FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Staff
Building a dream team is every FIFA 15
Ultimate Team player’s objective. In order to reach that, something more
than just players will be needed. You’ll need to know how to manage the
other types of cards there are in the game: staff, consumables and club
items. For this, it’s good that you fully understand what they’re for,
how they work and which real benefits they may or may not bring you
according to your strategies.
It’s commonly said that human resources
are every company’s most valuable assets. This happens in FUT 15 as
well. The players are no doubt crucial, because without them you
wouldn’t be able to play. Although they aren’t indispensable, the staff
also perform a very important role. These cards have the responsibility
to boost the effect of some consumables and, in the case of managers,
they even increase the players’ individual chemistry.
In FIFA 15 Ultimate Team, there are five different types of staff cards, each one having a specific role:
- Managers
- Head Coaches
- Goalkeeper Coaches
- Fitness Coaches
- Physio
If you’re planning on playing less than 300 matches and you know how to manage your squad well, already having maximum individual chemistry even without a manager, you can abdicate yourself from buying staff cards
Head coaches increase the effect of
player training cards, goalkeeper coaches increase the effect of
goalkeeper training cards, fitness coaches increase the effect of
fitness cards and physio coaches increase the effect of healing cards.
If you don’t use consumables in your club, except for the contracts
which are mandatory, you can abdicate yourself from having staff.
Otherwise, equip yourself with coaches and physio’s according to which
consumables you use the most. The managers are an exception, because
since they have an important role on contracts, they are actually very
much required if you want to be successful.
Just like any other type of card, staff can be found in packs through the following ways:
- - when you create a new club, from the Starter Pack;
– when you buy them on the store;
– when you win tournaments or seasons that include packs as reward;
– or when you receive Daily Gifts, Welcome Back packs and other prizes.
If you need a specific staff card, our
suggestion is that you go and search for it on the market using filters.
This way you’ll only spend coins on cards you don’t have and you’ll be
equipping your club according to what it needs. Obviously the cards you
get from packs should also be taken into account. However, if you think
they’re not necessary, put them on the market and get a few coins from
them.
You can keep as many staff cards as you
want in your club, as long as there are no duplicates. You can have them
duplicated on the transfer list or targets, though. In this case, the
only limit you have is the list’s maximum capacity.
In order for the staff to work you only need to have them in “My Club”. All the rest processes are made automatically.
One of the most common questions
concerning the staff cards is about how it works: “what do you need to
do to have them active?”. The answer is simpler than most players think.
You basically don’t have to do anything. You just have to send them to
the club and leave them there. Every time you buy a staff card on the
market or get one from a pack, go for the option “send to club”. Then,
when you apply a consumable, the system automatically identifies what
cards associated to the type of consumable you have stored in your club
and you are given a bonus according to them.
The table below allows identification of the similarities and differences between the five types of staff cards there are:
Bonus | ||||||
Consumable | Bonus | Limit | Ind. Chemistry | Cards | Average Price | |
Manager | Contract | 0 to 3 % | +50% | +1 | 284 | 900c |
Head Coach | Training | 5 to 15% | +50% | 0 | 36 | 400c |
GK Coach | GK Training | 5 to 15% | +50% | 0 | 36 | 300c |
Fitness Coach | Fitness | 1 to 5% | +50% | 0 | 36 | 250c |
Physio | Healing | 5 to 15% | +50% | 0 | 42 | 200c |
We will now analyze specifically each one of these cards.
Managers Cards
Among the five types of staff cards, the
managers are clearly the most important ones. They develop two roles
which take part on the main parts of the game. If you’re an experienced
player, the managers are the only staff cards that you really need to
get. You can afford to ignore any of the other staff types if you know
how to manage your squad well. Going without managers won’t do you any
good, though.
Manager cards have basically two functions:
- extend the players’ contracts
- contribute to individual chemistry
Besides reducing costs for contracts, managers are also responsible for a small bonus applied to the chemistry
As we’ve already said, all staff are
responsible for increasing the effect of consumables. For managers,
those are contracts. You just need to store the manager cards in “My
Club” and let the system do the rest, it will automatically identify the
amount of bonus you’ll get for every contract applied according to how
many of them you have.
Still don’t get it? We’ll explain in
more detail. The contracts are positively influenced according to the
managers a club has. Each manager card displays a contract bonus
percentage. When you apply a contract, its effect is multiplied by the
sum of the coefficients of all the managers your club has. No matter how
many managers you have, the sum of their coefficients will stop at 50%
of bonus, for that is why you should supervise them so you don’t waste
coins. When you reach 50% you should stop, unless you really need a
manager with a specific nationality to affect one or a few players’
chemistries. Also, check if you’re buying managers that contribute with
at least 1%. The non-rare silver and bronze managers give no bonus.
MANAGERS’ BONUS | ||
CONTRACTS | ||
GOLD | RARE | 3% |
NON-RARE | 1% | |
SILVER | RARE | 2% |
NON-RARE | 0% | |
BRONZE | RARE | 1% |
NON-RARE | 0% |
Their effect doesn’t limit itself just
for the most important consumables of the game. They’re also crucial for
defining the players’ individual chemistries. The manager you choose
for a squad can increase one point of individual chemistry for each
player starting the match. On his limit, he can increase the squad’s
chemistry overall by 11 points, one for each player. That’s pretty
significant.
What determines if he gives a player
bonus or not? Or if it is his nationality and league. If one of them
match, the player gets one point. If not, he gets nothing. Even if they
match both nationality and league, the bonus will never be more than one
point. If the players already have maximum individual chemistry (10)
there’s no point on using a manager since there won’t be anything to
improve and you’ll still be spending contracts.
For chemistry improvement, the process
of choosing a manager should be done mainly according to nationality.
Their league can be changed if you apply manager league consumables, in
case you want it to match a player’s, but you can’t do the same for the
nationality.
TIP
When you start looking for a manager to increase your squad’s chemistry, don’t follow the most frequent nationality in the team. What matters is giving bonus to the players that have lower chemistry. These are the ones you should pay attention to. Try having a manager with a nationality that benefits ones and a league that benefits others.

