FIFA 22 Prime Icon Moments player items set for release following FUT loading screen

EA Sports has confirmed that Prime Icon Moments player items will be added to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team very soon.

With the Base, Mid and Prime Icon player items already available in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, EA has confirmed that the Prime Icon Moments player items will be revealed and released into FIFA 22 Ultimate Team on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 18:00 PM GMT, celebrating heroic moments of icons in their prime.

Each FUT Icon with a Prime Icon Moments player Item will receive a plus one overall rating boost on their Prime Icon player item, along with boosts to their attributes. Some Prime Icon Moments player items can also receive skill moves and weak foot upgrades, further improving their player items, making them some of the most powerful cards in FIFA Ultimate Team.

With the FUT Birthday promo starting at 18:00 PM GMT on Friday, March 4, 2022, it may be surprising to some to see such an anticipated release fall the day after a promo, potentially overshadowing the FUT Birthday event.

With 98 pace, 97 dribbling and 97 shooting, Ronaldo, who is already regarded as the best striker in FUT, looks to be one of the best player items to be released in FUT 22 so far. The Brazilian is joined on the loading screen by Zinedine Zidane and Ferenc Puskas, with the trio building the excitement in the FIFA 22 community.

FUT Icon player items celebrate legendary players who have retired from football but are brought back into the game through a special player item in FIFA Ultimate Team. There are currently 105 FUT Icon items in FIFA 22, but they are some of the rarest cards in the game and the most expensive to buy in the in-game Ultimate Team transfer market.

FUT Icons are one of the most popular player items in FIFA due to their high-rated stats and ability to link with any player in the game chemistry-wise. Players who receive a Prime Moments Icon card are given this based on one famous moment in their career, making it their highest-rated version.

The top ten highest rated FUT Prime Icon Moments player items would be as follows:

  1. CAM: Pele (Brazil) - 99
  2. CAM: Diego Maradona (Argentina) - 98
  3. ST: Ronaldo (Brazil) - 97
  4. CAM: Zinedine Zidane (France) - 97
  5. CF: Ferenc Puskas (Hungary) - 95
  6. CF: Johan Cruyff (Holland) - 95
  7. GK: Lev Yashin (Russia) - 95
  8. RW: Mane Garrincha (Brazil) - 95
  9. CB: Paolo Maldini (Italy) - 95
  10. LW: Ronaldinho (Brazil) - 95
