Serie A has been highlighted in the latest set of Player Moments releases, with one leaving the league and the other joining.

They have both gained enormous cards, one via objectives and the other through an SBC, and you can find out how to unlock them both below.

The FUT 23 Pre-Season promo kicked off slightly later than planned on Friday, 19 August, due to "unforeseen issues", with new content dropping at approximately 4pm ET / 9pm BST.

The 'Best Of' Batch 1 re-released cards were in packs for two weeks from release, leaving on Friday, 2 September at 1pm ET / 6pm BST.
