FIFA 18: EA Sports could hand out a load of free Ultimate Team packs this month

FIFA Ultimate Team turns nine this month – and to mark the special occasion, EA Sports will be running a FUT Birthday campaign.

This traditionally kicks off at the end of the month – and will see a host of new SBCs, kits and upgraded players. In fact, one of the kits looks to have been leaked here.

In the past, EA Sports has also given out free packs every day for a week, so it could be a very exciting time indeed for Ultimate Team players.

So, what can we expect this year?

FUT Birthday Squad

Every year a FUT Birthday Squad is announced.

This will feature 23 current players who were fan favorites in previous versions.

Each FUT Birthday Squad member will have upgraded ratings reminiscent of their past FUT item and a brand-new item type.

In addition to the regular rewards you get for completing the SBC, you will become eligible for tiered rewards if you complete three or more Daily Birthday SBCs.
