The EA FC 24 FUTTIES promo is in its first week, and plenty of players are packing unique cards from packs.
A significant highlight of this promo is the re-release of older special cards. There are 125 such items available in packs, in addition to the FUTTIES team 1 promo items. Naturally, the chances of packing a special card from packs increase significantly due to this. With the return of a certain SBC, you can infinitely recycle your fodder and secure some high-rated promo cards.
How to infinite grind packs during the EA FC 24 FUTTIES promo
For next week, the 82+ Player Pick SBC will be available on Ultimate Team. This SBC requires eight Gold cards, where a minimum of two have to be rare. In exchange, you get a pick between three options, all rated 82 or higher. This SBC can be done for unlimited times as long as you supply the fodder.
Here’s the method I use. The main objective is to get at least an 85+ player, as they can then be exchanged for a pack of seven Gold cards (five common and two rare). Packing an 85-rated player is almost break-even, as you invest eight Golds (six common and two rare). Packing 86 or higher means that you earn back more cards than what you invest; let’s not forget that the cards you earn back could feature a promo item.
The idea is to put the 85+ cards into different exchanges, which you get from the 82+ Player Pick SBC. Then, you open the exchange packs and exchange any 85+ items for further Exchange SBCs. All the lower-rated fodder can be used in the 82+ Player Pick SBC.
That’s how simple it is. Of course, you’ll need a few sets of packs and a few high-rated fodder to begin. There are plenty of objectives available in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team that you could complete for these starter resources.
Here’s one image from my personal run, where I completed and opened ten 82+ Player Pick SBCs in a row.

This was one of the weakest set of 10s that I completed, with just five cards over 85. However, I still got back more than half of the invested number of items, and also received two more promo cards from the earned packs.
Here’s the image of a far better run of 11 82+ Player Pick SBCs.

Then there are some crazy mini-runs like the following image.

Now there will be times when you won’t find something good from the picks. Additionally, do keep in mind that this method doesn’t account for the cards you could use in other content like the Kaka Icon SBC or the Loftus-Cheek FUTTIES SBC.
Also, make sure to complete the Daily Bronze, Silver, and Gold Upgrades in EA FC 24, as they will supply you with more fodder for the 82+ Player Pick SBCs. To wrap up, here’s a quick TL:DR –
- Open packs. Put any card rated 85 or higher into exchanges.
- Put all gold cards rated 84 or lower into 82+ Player Pick SBC.
- Open the picks, and put all cards rated 85+ back into exchanges to earn more packs.
- Open those packs again.
Make sure to use the 83 and 84-rated cards into other SBCs like the 83+ TOTW Player Pick.
