- Quick Answer: AMPs provide temporary attribute boosts and Signature PlayStyles+ for a set number of matches, while Masteries reward long-term play by unlocking permanent stats that apply across all of your Pro's builds.
The Grounds mode in FC 27 has you create your pro and roam around the open-world map made of three distinctive districts to compete in various modes.
Progression for your created players is the same as in Clubs mode previously. There are archetypes and attributes to build them how you want.
AMPs and Masteries are two new things that have been added to give you more options on how you want to tune your pro.
Here's everything you need to know about them.
FC 27 The Grounds AMPs Explained
AMPs are consumable items that provide specific benefits to your active Archetype for a limited time.
They provide various attribute boosts like +1 in Acceleration and Strength.
AMPs are not permanent and have a certain duration, like 3 matches.
There are four tiers of AMPs across two different rarities:
- Standard Amps
- Tier 1 - Attribute boosts
- Tier 2 - Greater Attribute boosts
- Signature Amps
- Tier 3 - Greater Attribute boosts, Playstyles, and Perks
- Tier 4 - Greater Attribute boosts, Playstyles+, and Perks
Signature AMPs are inspired by real-world footballers and ICONs. They provide a greater boost and PS+ that reflect the player that they're based on.
For example, an AMP inspired by John Arne Riise will give you Power Shot+, as the legendary Norwegian left-back was known for his shot power.
You can equip up to three AMPs at a time, including two Standard Amps and one Signature Amp. They apply to all stadium matches as well as in-world Rush.
AMPs will be available across The Grounds content and Clubs through Objectives, Live Events, Campaigns, and season progression.
You can buy some directly through the store as well.
FC 27 The Grounds Masteries Explained
Masteries are permanent boosts to your Archetype in FC 27. By reaching set milestones, you’ll unlock permanent Attribute boosts that carry across all of your builds.
For example, reaching level 10 with a Finisher Archetype unlocks +1 Finishing and +1 Composure to every archetype you use.
Here's what attribute boost you can achieve in each Archetype:
Archetype | Attributes Boosted |

Shot Stopper | GK Positioning, GK Reflexes |
Sweeper Keeper | GK Handling, GK Diving |
Progressor | Long Passing, Standing Tackle |
