Forming of the team | FIFA Ultimate Team FIFA 14 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

FIFA Ultimate Team is the most popular mode available in the game. Apart from a standard game, it also offers several elements which make the whole more interesting. The most important of these elements is the option to form your own team, which you then will be able to lead to the champion league.

One of the most important tasks ahead of you is to position your players on their nominal positions. Next to the card slots, there are the names of the zones (e.g. CAM, CF or DM), which change depending on the formation. The same markings can be also found on the cards themselves. Each one of the players is matched with a position where he plays best. You can change using special disposable cards. Matching a player with the position in which he plays is depicted with the red dot directly below that player's card. There are the levels of match:

- green corresponds to a perfect match and guarantees the highest possible bonus to teamwork.

- orange corresponds to a position similar to the nominal one. The player receives a lower bonus to teamwork.

- red corresponds to a mismatched position and the player receives no bonus

Then, you should focus on successive increasing of teamwork within the team. The quality of teamwork is reflected by means of lines that connect individual cards. There are three connection-forming parameters, and at least one parameter must be identical fir cards placed in neighboring slots. Just like in the case of the players' positions, teamwork is color-coded:

- green lines refer to the maximum bonus to teamwork. To create such a connection, you need to match two or three parameters. Therefore, it is enough for the players to play for the same team and their league and the club match automatically. It is also permissible to play in different clubs, as long as it is in the same league and country.

- orange lines refer to partial teamwork and you can receive it with, at least, one parameter matched.

- red lines means that there are no bonuses to the teamwork involved and mismatched parameters.

In the upper-left corner of the screen, you can change the mode in which the cards are displayed. This way, all of the information that you need is contained on one screen. Apart from that, there are two more icons to appear on the cards.

The first one refers to the loyalty bonus and the second one - manager bonus. Unlike the connections and positions in the field, these here may only come in two colors. Green that refers to the bonus being granted, and white when you do not meet the requirements to receive it. All the cards that have been drawn by you in the packs, receive loyalty bonus automatically. To receive this bonus, you need to play, at least, 10 games in your team.

<br>The players of the same nationality as the manager, and who play in the same league, in which the team led by him plays, receive another bonus to teamwork.
