Frequently Asked Questions

What are Fantasy FUT cards?

FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT cards are a Special item category assigned to a selection of players, replacing their regular cards at specific times.

These cards feature rating and stat updates and have the potential for further upgrades based on matches played, team wins, goals, assists and clean sheets in the remainder of the 2022/23 season.

How do Fantasy FUT items get upgraded?

Each player can get up to three upgrades, each one corresponding to a different achievement in their next five domestic league matches:

1. Play 3 matches;
2. Win 1 match;
3. Score or assist (midfielders and attacker);
4. Cleen Sheet (goalkeepers and defenders).

A scenario is fulfilled only if a player appears in the match. A player makes an appearance if they start or are substituted on in a match.

What counts as an assist?

Assist data is powered by Stats Perform. Assists are defined as the final touch leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.

What counts as a clean sheet?

A clean sheet is awarded to a defender or goalkeeper for not conceding a goal whilst on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes. If a player is substituted off when a goal is conceded they will still fulfill the clean sheet upgrade scenario, provided that they were substituted off before the goal was scored and they played at least 60 minutes during the match.

When does tracking for each player item start?

Fantasy FUT Upgrade Tracking will start from March 3. If a team plays on the same day as an item’s release, it will only count if the domestic league match kicks off after the item is released into the game.

What matches count for Fantasy FUT tracking?

Only domestic league matches are eligible for Fantasy FUT upgrade qualification. As mentioned, the first domestic league match tracked has to kick off after the item is released.

How long they take to upgrade?

After a Fantasy FUT player fulfills their upgrade requirement scenario, the earliest the corresponding player item will be updated is on the following Wednesday.

What happens if a player transfers?

If a player is no longer on the roster of the club their item is released for, they will no longer be eligible to receive any future additional upgrades.

How can I get one of these cards?

You can get a FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT item in the same way as any other card: in packs or on the transfer market. If you want to try your luck on packs, you can go to the store and buy them with coins or FIFA Points. They can be found in any pack with players’ cards, including free packs. Finding one of these cards is higher if you open a pack containing more player cards.

Completing specific SBCs and objectives may also reward you with a Fantasy FUT item.

HOW IS CHOSEN THE TOTW OF FC 24

The TOTW is chosen with base on many factors, like league, goals scored, assists, match results and other stats.

The Team of the Week

Since FUT 10, every Wednesday, EA Sports selects a group of players of any category that have played well the previous week in real-life and join them in a single team. These cards are released as In Form for that week only and feature boosted stats. In the week a player gets his TOTW card in packs, it is impossible to find his regular card there. The TOTW players from the starting eleven also have their card art altered, with default images being replaced by special dynamic ones.

Except in rare cases, the TOTWs are released non-stop for a year, from September. All matches from the domestic leagues licensed in the game will likely result in a TOTW item. On the dates scheduled by FIFA for international qualifier matches, domestic leagues stop, and players can form TOTW from these matches (friendlies are not taken into account).

Most matches are played on the weekend, but no games are excluded just because they take place on a different day (yes, Monday or mid-week games can also receive these IFs). Players that stand out on a Tuesday or later days are candidates for the following week’s TOTW. When there are not many matches to be played, as, in July, the batch of selected players can be shortened to eighteen instead of the usual twenty-three.

Many people do not know how TOTW players of FC 24 Ultimate Team are chosen. That is why we have decided to release this guide clarifying how this is done.

How is Chosen

TOTW items are announced and released (almost) every Wednesday at 6pm (UK time). However, they begin to come to life much earlier.

Although EA does not reveal anything about TOTW backstage, the truth is that a few years ago, a game developer uncovered in an interview that his team met every Monday morning to make a first plan of what would be the team of the week. For this, and according to producer Niels Diekmann, they have the precious help of the weekly reports produced by an EA’s department based in Cologne (Germany): the FC Data Collection and Licensing Group.

As soon as the list of players is closed, it goes through several other departments until they reach the official social networks where they are announced: licenses, brand, QA testing, design, strategic partners, and marketing.

With the increasing importance of the TOTWs, more and more people try to predict the official choices. If you also want to do it, you should know the criteria EA uses to select the new cards:

• Goals Scored;
• Assists;
• Distribution by Positions;
• Match Results;
• Team’s and Player’s Popularity;
• Previous TOTW Items;
• Distribution by Rating;
• League;
• Opponent’s Difficulty;
• Conceded Goals;
• Saved Penalties;
• Saves;
• Stats and Score;
• Man of the Match;
• Minutes Played;
• Bookings;
• Rivalry;
• Other Restrictions.

Factors List

Let’s see one by one what affects the EA’s decision.

• Goals Scored
  This is the number one factor when deciding who enters the team of the week. After all, goals are the most important thing in football. Defenders that score more than one goal in a single match are almost guaranteed. On the other hand, the strikers may need more than one goal. Regardless of the player’s position, three or more goals are almost always a passport to the TOTW.


• Assists
  Except for goalkeepers, it is not common to see players who have not made any assists or scored a goal on the TOTW. The importance of assists is such that they are often analyzed together with goals in a single criterion (G & A).


• Distribution by Position
  Players playing in the same positions compete with each other for a limited number of spots. EA has set a minimum and a maximum amount of players for each position:
  – 2 to 3 goalkeepers (two in 80% of the time)
  – 4 to 6 defenders, regardless of whether they are full-backs or central-backs (five in 70% of the times)
  – 7 to 12 midfielders, regardless of whether they are wingers or central-midfielders (nine to eleven in 60% of the times)
  – 5 to 8 forwards, regardless of whether they are center-forwards or strikers (six to seven in 60% of the time).


