FAQ
Do I keep the players I draft?
No. The drafted players are only available for your Draft squad and do not transfer to your FUT Club.
What difficulty are the AI opponents on?
You can select the AI difficulty before starting. Higher difficulties can give slightly tougher matches but do not affect the rewards.
Is the entry cost the same as Online Draft?
Yes. Single Player Draft has the same entry fee options: 15,000 FUT Coins, 300 FC Points, or a Draft Token.
What happens if I stop playing mid-Draft?
Your progress is saved. You can continue where you left off at any time, but rewards are only given once the Draft is completed or you are eliminated.
Do rewards differ from Online Draft?
Yes. Rewards in Single Player Draft are generally slightly lower than Online Draft, since you are competing against AI instead of real players.
What if I don not claim my rewards right away?
Rewards will remain in your FUT store until you choose to open them, so you won't lose them.
