FIFA 22: How the Rulebreakers promo works

On October 29, a new Football Ultimate Team (FUT) promotion was released in FIFA 22. This new promotion, titled Rulebreakers, will have you looking at some of the sport's biggest stars in a different light. What do we mean by this? We explain how this promo works.

The Rulebreakers promotion is designed to showcase the talents of elite footballers in a different way. How exactly? For HER, the Rulebreakers event is intended to allow players to leave “their usual playing style” off the pitch and re-enter with completely new ones.

To do this, EA has released new permanently updated Rulebreakers cards for select players. These cards will have very different attributes and abilities from their starting base items. Here is an example of what we mean.

Here's how the Rulebreakers promo works, in a nutshell. Some key attributes may receive a downgrade and, in response, other parts of a player's profile will receive a major update. And these power-ups will come in a place you wouldn't expect.

The first set of Rulebreakers cards will launch on October 29th. The second set will be released on November 5th. During the promotion, expect to see Rulebreaker Squad Building Challenges and Objectives themed challenges.
