FC 24 Winter Wildcards is over – and sadly we didn't get any Swap Tokens this year. But while EA Sports FC 24 brought an end to that Christmas tradition, there were plenty of fresh festive cards to nab in packs instead. These included Icons such as Ruud Gullit, and contemporary favourites like Christiano Ronaldo. Below are all the key details of this year's December promo, as well as the complete FC 24 Winter Wildcards cards list.

What is the FC 24 Winter Wildcards promo?

The FC 24 Winter Wildcards campaign was the final promo of 2023, and sees some of the most popular names in football granted fresh items. Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, for instance, gets his first special card of the season. The roster list features a mix of FC 24 Base Icons and contemporary players, and there are other treats too – such as packs costing 30 and 10 coins, and the usual selection of SBCs and Objectives players. In week one you could also score a special version of Jonathan Bamba of Celta Vigo by completing an objectives set featuring La Liga and French players. 

Who is in FC 24 Winter Wildcards Team 1?

FC 24 Winter Wildcards Team 1 landed on Friday, December 22 to follow up on the recent FC 24 Ultimate Dynasties and TOTGS campaigns. Brazilian legend Pele is a standout player with an OVR of 96, but he was extinct as of night one. Cristiano Ronaldo was similarly tough to get hold of, at 3.2 million coins. Less costly options include Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea, and Lyon’s Rayan Cherki. All the Team 1 cards can be seen on the full FC 24 Winter Wildcards list at the foot of this guide. 

How about FC 24 Winter Wildcards Team 2?

Alas, nope. FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards swap tokens made for one of the most fun elements last year's game, but there’s no FC 24 equivalent. Shame.
