Captain Event: Pros ✅ & Cons ❌ – Complete Breakdown

The latest Captain Event is live in FC Mobile and runs for 35 days. Here’s an in-depth look at the pros and cons so you can decide how to maximize your grind.

Pros of the Captain Event ✅

• Massive Reward Pool:
  Throughout the event, players can earn valuable resources like gems, coins, event tokens, and shards. This makes it highly rewarding for consistent grinders.

• Special Player Discount:
  After completing the Totti Chapter, you get an exclusive 5% discount on Week 1 Captain Players, adding extra value to your tokens.

• Introduction of 3 New ICONs:

  • Totti

  • Iniesta

  • Chiellini

• You can even claim any one ICON for 1500 Captain Tokens. Their cards can receive up to a +5 OVR boost if event conditions are fulfilled.

• Weekend Challenge Pack Upgrade:
  Previously: 103–111 OVR (Untradeable)
  Now: 104–111 OVR (Untradeable) — a noticeable boost in card quality.

• Market Token Value:
  5000-token and 10,000-token pickups offer tremendous in-game resource value, making them worth prioritizing.

• Gem Pack Boosts:

  • 3,000 Gem Pack: Now offers 106–111 OVR cards, giving better chances at pulling 110–111 OVR players.

  • 2,500 Gem Pack: Now upgraded to 104–111 OVR, improving card quality.

• Rewards Chapter Upgrade:
  Totti Rewards Section grants 7 Mascherano cards, which is extremely valuable for squad building and event progression.

Cons of the Captain Event ❌

• Greatest Captain Players Are Hard to Obtain (F2P Issue):
  To claim a single Greatest Captain Player, you need 4000 shards.
  Alternative: Open the 200 FC Point Pack 80 times — unrealistic for most F2P users.

• Severe P2W Bias:
  These cards provide better skill points and unique traits, giving P2W players a huge advantage and creating imbalance in gameplay.

• High Cost Even for P2W Players:
  16,000 FC Points for one Greatest Captain Player is extremely expensive, making it tough even for spenders.

• Focus on Monetization Over Fun:
  Instead of making the event fun and maximizing rewards, the system feels heavily monetized, discouraging free and casual players.

• Community Frustration:
  Many players, especially kids and teens, cannot spend money on the game. Grinding 30–35 days only to fall short of your desired players is demotivating and unfair.

• Time vs. Reward Disparity:
  Spending over a month grinding should feel rewarding. Sadly, the rewards for F2P players don’t justify the time invested, making the system feel exploitative.

Final Takeaway

The Captain Event has great rewards and new ICONs, but its heavy P2W structure and reward imbalance make it controversial. EA needs to find a fairer middle ground to keep both F2P and P2W players engaged.
