Pre-Season promo teasers
With each passing teaser, players have become more and more curious about this promo.
Four have been released in total, so let’s break them down one-by-one.
- The first meaningful teaser showed us both Europa League and Champions League cards. This suggests the promo will follow the end of both tournaments.
- Secondly, there was then a purple FIFA 20 Ultimate Team SBC logo – hinting at more Squad Building Challenges coming soon.
- Then after that, EA revealed TOTSSF and TOTY cards could be intertwined with Pre-Season.
- The last one might not look super different to the third, but did include a transfer icon in the bottom right, along with two co-ordinates.
It has since been discovered that these co-ordinates match up perfectly with the locations of both Chelsea’s and Bayern Munich’s stadiums. This may be an indication about which transfer cards are coming first.
Leroy Sane has signed for the German champions. The Blues have also been active, having secured the services of former RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner. Whether these are included or not remains to be seen.
With hype ramping up for this bridging promo between FIFA 20 and FIFA 21, the ball is very much in EA‘s court now. Everybody can’t wait to see what has been packed into this content drop.