• Match Results
  The better the result, the more chances a player has to be named to the team of the week. However, a draw does not leave him out. This happens mainly to players of inferior teams that manage to surprise the most popular ones.


• Team’s and Player’s Popularity
  The popularity of players and teams is increasingly taken into account. After all, the community likes to see in the TOTW the players they follow and not mere strangers. Sometimes, this popularity is not related to the biggest clubs or the best players but to the cards highly valued by the FUT community, such as the fastest or most OP in a particular edition.


• Previous TOTW Items
  When assigning a new TOTW card, EA always checks the amount of IF cards a player eventually already has and when he has received the latest card. If he has been awarded many times with these cards, priority will likely be given to other players. Also, if he has already received it two weeks before, most likely, he will have to wait for another time. And yes, it already happened for a player to be selected in two consecutive TOTWs, but it is extremely rare.


• Distribution by Rating
  EA tries to build teams as balanced as possible. Generally, the rating distribution of TOTW players follows these ranges:
  – five to eight 85+ rated cards;
  – ten to fourteen 80-84 rated cards;
  – three to five 75-79 rated cards;
  – up to two bronze or silver cards.


• League
  Everyone knows that the players from the most popular leagues are picked more often for the team of the week. This is the case for those who play in the Premier League, responsible for filling around 20% of the slots, even when the athletes are playing by their national teams. Serie A, LaLiga, and Bundesliga compete against each other to see which is the second league more represented in the TOTW, with around 12% each, while Ligue 1 stands at 8%. Still, there are always several leagues represented every week.


• Opponent’s Difficulty
  To be decisive in a win over Manchester City or Crystal Palace is different. This is also reflected in EA’s choices. The greater the achievement, the more chances a player has to receive a TOTW item.


• Conceded Goals
  This one also applies to defenders, but is more important for goalkeepers. A player in this position who has conceded goals will hardly be part of EA’s choices. If he scored an own-goal, chances are virtually zero.


• Saved Penalties
  Nothing gives more visibility to a goalkeeper than saving a penalty. Those who achieve this and do not concede any goal are strong candidates for the Team of the Week.


• Saves
  Do not concede any goal, save a penalty, and make many saves. In this order, these are the main criteria used for selecting goalkeepers. Has anyone got all three? Jackpot!


• Stats and Score
  The specialized press and statistical sites, such as Whoscored, are also taken into account when EA is choosing the TOTW players. Whoever reaches a score of 10 does not have his spot guaranteed but gets closer to getting it.


• Man of the Match
  Moving slowly to the bottom of this list, it’s time to know the least important factors. Although with little relevance, it seems that, in some cases, EA uses the prizes awarded by domestic leagues to refine their choices.


• Minutes Played
  A player who gets in at ten minutes of the end must be brilliant (and decisive!) to convince EA. On the other hand, leaving the match earlier, few or no implications will have to the TOTW selections.


• Bookings
  A player has already been sent off and still made part of EA’s choices. However, this is very rare. The yellow cards do not have any influence.


• Rivalry
  In addition to the opponent’s difficulty, EA also considers the rivalry between two teams on a much smaller scale. A player who decides a match in favor of his team against the main rival always gains more visibility.


• Other Restrictions
  More than a game, FC 24 Ultimate Team is a business. And like all big business, everything has to be planned in detail. The common player has yet to learn the many situations that must be planned daily to the point where they can condition the players selected to the TOTW. Hence, there are choices that we will never understand because they were forced to happen in the interests of the game’s producer and its strategic partners.

FC 24 PACK NAMES

FUT 24 pack names follow a certain logic order.

FUT Pack Names

Have you ever looked at FUT 24 pack names and thought, ‘well, this is confusing’? Of course, you have, we’ve all been there.

It’s easy to get lost in long names that often seem alike. After all, there are more than 300 packs in the game, and there’s always something like Mixed, Premium, Prime, or Electrum in the name. But what the hell do these things mean?

As if more were needed, EA continues to grow the family, and it’s getting harder and harder for anyone to recall what each pack includes. You can always visit our packs database, but wouldn’t it be nice to know the reason behind each one of the names? Keep reading, and you’ll realize FUT 24 pack names are not as complex as they seem.

Comprehending Pack Names

There are so many terms that it is normal to be confused about, but the truth is that the FUT 24 pack names follow a particular logical order. Let’s start with the obvious: all terms end in ‘pack’. We don’t even need to mention this, but perhaps it will help you to open your eyes and look for other patterns.

Let’s make your job easier and tell you how any FUT pack name is composed. They can have up to four words preceding the ‘pack’, corresponding to four different categories, arranged in a specific order, which we will analyze below:

1. Pack Size;
2. Quantity of Rare Items
3. Quality of Items;
4. Category of Items.

Pack Size

By definition, a basic pack consists of 12 items. And there’s a reason for that. Besides being a good amount of cards, 12 is divisible by many numbers (2, 3, 4, 6). It is essential since new types of packs will eventually be created, and the total amount of items and / or rare ones available in them can be calculated using fractions of 12.

Generally, relative to the size/amount of cards inside, the packs can be classified as:

Normal 12
Pack that consists of twelve items, the standard amount.
In these situations, the pack’s name carries no information relative to size, which means that this first category is omitted.
Examples: Gold Players Pack, Consumables Pack, Premium Electrum Players Pack.

Mini 4
Pack that consists of four items, one-third of the standard amount.
Examples: 86+ Star Player Mini Pack.

Small 6
Pack that consists of six cards, half the normal amount.
In these situations, the pack’s name always starts with ‘Small’.
Examples: Small Rare Gold Players Pack, Small Prime Silver Players Pack, Small Gold Pack.

