ACCESS
To access FUT Friendlies, you just need to go to the ‘Play’ tab and select ‘FUT Friendlies’.
HOW MATCHES WORK IN FUT FRIENDLIES
When you play matches in FUT Friendlies, they’re a little different than other matches you’d play in FIFA Ultimate Team. That means that when you play FUT Friendlies:
– Your matches don’t consume contracts on your Players;
– The matches you play don’t count towards your Club record;
– Injuries and red cards don’t carry over;
– Loan Items won’t be consumed. For example, you can use a Loan Item with 1 match remaining in a FUT Friendlies match, and it would not use their final remaining match;
– You’ll still get basic match Coin rewards for all FUT Friendlies matches that you play.
STATS
Maintain ultimate bragging rights with an in-depth stats tracking system that records a range of statistics from the head-to-head matches you play. Use the stats to analyze and refine your game plan, tweak your pre-game tactics, and prepare for every match. With a host of detailed, immersive information, FIFA 21 allows you to approach every match just like you would an actual game of football, utilizing tactics and strategies gleaned from your stats. Tracked Stats include wins, losses, draws, win %, goals scored, goals allowed, goal differential, goal types (inside box, outside the box, penalties, free kicks), goal heatmap on net, shot on target %, total shots on target, total shots, average possession %, average possession % in areas and pass % completion. In addition to keeping track of the scores, new opposition scouting reports help you identify where you might find gaps in your friend’s style of play.

A control zone will spawn in the attacking zone which you will have to get the ball inside and then continue to control it as the space shrinks and your goal meter starts to fill. The boost will gradually reduce when a Player is not controlling the ball inside a control zone. Goals scored without any boost will not be worth any points.

Each time the ball goes out of play, it can return as a new ‘Mystery Ball’ giving a powerful boost to the attacking side.

Mystery Ball brings the element of surprise each time the ball leaves play as it comes in as a new mystery ball type. Whenever the ball is out of play, a new Mystery Ball is introduced and gives the attacking side a powerful boost. Each ball has a custom goal value that ranges from 1-3 goals, meaning that some goals will be worth more points than others, and boosts the player in possession with over the top effects that take their Shooting, Dribbling, Passing, Sprint Speed, or all four at once, which brings each of the other effects at the same time. Each game of Mystery Ball will be totally random.

Three players will be randomly swapped with your opponents before tha match. Scoring with a swapped player is worth 2.

In Swaps, at the start of each game, both teams randomly trade 3 Players with one another for the entire match. You can identify the swapped players on the pitch by the bibs that they’re wearing. Will you get your opponents best 3 and replace them with some of your bronze starters? Or will you just get to experience what it’s like to play with some different players you have never used before? You could gain your opponent’s star player, but also lose yours. As an additional benefit, if you manage to score on your friend with one of their players you’ll be awarded 2 points for that goal. Exclusively in FUT, Swaps doesn’t allow substitutions. It brings a team building twist to the match and some fun opportunities to use your friends’ players against them.
