What is Silver Stars Live FUT Friendly?
The Silver Stars Live Friendly is a mode in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team where players will need to build a silver team to compete for limited-time rewards.
To access it, you’ll need to:
- Go to the “Play” tab in FUT 23
- Scroll to the side until you are on “Friendlies” and select it with X/A or the mouse button.
- Now, select “Play Online” from the three options.
- From here, you’ll see an option titled “Silver Lounge.” Interact with it, and you’ll be in the Silver Stars Live FUT Friendly lobby.
- Here, you will need to put together a team made of only Silver players. Even your bench and reserves will need to be Silver.
- You’ll know every player in your starting 11 is Silver when you see the “Squad Requirements” on the right side of your screen change from red to green.
- Advance to start searching for a match.

These rewards are won by completing certain objectives in a Silver Stars Live Friendly. Their objectives usually include scoring goals, winning games, or creating assists.
Building a team that meets these conditions and has great chemistry can be difficult. Especially because players will sell high-rated Silver cards at abnormally high prices.
Thankfully, you can use the FUT Web App to use some high return trading methods for more coins to build your team with.
Using the team we’ve shown you here will make meeting these objectives an easy task! Although, if you’re having issues scoring goals, the new Power Shot mechanic can break through the defense from outside of the box.
