Your Gallery Level rises each time you complete a Set or improve its grade, and its milestones pay bigger rewards, Holographic Items among them. EA doesn't publish how many points each level needs, so the cheapest way toward Level 10 is to raise as many Set grades as you can from cards you already own, and to buy only where one cheap card lifts a grade.
What do Gallery Levels give you?
EA's FUT Deep Dive says each Set you complete or improve contributes to your Gallery Level, and that level milestones give larger rewards, including Holographic Items. It is the long game of the Gallery: Set grades pay tokens now, and the level pays out as your whole Gallery grows.
EA's articles don't list the reward at each milestone, so check in the game what Level 10 pays before you spend coins chasing it.
How many points does each Gallery Level need?
EA hasn't published the points per level in its FC 27 articles. Fan sites have posted figures, but EA hasn't confirmed them, so we don't repeat them here. What EA does confirm is what moves you up: completed Sets and better grades.
So you can't plan to an exact number, but you can plan the cheapest grade rises, which is what the rest of this guide does.
Where do your Set grades come from?
- Item Score. Each card in a Set adds its own score: a base score for its rating, with rarity and Holographic bonuses that stack. Higher-rated and special versions count for more.
- Tags. EA says Tags reward combinations of item properties within a Set.
- Cards you no longer own. Sold cards and cards submitted into SBCs can still contribute. Loans can't.
Which Sets should you push first?
EA counts every Set you complete or improve, so in our reading breadth pays: lifting several Sets one grade each from cards you already have usually costs less than buying one Set to its top grade.
- Complete the Sets you are closest to. Your own league, nation and club Sets are often a few cards short.
- Then lift the grade of completed Sets where one or two cheap cards make the difference.
- Leave Sets that need expensive specials for last: their grade rises cost the most per step.
Our Gallery Sets and tokens guide covers grades, tokens and the buy-then-sell route in detail.
Use the First Owner cards you already have
Fan guides report a First Owner Tag for cards you got first-hand (from packs, SBCs, objectives and rewards) rather than bought on the market; EA's articles don't define it. If you have kept those cards, or sold them since, add them to their Sets before you buy anything: they may already lift a grade, and if the guides are right, the market can't sell you that Tag.
It is also a reason not to quick sell packed cards in a hurry. Our FC 27 fodder guide has the full keep, store or sell table.
A routine that climbs toward Level 10
Without EA's points table, plan in rounds rather than to a number. One round:
- After each pack session, add your new cards to their Sets.
- Complete any Set that is one or two cards short, buying the cheapest copies.
- Lift one completed Set a grade with a cheap card or two.
- Sell bought tradeable cards back once the grade is in. Sold cards can still count.
- Check your Gallery Level and the next milestone in the game, then repeat.
Plan it with FC Helper
FC Helper is an independent browser extension for the EA FC Web App, not made or approved by EA. It keeps the count of every Set for you:
- Gallery (free): on the game's Home, press Gallery on FC Helper's club bar. Each Set shows which of its cards you own and how far along you are, so the Sets that are nearly done stand out.
- Cards I had (free): add the cards you sold or used before FC Helper, so their Sets count them. Cards you sell or use in an SBC after that are remembered for you.
- Token planner (Premium): picks which Sets earn the most tokens.
- Find cheapest cards (Premium): on a Set's page, pick a grade and press it to see the cheapest cards that reach it under your Max Card Price. Nothing is bought until you press Buy All.
See the Gallery on the Features page for every step.
Every Web App extension carries a ban risk, FC Helper included. EA's FC rules advise players to avoid browser extensions and forbid automation and auto-buyers. Read our honest take on solver ban risk before you use one.
