FIFA 23: Centurions Arrive In Ultimate Team

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

That pretty much sums up this promo. With the conclusion of Winter Wilcards, EA Sports unveiled a brand-new campaign in FUT called Centurions.

Already teased for a week via the pre-loading FUT screen, this new promo celebrates players that conquered the milestone of 100. The Centurions are players that managed 100+ caps and sometimes 100+ goals, assists or clean sheets during their career.  That’s why their special cards will come with a massive boots to their attributes and overall rating in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

There will be two teams released during this promo, and we will also see Centurions themed content available across Objectives, Squad Building Challenges and Moments. With that out of the way, let’s discover which players made it in the first team!

Centurions Team 1

The first Centurions squad is headlined by non other than PSG’s superstar, Neymar Jr. with a 91-rated card. Other players included are Jamie Vardy, Presnel Kimpembe or FUT favourite, Wissam Ben Yedder. Here’s the full team:

• CAM: Neymar Jr (Paris Saint-Germain) – 91 OVR
• RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) – 90 OVR
• ST: Wissam Ben Yedder (AS Monaco) – 89 OVR
• LB: Jordi Alba (Barcelona) – 88 OVR
• ST: Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) – 88 OVR
• RM: Joaquin (Real Betis) – 87 OVR
• LW: Ante Rebic (AC Milan) – 87 OVR
• CM: James Milner (Liverpool) – 87 OVR
• CB: Presnel Kimpembe (Paris Saint-Germain) – 86 OVR
• CB: Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan) – 86 OVR
• CAM: Lorenzo Pellegrini (AS Roma) – 86 OVR
• CAM: Florian Neuhaus (Borussia Monchengladbach) – 85 OVR
• CDM: Maximillian Arnold (Wolfsburg) – 85 OVR

Some of the ratings are not as high as the community expected, so we hope EA will remediate with Team 2 that is expected to drop next Friday, January 13th when the first team gets removed from the packs.

Also, it is important to mention that each team will have a Mini-Release scheduled, one for Sunday 8th January and the other one on Saturday 14th January.

New FUT Hero

Something unexpected came with the FUT Centurions promo, a new FUT Hero! Former Spurs and one club man, Ledley King is the latest addition to the Heroes roster in Ultimate Team.

The 86-rated central back is now available in packs and players can get his loan version card from the FUT Moments Star Gallery.
