EA SPORTS FC MOBILE - FOOTBALL CENTRE
Welcome to the EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile Football Centre! A new Season-long Program that will be your new hub for fresh and exciting content that ties in with real-world football matches! From Key Matches, Showdown Exchanges, Team of the Week, Player of the Month and more, there is plenty to explore.
Let’s dive right in.
WHAT'S NEW
The What’s New Chapter is the spotlight for special moments in world football. Standout moments in football will be highlighted and celebrated with claimable Player Items for special occasions. Think Moments Players, End-of-an-Era Players, and more.
This will also be your hub that showcases new Showdown Exchanges, Key Matches and TOTW Players. Don’t miss out on any new content and be sure to check out What’s New frequently!
KEY MATCHES
Rivalries, derbies, and epic showdowns. From playing Key Matches to completing Showdown Exchanges, experience the thrill of real-world football in Key Matches.
Key Matches
Play real-world football matchups with Key Matches, mimicking epic derbies and rivalries where you play as the real-world teams. Complete Key Matches to earn Football Centre Points, which are used in the TOTW Chapter to claim TOTW Player Items.
Showdown Exchanges
Choose your side for upcoming matches and see your choices receive OVR upgrades. Complete the Exchange to claim Player Items that receive OVR upgrades depending on the results of real-world football matches.
See below how the OVR Upgrades are determined:
- Players from the winning team will receive a +2 OVR upgrade.
- Players from both teams will receive a +1 OVR upgrade in a draw.
- Players from the losing team will not receive an OVR upgrade.
TOTW
Team of the Week
Standout performers from the week past take centre stage in Team of the Week! Challenge the current TOTW squad using your main lineup to earn Football Centre Points! Get their Player Items in the TOTW Gallery using your Football Centre Points that are earned by completing Key Matches and TOTW Challenges.
Each TOTW Player Item could receive OVR Upgrades. For example, if a Player gets selected in the first week and again in the 5th week then he may receive an OVR Upgrade, a new Action shot, and updated artwork.
Every Player will only receive one TOTW Item throughout the Season. That means that if you have already claimed a Player, you cannot claim him again from the Gallery and his claim node will be replaced with a generic, non-TOTW Player, Reward.
POTM
Player of the Month returns to FC Mobile! Celebrate Players from top-tier Leagues that stood out throughout the month. Complete POTM Exchanges to get a POTM Player!
POTM Players are chosen from the following Leagues:
- Premier League
