The RTTK cards can reach a maximum of three levels, contingent upon the performance of their teams in European stage matches. As the promo features players from four distinct tournaments, each will have its own unique upgrade path.

UEFA Champions League & UEFA Europa League Upgrade Paths

+1 OVR Upgrade if their club secures three victories in their League Phase matches.
+1 OVR & Role ++ upgrade if their club scores at least 1 goal in 4 matches.
PlayStyle+ & Role ++ upgrade if their club finishes in the Top 2 of their respective competition’s league table.

UEFA Conference League Upgrade Paths

+1 OVR Upgrade if their club achieves two victories in their League Phase matches.
+1 OVR & Role ++ upgrade if their club scores at least 1 goal in 4 matches.
PlayStyle+ & Role ++ upgrade if their club finishes Top 2 in the league table.

UEFA Women’s Champions League Upgrade Paths

+1 OVR Upgrade if their club gains two victories in Group Stage matches.
+1 OVR & Role ++ upgrade if their club scores at least 1 goal in 4 matches.
PlayStyle+ & Role ++ upgrade if their club wins their Group Stage.

Some of the cards are expected to secure all three levels of upgrades in the near future, while others may achieve one or two levels. However, these upgrades depend solely on their team’s performance in the tournaments.

If you’re fortunate enough to obtain the top-tier items that are destined to advance through the tournament stages, the prices for those cards are likely to rise significantly. The initial team for the RTTK promo has already been released, featuring players like Jude Bellingham, Jeremie Frimpong, and Julian Alvarez. Securing these cards from packs or purchasing them off the market could be beneficial for your squad in the long run.
