EA FC 27 item score calculator for the Max 88 Hero 140k SBC — EA FC 27 item score calculator

What is the EA FC 27 item score calculator?

EA FC 27 changed most Player and Upgrade SBCs into streamlined SBCs. Instead of building an 11-card squad with chemistry, you hand in cards one at a time and each card adds a fixed item score. You can stack untradeable duplicates without worrying about positions, and your progress is saved between submissions.

Classic team rating maths only matters now for puzzle SBCs like Marquee Matchups and Daily Puzzles. For those, use our EA FC 27 SBC rating combination calculator. For everything else, this EA FC 27 item score calculator is the faster check.

EA FC 27 item score table

These are the base item scores for standard gold cards, as listed by FUT trackers on 2 November 2026. Silver cards (65 to 74) score 35 and bronze cards (45 to 64) score 20.

Card rating (OVR)	Item score	Card rating (OVR)	Item score
75	90	88	8,300
76	100	89	11,000
77	120	90	14,000
78	140	91	19,000
79	160	92	20,000
80	180	93	25,000
81	280	94	30,000
82	340	95	40,000
83	410	96	55,000
84	830	97	85,000
85	2,100	98	90,000
86	4,100	99	100,000
87	5,500

Special and Holographic cards

Special versions score more than a gold card of the same rating. Trackers agree on the idea but not on every number, so the tool lets you pick the version yourself.

Promo specials: TimeSaver lists them at 1.5 times gold, so a special 88 scores 12,450.
Team of the Week: Fandifut lists TOTW at 1.25 times gold, so a TOTW 88 scores 10,375.
Holographic: a Holo version adds another 1.5 times on top. A special 86 Holo scores about 9,225.

The SBC screen always shows the real score before you submit, so check it there.

Max 88 Base Hero Upgrade: 140,000 item score

The Max. 88 Base Hero Upgrade went live on 2 November 2026 and runs until Sunday 8 November at 18:00 UTC. It needs 140,000 item score, the highest Hero target so far. Tap the Max 88 Hero (140k) button in the tool to load it.

Route	Cards	Approx. cost (console, 2 Nov)
Cheapest fodder	169 gold 84s	174,915 coins
25-card route	1 gold 88 + 24 gold 87s	191,840 coins
All 88s	17 gold 88s	238,000 coins
Untradeable specials	12 special 88s	0 coins

Is it worth it? The pool has 79 Heroes, and the median pull was about 166,000 coins on console, a little below the cheapest fodder bill. Only 38 of 79 Heroes were worth more than that bill. Do it with untradeables you already own, and think twice before buying 169 cards for it.

How to use the EA FC 27 item score calculator

Enter the target score shown on the SBC, or tap a preset.
Enter any score you already submitted.
Add up to two groups of cards from your club. Pick the rating, the version and the Holo box.
Read the points left and the table of cards needed for each rating.
Check live prices, then buy the cheapest mix and submit.

The big jumps in the table

The scores are not smooth. An 84 is worth twice an 83, and an 85 is worth about 2.5 times an 84. An 88 is worth 10 gold 84s. So check prices before you buy: if an 88 costs less than ten 84s, the 88 is the better deal.

Cards below 84 are poor value for big targets. A whole team of 83s only adds 4,510 points.

Tips and common mistakes

Hand in untradeable duplicates first, since they cost nothing.
Use untradeable special cards from objectives and promos. Twelve special 88s finish the Max 88 Hero on their own.
Finish SBCs before they expire, because the expiry packs are worth less than the full reward.
Buying fodder on the market? Check your 5% EA tax and break-even price first.
