Their performances so far this season have got the world talking, now they’re set to write a whole new year of football headlines in 2022. Celebrate the game’s most in-form players with Headliners in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team!

Headliners are special dynamic items that are permanently upgraded and have the potential for further upgrades based upon individual and team performances in the remainder of the 2021/22 season.

At the launch of Headliners, each Headliners player item is released with an initial permanent upgrade, higher than any qualifying performance-based item (Team of the Week or Man of the Match), or their base item if they haven’t received a qualifying upgrade.

Each time a Headliner receives a performance-based item, their Headliners item will also receive an upgrade.

In addition, FUT 22 Headliners will also receive an additional one-time permanent upgrade if their club achieves four back to back wins during the remainder of the domestic league season.
