FC 27 PACK NAMES
Ultimate Team Pack Names follow a certain logic order.
FC 27 Pack Names
Ever looked at FC 27 pack names and thought, ‘This is confusing’? You’re not the only one.
With over 400 packs in the game, terms like Mixed, Premium, Prime, and Electrum can start to blend together. The long names often sound similar, making it easy to feel lost. But what do these labels actually mean?
To make matters trickier, EA keeps expanding the pack lineup, making it harder to remember the contents of each pack. While our packs database is always a helpful reference, understanding the logic behind the names makes it much easier. Keep reading, and you’ll discover that FC 27 pack names aren’t as complex as they appear.
Comprehending Pack Names
With so many terms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but FC 27 pack names actually follow a clear logical structure. Let’s start with the basics: every name ends with ‘pack’. While this might seem obvious, it’s worth pointing out, as it helps reveal other patterns.
To make things easier, let’s break down the structure of any Ultimate Team pack name. Each name can include up to four words before ‘pack’, with each word representing four distinct categories, arranged in a specific sequence. We’ll explain each category below:
- Pack Size;
- Quantity of Rare Items;
- Quality of Items;
- Category of Items.
Pack Size
By definition, a basic pack contains 12 items, and there’s a reason for this. Beyond being a convenient number of cards, 12 is divisible by multiple numbers (2, 3, 4, 6). This is important because new pack types will eventually be introduced, and the total number of items or rare items can be calculated as fractions of 12.
Generally, relative to the size/amount of cards inside, the packs can be classified as:
Normal 12
Pack that consists of twelve items, the standard amount.
In these situations, the pack’s name carries no information relative to size, which means that this first category is omitted.
Examples: Gold Players Pack, Consumables Pack, Premium Electrum Players Pack.
Mini 4
Pack that consists of four items, one-third of the standard amount.
Examples: 86+ Star Player Mini Pack.
Small 6
Pack that consists of six cards, half the normal amount.
In these situations, the pack’s name always starts with ‘Small’.
Examples: Small Rare Gold Players Pack, Small Prime Silver Players Pack, Small Gold Pack.
Jumbo 24
Pack that consists of twenty-four items, double the standard amount. In these situations, the pack’s name always starts with ‘Jumbo’. Examples: Jumbo Gold Players Pack, Jumbo Silver Pack, Jumbo Rare Players Pack.
Mega or Ultimate 30
Pack that consists of thirty items. It’s one of the biggest UT packs.
Examples: Ultimate Pack, Mega Pack, Rare Mega Pack.
Every rule has an exception, and that also happens with pack sizes. Although they seem rare, there are packs with 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, 26 and even more cards inside. Don’t worry because most of them are very easy to identify since they’ll always carry some reference of the number of cards inside the name: Two Rare Gold Players Pack, Gold 13 Pack, or 100 Players Pack are a few examples.
Quantity of Rare Items
By definition, a basic pack consists of only one rare card. However, this number can be higher in some cases, and certain packs may consist exclusively of rare players (the more expensive ones, of course).
Generally, based on the number of rare cards inside, the packs can be classified as follows:
Normal 1
The number of rare items inside depends on the pack’s size: one for normal or small packs, and three for jumbo packs.
In these situations, the pack’s name does not indicate the number of rare cards inside, meaning this category is omitted.
Examples: Bronze Pack, Gold Players Pack, Small Silver Players Pack.
Premium 1/3
The number of rare items inside depends on the pack’s size: three for normal packs, and seven for jumbo packs.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Premium’. Packs from special offers may also use the term ‘Premium’ to refer to something of higher quality, like Premium Loan Player Packs or Premium Coins Packs.
Examples: Premium Gold Pack, Jumbo Premium Gold Pack, Premium Mixed Players Pack.
Prime 1/2
The number of rare items inside equals half of the pack’s size (or total number of cards).
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Prime’.
