FIFA 21 FUT Freeze
The FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Freeze event started December 11. As it turns out, this year's Christmas promo in the popular FUT mode has a lot to offer. The idea behind the format is based on the Shapeshifters from previous years. In short, players are moved out of their typical position and thrown somewhere else on the field. Of course, this is complemented by re-arranges stats to accommodate the player's new role on the pitch.

Here's the list of players with new positions that were made available on the day of release:
- ST: Sadio Mané - 92 OVR (Liverpool)
- CB: Casemiro - 90 OVR (Real Madrid)
- LM: Marco Verratti - 88 OVR (Paris Saint-Germain)
- CAM: Bernardo Silva - 88 OVR (Manchester City)

Some of the cards are pretty damn strong. For example, with the right chem style, Sadio Mané is a 95 OVR forward and Casemiro instantly becomes the best center back in La Liga (94 OVR).
