Disclaimer & Acknowledgements & Feedback
Disclaimer
I am just another FIFA Mobile gamer and not an employee of Electronic Art Inc. or any
of its subsidiaries or partners. This is not an official publication by FIFA Mobile’s
developer: Electronic Arts.

The content you will find in this document is partly my own. Another part of the content
you will find here has been either paraphrased or been copied and pasted from its
sources.

I am putting this information together so that any FIFA Mobile gamer can find all the
basic information about the game in one place.

Content from the websites I use as sources can quickly be outdated, I will always make
an effort to contact the FIFA Mobile Studio for input and content accuracy verification
before every new version of this document is released (hopefully they’ll help ).

Acknowledgements
On this document version, I thank the following contributor:

Feedback
Any feedback regarding this document is welcome. You can contact me ‘BlackDeGamer’
at FIFA Mobile’s Answers Head Quarters (AHQ)

i
1. Declaration of terms
In this document I (the writer of this document) will use:
• ‘Gamer/gamers‘ to refer to you and other human beings playing the FIFA
Mobile game.
• ‘Player’ to refer to a character used by a gamer in FIFA Mobile.
• ‘Player card’ to refer to a visual in FIFA Mobile that represents the player and
his characteristics.

2. Installation
2.1. Terms and conditions
By downloading and using the FIFA Mobile game you agree to the terms written in the
Electronic Arts User Agreement. You can find the agreement here.

2.2. Device minimum requirements

FIFA Mobile can be played on a mobile device running on iOS or Android operating
systems.

FIFA Mobile has two different minimum specifications requirements: one for
downloading FIFA Mobile and another for the Head-to-Head game mode.

The minimum requirements for downloading the FIFA Mobile application are the
following:

iOS
• iPhone 5s and later.
• iPod Touch (6th Gen).
• iPod Air and later.
• iPad Mini 2 and later.

Android
• At least 1GB Ram.
• ARM-based, Quad-Core (with a clock speed of 1GHz).
• Android OS version 6.0 or later.

2.3. Downloading the application

The FIFA Mobile application is available in the App Store (For iOS mobile devices) and
Google Play (For Android mobile devices)

2.4. Recommended connectivity environment

Gamers often ask how they can know whether their internet connection is "good" or
"bad" for playing FIFA Mobile. The answer is not easy because the true answer depends
on several factors unique to the hardware of, network architecture around, and
locations of the server and the gaming device.

1
For good user experience in all parts of the games, the recommendation is given for
each of the following metrics:

2.4.1. Download speed

This is how fast information can get from the internet to your device. It is measured by
how many bits of information can be delivered per second.

Recommendation: The higher, the better.

2.4.2. Upload speed

Upload speed measures how fast data can get from your device to the internet. It is
measured by how many bits of information can be delivered per second.

Recommendation: The higher, the better.

2.4.3. Latency (Ping)

Latency measures how long it takes for a signal (called a ping) to travel to an internet
server and back. Because of varying traffic on the internet, this value changes over time.

Recommendation: The closer to 0, the better.

2.4.4. Jitter
This is the variance of latencies experienced over a given time. When packets arrive at
rapidly alternating speeds (fast, slow, fast, slow), the gaps between them create an
inconsistent flow that negatively impacts real-time services.

Recommendation: The closer to 0, the better.

2.4.5. Data loss

Files are not transferred across your network fully formed. Instead, they are broken
into easy-to-send chunks called packets. If your connection is suffering high packet loss,
you are likely to experience unresponsive services, frequent disconnects, and recurring
errors.

Recommendation: The closer to 0, the better.

There are applications on the internet that you can download, use to test your
connection, see the above metrics and make your assessment about how ‘good’ your
connection is. EA-Help recommends Speedtest app.

3. FIFA Mobile rules
There are a few specific rules that Electronic Arts (EA) wants you to know about, so you
and other players have the best experience possible. These rules are to keep things fun
and fair for everyone that plays FIFA Mobile.

3.1.1. Do not cheat in-game

Cheating can include but is not limited to, using external tools, performing in-game
exploits, and abusing glitches or bugs.

For example, if you work with other players or accounts to increase your rank, it is
cheating. It creates an unfair advantage on the field. Do not do it.

In-game cheating is not fair play and hurts the experience for the players you are
playing against.

3.1.2. Do not hack other players’ accounts

Accessing another player’s account is totally and completely against the rules.

3.1.3. Do not buy Coins

You can earn FIFA Mobile coins by playing, buying, and selling items in the market, but
buying coins from a third party is against the rules.

A few ways to earn FIFA Mobile coins legitimately are:

• Playing live events
• Completing daily activities
• Buying and selling players and other items on the market

Buying coins unlevels the playing field. It affects the player economy when the prices of
items in the Market increase and become unaffordable. When coin buyers buy cheap
items in the market, they take away the opportunity to buy affordable items from
players who earned their coins legitimately.

If you buy coins, you are at risk of having your account information stolen by phishers.
Coin sellers need account login information to give out coins, so that means they can
just as easily remove items from your account, too. They can also turn around and make
a profit off of the items they steal and hack someone else. Help keep your account safe
and do not give your login information to anyone.

Buying “mule” accounts or performing comfort trades are also not allowed. These things
are against EA’s gameplay rules because they harm the game economy, and they
damage gameplay for you and other players. Do not do it.

3.1.4. Do not farm Coins

As stated in 3.1.3, you can earn coins in a bunch of different ways in FIFA Mobile. But
farming coins is a big no-no.

3
Coin farming is when you get coins fast and illegitimately, either by using bots in the
market or by tricking the game into thinking you are playing matches when you are not.

When you store a lot of coins on your account, that is cool. As long as you are earning
those coins the right way in-game. If you use any sort of bot or disconnection methods
in-game so you can earn coins fast and illegitimately, that is breaking the rules.

3.1.5. Do not distribute or sell coins

Coin selling and distribution hurts the FIFA Mobile economy. That means disrupting the
safe buying and selling environment that legitimate players are trying to use to get the
players they need for their team.

