Introducing Drafts

March 7, 2026

Drafts are a new way in FC Mobile to obtain Player Items to help build your team. The setup is simple: Earn Vouchers from various parts of the game or get them using Gems and FC Points. Use them in Drafts to get Player Items.

  • Voucher > Draft > Player > Use Player

Alongside Drafts we have introduced Phase Exchanges. Convert qualifying Player Items for Phase Tokens, and exchange them for Player Picks and Draft Vouchers.

  • Voucher > Draft > Player > Phase Exchange > Token > Player Exchanges

In this Deep Dive, we will explain these new features and answer some of the most frequently asked questions. Let's dive right in.

Where to Find Drafts

Head over to the Draft menu from the right-hand tile on the FC Mobile homescreen. This is the hub to use Draft Vouchers to earn Player Items.

Drafts are split into 3 Pools; A, B, and C. Each pool has their own OVR ranges with Pool A having the highest OVRs. Tap on the [MORE] button to see which Player Items are available in each pool.

How to Earn Draft Vouchers

Draft Vouchers can be earned in different parts of the game. You will typically find them earnable in Event Chapters, Star and Mini Passes, and Phase Exchanges.

You can also use Gems and FC Points to get more Draft Vouchers in the Store and the Draft Menu. 

Guaranteed Pools

You’re guaranteed to get a Player Item from Pool A or B at certain milestones. If you earn a Pool A or B Player Item from Drafts before reaching the milestone, then that progress will be reset. Each Pool tracks separately.

Progress of the same Draft type within the same Event is carried over, but progress is not carried over between Events and different Voucher types.

For example, during TOTY the progress carried over from the Attackers Draft to the Midfielders Draft as they share the same Draft type in the same Event. That progress was not carried over to the UTOTY Draft that uses a different Draft type, or to the Capped Legends Draft as it is a different Event.

Types of Drafts

Draft Vouchers are split into different types; 

  • Hot
  • Deluxe
  • Festive
  • Kick Off

Which type of Voucher the Draft uses is highlighted with a tag on the Event Draft button.

Festive Drafts accept both Draft vouchers and Festive Draft Vouchers.

Phase Exchanges

Phase Tokens are a new currency in FC Mobile. They can be used in Exchanges to get Player Items from Player Picks from all Events in the current phase.

For example, you can exchange Player Items earned from Drafts for Tokens, and when you have enough Tokens you can exchange them for a Player Pick! 

A Player Pick allows you to choose one Player Item from a random selection of 3 Player Items for 113-117 OVR Exchanges, and 5 Players for 108-112 OVR Exchanges.

Each Exchange has their own Token cost, tap on the Exchanges to preview the Rewards and cost.

There is also an Exchange to earn Draft Vouchers by exchanging Player Items.

Phase Tokens can only be used during a phase, a phase lasts until the maximum OVR in FC Mobile is increased. Maximum OVR means the highest available Player Item OVR in game. As of this article's publication, it's 117 OVR.

You will find a timer that displays when they expire in the Item Exchanges menu. You will not be able to use them after they have expired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I save up my Draft Vouchers in the current phase and use them in the next phase?

  • Yes, Draft Vouchers can be used in multiple phases.

Does my Draft Progress carry over in Events?

  • Yes, as long as it uses the same Draft type within the same Event.

Can I use generic Draft Vouchers in Festive Drafts?

  • Yes, Festive Drafts accept both generic and Festive Draft Vouchers.

How can I get a Player Pick?

  • Exchanges that require Phase Tokens give a Player Pick. Player Picks are a feature where you can choose 1 Player Item from a random selection. Choose between 3 Player Items for 113-117 OVR Exchanges and between 5 Players for 108-112 OVR Exchanges.

How do I get more Phase Tokens?

  • Earn Phase Tokens by exchanging Player Items released in that phase in Item Exchanges.

When does my guaranteed Pool A/B reset?

  • Your progress resets when receiving a Player Item from a Draft from that Pool. This means that if you earn a Pool A Player Item with 20 Drafts left, your Pool A progress resets.
