MANAGING YOUR SQUADS
The Squad screen is where you manage your players, give players contracts, improve their
fitness and morale, and optimize your teams’ chemistry.
CONTRACTS
In FIFA Ultimate Team, your players need contracts to play a match. Each player has seven
contracts when they’re found in a pack. Every time you play a match the contracts remaining
for a player is reduced by one. A player loses one contract by coming on the pitch; if the player
is in your subs but does not play they keep their contract for the match.
A player contract can be Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Applying a contract to a player with the same
quality rating is always the best value. So, when a Bronze player runs out of contracts picking
up a Bronze pack or a Bronze contract on the trade market is your best bet. To apply a contract
item to a player bring up the Actions menu and select Apply Consumable.
FITNESS
To get the most out of your players in matches, make sure your squad is match fit and ready
to play. Check your players for fitness and morale in the Squads screen by moving and
changing to the Status view.
Ideally, fitness for players should be as high as possible (maximum 99) to ensure they can
run for the full match. Fitness can be recovered two ways—resting the player for a match
or playing a fitness recovery item. Try to keep your players above 75 fitness to get a full 90
minutes from them. To apply fitness items to a player bring up the Actions menu and select
APPLY CONSUMABLE. Fitness items can be found in packs or on the Auction market.
MORALE
Morale for a player starts out neutral and goes up or down based on their performance in
matches. A player with high morale gains benefits during gameplay, while a player with low
morale has a small decrease to their performance during the match.
Aim to keep your player morale at neutral or above when starting a match. A player’s morale
trends toward neutral naturally. If you find a player is not in good spirits, you can rest him in
matches or play a morale training item on that player. To apply a morale item to a player, bring
up the Actions menu and select Apply CONSUMABLE. Morale items can be found in packs or on
the Auction market.
TIP: To swap players, highlight one player, press , and then highlight another player and
press again. To look at the players in your club, press to open the Player Actions menu,
and then select the Swap with Club option.

SEASONS
The most popular mode in FIFA is back for FIFA 13! Play with any club you want in 10-game
online seasons, with the goal of reaching promotion and climbing up the divisions. Can you
reach Division 1? There are now all-new Division Titles, which exist in each division. Not only is
promotion a goal, but also the glory of being the best in your division and collecting silverware.
What better way to show off your success than your own Trophy Cabinet. The more success
you have, the better your cabinet can get.
Also new is the ability to save your team management changes for future Seasons games. In
addition, there are more matchmaking options, which give you added customization, so that
you can play the way you want against who you want.
Lastly, co-op play is back in FIFA Seasons! Grab a friend for some 2v2 action and work
together to glory.
PLAYING IN CUPS
Every few weeks the cup window opens. Based on your current division, you qualify for cups
and choose which to enter during the window. Each is a dynamic 16-team tournament. Can
you fill up your Trophy Cabinet?

mode determines your value in the eyes of the football world!
CHOOSE YOUR JOURNEY
PLAYER CAREER
Take control of a created up-and-coming starlet or choose to be a current professional football
player as you embark on your journey in multiple league, cup, continental, and, potentially,
international competitions in the hopes of becoming a world-class star.
You can choose two different types of players in your Player Career:
Real Player Select any real player from any team. You start at whatever the player’s status is with
the club and country (if applicable).
Create Your Pro Create your own professional player, starting as a young player for any team. You can
select any club, as there are many paths to take in your journey to creating a world-
class star. Select a low-tier club and work your way up through leagues to play for the
best clubs in the world, or choose to start your journey with one of the best clubs. Be
warned, if your player is deemed not to have qualified to make the starting lineup, your
club may put him out on loan to build up his skills and experience. Once he has met the
requirements, he’ll become a regular starter.
