Now, if you’re not just looking to trade them in for a better card, you might be wondering if any of these are better in terms of stats. That’s not the case objectively since all of them are 85 OVR. However, some cards may benefit you more than others due to factors like playstyles and better stat spreads.

Remember, we talked about Base Hero Al Owairan at 266K? Well, that’s not just because his card looks flashy. Base Hero cards are generally better for gameplay since they have more playstyles and better attributes. While the overall stat spread might look the same, it’s the little changes that count.

Right now, the best 85-rated cards in FUT are Base Hero Seydou Doumbia, Base Hero Al Owairan, Base Hero Yao Kouassi, and Base Hero Victor Ibarbo. All of these cards are 200K+ and require serious commitment if you’re opting for them.
