PC (EA With Membership)What FC Points can be used for
Well, FC Points (not to be confused with Coins) are the primary paid currency in EA’s FIFA games that let you access some of the Ultimate Team store content. Meaning you can buy various packs that have legends like Ronaldo Nazário, Pelé etc. But that’s not all you can do! Here are some of the many things you can do with FC Points:
Packs: This is what I mentioned up there. But if I had to elaborate a little more, FC Points can open packs available in the Ultimate Team Store of course but you can also open other packs such as promotional packs released during Team of the Week, Team of the Season, Icons etc.
Personally, I look forward to the TOTW packs the most because I feel more connected to the recent football matches that way. More realistic.
Draft entries: So this can be slightly confusing for new players. To clarify, you basically use FC Points (or Coins) to pay for a draft entry fee, and then you pick players for a temporary squad to earn rewards based on wins. Don’t get caught up with the word “temporary” though. Yes, the team itself is temporary but you will instead get packs that will get you good players for your ultimate team!
Other content: Moreover, FC Points can be used to buy evolution slots, buy the Premium Pass for better rewards, or customize your stadium which I think is really niche and something not many players care that much about.
FC Coins vs. Points
So, we are finally uncovering the secret. Previously I mentioned Coins, and clearly made a distinction between them and FC Points. But what is the actual difference?
Firstly, they are different in their acquisition method. One of the main ways is through playing matches. Different modes like Division Rivals, Squad Battles, and Champions will give you Coins depending on which mode you play and how well you do. You’ll slowly gain Coins by playing regularly.
Weekly rank rewards, Season Goals, and Squad Building Challenges can also give you some extra Coins along with packs. This helps you earn Coins if you’re consistent at climbing ranks.
You can also gain a lot of Coins through the Transfer Market. If you have any unwanted tradable items (Player Cards, Consumables, etc.), you can sell them for some extra currency.
Another difference between Coins and FC Points is that Coins can be used directly in the Transfer Market. This means that you can buy a specific player or consumable. On the other hand, FC Points will usually be used for random packs and other things in the store.
FC Points are the actual premium currency. The main ways to purchase them are the in-game Ultimate Team Store, the platform store and using trusted retailers.
They can be used to purchase various types of content in Ultimate Team, however, the most common being packs, Draft entries, Evolution slots, Premium Passes and select cosmetics.
The main way of obtaining new players using FC points is packs. These packs have randomised contents. This means that you could receive a strong player however there isn’t a guarantee of what you’ll receive. EA publishes probabilities to let you know your chances of receiving specific items depending on their rating and type.
