EA Removes Diogo Jota Items from FUT Packs

EA Sports has officially removed all versions of Diogo Jota’s player items from FUT packs, including special cards like his popular “GOAT” version. EA FC quietly removed the card without officially announcing it. However, after some streamers noticed that the Jota card was missing, they started to discuss it, and the InfinityFc X handle confirmed the news.

EA has since locked the transfer price range of any remaining Jota cards in the game, effectively preserving their current value and making them untradeable in practical terms. This action is consistent with EA’s previous handling of similar sensitive situations, aiming to prevent market exploitation and preserve the player’s in-game legacy.
