New Xavi Exchange added in Captains Event
The Captains Event in FC Mobile has officially entered its second week, and EA has pushed a fresh content update that brings in new cards, quests, and rewards. Week 2 of the event is already shaping up to be exciting, but the biggest surprise is the addition of a brand-new exchange for 111 OVR CM Xavi.
What makes this even more interesting is that EA has changed the way this exchange is introduced compared to previous events.
How to Unlock the Xavi Exchange
Unlike the usual approach where exchanges are found in the Exchange tab, this time EA has hidden the Xavi exchange within the Rewards Chapter of the event. Specifically, it is tied to the Team Iniesta Path.
To access the exchange
- Head to the Rewards chapter in the Captains event.
- Select the Team Iniesta tab.
- Progress through the path by claiming all the rewards along the way.
- Unlock the Team Iniesta Buff.
- At the very end of this path, a special player exchange becomes available.
- That’s where you’ll find the option to claim 111 OVR CM Xavi.
This makes the Xavi exchange feel more like a reward for fully completing the path, rather than a simple drop in the Exchange section.
Xavi’s Card Details
Overall Rating (OVR): 111
Position: CM (Central Midfielder)
Card Type: Exchange-only
Version: Untradable
This is the first high-level Xavi card in the Captains event and is expected to be a strong midfield option for many squads.
Exchange Requirements
To complete the Xavi exchange, players will need
A specific amount of Captains Shards
Multiple high OVR player cards (fodder)
The exact number may vary depending on the event structure, but early impressions suggest that the requirements are on the higher side, especially considering the card is untradable.
Community Reactions
The community’s response to this new exchange has been mixed
Many players who have been saving fodder cards are happy with the exchange, calling it a good use of extra resources.
Others feel the requirements are too demanding, especially for an untradable card. Since shards are already a premium resource in this event, adding them into the exchange makes it harder for casual or F2P players.
Still, Xavi being included is a welcome addition, and many fans appreciate EA bringing in new ways to earn exclusive players.
Final Thoughts - Is It Worth It?
The Xavi exchange is definitely tempting, especially for fans of FC Barcelona or those who need a strong CM. However
If you have spare fodder and shards, this is a great pickup.
If you’re running low on resources, it might be smarter to wait and see what other exchanges or cards arrive later in the event.
Either way, this move adds more depth to the Captains event and gives players another high-profile legend to chase.
