In FIFA 21 the new Rulebreakers event in Ultimate Team has started. What does the new promo entail?
When does Rulebreakers start? Rulebreakers started on Friday, October 23rd. The start time was as usual at 7 PM. Since then, there have been new special cards in Ultimate Team. However, the game has been experiencing server issues since the event started.
What is included in the event? In the event, players can secure the new “Rulebreakers” cards. These are special cards of players who receive unusual changes in their stats.
The cards can be obtained in packs if one has a bit of luck. They can also be found on the market. How to earn a lot of coins for transfers is explained in our trading tips.
Additionally, there will be special SBCs and weekly tasks that can earn players one of the new cards.
Overview of Rulebreakers Team 1
This is what the new cards can do: EA Sports announced via Twitter which cards are part of the first Rulebreakers team.
The “Rulebreakers” leave their old playing style behind and transform into a different type of player. The first team includes:
- Harry Kane (91)
- Laporte (88)
- Douglas Costa (87)
- Dries Mertens (87)
- Nainggolan (85)
- Ocampos (85)
- André (83)
- Marcos Llorente (84)
- Lazzari (84)
- Kamara (83)
- Dumfries (83)
The cards have some very noticeable changes in stats.
- For example, Dries Mertens receives a decrease in dribbling but a significant upgrade in shooting. This could mean that this Mertens version is more likely to shoot rather than dribble.
- Harry Kane is known for his incredible shooting stats but is usually very slow. Here, the card has a speed rating of 91, which suddenly makes Kane a sprinter.
- Douglas Costa from Bayern receives not only a 3-point increase in his overall rating but also a strong boost in shooting. However, he loses a little bit of speed.
Interesting cards in SBCs and tasks
This is still included in the event: The event comes with more special cards in the SBCs and weekly tasks. In the tasks, players can acquire a particularly interesting card for Bundesliga teams: The Rulebreakers variant of Nordi Mukiele, who is a strong option as a right-back.
Also unusual is the player from the Player-Pick SBC. Here you can secure one of two versions of Inaki Williams: One with a particularly high dribbling stat or one with a high shooting stat.
Further Rulebreakers rewards are expected in live friendlies. These might soon be even more worthwhile – Friendlies are already fun anyway.
Rulebreakers instead of Halloween event?
Stat boosts usually came from the Ultimate Scream Event, which players had been expecting around Halloween. This role seems to be taken over by the Rulebreakers. As there will also be a second team, it is presumed that this will appear a week later – thus taking the slot for a Scream team for now.
However, EA announced on their official website that there will be Halloween content (via EA). From October 29th, SBCs and tasks will be available, featuring appropriate kits, stadium items, and pack rewards. What exactly this will look like, we will probably find out next week.
If you still need coins for new cards, you should check your club to see if there are some hidden treasures there. Some items surprisingly yield a lot of coins in Ultimate Team.
