Glorious Eras Star Scout Expires
EA Sports FC Mobile has officially removed the Glorious Eras version of Star Scout from the Extra Time section. Introduced during the Glorious Eras event, Star Scout quickly became one of the most engaging features in the game, offering users a more strategic and interactive way to spend Extra Time Tokens while targeting specific event players.
With Glorious Eras now concluded, this version of Star Scout is no longer available. However, the system itself has not disappeared, as EA has already rolled out a new Star Scout themed around Festive Fixtures, which follows a similar structure but uses a different currency.
What Was Glorious Eras Star Scout
Star Scout was introduced as a scouting-style feature inside Extra Time. Instead of blindly opening picks, users could gradually reveal information about a Mystery Player before deciding whether to spend tokens to claim them.
Every week during Glorious Eras, the player pool was refreshed to align with the active club chapter
Liverpool cards during Week 1
Real Madrid cards during Week 2
Bayern Munich and Juventus cards followed later
This weekly rotation kept the feature fresh and closely tied to event progression.
How Glorious Eras Star Scout Worked
Each Star Scout session revolved around one Mystery Player from a defined OVR bracket. Users had the freedom to gather information step by step.
Clue Reveal System
Each Mystery Player had up to 6 clues
The first clue was free
Additional clues required Extra Time Tokens
- 2nd clue - 150 Tokens
- 3rd clue - 250 Tokens
- 4th clue - 350 Tokens
- 5th clue - 450 Tokens
- 6th clue - 550 Tokens
Revealing all clues after the free one cost 1,750 Extra Time Tokens, but users could stop at any point and make a decision with partial information.
Types of Clues
Clues were revealed randomly and could include
- Team
- OVR
- Position
- Program (event)
- Tradability
- Nation
There was no fixed order, which added unpredictability and required users to think carefully before spending more tokens.
Buying the Mystery Player
At any stage, users could purchase the Mystery Player without revealing all clues. The cost depended on the OVR range:
105-109 OVR players cost 4,000 Extra Time Tokens
Higher OVR ranges required significantly more tokens
This scaling ensured that higher-value players demanded higher investment.
Refresh System
Each Mystery Player was available for a limited time:
Automatic refresh occurred when the timer expired
Manual refresh was possible using Gems
Refreshing updated the Mystery Player and reward pool
This allowed users to skip unwanted players and wait for better options.
Why Star Scout Was So Popular
Glorious Eras Star Scout stood out because it
Added strategy instead of pure luck
Let users control how much information they wanted
Allowed players to walk away if clues weren’t appealing
Scaled costs clearly based on potential reward
Connected directly with weekly event content
It successfully blended risk, information, and resource management, which is why it received strong positive feedback from Day 1.
What’s Next: Festive Fixtures Star Scout
Although the Glorious Eras Star Scout has now expired, EA has already introduced a Festive Fixtures Star Scout in Extra Time. The core mechanics remain largely the same, but
It uses Festive Fixtures Tokens instead of Extra Time Tokens
The player pool is aligned with the Festive Fixtures event
OVR brackets and rewards have been updated accordingly
This confirms that Star Scout is not a one-off feature, but a system EA plans to rotate alongside major events.
Final Thoughts
The Glorious Eras Star Scout leaves behind a strong impression as one of FC Mobile’s most engaging Extra Time features. Its removal marks the end of an era, but its immediate replacement with a Festive Fixtures version shows that EA sees long-term value in this format.
If future events continue to use Star Scout, it could become a permanent and much-loved part of FC Mobile’s progression system, especially for users who prefer smart decision-making over pure pack luck.