3.1.6. Do not buy FIFA Points from a third-party seller

There are only two ways to get FIFA Points: Buying them in-game and earning them
when you complete some activities in the game.

Like buying coins from a third party, you are risking having your account information
stolen by phishers. These sellers need your account login information to get the points
and you are risking them hacking you or someone else in the process.

3.1.7. Do not abuse or use bots in the Market

Using bots or exploiting the market in any way gives an unfair advantage and hurts the
experience for you and other players. It can also negatively affect the affordability of
certain items that are for sale in the market, making it harder for legitimate players to
enjoy the game they know and love.

3.1.8. Do not make false claims

Making a false claim to EA Help Advisors or any other EA representative is against the
gameplay rules, and it’s not cool. Breaking the rules makes it hard to offer a fun, safe,
and secure environment for you and all players.

3.1.9. What happens if you break the rules?

If you break the rules, EA might:
• Reset your Fans.
• Suspend your account or permanently ban it in serious cases.
• Restrict your access in other ways.

The complete rules can be found in section 6 of the Electronic Arts User Agreement.

4
4. Account

4.2.2. VIP points

Your VIP Rank is 0 when you begin the FIFA Mobile season. You can increase your VIP
Rank from 0 by accumulating VIP points. Completing certain daily quests and buying

All friend requests are sent to the inbox, where the gamer being requested can either
accept or decline the friend request.

4.5. Customisation hub

The customisation hub allows you to personalise your gameplay with logos, badges,
emotes, and kits.

4.6. Resources
4.6.1. Stamina
This is the quantity that needs to be accumulated in your account because different
amounts of it are required to play certain game modes.

Regular Stamina
Stamina typically required for season-long events such as VS Attack and Head-to-Head
in Division Rivals event, is referred to as ‘regular stamina’.

Your account’s capacity to store regular stamina increases as your account level
increases. Anytime your account is not at its full capacity, regular stamina is
automatically filled by 1 unit every 5 minutes until full capacity has been reached. At full
capacity, the regular stamina will stop to automatically accumulate. However, any
stamina gained from any part of the game will still be added to your accumulated
regular stamina.

When your account is very low on regular stamina, you can replenish it by watching
advertisements.

On the topmost panel of the game, you can always view how much regular stamina you
currently have.

Event-energy
Some events, within the season, have their type of stamina that needs to be accumulated
and used for game modes within the event. We typically refer to this type of stamina as
‘event energy. The event-energy capacity is the same for every gamer. The event-energy
capacity and the refill times may vary with each event.

6
After getting into an event’s hub: on the topmost panel of the game, you can always view
how much event energy you have. You can typically gain more event energy through
watching daily ads or through purchasing weekly coin packs.

some resources or train players. Coins can typically be gained:
• From selling players in the market
• As a reward for playing certain matches or completing milestones or unlocking
nodes within certain events

On the topmost panel of the game, you can always view how many coins you currently
have.

On the topmost panel of the game, you can always view how many gems you have
accumulated.

4.6.4. FIFA points

some values of a player card’s attributes.

Training XP can be gained:

7
Typical Training XP comes in different units such as 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000,
50000, 100000 etc.

To see which and how many Training XP units you have accumulated:

• Tap on “Train”
• Under the “Available items” panel, sift through your reserve players (if you have
any) to identify which and how many Training XP units you have.

4.6.6. Skill boosts

A skill boost is a resource that can increase (boost) your player card's overall rating and
some of its attributes. For the full or partial boost to apply, the player-card should be
placed on certain positions in a formation. Each player-card has one associated skill
boost throughout the season, but one skill boost can apply to many of your different
player-cards.

A full Skill boost bonus is applied when the player-card is in position, and a partial boost
is applied at an alternate position. No boosts are applied if a player is too far away from
their native position.

Skill boosts can be gained:

• By completing milestones or squad building challenges or winning some matches
or unlocking nodes within certain events
• By completing quests
• Through purchases in the game store

There are 25 different types of skill boosts and each skill boost can be levelled up from 0
up to 25. You can level up the skill boost once you have gained a certain number of its
duplicates. Levelling up the skill boost also costs coins.

Inside the “My team” hub and under the “Skill boost” section, you can see all the skills
boosts. You can see how many duplicates of each skill boost you have collected; the
current level of the skill boost and how many duplicates are needed to level up the skill
boost.

4.7. Saving progress

To save your account progress, you need to link FIFA Mobile to one of the following
accounts:
• Game Centre (iOS)
• Google Play (Android)
• Facebook (iOS & Android)
• Apple Account (iOS)

Linking FIFA Mobile to any of the accounts above gives you the ability to play FIFA
Mobile using multiple devices without losing your account progress. Your progress can
be recovered after you reset your phone to factory settings or update its OS or delete
the FIFA Mobile app or are using a new mobile device.

Not linking FIFA Mobile to your account

Without linking to an account, you will play as a guest. Guests can only save account
progress directly to a mobile device the game is being played on.

Playing as a guest has a few drawbacks:

• You can only play your game on the device you downloaded and have an account
on. Your game will not move over to different devices
• All game progress will be lost if you factory-reset your device, install a major OS
update, or delete the app
10
 • Lost game progress is permanent. Electronic Arts cannot recover an unsaved
game-progress

Linking an account
Here is how to manually link an account :
• Open FIFA Mobile
• Go to the Settings menu
• Under “Setting”, choose “Link Accounts”
• Click ‘Link’ next to the option you want to link (like Facebook, Game Centre, or
Google Play)

5.4. Advanced Settings

5.4.1. Clear Cache
This setting triggers the FIFA Mobile application to re-download all its assets.

Generally, ‘caching’ means keeping a local copy of some data that may be:
• Stored elsewhere in a harder-to-reach place (like on the hard drive rather than
in RAM, or hosted on a server somewhere on the web)
• Time-consuming to compute from scratch

This way, the FIFA Mobile application saves the time of re-fetching/re-computing the
data when it needs it repeatedly.

7. Player details
7.1. Traits
7.1.1. Height
Height helps players get to air balls first, and when paired with a strong Jumping
attribute, gives a player a significant aerial advantage over an opponent.

