FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards Team 2 leaks, predictions and confirmed release date

Team 2 of the Winter Wildcards promo will be revealed in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week, with some of the involved players reportedly leaked on social media.

Following five weeks of 2022 World Cup -themed promos in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, EA released the Winter Wildcards promo into FUT last week, with the promo loaded with incredible players including Kevin De Bruyne, Ousmane Dembele, N'Golo Kante, Jadon Sancho and Ferland Mendy. Alongside the promo, EA released a Winter Wildcards Swaps program, with 25 Winter Wildcards player tokens set to be released over the course of the promo to improve rewards for FUT players.

Winter Wildcards replaced the FUT Freeze promo in FIFA 22, which was the replacement for the fan-favourite FUTmas promo in FIFA 21. And, ahead of the official release by EA, a handful of players who are set to feature in Team 2 of the Winter Wildcards promo have been leaked on social media.
