The ever-popular Winter Wildcards are coming to FC 26 Ultimate Team ahead of the festive season, and the first leaks have already arrived on social media.
Unlike other promos, there are no doubts over the eventual release of Winter Wildcards. We already have a Winter Wildcards item guaranteed from Season 3 rewards in Ultimate Team. However, more cards are coming to the promo soon, and the social media leaks have signalled what to expect.
