FUT Champions Upgrades have landed in FIFA 22, giving players to trade in some of their unwanted red picks for bigger and better cards. If you’re wondering if it’s worth taking the plunge, we’ve got the best player you can earn from each SBC right here.
FUT Champions is the FIFA 22 Ultimate Team mode where the best rewards are on offer. From high-value packs to Player Picks from the latest Team of the Week, Champs is the main mode for serious players.
But despite each TOTW being loaded with superstars, your FUT Champs picks don’t always go according to plan. If you’ve played most weekends, there’s a good chance your club is overflowing with useless red cards that will never challenge your first team.
Luckily, FUT Champions Upgrades are here to give you the chance to swap your disappointing picks for something more useable. Here’s how to complete both SBCs, and the best players you can get from each one.

How to complete FIFA 22 FUT Champions Upgrades
EA have dropped two different kinds of SBCs to complete – FUT Champions Upgrade and FUT Champions Premium Upgrade. Both simply require you to submit a certain number of FC players to get a single, higher-rated card in return.
We’ve listed the requirements and rewards for both below:
FUT Champions Upgrade
- FUT Champs players: Exactly 5
- Players in the squad: Exactly 5
- Reward: FUT Champions player rated 83-86
FUT Champions Premium Upgrade
- FUT Champs players: Exactly 11
- Squad Rating: Min. 81
- Team Chemistry: Min. 20
- Players in the squad: Exactly 11
- Reward: 1 of 3 FUT Champions players rated 86+
Both of these SBCs are now live until the end of the year and can be done multiple times. So, be sure to rinse and repeat throughout the season to improve your squad.

While this is the lesser of the two SBCs, giving out players between 83 and 86-rated, that’s not to say it isn’t worth doing. In fact, there are still plenty of overpowered cards that could pop out and change your team.
