After Team 1 set the tone with major upgrades and creative position changes, attention has now shifted to Winter Wildcards Team 2, which is already generating strong buzz through reliable leaks.
Team 2 looks set to expand the promo with more hybrid players, flexible positioning, and high-skill attackers, while also adding depth options that fit both meta squads and creative builds. Here’s a complete breakdown of everything we know so far, including the leaked player list, what makes Team 2 different, and when the cards are expected to go live.
