It is the fifth birthday of the most popular FIFA game mode. Celebrate 5 years of FIFA Ultimate Team with 5 free untradeable rare gold packs and find out more about the history of FUT.
Celebrate 5 years of FIFA Ultimate Team
The first day of FIFA Ultimate Team was on March 19th, 2009. When FUT was first introduced in FIFA 09, it started with just over 1 million paid users, known as founders. Today, more than 21 million gamers have played a match of FIFA Ultimate Team. If you want to know a bit more about the history of the most popular FIFA game mode, check the following infographic.
Get 5 Free Rare Gold Packs
To celebrate FUT’s fifth birthday, FIFA Ultimate Team will be holding special events throughout the week.
The first thing you should do is to go to your console’s or PC UT and open the 5 untradeable Gold Rare packs that are waiting for you until March 24th. Each pack has 12 rare cards that you can not sell and which discard price is 0 (like the welcome pack when you started playing FUT 14). These packs are available for everyone except for mobile players. Don’t look for them on your FUT Web App or Companion App. They will not be there. Only on your PC or console.
You can also expect several Happy Hours during the week and more surprises. Since the TOTW of this week has top players, like Messi, David Silva and Buffon (click HERE to check it), we may expect a drop in the cards’ prices.
Until March 20th 6pm, the 15k packs are available with a 10k coin-only discount. Take the chance to get up to five of these packs only by 5k each. Don’t forget also to open your Ultimate Team everyday until March 24th. There is a daily gify waiting for you.
Share with us which card you got. And good luck!
Not really related but on the iOS game I completed the have a team 85+ rating with 100 chemistry mission and got three gold player packs. I got 87 modric and I want to sell him but it won’t let me, why is this?
Because that card is untradeable. You can not sell it or buy it. EA made it in that way to prevent users with multiple account take advantage of the packs offers.
A cannit believe there untradeable i got 88 hazzard 88suarez if buffon if defoe and i also recieved aguero twice and also recieved david silva
Eheheheh
I still cannot believe my PS3 froze when i got SIF Messi!!! I was in the pack for so long – screaming in my living room! The worst part was that my cheeky little bro deleted the picture of him in the pack
Really bad luck
once playing 100 games with an untradeable item will it be tradable?
No. Never.
I got IF messi IF David silva and Ronaldo but there untradible so the worst but best luck ever
Unbelievable!
Do you have any picture of that ? If yes, send us to our Twitter and we will RT it.
why my friend got 10 packs ?
but i got only 5 ,,, do you know the reason ?
I have an idea.
It may be because a different console’s version. But don’t worry. You may notice that their packs are smaller. Each pack has less cards.
Hi I got 10 packs on my Xbox one but cannot open them
And I still haven’t got it on my ps3 .do you think it is a bug because I got it in my Xbox onapril9 which is too late
We really don’t know.
Maybe you should contact the EA Support. See HERE how to do it.
how come i can quick sell my untradeable consumables but no my players ?
You can quick sell your untradeable players by 0 coins.
wtf i got David Villa and a few other decent players in two free gold packs and i can’t select them to play!
Go to your active squad menu, choose a player and select ‘swap player’. Then, go to the last players of the list that will appear.
Thanks for releasing the two free packs today as my brother has previously had very bad pack luck and wouldn’t stop moaning till today when he got SIF Reus and he fits well into his team which he is extremely happy about so I guess thank you for shutting him up eventually 😀
🙂
these two packs are also untradable
Yes!
Check more about it HERE.
I got yaya toure but can’t sell him which is annoying just want to sell him but at the moment building a bpl squad round him so not bad really hoping for more Aguero or David silva or van persie someone like that next time
Why did i get free packs today as well? Same ones, gold 12 untradeable, 2 this time though not 5 or 10? Im confused
For all the Cu how have faced the issue in Ultimate Team where users do not receive results while searching the Transfer Market EA as a good will gesture gifted 2 free untradeable Gold Rare 25K packs – now available to all FUTers who created an account before April 1st.
