FIFA 20: The FUT Changes That Actually Matter
Unsurprisingly, Ultimate Team is back for another year in FIFA 20, complete with its familiar addictive squad building, plethora of game modes and microtransactions - or “surprise mechanics” as they are now known. These aspects aren’t changing, for better or worse, but what actually IS new this year? Here are what we think are the biggest changes to FUT in FIFA 20.
Season Objectives
“A new sense of progression” is apparently crucial to FUT this year and key to that are the new Season Objectives. EA hope that these will have the same impact on the game mode that Squad Building challenges did when introduced in FIFA 17. Essentially these work similar to a battle pass system - you earn XP for completing challenges, which will move you up into higher levels, thus earning better rewards.

The Lion King Remake Beats Original at the Box Office With $1B
Disney's The Lion King roared past a huge box office milestone this week, as it officially crossed over the billion-dollar mark after less than three weeks in theatres.
The staggering box office performance of Jon Favreau's live-action remake has now also stampeded past the original 2D animated film to become the ultimate king of the charts, according to Collider. Plus it is the fourth Disney film to join the billion-dollar club this year.
Without adjusting for inflation, the 1994 classic finished its theatrical run with a worldwide gross of $968.5 million, including $422.8 million at the US box office, but the 2019 version managed to charge past the $1 billion threshold in just 19 days.

However, there seems to be a deeper significance to the post. Between Reynolds name-dropping "Phase 5" and including Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi in the photo collage, Reynolds clearly wants fans to assume that Deadpool will be joining the MCU in Phase 5.
