TOTW, TOTY, Headliners, RTTF. Looking through all the FIFA 21 events is not always easy, even for professionals. The Champions League and Europa League return this week. We’ll tell you what that means for the dynamic RTTF maps.
Do you have some of the best Headliners cards on your team and maybe even a Future Stars player or two ? Then it’s time to deal with the dynamic RTTF cards in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team again: Champions League and Europa League are back and the next upgrades are waiting !
FIFA 21 RTTF (Road to the Final) is back
We remember: In November EA Sports launched the dynamic RTTF maps , which revolve around the Champions League & Europa League. Certain players on participating teams can look forward to new special cards with improved values .
As the team progresses through the tournament, the ratings increase. From February 16, the UCL and UEL are returning . And with that, the next upgrades of the RTTF cards are imminent.
Champions League round of 16 and the RTTF cards
It starts on February 16 with the game between RB Leipzig and FC Liverpool in the Champions League Round of 16 – both teams also have an RTTF card in FUT mode on the pitch. But how do the upgrades work?
- If a team wins the first leg, the RTTF cards add 1 point
- If the team wins the second leg, the card also increases by 1 point
- Overall, a rating boost of +2 points OVR is possible in the round of 16
- If there is a tie, there is no upgrade
The first upgrade is sometimes already available on February 16th, but the second only on March 17th .
Central defender Lukas Klostermann (RB Leipzig) is already completely overpowered and could have an overall OVR of 87 with two wins . On the other hand, Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool FC) already starts at 87 OVR, here a boost up to 89 OVR is theoretically possible.
FUT RTTF: The Europa League intermediate round
Things are a little different in the UEFA Europa League . The intermediate round or the sixteenth final is on the program here, so we are one round further away from the final. Therefore , the RTTF upgrades also behave a little differently :
- Here there is only an upgrade if the team moves into the round of 16
- Overall, a rating boost of +1 point OVR is possible in the intermediate round
The first leg starts on February 18th , the second leg is on February 25th . This means: There is only one upgrade here, but it finds its way into FIFA 21 Ultimate Team faster than in the Champions League.
FIFA 21 Tip: These RTTF cards are particularly hot
Shortly before the start of the UCL and UEL , the prices of the RTTF cards on the transfer market are rising sharply, some are almost unaffordable at the moment .
If you want to strengthen your team or make a big profit, you should keep an eye on the UEFA Europa League , as there are some strong teams with supposedly easy opponents.
You can currently get Ihlas Bebou (TSG Hoffenheim) quite cheaply, the opponent of Hoffenheim (Molde FK) is also beatable. Moussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen) , Bruno Peres (Roma FC) , Ante Rebic (AC Milan) and Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City) are also worth investing in.
All other UEL RTTF cards have risen so much in recent weeks that it is not worth buying at this point in time.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
