The first FIFA 21 Ultimate Team promo event saw new dynamic cards arrive.

Headliners work similar to Ones to Watch in their ratings, but with an added bonus.

Check out all the information below.

Release Date

Headliners arrived on Friday, 1 January, making them the first special cards of the new year.

The promo event ran for two weeks.

What are Headliners?

Headliners works in the same way as the Ones to Watch cards, with the special cards holding dynamic ratings.

These ratings adjust with real-life form, so any Team of the Week (TOTW), Team of the Group Stage (TOTGS), Hero and Man of the Match (MOTM) cards will affect the Headliners rating.

One difference with the Headliner cards though is that their rating stays +1 above the next form-related card.

For example, last season Timo Werner received an 89 rated MOTM card, boosting his Headliner card to 90 OVR.

However, if the player's team wins four matches in a row, they get an extra boost and remain +2 ahead!

Team 2

The second team of the Headliners promo was even better than the first.

2020 over, and so is Season 2 on FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

Headliners is the first promo event of the new year and Season 3, but what else will Season 3 bring to FUT 21?

TOTY

The wait goes on for Team of the Year (TOTY) by the looks of it.

As one of the biggest events in the FIFA calendar, TOTY brings with it some of the best cards available on Ultimate Team.

With interest in TOTY so high, you can understand why EA want to hold it back for as long as possible.

We are sure that TOTY will arrive in January, so keep up to date with the latest TOTY news here.
