How to roll into Ultimate Team? Breaking down the basics of FIFA’s main mode

Football knowledge is not required.

Ultimate Team is the main mode of FIFA. Every year, millions of players create a dream team, and EA actively supports FUT with a variety of events. But how to start playing the popular online mode if you have played a career before or have never opened football simulators at all?

Let’s talk about how Ultimate Team works. Now you will succeed!

We collect the first composition. The main indicator of the players is speed

Your roster is the key menu of the Ultimate Team. You will constantly change players, but you need a strategy to start. Buy fast players and focus on the stats you value the most. Rating is important, but slow stars will weaken the team.

Boost card stats with Chemistry Styles Shadow and Hunter.

FUT has a chemistry system. You can assemble a squad of any players, but they will play stronger with familiar partners. Choose your favorite league or combine multiple clubs until you remember how chemistry works. Note that cards often have unexpected alternate positions! Project players will be very helpful in building a team.

The next item is the choice of game scheme. The most popular formations resemble real football: 4-4-2, 4-1-2-1-2 (2), 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 (4) and 4-2-2-2 . Most schemes are good, so your preference comes into play. For playing combination football through a short pass, narrow schemes with a rich center of the field are suitable. If you prefer dynamic horizontal football, go for a high flank formation.

Don’t overthink tactics. There are a lot of scary sliders in this menu, but the default settings work great. Instead, customize the formations for different game plans (from super-defensive to super-offensive) and manually select the roles of the players. For free kicks, masters with a dribble kick are suitable, for corner kicks, players with a twist towards the goal are needed.

How to buy players and earn coins? We talk about transfers, IPC and trade

The most obvious option for strengthening the squad is the transfer market. You can find players by last name, a variety of filters, or buy inexpensive cards with boosts from the required league. Trainers, chemistry styles, and other consumables are available in different tabs.

Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) are another chance to strengthen your team. Here, players change compositions from unnecessary cards to packs (mostly unsold). Go through the basic SBCs and keep an eye out for current offers – cool colored cards often appear here.

Matches bring a lot of coins, but if they are not enough for you – try reselling cards.

There are many trading strategies. The easiest is to buy rare silver players from the top leagues (500-1500 profit coins per card) and rated players (84-86) during periods of low demand for future SBCs. Check out the price charts for your desired platform on Futbin. Collect SBCs and trade players in the web app, which is much more user-friendly than the client.

Forget about buying packs in the store! The only reason to go into it is the preview sets, which show the catch in advance and are updated every day. They are in the tab with gold packs.

What modes are in Ultimate Team? Divisions, FUT Champions and rewarding missions

Rivals – regular game mode. The goal of divisions is to rise as high as possible. Checkpoints for two or three victories in a row and x2 for a winning streak help to storm the ranks. Playing Rivals gives weekly and seasonal rewards.

FUT Champions (Weekend League) – Elite Tournament. To participate, you need to score 1250 qualification points in Rivals. The playoffs are the first stage of the Champions. After five wins (or four wins and four losses), you will be taken to the final stage of the Weekend League. You’ll play 20 FUT Champions matches over the weekend and earn rich rewards ranging from packs to cards to choose from. The Final Token is available throughout the season, so take your time to activate it if you are tired of playing.

Squad Battles and Moments – Singleplayer Ultimate Team modes. Squad Battle is played for weekly rewards and the toughest missions. Fresh “Moments” is a little more interesting. You will be given challenges with a time limit, for which you will receive special stars and open packs for them. In the draft, you can get acquainted with expensive cards, and friendly matches are created for entertainment in the company.

Tasks is one of the most important tabs in FUT. They are divided into short and large-scale (stages), and for their implementation they often give packs and good cards. Some tasks are designed for friendly matches. In them, you risk nothing, and most opponents will give up victory after one goal.

Completing most tasks will give you seasonal experience, for which you will receive various rewards – packs and unique decorations for the stadium. Yes, your stands can be decorated! Open the “Club” tab and select your favorite kit, ball color and field markings.

Congratulations, you have created a dream team!
