FIFA 22 FUT Champions Upgrades: Best players and how to get
EA SPORTSFUT Champions Upgrades have landed in FIFA 22, giving players to trade in some of their unwanted red picks for bigger and better cards. If you’re wondering if it’s worth taking the plunge, we’ve got the best player you can earn from each SBC right here.
FUT Champions is the FIFA 22 Ultimate Team mode where the best rewards are on offer. From high-value packs to Player Picks from the latest Team of the Week, Champs is the main mode for serious players.
But despite each TOTW being loaded with superstars, your FUT Champs picks don’t always go according to plan. If you’ve played most weekends, there’s a good chance your club is overflowing with useless red cards that will never challenge your first team.
Luckily, FUT Champions Upgrades are here to give you the chance to swap your disappointing picks for something more useable. Here’s how to complete both SBCs, and the best players you can get from each one.
