Fantasy FC Confirmed Upgrades - Week 2

The second week of Fantasy FC Upgrades are here and we’re already seeing some tidy upgrades! Plenty of teams locked in their first win of two but we do already have some PlayStyle and PlayStyle Upgrades!

It was FA Cup weekend in England so no Premier League cards received any upgrades over the weekend but don’t worry there are still plenty more to get in to!

Heroes

Blaise Matuidi - 1 OVR and Box to Box++

The first Hero Upgrade locked in is for Blaise Matuidi after PSG’s great form continues with a 4-1 win against Lille. They’re sitting on 7/10 goals with 2 games left so be expecting full upgrades from this card. 

Gianluca Vialli - 1 OVR and Role++

Vialli is the only one on this list whose upgrade isn’t in game yet. Presumably this is due to Juventus’ match being played last night and not over the weekend, so the upgrade is confirmed but just not in game yet.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - 1 OVR and Winger++

Another week, another upgrade for Kvara. Just like Matuidi, PSG’s second win secured him a +1 OVR and new Role. Just need to hope he avoids a booking in the next 2!

Moises Caicedo - Incisive Pass and Technical

I did say there'll be no Premier League upgrades from this weekend, but Caicedo’s came from their 4-0 win over Southampton last Tuesday. A couple of nice PlayStyles but he was booked last week so will miss out on that upgrade. 

Rinsola Babajide - Finesse Shot and Whipped Pass

A goal in Tenerife’s 1-1 draw this weekend secured 2 extra PlayStyles for Babajide!

Phillip Billing - Anticipate and Relentless

Billing was already an incredible card for the price but has now been given 2 incredible PlayStyles. He only featured for 11 minutes against Inter but that’s all he needed to score a valuable equalizer. 

Emi Buendia - 1 OVR and Shadow Striker++

For this upgrade we did get a little bit lucky. The SBC was originally meant to be released the day after a Leverkusen game, but was released on the same day they beat Holsten Keil. A 2nd win this weekend means we see a +1 for Buendia who is still an active SBC!

Victor Tsygankov - Pinged Pass and First Touch

A goal and assist against Celta Vigo for Tsygankov, but unfortunately Girona could only manage a draw in this match up!

Carney Chukwuemeka - 1 OVR and Half Winger++

Another overall upgrade, this time for Dortmund’s new man Carney Chukwuemeka. There are reports he’s injured so the individual upgrades might be over but we’ll have to wait and see.

Jonathan Burkardt - Trivela and Flair

Burkardt secured his first goal of the Fantasy Fixtures in a 2-1 win over Leipzig this weekend. Flair is pretty useless but Trivela is a really nice addition. 

Alexis Saelemaekers - Tiki Taka and Quick Step

A goal in a Roma win over Como locks in Saelemaekers first Fantasy Upgrade. Tiki Taka and Quick Step. 

Evann Guessand - Rapid+ and Power Header

Our only PlayStyle+ upgrade this week belongs to Evann Guessand. He gained Rapid+ and base Power Header after a goal in a 3-1 win over Saint-Ettiene. 

Yellow and Red Cards

If players can avoid a booking in the next 4 matches they’ll be rewarded with a +1 OVR and either a 5* Weak Foot or Skill Moves, seem easy enough? Not for some, there are some players who just couldn’t help themselves.

Djordje Petrovic - Yellow Card in the 94th Minute vs Auxerre (1-0 Win)

Nico Zaniolo - Yellow Card in the 61st Minute vs Lecce (1-0 Win)
