The UEFA Champions League’s knockout stage starts on February 13th, and the other European tournaments will start soon after. To celebrate the events, EA Sports FC 24 is seemingly on the verge of yet another promo team into Ultimate Team. As the follow-up to the Team of the Year, developer Electronic Arts needs to nail this one to try and keep players from dropping off in what is sometimes a lean period for the franchise. Recently, several of the players getting new cards for the new promo have been revealed. The new Road to the Final team includes studs from some of the best clubs in the world, and keep in mind that these players can upgrade based on real-world performance. It’s going to be a doozy for EA Sports FC 24‘s faithful player base.

EAFC Road to the Final Leaked Players
These leaks come from FUT Sheriff and FIFA Trading Romania on Twitter. Both accounts have built up a solid reputation in the EA Sports FC 24 community during the last few years. Of course, you’ll still want to take these leaks with a hefty grain of salt. Sheriff, in particular, is generally solid but has had a few mishaps over the years, so don’t assume anything. Here are the currently leaked players:
Road to the Final Leaked Players
- Rafael Leao – AC Milan
- Gabriel Jesus – Arsenal
- Pedri – Barcelona
- Toni Kroos – Real Madrid
- Ansu Fati – Brighton Hove and Albion
- Lindsey Horan – Lyon
- Romelu Lukaku – Roma
- Gianluigi Donnarumma – PSG
- Darwin Nunez – Liverpool
- Niklas Sule – Dortmund
- Jose Maria Gimenez – Atletico Madrid
- Xavi Simons – RB Leipzig
- Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa – Napoli
- Mikel Merio – Real Sociedad
- Nathan Tella – Bayer Leverkusen
- Emerson Palmieri – West Ham
- Elisa De Almeida – PSG
- Nicolas Gonzalez – Fiorentina
- Leon Bailey – Aston Villa
- Lautaro Martinez – Inter (SBC)
All of these players may not drop into the game at the same time. The Champions League does not return until February 13th. EA may be holding back players for a mini-release over the upcoming weekend. It could also stretch this promo into a two-week event to ensure RTTF cards are in packs when the games start back up. That said, all of these players will be in EA Sports FC 24 at some point.
How Does Road to the Finals Work in EAFC 24?
The leaked version of the upgrade patch claims that players will be able to grab five upgrades beyond the basic upgrade they get for receiving an RTTF card. Not all of these are strict OVR upgrades, but if a player’s team is able to the final of their European tournament, they’ll be in line for a huge boost. Here is the rumored upgrade path:
- Win or Draw 1st Knockout Game – +1 In-Form
- Qualify for Quarter Finals – +1 In-Form
- Qualify for Semi Finals – +1 In-Form
- Qualify for the Final- +1 PlayStyle+
- Win the Final – +1 In-Form, 5-Star Skill Move, and 5-Star Weak Foot
EA Sports FC 24 Road to the Final Leaked Start Date
The Road to the Final promo is starting on February 2nd at 1 p.m. ET. The Team of the Year promo ends at that exact same time, and EA doesn’t usually give players a break between promos. That said, EA may stretch this out over two weeks. This would make the promo live when the tournaments start back next month.
EA Sports FC 24 is available now on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms.
