Electronic Arts has introduced a new feature called Gallery mode to the Ultimate Team club menu in EA FC 27, offering players an alternative way to utilize their card collections. Sitting alongside the newly added Streamlined SBCs, the Gallery system allows users to assemble specific card sets from their club inventory to earn cosmetic items, Gallery Tokens, custom kits, and badges.
The feature provides extra utility for standard, silver, or bronze player cards that might otherwise sit idle, including cards that players have previously removed from their active squad. However, loan items and cards currently undergoing Evolution upgrades are strictly ineligible for Gallery submissions. Sets are built around thematic criteria such as team affiliations, regional leagues, or card rarities. For instance, a Real Madrid objective might require players to collect and submit at least 11 players from the Spanish club to receive a formal evaluation.
How to Build a Gallery Set
Accessing the new feature requires navigating to the main club interface within the Ultimate Team hub. Players looking to complete their first set can follow a straightforward process:
- Open the Ultimate Team mode and switch to the Club tab.
- Select Gallery mode to browse available challenge categories.
- Pick an active set objective, such as the initial Starter Set.
- Choose and assign the required number of eligible cards from your club.
- Confirm the selection to submit the list for immediate grading.
Grading Mechanics and Bonus Tags
Upon submission, individual player cards are evaluated using a score system aligned with Streamlined SBC mechanics. The Gallery calculates an overall score for the submission and assigns a final grade ranging from D to S. Achieving higher grades increases the overall Gallery level, granting better rewards as players complete additional submissions over time.
To further boost set evaluations, the system applies extra points through special Gallery Tags. As of launch, there are 21 Gallery Tags available, which apply percentage-based point boosts when submitted cards share specific qualities. For example, submitting an all-gold squad grants the Golden Gallery Tag, providing a 1% score bonus for lineups with 5 to 9 matching items or a 2% bonus for sets containing 10 to 19 gold cards. A base score of 10,000 points, for instance, increases to 10,100 points with a 1% bonus active. Players can review these tag criteria in advance to maximize their score bonuses and accelerate reward progression.
