This guide will explain all the details.
FC Mobile 26 Team of the Season Explained
The Triple Formula and Tag System
This event centers around a new system called the Triple Formula. Instead of using regular money to get rewards, you’ll collect Tags, which let you choose the specific types of items you want.
The game uses three kinds of filters called Tags. League Tags let you pick a specific league – for example, the Premier League. OVR Tags let you set a minimum player rating, like 114 or higher. When you use both of these, the game only shows you rewards that fit both your league and rating choices.
Once you’ve claimed five players, a new option called ‘Custom Tag’ becomes available. This lets you further refine your targeting, allowing you to focus on specific player types like attackers, midfielders, defenders, or even special ‘Moments’ players.
A major benefit of this system is that claiming a player doesn’t cost anything extra once you’ve collected the necessary tags. It all comes down to how well you gather and utilize those tags.
As a big fan, I’m really excited about how claiming players helps you progress! Every player you claim moves you along a special track, and once you’ve claimed 40 of them, you’re guaranteed to get a really powerful 117 OVR UTOTS player when that part of the event finally launches. It’s a great way to work towards some top-tier rewards!
Star Signings and the Return of Shards
Shards have returned for Team of the Season (TOTS) and are key to getting the players you want most. The Star Signings area lets you directly pick players using shards you earn, instead of hoping for them through random packs.
During the event, you can collect Star Shards in a few different ways. Completing Daily Tasks will now always reward you with 100 shards. Plus, you can now turn unwanted TOTS players into shards, making each player you get even more valuable.
Plus, you can trade older Phase 2 Tokens for shards – each token gets you 15 shards. You can also earn shards by completing event quests over time. Here’s how the conversion rates work starting with TOTS:
| OVR (TOTS onwards) | Number of Shards |
|---|---|
| 110–114 | 150 |
| 115 | 300 |
| 116 | 600 |
| 117 | 1500 |
| 118 | 3500 |
| 119 | 5000 |
| 120 | 10000 |
TOTS Draft and 120 OVR players
The Draft mode has been updated with better rewards. It used to take around 100 attempts to earn the best prizes, but now you can achieve them in about 70. Plus, the addition of players with 120 Overall ratings will change your strategy for the event.
These cards are much harder to find, particularly when opening packs in Draft. While you might occasionally get lucky in Draft, the best way to collect these top-tier players is by using the Star Signings system and saving up shards over time.
Event Progression, Star Pass, and Additional Rewards
During the Team of the Season (TOTS) event, you’ll focus on two key activities. First, you’ll play matches and challenges in the League Chapters, which are based on different leagues, to earn rewards like tokens and tags. Second, you can earn up to three additional tags each day by playing Division Rivals matches.
The Team of the Season (TOTS) Star Pass offers a powerful reward: a 118 OVR Eric Cantona who’s ready to use with great stats and five-star skill moves. You can also use the new League Exchange to get a 117 OVR Roy Keane by spending 40,000 league points. Even if Keane doesn’t fit your current team, he’s valuable because you can trade him for approximately 2,250 Star Shards.
