In EA FC 24, Kobbie Mainoo is currently in high demand, despite his actually weak stats. What’s going on?
This is Kobbie Mainoo: Mainoo is an 18-year-old football player who is currently under contract with Manchester United, where he was also trained. He belongs to their talents, and Mainoo is also an English U-national player.
In EA FC 24, his card looks like this:
With an overall rating of 62, his midfield card is rated very weak compared to other players, as all his stats are not particularly high. It is not a card one would have played in previous FIFA titles in Ultimate Team.
Nevertheless, many players are currently trying to get it. So much so that it is practically continuously sold out on the transfer market and can only be purchased at its maximum price of 10,000 coins with a lot of luck when someone puts Mainoo on the transfer market.
Currently, the chances are only very brief since the card is sold within seconds when it lands on the market.
In short: Mainoo is currently brutally rare. But why?
How Mainoo quickly becomes a top card in EA FC 24
This is the reason: In the new evolutions feature, you can improve certain cards in your club. And players have now found out what a strong version of Mainoo you can get if you use him for this.
The evolution calculator from futbin shows how you can turn Mainoo into a current top card in midfield:
- First, you use the

-evolution to raise him to 63 - Then you use
Useful Supplies
(Part 1) for the jump to 79 overall - And then
Useful Supplies
(Part 2) finally transforms Mainoo into an extremely strong midfielder
This brings Mainoo to an overall rating of 83 with perfectly balanced stats for a central midfielder.
Players are desperate for Mainoo: Strong prospects for players who have the card in their club. However, for everyone else, the Mainoo evolution is difficult to implement as you need a lot of luck to get Mainoo on the market.
In the community, some are already noting that he is currently probably the rarest card in the game. Some are now expecting that he might get a price-range update, meaning he could be sold for more than 10,000 coins. Then it would be conceivable that the card stays on the market a bit longer than just a few seconds – but also becomes more expensive.