Goalkeepers benefit a lot from height and combining a tall goalkeeper with a great GK
Diving stat will help them reach those shots that are placed into the corners.

7.1.2. Weight
A player that has more mass will have a better chance of winning jostling situations and
will cause larger impacts during collisions.

Weight and strength attributes are often used together, so a heavy, strong player will
have a significant advantage in physical challenges like jostling, two-player headers, and
tackles.

7.1.3. Work rates

Work rates affect how often a player participates when a team defends or attacks. Each
of the player’s attacking and defensive work rates is rated either low, medium, or high.

Attacking work rate (AWR)

This rate affects how your player participates in your team’s attack

• High - A player with a high AWR will push deep into the offensive third. The
player will most times be part of the team’s attacking moves

• Medium - A player with a medium AWR will play from the midfield third to
outside the penalty area. The player will often be part of the team’s attacking
moves

• Low - A player with a low AWR will play from outside the defensive penalty area
up to the defensive midfield. The player will hardly be part of the team’s
attacking moves

Defensive work rate (DWR)

This rate affects how your player participates in your team’s defence

• High - A player with a high DWR will push deep into the defensive third. The
player will most times be part of the team’s defensive moves

• Medium - A player with a medium DWR will play from the defensive midfield
third to outside the defensive penalty area. The player will often be part of the
team’s defensive moves

21
 • Low - A player with a low DWR will play from outside the defensive penalty area
up to the defensive midfield. The player will hardly be part of the team’s
defensive moves
7.1.4.
Note: A both high attacking and high defensive work rate player is not necessarily the
best, since he always will be running up and down the whole pitch; therefore, often out
of position and affecting the organization of your team.

7.1.5. Tap skill move

This is a skill move a player will perform when you double-tap the ‘sprint & skill’
button.

7.1.6. Swipe skill move

This is a skill move a player will perform when you press and swipe up the ‘sprint &
skill’ button.

7.1.7. Celebration
This is a celebration move a player will perform after scoring a goal.

7.1.8. Special traits

Traits are characteristics that are used to give players unique behaviours in-game. Not
all traits function in the same way, but all traits have at least one effect and fall into at
least one of the categories below:

• Standard traits impact the way that a player plays, both when controlled by a
game and when controlled by the CPU AI

• CPU AI traits impact the way that a player plays but only when they are being
controlled by the CPU AI

Argues with Officials

CPU AI - a player with this trait will typically argue with officials, potentially
exacerbating foul situations.

Avoids Weaker Foot

Standard – a player with this trait will more likely use his strongest foot to make a pass
and to take a shot.

Dives Into Tackles

CPU AI - a player with this trait will be more likely to use a sliding tackle instead of a
standing tackle.

Early Crosser
CPU AI: a player with this trait will be more likely to attempt an early cross.

22
Finesse Shot
Standard – a player with the Finesse Shot trait will get the full amount of curl when
taking a finesse shot when the ball is on the ground. This can change how the ball will
get to the target, but it does not change the target itself.

Flair

Standard – a player with this trait will be less likely to make errors when attempting
flair moves. They will sometimes execute a flair pass or flair shot

Giant Throw

Standard - a player with the Giant Throw-In trait performs a throw-in with a longer
maximum throw distance than both Players without the trait and Players with the Long
Throw-In trait. If the opportunity for a quick throw-in has passed, Players with this trait
will be more likely to be considered the optimal selection for taking a throw-in where
executing a long throw could boost the chance for a scoring opportunity.

Long Passer

CPU AI – a player with this trait is more likely to attempt long passes.

Long Shot Taker

CPU AI – a player with this trait will be more likely to try and take long shots when
running with the ball, and they’re more likely to try long volley shots.


Long Throw
Standard - a player with the Long Throw-In trait performs a throw-in with a longer
maximum throw distance than a player without the trait. If the opportunity for a quick
throw-in has passed, players with this trait will usually be considered the optimal
selection for taking a throw-in.


Long Thrower (GK)

Standard – a goalkeeper with this trait will have the ability to target players further
away with thrown passes.

One On Ones (GK)

CPU AI - a player with this trait will have an advantage in 1-on-1 situations.

Outside Foot Shot


Standard - players with this trait will easily execute accurate outside foot shots.

Playmaker

CPU AI - a player with this trait will be given the ball by their teammates more often,
allowing them to dictate more of the offence They will also make faster passing
decisions.

23
Power Header

are more likely to be selected to fill a target position in the opposing penalty area during
an attacking corner kick.

Powerful Driven Free Kick

Standard - a player with this trait will start their free-kick run-up from further back,
producing a more powerful free-kick.

Puncher (GK)

CPU AI – a player with this trait will be more likely to punch the ball away.

corner near the end of a game if a goal is desperately needed.

Selfish

CPU AI – a player with this trait will typically hold onto the ball even when teammates
are in a better position.

Speed Dribbler

CPU AI – a player with this trait will be more likely to go on a long run or to attempt a
zigzag dribble.

8.1.1. Legacy team

If available, these are players and their formation from your last season’s active line-up
(just before the season’s reset).

8.1.2. Player positions

Goalkeeper (GK)
A goalkeeper is the most defensive position in football. Their job is mainly defensive: to
guard the team’s goalpost against breaches by the ball (to not let the other team score).
Goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands and arms,
however, they are restricted to doing so only within the 18-yard box; for this reason,
they must wear jerseys that distinguish them from other outfield players and the
referee.

Left-/Right Back (LB, RB)

Right-Backs and Left-Backs are the defenders stationed on either side of the centre-
backs to protect from attacks. They often have to defend against the opponent’s
wingers, who will try to take the ball past them down the flanks to cross or pass to their
attackers. They also take thrown-ins and provide support for the wide midfield ahead of
them, eventually overlapping and sending crosses into the opposition box.

Left-/Right Wing-Back (LWB, RWB)

Right Wing-Backs and Left Wing-Backs are a modern variation of full-backs. They are
defenders who can also attack. They are expected to stay on their touchline, overlaps
and sends crosses into the opposition box but still marks opposition wingers when
needed. It is one of the most physically demanding positions in modern football.

