FIFA is one of the most popular sports games on the market. A new entry is released every year, with millions of players racing to get the best Ultimate Team, climbing the ranks in the hopes of getting to Division 1.
FIFA's popularity has led to the creation of a number of smartphone apps to go alongside it; apps that are fun simulators as well as helpful tools for Career Mode and Ultimate Team players.
Here are the best Android and iPhone FIFA apps worth checking out.
1. MAD FUT 21
This unofficial app acts as a sports management game that replicates the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) experience. MAD FUT 21 is made by the fans for the fans, giving you an Ultimate Team experience that's more streamlined and doesn't require gameplay. Simply head to the Draft or Pack tabs to begin drafting a team or opening packs to see what you get, with no coin charge.
What sets MAD FUT apart from other free pack openers is its sleek, FUT-inspired visual design. Its incorporation of Achievements, SBC Challenges, and Trading features makes MAD FUT a compelling alternative to the official FUT game mode.
The app's navigation filters when searching through My Club are also more streamlined and convenient than the official FUT game mode. The level progression system keeps you hooked and working towards goals, and the frequent updates throughout the season help it feel as close to the real FIFA Ultimate Team experience as possible.

2. FIFA Football
FIFA Football is an officially licensed, mobile version of FIFA that focuses on Ultimate Team. The game uses a virtual joystick with options on the right such as Pass, Clear, Switch, or Shoot for more simplified FIFA gameplay that suits mobile. The aim of the game is to collect the best possible Ultimate Team, with numerous features from the main series such as SBCs, Draft, and Leagues returning.
FIFA games release yearly and follow the trend of games becoming more expensive. If you're tired of having to buy a new FIFA every year to get an Ultimate Team that is relevant, then the mobile version is a great alternative. FIFA Football has a very popular player base and the constant updates keep the game feeling fresh and relevant. The gameplay shift from the main series can take a bit of time to get used to, but the game features a handy tutorial to help you adjust.

3. FUT Track
FUT Track is an unofficial app that keeps things simple by helping you to track your performance in games across Division Rivals, Weekend League, and FUT Champions. By pressing the Add Game button, you can input Player Performances, Score and Match Facts, and the Score and Facts of a match. Through doing this after each game, you will be able to analyze your performances to see if there's been any improvement.
A cool feature is that you can create multiple squads and then have your results filtered by which squad you're using. This is handy for players who like to use multiple squads.
The app has a live database that updates simultaneously with the official FUT game mode, making it really easy to recreate your squad from FUT in the app.

4. EA Sports™ FIFA 21 Companion
The companion apps for FIFA games release each year alongside the newest entry to the series. These companion apps allow you to manage your Ultimate Team from your phone by linking to your EA Account ID, with the only missing feature being the actual gameplay.
Being able to manage your Ultimate Team while on the go ensures you don't miss out on trading, particularly if a recent real-world transfer has set the market alight and you want to capitalize.
Navigation for FUT on console or PC can be a bit time-consuming, so this mobile option offers an easier way to complete SBCs, organize your club, and show off your squad. Just bear in mind that you can't log into the mobile app if you're already logged into your Ultimate Team on console or PC.

5. FUT 21 Draft Builder
FUT 21 Draft Builder is an unofficial app that tracks the FUT market, offering you the live price ranges of cards for those moments when you're unsure which player to buy. Players feature reviews underneath their card from other app users, allowing you to get opinions from real users who have experience with the card.
There is a draft simulator that can be used for fun and research, and the app even features solutions to all the Squad Building Challenges. Ultimately, FUT 21 Draft Builder is an extremely helpful app if you regularly play FIFA and want to keep up with the FUT market.

6. FUT Card Creator
FUT Card Creator is an unofficial app that lets you have a bit of fun by making cards of your own. You can load cards that you've previously created, or get right into making a new one and saving it on the app. All the six main stats—Pace, Passing, and so on—can be modified, and you can use the camera to create a picture that displays on the card.
FUT Card Creator doesn't offer anything in the way of help with FIFA, but it does provide a bit of fun for FIFA players to try making their own cards with pictures of either themselves or their friends.
Unfortunately for Android users, this app is only available for iPhone.
