Story Highlights

A new progression system is here, replacing shards with Draft-based planning.
Drafts and Phase 2 Tokens give players complete control over squad building.

Okay, so Team of the Year (TOTY) is finally here in FC Mobile! And honestly, it’s pretty different than what I expected. Forget everything you know about collecting shards and buying those usual 3,000-gem packs – this TOTY is shaking things up!

The game is now centered around a new system called Draft and Exchange, which uses a long-term currency called Phase 2 Tokens. Once you grasp how this system works, managing everything in FC Mobile 26’s Team of the Year (TOTY) event will be much simpler. This guide will explain everything you need to know.

FC Mobile 26 TOTY Event Explained

FC Mobile 26 TOTY Schedule

The event starts on January 15th, 2025, and will feature several weeks of new content released in stages. The first week will include the announcement of Attacker Nominees and the first Icon Team.

In week two, we’ll introduce Midfield Nominees and the second Icon Team. Week three will feature Defenders and Goalkeepers, along with the third Icon Team. Then, around week four, the highly anticipated Team of the Year (TOTY) event begins, showcasing the best XI players, plus a 12th player chosen by fans.

TOTY Progression and Draft explained

The Team of the Year (TOTY) event works like this: you use Gems or FC Points to purchase FC Draft Vouchers. These vouchers allow you to open the TOTY Draft and get a player. If you’re not happy with the player you receive, you can exchange the card for Phase 2 Tokens.

Okay, so after earning those Phase 2 Tokens, I head over to the TOTY Exchange and use them to pick exactly what OVR tier player I want. It all kicks off with the Draft, and in the first week, it’s the TOTY Attacker Draft. Basically, every time I use a Draft Voucher, I get a random player from a set of available options.

You won’t get a top-tier (TOTY) card with every try, but the game is designed to help you eventually get better rewards. The more drafts you do, the better your chances become. You’re guaranteed at least a Pool B reward within 10 drafts, and a Pool A reward within 87 drafts.

Even if you draft a player you don’t immediately need, it’s still a worthwhile pick. Every drafted player can be traded for Phase 2 Tokens, meaning no draft pick is a waste this year. As the season progresses, you’ll unlock drafts for midfielders and defenders, but they all contribute to the same token system.

Phase 2 Tokens and TOTY Exchange System

Phase 2 Tokens are essential for the event. You get them by trading players you don’t need from your Draft packs. The best part is, these tokens don’t expire – you can save them and use them even after the Team of the Year event is over, so there’s no rush to spend them!

Exchange values are fixed, and they are calculated by the following:

Player OVR Exchanged	Phase 2 Tokens Earned
113 to 115 OVR	5 Tokens
116 OVR	50 Tokens
117 OVR	150 Tokens

If you are looking to exchange the tokens for the players, the requirements are as follows:

Player OVR Claimed	Phase 2 Tokens Required
108 to 112 OVR	5 Tokens
113 OVR	25 Tokens
114 OVR	50 Tokens
115 OVR	75 Tokens
116 OVR	300 Tokens
117 OVR	900 Tokens

Main TOTY and Icons Chapter

The main Team of the Year (TOTY) section is where you’ll spend most of your time. You’ll play Skill Games and PvE battles that get harder as you progress. Completing these earns you TOTY Tokens and special rewards for reaching certain milestones.

The more Team of the Year (TOTY) players you get, the more rewards become available. You can use your TOTY Tokens on the right side of the screen to buy packs that give you even more players and resources for Drafts and Exchanges.

The Icons Chapter progresses as you play the game. Finish 20 Icon Challenges to earn a 112 OVR Team of the Year (TOTY) Icon player. You can then improve that Icon to 114 OVR by using extra players and resources.

Star Pass and Event Boosts

The Star Pass is particularly valuable this year. Both the free and paid versions give you FC Draft Vouchers, letting you try out the Draft mode more often. This is a big shift from previous Star Passes, which mainly offered coins, gems, and players.

The Star Pass offers extra goodies like special backgrounds and banners, and the biggest reward is a top-tier Samuel Eto’o player card with an overall rating of 115. This Eto’o card starts at the gold rank and is known for his speed and shooting ability.

This year’s Team of the Year (TOTY) event features improved TOTY Badges, which can now reach Level 5 – a step up from the usual Level 3 in past events. The first set of badges offers boosts like +10 Strength, +10 Long Passing, and +10 Curve, and also gives you extra points to progress further.

FC Mobile 26 TOTY Final Thoughts

That wraps up our guide to the Team of the Year (TOTY) event in FC Mobile 26. Now, you have several options to pursue: Drafts, Phase 2 Tokens, Exchanges, Icons, Star Pass rewards, and building your team over time. Your success will depend on how consistently you play the game.

Okay, so TOTY 26 is a bit of a slog, but honestly, it’s the fun kind of grind. I’m just logging in and doing the event each day, and it feels good to see progress slowly build up. What I really like is that you’re actually working towards a specific player you want, instead of just relying on luck. If you put in the time and make some smart choices, you can really upgrade your team, even if the card you get isn’t something you can trade.
