Barton's unwanted item sold for 15 million coins, likely the highest total in Ultimate Team history. Something similar then happened when Joey Barton's teal card, again with near-perfect stats, was put onto the market by his dissatisfied brother - as revealed by football's very own Friedrich Nietzsche with a sweary announcement on Twitter. Eagle-eyed PlayStation 3 players found the Enrique card for sale at 10 million coins - an absolute fortune in the game's currency. Those cards are generally known as 'in-forms' and have slightly boosted stats, but Enrique's had near-perfect stats instead. Instead of teal, the Spaniard owned a heavily improved black card that appeared similar to a Team of the Week release. Liverpool's Jose Enrique was the first player to cause a stir when his advanced item was spotted in the wild by an extremely confused opponent back in the days of FIFA 12.

'But usually it's either that the player has reached out to us asking for one to enjoy in his FIFA Ultimate Team, or that we have an existing relationship with that player and we offer it to them knowing that they play FUT, of which Luke Shaw and Gareth Bale are two great examples.' 'The process varies from player to player,' an EA Sports representative tells me, somewhat reluctantly after I turn up on the local touchline in a sheepskin jacket and start waving a microphone at him. After much harrying and digging, though, we finally have some answers.

The company is normally quick to highlight the popularity of its game with sports stars, but for whatever reason it has remained tight-lipped about simple stuff like who is eligible, which stars have a teal item and how they got them.

Professional football players have occasionally tweeted about their upgraded item and chatter on the official forum periodically turns to a topic that has gone largely unacknowledged by EA. Little knowledge of these teal-coloured trinkets exists online. For those who achieve professional footballer status in the real world, however, there is one more rung to climb. Colours run through bronze, silver, gold, black (in-form), red (Man of the Match), blue (Team of the Year) and more recently white (the Xbox-exclusive FUT Legends).

You could spend Roman Ambrovich's mortgage on FUT packs, but your greatest haul is likely to be seven Zoltan Geras.ĮA Canada uses a range of colours that will be well known to players to determine each footballer's quality, rarity and value in Ultimate Team, its Panini sticker-inspired trading game mode for the FIFA series (although the sticker/card stuff is apparently last-gen thinking - EA Canada tells me cards are now known as 'items'). No, the real reason I wish I'd been a professional footballer is so that someday, way down the line, EA Canada would give me a one-of-a-kind player card in FIFA Ultimate Team. I can live without the fame and fortune, it turns out, and while it saddens me that I will never appear on Dancing on Ice, I have learned to bear that pain as well.

Looking back on my life, there is one very good reason I wish I had been a professional footballer.