Centre Back (CB)

Centre-backs play in a central position of the defence. Their job is to stop opposing
players, particularly the strikers, from scoring and bring the ball out from their penalty
area. CBs are often tall, strong and have a good jumping, heading and tackling ability.
Successful centre-backs also need to be able to concentrate, read the game well and be
brave and decisive in making last-ditch tackles on attacking players who might
otherwise be through on goal.

30
Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM)
Defensive midfielders are stationed in front of the defenders to provide a more secure
defence, thus “holding back” the freedom of the opponents to attack. The CDM screens
the defence by harrying and tackling the opposition teams’ attackers and defenders.
They also help tactically, for instance, by directing central attacking players out to the
wing where they have more limited influence and by covering the positions of full-
backs, midfielders and even the centre-backs as they charge up into the attack.

Central Midfielder (CM)

Central midfielders play several roles on the field of play, depending on their particular
strengths and the tactics of the team. They are the link between defence and attack, and
must also defend when the opposition is in possession. Their central position enables
them to have an all-round view of the match, and as most of the action takes place in
and around their area of the pitch, midfielders often exert the greatest degree of control
over how a match is played.

Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM)

Attacking midfielders are positioned in an advanced midfield position, usually between
central midfield and the team’s forwards. Their main role is to create goal-scoring
opportunities using superior vision and skill. The attacking midfielder is an important
position that requires the player to possess superior technical abilities in terms of
passing and, perhaps more importantly, the ability to read the opposing defence to
deliver defence-splitting passes to the strikers.

Left-/Right Midfielder (LM, RM)

Right and Left Midfielders are stationed in a wide position effectively hugging the
touchline. Like all attacking players, wide midfielders need to have ‘off-the-ball’
intelligence, by being able to read passes from the midfield that give them a clear
crossing or scoring opportunity. Usually, right-footed players are played on the right
flank and left-footed players on the left as a matter of familiarity and comfort.

Left-/Right Winger (LW, RW)

Right and Left Wingers are stationed in a wide position near the touchlines. A winger’s
main attribute is usually speed, which is used to attack and dribble past opponent’s full-
backs to get behind the defence and to then deliver crosses and passes into the centre
for their attackers. Occasionally they may swap sides of the field as a tactical move.

Left-/Right Forward (LF, RF)

Right and Left Forwards play along the wing. This position is similar to a winger but a
wide forward plays on the front line and emphasizes more on beating defenders than
crossing the ball. Wingers and wide forwards share many similarities such as needing
crossing, dribbling and pace. This is the rarest position in FIFA Mobile (only shows up
on the 3-4-2-1 formation).

Centre Forward (CF)

Centre-forwards are positioned between midfield and attack. They have two roles: first,
they score goals through passes from teammates; second, they distract the defence to

31
give room for the attacking midfielder, winger or withdrawn striker to attack. They
usually need a good vision, technical and creative skills.

Striker (ST)
Strikers are positioned nearest to the opposing team’s goal. Their primary
responsibility is to score goals and to create scoring chances for other players. They can
also hold the ball up until teammates can join the attack and harry opposition defenders
and goalkeepers whilst not in possession. A striker must be brilliant at receiving and
controlling the ball, strong and capable of winning the ball in the air.

8.1.3. Squad formations

A formation defines the playing tactic of the team as it shows the position of each
player. The formation does not define the roles of players, however, a player's position
in a formation defines whether a player has a defensive or attacking role and whether
they are supposed to play towards one side of the pitch or centrally.

Formations are generally described using three to five numbers, which indicate how
many players are in each row of the formation from the most defensive to the most
forward.

A formation cannot be changed mid-match

To change formation:
• Got to ‘my team’ hub
• Under ‘starting 11’, tap on ‘formations’
• Select any of the line-ups you have unlocked

More formations are unlocked as your account levels up.

3-1-4-2
3-1-4-2 is a variation of 3-5-2 formation where a defender (preferably a sweeper) helps
midfielders on attack and defence. Like in 3-5-2, this formation is heavily reliant on the
wing-backs providing width for the team. The wing players are more withdrawn in
favour of one of the central midfielders being pushed further up-field into the
playmaker position.

3-4-1-2
3-4-1-2 is a variation of 3-5-2 formation where the wing players are more withdrawn in
favour of one of the central midfielders being pushed further up-field into the
playmaker position, the “number 10”. This formation is suitable for the games you are
trying to win by keeping the ball in the middle and creating opportunities using your
midfielders.

3-4-2-1
A variation of 3-4-1-2 formation but more attacking. 3-4-2-1 has more attackers (3
forwards – LF, CF/ST and RF) and is designed for the games where you are not only
trying to win the game but also trying to score more than one goal.

32
3-4-3
Using this formation, your midfielders are expected to split their time between
attacking and defending. Having only 3 defenders means that if the opposing team
breaks through the midfield, they will have a greater chance to score than with a more
conventional defensive configuration, such as 4–5–1 or 4–4–2. However, your 3
forwards allow for a greater concentration on attack. This formation is used by more
offensive-minded teams.

3-5-2
The 3-5-2 formation has 3 central defenders (possibly with one acting as a sweeper).
This system is heavily reliant on the wing-backs providing width for the team. The two
wide full-backs act as wing-backs. It is their job to work their flank along the full length
of the pitch, supporting both the defence and the attack.

3-5-1-1
Same as the 3-5-2 formation, but in 3-5-1-1 you have two CF upfront rather than having
two ST players besides each other. This formation works better when you’re trying to
manage your attacks by crosses from the sides and scoring goals from the centre of your
attacking line.

4-1-2-1-2 Wide
This formation has 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 forwards. 4 midfielders in 4-1-2-1-2
formation are CDM, CAM, RM and LM. The CDM will help the defenders on defending
while CAM can join strikers to participate in attacks.

4-1-2-1-2 Narrow
This is a variation of 4-1-2-1-2 formation, but in this formation, there are no wingers in
the midfield, which means the flank midfielders could be central midfielders (CM) as
their roles are more concentrated in the centre of the field and they stay closer to each
other in comparison to 4-1-2-1-2 formation.

