Many FIFA 23 players thought, as I did, that Ultimate Team's next promo would be FUTTIES, but EA Sports' decision seemed unexpected. At present, the developer has officially announced that the next promotion has started on July 7th, called Level Up, which is an event that has never been seen before.

The Emergence Of Level Up Surprised Players

Shapeshifter promotion will be exiting FIFA 23 Ultimate Team recently, replaced by a brand new in-game promotion called "Level Up" instead of the expected FUTTIES event. And the current FIFA 23 Level Up Team 1 lineup has been confirmed.

Over the past few weeks, FIFA 23 fans have enjoyed the biggest and most exciting Shapeshifters sale in FUT history, featuring some of the best FUT cards the game has ever seen, including the 99-point Shapeshifter Icon Pele, they can be purchased with FUT 23 Coins. However, it had to end, due to a never-before-seen promotion, Level Up, which will replace it in FUT.

The release of Level Up trailer came as a surprise to many as last year's popular FUT trailer, FUTTIES will be released right after Shapeshifters trailer in FIFA 22, usually in July. Here's everything I know about the upcoming Level Up promotion, including confirmed release dates, upcoming player info, updates on FUTTIES and more.

Level Up is an ongoing promotion for FUT 23, and with EA Sports confirming its arrival and explaining how it will work with FUT loading screens, a bunch of upcoming players have also been leaked on social media.

FIFA 23 Level Up Confirms Release Date

Via FUT loading screen, EA uploaded a card image with a countdown timer until the release of Level Up. The arcade-like design is indeed pleasing to the eye, and the accompanying countdown confirms that Level Up will take place on July 7th at 6pm (BST) / 1pm (EST) / 10am (PDT) on FUT release.

The card design of Level Up promotion also surprised players, with many in FUT community rating Level Up card as one of the best cards in FUT history.

There's no information yet on how long FUT sale will last, but I expect it could be two weeks. This means Level Up will likely drop out of FUT pack on Friday 14th July at 5:59pm BST / 12:59pm ET / 9:59am PDT.

FIFA 23 Level Up Introduction

In Level Up promotion, players can "Level Up" these special items by completing in-game tasks. This promo is very similar to FUT Ballers promo, but players must first complete objectives with the lower-tier versions of the cards before unlocking the higher-tier versions.

For example, EA has confirmed that Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez will be included in the promotional video. On the left is Fernandez's level 92 upgrade card. If you want to get the level 95 version, players must complete the "Level Up Your Game" goal in FUT.

About FUTTIES

Much of FUT community has been anticipating FUTTIES promotion, but the emergence of Level Up promotion confirms that it won't be released just yet.

There's no confirmation that it will be released, but I expect it to, just later than first thought.

In FIFA 23, we all know that there are many Formations in the corresponding Career Mode. A good Formation is also very advantageous for defeating opponents and can easily win.

Background

FIFA 23 Career Mode has a variety of Formations that players can use to eliminate their opponents with ease. While skill is certainly important for players, there are many effective strategies and tactics in FIFA 23 that players can use to improve their ranks and earn more FUT Coins.

But you will find that there are so many career forms available online that it is difficult for players to find a suitable career form. But don't worry, today I will introduce you to the best Career Mode Formations.

In FIFA 23, the best Career Mode Formations mainly include the following two. If you use the following Formation modes, it can help you better understand the gameplay and help you improve your overall game ranking. One of the Formations presented below is actually a Formation used by European soccer coaches.

The Best Career Mode Formations

FIFA 23 fans, do you know what the best Career Mode Formations are available in the game? Below I take a look at some of the best Career Mode Formations in FIFA 23 that can be used effectively to win.

4-2-3-1 Formation

The 4-2-3-1 Formation has existed in FIFA games for a long time and is considered by players to be an eternal classic. The 4-2-3-1 Formation is the most balanced Formation and can be adapted to a variety of play styles. This is the Formation of choice for many recreational players, and some pros use it as well.

The following is a detailed description of the 4-2-3-1 Formation:

• CAM (central attacking midfielder) links the attack from all areas of the pitch, while the three attacking midfielders in a 4-2-3-1 provide a unique dynamic element to the attack.
• Wide midfielders can act as wingers for players who like to exploit the space on the wide sides quickly, but they can also reach deep into the midfield to provide passing options for different attacking styles.
• The two centre-backs serve as the balance point of the Formation, they help attack and defend.
• CAM and these two players have played a huge role in keeping the 4-2-3-1 Formation viable in FIFA 23.

5-3-2 Formation

The 5-3-2 Formation has become the most popular Formation, and with many streamers promoting this Formation, its popularity has grown accordingly. It's also worth noting that managers in European football are using it. The advantage of this Formation is that it defends very well, is difficult to be attacked by the opponent, and provides players with multiple opportunities to launch counterattacks. Unsurprisingly, this Formation also works very well in FIFA 23 and is a favorite of FIFA fans.

The following is a detailed description of the 5-3-2 Formation:

• It has two strikers and three midfielders. Strikers interact with each other through efficient one-two passes, while the three midfielders provide their support, and the midfielders are also responsible for the defensive play.
• The full-backs also play a vital role in this Formation, as they provide width to the game when attacking, while acting as full-backs when defending.
• It's worth noting that players need to have speedy centre-backs, versatile full-backs and creative playmakers in midfield to be effective in a 5-3-2 Formation.

The above is the introduction of the two best game Formations for FIFA Career Mode. If you are a FIFA fan like me, I hope the above introduction will be helpful to you.