Only the manager sitting on your team bench needs contracts
Other than nationality, league and bonus
percentage, the manager cards also display another important
information: the number of contracts. Just like the players, managers
also spend contracts every match they participate. When they run out of
contracts, you need to apply new ones so they can stay on the bench for
the next match. The type of contracts they need also receive bonus
according to the amount of manager cards you have in the club, including
the one you’re using. The rest of the managers don’t spend contracts.
In our opinion, managers are the only staff you should worry about.
If you were able to build a team where
all players have 10 points of individual chemistry, you can dispense
managers on the bench. But don’t take this too seriously, because the
budget associated to this is usually around 10 coins per match. If your
squad’s rotation implies on using managers with different leagues and
nationalities, try switching managers from the bench to the ones you’ve
got stored in your club according to what you need before starting a
match. Remember that the manager’s popularity and rarity doesn’t make a
difference when they go on the bench. All managers are equal when they
move to the squad, it doesn’t even matter if you switch your gold
manager to a bronze one, they’ll influence the chemistry equally as long
as their league and nationality are the same.
Apart from the initial investments, each manager’s 1% bonus represents almost one coin saved per match
When talking about bonus for contracts,
our objective should be to gather enough managers in order to reach the
50%. In this case it doesn’t matter the nationality, league or the
remaining contracts a manager has. We should only focus on reaching the
total 50% spending the less possible. This is where the calculation
comes in. For this objective, buying, for example, Mourinho and Joachim
Low won’t make sense because they cost way too much, you can use these
coins to buy several other managers. Check, for example, if there are
any rare silver managers cheaper than non-rare gold ones. The average
total coins spent in order to reach 50% of contract bonus revolves
around 12.000 coins, being its approximated return 40 coins per match.
In a long term the managers will be able to spare you thousands of
coins, except if you don’t intend to play more than 300 matches, because
in this case the investment won’t be fulfilled. If you want to start
saving your coins early, it’s important that you start collecting
managers as soon as possible. Although, it’s also early when the game
starts that they are more expensive, due to the immense demand and small
supply. It’s up to you to manage to buy these cards without spending
much more than the average value we gave you.

TIP
If you already have your main manager and now your goal is to reach the 50% contract bonus, search in the market by managers running out of contract.
They are usually cheaper and it doesn’t make any difference to you.

