summary
FC 27 Destined For Glory launches on September 25, featuring live-upgrading Player Items led by Kylian Mbappé, Nuno Mendes, Alexander Isak, Pernille Harder, Bryan Mbeumo, Morgan Rogers, and Matheus Fernandes. Players looking to strengthen their Ultimate Team ahead of the promo can also buy fc coins to prepare for the new cards and potential upgrades. Upgrades are based on domestic league goals, assists, or clean sheets, depending on the player's position. Additional leaked names include Aubameyang, Konsa, Rațiu, and Kika Nazareth, but leaked ratings and availability remain subject to change.
How Does Destined For Glory Work?
Destined For Glory cards can receive upgrades based on their real-world performances in domestic league matches. Tracking began on September 18, and the upgrade system depends on the player's position.
For midfielders and attackers, including CM, CAM, LM, LW, RM, RW and ST, upgrades are determined by combined goals and assists:
· 3 goals + assists: +1 Shooting and Passing
· 6 goals + assists: +1 regular PlayStyle
· 10 goals + assists: +1 OVR
· 20 goals + assists: +1 OVR
For defensive midfielders and defenders, including CDM, CB, LB and RB, the system instead tracks clean sheets:
· 2 clean sheets: +1 Defending and Physical
· 4 clean sheets: +1 regular PlayStyle
· 6 clean sheets: +1 OVR
· 10 clean sheets: +1 OVR
This means a Destined For Glory item can potentially become significantly stronger over the course of the season rather than remaining at its initial rating.
FC 27 Destined For Glory Team 1 Players
EA's official launch information confirms that Kylian Mbappé received the most community votes and leads the campaign. EA also specifically confirmed Alexander Isak, Morgan Rogers, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Fernandes among the first Destined For Glory players.
Current Team 1 information includes:
· Kylian Mbappé – Real Madrid – 91 OVR, ST
· Nuno Mendes – PSG – 89 OVR, LB
· Alexander Isak – Newcastle United – 88 OVR, ST
· Pernille Harder – Bayern Munich – 88 OVR
· Bryan Mbeumo – Brentford – 86 OVR, RM
· Morgan Rogers – Aston Villa – 85 OVR, CAM
· Matheus Fernandes – Tottenham Hotspur – 85 OVR
Nuno Mendes' 89 rating is also listed in EA's official FC 27 player database.
More Leaked Players
Beyond the better-known names, community leaks have pointed toward several additional Team 1 inclusions. These reportedly include Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ezri Konsa, Andrei Rațiu, Yann Aurel Bisseck and Kika Nazareth. Some of these names remain unconfirmed, so players should treat the leaked ratings and availability as provisional.
Other reported names connected with the wider leak include Deniz Undav, Kökçü, Veerman, Jauregizar and Abdulhamid, although their final placement and availability should be checked again once EA publishes the complete squad.
What To Expect From Team 1
The combination of high-rated stars and live upgrades makes Destined For Glory different from a standard launch promo. Mbappé starts at 91 OVR, while Isak, Nuno Mendes and Harder also enter with strong ratings. More importantly, their potential upgrades are tied to performances throughout the domestic league season.
For FUT players, this creates an additional factor when evaluating these cards. A player's initial rating is only part of the picture, since reaching the required goals, assists or clean-sheet milestones can improve the item later. Having enough coins to invest in promising players and build around these live upgrades can also be useful, making cheap fut coins a convenient option for preparing your squad.
With Destined For Glory officially scheduled for September 25, more information should emerge as EA reveals the remaining players and confirms which leaked cards will be available through packs, SBCs and Objectives.