4-1-4-1
A defensive edition of the classic 4-4-2 formation. 4-1-4-1 formation has 4 defenders, 1
defensive midfielder, 4 midfielders and one attacker. Using this formation, you will be
able to win the ball possession better and to do counter attacks using your sole striker.

4-2-2-2
Using two strikers in this formation will allow you to create more goal-scoring
opportunities. Having two central attacking midfield players and two central defending
midfield players will help your team to be able to perform attacks and defences with
more players. Attacking using 4-2-2-2 formation will require being more on the ground
and using the central area of the field.

4-2-3-1 Narrow
The 4-2-3-1 (Narrow) formation seems to be defensive, but it is quite a flexible
formation, as the wingers and the full-backs can both join the attack. The midfielders

33
behind the single attacker are attacking midfielders (CAM) and the two midfielders
behind them are defensive (CDM) which means they are helping the defenders.

4-2-3-1 Wide
4-2-3-1 (Wide) is a less attacking version of 4-2-3-1 (1 / Narrow) formation. Instead of
having two CAM players, using this formation, you will have a RM and a LM, which could
assist your sole striker from the sides and also using the long aero balls.

4-2-4
The 4–2–4 formation attempts to combine a strong attack with a strong defence. Its
main strength lies in the huge attacking threat that this can pose, whilst still having a
flat back four to keep you protected at the back. However, there is a lack of players in
the midfield and therefore requires two CMs of the very highest quality.

4-3-1-2
Two strikers and one CAM in this formation will allow you to do the attack. Three other
midfielders (CM or CAM players) will help your attack and defence. The formation
focuses on the attacking midfielder moving play through the centre with the strikers on
either side.

4-3-2-1
The 4-3-2-1 formation is the ultra-attacking version of 4-3-1-2. Using this formation,
you will have three attackers, which means you are supposed to create more goal
opportunities.

4-3-3
4-3-3 Flat is considered as a safe attacking formation where you have three attackers
and a flat defensive line. This formation utilises wingers and allows them to play right
up close to the touchline. The 4-3-3 is fantastic for those players who prefer to make use
of crossing the ball from these positions.

4-3-3 Holding
Almost identical to a 4-3-3, this formation has a slightly more defensive emphasis.
Instead of having three midfielders across the middle of the pitch in a horizontal line,
the central player will drop into the CDM position and ‘pull the strings’ from a deeper
role. This anchor player becomes a focal point in this formation and requires high
defensive and passing stats. He will support both CB’s when your opponent has
possession and look to create counter-attacks as soon as you will the ball back.

4-3-3 Defend
This formation is even more defensive than 4-3-3 (2), using this formation you will have
two central defending midfielder players on the sides and one central midfielder in the
middle. This formation can work well if you are comfortable in possession and possess
players with the ability to play accurate long balls.

34
4-3-3 Attack
This formation is slightly more attacking than the 4-3-3 (2). Instead of having a CDM
player, using this formation you will have a CAM just ahead of both the wide CM’s and
offers more support for the lone ST. It is more suitable for users who like to go on the
offensive more often and not only offers attacking options from either wing but also
through the middle via the CAM.

4-3-3 False 9
The 4-3-3 (5) formation is an edition of the 4-3-3 formation, which doesn’t use a striker.
Instead, it utilises a centre forward. The centre forward is required to play deeper than
a conventional striker and become more involved in the play in the final third.

4-4-1-1 attack
This formation is a variation of the basic 4-4-2 formation but, with a centre forward
instead of a second striker, it allows much greater control over the midfield without
sacrificing a well-organised defence.

4-4-2 Flat
The 4–4–2 formation usually staggers the midfield. The width in the team has to come
from the full-backs pushing forward. In the Four-Four-Two formation, the midfielders
are required to work hard to support both the defence and the attack.

4-4-2 Holding
This is the midfield defensive edition of the 4-4-2 Flat formation which mostly attacks
down the wing or via long balls forward.

4-5-1
This formation is originally defensive, however, if the two midfield wingers play a more
attacking role, it can be likened to 4–3–3. The packed centre midfield makes it difficult
for the opposition to build-up play.

4-5-1 Flat
This formation is generally considered more defensive than the 4-4-2, but with a
strong/tall target man, it can work very well. The packed midfield works well to keep
the ball and creates a strong horizontal line which can be difficult to play against.

5-2-1-2
In this formation, you will have 5 defenders including 3 central defenders (CB) one of
them is a sweeper and 2 wide full-backs acting as wing-backs, who will be helping the
midfielders and strikers on attacks - especially on counter-attacks.

5-2-2-1
This formation includes 5 defenders including 3 central defenders (CB) – one of them
could be a sweeper, and 2 wide full-backs acting as wing-backs, who will be backing the
strikers on quick counter-attacks. With 3 attackers (LW, RW and ST), you will be able to
perform a counter-attack from the wings as well as the centre.

35
5-3-2
he 5-3-2 has three CB players (possibly with one sweeper.) This system is reliant on the
wing-backs providing width for the team. The two wide full-backs act as wing-backs. It
is their job to work their flank along the full length of the pitch, supporting both the
defence and the attack.

tournament (LvL), your league will either gain fame points or lose fame points.

9.4. Rank
Your league will be ranked against other leagues based on the number of fame points it
has. Rank 1 is assigned to the league with the highest number of fame points.

9.5. Chat

You can sort the leader-board by Leaders (League Championship), most fans, highest
player (account) level, and team Overall Rating (OVR).

9.7. Friendlies
You can challenge any League members to a match by tapping on them and selecting
‘play’. You'll be able to review previous turns and track your record against them.
These matches do not determine your internal League leader-board placement.
41
9.8. Tournament
A league tournament is a 24 -hour event between two Leagues that have anywhere from
4v4 to 32v32 member matchups. You can access League Tournaments by tapping the
Tournaments panel.

9.8.1. Create a Tournament

You will see the Tournament search screen after you tap on the Tournaments panel. Tap
‘Find Opponent’ to set your team and select which League members will play in the
Tournament, then start your search for an opposing League.

