Special Cards: What They Are

Special cards are rare, powerful items that push your club beyond the standard limits of the game. Unlike regular trading cards (available in any booster pack), special cards are only obtainable through specific card shop offers, special events, and Collect Challenges. They cannot be traded on the bazaar.

Special cards have per-season and per-player limits. These limits are designed to keep progression meaningful. Understanding them prevents frustrating situations where a card appears to do nothing.

Special Player Cards — Skill & Limit Unlocks

Surpasser Card

Unlocks all 5 skills (Keeping, Tackling, Playmaking, Passing, Scoring) by +5 for one player.

Use Surpasser cards on young players you intend to keep long-term — ideally under 25, with good training potential remaining. The +5 limit unlock compounds over many seasons of training

Limit Breaker Card

Unlocks one specific skill by +1 for one player. Available in 5 types (one per skill).

Used to fine-tune a specific skill beyond 100 when the Surpasser card is not available or has already been used. Good for pushing a near-perfect striker's Scoring from 100 to 105+.

Versatility Card

Allows a player to train a second skill at full efficiency in addition to their primary skill. Available in 5 types (one per skill).

The skill trained through the Versatility card must be actively in your training plan — otherwise the card has no effect. Set up the matching training program before applying the card.

Masterclass Card

Played in the training plan to give one player a bonus to skill progression or limits. Available in 5 position types.

When the training completes, ONE of the following is awarded to one eligible player:

• +10% extra boost on main skill progression from that training session, OR

• +0.20 to +0.50 direct skill point gain on the main skill, OR

• +0.20 to +0.50 unlock on the main skill limit (up to 115)

Additionally, after any 5 Masterclass cards used (across any position), one player has a chance to unlock their Form limit by +0.2 to +1.0 (up to 110).

If no eligible player can receive the Masterclass effect, a fallback reward is given to a random player — usually endurance, energy, or form. Make sure your training plan includes the matching position before playing the card.

Morale Breakthrough Card

Raises the morale cap above 100 for specific players. Available in 5 position types.

• 3 random players at that position each receive up to +1 morale.

• 1 random player has a 20% chance of getting their morale limit unlocked by +0.2 to +0.5 (maximum +5 total per player over all cards used).

Players currently being repositioned cannot receive the Morale Breakthrough effect.

Special Youth Cards

Top Youth Player / Gold Youth Player / Wonderkid Cards

All three card types lock the player's sale value at €1 for their entire first contract in the professional team. Extending the first contract does NOT end the €1 period — only when the first contract expires will the player gain a normal market value. Plan your talent slot and training investment accordingly.

Prodigy Card

The most powerful youth card. Available in 5 position types (Keeper, Defender, Midfielder, Winger, Striker).

• Player is aged 15–16 with strength 4.0–6.0.

• Skill limits pre-unlocked at 101–115 per skill (10% chance of one or more skills at 115–120).

• Talent already at Level 5, fully trained.

• Initial professional team contract is 40 weeks.

• Sale value locked at €1 for 40 weeks after promotion.

• Position cannot be changed.
