Mesut Özil from Başakşehir received an 86-rated Winter Wildcards version in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team on Dec. 24. Players can get this holiday card by completing a squad-building challenge (SBC) in-game.
The holiday season in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is celebrated with the release of upgraded versions of selected players through the Winter Wildcards event.

You’ll need to build just two squads to get Winter Wildcards Özil. The 83-rated Squad segment asks for an 83-rated team as the title suggests, plus at least two cards with an overall rating of 84 points minimum. The Germany segment requires an 85-rated squad with no less than a German player.
The total for building both squads can get to around 49,350 to 49,500 FUT coins, depending on which platform you play on. Each segment will also reward you with a player pack, so you’ll earn a premium gold pack and a small gold players pack, too.
