FIFA 21 kits aren't just about looking good as you rack up the wins in Squad Battles, Division Rivals and the weekend league. They can also be a strong money-spinner in FIFA 21, bringing in coins when you unearth a hard-to-find or popular strip in a pack. Below we take a look at 11 of the sharpest combos in this year's game, mixing in a selection of cards that attract big coin on the transfer market. All prices are correct on PS4 as of Friday 18 December. Welcome to your FIFA 21 kits guide.
FC Bayern (away)
League: Bundesliga (GER 1)
Card type: Gold rare
Cost: 350 coins
It’s a two-tone grey look on the road this season for the Champions League winners, in which Robert Lewandowski is likely to hammer at least two dozen away goals. The badge, logo and sponsor are all in crisp orange-red, to offset the basic-yet-elegant base colour. Sehr, sehr gut.
Juventus, FC Bayern, Real Madrid and Manchester United get bold new designs in FIFA 19 with EA SPORTS x adidas Limited Edition Jerseys. Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 29 and Nintendo Switch on December 14. You can add them to your FUT club in the following. Atlanta United FC USA Major League Soccer (1) Budget £33.7M. Aston Villa England Premier League (1) Budget £33M. Los Angeles Galaxy USA Major League Soccer (1) Budget £32.6M. Milan Italy Serie A (1) Budget £32.6M.
Borussia Dortmund (home)
League: Bundesliga (GER 1)
Card type: Gold rare
Cost: 1,500 coins
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very… sorry Freddie, this one isn’t frightening at all, but it is a bit of a scorcher. Bayern’s big rivals break with their traditional, simple yellow-and-black combo for something significantly noisier, and in doing so replace long-standing sponsor Evonik with a new logo: German internet provider 1&1.
Barcelona (away)
League: La Liga (SPA 1)
Card type: Gold rare
Cost: 1,600 coins
Barca in black and gold? We’re into wolf-whistling territory here. The kit is high concept: it’s represented by the slogan “The colours are within”, with the legendary Spanish club stating that “Barca fans’ heart are Blaugrana, no matter what is on the outside”. It’s only the third time in Barca’s history that they’ve had a predominantly black kit, along with 2011-12 and 2013-14.
Inter Milan (home)
League: Serie A (ITA 1)
Card type: Gold rare
Cost: 1,300 coins
You really really really wanna zig-a-zig ah? Then Inter’s startling yet somehow sexy new look is the FIFA 21 kit for you. Like Dortmund it’s a colossal break from the norm in a bonkers year, with the Milan side’s traditional blue-and-black stripes swapped for a design inspired by Il Biscione - the city’s traditional symbol of an azure serpent.
Benevento (away)
League: Serie A (ITA 1)
Card type: Silver rare
Cost: 4,400 coins
Continuing the Italian theme, both Benevento kits are worth nabbing – either to wear in game, or as an investment. Along with Crotone, they’re one of two Serie A sides whose kits are silver rather than gold, meaning they’ll be hard to find all year. But while Crotone’s kits are fakies, Benevento’s are real, making them even more highly sought after.
Bielefeld (third)
League: Bundesliga (GER 1)
Card type: Silver rare
Cost: 1,200 coins
Another strip that’s both easy on the eye and beneficial to your long-term FIFA 21 coins bank balance. Just one Bundesliga side in FIFA 21 sports silver-carded kits: you’ve guessed it, it’s Bielefeld. If you see one of these on the market for under 1,000 coins, snap it up and immediately re-list with a 25% mark-up.
Southampton (home)
League: Premier League (ENG 1)
Card type: Gold rare
Cost: 200 coins
Breaking a tradition has been a theme here, and it’s especially welcome in the often risk-free Premier League. In fact, Saints have done something more complex than that: they’ve done away with more recent traditions (red-and-white stripes) to reinstall a much older one, with this sash stunner a throwback to their first ever kit, from 1885. It’s also one of the few on this list that you can nab at discard price.
New Zealand (home)
League: Men’s National (INT)
Card type: Silver rare
Cost: 4,500 coins
It’s all white on the night for the All Blacks. NZ’s home strip is up there with Nike’s best: beautifully simple, classy, and – as it’s an international kit – sponsor free. It’s another that’s a formidable investment. Both New Zealand strips went for close to the maximum of 5,000 coins throughout FIFA 20’s lifespan, and that precedent is repeated this year.
