Q: How long are FIFA 17 Winter Transfers Players cards available in FIFA packs?
A: As soon as they are released for the first time, they remain in packs until the end of the game, replacing the day 1 cards, or eventually until a new transfer card be released.
Q: When do the new cards take place over the old ones in packs?
A: Electronic Arts don't release them all at once. The usual expectation is for biggest part of the update to be made on the transfer deadline day, February 1st 2017. However, they also release cards before and after this date.
Q: Do all transferred players get a new card?
A: Supposedly that should happen, and it effectively does on the most popular leagues. But some players from less popular leagues end up "forgotten", although generally EA's cover is quite wide and efficient.
Q: Can I have both the original and the new card in my club?
A: Yes. However, a squad can only have one of them. By the way, if you need some fifa 17 coins free, welcome to our site.
Q: Can a transferred player receive an upgraded card?
A: Yes, he can. Although EA Sports try separating player transfers/player upgrades, there are rare cases in which the same player is both transferred and upgraded at the same time. In that case both situations are passed on to one single card.
Q: Why can't I find a player that was among the Winter transfers?
A: Probably because in the beginning of the game he played for a club that isn't in FUT 17. Only players that were once in the game's initial database will potentially get new cards, otherwise they won't be there, not even if they're moving to a FIFA 17 licensed club.
Q: What happens if a Ones To Watch Player is transferred/loaned to a different club?
A: The Ones To Watch Player Item type attributes and latest TOTW in-form rating will be unaffected. However, his OTW player item type will remain at the players previous club until he gets a TOTW in-form at which point the player's club, crest and dynamic image will be updated.
Q: What advantage do the FIFA 17 Winter transfers bring us?
A: Once the new cards are released, league/club possible combinations increase, which makes it easier for us to build squads with good chemistry.
Q: I already have a squad. What is it good to me?
A: If you're already "done" with your squad, the transfers increase your improvement opportunities. If your squad is based on a league, for example, Winter transfers season will increase your options to improve your squad because there will be more players available in the league you're using.
