Another EA gift bites the dust as the enticing Future Stars event paves the way for the FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion.

As the final event to top off a three-part promo where the world best teams and players are honoured, the FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion is on its way. So, as European football has smashed into the limelight, here's everything you need to know about the FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion.

The FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion is an upcoming Ultimate Team event where the knockout stages of the European cups are honoured within the EA title. With Real Madrid and PSG kicking things off in the Champions League last 16, EA is now rolling out the final part of their ongoing promotion.

Adding to the Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) and the Team of the Group Stages (TOTGS) events that released a range of boosted cards, the FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion will release players who have the chance to have their stats increased if their real-life counterparts progress.

Meaning, if a player's team advance through to the next round of their respective European competitions, their FIFA 22 Road to the Final card overall will be boosted by one, each time.

FIFA 22 Road to the Final Players

The FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion has yet to have the line-up leaked, although there will likely be a few additions from all of the teams left in the upcoming event. As only one player was added from Chelsea - the eventual Champions League winners - with Mason Mount, the likelihood is that all the remaining teams will have one more player to represent them in the FIFA 22 Road to the Final promotion.

A lineup of 16 Champions League players will likely land when the promo starts, with at least two players being 90+ OVR. Predictions wise, players who have yet to have promo cards would be our best bet with Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), Jadon Sancho (Man Utd) or even Lionel Messi (PSG), all potentially in the running based off that criteria.