Jumbo 24
Pack that consists of twenty-four items, double the standard amount. In these situations, the pack’s name always starts with ‘Jumbo’. Examples: Jumbo Gold Players Pack, Jumbo Silver Pack, Jumbo Rare Players Pack.

Mega or Ultimate 30
Pack that consists of thirty items. It’s one of the biggest FUT packs.
Examples: Ultimate Pack, Mega Pack, Rare Mega Pack.

Every rule has an exception, and that also happens with pack sizes. Although they seem rare, there are packs with 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, and 26 cards inside. Don’t worry because most of them are very easy to identify since they’ll always carry some reference of the number of cards inside the name: Two Rare Gold Players Pack, Gold 13 Pack, or Jumbo Premium Gold 26 Pack are a few examples.

Quantity of Rare Items

By definition, a basic pack consists of only one rare card. However, this number may be higher in some cases, and some packs will consist exclusively of rare players (the most expensive ones, of course).

Generally, relative to the number of rare cards inside, the packs can be classified as:

Normal 1
The amount of rare items inside depends on the pack’s size: one for normal or small packs; three for jumbo packs.
In these situations, the pack’s name carries no information relative to the number of rare cards inside, which means that this second category is omitted.
Examples: Bronze Pack, Gold Players Pack, Small Silver Players Pack.

Premium 1/3
The amount of rare items inside still depends on the pack’s size: three for normal packs; seven for jumbo packs.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Premium’. Packs from special offers may also use the term ‘Premium’ to refer to something of higher quality, like Premium Loan Player Packs or Premium Coins Packs. Examples: Premium Gold Pack, Jumbo Premium Gold Pack, Premium Mixed Players Pack.

Prime 1/2
The number of rare items inside equals half the pack’s the size/total number of cards.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Prime’.
Examples: Prime Silver Players Pack, Small Prime Gold Players Pack, Prime Electrum Players Pack.

Rare all
The number of rare items inside equals the pack’s the size/total number of cards, which means that all items are rare. In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Rare’. Examples: Rare Silver Pack, Rare Players Pack, Small Rare Mixed Players Pack

As you’ve noticed, a pack will never have more than one name of the same category. That’s why you’ll never see packs called Rare Premium or Prime Rare-something, for example.

If you’re an observant player, you’ve also noticed there aren’t any Small Premium ones. The reason is simple: they’re the same as the Small Prime ones. Haven’t you seen it? Let’s think: if a Premium Pack has 12 cards and 3 are rare, a Small Premium one would have the same number of rare cards with just six in the total. Since Prime Packs are known for having 50% of rare cards, there are three rare ones already.

Quality of Items

All FC 24 cards are associated with one quality: gold, silver, and bronze. The packs are also classified according to the quality of the players inside. Also, the packs can receive another specific name if there are more than one quality item inside.

Generally, relative to the quality of the cards inside, the packs can be classified as:

Gold all
Pack that consists exclusively of gold items.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Gold’.
Examples: Gold Pack, Gold Contracts Pack, Premium Gold Players Pack.

Silver all
Pack that consists exclusively of silver items.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Silver’.
Examples: Silver Pack, Silver Gift Pack, Small Silver Silver Pack.

Bronze all
Pack that consists exclusively of bronze items.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Bronze’.
Examples: Bronze Pack, Bronze Players Pack, Rare Bronze Players Pack.

Mixed 1/3
Pack that has items of all qualities divided equally.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Mixed’.
Examples: Mixed Players Pack, Rare Mixed Players Pack, Premium Mixed Players Pack.

Electrum 1/3
Pack that has gold and silver items divided equally. There are no bronze items.
In these situations, the name of the pack always includes the term ‘Electrum’.
Examples: Small Electrum Players Pack, Small Rare Electrum Players Pack, Prime Electrum Players Pack.

Different from the other categories, there must always be a reference to quality in the pack’s name.

Category of Items

There are five types of items in FC 24 Ultimate Team: players, staff, consumables, vanity, and club items. Some packs are classified according to the category of cards inside.

Generally, relative to the types of items inside, the packs can be classified as:

Normal all
Pack that consists of a mixture of all categories.
In these situations, the pack’s name carries no information relative to the types of cards inside. Therefore this fourth pack category is omitted.
Examples: Gold Pack, Gold Contracts Pack, Premium Gold Players Pack.

Players 1
Pack that consists exclusively of player items.
In these situations, the name of the pack always includes the term ‘Players’.
Examples: Silver Players Pack, Small Mixed Players Pack, and Rare Players Pack.

Consumables 1
Pack that consists exclusively of consumable items, including contracts and healing cards. Some packs consist exclusively of contracts.
In the first situation, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Consumables’. In the second situation, it always includes the term ‘Contracts’.
Examples: Gold Contracts Pack, Consumables Pack, Mixed Contracts Pack.

As you can see, there are only three groups. No packs consist exclusively of staff, vanity, or club items.

Extra Categories

In some specific situations, packs can be launched with slight variations. Other terms are used to identify the content of a FUT pack better. These are the most common ones:

Leagues
Pack which all items are from players of a specific league.
Examples: Bundesliga Premium Players Pack, LaLiga Prime Players Pack, Serie A Three Players Pack.

Positions
Pack which all items are from players of a specific position.
Examples: Prime Gold Defenders Pack, Rare Gold Midfielders Pack, Rare Gold Forwards Pack.

Attributes
Pack that guarantees a specific rating for a specific face stat.
Examples: 82+ Passing Player Pack, 82+ Dribbling Player Pack, 82+ Pace Player Pack.

