EA Sports FC 27 is now in early access, which means players are already building their first Ultimate Team squads and testing this year’s new systems. FUT Gallery, Campaign Center and updated Evolutions are among the features that can shape how quickly you build your club. So, what should you do first in FC 27 Ultimate Team? Which activities are worth prioritizing before spending your first coins?

What Should You Do First in FC 27 Ultimate Team?

Before heading straight to the Transfer Market, check every reward and pack already available in your club. Depending on your edition, pre-order bonuses and previous FC activity, you may start with additional players, packs or other rewards. These can give you enough resources to build a playable team without spending much at the beginning.

A good starting order is:

1. Open your launch rewards and available packs.
2. Complete beginner objectives for easy rewards.
3. Build a usable squad from the players already in your club.
4. Keep low-rated players that may be useful for SBCs.
5. Check the Campaign Center for active objectives, Evolutions and events.
6. Play a few matches before spending coins on upgrades.

It is usually better to identify the weak points in your squad before buying several new players at once. Your first coins are limited, so spending them on one or two important positions can be more effective than rebuilding the entire team immediately.

How to Build Your First FC 27 Ultimate Team Squad

Overall rating is not the only thing that matters when building a starter squad. Pace, defensive attributes, PlayStyles and the role a player performs in your system can have a much bigger impact during matches. A lower-rated player who fits your formation may be more useful than a higher-rated card that does not suit your style.

Chemistry should also be part of your early squad planning. Building around players from the same league, nation or club can make it much easier to reach strong chemistry without constantly replacing players. For beginners, focusing on one major league or a small group of connected leagues can make squad building much simpler.

Make Use of FC 27’s New Ultimate Team Features

The new Campaign Center brings several Ultimate Team activities together in one place. Objectives, SBCs, Evolutions, Gallery Sets and Live Events can all be tracked more easily, which makes it useful when deciding what to work on next.

The FUT Gallery also adds another reason not to immediately discard every player you are not using. Players that pass through your club can contribute to Gallery Sets, while Evolutions may turn certain lower-rated cards into useful long-term options. Checking these systems before using a card in an SBC can help you avoid wasting potential upgrades.

FC 27’s first season starts with an Ones to Watch theme, with additional rewards available through objectives, the Season Pass and other Ultimate Team activities. Building your squad with free rewards first and using the Transfer Market later can make your starting budget last much longer. Which league are you using for your first FC 27 Ultimate Team squad?
