RTTK upgrade path in FC 27
EA's article says the upgrades are driven by "goals, wins, and finishing position" and run to the final game of the League phase. EA's upgrade graphics give the exact steps (confirmed):
Competition | +1 base PlayStyle | +1 to two face stats | +1 OVR |
|---|---|---|---|
Champions League | club wins 3 games | club scores in 3 games | club finishes top 8 |
Europa League | club wins 3 games | club scores in 3 games | club finishes top 8 |
Conference League | club wins 2 games | club scores in 2 games | club finishes top 8 |
Women's Champions League | club wins 2 games | club scores in 2 games | club finishes top 4 |
Every step is worded around the club, so the player does not have to play. According to FUTFC only games after release count, which leaves four for Champions League and Europa League clubs and three in the other two competitions. The two face stats follow the position: Pace and Shooting for LW, ST and RW, Passing and Dribbling for LM, CAM, CM and RM, Defending and Physical for LB, CB, CDM and RB, and Reflexes and Positioning for goalkeepers. CDM counts as a defender here, so Gravenberch and Hasegawa get Defending and Physical.
The PlayStyle and stat steps are realistic for any club that scores regularly. The +1 OVR is the hard one: a top-8 finish in a 36-team table. EA has not said when earned upgrades are applied in-game.

Note: the trackers disagree on which club the Leão, Tomori and Romero cards represent, and the club decides the path. Check the badge on the card before you buy one of them.
Which cards are worth tracking
The 91s gain the least: +1 to two face stats changes little for Dembélé, Bellingham or Pedri. The value sits with 85 to 87 cards at clubs that score in most games, such as Doku and Conceição. Conference League cards like Taha need only two wins and two scoring games.
The women's cards move first, with games on 10, 11, 18 and 19 November. The men's cards wait until 24 November. If you also hold Future Stars cards, they run on a longer clock, and our Future Stars upgrade tracker shows where each one stands.
SBC and Objective cards
Loïs Openda (85 ST, Lyon) is the first RTTK SBC, live until Friday 13 November. Emiliano Buendía (85, Aston Villa) comes from the RTTK Objectives and Aleix García (85 CM, Leverkusen) from Ultimate Gauntlet 3.
FUTFC puts the Openda SBC at around 89k coins on PlayStation. If your club cannot cover that before it expires, you can buy FC 27 coins and finish it the same evening. Calafiori, Brobbey, Nwaneri and Djaló are leaked as later SBCs.
What comes next
EA has not announced a Team 2. Hall of FUT Unleashed is next on EA's Season 2 roadmap, expected on Friday 20 November; the full order is on our FC 27 promo schedule. We update this tracker after each round of European fixtures.
