FC Mobile Market Balance Feedback
Hello EA FC Mobile team,
I really enjoy playing FC Mobile, but I have one important concern about the current Market.
Player prices have become extremely high, and it is very difficult for regula...

The current Market economy is simply not sustainable.
Top players costing 15–20B+ coins makes no sense when it can take years of accumulation to reach that amount. Coins are an extremely valuable resource precisely because you cannot simply buy them — you have to earn them through gameplay over a very long period of time. Giving years of accumulated coins for one single player is simply insane.
The Market is also practically dead. There is very little supply, many top players are unavailable, and the ridiculous prices prevent any real flow between buyers and sellers.
On top of that, the probability of getting tradeable players from Vouchers is ridiculously low, so there is barely any alternative source of high-value tradeables entering the Market.
I really think EA needs to revamp the entire Market and coin economy. Prices need to come down significantly so that players are still valuable, but realistically achievable. Something around 3–4B for the very best players would make much more sense and would allow coins to actually circulate again.
The goal shouldn't be to make players cheap — it should be to make the Market functional again. Right now, billions of coins can represent years of playing time and still not be enough to buy a single top player. That's not a healthy economy.
Another suggestion: 5 substitutions
Another improvement would be to allow 5 substitutions instead of 3, with 3 substitution windows, in both H2H and Manager Mode, just like in real football.
This would be even more relevant with the upcoming ability to change tactics during matches. Players will have more tactical options and different formations to adapt to the game, but having only 3 substitutions limits those possibilities.
Allowing 5 substitutions would make matches more realistic and strategically deeper, giving players more freedom to react to fatigue, injuries, tactical changes and the way the match develops — just like in real football.
Cheers.
Agree with you reg market bro.
Apart from the sky high cost of cards, couple of things that killed market completely are:
- Earlier we can make a untradeable card trade able by ranking up trd card with untrd and sell it. I used to make good profits from this.
- There is absolutely 0pc possibility of getting a top ovr card from any packs available that can be bought with gems.
- If there is a decent (not top ovr) free card available by chance everyone gets the same card there by it becoming unsellable till it reaches bare minimum.
I don't support the later reg 5 subs though as till 2020 it was 3 subs in the game. It's only coz of COVID, 5 were allowed and I still think it's a poor decision game wise but in real world you got to think of players health as well, so that's fine, but not in video game. This will force people to build bigger squads and F2Ps will suffer further.
