EA has finally removed fitness items from Ultimate Team for FIFA 21 – a change the community has called for ever since Ultimate Team began life back in 2008 with FIFA 09.
In FUT, your players suffer stamina fatigue as they play games, and fitness cards are needed to boost their fitness back to acceptable levels (to prevent them from being knackered halfway through a match). This system is pretty much unanimously hated by the FIFA community as it has to be dealt with so frequently and is seen as a punishment for playing the game. Fitness cards and others like it also contribute to “pack bloat” – the idea packs are full of rubbish you don’t want instead of the cards you do.
For FIFA 21, EA has pulled fitness and training items completely.
