Headliners Promo Coming Soon to FUT 21

  POSTED December 30, 2020

Cards are already present in FIFA 21 code and it seems that Headliners promo is coming to FIFA 21 in a few days. How did it work in FIFA 21? Which players could we expect. Let´s find out. 

In FIFA 20 EA picked players that they thought that would be set to write the headlines in 2020 thanks to their incredible form, glimpses of potential under a new manager, system or a return from the treatment table. FUT 20 Headliners celebrated those players with special unique dynamic items that were upgraded based on individual and team performances throughout the rest of the season.

Which players EA Picked in their first Headliners team


Neymar, Lewandowski, Salah, Mertens, Varane, Walker, Vardy, Semedo were among the most popular ones of the first team.

The second team arrived later, on January 24th and it included players like Aubameyang, Thiago Silva, Sterling, Reus. Wijnaldum, Werner, Tagliafico, Digne among others.

How did it worked? 

A. Performance-Based In-Form

FUT 20 Headliners were dynamic items that get automatically upgraded each time the player earns an in-form during the remainder of the season. Since the Headliner base card already received one in-form upgrade, this item will always stay one in-form ahead for the remainder of the season. 

So imagine Kanté gets a Headliner. His item would be rated 90 since he already has an 89 In-Form. If Kanté gets a new In-Form his overall rating will be 90, while his Headliner will be 91.

This important. Performance-Based in-forms only included 

  • TOTW
  • MOTM
  • Hero
  • Record Breaker
  • Team Of The Tournament selections

Headliner items were NOT upgraded based on

  • POTM
  • Award Winner
  • SBC or other in-game event selection.

B. Winning Streaks

FUT 20 Headliners also received an additional one-time permanent upgrade when their club achieved four back to back wins during the domestic league season. In this case, The Headliners item remained two In-Forms ahead of their last performance-based In-Form throughout FUT 20. It´s important to remember that only domestic league fixtures counted towards a players’ clubs' winning streak. Domestic Cup, UEFA competitions, and international fixtures did not count towards a club win streak.

So back to Kanté. Headliner 90. Chelsea wins 4 matches in a row in Premier League. Kanté Headliner will be 91, two ahead of this 89 In-Form.

Which players can we expect?

This is a prediction by @FUTAddict 

As he said, it will be interesting to see how they manage to avoid TOTY players and provide and interesting set headliners.

How does the new item look like?

Not a great difference to FIFA 20 one, right?  But in the end, there seems to be one. Instead of 4 wins in a row, it seems you will need 3 wins in a row to get the upgrade.

When does it start?

In FIFA 20, the first team arrived on January 17th. It seems that it could be coming to FIFA 21 next Friday. If you remember in FIFA 19, Headliners were released in February.
