Ultimate team's card designs are a language: the colour tells you the tier, the artwork tells you the story. Here's a field guide to every major card type — all of which you can make yourself in FUT Cards, with authentic designs across FC 24, FC 25 and FC 26.
The base cards
| Card | Rating band | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze (common/rare) | ≤64 | Squad fillers and lower-league players |
| Silver (common/rare) | 65–74 | Solid pros, cult heroes |
| Gold (common/rare) | 75+ | The standard top-flight card |
The "rare" variants add the shine — visually, a richer texture. A gold rare is the iconic ultimate team card and the default in FUT Cards.
The performance cards
- Team of the Week (TOTW) — the black-and-gold in-form for a standout week. Small boost, big flex.
- Team of the Season (TOTS) — league-by-league best XIs at the season's end. TOTS guide.
- Team of the Year (TOTY) — the blue-and-gold elite eleven of the calendar year. TOTY guide.
- Man/Player of the Match (MOTM/POTM) — single-performance and monthly awards.
The legacy cards
- Icons — the all-time greats on the trademark cream card. Retired legends only.
- Heroes — cult favourites tied to a league, on the marble-swirl design. Origin and Prime variants tell the early and peak career stories.
The promo cards
Every season runs event promos with their own designs. The recurring ones: Future Stars (wonderkids), FUT Birthday (anniversary celebrations), Futties (the end-of-season "community awards"), Winter Wildcards, Thunderstruck, Ultimate Scream (Halloween), and road-to-glory style cards for the European competitions. FUT Cards carries these per season, so an FC 24 Futties looks different from an FC 26 one — as it should.