Rating
Pack in which at least one player item has to be from a specific overall rating range: only one if the name includes ‘Star’; two, if the name contains ‘Star Duo’; three, if the name contains ‘Star Trio’; all, in the other cases.
Examples: 82+ Rated Rare Player Pack, 85+ Star Rare Player Pack, 86+ Star Trio Players Pack.

Loan
Pack that consists exclusively of loan player items.
Examples: OTW Loan Player Pack, Loan LaLiga TOTS Pack, Loan Players Pack.

Untradeable
Pack that consists exclusively of untradeable items.
Examples: Untradeable 86+ Star Player Mini Pack, Untradeable Rare Players Pack, Untradeable Ultimate Pack.

Special
Pack in which at least one player item must be IF or special from a specific event.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is composed a FUT pack name?

In most cases, a FUT 24 pack name follows a logical order of four categories: pack size, quantity, quality, and category items.

Can you give me examples?

Sure. Let’s start with the Small Prime Electrum Players Pack. The four categories we’ve talked about are being used here in the correct order. First, we have the size: Small, which means it has six items. Prime indicates that half of them are rare; so it has three rare items and three regular ones. Electrum means there will be gold and silver items, three of each. Finally, the term Players makes it a valuable pack because it’s exclusively made of players. Immediately a seemingly complicated name turns into something you can easily visualize: six players, half rare, three gold ones, and three silver ones.

Let’s take a look at another example: the Rare Gold Pack. As you can see, the size (the first category) isn’t mentioned here. Therefore it’s a standard-size pack of 12 items. In addition, the terms Gold and Rare indicate that all cards will be rare and gold. However, there’s no reference to the type of items inside (the fourth category). That means the twelve rare items inside will include players, staff, consumables, stadium, and vanity items.

FIFA U Team Website

Like any other game, this one has its own rules. They were created to make sure everyone gets a fair and fun experience. You should know and follow these ten FC 24 rules to ensure you won’t get any penalty.

Ten FC 24 Rules

When someone starts playing FC 24, they are requested to accept the user agreement terms. The problem is that 99.9% of the players never read the terms and have yet to learn what it’s about. If you don’t want to break FC 24 rules, you should know them. We list on this page the ten most important.

Don’t cheat in-game
Cheating can include, but isn’t limited to, using external tools, performing in-game exploits, abusing glitches or bugs, performing, using, buying, or selling match collusion, matchmaking manipulation, or win manipulation services. In-game cheating is not fair play and hurts the experience of the players you are playing against.

Don’t make false claims
Making a false claim to EA Advisors or any other EA representative is against FC 24 rules. Breaking the rules makes it hard to provide a fun, safe, and secure environment for you and all players.

Don’t hack other players’ accounts
It might seem like a no-brainer, but accessing another player’s account is totally and completely against the FC 24 rules.

Don’t connect to EA Servers using anything unofficial
You can only access FC 24 and Football Club servers using an official version of EA SPORTS FIFA, bought from EA or an authorized retailer. You must also use an unmodified platform or the official FUT Web and FUT Companion Apps to avoid breaking the rules. When you use third-party apps and browser extensions, your login info can be visible to third parties, and someone could use that info to take over your account.

Don’t distribute Coins
Coin distribution inflates the FIFA economy. That means disrupting the safe buying and selling environment that legitimate players are trying to use to get the players they need for their Ultimate Team. You are not allowed to use the FUT Transfer Market to transfer Coins to another player, have multiple accounts, funnel FUT Coins and Items into your main account, and make giveaways.

Don’t buy coins or promote coin buying
Buying and selling FUT coins helps create an uneven playing field because, among other things, it can result in an unfair increase in the prices of items on the Transfer Market. Also, if you buy coins, you’re at risk of having your account information stolen by safe.

Don’t promote Coin buying and selling
Promoting the sale or purchase of FUT coins anywhere within the game or forums breaks FC 24 rules because it hurts the experience for other players.

Don’t use auto-buyers
If you use any sort of in-game bots, like auto-buyers, so that you can earn Coins fast and illegitimately, that’s breaking the rules. Making transactions outside of in-game, the Companion App, or the Web App or playing in an unauthorized way that gives you an unfair advantage hurts the experience for you and other players.

Don’t farm Coins
Coin farming is when you get Coins fast and illegitimately, either by using bots in the FUT Transfer Market or by tricking the game into thinking you’re playing matches when you aren’t. That’s cool when you store a lot of Coins in your account, as long as you’re earning those FUT coins right in-game. Using any bot or disconnection methods in-game that’s breaking the rules.

Stop Toxic Behaviour
FC 24 is a place for you to express yourself and your individuality. But it’s not just your space; it’s everyone. Keep toxicity out of it. Harassing, bullying, threatening, offending, or harmful behavior toward others is unacceptable. Ever. If you see any toxic behaviour, report it.

Follow the Law, wherever you are
These days you can plug in and play almost everywhere, and that’s exciting. To ensure everyone feels safe, you must follow the local laws when playing our games. This not only includes keeping things legal but reporting anything you see that breaks the law or promotes doing so.

FC 24 Sanctions

As with any other rule, there are sanctions for those who break it. These actions are applied to your EA Account used to play FIFA, so some of these actions may affect your experience on multiple gaming platforms using the same EA Account. These are the actions that can be taken against you if you break the FC 24 rules:

• Remove your account from the Leaderboards;
• Remove your FUT Coins;
• Delete your FUT Club;
• Temporarily or permanently ban your account from FIFA online play;
• Ban your account from your current FIFA game;
• Ban your account from all FIFA games;
• Ban you from all EA games;
• Suspend your console from playing FIFA online modes for a while;
• Restrict your access to the FUT Transfer Market;
• Restrict your access or in-game privileges in other ways.

