Improve Your Team
Getting New Players
Earn new players by opening packs in the Store, completing Campaigns and Events and wiining in VS Attack mode.

Level Up Players
Increase your player’s stats by leveling them up. You can level up any player, but the materials used are different for each player.
Skill Boosts
Collect and upgrade Skill Boosts to increase your player’s stats.
Skill Boosts are applied only when players are used on position so manage your team to get the most out of them.
Player Leveling
Overview
You can level up your players by adding reserve players and Training XP items to increase their attributes and OVR.
Player Levelling
Each player and XP item is worth a certain amount of Training XP.
Filling up the Training XP bar for a player gives the option to level up to the next level.
Leveling Materials
The items required for leveling up a player differ from player to player. Most players use other players from their line (e.g. ST can leveled up by any other attacking postion) and Training XP items.
Some special players, like Mobile Master Ronaldo, only use unique items for leveling.
Using reserve players for level up will discard them from the club.
Rank Up Players
Once you level up a player to 100 OVR, you can Rank Up to increase your team’s OVR directly.
Ranking up does not increase the player’s stats, only the team OVR.
Skill Boosts
Overview
You can boost your players to increase their OVR and attributes by leveling Skill Boosts.
Each player has a Skill Boost attached that provides increased attributes.
The Skill Boost bonus is applied only when the player is on position.
Skill Boost Leveling
Level up your Skill Boost by collecting duplicates to increase the provided bonuses.
Get more Skill Boosts to increase the attributes provided.
Many players share the same Skill Boost, so leveling it will provide bonuses for all the affected players.
Leveling Rewards
Leveling Up Skill Boosts not only increases your player attributes, but is also a great way to earn XP and increase your User Level!
Rank Up Skill Boosts
Once a Skill Boost reaches max level you can it Rank Up, increasing your team’s OVR directly.
The Rank Up bonus for each Skill Boost is added for each on position player with that Skill Boost, so it’s a very powerful way of improving your Team OVR.
VS Attack

These can be found in the Rewards map accessible from the VS Attack screen.

Thx..
I started a league tournament last season (2019). This tournament exists now in 2020 and my friends who were in in it last season are still there. But it seems I no longer have the moderator powers. When I’m in my league dashboard and I click on Tournaments and then I go to click on the button that normally says “Find Opponent,” it says “Waiting for Tournament” instead. Help! 🙁
My friend can’t locate me because I have an apostrophe in my name. When my friend or I click on the apostrophe button it doesn’t show up. Nothing happens. We are in the same league but there is not way for us to add each other as a friend there. The other problem is his name is Dan and there are 1,000s of Dans out there so I can’t locate him.
I bought one of the Independence Day special (1.99), have the receipt, but the new player did not show up in my team. Please advise on how to get him listed.
Thank you!
is that possible to have my friend players in my transfer market
no, you can’t get your friends player in the market as it is 99.999% impossible
If I apply a skill boost to a player that I later sell on the market will those enhanced traits or attributes be transferred to the new owner of that player, because currently OVR no longer changes for that player?
I created a league and tried to invite my friend to join. I used ‘invite member’ to find my friend and it showed my friend. However I’m not be able to invite him. How can I solve it?
