This is a solution for anyone having an error saying you cannot send gift to a friend.
For me I only have 1 friend on my list that plays this game, and when I went to send a gift the little icon by their name was red with a little dash beside it.
If you have a second account on your XBOX that does not play this, try starting up an Ultimate Team with that second account. Make sure that second account is on your friends list as well. Now Skip the tutorial game and set up your squad. Now when on the squad page, hit
and go to "Share your Squad with friends". Once I did that, I signed out of my second account and signed back into my main one.
When I signed in to my main account, I clicked
to make sure that their activity showed on the list. Then I went to the Home tab and selected Catalogue. Now pick the cheapest item, I think I chose a new ball, then select Gift Item, and the list of your friends will come up and the little icon by your second accounts name should be grey, not red and you can now gift an item to them.
Let me know if this worked for you guys, or another way you did it and I can add to this solution to help out as many people as we can.
