Here's everything confirmed, what to do with your fodder before Friday, and which Team 1 cards are worth holding.

These names are from multiple leaker sources and are widely considered reliable. EA has not officially confirmed; treat them as strong predictions until Friday's reveal.

Team 2 ratings will be confirmed on June 12 at 18:00 UTC. This article will be updated immediately.

The One Team 1 Card Worth Knowing: De Bruyne 96

The only Team 1 Path to Glory card currently in ItemD2R's database with confirmed stats is De Bruyne 96 CM++: PAC 91 / SHO 93 / PAS 97 / DRI 95 / DEF 91 / PHY 92. That passing stat alone makes him arguably the best CM distributor in the game right now. With Team 2 bringing fresh supply Friday, Team 1 prices may dip — then recover as World Cup match results start triggering upgrades. Classic promo window: buy the dip, sell after the first upgrade.

What To Do Right Now (Before Friday)

• Don't dump fodder yet. Team 2 will almost certainly come with SBCs. Hold 84+ and 85+ cards — you'll need them.
• Watch Team 1 prices. De Bruyne and the confirmed Team 1 names may take a short dip Friday as attention shifts to Team 2. That dip is your entry window if you want them.
• Check your World Cup watch-list. PTG cards upgrade as their national team progresses. Before buying a card, check if that nation has a realistic path to the quarters or semis — the biggest rating jumps happen in the knockouts.
• Stack coins. Team 2 promo SBCs will require coins. Don't be caught dry on Friday morning.

How the Path to Glory Upgrade System Works

Each PTG player card comes with a base rating and multiple upgrade tiers tied to their national team's World Cup results. Win a group stage match → +1 to +2 OVR. Reach the Round of 16 → another bump. Quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals each unlock an additional tier. A card that starts at 88 can reach 94+ if the country goes all the way. That's the whole point of holding — you're betting on football results, not the transfer market.