Only Admins and the Owner can start a Tournament.

9.8.2. Setting starters

League Owners and Admins can decide which members can play in a Tournament.

Simply tap the ‘reserve’ button to remove a member from the Tournament and tap the
‘active’ button to make a member active for the Tournament. Tap the Find Opponent
button to start your search for another League.

Your League size will determine how many members must play, and Tournaments must
be started with an even number of players.

9.8.3. Finding an opposing League

Searching for an opposing League can take a few minutes. You don’t have to stay in the
League search screen, and your League will be notified when an opposing League has
been found.

After setting the starters, an admin or league owner taps ‘search for opponent’. This will
trigger the matchmaking process to find an opponent that best matches your league’s
fame.

Fame is essentially your league’s power rating, and the game will try to match your
league with another league that has the same number of fame. The overall rating of
teams in your league or the other leagues has no bearing in the matchmaking process.

When the game starts searching for a match, it starts by looking for another league that
is also searching and has the same fame as your league’s. After waiting for a few seconds
and no match is found, the game will expand the fame by a few percentage points
higher/lower and keep searching. It will continue to repeat this process until a match is
found.

Sometimes there will be matches where the difference in the fame between opponents
is greater than normal matchmaking parameters. This occurs because an opponent-
league close to your league’s fame may not have been available at the early stages of the
search, and the matchmaking system expanded the available pool of leagues to find your
league an opponent.

42
9.8.4. Gaining and losing fame points
At the end of the tournament, your league will gain or lose fame points depending on
the outcome of your match. Win or tie and your league gains fame points. Lose, and
fame points are subtracted.

The number of fame points your league gains or loses is based on the quality of your
opponent, which is measured by the differences in fame. A win versus a league with
higher fame will reward your league with more fame points than if your league were to
defeat a league with lower fame. Conversely, losing against a league with lower fame
than your league’s will result in greater fame points deducted than if your league were
to be defeated by a league with higher fame.

The algorithm can kick out at least starters or add at least 2 reserves (subject to
availability) if it takes too long to find a match using the initially given number of
starters.

9.8.5. Tournament play

League Tournaments last for 24 hours. League members should each play all three of
their turns during that time. You can challenge any opponent if they have a Play icon
next to them. Each opponent can only be played against three times.

Your League score is determined by how many goals your members score on their
turns. The League with the most goals wins.

9.8.6. Chat
You'll be able to chat with your League teammates in real-time by tapping the Chat
button. You can also chat with the other League but be careful not to give away your
strategy.

9.8.7. Cooldown
If you were selected as a starter in the tournament and you decide to leave the league
before the tournament ends; the time remaining for the tournament to end will be your
cooldown time. This is the time you will have to wait before you can be selected as a
starter in any tournament if you join another league. At the end of your cooldown
period, you will not get any rewards associated with the result of the tournament you
were in before you left.

9.9. Championship
League Championships are bracketed Tournaments made up of members from just your
League. For each pair of players, each member can take up to two turns against their
opponent.

Create a Championship
On the League Championship screen, you can view past Championships or create a new
one. An Owner or Admin must tap the Start a Championship button to create a new
Championship.
43
Setting it up
League Owners and Admins set which members play in a Championship. The top three
ranked members from the previous Championship must be in the League
Championship, while the rest of the members are optional.

Owners can also adjust settings of the Championship like difficulty, seeding type, and
round length.

Bracket play
You'll be notified if you're in a League Championship after it starts. When you go into
the screen, the brackets will be seeded, and you'll play your turns against your
opponent. The player with the most goals wins.

Rounds
League Championships are broken up into rounds and each round has a time limit. If
everyone finishes early the next round will start earlier, but still, end at the same time
as it would have before.

Byes
Byes give you an instant win and may be given due to an unevenly filled bracket or if
someone forfeits a round.

Ties
There are no Draws if the scores are equal in League Championships. The user who has
the higher League Ranking wins.

Even if you lose, you can still place higher than others who've lost in your round. You do
this by winning more matches, scoring more goals, and doing it as quickly as possible.

45
10. Competition modes
10.1. Versus Attack (VSA) match
This a quick and simple 90-second match where you compete in real-time against an
opponent. Each user is given various grades of chances in quick succession, to score
more than their opponent in the allotted 90 seconds. In this mode, you do not have to
wait for your turn.

The clock never stops for corners, free kicks, out of bounds, or penalty kicks. So, your
best strategy is to play smart, be efficient, score as quickly as possible, and run as many
attacks as you can before time runs out

10.1.1. Matchmaking
To start a match, enter into the VS Attack hub from the Main Hub, and press the Play
button. This will trigger the matchmaking process to find an opponent that best
matches your fan count.

Fan count is essentially your team’s power rating, and the game will always try to match
you with another player with the same Fan count/power, regardless of their team’s
overall rating (OVR).

When you press the ‘play’ button, the game starts searching for a match. It starts by
looking for another player who is also searching and has the same fan count as you. In
the lower divisions, this almost always happens instantaneously (if network speeds
permit). However, in the higher divisions where there are fewer players overall, there
may not be another player with the same fan count as you are searching at precisely
that moment in time. So, after waiting for a few seconds, the game will expand the fan
count by a few percentage points higher/lower and keep searching. It will continue to
repeat this process until a match is found.

Sometimes there will be matches where the difference in the number of fans between
opponents is greater than normal matchmaking parameters. This occurs because an
opponent close to your fan count may not have been available at the early stages of the
search, and the matchmaking system expanded the available pool of users to find you an
opponent.

10.1.2. Gaining and Losing Fans

At the end of the 90 second time limit, you will gain or lose fans depending on the
outcome of your match. Win or tie and you gain fans for your team (the exception being
that a tie in FIFA Champions does not gain you fans). Lose, and fans are subtracted.

The number of fans you gain or lose is based on the quality of your opponent, which is
measured by the differences in fan count. A win versus a player with a higher fan count
than you will reward you with more fans than if you were to defeat a player with a
lower fan count than you. Conversely, losing against a player with a lower fan count
than you will result in greater fans deducted than if you were to be defeated by a player
with a higher fan count.

