Today, EA Sports shared some important information on FIFA 22 Pro Clubs, including new features and gameplay mechanics that will help to improve the overall experience.

FIFA 22 Pro Clubs Features

Drop-In

The matchmaking duration is supposed to be reduced with the new entry, thanks to the Drop-in feature. With this new system, you will be able to create a squad with up to four players, whether they are your friends or the players from the recent match.

With this, you already have four players out of the total 10 before starting the matchmaking. If many players do the same, then you wouldn't need to wait minutes for a new match.

Also, you will be able to choose your preferred position, known as Play Style, before the matchmaking. With this, you will be never dropped into a match where you should play in a position you don't like.

Keep in mind that Drop-In is a standalone game mode inside the Pro Clubs. This means the matchmaking for League and Cup tournaments will remain the same.

After each official Pro Clubs match, you will earn XP points. The amount of XP points you are rewarded depends on your performance on the pitch.