FIFA U Team Website

If Football Club is as important to you as it is to us, you should stop and take 5 minutes to protect your FC 24 account. We explain in this article how you can keep your progress safe and avoid falling on some of the scams cheaters use to steal information.

How to Keep your FC 24 Account Safe

To help reduce your chance of being phished, follow these rules:

• Always double-check the sign-in URL starts with https://www.ea.com;
• Always make sure the URL does not redirect to another site;
• Never give out your information through the forums or your console;
• Never click links in emails asking for account information or claiming your account has been compromised.

EA will never ask you for your login information. There are no exceptions to this rule. Even if you receive an email that looks like it’s coming from EA, if it asks for your account information, it’s a scam.

How to Avoid Scammers

Many people are trying to scam Football Club players to steal their accounts. If you know the methods they use, you can easily avoid them.

Fake Emails and Copycat Websites

You receive an email that appears to be from EA concerning an Ultimate Team promotion. You click on the link in the email, go to what appears to be the Ultimate Team login page, and enter your account name and password. Two days later, you discover that all your players have disappeared. Sound familiar? Hopefully not, as the person above was just phished. Phishing is a way of tricking someone into giving up valuable information (like your account name and password) by landing on a fake website and entering your account details. As the majority of phishing websites look identical to the real thing, most users don’t even realize they’ve been phished until it’s too late.

While the site below may look identical to the official one, it isn’t. How to spot the difference? The URL. The official EA website uses the following URL: https://www.ea.com/. Any other similar-looking URL is not official and should not be clicked on.

Redirecting

Redirecting is a technique where a scammer embeds something in a link that takes you to the real site to begin with but then moves you to a fake page that looks identical. There are many examples of this, but one simple thing to look out for in your address bar would be: https://www.ea.com/redirect?url=https://fakesite.com

Note the ‘redirect?’ part of the URL. This means you won’t go to the official EA website. EA will never redirect you from https://www.ea.com/ to another site.

Scare Tactics

Another common tactic involves scaring you into thinking your account has been compromised when it hasn’t. You may receive a message like: ‘Your account has been temporarily suspended due to suspicious activity. Please log in here to see more information.’ This is another attempt to get you to give up your username and password. As always, the result directs you to a fake site, not to https://www.easports.com/fifa.

EA will never send you emails claiming your account has been compromised. EA will never contact you via ANY means asking for this information.

Direct Contacts

If you ever receive a private message in forums or your console’s online messaging system, you should know it’s fake. Scammers will use legitimate names, such as ‘EA Admin’ or ‘EASFC Developer.’ Again, EA will never ask you for your account info and will never contact you through your console’s messaging system for any reason. Report the message to the forum moderators or use the built-in report tool.

Fake Web App

Shared Squad links are being used to try to phish information. Remember: you don’t need to be logged into your EA account to view a Shared Squad. Anyone can view them, and like every other official link, they always start with https://www.ea.com. If you’re trying to view a Shared Squad and you are being redirected to a sign page, don’t proceed any further.

Additional Security Steps

Extra to the steps listed above, here are some additional precautions you can take to ensure your information is protected.

Preview Links

Before you click on a link, preview where it is taking you by hovering over it with your mouse cursor. Usually, the link location will be displayed at the bottom of your browser window.

Auto-Fill Passwords

Set your browser to remember your password for EA sites. This way, it will auto-fill the login form every time you visit the site. If you unknowingly go to a phishing site, the username and password will not be filled in, so you will know it’s a fake. Be sure only to do this on your home computer.

Create Strong Passwords

While not directly related to phishing, updating and maintaining your passwords is an important part of online security. Use the following suggestions to help develop a password that is harder to guess: use different passwords for your EA account, console login, and email; change your passwords often; do not use any information in your password that could easily be obtained; delete any emails that contain password information.

Avoid Public Computers

If you log in from a public computer, such as at a school or a coffee shop, double-check that the browser isn’t saving your login information. Be sure to delete the browser cache after you logout as well.

Use Browser Tools

Many major browsers have built-in phishing filters. Ensure that they are enabled. You can also check a website’s security by using this Google diagnostic: https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=easports.com.

Turn On Login Verification

EA Login Verification helps keep your FC 24 account safe by adding a second layer of protection. When enabled, EA sends you a code to make sure it’s you trying to log in to your EA Account from a new device.

Double-check your Emails

If you receive a phishing email message, don’t panic. Your FC 24 account has not been compromised. The only information is your email address, which is easy to find. Scammers duplicate the images and text from an official EA email like they copy websites. If you receive a suspicious-looking email, check who the sender is and where the links in the email are taking you. Some things to look out for with phishing emails:
– Names are easy to obtain, and phishers will almost always use these in emails.
– Other web links or elements in the email will take you to the actual site, but the ‘click here or ‘login’ link will always be to a fake site.
– When clicking on web links in emails, be sure it directs you to the same place they advertise.
– The only time EA will contact you through email about your account is if you have forgotten your password and you make a request to have it changed.

FC 24 HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST PLAYERS

When choosing the best players for your FUT 24 squad, you need to have in mind several factors, like chemistry, attributes and price.

Picking the Best Players

Ultimate Team differs from the other game modes by allowing each of us to build a preferred dream team. One that we’re identified with, that we feel like it’s ours. What makes this such a unique thing is the fact that we all have different tastes.

