FAQ - common questions about meta cards in EA FC 27

What are meta cards in EA FC 27?

Players who perform best in their position in the current version of the game - thanks to their stats, PlayStyles, physical attributes and how they behave in a match.

How do I find the right version of a card on the transfer market?

Check three things: the name, the overall rating and the version shown next to the card. The same player can have several cards at very different prices.

Are women players included too?

Yes. A spot on the list depends only on how the card plays and what it costs - women and men are rated exactly the same way.

Why do market prices differ from the tiers in this article?

Card prices change every day, especially after new promos and rewards. Treat the tiers as a guide - the date of the last update is at the top of the page.

Which positions should I start building my squad with?

Centre-backs and the defensive midfielder first - these positions work for the whole match. Strikers and wingers are easier to upgrade later, once you have more coins.

What if I do not have enough coins for a card on the list?

In our shop you can buy FC 27 Coins for PlayStation, Xbox and PC - exactly as many as you are missing for the card you want.

Summary

Build your EA FC 27 squad in this order: budget, key positions, and only then the stars. A solid defence and midfield from a lower tier will win you more games than one expensive striker surrounded by random cards.
