FIFA 22 is seemingly taking a page out of the EA Sports NHL playbook, as the development team announced via a Patch Notes article on August 4 that perks will be a new addition to Pro Clubs. Like with traits in the NHL franchise, perks can be added to your virtual character in Pro Clubs. Each perk has a unique description, and when equipped, can give you character added boosts.
