In FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, there is currently a bizarre error that makes online play impossible. Here’s why you should currently avoid using Joe Cole’s Heroes card.
Update, November 17, 20:00: EA has since announced that the error has been fixed.
FIFA 22 Ultimate Team has thousands of cards available, but one card is currently causing so many problems that online games are impossible. It’s about the Heroes card of the English legend Joe Cole.
What is the problem? As EA Sports announced on Twitter, there is currently a problem with Joe Cole’s FUT Heroes card. If this card is in a player’s squad, no online game can be started, and matchmaking is disabled.
Neither Division Rivals, FUT Draft, nor FUT Champions are possible with the Joe Cole card. However, if you remove the card from your FUT squad, you can immediately and without problems find and play a match.
What’s next? In the thread on Twitter, EA announced that they are already working on a solution and will update again as soon as there is something new.
We will keep you updated and revise this post as soon as EA comments on the error again.

This is what fans say: On reddit, the problem is being discussed, and especially players for whom Joe Cole is an important part of their team are upset.
- howelliv: I have an untradeable Joe Cole, who is important for the team chemistry. Without him, I have to swap out some players from my team.
- ParryMeAgain: He is a key part of my team, damn it.
- StiflerPie: I created a draft squad with Cole and unfortunately, I can’t start any matches anymore.
