How matches work in FUT Friendlies
When you play matches in FUT Friendlies, theyโre a little different than other matches youโd play in FIFA Ultimate Team.
That means that when you play FUT Friendlies:
- Your matches donโt consume contracts or fitness on your Players
- The matches you play donโt count towards your Club record
- Injuries and red cards donโt carry over
- Loan Items wonโt be consumed.
- For example, you can use a Loan Item with 1 match remaining in a FUT Friendlies match, and it would not use their final remaining match.
Youโll still get basic match Coin rewards for all FUT Friendlies matches that you play.
FUT Friendlies match types
Want to know more about some of the different types of FUT Friendlies matches you can play in FIFA 20? Check out their descriptions here:
Classic Match
This is a traditional 11v11 match with the usual rules.
King of the Hill
In King Of The Hill, Players battle for possession inside of marked control zones. The longer a Player can maintain the ball in a control zone for, the more they can boost the number of points their next goal will be worth.
The boost will gradually reduce when a Player is not controlling the ball inside a control zone. Goals scored without any boost will not be worth any points.
There are no fouls in King Of The Hill.
Mystery Ball
Whenever the ball is out of play, a new Mystery Ball is introduced and gives the attacking side a powerful boost.
There are five Mystery Balls, which can boost sprinting, shooting, dribbling, passing, or all four at once.
Mystery Balls can also have point values between 1 and 3, meaning that some goals will be worth more points than others.
Swaps
In Swaps, both teams randomly trade 3 Players with one another for the entire match. You can identify the swapped players on the pitch by the bibs that theyโre wearing.
Scoring with a swapped Player is worth 2 points, and substitutions are unavailable.
Max Chemistry
Max Chemistry boosts all Players to 10 chemistry and all team chemistry to 100, allowing you to build squads without any negative chemistry effects.
Headers and Volleys
In Headers and Volleys, goals will only count from:
- Headers
- Volleys
- Free kicks
- Penalties
Survival
In Survival, a random Player from the scoring team gets ejected from the match, excluding the goalkeeper.
Long Range
Goals scored in Long Range matches that are inside the box will count as 1, while goals scored outside the box will count as 2.
No Rules
No Rules matches take the classic 11 v 11 game and remove offsides, fouls, and bookings.
