In FIFA 20, the Weekend League rewards were once again on the line. However, the first round of rewards in the new year held a nasty surprise for you.
This is how the rewards work: Normally, all players can secure their Weekend League rewards on Thursday morning, depending on the number of their won matches. From Silver-3 rank onwards, Player Picks are also included. Here, you can secure cards from the current TOTW as special red cards. So, the climb to higher ranks is worth it – usually.
This is the problem: The first rewards in the year 2020 are faulty. Some players report that their red Player Picks from the TOTW have been replaced by completely random, normal gold cards. What’s going on?

This is how players are reacting: It is clear that this is not just an isolated incident. A megathread has been opened on reddit, where players are already lively discussing the broken picks. Many are wondering how such mistakes can keep happening. However, the problem is generally being taken humorously: “It seems someone’s SQL table didn’t run until 2020,” comments user Stas1986.
Will there be proper rewards? The majority of the community seems to think so. Most suggest activating the wrong picks and waiting for the correct rewards to arrive. It is considered unlikely that EA will simply not publish any correct rewards or deny special cards to players who take the picks now.
This is what EA Support says about the rewards
What does EA Sports say about this? Update: By 12:00 PM on Thursday, EA Sports had not said anything about it, but the communication channel on Twitter has now spoken up.
According to them, the team is aware of the problem, and they are working on it. When exactly the solution will come is still uncertain.
The delay in the first information was criticized by the community earlier in the morning: “I wonder when this famous Twitter account for direct communication will start to communicate about this,” commented user Lub1k. “They probably forgot the password,” speculated user anon4995.
