COMING SOON - Summer Stars will be joining FUT 21 soon

We can expect the new cards next week, so get ready for plenty of loading screens teasing what is to come.

Whether this is a one off squad to celebrate the Group Stage we aren't sure, but that would leave room for another squad to be released as a Team of the Knockout Stage in July.

What is the FOF Summer Stars promo?

It looks as though the Summer Stars promo will operate as a Team of the Group Stage type squad, as it appears to be based on performance.

A passage from PlayStation's FIFA 21 page reads as follows:

The top individual performers during this month of play will be featured in Summer Stars, where eligible players will receive large permanent upgrades based on how they compete for their team.

UP NEXT - Summer Stars could be the next arrival

Large permanent upgrades also suggest an in-form style card, so we are certainly excited to see what EA produces.

How do Path to glory cards work?

Path to Glory cards have been released as part of the FOF event, with added skill move and weak foot bonuses available.

While not as straightforward as the Road to the Final cards, the Path to Glory players will follow similar trends to the What If promo.
