FC 27 Future Stars Team 1 Is Live: How to Earn Rewards through New Players and Related Activities?

There are certain classic events that appear in every annual FIFA release, always offering a fresh experience through new squads, and Future Stars is one of them!

What makes this year's FIFA 27 special is the earlier-than-usual launch of Future Stars. By closely tracking the real-world performances of talented young stars, the event integrates dynamic evolutions and other innovative mechanics into FUT 27.

Below, we provide a comprehensive overview of the event, covering its core mechanics and the newly released Team 1, to ensure you get the most out of it.

Team 1 squad overview

FUT 27 Future Stars Team 1 consists of two types of players: those obtained by opening packs (15 players in total) and those unlocked by completing specific objectives.

Among these players, the most popular and highly anticipated is undoubtedly Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha. Although his OVR is slightly lower than Vicky López's, his card delivered an incredible performance in FC 26 Future Stars Academy!

The arrival of Future Stars Team 1 injects new energy into FIFA 27 card system and gameplay. Plus, the diverse range of nationalities and leagues represented makes it a real treat for specific fanbases!

Given the randomness of pack openings, if you are only targeting one or two of these 15 players, trading on the transfer market might be more efficient. If you run into difficulties, you can choose FC 27 coins for sale as a helpful option.

FC 27 Future Stars mechanics

Future Stars is essentially an evolution-based event; naturally, only players who meet specific criteria are eligible for these upgrades.

In this year's FIFA 27, the development team has bridged the virtual game with real-world competition, determining the type and extent of player evolutions based on actual on-pitch performance and position.

This tracking process began alongside the event's launch on October 9 and runs until February 3 of next year, with final evolution outcomes determined by the players' performances during this period.

To reflect the unique development paths of players based on their positions (Forwards, Midfielders, and Defenders/Goalkeepers), the system first categorizes them by position and assigns appropriate upgrade effects.

Evolution effects primarily include an OVR boost, the addition of an extra PlayStyle+, and a 5-star Weak Foot (WF)

Note that defenders or goalkeepers must make match appearances to unlock the exclusive Clean Sheets upgrade reward. If a player already possesses a PlayStyle+ or 5-star WF, the reward is substituted with a standard PlayStyle or 5-star Skill Moves (SM)

Interestingly, eligibility for these upgrades depends not on your in-game performance in FUT 27, but on the players' real-world match achievements.

This not only encourages players who typically focus solely on the game to pay attention to real-world matches (at least for the next four months) but also adds an element of unpredictability and excitement to the value fluctuations of Future Stars cards.

Future Stars Academy also returns

Future Stars Academy is another new FC 27 Evolution event; while linked to the main Future Stars campaign, it operates largely independently.

For this event, you must select a forward or attacking midfielder, born after October 9, 2003, and meeting Future Stars criteria, to join the academy and upgrade them by completing a four-stage Evolution objective path.

Each of the four stages focuses on different attributes. For instance, Stage 1 boosts the player's base pace and agility, while Stage 2 introduces a base PlayStyle to enhance their skill capabilities.

Throughout Future Stars activity, additional Future Stars Academy objectives will be released; completing them with your chosen player earns you extra rewards.

Other related events

In addition to Future Stars Academy and the main Future Stars event, FC 27 introduces several other related activities offering opportunities to unlock further rewards.

PlayStyle Lab

PlayStyle Lab launches during the second week of FC 27 Future Stars campaign. This event introduces a select group of rising UEFA stars to the lab and establishes dedicated upgrade paths for them.

New weekly live events

Throughout Future Stars campaign, in addition to the previously mentioned major and minor events, FUT 27 will regularly launch new live events each week.

We already know that Back to Basics Exhibition will launch in Week 1, requiring players to use the 4-4-2 formation. Week 2 will bring the second Ultimate Gauntlet and Flash Rush Event.

The challenge of using the 4-4-2 formation lies in having to forgo strategies like a double-CDM pivot or a lone target man, returning instead to a classic flat midfield and the coordinated movement of a two-striker partnership.

Success here requires a deep understanding of mechanics such as crossing from the flanks, central midfield runs, and the complementary playstyles of a traditional two-striker setup.

Ultimate Gauntlet is a high-difficulty gauntlet-style challenge in FIFA 27. During Future Stars event, you must use a squad featuring relevant players to rack up consecutive wins and earn rewards like high-tier packs.

As for Flash Rush, it is a fast-paced, small-scale event played under time-limited rules. The challenge lies in the rapid pace of transitions between attack and defense, making it ideal for utilizing highly agile Future Stars players.

That covers everything for now. Don't wait, start playing and earn your first batch of Future Stars players today!
