FIFA 22 FUT Captains: Release Date, Leaks, More
The FIFA 22 FUT Captains is the latest event where some incredible cards are walking and dancing their way from the reveal screen to your starting Ultimate Team. In this promo, the FUT Captains will honour those who wore the badge for club and country from the Heroes collection, giving the failed FIFA 22 card type a well-earned boost, whilst also celebrating players who still lead their teams out at the weekend. So, here's everything you need to know about the FIFA 22 FUT Captains promotion, including players, Heroes, and release date.
- This could be one of the last promotions before the FIFA 23 release date.

FIFA 22 FUT Captains Heroes
One of the most exciting parts of the FIFA 22 FUT Captains promotion is giving some well-needed love to the Heroes. Unfortunately, most of the FUT Heroes have been extremely underwhelming in FIFA 22, with the exception of David Ginola and Cordoba, although both have recently been eclipsed by players released in the FUT Birthday and Fantasy FUT promos.
Here, EA will now be upgrading those Heroes who captained clubs, or their country, in the FUT Captains event, giving the likes of Ginola, Di Natale, and Abedi Pele a new lease of life.
The Heroes players that will receive boosts in the FIFA 22 FUT Captains event are:
Team 1
- Di Natale (93)
- Milito (93)
- Ljungberg (92)
- Dempsey (91)
Mini Release 1
- Gomez (93)
Team 2 Leaks
- Cordoba
- Cole
- Cahill
- Keane
- Abedi Pele
The stats and ratings of Team 2 have yet to be leaked, although they are set to be around a +3 overall boost.
