LIVE OVR UCL CARDS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Today, EA Sports has introduced the UCL League Phase player cards in FC Mobile, bringing an exciting new set of cards tied directly to the UEFA Champions League tournament. However, unlike traditional events, these cards are available only through store packs and chain packs, without a dedicated side or main event in-game. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how these cards work, how they upgrade, and what players can expect from this exclusive UCL promotion.
How to Get UCL League Phase Player Cards
The newly released UCL League Phase player cards are exclusive to store packs, meaning they cannot be earned through standard event milestones, exchanges, or objectives. These cards are available in both tradable and untradable versions, giving users the flexibility to keep or sell them on the market.
This store-only promotion has been met with mixed reactions from the FC Mobile community. While some are excited about the exclusivity, others are disappointed as it limits access to players who prefer earning rewards through gameplay rather than purchases.
LIVE OVR Upgrade System
One of the most exciting aspects of the UCL League Phase player cards is the Live OVR upgrade feature. These cards are designed to upgrade their OVR (Overall Rating) based on the real-world performance of their teams in the UEFA Champions League. Here’s how it works
End of League Phase: Once the League Phase of the UEFA Champions League concludes, EA will upgrade the cards based on the final team rankings.
Top 8 Teams: Players from the top 8 teams in the UCL ranking table will receive an OVR +2 upgrade.
Teams Ranked 9-24: Players from teams ranked between 9 and 24 in the table will receive an OVR +1 upgrade.
These upgrades will be applied through an in-game update after all league phase matches are complete and the final standings are confirmed.
Current OVR Range and Potential Upgrades
The initial OVR of these UCL League Phase cards ranges from 95 to 103, which sets up an exciting prospect for further growth. With a possible OVR upgrade of +2, this means that the highest-rated cards (103 OVR) could potentially reach 105 OVR, setting a new benchmark as the highest OVR in the game.
For players who manage to acquire these top-rated cards, the potential upgrade is a huge bonus and offers a significant advantage in gameplay.
Notable Players in the UCL 25 League Phase Promo
Some big names and high OVR cards have been included in this UCL League Phase release. Here are a few of the standout players
103 OVR LB Alejandro Balde
103 OVR CM Nicolò Barella
103 OVR RB Kyle Walker
103 OVR CB Ibrahima Konaté
103 OVR LW Gabriel Martinelli
103 OVR RW Rodrygo
These top-rated players not only bring high stats but also the chance to increase their OVR if their teams perform well in the Champions League.
Potential Future UCL Event
While this initial release is limited to store-only packs, it’s highly likely that EA will introduce a more comprehensive UCL main event later in the season, possibly around the start of the knockout rounds. This could provide additional opportunities for players to earn UCL-themed rewards through gameplay, objectives, or other event-based methods.
A full-scale UCL event would allow more players to engage and acquire special Champions League-themed items without relying solely on store purchases. This speculation is a point of excitement for the community, as a dedicated event might bring new challenges, resources, and rewards tied to the prestigious tournament.
Community Reaction and Feedback
The FC Mobile community has been vocal about this store-exclusive approach to the UCL League Phase cards. Many players were hoping for additional ways to earn these cards, such as through exchanges, objectives, or event milestones. The decision to limit these cards to paid store packs has been disappointing for users who don’t wish to spend currency on promotions.
However, the Live OVR upgrade system is a unique feature that brings added excitement, as players can follow the real-world progress of their favorite teams and anticipate boosts for their in-game cards. Despite some criticism, the potential for top-tier UCL cards to reach 105 OVR has also generated buzz among collectors and competitive players alike.
Final Thoughts
The UCL League Phase player cards are an exciting addition to FC Mobile, offering high-value cards with dynamic OVR potential based on real-world UEFA Champions League results. While the store-only access is limiting, the prospect of future upgrades and potential new content in later stages of the Champions League keeps the anticipation high.
If you’re a player with access to store packs, this is a great chance to secure some of the game’s top cards. For others, holding out for a potential UCL main event could be worth the wait. Either way, the return of the Champions League-themed cards brings a fresh layer of excitement and competition to FC Mobile as we progress through the football season.
