FIFA 18 Companion App Overview

Is possible to bring your FUT 18 squad for everywhere?
 

Keep the world of FIFA 18 Ultimate Team close at hand with the EA Sports FIFA 18 Companion App. Now you can manage your Ultimate Team any time, anywhere.

The EA Sports Football Club Companion App, for iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices lets you access the FUT Transfer Market, manage your FUT squad, submit SBCs and purchase packs from the store anywhere your mobile device has an internet connection, at home or on the go.

With this app you can manage the FUT 18 squad that you have in your PS3, XBox 360, PS4, XBox One or PC. There are many people that makes confusion between the FIFA Mobile and the FIFA 18 Companion App. The first one allows you to play the game itself. You don’t need to have a console’s account to play it. The second one is like an Web App for mobile devices. It is an application that gives you the chance to manage your console’s squad in your mobile device. It requires you to have an Origin account connected to FIFA 18 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 or PC).

How to get the FIFA 18 companion app?
 

Please make sure your device meet the requirements and remember that this app requires you to have an Origin account connected to FIFA 18 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 or PC). To use the FIFA Ultimate Team features in this app, you must have a FIFA Ultimate Team Club within FIFA 18 and must have played a number of games to unlock transfer market functionality via the app. Note that you’ll need to start on the web app before you can use the mobile app.

If you used the FIFA Companion App for FUT 17, you probably have realized that the app was offline a couple of days to turn your app into FUT 18. After the update, which is automatic, no longer is possible to use this App to manage your FUT 17 club just like it happens with the Web App too.