For us to build our team, it doesn’t matter if we know who the best players are or not because this matter is entirely subjective. Knowing which players will fit better in our playing style, formation, budget, and squad matters. This isn’t always an easy task. After all, new players’ cards keep coming along through the season, but we’ll give you all the tools needed to build better. Find out who’s your team in FC 24 Ultimate Team.

In our opinion, you should pick your players based on the following four criteria:

• Chemistry;
• Attributes;
• More Characteristics;
• Price.

Attributes

Let’s start by clarifying one thing: players are no more than numbers. Although Electronic Arts works hard to make us believe the players have unique identities, here’s the truth: they’re mere numbers and should be analyzed. We know this isn’t easy to accept for people who have experienced unique moments that once connected them emotionally to the players. Deep down, it’s good to believe they’re something more than numbers, but sadly, doing that is just avoiding the truth.

The player’s physique isn’t what affects his performance, not his traits or specialties (many of them don’t exist on Ultimate Team) either. It’s all on the attributes. They’re responsible for making us feel like each player is different. And they’re the ones you should carefully analyze when planning your squad. Many times, one player’s perception changes according to the game’s difficulty, formation, or for dozens of other reasons. Still, attributes are the most accurate element to compare players.

For pure laziness or lack of knowledge, many people make the terrible mistake of evaluating one player’s quality according to his overall rating. It just shows how popular and good in specific attributes a player is, making them be compared to others. The rating is NOT an average or reflex of all the attributes. It reveals nothing about the player’s true technical, mental, and physical attributes. Sometimes, FC 24 players with lower ratings can be better choices.

In FC 24 Ultimate Team, more than 30 attributes can only be viewed in-game, in the active squad & squad management menu, or in a database. You’re the only one who knows for sure about the attributes your players need because that’s according to your playing style. If, for example, you like to cross abuse, it’s preferred for you to have wingers with good crossing attributes and strikers with a good heading. On the other hand, if you like playing on counterattacks, you need to have fast attackers and midfielders with good passing. All this is very intuitive: you need to look at your squad line and think about what you want to do with it. If you’re still having a hard time, we’ll help you.

As we said, the player choice should be based on his attributes. Since they’re so many when we play, we get the feeling that it’s not possible to choose them only by calling the numbers. However, we forget that the numbers are much more accurate than our playing experience, which is corrupted by many factors: our inspiration, the opponent’s quality, changes in our team, several events during the game, etc… We’re not saying you shouldn’t choose players basing yourself on the experience you’ve had with them, but you should form an opinion only after a minimum number of 10 to 15 matches. Besides, most of the time, we can’t experiment with all the players we want to come up with the best team, so a good analysis of the players’ attributes first will surely be of great use.

But how is this analysis made? First of all, it’s important to know what each attribute means. Then, it’s also important to realize that the players with the highest attributes are not necessarily the best. Our interest here is to find the right players for our squad, which is done once we identify the characteristics they should have according to what we can afford. Imagine, for example, that you’re looking for a center-back to play between two other center-backs whose main role is to defend. The main characteristics he should have are tackles, Interception, Marking, Jumping, Strength, and Heading Acc. To find the ideal player, you’d have to find the one with the highest sum of these attributes. It would be good to have the other attributes high, but these are the ones you should focus on for this example.

However, things aren’t so simple as this (you already find it complicated?). It’s just that among these attributes, some are more important than others, and you should pay attention to this. It would help if you gave weights for each one of the attributes so that you can find a weighted average to reflect the perfection of the player you’re looking for. For this example, you could define Tackle worth 35%, Interception as 10%, Marking 20%, Jumping 15%, Strength 15%, and Heading Acc just 5%.

Even more rigorously, you could create a formula based on your playing style and formation, featuring coefficients that would reflect the importance of the other attributes, work rates, star skills, and weak foot. The ideal thing would be to create one weight for each attribute to get an absolute final value that wouldn’t depend on anything else. However, besides this being way too painful, making all these weights up would be hard for people who don’t flawlessly dominate the game. This is why there are other more straightforward strategies in order to determine how good a player is for our squad, and still, that would allow us to come to sufficiently good conclusions.

For people that want to keep things as simple as possible, we recommend them to analyze the basic attributes instead of the IG attributes. This is their role; this is how most people select their players. The basic attributes are the six face stats shown on the player’s card: pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending, and physicality. They’re no more than an average among the In-Game attributes.

To choose a player, you should focus on the essential attributes and casually on one or other IG attribute that you think is crucial for the situation. For example, continuing the case we presented above with the center back, all IG stats could be substituted by only one, defending, which doesn’t only reflect all these attributes but also weighs each one’s importance for the final stat. So you’d need to put that analysis along with strength, which isn’t included for defending, but physicality. For that reason, we must know what each of the six basic attributes corresponds to. Only this way, we’ll be able to simplify everything, reducing our analysis to these attributes and then taking a peek at the IG stats we consider essential. This knowledge also gives us the possibility to adjust the weights according to our preferences.

In general, these are the attributes we value most according to the positions:

• GK
  Reflexes, and Diving
• CB
  Defending, Physicality, and Pace for at least one of the center backs
• RB/LB
  Defending, Pace, and eventually Dribbling for RWBs and LWBs
  
• CDM
  Defending, Passing and Physicality
• CM/CAM
  Passing and Dribbling
• Wingers
  Pace, Dribbling, and Passing
• CF/ST
  Shooting, Physicality and Pace

All this hassle of finding the ideal players for our squad may look a bit complex since there are so many attributes to consider. However, it goes downhill when it comes to choosing a goalkeeper. They’ve got only six basic attributes. They don’t have IG stats, skill moves, or work rates. Nothing. Your formation and playing style do not influence this choice either. Seven numbers form them (yes, besides the attributes, there’s their height!). This is what makes goalkeepers seem different from each other.

