Mukiele (RB Leipzig) – CB
  • Angel Correa (Inter Milan) – RW
  • Juan Cuadrado (Juventus) – RW
  • Joelinton (Newcastle United) – CM
  • Renato Sanches (Lille) – LW
  • Paul Pogba (Manchester United) – CB
  • Yannick Carrasco (Atletico Madrid) – CAM
