FIFA Ultimate Team exposes all player data via publicly accessible web services. This repository is here to help you build your ultimate team and will show you who the tallest player is, the fastest, the best overall, etc.
99.9% of those reading will be interested in this and nothing else: player-database.csv. It's a database of a the UT players and their stats. If you have no idea what a CSV file, you can open it in Excel, Numbers or in Google Docs / Zoho Sheet.
All of the data can be found in the repository here.
Every asset (players, clubs, kits, etc) in the game has a unique identifier. Identifiers remain the same regardless of the season.
Let's take Maurice Edu as an example. He's an American midfielder currently playing for Rangers FC, the most successful club in the world. Maurice was on the cover of the American version of FIFA '09. He's also my 4-year old son's favorite player.
Mo's FIFA player ID is 179686, so we can grab his image from the 2012, 2011 and 2010 data set with the following URLs:

Kristof Van Hout is the tallest player in the game. He's an OK goalkeeper, but a bit slow clumsy. I use him as a benchwarmer and only bring him on for last-minute corner kicks. Dude's taller than Crouch and connects with headers with the force of a thousand suns.

Quero Is the smallest player in the game. Do it for the lulz.
- Special edition cards are not tracked here
- You should not use/abuse the web services/API/URLs listed above - doing so will probably get you blacklisted on the FIFA servers and you'll find it hard to play online.
