How to Complete FUT Birthday Stefan Lainer SBC in FIFA 22

EA Sports has dropped yet another exciting new SBC, this time as part of their FUT Birthday promotion, honoring one of the true superstars of the Bundesliga—Stefan Lainer. Here’s everything you need to know about how to complete the FUT Birthday Stefan Lainer SBC in FIFA 22.

Stefan Lainer already carries an excellent 80 OVR gold card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, as well as an 83 OVR TOTW version. But this latest promo gives the M’gladbach defender an 88 OVR FUT Birthday version, including upgrades to his passing (+10), physical (+10), dribbling (+9), pace (+9), defending (+8), and shooting (+7). Both his skill moves and weak foot also get boosts to five stars.
