Close 20 of the 33-record content gap (17 consumables + 3 staff; 13 Legends are unrecoverable from PC data). Verdict A (no Core change): consumables/staff become ordinary Core CardDefinitions (neutral player fields + honest family/role names) and owned instances via the SAME generic import path; a catalog kind lets the adapter exclude them from the player-only /club projection. - adapter fut::content_taxonomy: evidence-based cardsubtypeid->family/label (Ghidra-derived ranges) + staff role map; unknown subtype => defer, never fabricate. - adapter catalog: Fifa17CardIdentity/RawCard gain optional kind+subtype (backward-compat: legacy catalogs load as player); kind_of/subtype_of lookups. - adapter item/club_response: shape_club_response excludes non-player kinds (ShapeStats.excluded_non_player); ItemIdentityResolver::kind_of default=Player. - host Fifa17IdentityResolver overrides kind_of to delegate to the catalog so /club excludes consumables/staff in production. - import: Item gains cardsubtypeid/cardassetid/amount/contract; plan_non_player_definitions (resourceId-grouped, subtype-consistency gated); emit_content writes non-player defs + catalog kind + manifest; apply mints owned instances via owned_item_id. Real profile 33068179: 1962 players + 20 non-player = 1982 owned; 18 non-player defs (16 consumable + 2 staff, dup resourceIds shared); 0 deferred non-player; 0 blockers.
OpenFUT
Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.
OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.

SQLite database
Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.
Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

Design Principles
- Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
- Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
- Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
- Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
- No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.
