Dial up the nostalgia as football's most memorable players return to the pitch as FUT Heroes in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. Here’s everything we know about FUT Heroes in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
What are FUT Heroes in FIFA 22?
FUT Heroes is a new player type in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. They represent a player and their hero moment in a specific league. Unlike ICONs, they offer a unique chemistry bonus to any players from the same league.
How chemistry works for FUT Hero cards
They come with a unique chemistry bonus. These players are tied to a league (specific to a heroic moment from their career) as well as their nationality, but will not represent a club.
This means FUT Heroes will offer a green link to any player in the same league as them, as you would get placing two players from the same club together. They will also give the usual chemistry for players from the same nation.
EA official stated: "FUT Heroes have unique league-specific chemistry which is tied to their specific hero moment, providing a green Club link to any player within the same league as well as the usual nation link, giving you new ways to build your dream squad and recreate some of football's most famous moments in FUT 22."

How to get FUT Hero cards FIFA 22?
Here's a look at how to get them:
- FUT Heroes will be available in packs - just like most other cards in the game. You will then be able to buy and sell them on the Transfer Market. This may require a large number of FIFA 22 coins.
- Pre-order the FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition before August 11 and get an untradeable FUT Heroes player from December 1!
- Other FUT Heroes cards may become available through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs).
It takes time to FUT coins, so purchasing FIFA 22 Coins online is a very good idea. It has been accepted by most FIFA players in the previous versions. This can save you very much squad-building time and have more fun in the game. But, the main concern – is buying FIFA 22 Coins safe?
Last year there was an unlimited glitch for EA Access which was only working for Xbox and not PlayStation. This same glitch worked for Madden 22 this year, so that's a good sign this glitch would be working for FIFA 22.
Generating FIFA 22 coins in the early stages of the game gives you a huge boost and allows you to progress at a must faster rate across the first few weeks.
FIFA 21 is a definite step in the right direction on the football pitch. While a few issues are apparent, there are always opportunities to make the next game better. Hopefully, they can carry the positive momentum to FIFA 22. While we wait to find out first-hand, here’s what we and many other players want to see in FIFA 22.
