EA has been releasing a new FUT Birthday SBC card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team daily, with another one set to enter the game soon.
Leakers have said that Villarreal's French centre-midfielder Francis Coquelin will get an upgraded FUT Birthday card, so check out his predicted stats below and find out how to unlock him for your club.
Leaks Keep Coming
FUT Sheriff has weighed in on another FUT Birthday card, supporting the claim that Francis Coquelin will be coming as an SBC during the FUT Birthday promo.
The original post, from GeorgeyFUT, revealed Coquelin with predicted stats, which would see him as a member of the Gullit Gang.
Being a member of that club isn't as esteemed as it used to be, especially at this stage of a FUT season, which has led to the community already declaring it a 'dead' SBC.
Usually, a French powerhouse midfielder would be a welcome addition to the game, so we're hoping his stats are given a bit of a boost when he is officially released.
Francis Coquelin (OVR ??)
Start Date: TBC
Expiry Date: TBC
SBC Requirements
In the Tweet from GeorgeyFUT, they state the card is probably coming on the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled for it to drop on either Saturday, 12 or Sunday, 13 March.
Most of the FUT Birthday SBCs expire three days from release, so we expect to see the same for this one.
Two squads will likely be required to unlock the card, although they could be higher-rated than we've been seeing given his French nationality.
Estimated cost - TBC
FUT Birthday Swaps Rewards
A mixture of pack rewards and special FUT Birthday players will be on offer as Swaps Rewards.
The following rewards are available to unlock:
- 2 Tokens - Rare Players Pack
- 3 Tokens - 83 - 90 x6 Player Pack
- 8 Tokens - 88 OVR FUT Birthday Cristian Ansaldi
- 10 Tokens - FUT Birthday Team 1 Pack (x1 Player)
- 10 Tokens - 89 OVR FUT Birthday Jean-Paul Boetius
- 14 Tokens - 86+ x7 Player Pack
- 17 Tokens - 90 OVR FUT Birthday Ezequiel Avila
- 22 Tokens - FUT Birthday Team 1 Player Pick (x3 options)
The 85+ x10 Player Pack which was available during the Winter Wildcard and Future Stars promo has been replaced by the 86+ x7 Player Pack.
We expect this to be the most popular reward as it guarantees brilliant SBC fodder at the very least, with the potential to pack a top-tier card or two.
However, the FUT Birthday Player Pick could be the one to go for if you like the look of the Team 1 squad.
What is FUT Birthday?
FUT Birthday is a returning promo, which celebrates the anniversary of FIFA Ultimate Team.
Each year the event sees fan favourite players given enormous boosts, with cards released into packs, new SBCs, and objectives.
The cards released usually have boosts to skill moves and weak foot as well as the regular attributes, so it offers plenty of new and exciting options.
The event will run for two weeks, so expect to see a Team 1 and Team 2 release on each Friday of the promo.
