Frequently asked questions

Where do the ratings and values come from?
From public community datasets derived from SoFIFA — the same source most Career Mode players already use. Each game version states which dataset and which date at the bottom of every page. They are not official EA data, and this site does not read anything out of the game.
Are the growth curves real, or estimated?
Estimated. The season-by-season projection on each player page is this site's own model, calculated from the player's age and the potential he has left. Growth type — explosive, early, normal, slow, late, constant — is inferred from those same two numbers. No public dataset publishes either, so treat them as a guide to when the growth arrives, not as a value taken from the game.
What does growth (+Δ) mean?
Potential minus current overall: the rating points a player still has left to gain. A 65-rated 17-year-old with 87 potential has +22, which is what you are actually buying. It is the single most useful number in a Career Mode signing, and the one Ultimate Team sites never show.
When will FC 27 data be added?
The day EA publishes the official FC 27 ratings. Until then FC 27 runs on placeholder players, and every screen in that version says so. Nothing about FC 27 on this site should be used to plan a save yet.
Why does FC 25 have no free agents list, and no attribute charts?
Because the public FC 25 dataset does not contain them. It gives every player a club, so there are no free agents to list, and its attribute columns are empty, so the radar is hidden rather than drawn as a flat shape. Ratings, potential, values, wages, clauses and contracts are all there and all real.
Is it free? Are there ads or accounts?
It is free, there are no ads, there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to buy. It is a hobby project, not a business.
Do you store anything about me?
No. Your version, language, squad plans and comparisons are saved in your own browser and never sent anywhere. There are no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. The privacy page explains it in full.
Is this an official EA Sports site?
No. Career Hub is an independent fan project, not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to EA Sports in any way.
