Madden 22 Ultimate Team: How to earn an 85 OVR team captain item

Whenever you are struggling on the football field it is so comforting to scan your lineup and know you have one playmaker that can flip the switch and just completely take over the game.

A captain could be the main difference between a predictable failure or an unfathomable victory and it is a constant search for gamers to find that piece for your team.

Fortunately, the Madden 22 release has brought us great additions to our lineups with one being a selection of one of this year's Team Captains that you can upgrade to really be a difference-maker.

Your newfound leader can become a 99 OVR asset over time

The first thing you have to do is head over to Madden Ultimate Team and make sure your team is ready to tackle some solo challenges.

You will have to complete The Campaign program from the preseason all the way until week 3, just after you will receive a Fantasy Pack that will allow you to select one of the following Team Captain player items:

• 85 OVR HB Shaun Alexander
• 85 OVR WR Lance Alworth
• 85 OVR LE Jack Youngblood
• 85 OVR SS John Lynch

Whichever you choose will definitely improve your team right away, just make sure that your selection goes aligned with your playstyle and the elements of your game you want to accent first.

Each of these players can be upgraded for only 5 training points all the way until an 89 OVR unlocking X-Factor and passive abilities along the way.

It is expected that later you will be able to continue to upgrade this item all the way until you get a 99 OVR playmaker.
