How does the upgrade mechanic work?

NUMBERSUP Player upgrades will occur periodically throughout the football season. NUMBERSUP players will reach 99 in the specific attribute to which their boot corresponds (Dribbling/Handling, Passing, or Pace) by the end of the season, but their other attributes will also be boosted to a smaller degree.

When will the upgrades happen?

There will be two additional NUMBERSUP upgrades over the course of the football season. After the initial upgrade at the launch of the campaign on November 12, the second upgrade will take place at the end of December, and the third and final upgrade will come later in 2022. Stay tuned to @EASPORTSFUT for the latest news.

Will players still get upgrades if they are injured or don’t play?

Yes. NUMBERSUP players’ upgrades aren’t linked to real-world performances so they will still receive upgrades periodically during the season as they reach the 99 in the attribute that corresponds to their boot.

Do the players’ OVR ratings increase to 99 as well?

No. Although NUMBERSUP players’ OVR will progressively increase and improve, only the specific attribute that corresponds to their boot will reach 99 by the end of the season.

What happens if an adidas NUMBERSUP player is no longer an adidas partner player?

If a player changes from using adidas boots to another brand it will not affect their item or progression and they will still be eligible for all NUMBERSUP upgrades.