Head Coaches and Goalkeeper Coaches
Both head coach and goalkeeper coach
cards can be understood by one explanation since they do the same thing:
increase the effect of training cards. Head coaches give the player
training cards bonus while goalkeeper coaches give the goalkeeper
training cards bonus. In order for you to realize what they’ll be good
for, it’s important that you know what training cards do: they are
consumables that increase one or all the attributes of a player for one
single a match.
If you don’t intend to use training cards, it’s not worth it to waste your time and coins buying coaches
Coaches are not all the same. Their
cards differ each other in the attribute they benefit and how well they
do this. Each coach benefits one of the six basic attributes of a player
or goalkeeper, and for each attribute there are six coaches with
different bonus amounts (5 to 15%).
Every time you apply a training card to a
player or goalkeeper, the bonus they receive depends not only on the
card’s value itself but also all the coaches stored in “My Club” for
this attribute are taken into account. The system automatically sums up
all coaches’ displayed percentages and then give you the total bonus for
the attribute, which can’t be higher than 50% because this is the
maximum value possible according the amount of coaches there are in the
game for one attribute.
When a training card is applied for all
attributes at once, there is no difference on the way coaches work.
Immediately before the six attributes are increased, the system
calculates the bonus for each one of them according to their coaches.
It’s important to note that the coaches do not increase the duration of
the training card’s effect. It never works for more than one match.
Coaches will only increase the bonus for each specific attribute.

The vast majority of players don’t
occasionally use training cards. For them, buying these cards is clearly
a bad investment. In the same way, though, for people that use training
cards on almost every match, buying coaches should be almost mandatory.
For people that use training cards
moderately, like when they’re playing finals or decisive season matches,
this matter should be analyzed according to two aspects.
You can only get more than 15 points of an attribute increase if your club is equipped with coaches
Firstly, having coaches is the only way
there is for you to be able to get higher attribute increases. Having
all coaches for an attribute, you can get up to a +23 increase on it,
provided a maximum +15 increase it’s possible for a training card.
On the other hand, everything has its
costs. In general, the investment on coaches that will give an attribute
a 50% bonus costs around 2.000 coins. The return depends on the
attribute. It is practically insignificant for all of the goalkeepers’
attributes and for most of the players’ attributes, but it can reach
savings around 300 coins per match when pace is the attribute improved.
In this case, the investment is paid off after 7 matches of pace
training cards used.

Fitness Coach Cards
A lot of players don’t give too much
importance to their team’s fitness management. They do know that the
players’ performance decreases when they’re tired, but they prefer to
manage that only by applying fitness cards. For them, fitness coaches
can be really important since they are responsible to boost the effect
of consumables. This, by the way, is this staff’s only purpose.
Fitness coaches can give a up to 50% bonus on fitness cards application
Fitness cards are applied to a player or
a squad when you want them to restore their fitness immediately, in a
non-natural way. The best ones will restore 60 points. This restoration
can be even bigger according to the amount of fitness coaches there are
in the club. This staff is differentiated by its lower percentage
contribution per card, which varies from 1 to 5%.
Every time you apply a fitness card to a
player, his fitness restoration will not depend exclusively on the
card’s value, but also on the fitness coaches you have stored in your
club. The system automatically sums up all the fitness coaches’
displayed percentages and then gives you a bonus according to the total
value. It doesn’t go beyond 50%, so you should be paying attention to
how much you have. Don’t try and buy more coaches expecting to receive a
bigger bonus, you’ll be wasting coins, so you should stop at 50%.
Fitness coaches work the same way for
both individual and squad fitness cards. In the first case, the bonus
goes for one player. In the second case, it goes for all players of the
squad at the same time.

Unless you have an awesome budget, your
players’ fitness management shouldn’t be done with fitness cards. If
you’re a very good manager, the fitness coaches won’t do much. The
recommended way is to take advantage of the players’ natural fitness
restoration: every time they spend a match on the bench, their fitness
is restored. It’s important to note that the fitness coaches have
nothing to do with this natural restoration. Having more of them won’t
speed up the process.
Despite its low investment, it takes a while for the coins spent to come back
Fitness cards may be consecutively
applied to a player until he reaches 99. That’s why fitness coaches can
only be useful from an economic standpoint.
For people that usually restore their
players’ fitness individually, fitness coaches are really not a helpful
option. Since most players start using individual fitness cards when
it’s around 80 to 90, a simple bronze fitness card is enough and it can
be bought for 150 coins. In this case, the fitness coaches’ bonus will
have no use. They’ll only have some use for people that want to restore
more than 20 points. Even in these cases, the gains are almost
insignificant and the investment will only pay off if one applies around
160 fitness cards.
General rule, applying squad fitness
cards is slightly better than doing it with individual ones when it
comes to amounts of fitness restored. In these situations, having a few
fitness coaches in the club can bring you some advantages. And yet, for
an average investment of 4.000 coins to reach 50% of bonus, you’ll need
to use around 40 rare squad fitness cards in order to start getting
return.

