There are many people that makes confusion between EA Sports FIFA (aka FIFA 17 Mobile) and FIFA 17 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 17 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 or PC).

FIFA 17 Companion App Download
Please make sure your device meet the requirements and remember that this app requires you to have an Origin account connected to FIFA 17 (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 17 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 16, you probably have realized that the app was offline a couple of days to turn your app into FUT 17. After the update, which is automatic, no longer is possible to use this App to manage your FUT 16 club just like it happens with the Web App too.
