Will I lose my Ultimate Team if I unlink my EA account?
Unlinking your EA account from your platform account, such as PSN or Xbox, will indeed result in losing your in-game progress, including your Ultimate Team data, as all game progress is linked to your EA Account, not your platform account. This means that if you unlink your accounts, you will not be able to access your Ultimate Team or transfer it to another account, so it’s essential to carefully consider the risks before making any changes to your account settings.
