It's rare that EA Sports come out with a brand new promotion in Ultimate Team, usually, they opt to offer a fresh take on an old promotion that has been successful in past FIFA releases.
But that is not the case this week, as EA look set to release a promotion that centres solely around special Silver cards. It may sound odd, but there are some rather interesting methods behind the madness.
The likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Paul Pogba are set to be the headline acts of the Silver Stars Series, which is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing FIFA releases in recent years.
Here is everything we know about the promotion ahead of its release.
