EA FC 27 FUT Gallery: How Does It Work, and How Do You Get Higher Grades?

EA FC 27 Ultimate Team will introduce the brand-new FUT Gallery system. Unlike the previous Collection Book, which was more focused on keeping track of collections, FUT Gallery not only allows you to display Player Cards but also introduces a new rating system.

You need to build your squad according to different collection requirements, unlock higher grades, and redeem brand-new rewards.

Next, this guide will explain the collection methods, rating system, Gallery Tokens, and new special cards in FC 27 FUT Gallery.

FUT Gallery

FUT Gallery can be understood as a new system built around collecting and displaying Player Cards. It includes Leagues, Rarities, Custom, and Campaign, with more content expected to be added to FC 27 later.

After collecting cards according to the requirements of FUT 27, you can place them into the corresponding Gallery set for evaluation. FUT Gallery will give set a D, C, B, A, or S grade, and you need to improve your card combinations to increase set's overall score.

FUT Gallery also provides Custom sets, which are designed somewhat like a 3D display space. They allow you to view Foundation Cards, Holographics, and other Player Cards. You can place cards in the custom display and arrange them however you like.

However, FIFA 27 3D Gallery environment is only available on current Gen platforms. Old Gen platforms such as PS4 and Xbox One cannot use this display feature.

Rating

FUT Gallery rating system mainly consists of Base grade, Bonus grade, and overall score. The exact score depends on the player's rating, card type, and league. Additional bonuses can come from conditions such as Same League, Same Club, Same Nation, First Owner, and Team of the Week.

If you use only regular FUT 27 Gold Cards in a set, you may only achieve a D grade. Adding Team of the Week, Player of the Month, or other special cards can give the set a chance to reach a B grade.

Different rarities of EA FC 27 cards also provide different amounts of points. Silver Cards have a relatively fixed value, with each Silver Card providing 35 Gems regardless of its specific rating.

 Although numerous Bronze Cards can be used to complete a set, they are unlikely to push set to a high grade. To achieve a higher rating, you still need to invest higher-value Player Cards.

Gallery sets are not permanently locked, and grade you receive is not the final result. For example, if you complete a set with regular Gold Cards and receive a lower grade, you can later obtain Team of the Week version of the same player using FUT 27 coins and replace the original Gold Card to increase set's score again.

As FIFA 27 continues to progress and the quality of players in your club improves, previously completed Gallery sets can also continue to be upgraded. Content collected early in the game will not lose its value simply because a set has already been completed once.

Gallery Tokens

Gallery Tokens are the core rewards of FUT Gallery. They can be exchanged in Gallery Token Store for Hall of FUT players, kits, badges, and other Gallery Items.

After completing a Gallery set, the system will award a corresponding grade based on your current score. The higher the grade, the more gallery tokens you can earn, and the better the rewards you can redeem. 

In FC 27, completing Premier League-related collections and reaching A grade can give you the chance to earn enough Tokens to unlock Hall of FUT players such as Theo Walcott.

The unlock requirements may vary between players. Some may be related to completion progress in specific leagues, while others may require a certain number of Gallery Tokens. The exact number of Tokens required still needs to be confirmed after FIFA 27 officially launches.

The brand-new One to Watch Cosmetics in EA FC 27 may also be unlocked through Gallery. One to Watch players can receive upgrades based on their performances during the season.

For example, earning Player of the Month, Team of the Week, or Star Performance may provide a +1 rating upgrade. If the player's team wins three out of six matches, an additional +1 upgrade may also be triggered.

EA has stated that Gallery Token Store content will rotate throughout the season. New players, cosmetics, or other rewards may be added later. The overall design is somewhat similar to Token Store system in FC 26, but FC 27 places more emphasis on earning Tokens by collecting cards and improving grades of Gallery sets.

Special Cards

Holographic Cards

The highest FUT Gallery grade, S grade, is closely connected to the new Holographic Cards introduced in FUT 27. Holographic Cards feature a unique holographic design with a player signature element. Visually, they resemble Team of the Week cards with a special signature effect and are expected to be extremely rare, requiring a significant amount of FC coins.

Each eligible FIFA 27 Player Card will have only one Holographic version, while Pristine represents a higher-spec Holographic version that is associated with First Owner status and higher grades, providing a greater impact on Gallery set scores.

The importance of Holographic Cards mainly comes from their large bonus in Gallery sets. A single Holographic Card can provide a score value of 25,000 Gems. For sets aiming for the highest grades, this bonus is considerable.

Golden Cards

In addition to Holographic Cards, FC 27 introduces another special card type called Golden Cards. Golden Cards have the same player rating as the original Gold Card but allow the player to have 5-star skill moves and a 5-star weak foot.

This effect has significant value in Ultimate Team matches, so Golden Cards are also expected to be extremely rare. The exact acquisition method has not yet been fully confirmed and may be related to FUT Gallery or SBC system.

The addition of FUT Gallery to EA FC 27 means that collecting Player Cards is no longer simply about completing a collection book. For players who enjoy collecting special cards, deciding how to combine cards and which rare versions to keep will become an important part of FUT 27.
