The manager training cards allow you to change the preferred tactics of the manager to the one that is written on the card. For each card that you spend, you can change tactics once. Can be applied to any manager that you have on the roster. The great interest of these cards is to match the team’s tactics with the manager’s tactics. This will give you a very substantial increase in the team’s chemistry.

FIFA Ultimate Team Consumables – Position Training Card

One of the most important factors in the team’s chemistry is if players are playing in their preferred position. Although they could play at any position, the team’s chemistry is strengthened if they are placed in the position written on their cards or at least in similar position. As it is not always possible to make these positions match, there are position training cards that help us to solve this problem. These cards are equivalent to trainings to adapt to a new position in the field. By applying one of these cards to a player, we are changing the preferred position written on his card.

However, it is necessary to have in mind that the position training cards contain informations about the old and the new positions. If a player’s favorite position is not equal to the old position written on the position training card, we can not apply  that card to him. In practice, this means, for example, that we will never be able to become a central back in a striker.

There are 17 different types of position training cards, all of the gold level.

FIFA Ultimate Team Consumables – Formation Training Card

All players have written on their cards in which tactics they prefer to play. If the player’s tactics and the team’s tactics match, the chemistry will gain some points. Otherwise, one of the fastest solutions is to purchase and implement a formation training card.

As it happens with the manager training card, by applying one of these cards in a player, the preferred tactic become to be the tactic written in the formation training card.

These cards exist only at gold level and at 16 different types, as many as the tactics of  FIFA Ultimate Team.

    I agree, having this features would add a more meaningfull purpose to the game tan just the leaderboards, why not bring it closer to reality, after all it does simulate real life football in a way.

  3. It is a shame that the training affects aren’t permanent. I definitely bought a bunch of cards assuming that they were. It would be nice if the game allowed you (in some way, maybe not necessarily the training card, but just playing game after game) level up players in a sense. Even if there was a ceiling. This would make trading players far more interesting. Right now the only thing that’s interesting about buying a player is that you can see their performance history on the other teams (in aggregate). So you can tell how many goals someone got with a certain player, how many owners, etc. It’s neat, but I think it really misses the entire point because it doesn’t actually matter. The difference between mattering and not is a really important concept the game developers missed.

    1. I totally agree with you! Level up players depending on their performance overtime. Maybe level down them too? That way you can buy a Kun Aguero with a lower level for cheap and level him up over time with good performances.