Please login to the FUT Store on your console/mobile/PC game or the mobile companion app (not the Web App) to claim the free packs. Be sure to claim them before Friday April 11th at 11:59pm UK (3:59pm PT) or they will no longer be available.
More details about it HERE.
Just click HERE.
Got Messi in 2 form. Its sad that i cant sell him……
I got ronaldo
Really ? Great!
I got 15 packs on ps4 and my friend on XBOX got 10 and all other get free????? And would i be able to sell the players??
If it shows that it is ‘untradeable’, you can not sell them. Never.
Would you ever be able to sell the players
No. Players that you got on free packs can not be sold. Never.
Why are they only adding the free packs to some. Ios accounts, cuz I couldn’t get any.
It seems random.
Can u sell untradables after a week or something
Never.
Hey Rodrigo when do you expect the market to go back to normal?
Hi.
When something big happen, like TOTY release, the market is back to “normal” in 1.5 to 2 weeks. It depends of many factors. If EA doesn’t release any more very special happy hour, market should be back to normal again in a week. But as usually, the “normal” prices should be slightly lower than before the 5 years of FUT.
Are the Non-Tradeable cards ever gonna be tradeable???
Never.
hey pal, I was just wondering if you get the 5 free promo pack on ps3 as my mate did not receive them. if so how could he get them xxx
He should contact the EA Support Center. See HERE how to do it.
I got pirlo,Pedro,Diego costa and soldado
I got at least 2 team fitness cards but they never show when I want to assign them to a player. To be honest this always seems to be the case if I send a fitness card to my club…….
One thing is a team fitness card. Other thing is a player fitness card. You probably got team fitness card that can not be applied on a player. Pressing square (Playstation) on the active club menu you will go to the actions menu. There you can apply a team fitness card, which means that the fitness of all your players will be improved.
Regards
Whenever I select the team fitness cards from the club menu on the xbox, it only gives me the options to list or sell – which you obviously can’t do. It’s the same with ones I’ve purchased in the past. I have to basically assign them straight away
Maybe you are trying on FUT Web App. Applying a team fitness card on the active club menu is only possible through consoles / PC.
are the 5 free gold packs available for android today??
Don’t think so.
Hi,
I usually never play FUT but when I heard about the free packs I created my team, I went in to the store and saw I had no packs to open, I turned my console off and then on again but nothing happened, I erased the team and made a new one like 2 times but nothing happened pls help me
Probably it is only for old users.
Whats the advantage in multiple accounts?
Peope use multiple accounts to get more welcome packs, daily gifts, etc… That’s why EA made those cards untradeable. Multiple accounts may also be used to expand the transfer list slots.
Regards
What time does this 5 free packs offer finish
It was not announced. Try to get them as soon as possible.
I got agüero, just the player I needed for my Bpl team
You are so lucky.
I got Gotze, Iniesta and Eto’o too bad I can’t sell them
Yep…
I’ve spent probably over £100 on FIFA over the year and I’ve spent more on an account that I had before,but never I have I got any players close to what I got out the free packs, why is that.. Cos it’s a slap in the face when u play FIFA loads and always try getting decent players..then just get given amazing players with no value..why is that ???
Probably to make people buy more packs. We truly thin it was that.
can you not just remove the free packs and then people can sell the players that they got
We are not EA. And they will not do it.
How long will these packs last?
The 5 packs that EA is offering are valid until Monday.
All the people that got 10 packs aren’t lucky the people who got 5 are because in the 10 packs you get 12 items and 3 rares in the 5 you get 24 items and 17 rares I got IF Buffon and Yaya Touré in mine I play on Ps4 but I opened them in the app. If you’re on any console released before the Xbox Elite or Ps3 slim you would have got the 10 packs. If you have those consoles or any released after you get the five. Each one has it’s advantages the 5 is more players and more rares and the ten is more chances to get InForms
It makes sense. Do you have any source ? How do you know it ?
Because all of my friends were saying how lucky they were getting 10 packs instead of 5 and I thought they were aswell but the 6 of my friends who said that 2 of them are on Xbox 360 and 4 on ps3 but one of my friends just got his new Xbox One and said he only got 5 packs. And all of them told me that they got 12 items in each and one of my friends brothers got a Ps3 slim and is selling his Xbox Elite and he got five packs on each. I don’t actually know 100% but it adds together perfectly when thinking about it
Thank you for your feedback. We will look into this.
