FIFA 22 FUT Birthday guide stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez

The FUT 22 Birthday promo is over – but it was certainly a spectacular one, and many of its cards are still available on its transfer market. The FIFA 22 campaign marked 13 years of FUT by delivering a batch of upgraded cards, with its most notable names including Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Dani Alves. Below we outline how it all worked, and take you through the complete FIFA 22 FUT Birthday cards list.

Much like last year’s campaign, all cards featured earn either a five-star weak foot or five-star skill moves, as well as an increase in their stats. While Cristiano Ronaldo’s standard gold item only has four stars in the week-foot department, his new FUT Birthday card grants him a five-star weak foot, along with an overall rating boost from 91 to 94. The Portuguese talisman already had five-star skill moves as standard, so retains that trait too.

FIFA 22 FUT Birthday Team 1 landed on the promo’s launch date of Friday, March 4 and featured 11 players dropped straight into packs. Along with Ronaldo it brought new cards for Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez (ST, 93), Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos (CM, 92), and tenacious Everton man Allan (CDM, 91). 

Suarez and Kroos both get five-star skill moves, while Allan is given a five-star week foot. All 11 items are included in the complete FIFA 22 FUT Birthday cards list at the foot of this guide.

Was there are FIFA 22 FUT Birthday SBC?

Yup. In addition to the cards dropped into packs, day one of the campaign bought a FIFA 22 FUT Birthday SBC (Squad Building Challenge) for Roma’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan (CF, 91). He already had a five-star weak foot, and also received five-star skill moves to go with it. Completing the challenge required you to submit two squads – one including a TOTW player, and the other based around Serie A. 

Roma were also represented in the first objectives-based challenge, the reward for which was English striker Tammy Abraham (ST, 88). Working your way to his card required the completion of four objectives sets, all based in the new Live FUT Friendly: FUT Birthday match type. One of these objectives, Spread The Wealth, also earned you a FUT Birthday Swap Token. 

SBCs came thick and fast throughout the ensuing days of the campaign. Among the top-rated players were Declan Rice (CDM, West Ham, 90) and Stefan de Vrij (CB, Inter Milan, 90). All SBC and objectives-based players can be seen in the complete card list at the foot of this piece.

Following on from a popular element of FIFA 22 Future Stars, the new campaign also featured the opportunity to grind your way to tokens which could be traded in for rewards from Friday, March 11. The first one, Argentinian midfielder Kevin Isa, was granted as soon as you sign into the game. 

The full FIFA 22 FUT Birthday Swap Tokens rewards list was as follows:

  • 22 Tokens – FUT Birthday Team 1 Player Pick
  • 17 Tokens – FUT Birthday Ezequiel Ávila (90 OVR)
  • 14 Tokens – 86+ x 7 Player Pack

  • 8 Tokens – FUT Birthday Cristian Ansaldi (88 OVR)
  • 5 Tokens – Ultimate Pack
  • 3 Tokens – 83-90 x 6 Player Pack

Was there a FIFA 22 FUT Birthday Team 2 leak?

Yes – and although we advised to take social media rumour at face value, the leak proved accurate.

Among those said to be coming in Team 2 were Juventus forward Paolo Dybala (CF, 93), Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino (CF, 92), and Real Betis’ French import Nabil Fekir (CAM, 90). FIFA 22 FUT Birthday Team 2 landed on Friday, March 11, and that trio did indeed make the squad. 

Also newly added for the campaign’s second week were Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer with an overall rating of 93 (and five-star skill moves!) and Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez (CB, 89). All Team 2 players have been added to the complete cards list, below.

Are there any FIFA 22 FUT Birthday free packs?

There certainly were. Signing into Ultimate Team during the campaign meant you received an untradeable Rare Players Pack to mark the mode’s 13th birthday. I scored an 84-rated Marcelo Brozovic in mine, which came in handy as SBC fodder – so it was definitely worth you logging in for
