In FIFA 21, the “What If” Team 2 has appeared in FUT. New dynamic cards are available that can improve.
The second part of What If has started: On Friday evening, March 5, 2021, at 19:00, the second part of the new FUT promo began. The first What-If team is now being replaced by another team. They are now available in packs, but the chances of top players are low.
What is What If? The event brings new dynamic cards that can improve their values. They receive a +2 upgrade if certain scenarios in real football are met.
- Forwards and midfielders are improved if their team scores at least 6 goals in the next 5 league matches.
- Defenders and goalkeepers receive the upgrade if their club keeps a clean sheet at least once in the next 5 league matches.
The new cards from “What If” Team 2 – featuring Vincenzo Grifo
These players are included: In Team 2 of the What-If promo, there is a colorful mix of players from different leagues.
From the Bundesliga, Vincenzo Grifo from SC Freiburg is present. An unusual card that could be exciting: The midfielder has received a strong upgrade to 86 and could rise further.
For Bundesliga teams, he should be an interesting alternative on the left side. After all, the card brings strong values in all offensive areas – pace, dribbling, shots, and passes look quite good even before a possible upgrade.
Additionally, there are strong cards in Serie A such as Mertens and Lucas Leiva, or Morales as an exciting forward in the Spanish league. The complete team is as follows:
- Dries Mertens (SSC Napoli)
- Lucas Leiva (Lazio Rome)
- Ricardo Pereira (Leicester City)
- Richarlison (FC Everton)
- Florian Thauvin (Olympique Marseille)
- Sergio Reguilón (Tottenham Hotspur)
- Daniel Wass (FC Valencia)
- Vincenzo Grifo (SC Freiburg)
- Pepe (FC Porto)
- Krépin Diatta (AS Monaco)
- José Luis Morales (Levante UD)
In the new weekly objectives, you will find another Bundesliga player: There you can get Guendouzi (CDM) from Hertha BSC. The midfielder has received a card with 87 and also has the chance for an upgrade.
How is the first What-If upgrade going?
Whether the players are improved depends on their real results in football. So you have no influence on that. However, there have already been a few cards from Team 1 that have already earned their upgrade a week later.
- Kevin Mbabu managed to keep a clean sheet with VfL Wolfsburg and has already received his upgrade. He is now at 87.
- Marcelo also kept a clean sheet with Olympique Lyon last Wednesday. However, his upgrade of two points is not yet live.
When will the What-If upgrade come? The What-If players will be improved at the earliest on the following Wednesday after the game in which the upgrade scenario was fulfilled. Accordingly, Marcelo should also be improved next week.
For the other players, it remains exciting for now. When and whether they will get an upgrade is still open at this point.
What is certain is that some of the cards can already complement your team for the Weekend League. The special cards already have very strong values without an upgrade. Possibly too strong? At least the TOTW can hardly keep up with events – which affects the Weekend League rewards in FIFA 21.