Hi, do you know why I could open the packs on the companion app and the web app. And I only received 5 when most got 10
Hi.
It is not true that most got 10. We have feedback of hundreds of players and tehre are more people who got 5 than 10.
also I got if schweinsteiger so I so I hope its true
Don’t think so.
there is a myth that you can sell the untradeable players after an amount of games, is this true?
We think it is only a myth.
Hi. I didn´t get any packs. I went to my UT account. Game was saying There are 5 packs available for you, but there is nothing. I need some help.
Don’t you have a ‘5’ printed on your store icon ? If the game is saying that maybe you should recheck the store.
No. There is nothing like that. At the main page at the start of the game there is a picture saying You got five packs on your UT, but only thing i can see with the number 5 is 25 k packs.
If you already checked ‘My Packs’ on the store, then maybe you should ask to EA Support where your packs are.
See HERE how to do it.
Regards
Are the packs available for fifa13
No.
i opened the packs but afterwards they weren’t in my club
Hi.
Try to do the following: go to ‘My Club’ – ‘Players’ and go to the very end of that list. They should be after the bronze players, because that list is sorted by quick sell values.
i got IF messi 😀
Really. Send a screenshot to our Twitter page. We will RT.
have two accounts one is running out of membership and other is renewed got neymar in my free packs and was wondering could i swap him to my other account is this possible as he is untradeable?
No, it is not possible. That’s why they make them untradeable.
I got a bunch of crap
I got inform messi on an account I don’t use, this is so depressing
Maybe you should change it. Or you can sell that account to someone else (attention it is against EA terms of use and conditions).
What are the daily gifts and do you collect them on console or web app
You get them on FUT Web App and they are small gifts: mini packs, coins, etc…
Let’s see what I got today… 250 coins. Again. 🙁
I opened my 5 packs the other day on xbox one, but can’t find the players anywhere when I go on now?
Try to do the following: go to ‘My Club’ – ‘Players’ and go to the very end of that list. They should be after the bronze players, because that list is sorted by quick sell values.
We should be able to sell these free players, got IF Gerrard,Iniesta,Rooney,Ramos,C & Gundogan sitting in my club, fucked us over again, rather have nothing, for fuck sake EA!
Only got 5 packs when everyone i know got 10 hows that work then?
We got 5. The problem is that the lucky ones are all your friends. 🙂
Got a promoted premium gold pack that promised 3 rare cards and only got 1????????
Really ? Are you sure you haven’t go one rare player and two rare consumables cards ?
The only useful card I got in my 5 Free Packs was Vidic. I did get Dante, Song, Ramires, but already had them so had to junk them for a whopping Zero coins. Oh well.
If you already had them why don’t you keep with the untradeable cards and sold the ones you own ?
I already opened my packs , got an gerard iF but i cant find him on my squaq what happen?
Go to ‘My Club’ – ‘Players’ and in very end of the list, after the bronze players, you will find the untradeable players.
I got Ibra!!!!! in the free packs. wanted to sell him to buy upgraded Suarez and Hazard
You can’t. He can not be sold.
Got humbles, isco and so many contracts!!!! (not that thats such a bad thing) also got a couple of players i already have so now i can sell those players and make a bit of money by selling them (good advice trust me). Also 8k bonuses in the packs was a nice surprise
Yes, getting players that we already own, is a good thing.
hey rodrigo!
i have a lot of players to sell! should i wait one week or sell an soon an possible?
i think waiting is better, isn’t it?
Depends if you want to buy other cards or not. If you don’t want him for your team you have two options:
1) Sell him now and use the coins you got to buy other player by a good price;
2) Sell him in 1 to 2 weeks by 30% more but the other cards will be more expensive too.
Regards
Got buffon IF in an untradeble pack. But robben in a jumbo pack!!
Not bad at all.
if you delete your club do you get 5 free packs again
Probably not.