Examples: Prime Silver Players Pack, Small Prime Gold Players Pack, Prime Electrum Players Pack.
Rare all
All items in the pack are rare, meaning the number of rare items inside equals the pack’s total number of cards.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Rare’.
Examples: Rare Silver Pack, Rare Players Pack, Small Rare Mixed Players Pack.
As you’ve noticed, a pack will never have more than one name of the same category. That’s why you’ll never see packs called ‘Rare Premium’ or ‘Prime Rare-something’, for example.
If you’re an observant player, you may have noticed there aren’t any ‘Small Premium’ packs. The reason is simple: they are the same as the ‘Small Prime’ ones. Let’s think about it: if a Premium Pack has 12 cards and 3 are rare, a Small Premium pack would have the same number of rare cards, but with only 6 cards in total. Since Prime Packs are known for having 50% rare cards, there are already three rare cards inside.
Quality of Items
All FC 27 cards are sorted by quality: gold, silver, and bronze. Packs are classified according to the quality of the items they contain, and some packs have specific names when they include multiple item qualities.
Generally, the packs can be classified by the quality of the cards inside as follows:
Gold all
A pack that contains exclusively gold items. The name of the pack will always include the term ‘Gold’.
Examples: Gold Pack, Small Rare Gold Players Pack, Premium Gold Players Pack.
Silver all
A pack that contains exclusively silver items. The name of the pack will always include the term ‘Silver’.
Examples: Silver Pack, Silver Gift Pack, Small Silver Pack.
Bronze all
A pack that contains exclusively bronze items. The name of the pack will always include the term ‘Bronze’.
Examples: Bronze Pack, Bronze Players Pack, Rare Bronze Players Pack.
Mixed 1/3
A pack that contains items from all qualities, divided equally. The name of the pack will always include the term ‘Mixed’.
Examples: Mixed Players Pack, Rare Mixed Players Pack, Premium Mixed Players Pack.
Electrum 1/3
A pack that contains both gold and silver items in equal proportions, with no bronze items. The name of the pack will always include the term ‘Electrum’.
Examples: Small Electrum Players Pack, Small Rare Electrum Players Pack, Prime Electrum Players Pack.
Unlike the other categories, there will always be a reference to quality in the name of the pack.
Category of Items
There are five types of items in FC 27 Ultimate Team: players, staff, consumables, vanity, and club items. Some packs are classified according to the category of cards inside.
Generally, relative to the types of items inside, the packs can be classified as:
Normal all
Pack that consists of a mixture of all categories.
In these situations, the pack’s name carries no information relative to the types of cards inside. Therefore this fourth pack category is omitted.
Examples: Gold Pack, Premium Gold Players Pack.
Players 1
Pack that consists exclusively of player items.
In these situations, the name of the pack always includes the term ‘Players’.
Examples: Silver Players Pack, Small Mixed Players Pack, and Rare Players Pack.
Consumables 1
Pack that consists exclusively of consumable items, including manager league and healing cards.
Examples: Consumables Pack, Rare Consumables Pack.
As you can see, there are only three groups. No packs consist exclusively of staff, vanity, or club items.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, an Ultimate Team pack name follows a logical sequence of four categories: pack size, quantity, quality, and item type.
Sure, let’s look at the Small Prime Electrum Players Pack. The four categories we discussed appear here in the correct order. First is the size: Small, which means the pack contains six items. Prime indicates that half of them are rare, so there are three rare items and three regular ones. Electrum shows a mix of gold and silver items, with three of each. Finally, Players tells us the pack contains only player cards. What seems like a complex name becomes simple to understand: six players, half rare, three gold, and three silver.
Next, consider the Rare Gold Pack. Here, the size (first category) isn’t mentioned, so it defaults to a standard 12-item pack. The terms Gold and Rare indicate that all 12 items are rare and gold. Since the item type (fourth category) isn’t specified, the pack includes a mix of rare gold players, staff, consumables, stadiums, and vanity items.
