EA Sports decides to end the Fitness cards in FiFa 21 Ultimate Team and will make changes. They were meant for us to rotate players, but they only made the gameplay slower and more uncomfortable.
Fitness and healing items will be removed from Ultimate Team for FIFA 21. Electronic Arts has confirmed a change that the community has been requesting since Ultimate Team began in 2008 with FIFA 09.

Typically, in FIFA Ultimate Team mode, your players get tired when playing games, and fitness cards are needed to improve their fitness to acceptable levels. If they don't recover, they can end up injured and tired in the middle of a game.
This system is unanimously hated by the FIFA community, as it has to be dealt with very often and is seen as a punishment for playing the game. It is also criticized that fitness cards and the like also contribute to filler in the packages that one buys.
Changes in FIFA Ultimate Team
Fitness items have been a light management item in Ultimate Team from the beginning. Impaired player fitness was originally brought into the game to encourage player turnover on the team and to simulate some of the management decisions soccer teams must consider. However, we have evaluated these mechanics. We decided that it was not creating the desired effect on the rotation.
Instead, players spend time performing a management action that was frequently required and ultimately not much fun. In this year's installment, the physical condition and stamina of the player will continue to be important factors within a match, dictating, for example, how much they can run and for how long. But you no longer have to manage those mechanics in the menus too. With the changes we have in place, all FIFA Ultimate Team 21 players start every game in top form.

As for the training and healing elements, they are also going to be eliminated. They have seen that they were also filler letters in packages and no one used them. In FIFA Ultimate Team 21 there will also be changes in this aspect: there will be only two healing elements in the game: common gold elements and rare elements. These apply to any type of injury and reduce the duration of the injury by two games and five games respectively. All of this means that the packages have been rebalanced around all these changes. A set of new club customization options have been added.