Al Ain FC (home)
League: United Emirates League (UAE 1)
Card type: Silver rare
Cost: 2,200 coins
More supremely clean Nike excellence here, though this time with a subtle yet elegant splash of purple. Al Ain FC are the only UAE club in FIFA 21 and as I write this there are only three cards representing this kit on the entire transfer market, so snap it up quick if you want to sport it in-game. The club’s all-purple away number is a real looker, too.
Angers SCO (home)
League: Ligue 1 Uber Eats (FRA 1)
Card type: Gold common
Cost: 200 coins
Italy’s most successful club may not be in FIFA 21 – for an explanation of why, check out our FIFA 21 Juventus guide – but Angers’ home colours are a strong replacement if you’re looking to build a squad of past and present Juve greats in Ultimate Team. It’s even made by Kappa, who manufactured a stack of classic Juventus strips in the eighties and nineties.
Chelsea (third)
League: Premier League (ENG 1)
Card type: Gold rare
Cost: 1,100 coins
What’s this? Chelsea turning themselves into a hybrid of Barca, Crystal Palace and Inverness Caledonian Thistle? Well… yes. Frank Lampard’s boys wearing red and blue shouldn’t work on paper but it just does, throwing back to a classic Nike trainer from the 1990s. As our FIFA 21 Icons guide will tell you, retro always works well in EA’s footy series.

What is the best FIFA game of all time?
It’s a question which often stirs up debate among the legions of fans of the most popular football game.
EA sport’s annual release continues to break records and sell millions of copies worldwide, however, not every one is always warmly received.
A tier list has been published ranking the best FIFA games since 2005 (so an honourable mention to FIFA 03 and FIFA 04) and it will no doubt cause some controversy.
Ranking from ‘Immortal’ down to ‘Give me money back’, check out where your favourite comes in.
Top of the pile we have FIFA Football 2005 and FIFA 15. It seems many agreed with this sentiment with FIFA 15 being the best-selling game of the series.
Known for it’s iconic tracklist, FIFA 15’s slick gameplay and incredible realism was unparalleled, with all 20 Premier league stadiums included for the first time.
Next in the pecking order at ‘Great’, we see FIFA 06. A game with great opening scenes, a throwback mode to FIFA 94 and a manager mode that allowed you to sign with your own sponsor or dictate your own ticket prices are just some of the things fans have yearned for in recent years.
FIFA 06 is joined by the likes of FIFA 11, where Be a Goalkeeper was introduced, and FIFA 14 which was the first game to be used on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles that enabled the atmosphere at stadiums to come to life.
FIFA 12 is among the games listed as ‘Pretty Good’. A game which felt more in-touch with reality than ever before with real life fixtures being used in career modes and an addictive challenge mode where you had to change the outcome of a recent match played that week with only a limited time to do so.
Alongside that are FIFA 17 and FIFA 18, two of the most ground-breaking games of the series in recent years. FIFA 17 saw the introduction of the Frostbite engine for the first time, leading to incredible graphics and gameplay some feel are better than the games that followed it.
The two games also gave us the much-welcome and well-received game mode, The Journey. Rather than just playing match after match, fans were immersed in the story of Alex Hunter, a 17-year-old trying to make his way to the top where your actions and decisions influenced his career path.
Full of twists and emotions, Hunter’s rollercoaster ride was unpredictable and had several little enjoyable tasks such as playing in the Favela’s in Brazil to training in the streets of Clapham.
The Journey came to an end in FIFA 19, which we see in the penultimate category, ‘Bit of an own goal’.
Despite the constant improvements in technology and the money and time spent in making a FIFA game, it is a rather damning verdict of EA that their last three releases are in the bottom two tiers.
Coming last, we have the most recent games released, FIFA 20 and FIFA 21, both have often been viewed as big disappointment.

Accusations of scripting continue to emerge with the ball seemingly refusing to hit the back of the net for one user, with their opponent having a three shot, three goal ratio. It doesn’t end there.
Indescribable defending and over-powered long shots are to the despair of thousands, career mode continuing to have little-to-no improvement and VOLTA proving a waste of time for many, despite promising a return of FIFA Street that fans have wished for.
Do you agree?
