HEY FOOTBALLER!

The May Major Update is here — one of the biggest card system updates in the history of FootballTeam!

As part of the update, we’re introducing a massive expansion of the card collection — 78 new collections will be added to the game. Alongside that, we’re also bringing changes to the reward system, making deck progression even more satisfying.

FootballTeam will also feature the long-awaited Dual Power System, which completely changes the meaning of card slots. From now on, they won’t matter only in the early game — they’ll also play a crucial role in the endgame, becoming one of the most important elements of player development.

We’ve also expanded the slot system itself — their maximum enchantment level increases up to 35, and the possible boost reaches an impressive 2500%!

Additionally, we’re increasing the number of available slots to 15, allowing nearly the entire card deck to be affected. This will make matches even more strategic and unpredictable, while proper deck-building will become more important than ever.

Along with the overall system expansion, we’ve also carried out a full rebalance of upgrade costs, adjusting them to the new slot levels and their expanded capabilities.

At 6 PM (UTC +2), we’re also launching a two-week event (18.05 - 31.05) featuring various bonuses, special achievements, and attractive bundles.

Let’s dive into the details! ⚽🔥

NEW CARD COLLECTIONS

🃏 Card Collection Update

We’ve made a major update to card collections — adding as many as 78 new collections while also introducing changes to the reward system.

ATTENTION: Collections can now be exchanged every week — exchanging collections again on all servers will become available after every Sunday maintenance break.

Thus, rewards have been adjusted to better support steady character progression. This will make it easier to obtain key resources such as Energy, Fame Points, Golden Balls, and Team Points.

The addition of Fame Points comes directly from your feedback — many players felt there was a shortage of this resource, so we decided that card collections are the perfect place to replenish it and strengthen this part of progression.

The increased number of Team Points is a response to the development of the club system. With expanded buildings and new perks becoming available, the demand for this resource has grown significantly. Perks are powerful, and previous activities did not provide enough Team Points to fully take advantage of them.

We will continue to monitor these changes closely and adjust the balance based on real gameplay conditions, ensuring the system remains healthy and satisfying for all players.

Below, we present example new card collections along with their new rewards:

ATTENTION!

As we mentioned, among others, in the Q&A, with the update going live it will be necessary to remove the current Card Packs.

All packs will be permanently removed on May 18 at 8:00 AM (UTC +2), along with the start of the maintenance break.

SLOTS: UPDATE AND REBALANCE

⚙️ Dual Power System – new card slot mechanics

Looking at the game’s development, we noticed that card slots play a significant role at the beginning of the game, but their value gradually decreases over time. This was mainly due to the fact that slots were primarily used to strengthen cards in duels, while their impact on character progression remained limited.

That’s why we are introducing the Dual Power System, which completely changes the role of card slots and gives them significance both in the early game and in the endgame.

From now on, slot boosts work on two independent layers.

The first one is responsible for directly enhancing the player’s skills — card power translates straight into character development and overall OVR. Slots have been expanded up to level 35, and the maximum possible boost reaches 2500%, ensuring they remain highly valuable even in the later stages of the game.

The second layer applies to card duels and works independently from the skill boost. To maintain gameplay balance, cards in duels receive 1/10 of the boost value that is applied to player skills.

In practice, this means that if a level 15 slot provides a 150% boost to player skills, the card in duels will receive a 15% bonus.

Thanks to this solution, card slots are no longer just a duel-focused mechanic — they become a full-fledged part of character progression. At the same time, the balance of card gameplay is preserved, and players can develop their account regardless of whether they focus on duels or overall progression.

🧩 More slots

We are increasing the number of available slots to 15, allowing them to affect virtually the entire card deck. This makes duels more dynamic and strategic, with every part of the deck now having a real impact on the final outcome.

⚖️ Rebalance of slots cost

Alongside the expansion of the slot system, we have also carried out a cost rebalance, adjusting it to the new enchantment levels and their extended functionality.

We received clear feedback from you that early slot progression was too demanding, so we decided to reduce the costs and better align them with the increased number of slots. Additionally, we have balanced the relationship between Fame Points and Energy to make the unlocking and enchanting process smoother and more satisfying.

We will continue to closely monitor the impact of these changes on gameplay and adjust them to the current state of the game.

📈 “Beyond the Limit” and “Power Infusion” Achievement Update

Another feature arriving with the Major Update is the expansion of the “Beyond the Limit” and “Power Infusion” achievements — challenges related to unlocking slots and reaching the total upgrade level of all slots.

The achievements have been significantly expanded — we’ve added new progression milestones along with even better rewards.

Among the rewards, you’ll find Tier VII Drinks, as well as up to 10 Hero Stars.

This is another step toward expanding the endgame experience and providing additional motivation for the most advanced players.
