Headliners

They're 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 celebrates these players with special unique dynamic items that are permanently upgraded with the potential to be further upgraded based on individual and team performances throughout the 2019-2020 season! 

At the launch of the event, each FUT 20 Headliners player item is released at one in-form upgrade higher than their latest qualifying performance based In-Form (TOTW, MOTM, Hero, Record Breaker or Team of the Group Stage item) or their base item.

Each time a Headliner gets a performance based In-Form, their Headliner item will also receive an In-Form upgrade. This ensures that their Headliner item will always stay one in-form ahead for the remainder of the season. 

In addition, FUT 20 Headliners will also receive an additional one-time permanent upgrade if their club achieves four back to back wins during the remainder of the domestic league season. If this occurs, the Headliners item will remain two In-Forms ahead of their last performance based In-Form throughout FUT 20, making Headliners one of the most powerful and dynamic player items ever!

The first group of FUT 20 Headliners released on Friday 17 Jan.

A second group of FUT20 Headliners will be released on Friday 24 Jan.  

Watch out for some additional FUT20 Headliners to be also released through SBCs and objectives during the course of the event. Stay tuned to @EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter and Instagram for updates!
