If you don’t have Leroy Fer in FIFA 21, you should consider getting the What-If card. An incredible game in the Eredivisie guaranteed this affordable player an upgrade.
That’s why FIFA players are currently watching the Eredivisie: Normally, only fans of the Dutch “Eredivisie” would likely be interested in the match between Feyenoord Rotterdam and VVV Venlo. But in FIFA 21, the “What-If event” is happening, bringing several cards that receive an upgrade if their team achieves certain goals in the real football world.
For offensive and midfield players, 6 goals must be scored within the next 5 league games. This creates excitement, as many players follow the clubs of their cards for several weeks – even if they aren’t actually fans of the club. But players who have got Leroy Fer can now stop.
That’s why Leroy Fer is a special case: For Fer’s What-If card, you don’t even need pack luck, you can simply get the player through a Squad Building Challenge. This requires only an 84-rated team and offers an 85-rated midfield card that is strong in all important stats. And the upgrade of the player by two points to 87 is now also already certain.
Because his club, Feyenoord Rotterdam, located in the South Holland region, crushed their opponent right away with a 6:0 at the first opportunity. Players Toornstra (scored twice), Geertruida, Linssen, Berghuis, and Bottegin gifted VVV Venlo the six goals. Fer didn’t even need to score himself.
Therefore, the question of a possible upgrade was quickly resolved, it should go live next Wednesday.
The nice thing about it: The SBC for Fer is still available until March 9. So you can still get the card now, even though it’s already clear that an upgrade is coming.
FIFA players celebrate, Leroy Fer celebrates too
This is how the community reacts: If you look at the FIFA subreddit, you can see that Feyenoord has likely gained a few fans at least temporarily.
- “The crazy ones actually did it,” cheers one player (via reddit).
- “Confirmed: The Feyenoord team consists of FIFA players,” comments one (via reddit), while another takes it a step further: “Confirmed: The VVV-Venlo team consists of FIFA players” (via reddit).
- “I started the SBC when they were already 4 goals ahead. By the time I finished, it was 6” (via reddit).
This is what Leroy Fer says: Leroy Fer himself also spoke via the Feyenoord Twitter account.
“Hey guys, 6:0 win today. I hope you enjoyed it!” says Fer, holding a real version of his card in front of the camera: “My stats are going up! I hope you use my card in FIFA!”
At least the card should be a pretty good option for players betting on Dutch teams or those needing a strong substitute.
