FIFA 22 Ultimate Team has just had Team 2 of the Future Stars promo released, which has brought another squad of boosted players, SBCs and objectives.

EA has also brought in a new form of playing the Live FUT Friendlies, called Live Opponent, which will bring a new dynamic to the game mode.
Live Opponent
Many objectives need to be completed in the Live FUT Friendlies game mode, and EA has brought in a new concept to test out.
Live Opponent will change the way matchmaking works, pairing up players competing in compatible FUT Friendlies.
As EA put it:
We're introducing a new way to play Live Fut Friendlies called Live Opponent.
Live Opponent pairs two Live FUT Friendlies together so that players entering one type of FUT Friendly match up against players in another compatible Live Fut Friendly.
The first instance of Live Opponent pairs two League-themed Live FUT Friendlies together and can help you progress towards earning two different Future Stars Player items.
The matches can consist of special squad entry requirements and house rules, just like in all the FUT Friendlies.
Test Run
The first set of compatible friendlies is already live, with players competing against each other in the Live FUT Friendly: Ligue 1 Liaisons and Live FUT Friendly: La Liga Lights.
To keep things fair, the requirements for each league tile are identical. They are:
- Exactly 18 Ligue 1 (or La Liga) players
- Maximum one loan player
- Minimum five first owned players
Nothing too groundbreaking to start off with, but we could see that change in the future.
The Players
You can bring a new Future Stars player to your club by completing objectives related to each of the new friendlies.
First up is Nice's French forward Amine Gouiri, someone we thought would be a Future Stars Academy Player.
Despite being handed an 88 OVR rating, Gouiri actually has the base stats of a 90-rated player.

Another man who was leaked to come as an Academy Player is Samuel Chukwueze, who plays for Villarreal.
The Nigerian is pacey, with top ability on the ball, with four-star skills and weak foot as the cherry on top.
