How does card experience (XP) work?
Every card earns 2 XP for each gameweek it plays. As XP grows, the card reaches new tiers and gets a bigger score bonus, up to +25% of the athlete's score.
Example
Your Marco card has 8 XP (+2%). After 1 more gameweek in your lineup it reaches 10 XP and tier 3: its bonus doubles to +4%. If Marco scores 400, that's 16 pts instead of 8.
How to earn XP
- Play the card: +2 XP per gameweek played in a lineup.
- Daily Streak rewards: some rewards add XP to your cards.
The tiers
| XP | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 0 – 3 | +0% |
| 4 – 9 | +2% |
| 10 – 24 | +4% |
| 25 – 49 | +8% |
| 50 – 99 | +12% |
| 100 – 149 | +16% |
| 150 – 199 | +20% |
| 200 and up | +25% |
The bonus is a percentage of the athlete's score, rounded to the nearest point, added to the card's score at each calculation.
Where to see it
Open any card: its XP and current tier are shown, with how much XP is left to the next tier. The Optimize lineup tool also estimates how many gameweeks you need.
XP belongs to the card, not to you: if you sell the card, its XP goes with it.