You can surrender yourself from giving attention to feedback saying this is or that goalkeeper concedes quickly frequently. This is no good. You’ve seen two or three people complaining about that goalkeeper, but if you look closely, you’ll find more people saying the opposite. The only way you know if a goalkeeper is good or not is through his stats. In our opinion, the descending order of the importance of goalkeeper attributes is reflexes, diving, handling, positioning, speed, and kicking. It’s up to you to weigh them. Suppose you’re defensively passive when the opponent is roaming through the surroundings of your area. In that case, you should also give special attention to your goalkeeper’s height because when they’re shorter, the probability of a finesse strike going in is higher.

Chemistry

It’s unavoidable. When we want to start a squad from scratch, the first criteria for selecting the players is always chemistry. It forces us to plan how we spend the coins with antecedence and makes us base it all on one league or nationality. If you have the experience, you might as well choose to build a hybrid squad, but you’ll always be subject to the laws of Chemistry.

For people who don’t know, chemistry affects a player’s performance on the pitch. A player with low chemistry tends, for example, to fail at passing and shooting more easily. To build good chemistry, besides having your players play in their preferred position, they need to match the club, league, or nationality of other players. The easiest way is to create teams full of players exclusively from one league or of one nationality.

You’ll be conditioned to the players’ positions when you build a squad. You must choose 18 players, and at least one should be a goalkeeper. Then, if you don’t want chemistry negatively affected, you’ll have to buy players for the positions you need, according to your formation.

The question here is how far you can go and disrespect the chemistry. Most people will respect chemistry rigorously, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be like this. We advise you not to use a player with chemistry below 2, but it depends on the alternative. As long as he plays in one of his primary or secondary positions, he may be a better option if the choice is a player much worse with full chemistry.

More Characteristics

Using a simple spreadsheet program, you’ll be able to find the perfect player for your squad. You need to select the most essential attributes and give each one a weight. But then, what if some of the player’s characteristics weren’t measurable? That would be complicated. The truth is that, besides the attributes, you should also watch out for the five characteristics that define them:

• Height
  Although it isn’t decisive, you should pay attention to the player’s height, especially if he’s a striker, a center-back, or a goalkeeper. However, it’s also useful for the CDM position. A taller player that has good jumping will win more headers.


• Preferred Foot
  Carefully verify if you’re using your players correctly for their position on the field. Sometimes you should change their side to favor their preferred foot.


• Weak Foot
  This type of characteristic should be decisive when choosing one between two players or more. It’s more important for the player to have good attributes than weak foot stars, but that’s still interesting for us. If you’re thinking of buying a finisher, don’t forget to check if he’s got a good weak foot. You’ll certainly notice the difference in the pitch between a player with a low and high weak foot.


• Skill Moves
  Players with more skill move stars will get past the opponents more easily. They can also execute more complex technical movements, although this might be more of a show-off than an actual contribution to the team. Most three stars skill moves are as effective as (or more than) 5 stars’ skill moves. Like it is for the Weak Foot, the Skills Moves should determine which player you choose unless you’re a natural skiller who doesn’t need the means to succeed.


• Work Rates
  Unlike the others, this is for us, with absolutely no doubt, a characteristic that you should never look away from when choosing a player. This isn’t where you should start the player selection, do this at the point where you already have a shortlist, so this works as an influential eliminatory factor. Avoid low/low work rates or high/high on players of low stamina. Low offensive work rates on attackers or defensive work rates on defenders are usually bad choices. According to your tactic, playing style, and the players you already have, you should manage work rates for one to compensate for the other. For example, two centre-backs with low defending work rates are unacceptable, but it’s okay to have just one.

Price

Well then, shouldn’t this be one of the first criteria? Good question, but we’re already counting that you left Pelé out because you know you don’t have enough coins for him. What we’re going to do now is the opposite. Instead of choosing the cheapest players, we’ll choose the most expensive ones. Are you confused? We’ll explain.

By this part of the article, we suppose you already have a pretty good idea of who you want for your squad. In the worst scenario, you’re striving to choose one between two players. Which one should you choose? You probably have a favorite, but you need the final word. Something that will help you decide at a bigger consciousness. Have you searched for someone else’s opinion of experience, hoping to know if he’s really what you’re looking for? That’s no good. This isn’t the right thing to do.

We have nothing against other people’s opinions, but basing your choice on two or three opinions is letting someone else decide for you. You have to ask for thousands or millions of people’s opinions. And how do you do that? Well, exactly: it goes by the price. It’s in the title, after all.

There’s no room for mistakes in a universe so big as the Ultimate Team players. The immensity of good ones easily absorbs bad decisions. The community isn’t stupid and puts a lot of time into a game that, excuse redundancy, learns to learn. There’s no better way to show how good a player is than setting a price as high as his quality. Nobody likes paying more for a player they think isn’t worth anything, and only some manage to pay less than his average price. In other words: are you undecided between two players? Go for the one that costs more.

Before you present any arguments to contradict this strategy, let us list a few exceptions to this rule that you’re about to know of:

• What about the rest?
  So you choose the most expensive one, and it’s all settled? This isn’t what we said. For some reason, this is the fourth criterion. Until you get here, you’ve at least looked at the players’ attributes and selected those that best fit your playing style and formation. This is just a tiebreaker factor that will certainly work for most people. The more similar the players are to each other, the higher this strategy’s success rate will be.


