Weekly promotions offer some of the best items in FC24 to give both regular and pro players the chance to take their Ultimate Team to the next level, and at the dawn of the FC Pro Open, our latest offering will see items released and upgraded in a completely brand new way.
Coming up after November’s Triple Threat promotion, the power is now being handed to the players, and their performances will dictate how many upgrades each item gets. This is FC Pro Live.
Players at the FC Pro Open will be assigned an item across the entire competitive season, and the better they perform, the better that item will get. Boosts to statistics is one of the first ways in which players will improve, allowing items to maintain their value as the power curve gets stronger with the release of new promotions each week. That’s a significant factor to consider for esports fans, who could be confident of certain stars running deep in tournaments across the competitive season – and therefore increasing the chances of their FC Pro Live item receiving further upgrades.
With so many players available for your Ultimate Team, the decision when narrowing down options can often come down to their skill moves and weak foot level. To help you rise up the Rivals ladder, or participate in Champions, FC Pro Live offers upgrades to players in categories in which they are below five stars, allowing items to be optimised for your team and respective playstyles.
Speaking of playstyles, we’ve also ensured to include them in the FC Pro Live promotion, helping to provide items with greater versatility across the esports competitive season. Playstyles have helped transform FC24 and they are another key determining factor in putting your squad together.
Anticipate is proving to be a popular option among both pros and regular players, with the likes of Laurent Blanc and Thiago Silva used often online after their recent release as squad building challenges, while other users favour options with playstyles offering other advantages. Of course, they might also have just conceded a finesse shot against the Playstyle+ of Son Heung-Min or a long-range trivela.
But regardless of the preferred playstyle that you look for in an item, we realise the importance of them going forward, and that’s why FC Pro Live will see Ultimate Team items unlock new playstyles relative to their position, helping items improve even further to increase their chances of making an impact for your team.
(Q) When does FC Pro Live begin, and how do you acquire items?
The promotion begins on Friday November 17, and FC Pro Live items will be available from the usual drop time of 13.00 EST / 18.00 GMT.
It runs for five days until Wednesday November 22, so be sure to secure your items before the deadline.
You can begin collecting the items that you think will be a good fit for your team, as well as the ones assigned to the pro players that you are most confident in ahead of the upcoming FC Pro Open – which is their first major event of the season.
Items can be acquired through packs, objectives and squad building challenges.
The first event is set to take place on November 27 as the FC Pro Open gets underway. That is when the FC Pro Live upgrade journey begins, with the fate of the FC Pro Live items now in the hands of the pros.
(Q) Who to look out for?
20 Players are set to take part in the FC Pro Open beginning on November 27. Whether you believe in Bonanno, trust in Tekkz, or are sure of a Vejrgang victory, getting the most value out of the FC Pro Live promotion is all about predicting which pro player is going to perform best. Here you can use your esports knowledge to give yourself an edge.
Below are the FC Pro Open groups featuring all 20 players that are set to take part at the FC Pro Open
The competition structure of the FC Pro Open means that one group will play each week, with eight game weeks scheduled either side of the holiday season.
Below is the FC Pro Open Group Stage schedule which shows the weeks in which each group is set to feature
Group A - Week one (November 27) and Week five (January 8)
Group B - Week two (December 4) and Week six (January 15)
Group C - Week three (December 11) and Week seven (January 22)
Group D - Week four (December 18) and Week eight (January 29)
The group stage at the FC Pro Open is the first opportunity for FC Pro Live items to begin improving, but with only eight competitors making it through to the FC Pro Open Finals on February 3, some items will end their upgrade journey here.
You can back the player that you think might win the competition, or show loyalty by opting for an item represented by your favourite esports team or pro.
