FESTIVE FIXTURES EVENT PROS AND CONS — FC MOBILE 26
Hey Believers 👋
We’re back with a detailed and honest breakdown of the Festive Fixtures Event currently live in FC Mobile.
This is a 4-week event, so let’s take a clear look at what it does right and where it falls short 👇
✅ PROS – Festive Fixtures Event
🎁 Rewards & Value
This event delivers a solid range of useful rewards including Gems, Coins, Shards, Festive Fixtures Players and Rank-Up Points. Overall, these rewards genuinely help improve progression and gameplay.
⚽ Premier League Fans Will Love It
The event heavily focuses on popular and meta PL players, which is a huge W.
🛣️ Road Trip Chapter
The Road Trip chapter adds extra progression and bonus rewards, making the grind worthwhile.
💼 Packs & Market Picks
- Market Pick (5000 Tokens) is great for shard progress.
- 1000 Token Picks help with Glorious Eras Badges.
- Star Scout Picks provide a strong chance at 115 OVR along with free reveal and free refresh.
- The 3K Gems Pack includes a +1 OVR boost with better odds between 110–115 OVR.
- Higher packs like 7.5k, 15k and 30k gems are expensive but give a much better chance at 114–115 players.
📈 Progression & Gameplay
- The shard system works smoothly and F2P players can grind around 2.5K to 3K shards.
- Frosty Challenge Mode rewards Gems, Rank-Up Points and Players which is great for grinders.
- Hall of Fame offers 4 free Icons which, although low OVR, are useful for newer players.
⭐ Extra Positives
An exclusive emoji can be unlocked by supporting your team 20 times and weekly quests now reward Rank-Up Points, which is a positive change.
❌ CONS – Festive Fixtures Event
😕 Main Chapters Feel Weak
The main chapters mostly focus on emoji rewards and the free players and Icons available are very low OVR.
💰 Very P2W Focused
Special Bale is locked behind real money purchases which makes the event feel heavily pay-to-win.
⚠️ Division Rivals Problems
- Division Rivals has received no major update.
- Matchmaking is poor.
- There are no rewards after 50 stars which quickly kills motivation.
- Promotion Pack OVR needs improvement and visual bugs still exist.
🛑 Progression Issues
- Rank-Up Points feel insufficient.
- Players frequently update squads but cannot fully rank them.
- Daily and Weekly challenge modes remain unchanged and boring.
- Scout Camp mostly matches players with bots.
- Gem income still feels low.
🧳 Road Trip & Exchanges
- Road Trip rewards feel underwhelming.
- The final milestone is not even max OVR.
- Some exchanges require too many resources for weak returns.
🏆 League Section Problems
Rewards after Level 50 are disappointing and grinding starts to feel pointless due to weak milestone rewards.
✅ Final Notes
- Festive Fixtures is a well-structured event overall, offering a good mix of rewards, shard progression, PL-focused content, challenge modes and pack opportunities, and there is still enough content for F2P players to grind and improve squads. 💪🔥
- Packs and Token Picks are one of the strongest highlights, as Star Scout picks, Market Picks and improved gem packs provide genuine chances to pull higher OVR players, making this event feel more rewarding than many previous ones. 🎯✨
- Shard progression remains one of the best systems EA has introduced and once again plays a key role here, with 2.5K to 3K shards F2P being a big motivating factor for players. 🔥⚽
- Road Trip, Frosty Challenge Mode and Hall of Fame add variety to the grind, giving players more objectives to chase even though some rewards still need improvement. 🛣️🚀
- However, the event clearly suffers from heavy P2W elements, with exclusive paid Bale content and low OVR free rewards widening the gap between F2P and P2W players. ❌💸
- Division Rivals remains the biggest disappointment, with outdated structure, bad matchmaking, no rewards after 50 stars and persistent visual bugs making the mode feel dead very quickly. ⚠️😓
- Rank-Up Points scarcity continues to be a major issue as players constantly update squads but cannot fully rank them, which restricts progression and enjoyment. 🛑⛔
- League rewards, Road Trip milestones and exchange value need urgent improvements, as many areas feel repetitive, unrewarding and demotivating for long-term grinding. 😕📉
- Overall, Festive Fixtures is a good event with strong potential, but it needs better reward balance, meaningful Division Rivals changes, stronger progression support and less paywall dependency to truly become great. 💥🔥
