Transferring FIFA Points: A Comprehensive Guide to Web App Limitations and Alternatives
The burning question on every FIFA (now EA SPORTS FC) player’s mind as a new season approaches: Can you transfer FIFA points on Web App? The answer, plain and simple, is no. You cannot transfer your FIFA Points using the Ultimate Team™ Web or Companion Apps. This has been a consistent limitation across FIFA titles, and continues with EA SPORTS FC. The only way to transfer your points from a previous FIFA game to the latest EA SPORTS FC title is by logging into the game on your console or PC. Once you’ve logged in and initiated the transfer, you’ll see your updated points balance reflected in the Web and Companion Apps. Let’s dive deeper into this topic, addressing common concerns and offering clear guidance.
Understanding the Limitations of the Web App
The Web App and Companion App are fantastic tools for managing your Ultimate Team squad, completing Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), and trading on the transfer market. However, they’re not designed for handling point transfers. This restriction is likely in place for security reasons and to prevent unauthorized access to your account. EA Sports wants to ensure the transfer process is secure and tied directly to your gaming platform.
The process is now transferring FIFA Points to FC Points. Be aware that January 1, 2024, was the final day for transferring and converting FIFA Points to FC Points.
Common Scenarios and Misconceptions
Many players attempt to initiate point transfers through the Web App, only to be met with frustration. The interface simply doesn’t offer the option. It’s crucial to understand this limitation to avoid wasting time and effort. Always log into your game on your console or PC first to kickstart the transfer process.
Why the Console/PC is Necessary
The reason why console or PC access is necessary is to verify your account ownership and secure the transaction. It provides a higher level of security compared to a web-based interface. This helps prevent fraud and ensures that only the rightful owner of the account can transfer points.

The Games Learning Society (https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/) explores the intersection of games and education, highlighting how games can foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. The GamesLearningSociety.org promotes research and best practices in this exciting field.
