World Cup fever has arrived in FIFA Ultimate Team, and a plethora of content has been released into FUT, including World Cup FUT Heroes, World Cup Path to Glory Items, World Cup Swaps, and World Cup Player Items.
Many of the new Items are self-explanatory, but many players have been left confused by the limited time, Red World Cup Player Items. So, what are they exactly? And why are they only here for a limited time?
What are the Red World Cup Time Limited players?
The Red World Cup Time Limited players are special Player Items in FIFA Ultimate Team given to players who have been selected in the squads of the 32 National Teams that qualified for the FIFA World Cup. You can tell which Items are the limited-time Items by the blue diamond on the bottom right of the Item.
Some of the World Cup Player Items will have increased Attributes compared to their Base version, as seen in this example between Mikel Merino's regular Gold Item and his World Cup version.
What are World Cup Player Items used for?
You can use World Cup Player Items in your team to play matches, complete Objectives, and earn World Cup Swaps Tokens to unlock rewards such as packs and player picks. They also contribute towards earning End of Season rewards, which you earn by simply collecting World Cup Player Items, something which is discussed further down in the article.
How do I earn World Cup Time Player Items?
From November 11 until December 23, certain Reward Packs & Store Packs will be refreshed to include FIFA World Cup Player Items as bonus content. There will also be more World Cup Player Item packs available in Objectives, SBCs, and in the FUT Moments Star Gallery during Season 2.
Can I buy World Cup Time Player Items from the Transfer Market?
No, you cannot buy, or sell, FIFA World Cup Player Items from the Transfer Market.
How do I earn World Cup rewards with World Cup Time Player Items?
Every World Cup Player Item you collect contributes towards your End of Season rewards, with the number of Items you collect determining the value of the rewards. The more you collect, the better the rewards will be. The rewards are accumulative, so you will receive the rewards from every Level you reach.
The End of Season rewards are split into 10 Levels, and each requires a certain number of World Cup Player Items to reach them, starting in Level 1 where you need to collect 6 Items, all the way up to Level 10 where you need to collect at least 750 Items.
The rewards for each of the 10 Reward Levels and the number of Items you need to collect to unlock them are listed below:
Level 1 (6 Items Collected):
- 80-84 Rated 8 Players Pack
Level 2 (25 Items Collected):
- 2,000 Coins
- 80-84 Rated 8 Players Pack
Level 3 (50 Items Collected):
- Prime Gold Players Pack
Level 4 (100 Items Collected):
- 2,000 Coins
- 80+ Rated 5 Players Pack
Level 5 (150 Items Collected):
- 1 of 4 83+ Player Pick
Level 6 (200 Items Collected):
- 80+ 8 Players Pack
Level 7 (350 Items Collected):
- 5,000 Coins
- 1 of 4 83+ Player Pick
Level 8 (500 Items Collected):
- 81+ 11 Players Pack
Level 9 (600 Items Collected):
- 3,000 Coins
- Jumbo Rare Players Pack
Level 10 (750 Items Collected):
- 85+ 3 Players Pack
You will be able to redeem these rewards starting January 4, 2023, until February 4, 2023.
How do I know how many World Cup Time Player Items I've collected?
Every time you earn any World Cup Player Item, including duplicates, they will be tracked within the FUT Main Menu in the FIFA World Cup tile, which is also where you can view all 10 Reward Tiers.
Do I get to keep my World Cup Time Player Items?
World Cup Player Items will only be available for a limited time and they will all be removed from your Club starting January 4, 2023. It may take several days for all these Player Items to be fully removed from FUT.
When do World Cup Time Player Items expire?
Starting January 4, 2023, all World Cup Player Items will be removed from FUT and every FUT club, and they will no longer exist in-game. These are the only Items added in the World Cup update that expire – every other World Cup Item is permanent.
Can I use World Cup Time Player Items in SBCs?
No, you cannot use the World Cup Time Player Items in SBCs.
Can I use World Cup Time Player Items in my regular Team or Squad?
Yes, you can use the World Cup Time Player Items in your regular team or squad just like with every other Item.
How do World Cup Time Player Items get Chemistry?
As World Cup Time Player Items belong to the same World Cup League, they all link to each other in your Squad in the same way regular players from the same League do, such as Ligue 1 players linking to other Ligue 1 players, so you will need a minimum of 3 World Cup Player Items in a Squad to gain 1 Chemistry Point on all of them.
Their Clubs have been replaced by their National Team, so even players who play for different Clubs in different Leagues domestically will be part of the same Club, meaning you only need 2 of those players in your Squad to reach 1 Chemistry Point.
And, of course, their Nation is just their Nation, so that works in the same way as usual.
How do I earn World Cup Swaps Tokens?
From November 11 to December 23, you will be able to earn World Cup Swaps Tokens, which you can unlock by completing Objectives with your World Cup Player Items, by completing SBCs, and by opening select special Packs in the Store. There are 50 World Cup Swaps Tokens to collect, and you earn your first one for free just by logging in.