TIP
If you still insist on using fitness cards, it’s actually better to use the rare ones even if there are players with higher fitness than others. If your limit is the 80 or less, check on the market, according to the prices, if it’s better to use two successive fitness cards or one associated to several coaches.

Physio Cards
No one likes to spare their best player.
We all want to play at full strength. However, not always things go as
planned and, sometimes, players get injured. When this happens we have
only two options: wait for them to rest between the reserves so they can
get back in form naturally; or we apply healing cards on them. In the
second case, owning one or more physio coaches in your club gives you
the chance to speed up the recovery of your injured players. They’re
responsible to make the healing cards more effective. This is, by the
way, this staff’s only function.
Healing cards should be applied to an
injured player when you want him to get better faster. On its limit, a
healing card is able to make a player go from injured to available
immediately. They allow an acceleration of the healing period for up to 5
matches. They can do even better if you have a few physio coaches
stored in your club.
Physio coaches give healing cards an up to 50% bonus
The physio coaches are not all the same.
Their cards are differed by speciality (foot, leg, knee, arm, head,
back and upper body) and by bonus percentage. Each physio coach only
contributes for one kind of injury, and for each part of the body there
are six physio coaches with different bonus percentages (5 to 15%).
Every time you apply a healing card to a
player, the decrease of his healing period doesn’t depend exclusively
on the card’s value but also on how many physio coaches you have stored
in “My Club”. The system automatically adds up all the percentages
displayed on each physio coach card and then gives you the total bonus
according to that. The sum of these coefficients can never surpass 50%
because this is the maximum value according to the number of physio
coaches of each speciality there are in the game.
When we’re looking to heal a player, we
first need to verify what is the type of the injury and how many matches
long is the healing period. In case you can’t find it, it’s in the
player’s Bio. Normally we apply a healing card which is specific for the
body part. However, this can also be done by a rare healing card which
cures the player no matter the type of injury. The way physio coaches
work for one case is rigorously equal to another. Immediately before the
healing card takes effect, the system calculates the bonus according to
the physio coaches for each the speciality.

Having physio coaches gives you extremely fee advantages.
If you keep your squad in rotation,
injuries shouldn’t be a big problem. You’ll always have an alternative
for the injured player so you won’t have to use healing cards. You’ll be
saving the coins you would need for physio coaches, completely useless
in these situations.
Although, this isn’t always possible.
Sometimes because the player that got injured was one of the main ones
for your team, or because you were counting on him on a tournament’s
final or a decisive season match. In these cases, owning physio coaches
could be the right decision made. But only apparently. The thing is that
equipping your club with physio coaches for 50% of bonus on every
speciality will cost around 8.500 coins. If you want to invest on this
staff you’ll basically have to buy all the 42 coaches because you never
know what kind of injury you’ll get.
Besides, it’s most certain that this
investment will never get a full return. Firstly because the price
difference between the different types of injury cards is relatively
small. And also because if you manage your fitness well and avoid direct
contact with the most aggressive players, injuries will hardly happen.
They will be short and few. This way you’ll never be able to get your
coins back. And lastly because the healing cards will heal your players
in just one or two matches – there are also injuries that last 4 or 5
matches but they are very rare – so the 50% bonus shouldn’t have any
practical effect.

This way, we decided to create a simple chapter where you can consult a
brief history of changes concerning staff.
FUT 14 >> FUT 15
- Head coaches for the heading attribute are substituted by fitness coaches;
- Added 116 managers.
FUT 13 >> FUT 14
- Managers stop having influence on morale, which is eliminated;
- Managers start having influence on individual chemistry and not just directly on the squad’s chemistry;
- Managers’ category starts being irrelevant to the chemistry;
- Managers stop having a preferred formation and it stops being one of the influences to the chemistry;
- Managers start having an associated league, which contributes for the players’ individual chemistry and can be altered by the application of one type of consumable.