Got 2 inform schweinsteigers in one day cant sell em , surly ea will let us sell 1
Woooww! Lucky guy. If you got in different accounts on the free packs, you will not be able to sell it.
I got Inform schweinstager which I am very happy with, will I never be able to sell him
No. You wont.
Can you ever sell these players or are they just stuck in your club with a no cost quick sell?
The second one.
It HAD to be only console people…
i got buffon but its stupid that you cant sell them why did you do that>?
Several reasons. To avoid duplication accounts, for example.
will we be able to transfer the players we get in our fee 5 packs sometime soon?
No. Never.
Hi I got motm Rvp Suarez and aguero would I be able to put them on the same account
If you got these cards on the free packs and on different accounts, you will not be able to do it. That’s one of the reasons why EA made these cards untradeable.
I have heard rumours you can sell these ‘untradeable’ cards after ten matches-is this true? And if so, do you have to play the player for ten matches or does he automatically become traceable after you have played ten more matches? Thanks!
No, it is not. After 10 games they get the loyalty bonus (1 individual chemistry point). Just it.
Apparently after 10 games you can sell the players what you get in the 5 free packs is that true
No, it is not. After 10 games they get the loyalty bonus (1 individual chemistry point). Just it.
Hello rodrigo,after 10 games can you sell the pleaders you get in the free packs
Hi.
No. Never. After 10 games they get the loyalty bonus (1 individual chemistry point). Just it.
Will the players ever be tradable ???
If you are talking about the free packs: never.
Will they ever be sellable
No
I got larsenn legand card. Two informs. I got aguero. I got sergio ramos. I got hart.
You got… luck.
Hey ! I play Fifa Ultimate team on ps3 and on pc – yesterday i logged in with my pc and i received 10 packs… dont know why – but do i get also 5 packs on my ps3 account ? or is it like 5 packs per account so i get 10 packs in total on my pc ?
EA has announced 5 packs. But many people are getting 10. It has nothing to do with the level or the EST date. It seems to be random.
I got 10 packs but whe I opened my first it disconnected me from ultimate team…when I came back I only had 5?Please help
The right thing is to get 5 packs. So you can’t ask for explanations to them.
Can I have some coins cos I really suck at this game 10k please
We don’t give coins by request
I did get ljungberg the legend untradeable :/ can’t really use him
Can you sell the players at any point?
The players that you got on free packs can not be sold. Never.
Can you sell the players you got after 10 games?
No. After 10 games they get the loyalty bonus (1 individual chemistry point). Just it.
I haven’t got my packs yet! What do I do?
I got them now.
Cool.
Have you checked on your console ? Free packs are not available on mobile, companion app or Web App.
If you still haven’t got the packs, contact the EA Support. See HERE how to do it.
It’s available on the companion app.
I think it is only for some players, like the thing of the 10 packs instead of 5 packs.
When can I sell the players
If you are talking about the free packs: never.
I did not get my “Daily reward gift” I am on ps3
Did you check on your console ?
I have heard you can sell them after 10 games is this true
No, it is not. After 10 games they get the loyalty bonus (1 individual chemistry point). Just it.
Its so annoying i got David luis and upgraded benteke and if defoe good packs but there untradable
Build a BPL squad. 🙂
i havent been given any packs is it because i havent been playing for a while or is it a bug?
Did you check on your console instead of Web App ? Are you a mobile player ?
Hello Rodrigo,
I have a question. You said that players will receive a free gift everyday if they open fut until 24th March. Does it require the web app?
I think it is.
Hi, will the players ever become available to sell?
No. Ever.
why can you not sell the players you get in free packs????
It’s like the Welcome pack.
Ea is giving you packs but they know that you will not be able to use all the players without building new teams and spending more coins and FIFA Points on it.
Can’t do anything with these free player if you can’t sell them. Thanks ea. rather have a free bag of water
i dont have the packs
Do you play on you console or PC ? Remember that packs are not available on FUT Web App.
I opened them from mobile comoanion app on iPhone.
i am on ps3 but i don’t have a controller so i went on web app and i don’t
have any packs :/
That’s the only way. You need to enter on your PS3 UT.
