In FIFA Ultimate Team there are several types of cards:
Player cards
The most popular type of cards is, of course, the cards featuring the players. You can obtain them in packs and in auctions. It is easy to figure out that they have different colors. The basic ones can be brown, silver, and gold but, EA often surprises players with special cards. Then, you can also find orange, blue or purple cards in the packs. Each week, several players make it into, the so called, team of the week, and black cards, called by many the IF (In Form) cards, make it into the deck. All of the colors, different from the basic cards, guarantee that the card is much more expensive in the transfer market. Some of the cards may have gloss, which additionally increases their value even in the case of a quick sale. They are called the rare cards.
Disposable cards
Holding a few types of cards is requisite for the upkeep of the team. In the disposable cards, you can find contracts as well as cards that heal injuries of your players. If your team has run out of steam, you can draw, or purchase a card that can be used to improve on the condition of your team, or of individual players, to the maximum. This type of cards also include the disposable ones that increase the players' skills. Depending on the card, they increase the number of days in which the contract remains effective, the amount of healed injuries and bonuses for skills. In FIFA 14, there have also playing styles been added. This will be described in detail further in this guide.
<br>Club cards
This type of cards may provide your team with an emblem, stripes and the stadium of your favorite football team. You also have the option to choose the ball type but, all of the changes are optional and they do not provide additional profits.
Employee cards
Some of the cards have a minimal bearing on the characteristics of your players. Such are the employee cards, thanks to which you can add coaches, and physiotherapists to your team. Also here, you can find managers that have bearing on the teamwork within your team. It is worth noting that the managers also require contract renewals.
