# FC Mobile Captains Event Guide
Welcome to your ultimate breakdown of the Captains Event in FC Mobile! If you're looking to build a squad led by legendary leaders on the pitch, this event is packed with opportunities to snag high-OVR icons and exclusive rewards. We'll walk you through everything from the basics to advanced strategies, helping you maximize your progress whether you're a free-to-play grinder or splashing some points. Let's dive in and turn your team into a championship contender.
## Event Overview
The Captains Event celebrates football's iconic skippers, offering a mix of grindable content and premium perks. You'll engage in skill challenges, matches, and quests centered around four key icons: Francesco Totti, Andrés Iniesta, Giorgio Chiellini, and Dunga. These icons can receive real-time OVR boosts based on their former clubs' performances, adding an exciting layer of unpredictability. The event emphasizes collecting special armbands and shards to unlock top-tier players, with paths for both casual and dedicated players.
**Duration:** Kicks off on August 21, 2025, and runs for 5 weeks, giving you plenty of time to grind but requiring consistent daily play for the best results.
## Key Currencies
To navigate this event, you'll rely on two main resources:
- **Captains Tokens:** Your everyday grind currency. Earn them through daily skill games, PvE matches, and weekly quests. Use them to unlock reward paths, buy armbands, or claim a live OVR icon.
- **Captains Shards:** The premium grind item for high-end exchanges. Collect via quests, challenges, and Division Rivals matches. Spend them in the Gallery for elite Captains cards.
Daily earnings can hit around 470 Tokens from core activities, with shards coming from milestones and extra efforts.
## Event Chapters and Gameplay
The event is structured around a main hub with themed chapters unlocking weekly. Each focuses on one icon, blending skill games, matches, and tasks to build your collection.
### Main Chapter
This is your command center. Track the live OVR progress of Totti, Iniesta, Chiellini, and Dunga here. It also links to all other sections and highlights upcoming upgrades based on real-world matches.
### Icon-Specific Chapters
These roll out one per week, starting with Totti. Each includes:
- **Daily Activities:** Three skill games and one PvE match, refreshing every day. Completing them nets Tokens and progresses toward armbands.
- **Key Matches:** Six special challenges over the week. Finish all to earn the icon's unique Captain Armband and a themed User Logo.
- **Weekly Quests:** Tasks like scoring goals, making tackles, or earning shards. Rewards include gems, extra Tokens, special items (e.g., Mascherano cards), and Transfer Tokens.
**Weekly Schedule:**
- Week 1: Totti Chapter – Focus on Roma's legendary No. 10.
- Week 2: Iniesta Chapter – Barcelona's midfield maestro.
- Week 3: Chiellini Chapter – Juventus' defensive rock.
- Week 4: Dunga Chapter – Brazil's World Cup-winning captain.
Pro Tip: Grind these chapters fully each week to stockpile Tokens and armbands without missing out.
### Rewards Chapter
Spend your hard-earned Tokens here for big payoffs:
- **Live Icon Selection:** For 1,500 Tokens, pick one of three starting live OVR icons (Totti, Iniesta, or Chiellini at 107 OVR base). Choose based on potential upgrades – more on that below.
- **Weekly Reward Paths:** Four paths, one per week (Team Totti, Iniesta, Chiellini, Dunga). Each costs 2,500 Tokens to complete and offers a chain of prizes like coins, gems, and player packs.
- **Great Armband Collector:** Exchange 1,000 Tokens for any missing armband, or grind chapters for free ones. Collect all four (Totti, Iniesta, Chiellini, Dunga) to unlock a 108-111 OVR Captains Pack – a massive milestone for F2P players.
### Gallery Chapter
The shard exchange hub. Use Captains Shards to claim new cards added weekly. With dedicated grinding (including weekend challenges and Division Rivals), you can aim for up to two 111 OVR Captains cards. Player specifics unlock progressively, so check back often.
### Greatest Captains Chapter
For those willing to invest, this premium section features 111 OVR all-stars. Available via Captains Choice Packs (200 FC Points each, or bundles), with a pity system after 80 packs. Standouts include:
- Attackers: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Johan Cruyff
- Midfielders: Bruno Fernandes, Steven Gerrard, Lothar Matthäus
- Defenders: Philipp Lahm, Virgil van Dijk, Paolo Maldini, Javier Zanetti
- Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon
Redeem the Ultimate Captains Armband (4,000 Shards, one-time) for your pick of these elites.
## Live OVR Upgrades
What sets this event apart is the dynamic boosts for Totti, Iniesta, Chiellini, and Dunga. Upgrades tie to real-life club results over four weeks, like wins, goals, or specific achievements (e.g., Roma scoring in all matches for a Shooting boost on Totti). Monitor the Main Chapter tracker – OVR can climb by +1 or +2 per condition met. Strategy: Delay claiming your live icon until Week 4 to see full upgrades and pick the highest OVR.
## Rewards and Milestones Summary
Here's a quick table of major milestones and what they unlock:

## Strategies and Tips for Success
- **Daily Routine:** Log in every day for skill games and matches – aim for 470+ Tokens. Tackle quests for bonus shards and gems.
- **F2P Focus:** Prioritize armband collection via grinding over buying. Save Tokens for reward paths and one live icon. Hit Division Rivals for extra shards.
- **Upgrade Timing:** Don't rush opening packs or claiming icons. Wait for Week 4 OVR reveals to maximize value.
- **Resource Management:** Track real-world fixtures for upgrade predictions. If an icon's club is on a hot streak, that's your pick.
- **Premium Path:** If spending, target Greatest Captains for squad-boosting stars like Messi or Ronaldo.
- **Max Grinding:** Over 7 days in a chapter, you could net nearly 3,000 Tokens. Combine with weekend challenges for shard boosts.
