EA revises upgrade costs for all 13 FC 27 archetypes
All 87 AP pricing changes by archetype, new specialization requirements, the point reset and EA compensation.
EA announced attribute pricing changes for Clubs and The Grounds. The update affects 87 attributes across 13 archetypes, plus requirements for four specializations.
The developers explained that some attributes had been assigned to the wrong pricing tiers. The changes aim to emphasise archetype strengths: core attributes become more affordable, while upgrades outside an archetype's focus cost more.
How to read the new prices
The cost of a point depends on the attribute's pricing tier and current rating. The difference may be small at low ratings and much larger near 99.
The tables show one upgrade: 75 → 76, 85 → 86 and 90 → 91. Each example lists old and new AP costs separately. This is the cost of one point, not the entire upgrade to that rating.
Green marks a decrease and red an increase. A dash means the archetype's starting rating is already above the example, making that step unavailable.
EA published the direction of the changes. Exact pricing tiers come from a community breakdown and are used to calculate these examples.
Changes by archetype
Finishing, Reactions, Composure and Volleys become cheaper. Pace, Agility and Dribbling require noticeably more points.

Specialization requirement changes
Attacking Positioning is removed from four specializations' requirements. A different attribute at the same 90 rating replaces it.
Scroll horizontally to see all columns →
| Archetype and specialization | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| – Joker | Attacking Positioning 90 | Curve 90 |
| – Invader | Attacking Positioning 90 | Sprint Speed 90 |
| – Hunter | Attacking Positioning 90 | Balance 90 |
| – Runner | Attacking Positioning 90 | Aggression 90 |
The other requirements stay the same. Attacking Positioning remains an attribute in the game.
AP reset and compensation
EA scheduled the update and allocated-point reset by 22 October, 12:00 Moscow time. Each archetype's level and total AP are retained; only upgrades need to be allocated again.
Players who had already created a Pro were promised:
- 5,000 club coins.
- A 1.75× AXP multiplier for six matches.
Once new pricing applies, an existing build may need a different allocation: savings in some attributes may not offset increases elsewhere.