• But don’t prices change?
  Of course, they do. Sometimes players who used to be more expensive become cheaper than their concurrent. If you look closely, this happens only once in the game, except for rare situations in which a player will make the difference in real life. In the end, this is proof that the community is alert. What happens is that when the game is released, prices are according to people’s initial expectations. Only after some learning and experimenting time will prices be set for more or less, according to whether the player has been revealed worse or better than expected. For that reason, you should only look at the players’ prices as a choice factor after the first 15 days of the game.


• And doesn’t supply affect the price?
  Yes, this is also a factor to be taken into account. Prices are made by the community but are also defined by EA, which can put more or fewer player cards in circulation. Suppose they put many cards the price drops.


• What about popularity?
  All the calling of attention we did until here is important because none of these devices will lead you to a mistake. However, it would help if you intensified your attention when comparing two different popular players. That one of them is in form or plays at a highlighted club is enough to make his price rise. Due to the quick sell value difference between rare and non-rare cards, the last ones tend to get devaluated even when it comes to interesting players. It goes the same way as the popularity factor we explained earlier. If you can identify all these things, you’ll be able to choose the best players at lower prices.

Along with this guide, we gave you all the tools you need to analyze the best choices for your squad. However, the intention wasn’t to depreciate the fun way of finding out if a player is good or not: testing him out. So play, have fun, and if you have good results with someone, don’t change just because somebody else thinks differently. After all, you don’t change a team that’s winning.

FC 24 ACCELERATE

FC 24 Accelerate is an expansion to the player movement system, dividing them into three unique archetypes: controlled, explosive and lengthy.

What is Accelerate?

Accelerate was introduced in FIFA 23, exclusively for next-gen platforms. It defines how players move and run. This new feature is inspired by real-life differences between footballers, where even players with similar speeds can move very differently across the pitch.

FC 24 accelerate provides more realistic gameplay, but it also highlights player personalities on the pitch and creates more diverse player types. It was designed to distinguish between different running styles for players, splitting them into three categories depending on how fast they can get off the mark, and how long they can maintain a high speed.

Accelerate Types

Accelerate is an expansion to the player movement system, dividing players into three unique archetypes:

• Controlled
  Most players in FC 24 will fall into the Controlled type as they accelerate uniformly in a controlled manner.


• Explosive
  These players are quicker to start, but their acceleration rate slows down. They are shorter, more agile, and can quickly cover short distances and get ahead of their opponents, even if that means slowing down after the initial burst of acceleration.


• Lengthy
  These players start slower but will thrive over longer distances. They are taller, stronger, and need a bit more time to get going, but they can catch up to anyone and even surpass them, provided they have enough distance.

In short, Explosive players can likely do better at short distances and one-on-one situations than Lengthy players who will do better over long distances, such as in breakaways after a through ball behind the defense, for example.

Controlled, Explosive and Lengthy Players

At this point, you may ask what makes a player-controlled, explosive, or lengthy. EA doesn’t assign accelerate types player by player. Instead, they automatically determine players based on their Height, Agility, and Strength Attributes.

This is how the FC 24 Accelerate types are assigned:

	Explosive	Lengthy
Acceleration	>= 74	>= 55
Height	<= 180 cm	>= 174 cm
Agility	>= 65
Strength		>= 65
Agility-Strength	>= 15
Strength-Agility		>= 14

Any player not meeting the other two requirements above has a controlled type.

The type a player is assigned to is determined before kick-off, so it’s important to note that it is affected by attribute changes that can happen before the match, such as Chemistry, but it is not impacted by attribute changes that occur once the game has started, like loss of stamina.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Accelerate?

FC 24 Accelerate is an expansion to the player movement system, dividing players into three unique archetypes: controlled, explosive and lengthy.

It was designed to distinguish different running styles for players, splitting them into three categories depending on how fast they can get off the mark and how long they can maintain a high speed.

What is a Lengthy Player?

Lengthy is the most popular of the three Accelerate types. Lengthy Players are incredibly powerful runners and perhaps even overpowered runners. Taking Kalidou Koulibaly as an example, he shows to possess immense pace over a long distance and can catch up to players who have made a successful run in behind him, or even outpace opposition players when they go for a run with the ball.

What's the difference between the three types?

There are three Accelerate archetypes:

• Explosive
  Quicker to start, but the acceleration rate slows down.
• Lengthy
  It starts slower but will thrive over longer distances.
• Controlled
  Accelerate uniformly in a controlled manner.

How chemistry may affect accelerate types?

Chemistry Styles can change a player’s Accelerate type. When the game is assigning Lengthy, Explosive, or Controlled before kick-off, it considers the player’s attributes after applying the Chemistry Styles boosts. This means that, for example, it’s possible for a player who would initially be assigned into the Controlled archetype to fit into the Lengthy archetype instead, as their boosted in-game attributes now make them eligible for the different type.

Not every player in the game can do this, though, as some attributes are just too low on some players to be able to fit them into a different type despite the boosts Chemistry Styles can bring. They also can’t change attributes such as height, which impacts the type.

How do I change the accelerate type?

As FC 24 accelerate is mainly based on Agility, Strength, and Acceleration, only Chemistry Styles that boost those Attributes can change a player’s Accelerate type.

If you want to make your player Explosive, you will need to use Chemistry Styles that impact their Agility, such as Finisher, Artist, and Engine.

If you want to make your player Lengthy, you will need to use Chemistry Styles that impact their Strength, such as Architect, Backbone, Sniper, Hawk, Marksman, Sentinel, and Anchor.

How to see which type a player is?

You can view a player’s Accelerate type in-game by viewing the player stats page from the Team Management section.
