Every rolled player card is tagged with both a nation and a historical era. Era matching is the second half of the chemistry link formula and the key driver of squad-wide OVR bonuses.
The 1970 era is locked behind the Legend Teams gamepass and is the era most strongly associated with the Pelé Captain card.
The 1986 era is locked behind the Legend Teams gamepass and unlocks the Maradona Captain card.
The 2002 World Cup era pool unlocks Ronaldo Nazário (R9) and the strongest defensive line chemistry bonuses in the game.
The Modern era pool is the only era accessible without a paid gamepass and is the primary path for F2P Captain unlocks.
The Classic era covers 1970-2010 cards and is most useful for filling out same-nation chemistry links when you cannot target a single year.
Keep entries useful by separating source-backed facts, player-tested strategy, and update timing.
Keep rarity, obtain method, abilities, and summary tied to official posts or repeatable in-game testing.
Link eras entries to matching builds, boss routes, and guide sections.
Keep tier values and obtain methods current after each game update.
