Best training plans for EA Sports FC

Building a top squad in EA Sports FC Mobile isn't just about earning the best player cards in the game. Once you have those elite players, you have to train and upgrade them to boost their stats and turn them into unbeatable soccer machines. In this guide, we'll go over the best tips to remember when training your team, so you can keep your side at the top of the rankings.

When you’re upgrading individual players, you should know the difference between working on their training levels and raising their ranking. Both are beneficial and necessary to make your players the best they can be, but the strategy around them — along with when you'll want to choose each one — is different enough that you should make note of it.

Training levels increase a player's individual stats, such as running speed to shot accuracy, and are capped depending on the player's overall rank. Raising that ranking provides extra stat boosts,unlocks additional training levels, and helps the player continue to grow. Keep both of these aspects in mind when training up your team, and you'll maximize their potential quickly.

It's fully understandable that you'd want to upgrade your entire team as soon as possible. After all, you're trying to win as many games as you can, and you can’t do that if the players you're fielding aren't at their maximum potential. However, the key to your success is taking a more measured approach to training players, and that requires focusing on one player at a time.

Upgrading a single player to his maximum training levels and ranking will have a more profound impact on your head-to-head matchups – just as one star player on the real-world pitch can make all the difference. Focus your efforts on the player who is key to your strategy, then move on to the next one. Before long, your entire team will reach the max, and their performance will reflect it.

You can use other players' cards as "training XP," to train your players. As such, you may be tempted to immediately sink unused or unwanted players into training someone on your starting squad. While in theory this makes sense, building a war chest of players has its benefits as well. Hold off on pulling the training trigger instantly on a new player, as they may be key in your strategy later.

The first benefit you get is the "major upgrades to players at once" perk that comes with using multiple player cards at a time. Also, sometimes a card you originally designated for training another player might actually become handy if added to your team. If you dispense the card as soon as you receive it, you could lose out down the road. Patience is a virtue, and here, it pays off big time.

Once you have that war chest of player cards, it's time to let 'em loose. You can decide how many and which players in your reserves you want to use. When you figure out who's getting trained and who's doing the training, head into the Players menu and start upgrading your players.

Make sure you maximize one player before moving to the next one, but with enough player cards stockpiled, you should be able to maximize a few of your players in each session. There's something very cool about seeing your overall team rank rise, and mass training sessions are one of the best ways to do it.

EA Sports FC Mobile has introduced a new feature: Training Transfer. This lets you move training levels from one player to another using a new Training Transfer currency. This is a huge addition, as it allows you to change players at key positions without having to worry about wasting training levels on the inferior player.

To make the transfer to a new player card, go into the Players menu and transfer all of the training levels from the old to the new. Instantly, you’ll have a new fully trained overall player better suited to your team. Training Transfer mechanic will be key in building the best teams from now on, so get familiar with it soon.
