FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards Team 2 revealed with Karim Benzema and Gabriel Jesus

EA Sports has unveiled the FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards Team 2, with a foremost name headlining the squad.

Winter Wildcards is a winter-themed promo in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team containing heavily-boosted player items with position changes, skill moves and weak foot upgrades, and in some cases, stats being boosted to 99 overall. Winter Wildcards Team 1 was in FUT Packs for one week, containing some incredible players such as Kevin De Bruyne, N'Golo Kante, Ousmane Dembele, Ferland Mendy and Jadon Sancho.

But now, Team 2 has replaced Team 1 in Ultimate Team, with some big names featured including Real Madrid 's Karim Benzema, Arsenal 's Gabriel Jesus, Manchester United 's Raphael Varane and more. EA has also released a Winter Wildcards Swaps event to run alongside the duration of the Winter Wildcards promo, with 25 tokens set to be released in total.

Team 2 of the Winter Wildcards promo is available in FUT now, with the squad remaining available in-game until Friday, January 6 at 6pm GMT / 1pm ET / 10am PT. More players are expected to be released during that time as SBCs, Objectives and as part of a mini-release, with a further 17 players released during Team 1's duration in Packs.