Hello Rodrigo,
I am a PC player and use a very old model, so my computer always says that ‘your screen does not have high enough resolution’ when I enter the store. And as I can’t get my packs on the Web App, how can I redeem my packs?
Thanks.
by a new pc bro only way
You can redeem them via your console UT store
If you can not change the screen resolution and enter on your Ultimate Team you probably will lose your packs. I’m not seeing another alternative.
I tinkered repeatedly with the settings and finally got into the store. Unfortunately, my players weren’t that good. Only players above 83 were Vidic, Nasri, Khedira, and Kroos.
Thank you for your feedback.
I got IF Schweinstiger and he is untradeable is there any way to make him tradable?
Unfortunately there is not.
Hi,
Yesterday I got 10 packs and it was on mobile iPhone app… Found Pique, Santi Cazorla, De Rossi, Alaba, Demichelis and some others not worth mentioning.
Guess I’m just lucky to have 10 packs and on mobile app 🙂
Hi.
There are many people getting 10 packs instead of the announced 5. But on mobile it is a bit strange…
Hello, I´m playing on pc and i haven´t recieved any free pack. What should I do?
oh, i guess i solved it, but it´s wierd, because i´ve got them on a phone app
Hi.
Contact EA Support until Monday. See HERE how to do it.
Hi, i opened the 5k packs….the best player i got was kompany.
Should i sell him now or wait for a day or two?
Depends if you want to buy other cards or not. If you don’t want him for your team you have two options:
1) Sell him now and use that coins to buy other player by a good price;
2) Sell him in 1 to 2 weeks by 30% more but the other cards will be more expensive too.
Regards
i got the inf 81 cam lavezzi willian and lewandoski
One of each league. Damn…
Can i sell the Cards if i play 45 matches with the Card i want to sell
Could i sell the players from these packs?
The cards of free packs can not be sold. Never.
No, you can not. After playing 45 matches with them, you will need to apply a contract card to be able to play again. You can not sell them. Never.
i just have one question, i got teves and santi in pack and i can sell them but they go for like 8 k should i wait like 1 week and they mby will go for like 15 k again
In our opinion you should wait one or two weeks. The prices will go up again.
hallo, my problem is that i cant sell my players that i got in free packs.
i got defoe and tadic inform but they are usseles to me….
plss can u guys fix it and let us sell the players bro
#fut4ever
They will not do it.
These cards can not be sold. Never. Or you build a team around these players or you forget them.
Got FUT Legend Owen! But he’s unreadable so mixed emotions
We hope you play with a English team.
will i be able to sell the players out of the 5th birthday packs ????? (the fre ones) 🙂
No. Never. It is like the cards of your welcome packs.
I got inform silva, godin, kompany and some borussia dortmund player called blasekowsky, he is a RM.
Not bad at all.
I got rooney 🙂
Very well…
market has crashed! wat is d best way to invest now? wat plyrs shud i buy?
Take a look to episode 15 of MYFUT 14 HERE.
Hi,
My friend who plays on Xbox 360 got 10 free packs. Is this a bug? I only got 5 on PS4 🙂
No, it is not a bug.
EA has announced 5 packs but they are giving 10 packs to some gamers. It is random.
how random is it coz all my friends got 5 and me and my brother got 10
How many cards your packs had ?
Hello, will the free packs be available for Android devices ?
No. As we have published, the free packs are not available for FIFA 14 mobile.
My buddy and I were both able to see and open the free packs on iOS
A couple of people got it. But most of them, don’t. You are a lucky guy. 🙂
will be released a free gold pack on android?
I don’t think so.
Got fabregas , muller , kolarov , if defoe and balotelli
But they’re untradable :/
Better than nothing.
Why are they untradable??
There are other reasons, but the main one is to avoid people taking advantage of owning multiple accounts.
Is there market crash??????
Prices are low, low, low.
till when???
Probably next Wednesday.
Can you get legends on ps3?
No. Not in FUT 14.
Can u get 5 free tots packs in ps3 like Xbox did today!!??
Did you get it ?
The free packs were a result of an internal testing error of EA Sports.
