How much is Erling Haaland FIFA 22?
Right now, Erling Haaland‘s standard gold card is worth approximately 650,000-750,000 coins across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC Ultimate Team transfer markets. His current valuation puts him amongst the top 10 most expensive striker cards in FUT 22. Let‘s take an in-depth look at Haaland‘s skyrocketing value and dominance as one of the premier forwards in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
Erling Haaland: Football‘s Next Superstar
Even at just 21 years old, Erling Haaland has already cemented himself as one of the most lethal strikers in football. After initially bursting onto the scene in 2019 with Red Bull Salzburg, scoring 29 goals in 27 matches, Haaland earned a high-profile transfer to German club Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
His goalscoring exploits continued in the Bundesliga, where he bagged a staggering 85 goals across 88 appearances for Dortmund. According to OptaJoe, Haaland reached 25 Champions League goals faster than any player in history, doing so in just 20 games before his 21st birthday.
For Norway‘s national team, despite missing Euro 2020 through injury, Haaland maintains a ridiculous scoring rate, netting 18 goals in 19 caps at just 21 years old. In the 2021-22 season, Haaland recorded 41 goals and 8 assists in 41 matches across all club competitions.
His combination of blistering pace, clinical finishing ability, and brute strength has already evoked comparisons to legends like Ronaldo Nazario. It‘s these same elite attributes that make Haaland such a coveted player in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
Haaland‘s Key Attributes and Ratings
In FIFA 22, Haaland‘s meteoric rise and reputation as a goal machine is reflected by his 88 overall rating. Despite being only 21 years old, he already boasts stats that rival traditional striker icons of FUT:
- Pace: 87
- Shooting: 89
- Dribbling: 81
- Physicality: 88
With a 93 potential rating already, Haaland sits among the future star talents like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Valverde. Some of his key statistical attributes reflect his scoring prowess:
- Finishing – 93
- Positioning – 91
- Shot Power – 99
- Composure – 89
- Jumping – 95
His combination of height (6‘4"), strength, and leaping ability make him a dominant force in the air. He also possesses the 4* weak foot and lengthy player body type, making him more well-rounded.
According to FIFA 22 in-game metrics, Haaland ranks in the top 10 strikers for goals, assists, man of the match awards, and average match rating this cycle. His meta style fits perfectly into the current high pace, counter attacking meta of FUT 22.
Haaland‘s Rising Market Value Over Time
Since FIFA 22‘s full launch in late 2021, Haaland‘s valuation on Ultimate Team transfer markets has skyrocketed:
| Date | Xbox Value | PlayStation Value | PC Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 2021 | 150k-200k | 150k-200k | 150k-200k |
| November 2021 | 270k-350k | 300k-400k | 250k-350k |
| December 2021 | 400k-500k | 450k-550k | 380k-480k |
| January 2022 | 550k-650k | 600k-700k | 500k-600k |
| February 2022 | 650k-750k | 700k-800k | 600k-700k |
As expected, his price has risen consistently over time across all platforms. According to FUTBin‘s price index he‘s rated 98 for meta, 96 for links, and 95 for value. For Xbox, his price has almost quadrupled (up 279%) since release.
Comparing Haaland‘s Value to Other Big Names
To put Haaland‘s coin value into perspective, here is how he compares to some of the other major star cards in FUT 22:
- Kylian Mbappe (93) – 1.2-1.5 million coins
- Cristiano Ronaldo (91) – 450-600k coins
- Neymar Jr (92) – 900k-1.2 million coins
- Lionel Messi (93) – 1.8-2.5 million coins
- R9 Ronaldo (Prime Icon, 94) – 3.5-4 million coins
- Pele (Prime Icon, 98) – 5 million coins
Haaland‘s worth puts him on par with the likes of Neymar, above Ronaldo, but below true elites like Mbappe and Messi. His 88 rating among the current top 100 FUT players ranks him #15, ahead of Salah, Mane, and others.
Haaland‘s Special Player Items
Beyond his gold variation, several lucrative special card versions of Haaland have released:
- OTW (Ones to Watch) – 750,000 coins
- Rulebreakers – 1.3-1.5 million coins
- Headliners – 1.6-2 million coins
- Future Stars – 1.2-1.5 million coins
- WINTERtotgs (Team of the Group Stage) – 800k-1 million coins
- TOTY (Team of the Year) – 3.5-4 million coins
These limited time promo cards boast heavily upgraded stats and unique boosts. According to FUTBin, his Headliners card is rated 93 overall with 99 finishing and 98 shot power. Their high valuations and temporary availability make them extremely rare among the FUT community.
How to Obtain Haaland‘s Coveted Cards
There are several avenues to try and acquire Haaland cards in Ultimate Team:
- Packs – Testing your pack luck with coins or FIFA Points
- Transfer Market – Buying him or his special cards if you have sufficient coins
- SBCs – Completing rewarding Squad Building Challenges
- Objectives – Grinding objectives that offer tradeable/untradeable versions
- Draft – Getting him as a pick in Ultimate Team draft mode
With pack weight and odds exceedingly low, the transfer market remains the only reliable method to obtain Haaland and his rare special items. Having hundreds of thousands of coins on hand will be necessary to purchase him.
Popular SBCs that have offered Haaland card rewards include Marquee Matchups, Europa League, and various Best Of team releases. Limited time objectives like Season Progress also occasionally reward untradeable versions.
Utilizing Haaland In-Game
From personal experience using him in FUT Champions and Division Rivals, Haaland‘s in-game impact cannot be understated. Some tips for dominating with him:
- Play to his strengths – pace, shooting, heading ability
- Use fast build up play and through balls from your midfield
- Partner him with a fast striker or CAM
- Cross early and often to enable scoring headers
- Take long range finesse shots whenever possible
- Use Hawk chem style to maximize shooting and physicality
According to pros, Haaland completely changes the way you can attack. His presence as a striker opens up space for your winger and CAM make runs. With a Hunter chemistry style applied, his 96 sprint speed and 99 finishing make him nearly unstoppable on counter attacks.
Haaland‘s Potential in FIFA 23
With Erling Haaland‘s big money move to Premier League giants Manchester City confirmed, his ratings and popularity will likely hit new highs in FIFA 23. Given his partnership with playmakers like Kevin De Bruyne, he‘ll have even better chemistry links.
His Team of the Season version towards the end of FIFA 22 already boasted a 96 overall rating. I predict he‘ll be rated 90+ base overall in FIFA 23, with new era defining meta cards incoming. With his four star skill moves upgrade, he‘ll be even more complete.
I envision his inevitable early special cards like a Team of the Week or Champions card will be absolute top tier meta. His base gold card should retain elite value of over 1 million coins throughout the cycle. As Haaland enters his prime, investing in him early will pay major dividends in FUT 23.
Conclusion
A meteoric rise in real life has translated perfectly to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team for Erling Haaland. With elite finishing, physicality, and pace, he‘s arguably the most dominant pure striker in the current FUT meta. His market value has skyrocketed, exceeding 600,000 coins on all platforms currently.
Acquiring his rare special cards like TOTY and Headliners can run over 2 million coins, but provide near perfect striker play. While packing him is unlikely, focused transfer market bidding and buying strategies will be necessary to obtain Haaland in your club. As he cements his status among football‘s next generation, Haaland‘s popularity and viability in FIFA 23 looks set to continue ascending.
