EA Sports releases new ‘special’ cards into FIFA 22 Ultimate Team every week. The developers put premium players into packs, and also offer some to grind towards through Squad-Building Challenges and Objectives. This steady influx of desirable new players means that even very good cards fall by the wayside rather quickly. Many will bottom out and reach ‘discard’ price, meaning that discarding them through the menus will compensate you with just as many FUT coins as you would receive for listing them on the Transfer Market.
But that doesn’t mean these cards are bad. In fact, it’s perfectly possible to assemble a great team using nothing but players who fall into that ‘discard’ price range, and still be competitive in the higher echelons of FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. Here is a team we put together for less than 170,000 coins, which a committed player could earn just by playing game modes like Rivals and Squad Battles for a week or two and opening the rewards. All these cards are available on the Transfer Market for their discard price or a few thousand more, and the team gets 100 chemistry in-game, with everyone on full chem except Adel Taarabt on 8.
Follow us to the end of the journey and we’ll tell you how it fared in the FUT Champions Weekend League!
