FC Mobile 26 Exchange Guide

The Exchange feature in FC Mobile 26 lets you trade unwanted players and items for useful rewards such as players, shards, coins, and Extra Time Tokens. It is one of the most important systems for managing inventory, upgrading squads, and getting value from unused cards.

Exchanges in FC Mobile 26 are split into two main categories, each with different goals and limits. Understanding how these exchanges work will help you progress faster, save resources, and avoid costly mistakes.

This guide explains every exchange type, how they refresh, and when they are worth using.

In FC Mobile 26, exchanges are clearly divided by purpose. Some exchanges focus on improving your squad through players and rank upgrades, while others are designed to convert surplus cards into currencies used in events. Knowing the difference between each exchange type helps you decide where to spend players and coins more efficiently.

Player Exchange

Player Exchange focuses on turning players and coins into upgrades or event players. It has two main tabs, Rank Up & Training and Seasonal Event Exchange.

Rank Up & Training

This tab is always available and refreshes on a fixed schedule.

You can exchange players to earn Rank Up Points, with a limit of 200 Rank Up Points per week. This is one of the most reliable ways to use low-value players, especially untradeable ones, for long-term squad upgrades.

There is also a coin-based exchange where you can trade coins for base players. This exchange refreshes daily and is usually used for training material.

This tab is best for steady progression rather than quick rewards.

Seasonal Event Exchange

The name of this tab changes with every main event, such as Festive Fixtures or similar seasonal programs.

In this exchange, you trade players and coins for seasonal event Players. Most of these exchanges refresh weekly, with some special exchanges appearing for a limited time.

There is also a Daily Bonus Exchange, where you can trade a 70+ OVR player to receive a 80-98 OVR Player and 2x 75-97 OVR Players. This exchange resets daily and is mainly designed to help newer or casual players build depth in their squad.

“Training level cannot be inherited when performing an exchange. Please perform any necessary transfer before the exchange”.

What this means is simple. If a player has training levels applied and you use that player in an exchange, the training will not carry over to the reward player. The player will be consumed and all training XP will be lost. To avoid this, always transfer the training to another player before adding the card to an exchange.

Item Exchange

Item Exchange is used to convert players into event-related currencies or coins.

Common Item Exchanges include:

• Trading event players for event Shards
• Trading players for Extra Time Tokens
• Trading players for Coins

There are strict daily limits:

• Extra Time Tokens: up to 20,000 per day
• Coins: up to 200 million per day

Once you hit these limits, you must wait for the daily reset before using the exchange again.

Exchange Requirements Explained

Most exchanges in FC Mobile 26 use mixed requirements. This means they may accept:

• Tradeable players
• Untradeable players
• Specific OVR ranges
• Program-specific players

For example, an exchange may require a 112+ OVR player and reward a 110+ OVR seasonal event player (untradeable).

Always check:

• Minimum OVR
• Tradeable or untradeable rules
• Whether coins are required

Once an exchange is completed, it cannot be reversed, and training levels are not carried over.

How to Exchange Players

To perform an exchange:

1. Tap the Exchange menu from the Home screen
2. Select Player Exchange or Item Exchange
3. Choose the exchange you want
4. Review the requirements carefully
5. Add the required players or coins
6. Tap the Exchange button to confirm

If a player does not appear, make sure it is not locked, not in your active squad, and meets the tradeable or untradeable rules.

Exchange Not Working in FC Mobile

If you cannot complete an exchange, the cause is usually simple.

Common reasons include:

• The exchange only accepts tradeable players, but your card is untradeable
• The player is still in your Starting XI or another squad
• The player is locked
• You have reached a daily or weekly limit

In rare cases, the issue may be caused by a game-side bug from EA. However, most problems are due to requirement mismatches.

Exchange Strategy Tips

Exchanges are best used for daily and weekly bonuses. The 70+ OVR daily exchange and Rank Up Points exchanges provide steady value without market pressure.

For the coin exchange with a 200 million daily limit, one simple method is to buy 13x 96–104 OVR players at around 14.2 million coins each, which is their minimum price, then exchange them for 15 million coins each. If done daily, this method can generate around 10.4 million coins per day.

Untradeable players should be prioritized for Rank Up Points, shards, or event exchanges. Avoid using high-OVR tradeable players unless the reward clearly beats market value.

Always compare the exchange reward with the market price of the required players. Many exchanges look attractive but destroy coin value if done without checking prices.

In general, exchanges are most efficient when using surplus untradeables or players that are difficult to sell.

When used correctly, the exchange system helps reduce inventory clutter, improve squad progression, and convert unused cards into meaningful rewards.

Always check refresh timers, limits, and requirements before committing players. Smart exchange usage is one of the easiest ways to stay competitive without overspending coins or FC Points.
