If you are new to FUT or if you are not used to the FIFA 20 Web and Companion Apps, maybe you need an extra help to understand how they work. This tutorial is everything you need to start mastering these apps.
FIFA 20 Web and Companion Apps
What these apps do and how to access them?
The FUT Web App and the FUT Companion App are online extensions where you can manage your FUT club via PC and mobile devices, respectively. It is a faster and more comfortable way to search for, sell and buy cards. We already published an extensive guide about these apps. They have both the same features, so we will now explain step by step how to use them.
To access the FIFA 20 Web App, just follow this link. Be aware to only trust web app links from the official EA SPORTS domain names. You can also install the Companion App on your mobile device searching for ‘EA SPORTS FIFA 20 Companion’ on the Google Store or App Store.
Login Verification is a mandatory step before you can access the FIFA 20 Web App. If you never activated, just go to your Origin account here and enable it. Then, just confirm the email or sms they have sent to you, verify your FIFA Ultimate Team Secret question and answer and store your codes in a safe place. As simple as that. If you already did it in the past, all will need is your EA account email address, password and answer to your secret question.
FIFA 20 Web and Companion App early access, also know by FUT Webstart, was only available for returned players. It means that only players who have created a security question/answer before August 1st 2019 were able to use it. This early access expired on October 10.

3 TEAM OF THE WEEK
It lists every single TOTW since the game was released. Here you can see the details of each player including their prices on the transfer market.
The Active Squad screen is the most important one and for that reason we will take a closer look.
The squad’s menu allows you to manage everything related to squads. You can see in the picture its three main areas:
1 MAIN AREA
This is where you actually ‘see’ your squad: how your players link each other, the formation you are using and also your manager, rating, team’s and individual chemistry. Clicking on the change item view, you can also know more about each player. The substitutes and the reserves are hidden in the bottom of the screen.
2 SQUAD DETAILS
It allows you to change the formation of your squad, rename it, share it or use the squad builder to create the best squad possible from players in your club using pre-set options.
3 PLAYER DETAILS
When you click in a player, Squad Details are replaced by Player Details. From here, you can make many changes to your team, including listing players on the transfer market, checkng their bio and discarding them. More important than that, you can swap the players from your starting eleven, substitutes and reserves by any other player you own. It is also possible to apply them consumables, like contracts, fitness and healing items.
SBC’s Menu
A different way to play FUT
The SBC’s menu allows you to complete every single challenge released in the game. You can see in the picture its two main areas:

With dozens of challenges to complete, EA has provided a navigation bar that allows you to find more easily the SBC you want to do.

From there, you can make a bid, buy instantly or add a card to your watch list.

Looking for luck
The store’s menu allows you to buy packs. You can pay with both coins or FIFA Points (these ones are only sold on the store’s console). You can see in the picture its two main areas:

Club’s Menu
Your inventory
The club’s menu allows you to visualize and interact with all your cards: players, consumables, staff, kits, badges, balls and stadiums.
In the case of players, you will find stored here all the cards you own but which you are not using in any of your squads (the ones you are using can also be found here). Directly from the Club’s screen you can, for example, extend the contract of one of your players or change the active stadium, ball or stadium.
Leaderboards Menu
Who is the best player?
The leaderboard menu is an informative screen created to improve the competition on FUT. It doesn’t have nothing to do with the FUT Champions leaderboards, which are not available on the web and companion apps. You can see in the picture its two main areas:
1 CATEGORIES
There are four rankings in FUT leaderboards and you can navigate between them using these buttons: match earnings (total coins earned from matches); transfer profit (coin profits from purchases, sales and discards); club value (total value of all players in your club); and top squad (combined chemistry and rating scores of your best squad).
2 LEADERBOARDS
Table featuring the best players for each ranking in each week, month or of all-time. They are identified by their online ID. You can compare yourself with your friends, changing from ‘Top 100’ to ‘Friends’.
Settings Menu
Your choices
The settings button is placed in the left lower corner of the app window. There are a few features here, like having access to the user agreement and to the privacy and cookie policy, but the most improtant ones are these two:
1 LANGUAGE SELECTION
It changes the language of the whole app. You can choose between English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic, Russian and Turkish.
2 PERSONA
When you click on the ‘Change’ button (right upper corner), you are able to change between different personas associated to your account. Changing a persona will not cause you to lose any of your FUT data.
Quick Sell Recovery
New Feature
If you’ve quick sold, also known as discarded, a Player Item in FIFA Ultimate Team and want to get it back, you can use Quick Sell Recovery in the FIFA Web and Companion Apps to get it back.
In order to undo a quick sell, you’ll need to the same Coin amount on your account that you got from the initial quick sell. That means if you got 500 Coins from quick selling a Player, you’ll need to have 500 Coins on your account to be deducted once you get the Player back.
How does it work
1) Log in to the FIFA Web or Companion App.
2) Select Club.
3) Select Quick Sell Recovery.
4) Use the calendar icon to find the day you quick sold the Item you want to get back.
5) Select the Player Item you want to recover.
6) Select Recover. The Item you restore will go back to your Unassigned, and we’ll deduct the Coins that you had gotten when you quick sold it initially.
What are the Limitations
– Only Player Items are recoverable. All other Items cannot be recovered once they’re quick sold.
– You have 7 days from the time you quick sell an Item to recover it.
– Quick Sell Recovery is only available in the Web and Companion Apps, so you can only use it for the current version of FIFA.
– If you delete your Club and create a new one, you cannot recover Player Items from your old Club in Quick Sell Recovery.
– By default, you can undo five quick sells per 31 day period. Check the Web or Companion Apps to see how many quick sells you have left to recover at any given time.
– You cannot undo quick sells for Loan Player Items.
– If you do not use your five recoveries, they do not roll over to the next 31-day period.
