The FUT Champions is considered the hardest mode in FIFA Ultimate Team because of the tough competition. Even Mbappe got frustrated with the competitive nature of this mode. Further, this mode received a change with FIFA 22 to introduce balance, but it wasn’t much successful.

Since FIFA 22, the players need to accumulate a certain amount of points to enter the FUT Champions Play-Offs. Previously, the players had to win certain numbers to game to enter this mode. However, there are advantages to playing in this mode, as players get to win in-game coins and exciting player cards.
