Flashback player cards are awarded to some FUT players in order to celebrate their historic seasons of great form. These special items are untradeable and released via Squad Building Challenges. We already know the card desing but which one could be the first player to get a flashback in FIFA 22 ?
The first player ever to get a Flashback card was Juanfran in FIFA 19. In FIFA 20 the first player to be awarded a Flashback was Walcott. And finally, in FIFA 21 the chosen one was Axel Witsel, a player that already got a Flashback card in FIFA 20.
So first a player of La Liga, then a player from the Premier League and finally a player from Bundesliga. A defender, a striker a forward, and a central midfielder. So probably this year the card could go to a Serie A or Ligue 1 player.
The first player that receives a flashback usually has an overall rating between 85 and 87. So from Serie A Chris Smalling could be a good choice. The Flashback would be to his Futties card from FIFA 17. Smalling never got a Flashback card and he has been one of the favorite players in previous seasons. A defender with 80 pace and 89 defending stats at this stage of the game could be useful. A player with great links to Serie A and even Premier League players.
From Ligue 1 it could be Payet. He already got a Flashback card in FIFA 19 ( 90 ) but as well as Witsel he could get a second one with a lower rating. The flashback could be to his FIFA 15 Ligue 1 TOTT card. An 87, center-advanced midfielder that could join any of the PSG forwards.
Expect the first flashback card during the next 2 weeks.
