In FIFA 17, we take a closer look at the new “FUT Champions” mode.
The “Ultimate Team” mode in FIFA 17 is equipped with new features that are meant to bring fresh air into this successful mode that has been around for years. The biggest innovation is probably the Squad-Building Challenges, a completely new way for you to earn delicious rewards.
Especially for the best FIFA players among you, another new mode will be particularly interesting: FUT Champions. Here you can grab the most lucrative rewards in FUT 17 – if you can assert yourself against other players.
FUT Champions – The Best Rewards for the Best Players
FUT Champions is a fresh online competition mode in FIFA 17: FUT. You can play it on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Essentially, the mode consists of the following steps:
- Qualify
- Advance
- Claim Rewards
- And start all over again
If you consistently perform well in FUT Champions and climb the monthly leaderboards, you will receive “fantastic in-game rewards” and possibly even the chance to prove yourself on the big stage.
Step 1: Qualification for the Weekend League
To even get close to the big prizes in FUT Champions, you first need to qualify for the so-called Weekend League. EA Sports provides two ways for you to gain access:
- Daily Knock-Out Tournaments: During the week, you have a daily chance to win an online tournament. For winning, you receive in-game rewards along with eligibility for the Weekend League. To keep these tournaments from getting boring quickly, there are dynamic team participation requirements (like certain team chemistry, team rating, or number of different nations) and unique prizes. In the video embedded above, it can be seen that you have two or three attempts for a tournament each day. So there is a restriction.
- FUT Online Seasons: If you achieve weekly successes at the highest level in the Online Seasons mode, you automatically gain access to the Weekend League. However, these “highest-level successes” are not defined more precisely.
Now the Weekend Can Begin
Once the weekend begins and you are allowed to participate in the league, you need to achieve as many victories as possible within a certain number of games over the weekend. This way, you rank up and secure better rewards. The Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Elite ranks are divided into several tiers. The Top 100 wave down from the very top.
The video mentions 40 games available each weekend.
Staying in the Game Pays Off
If you have a strong performance one weekend and notice: “Aha, there is potential here!”, it is worth staying in the game for the upcoming weekends as well. This way, you can climb up the monthly leaderboards, allowing you to scoop the very best rewards in FUT. In addition to coin rewards, there are also special kits and unique “FUT Champions” player items.
By the way: The crème de la crème of you can win tickets to real tournaments and prizes through FUT Champions.
