MUT 22 Strategy Items

Every Strategy Item In Madden 22 Ultimate Team

Strategy Items can give your players much cherished attribute boosts like +1 speed, +1 throw power, or +1 MCV/ZCV. If you need a quick refresher on how MUT 22 strategy items work, you can check out our earlier post.

There are 3 tiers of strategy items: Common, Uncommon, and Rare. Rare offers the absolute best attribute boosts while common gives boosts to fairly basic attributes.

Common strategy items usually include +1 on 3 different attributes. Uncommon strategy items gives you a bonus +1 on a different ability and rare strategy items gives you 2 additional +1’s (usually to more important ratings).

Below is a list of every strategy item in Madden 22 Ultimate Team. Let us know in the comments which ones you think are best!

You can have +2 SPD with 2 In the Zone cards as long as the 2 last 2 attributes aren’t the same as the other.

The SPD stacking doesn’t work if they’re both (PUR+SPD), both (MCV+SPD), or both (TAK+SPD); but if you have a (PUR+SPD) and a (MCV+SPD) together (or any other 2 that aren’t the same) it works and you’ll get +2 SPD.

It works the same way for In The Zone as it does for The Island and Deep Route Specialist cards. Which is why it didn’t work for you. It doesn’t have to do with both cards being In the Zone, it’s because both In the Zone cards had the same stats.

Hello,
Does anyone know why my Let it Rip and Ball Hawk Rare strat cards are showing 5/6 players for the last boost each. Even though my roster is maxed out? Both cards are also fully upgraded as well…? ??

How is the program slot different from the office and defense slots
