EA SPORTS u-turns on broken FIFA 22 SBC with El Sharaawy changes
FIFA 22 has been riddled with errors and in the latest blunder, EA released a Shapeshifters Stephen El Shaarary SBC card with incorrect stats.

Most Recently, A Year in Review Player Pick SBC unintentionally included the Fantasy FUT Christen Eriksen item. One week earlier, players received compensation after the EFIGS TOTS Upgrade SBC gave out incorrect rewards.
This time around, A Stephen El Shaarawy player item was released with incorrect stats and disgruntled players voiced their displeasure on Reddit.

The upgraded Stephen El Shaarawy card will have two more agility points, 11 more jumping points, three additional strength points, and one more curve attribute point.
A Reddit user started a thread discussing EA Sports releasing the wrong Stephen El Shaarary player item. One Reddit user commented, “can’t think of a game where they have made this many mistakes.” Another user added, “this is happening pretty often now.”
Despite the backlash, El Shaarawy cards are usually fantastic in-game and this player item shapes up to be a deadly central attacking option. El Shaarawy is silky on the ball in FIFA and his dribbling is perfect for breaking down defenders in the attacking third.
The Roma winger previously received an 86 overall RTTF player item that was extremely popular.
