Star Pass Rewards (Free & Premium)

In the Captains Event, Star Pass is one of the best ways to collect Shards consistently while also grabbing a variety of extra rewards. There are two types of Star Pass grinds:

1. Free Star Pass

2. Premium Star Pass

Let’s break them both down in detail 👇

1. Free Star Pass – Grind Without Spending!

The Free Star Pass is available to every player without spending a single coin. By simply playing daily activities, completing Division Rivals before reset, and doing the standard event tasks, you can grind your way to some solid rewards.

• You can claim 50 Shards for free 🔥, plus other goodies like Gems, Upgrade Fodders, and more!

• Alongside these 50 Shards, you also have the potential to gain more from the 104–111 OVR Exchange, giving anywhere between 10–250 Shards.

Free Star Pass Shards Calculation 🧩:

• From Free Pass: 50 Shards

• From 104–111 Exchange: 10–250 Shards

• Total Possible: 60–300 Shards!

This makes the Free Star Pass absolutely worth grinding, as it gives a steady flow of rewards without spending a dime.

2. Premium Star Pass – For the Extra Rewards!

For players who want to take it up a notch, the Premium Star Pass offers a much higher Shard count and bonus rewards.

• You’ll receive 180 Shards (excluding the 50 from Free Pass) just from the premium rewards.

• One of the biggest highlights is Hamsik, a versatile CM who can either strengthen your squad or be exchanged for 180 Shards.

• Alongside this, you get 1,000 FC Points, Gems, Mascherano cards, and more exclusive goodies.

If you add the 60 Shards from Free Star Pass, the total jumps to 240 Shards, and with exchanges and picks, it can go even higher!

Premium Star Pass Shards Calculation 🧩:

• Free Pass: 60 Shards

• 104–111 Exchange: 10–250 Shards

• Premium Star Pass: 150 Shards

• Exchanging Sierro (107 OVR): 30 Shards

• Free Star Pass is still worth grinding daily as it provides a decent chunk of rewards for all players.

Rewards Chapter – 108–111 Milestone (60–250 Shards)
