FUT 23 PACK NAMES
FUT 23 pack names follow a certain logic order.
FUT Pack Names
Have you ever looked at FUT 23 pack names and thought to yourself ‘well, this is confusing’? Of course you have, we’ve all been there.
It’s easy to get lost by such long names that often seem so alike. After all, there are almost 300 packs in the game, and there’s always something like Mixed, Premium, Prime or Electrum in the name. But what the hell do these things mean?
As if that wasn’t already enough, EA continue to grow the family and it’s getting harder and harder for anyone to recall what each pack includes. You can always visit our packs database, but wouldn’t it be nice to know the reason behind each one of the names? Keep reading and you’ll realise FUT 23 pack names are really not as complex as they seem.
Comprehending Pack Names
There are so many terms that it is normal to be confused about, but the truth is that the FUT 23 pack names follow a particular logical order. Let’s start with the obvious: all terms end in ‘pack’. We don’t even need to mention this, but perhaps it will help you to open your eyes and look for other patterns.
Let’s make your job easier and tell you how is composed any FUT pack name. They can have up to four words preceding the ‘pack’, corresponding to
- Pack Size;
- Quantity of Rare Items
- Quality of Items;
- Category of Items.
Pack Size
By definition, a basic pack consists of 12 items. And there’s a reason for that. Besides being a good amount of cards, 12 is divisible by many numbers (2, 3, 4, 6). It is essential since new types of packs will eventually be created, and the total amount of items and / or rare ones available in them can be calculated using fractions of 12.
Generally, relatively 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 the biggest FUT pack.
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, and 26 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 Jumbo Premium Gold 26 Pack are a few examples.
Quantity of Rare Items
By definition, a basic pack consists of only one rare card. However, this number may be higher in some cases, and some packs will consist exclusively of rare players (the most expensive ones, of course).
Generally, relatively to the number of rare cards inside, the packs can be classified as:
Normal 1
The amount of rare items inside depends on the pack’s size: one for normal or small packs; three for jumbo packs.
In these situations, the pack’s name carries no information relative to the number of rare cards inside, which means that this second category is omitted.
Examples: Bronze Pack, Gold Players Pack, Small Silver Players Pack.
Premium 1/3
The amount of rare items inside still depends on the pack’s size: three for normal packs; 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’ referring 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 amount of rare items inside equals half the pack’s size/total amount 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
The number of rare items inside equals the pack’s size/total number of cards, which means that all items are rare. 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’ve also noticed there aren’t any Small Premium ones. The reason is simple: they’re the same as the Small Prime ones. Haven’t you seen it? Let’s think: if a Premium Pack has 12 cards and 3 of them are rare, a Small Premium one would have the same number of rare cards with just six in the total. Since Prime Packs are known for having 50% of rare cards, there are three rare ones in them already.
Quality of Items
All the FIFA 23 cards are associated with one quality: gold, silver, and bronze. The packs are also classified according to the quality of the players inside. Also, the packs can receive another specific name if there are more than one quality items inside.
Generally, relatively to the quality of the cards inside, the packs can be classified as:
Gold all
Pack that consists exclusively of gold items.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Gold’.
Examples: Gold Pack, Gold Contracts Pack, Premium Gold Players Pack.
Silver all
Pack that consists exclusively of silver items.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Silver’.
Examples: Silver Pack, Silver Gift Pack, Small Silver Silver Pack.
Bronze all
Pack that consists exclusively of bronze items.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Bronze’.
Examples: Bronze Pack, Bronze Players Pack, Rare Bronze Players Pack.
Mixed 1/3
Pack that has items of all qualities divided equally.
In these situations, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Mixed’.
Examples: Mixed Players Pack, Rare Mixed Players Pack, Premium Mixed Players Pack.
Electrum 1/3
Pack that has gold and silver items divided equally. There are no bronze items.
In these situations, the name of the pack always includes the term ‘Electrum’.
Examples: Small Electrum Players Pack, Small Rare Electrum Players Pack, Prime Electrum Players Pack.
Different from the other categories, there must always be a reference to quality on the pack’s name.
Category of Items
As you probably know, there are five types of items in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: players, staff, consumables, vanity, and club items. Some packs are classified according to the category of cards inside.
Generally, relatively 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, Gold Contracts 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 contracts and healing cards. Some packs consist exclusively of contracts.
In the first situation, the pack’s name always includes the term ‘Consumables’. In the second situation, it always includes the term ‘Contracts’.
Examples: Gold Contracts Pack, Consumables Pack, Mixed Contracts 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, a FUT 23 pack name follows a logical order of four categories: pack size, quantity, quality, and category items.
Sure. Let’s start with the Small Prime Electrum Players Pack. The four categories we’ve talked about are being used here in the correct order. First, we have the size: Small, which means it has six items. Prime indicates that half of them are rare; so it has three rare items and three regular ones. Electrum means there will be gold and silver items, three of each. Finally, the term Players makes it a valuable pack because it’s exclusively made of players. Immediately a seemingly complicated name turns into something you can easily visualize: six players, half rare, three gold ones, and three silver ones.
Let’s take a look at another example: the Rare Gold Pack. As you can see, the size (the first category) isn’t mentioned here. Therefore we can say it’s a standard size pack of 12 items. In addition, the terms Gold and Rare indicate that all cards will be rare and gold. However, there’s no reference to which type of items will be inside (the fourth category). That means the twelve rare items inside will include players, staff, consumables, stadium, and vanity items.
