First introduced in FUT 12, these special cards are untradeable, non-transferable and are issued exclusively to high profile professional footballers who take an active interest in the FIFA Ultimate Team game mode.
It’s a win win situation for both parties, as EA SPORTS receive extra coverage and the professional player receives one of the best-rated cards in the game to boost their own squad.

All the Known FIFA 19 Pro Player Cards
All the FIFA 19 Pro Player Cards.If you have played against one of these cards in FUT, then you have just played against a professional footballer. You can also challenge a player’s featured squad on Squad Battles, but this is not the same as actually playing against them.
Unfortunately, regular fans cannot obtain one of these incredible cards. Although, rumor has it that Joey Barton’s brother managed to sell his card for 15 million coins during FUT 13. EA likely assumed that no professional player would want to sell their own card, so originally allowed them to be tradeable.
