Mentors include Mbappé, Chloe Kelly, Paolo Dybala and The Journey's Alex Hunter. The mode is only available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Switch 2.
Career and Ultimate Team
The manager's career transfer market has been completely rebuilt, with player values now dependent on club finances, potential and form, and the TransferRoom platform adding dynamic bidding and new contract schemes. Ultimate Team introduces the FUT Gallery, a collectible showcase for card packs past and present, while the Hall of FUT honors the regime's iconic players: Adebayo Akinfenwu, Marouane Fellaini, Loïc Remy, Heliero Elia and Giovani dos Santos.
On the surface of the field there are dynamic corners, reworked wrestling on the second floor and smarter runs by partners. The game features over 21,000 players from 800 clubs and national teams, 35 leagues and 130 stadiums, including the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga.
