Rumors say the devs made massive changes to Ultimate Team for FC 27. Compared to FC 26. it is way less of a grind and offers way more freedom. The core updates are focused on SBCs, Evolutions, and the new Collection Book.
SBC System Optimization
The SBC system is probably getting the best upgrades in FC 27. It fixes some major pain points and brings in a brand new point system. Here is the breakdown:
Auto-Fill Feature
This is a new feature where the system automatically throws useless fodder from your club into the squad based on the rating requirement. You can set up whitelists or blacklists so you do not accidentally submit your main squad players as fodder.
Multi-Duplicate Submission
If you are holding onto multiple copies of the same card, you can submit duplicates all at once in a single SBC. No fodder goes to waste, making the grind way more efficient.
New Point System
Some SBCs will feature this new mechanic where cards have a specific SBC point attribute. As long as the total points meet the requirement, it unlocks, meaning you won't always need a strict 11-player OVR requirement.
Evolutions System Overhaul
FC 27 introduces a branching evolution system. After completing an evo stage, you can choose different upgrade paths instead of being locked into a single route like in FC 26. This means you can build completely unique custom cards.
Word is that if you do not like the final evo result, you can reset the card and choose a different path. This adds massive value to testing out different card builds.
New Collection Book System
Not every Ultimate Team player is sweaty and competitive. A lot of people just love collecting their favorite cards, and the devs clearly noticed.
They are adding a digital sticker album style page, kind of like real-life card collecting. Every promo will have its own dedicated collection page, and once you pull or buy the player, they slot right in. It feels super rewarding.
Plus, hitting certain collection milestones gives extra rewards like exclusive packs or special player cards. It gives those useless low-rated cards some actual value.
More Detailed Playstyles
The Playstyles system in FC 27 might get way more detailed, with new specific Playstyles for defending, passing traits, and penalties.
Rumors also say they might add more tiers beyond just standard and Playstyle+ (maybe bronze or purple tiers?), probably to close the gap between different player tiers and keep the game balanced.
More Icons and Heroes Cards
FC 27 will have more licensed players than FC 26. including some absolute legends. We are talking Man City legend Aguero, Real Madrid's Pepe and Varane, Argentina legend Kempes, and Brazil's Rivelino.
Leaks about new players are all over social media right now, featuring both new faces and old favorites. FC 27 is definitely bringing back more classic legends.
