FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT upgrades explained

The FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT promo follows a slightly different upgrade format from the FIFA 22 promo of the same name, so letโ€™s take a look at what to expect.

For starters, itโ€™s important to note that upgrades will be based on the real-life performances of the playersโ€™ clubs within the first six league games starting March 17.

The Fantasy FUT promo features several upgrade requirements.

Here are the Fantasy FUT upgrades requirements in FIFA 23:

  • 3 appearances in the next 6 games: +1
  • 1 win in the next 6 games: +1
  • Attackers + Midfielders: 2 goals or 2 assists in the next 6 games: +1
  • Defenders + Goalkeepers: 2 clean sheets in the next 6 games: +1
  • Avoid defeat in the next 6 games: +1 & 3 new traits

In total there are four upgrades up for grabs for standard Fantasy FUT player items. The third upgrade requirement has different criteria whether the player is a forward or a defender.

Of course, the Fantasy FUT promo also includes FUT Heroes. Their upgrade requirements work differently than the standard Fantasy FUT items since theyโ€™re no longer active players.

Here are the Fantasy FUT upgrades requirements for FUT Heroes in FIFA 23:

  • 1 win in the next 6 games: +1
  • Club avoids defeat in the next 6 games: +1 & 3 new traits

โ€œYou can find the associated club for each Fantasy FUT Hero in the Additional Information Tab in-gameโ€
