FIFA 18 Players Cards

Introducing you to the FIFA 18 players cards
 

The FIFA 18 players cards are the most important and also the most complex of the game. They are essential so that you can play. Before any game, you will need to fill the starting eleven slots but also the seven slots for substitutes. Without that, you cannot play. That’s why the starter pack gives you, at least, 18 untradeable players.

If you want a specific player, our suggestion is that you go and search for him on the market using the player filters. This way you will only spend coins on cards you don’t have and you will be equipping your club according to what it needs. Obviously the cards you get from packs should also be taken into account. However, if you think they are not necessary, put them on the market and get a few coins from them or use them to submit SBCs.

You can keep as many player’s cards as you want in your club, as long as there are no duplicates. You can have them duplicated on the transfer list or targets, though. In this case, the only limit you have is the list’s maximum capacity that can be increased with the respective EAS FC catalogue items.

Every time you get a player card in a pack or you buy one in the FUT transfer market, you need to send it to your team if you want to use it. In order to do that, you just need to select ‘send to the active squad‘. If you cannot find the card in your squad, and if you are sure that you have not discard it or send it to the transfer list or transfer market, then it is because probably your squad was full and you have send it to the club. In that case, look for it in ‘My Club’ and swap it for another player.

It is not possible to improve the rating or the stats of any player card, except using training cards. However, it only lasts for one match. If you have found a card very similar to a card you own but with a different rating, stats, league or club it is because it is a different card category.


 
 
 
 

Regular Players’ Cards

DAY 1 CARDS | TRANSFER CARDS | UPGRADED CARDS
 

Regular cards are the most basic ones. Every player must have one. All other cards are modifications made from these ones. At the beginning of the game, all the FIFA 18 players cards belong to the regular category. These cards have the innate characteristics and attributes of the player.

As the game progresses, users can change many of the card features such as the preferred position and preferred chemistry style. However, these cards are still considered regular cards. Only the game system can create non-regular cards. It is important to notice again that it is not possible to improve the rating or the stats in a permanent way.


 
 
 

Day 1 Players Cards

?️ FUT 09 | RATING: ?⚪⚪⚪ | FREQUENCY: ?⚪⚪⚪ | AVAILABILITY: ????
 

When the game goes out, every player has his own card. In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, there are more than 16,000 day 1 cards, corresponding to as many players. They are always in packs, for the whole the year, except when it is being released another card of that player. When a card is released for the first time and assigned to its first owner, it comes with fitness 99 and seven contracts, except for the players of starter pack that have 45 contracts.

The ratings and the stats of regular cards are calculated according to the player’s performance and popularity in the previous 365 days. The card with higher ratings is the one of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Every single day 1 card can be of two types: common or rare. Most of the gamers think that the rare cards, with its bright and with the luminous aspect, are better than the other ones. They believe that the rare cards were created to help players to distinguish easily the best cards. It is not absolutely true. The rare cards are items that have something unique. In the case of player’s cards, for example, the rare cards are assigned to players that have something that no other player has. It can be the tallest goalkeeper of his league, the only player from a country in a particular league or even a CB with an exceptional attribute compared to players with a similar overall. These cards are usually more valuable than the other ones but mostly because their discard price is also higher.

Transfer FIFA 18 Players Cards

?️ FUT 11 | RATING: ?⚪⚪⚪ | FREQUENCY: ??⚪⚪ | AVAILABILITY: ????
 

In order to keep the game updated, Electronic Arts replicates in to FIFA 18 Ultimate Team what is happening in the real transfer market.

When a player moves from his club to another one in the real life, EA Sports releases a new card of this player: the transfer card. The only difference you will find between the new card and the old one, the regular version, is the club and eventually the league. In everything else they are physically identical to the originals, including the ratings and the stats which remain unchanged.

These cards are released two times in the year: during the Winter Transfers Season, on January and February, and during the Summer Transfers Season, from July to September. In any of these cases, the cards are released as the transfers are occurring.

Upgraded FIFA 18 Players Cards

?️ FUT 13 | RATING: ??⚪⚪ | FREQUENCY: ??⚪⚪ | AVAILABILITY: ????
 

As we already have explained, it is not possible to improve the stats of any regular card. However, if a player stands out in the real world, in such a way that his card becomes strongly outdated, Electronic Arts comes to justice introducing a new type of card.

The Ratings Refresh are usually released in February with the goal of adjust the players’ rating and players’ attributes to the reality. They are physically identical to the originals, except on rating and stats.

These cards are usually assigned to the best players of the first half of the season. They must have played well in a consistent way throughout this period and not only in few games, showing that their old regular card was really outdated. The average rating increase to these cards are 2 points, which is explained by the fact that they are only assigned to players who had a marked development and not to minor adjustments.

As soon as upgraded cards are released, they replace all the respective regular cards that are supposed to be released in packs until the end of the game. That is, the only card you will find in packs is the new one but you may find both cards in the transfer market.

In Form Players’ Cards

TEAM OF THE WEEK CARDS
 

One of the features that makes this game mode so interesting is its dynamic component. During the season, and depending on the players’ form in the real world, EA releases In Form (IF) Cards that change the players’ attributes. To own one of these cards is like having a player in your team with potential to play permanently as well as he did when he stood out.


 
 
 

Team of the Week Cards

FIFA 18 Players Cards Guide - TOTW Cards

 

Every week EA Sports selects twenty three players of any quality based on their good real life performances on the previous week and joined them in a single team. That team is called Team of the Week and you can play against them in the ‘TOTW Challenge’.

To each one of the players of this team, it is assigned a new black card which becomes available in packs for a week, replacing the corresponding regular card. In other words, in the week a player gets his TOTW cards in packs, it is impossible to find his regular card there. Your odds of pulling a TOTW card from a pack are exactly the same ones of pulling the regular card of that player in another week.

The ratings and attributes of TOTW cards are usually boosted in one, two or three points compared with the regular or the previous special card. The position of the players in these cards may change if, in the previous week, they played really well in a different position.

    Thanks Rodrigo. I just stumbled across your website last week and it is FANTASTIC. Really appreciate all the work you’ve done to create this resource.

    For the upgrade cards that look just like the regular cards, are the green arrows present next to the upgraded stat (like in your picture above) or did you just add that illustration? Is there any way to differentiate the two cards other than the numbers being different?

    1. Great question. In fact, the card with the green arrow was in the EA’s database and would be very useful to differentiate between the two cards. Unfortunately, EA didn’t use it and the only way to know which card it is, is looking at the numbers.

  3. Hey Rodrigo, quick question. Will the Ones To Watch and the Path To Glory Cards update the stats if a Team of the Season card is released as well? For example Mo Salah has a OTW card currently at a 91 and he is guaranteed a TOTS this year. When his TOTS card comes out say he’s a 94 will the OTW card update as well or not? Only asking cause in your descriptions under PTG and OTW cards you didn’t include TOTS.
