Ultimate Team is turning 15 and, to celebrate, EA Sports have launched a special collection of cards in FC 24.
The hugely popular game mode first appeared in 2009 and has become a staple of EA's football series ever since.
EA Sports have enlisted the help of Liverpool star Diogo Jota to mark Ultimate Team's 15th birthday, and the list of cards launched for the occasion is mouthwatering.
