What to Expect from EA FC 24's Winter Wildcards Event

EA FC 24 Ultimate Team is gearing up for the anticipated return of the Winter Wildcards promotion, promising a plethora of special player items, packs, objectives, SBCs, and more. This article delves into the details surrounding the Winter Wildcards event, covering the potential start date, player cards, packs, market impact, and leaks.


FC 24 Winter Wildcards Start Date:


The Winter Wildcards promotion is anticipated to commence on Friday, December 22, following the ongoing Team of the Group Stage promo. The event typically spans two weeks, mirroring its FIFA 22 launch, with the first Winter Wildcards team expected to grace packs from December 22 to 29, followed by a second squad taking over from December 29 to January 5.


FC 24 Winter Wildcards Leaks: What's in Store?


Despite EA's official silence on this year's details, leaks are surfacing about the Winter Wildcards event. These leaks include potential player cards, packs, and impacts on the FUT transfer market. Reliable FUT insiders have revealed several players, including Virgil van Dijk, Cristiano Ronaldo, Grimaldo, Enzo Fernandez, and Eder Militao, who could be featured in the Winter Wildcards squads.


Focus on Boosted Players and Attributes:


The Winter Wildcards promo traditionally focuses on boosting players in new positions or enhancing attributes. Predictions include defenders converting to midfielders or attackers, attackers moving to midfield, upgraded skill moves or weak foot attributes, pace boosts for slower players, and the introduction of 5/5 skill move and weak foot items. Major stat increases, ranging from +1 to +5, are also expected for top players.


FC 24 Winter Wildcards Packs & Content:


The event is expected to offer a variety of content, including standard Winter Wildcards packs, upgrade SBCs for recycling unwanted cards, daily objective players, Icon SBCs, Flashback SBCs requiring past special cards, and evolving 'Future Stars' style player items. The influx of packs will also lead to the release of consumables and club items to facilitate coin and point drainage.


Market Impact: Winter Wildcards Market Crash:


The Winter Wildcards promo is notorious for triggering a market crash. The combination of desirable new player items and a substantial supply of packs contributes to a significant decrease in player prices. Meta icons and special cards become available at a fraction of their former prices, prompting a market panic as investors aim to sell off high-value cards before further depreciation. While most players experience a price plummet, some cards like fodder and popular Ones to Watch (OTW) items could see a rise in demand for Winter Wildcards SBCs. The market freefall typically lasts through the promo, recovering gradually in January as supply diminishes.


Conclusion:


As the Winter Wildcards event unfolds, it offers an exciting window for both sellers and buyers in the FUT community. Sellers should strategize to mitigate losses during the market crash, while buyers can seize the opportunity to build dream squads and acquire icons at significantly reduced prices. However, wise investment is crucial, as another market crash often follows during the Team of the Year promo in early January.
