In this guide, I will explain everything all you need to know about FIFA Mobile Rank Up.
What is rank up in FIFA Mobile?
And how can we rank up a player?
Lets the journey begin.
What is Rank Up?
As you already know, once you upgrade a player to 110 OVR (max), you can no longer upgrade their OVR. Here, rank up comes in handy.
By using rank up, even though the OVR and the attributes of the players don’t increase, but your team’s OVR will.
For example, your team OVR is 110. If you rank up your players five times, your team’s OVR will increase 1 OVR to 111. If you rank up your players ten times, then your team’s OVR will increase to 112. And so on..
So, rank up is very useful for increasing your team’s OVR. As we know, a higher OVR means better chances at VSA.
Note: Rank up doesn’t increase players attributes at all. So the benefit is only for team’s OVR.
How To Rank Up Players
After you knew the benefits of rank up, you certainly want to know how to rank up players on FIFA Mobile.
On FIFA Mobile 18 & 19 (Season 2 & 3), to do Rank Up you must have a player with 100 OVR (without skill boost). Rank up cannot be done if your player has not reached the maximum OVR (100).
But for FIFA Mobile 20 (Season 4) and FIFA Mobile 21 (Season 5), you can Rank Up any player that you want even if their OVR hasn’t reached 100.
This is Rank Up requirements for previous seasons (S2 & S3)
On FIFA Mobile 18 (Season 2), you must have a duplicate card from the player that you want to rank up. The card version, position and OVR do not matter as long as they remain the same player.
For example, if you want to rank up Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, then you must have a duplicate card of him, such as his elite base (80 OVR), his TOTW card (83 OVR), or his Scouting card (87 OVR).
Third, you must have a base 90+ OVR player (not trained card) from the same position (Attacker, Midfielder, Defender or Goalkeeper). If the Rashford card that you want to rank up is his base card (ST) or his Scouting card (LW), then you must have a base 90 player from the attacker position (ex. RW Lens from Campaign or RW Mbappé from Trophy Masters).
If the Rashford card that you want to rank up is his TOTW card (LM) then you must have a base 90 player from the midfielder position (ex. CM Pogba from Campaign or CDM EOE Player Michael Carrick).
Fourth, you must have a 95+ OVR player (can be a base card or trained card) from the same position (Attacker, Midfielder, Defender or Goalkeeper).
Fifth, you must have a Rank Up Token. You can get Rank Up Tokens every time you level up in the game.
On FIFA Mobile 19 (Season 3), you no longer need to use duplicates to rank up players. But you still need OVR 90+ players and Rank Tokens as Rank Up requirements.
At FIFA Mobile 20 & 21, the requirements for Rank Ups are easier than previous seasons. On Season 2, you need a duplicate, 90+ base, 95+ base/trained, and tokens. On Season 3, you no longer need a duplicate, but still need a 90+ player and tokens. Now, you no longer need a duplicate and the requirement for the player is only at 78+ OVR.
But, you need Rank Up your players five times to increase your team’s OVR +1. On Season 3, you only need Rank Up three times to increase +1 team’s OVR, and on Season 2 when you Rank Up a player than your team’s OVR also automatically went up.
Season 2
1 Player Rank Up = Team OVR +1
Season 3
3 Player Rank Up = Team OVR +1
Season 4 & 5
5 Player Rank Up = Team OVR +1

Rank Transfer
Also on this season, you can transfer Ranks from one player to another without losing the player. Unlike previous seasons where your player will be gone if their Rank is transferred to another player.
The cost for Rank Transfer is the difference in Coins between the player you are transferring to and the player you are transferring from.

Diego says
I recently came back to fifa mobile after a few months out and I noticed the new rank up system so I got some rank shards to rank one of my players up, but when I click “Rank Up” a message that says “Reach Level 8 to unlock Ranks for players over 80 OVR.” appears. I’m level 40 and I have been searching to what it is referring with level 8 for about 3 weeks now. Does anybody know the solution?
Parth Maru says
Same problem with me

NICK says
Hi admin,
I made a major mistake on getting 104 UCL Lopez and hes got 10 rank on him. Currently I have a GK with 9 ranks but I’m unable to transfer over the rank to other positions other than GK to GK. Haiz.. just to feedback on this.. and I gonna waste the 9 ranks on him..cause no point i transfering it to another GK position.
admin says
Feels bad for you, you should choose a player other than Lopez
Rakshith says
I have a rudiger card with rank 5. If I transfer the rank to a card with no ranks, will that card get all the 5 ranks or will it just be rank 1
admin says
the card will get all the ranks
NICK says
Hi Admin,
I think should indicate in the above that the *ranks on GK position can only be transferred over to another GK position.* While other position can transfer ranks over to other position. This is so unfair. And I didn’t knew about this. Going to give up the 9 ranks..
trinabh maiti says

Supreme says
I have a question I have a bout 360 rare rank shards, but they do not appear when I’m trying to upgrade players, what can I do? (Common shards are there, but the rare ones don’t appear
admin says
Maybe because your players don’t need it yet. Rare rank shards are required for RU 5 and above. So it’s only visible if you want to do RU 5+.

vinay jv says
if i use already ranked up player for ranking up another player … will the rank transfer from original player to new player?
admin says
I don’t think so
Ed says
If Rank Up does not change player attributes then what is the point? Prior to ranking up, my Team OVR is equal to the weighted sum of my player OVRs. The team OVR doesn’t make anyone play any better if it is artificially increased by a rank up, right? It just means I get stuck playing harder opponents who might have the same team OVR but fewer rank ups as part of that. Am I missing something?
admin says
Yes, Rank up doesn’t made your players play better. But, if your team OVR is higher than your opponents, then you will get more ‘great chances’ in VSA.
Higher OVR = higher great chances
Lower OVR = lesser great chances and vulnerable to counter attack (if the ovr difference is 5+)
John says
I have used Rank up 17 times so that’s ok. I now have over 250 Rank up tokens – some are Elite and some Master but I can’t see the difference. Is there any?
admin says
Master and Legendary tokens are used for Rankup 5 and above
Noname says
If you are ranking up the player by another player which has ranks already, how will it affect the subject?
admin says
the subject will be ranked 1 player. If you wanna transfer the rank up, use non-100 OVR player.
NN says
So will it be anyways ranked up by 1, even though the leaving to nowhere player had like 2-3 ranks?
admin says
Yes
Sagnik says
How to transfer the rank from one player to another
louis says

MOKAME FIDLER says
How do you rank up dele alli or Ronaldo and other players which are so many and they don’t have duplicates ?
admin says
You can buy their duplicates on the market and if they don’t have any (like Icons players), then you don’t need it. Icons players for example, doesn’t need duplicates to rank up.