46
10.1.3. Chances
At the start of a match, you will arrive at a match preview screen that displays the types
of chances and percentages thereto, that each team will be allocated.

There are 4 types of chances:

• Great - Plays such as 2-on-1s, breakaways and Penalties, all of which have a high
probability of success
• Good - Plays that begin in the attacking third with a decent opportunity to score
with a through ball, a good cross to the net or a Free Kick
• Basic - Plays that begin around midfield with multiple defenders and less space
to manoeuvre, including kick-off. These are more difficult chances, but with a bit
of skill and finesse you can still convert these opportunities into a goal
• Counter Attacks - Defending your own goal against your opponent’s offensive
players

At the beginning of the match, the algorithm rates your team based on your OVR and
chemistry then compares the rating to that of your opponent’s team to determine the
percentage and type of chances each team should receive.

The algorithm assumes the same fixed number of chances (e.g. 10) will be taken by each
player for the duration of the match. If any of the players use their assumed fixed
number of chances (10) before 90-seconds elapses, they get the second bucket of
chances and the process starts all over again.

Equally rated teams will receive a relatively equal distribution of chances, but
differences in OVR/Chemistry will result in the higher-rated team having the potential
to generate more Great and Good chances while the lower-rated team will have fewer
opportunities at higher quality chances. For considerable differences in OVR and
Chemistry, the lower-rated team will also see Counter Attacks.

10.1.4. Chances distribution

For each player, the order in which the chances of each type appear will vary every time
they play.

Take two players: Player-1 and Player-2. Assume that:

• Player 1 and player 2 are initially set to take 10 chances each, for the duration of
the 90-seconds of the match
• Player-1 has 40% Great chances, 50% Good chances and 10% Basic chances
• Player-2 has 20% Great chances, 60% Good chances and 20% Basic chances

when the match begins, the game will take the percentages and apply them to ‘10
chance bucket’ and the chances may look like this:

Table-1
Player 1 Player 2
Chance 1 – Good Chance 1 – Basic
Chance 2 – Great Chance 2 – Good
Chance 3 – Great Chance 3 – Good
47
 Chance 4 – Good Chance 4 – Great
Chance 5 – Good Chance 5 – Good
Chance 6 – Good Chance 6 – Basic
Chance 7 – Great Chance 7 – Great
Chance 8 – Good Chance 8 – Good
Chance 9 – Basic Chance 9 – Good
Chance 10 – Good Chance 10 – Good

But during the match, end up looking like this:

Table-2
Player 1 Player 2
Chance 1 – Good Chance 1 – Great
Chance 2 – Basic Chance 2 – Great
Chance 3 – Good Chance 3 – Good
Chance 4 – Great Chance 4 – Good
Chance 5 – Good Chance 5 – Good
Chance 6 – Good Chance 6 – Good
Chance 7 – Great Chance 7 – Good
Chance 8 – Great Chance 8 – Good
Chance 9 – Good Chance 9 – Basic
Chance 10 – Great Chance 10 – Basic

10.1.5. Some Implications

1) If any of the players do not take their chances within 90-seconds of the match,
each may miss on using higher quality chances allotted to your team
2) If each player takes all their allotted chances before 90-seconds of the match,
they will get more chances
3) To win, either player needs to convert more chances into goals than their
opponent, regardless of how many chances each of them manages to take in 90-
seconds
4) A lower-rated team can win against a higher-rated team

10.1.6. Last Minute Goals

At the end of a match, you may see a notification:

“Please wait for your opponent to finish. It should only be a few seconds longer.”

Various factors can impact waiting times post-match, such as:

• Network delays.
• Unstable connection of either player
• Your opponent having started the match a few seconds later than you
• Your opponent having had an extra second or two in their match if they were
inside the box with a scoring opportunity when their clock ran out.
• Your opponent having force-closed the game or lost connection momentarily and
servers waiting to see if they reconnect.

48
Any of the above factors can also affect last-minute goal(s) received by the servers. The
score you see right when the match ends (i.e., 3-2) may occasionally be different than
what is displayed in the match summary (i.e., 3-4).

The FIFA Mobile team understands that this can “feel” unfair like your opponent is
getting a lot more time to play than you, but the FIFA Mobile team says that this is not
the case. Both users get the same amount of time to play, with the final few seconds you
have to play your last chance of the game being the only tiny variance. They are
investigating ways to improve your experience, but some instances are simply out of
their control.

10.2. Head-to-Head (H2H) match

This is a real-time match where you sync with a live player to play a full 11 vs 11 game
with two-minute halves. It’s like VS Attack, but it uses cups for matchmaking instead of
fans and you cannot reconnect to a match if the app crashes or you lose connection.

Head-to-Head has its minimum spec requirements to play. Make sure you meet them
here.

10.2.1. Matchmaking
To start a match, press the ‘play’ button. This will trigger the matchmaking process to
find an opponent that best matches your cups count.

Cup count is essentially your team’s power rating, and the game will always try to
match you with another player with the same cup count/power, regardless of their
team’s overall rating (OVR).

When you press the ‘play’ button, the game starts searching for a match. It starts by
looking for another player who is also searching and has the same cup count as you. In
the lower divisions, this almost always happens instantaneously (if network speeds
permit). However, in the higher divisions where there are fewer players overall, there
may not be another player with the same cup count as you are searching at precisely
that moment in time. So, after waiting for a few seconds, the game will expand the cup
count by a few percentage points higher/lower and keep searching. It will continue to
repeat this process until a match is found.

Sometimes there will be matches where the difference in the number of cups between
opponents is greater than normal matchmaking parameters. This occurs because an
opponent close to your cups count may not have been available at the early stages of the
search, and the matchmaking system expanded the available pool of users to find you an
opponent.

10.2.2. Gaining and Losing Fans

At the end of the game, you will gain or lose cups depending on the outcome of your
match. Win or tie and you gain cups for your team (the exception being that a tie in FIFA
Masters does not gain you fans). Lose, and cups are subtracted.

