Transform Real-World Performance Into Ultimate Team Upgrades!

Fantasy FC has arrived, bringing a new level of dynamic upgrades to Football Ultimate Team™! Players in this campaign earn boosts based on their real-life performances, with stats like goals, clean sheets, and overall contributions determining their improvements.

This year, a brand-new upgrade system has been introduced, rewarding sportsmanship—players who avoid yellow or red cards will receive extra upgrades. Additionally, Fantasy Heroes will receive boosts based on the performance of their former clubs in upcoming domestic league fixtures.

How It Works

Fantasy FC cards will evolve based on team and individual achievements, with opportunities to upgrade attributes like OVR rating, PlayStyles, Skill Moves, and Weak Foot.
