Focused Training Teams

If your squad lacks skill in certain areas, schedule a match against a Focused Training Team to fancy up its footwork! Whether your defence is the weak link, your goalkeeper’s got butter fingers or your strikers can’t hit the target, there’s a Focused Training Team to test any position. Take on these teams to earn Training Cards to use as Special Combos that’ll really help you out where you need it!

Aegis AFC (R18) will work hard to keep most of the action on the player’s side of the pitch, so take the opportunity to earn some defensive Training Cards! You can play against this team after completing one season.

Raiders City (R18) prefer to hold back, giving you the chance to grab some attacking Training Cards by pushing forward into the opponent’s half! You can play against this team after completing one season.

Tough Tutors (R18) have great stamina, so your team will have to be on the ball to keep up and earn Training Cards to increase their staying power! You can play against this team after completing two seasons.

Finesse FC (R18) will keep your players on their toes with pinpoint passes and dreamy dribbling, so challenge them to pick up Training Cards that improve players’ speed and technique! You can play against this team after completing two seasons.

Strike Team (R18) have a strong goalkeeper, but they're poor elsewhere – send in your best attackers and score some Training Cards to improve your finishing! You can play against this team after completing three seasons.

Challenge Teams

Play against these weird and wonderful Challenge Teams to see a whole new side of the beautiful game! Remember, you’ll earn Training Cards against these teams too!

Football Uni (R30) might seem like a pushover at first, but they’ll improve as you play – so don’t let your guard down! You can play against this team after completing one season.

Galactic V (R30) only have five players, but they’re faster than the average player – and they have some extra-terrestrial tricks up their sleeves, too! You can play against this team after completing two seasons.

The Welcome Cup takes place from 16/05/2014 15:00 local time until 01/06/2014 23:59 local time, and a few weeks later you can enter the International Cup, starting 20/06/2014 15:00 local time until 06/07/2014 23:59 local time.