49
The number of cups you gain or lose is based on the quality of your opponent, which is
measured by the differences in cups count. A win versus a player with a higher cup
count than you will reward you with more cups than if you were to defeat a player with
a lower cup count than you. Conversely, losing against a player with a lower cup count
than you will result in greater cups deducted than if you were to be defeated by a player
with a higher cup count.

10.3. Skill game

Skill game is a mode that lets you complete a training drill using a certain player, to earn
rewards. Different skill games test not only your skills to perform a drill using a player,
but also your ability to choose the right player to use to perform the drill.

By default, the skill game picks a player based on their position on your active line-up’s
formation.

10.4. Squad building challenge

Squad Building Challenge (SBC) is a mode that contains a challenge that tests your
squad building skills. By playing this challenge, you trade players used to complete the
challenge for rewards.

The challenge has requirements based on each players’ biography and overall rating.

50
11. Events & quests

12. Market
The market is a place to buy and sell tradeable players. Not every player-card can be
sold or bought from the market and you can buy or sell player-cards in their base
version only.

The market will unlock when your account reaches a certain level.

Any player-card bought from the market is automatically added to your reserve players.
You can view your reserve players in the ‘My team’ hub under the ‘Players’ tab.

12.1. Browse
Under the ‘Browse’ tab you can sift through player cards you can buy. Buying a player
card costs coins.

You can narrow down which player-cards to see, by setting different inputs in the
options provided by the ‘Search’ feature.

Players-cards in the markets are displayed with the following:

Listing-time
This is the time (hh:mm:ss) left before the player card cannot be bought.

Start-price
This is the number of coins it will cost you to start your bid on the player card.

Current bid
If any, this is the number of coins you or another gamer has bid on the card.

Buy now
This is the number of coins it will cost you to immediately buy the player card.

12.1.1. Buy
The cost of immediately buying a player card is shown as the ‘Buy now’ amount.

To buy a card:
• Tap on the player-card
• Tap on “Buy now”

The number of coins will be deducted from your account and the player-card will be
added to your reserve players.

12.1.2. Bid
The cost of bidding on a player-card is:
• ‘Start price’ amount, if no bid has been made on that player-card
• Minimum 100 + ‘Current bid’ amount, if a bid has been made on that player-card

52
To bid on a card:
• Tap on the player-card
• You can adjust the minimum bid amount already set by the game
• Tap on “Place bid”

The respective number of coins will immediately be deducted from your account.

The player card can be claimed at the expiry of its listing time if your bid is the highest
when the listing time expires. If another gamer out-bids you before the listing time
expires, you can claim back your coins and/or make another bid.

12.2. Search
There are a lot of players in the market and the ‘Search’ feature helps you filter the
player-cards displayed.

12.2.1. Player name

This is where you can limit the search results based on the player’s full name or part
thereof.

The player cards typically don’t show the full name of the player. In this field, you can
search using any of the player’s names even though if it’s not written on the player card.

This field has a limit of 25 characters.

Include a player in the search results

You can choose to see player cards associated with a player(s) with certain
names/name-pattern only.

You can type the name/name-pattern in soft brackets e.g. (walker) or (Walk*). The case
of the letters in the name/name-pattern don’t matter

Having typed :
• (Arnold) – search results will show any player-card associated with a player
having ‘Arnold’ as one of his names
• (Arnold)(*alker) - search results will show any player-card associated with a
player having ‘Arnold’ as one of his names or whose part of any of his names
ends with ‘-alker’
• (Arnold)(*alker)(Bis*) - search results will show any player-card associated
with a player having ‘Arnold’ as one of his names or whose part of any of his
names ends with ‘-alker’ or begins with ‘Bis-‘

Exclude a player from the search-results

You may not want to see player cards associated with players with certain
names/name-pattern in the search results.

You can do this by placing an exclamation mark before putting the name/name-pattern
in soft brackets e.g. !(walker).

53
Having typing :
• !(Arnold) – search results will not show any player-card associated with a player
having ‘Arnold’ as one of his names

players in any of your line-ups will not show in the market. You can use ‘Filter’ to

suggested price)
56
 3) Set how long you want the player-card to be listed for sale
4) Tap “post item” (“Post item” will be active if the player-card is tradeable)

If sold, you can claim the coins it was sold for (minus 5% tax if you haven’t claimed the
‘market perk’ from one of the rewards in VIP Ranking.

If not sold, you can claim back the player card at the end of its listing time.

You cannot claim back the listed item once it’s sold or before its listing time expires.

12.3.2. How a listed player-card gets sold

The market is a regulated bunch of algorithms commonly referred to as “the bot”. So, in
the market, a gamer sells to and buys from the bot and not to/from another gamer.

The bot’s inventory is what you see under the ‘Browse’ tab in the ‘Market’ hub. A gamer
buys cards from the bot’s inventory.

The bot seeks to maintain a certain number 𝑛 of any player-card 𝐶 in its inventory at a
given time.

To achieve this, the bot maintains:

A. Inventory: 𝑛 duplicates of player-card 𝐶

B. Queueing list: player-card 𝐶 duplicates listed for sale to the bot by gamers
around the world. This list is not visible to the gamer

Emulating supply and demand laws:

1) When the number of player-card 𝐶 duplicates in the inventory is less than 𝑛, the
bot buys the cheapest player-card 𝐶 duplicates listed in the queueing list
a. After the bot buys the player-card 𝐶 duplicate from the queueing list, it
places it in its inventory. The ‘Start price’ of this duplicate will be the
number of coins the bot bought it for. The bot will set a ‘Buy now” price
that is higher than ‘Start price’

2) When the number of player-card 𝐶 duplicates in the inventory is 𝑛, the bot will
not buy any player-card 𝐶 duplicate listed in the queueing list

12.4. My listings
Under this tab, you will see all player cards you have listed for sale.

If your player card's listing time expires, it will no longer be listed for sale. You have to
claim it back before you can see it in your roaster, otherwise, it will always be under the
‘My Listings’ tab.

There is a limit to the number of player cards that can be left unclaimed in the ‘My
listings’ tab.

57
12.5. My bids
Under this tab, you will see all the player cards you have bid on.
