Black Friday, Road to the World Cup, Best of TOTW and new Icons in FIFA 23
Update, November 25, 19:00: And now the first team of the “World Cup Icons” has also been released:
What are World Cup Icons? “World Cup Icons” replace the base and mid versions during the event and can be packed. The rating of the cards is between mid and prime, so they can be weaker than the prime icons.
However, they are said to come with other attributes, skill moves, and weak foot values that can be better than the prime version.
Update, November 25, 15:00: The “Road to the World Cup” team has been released.
According to EA (via ea.com), the cards consist of players who have particularly distinguished themselves in qualifying for their countries. They receive an upgrade, but apparently, they are not dynamic cards that can be further improved.
Update, November 25, 09:00: Meanwhile, the “Best of TOTW” has already been released, which is currently available in FIFA 23. You can see the whole team here:
Last but not least, the “Black Friday” has also been an event in previous FIFA installments multiple times. For this event, there are usually special packs in the shops – players can also expect this year.
How exactly the course of Black Friday will be this year is still open for now. As soon as there is more information, the article will be updated.
While the Best-of-TOTW was released during the event, it is also known that the regular TOTW will first be paused: There will be no typical TOTWs during the World Cup. This also affects the important rewards of the Weekend League in FIFA 23.
