FC Mobile 26 Update - New Rank Up Currency Explained
With the release of the FC Mobile 26 update, one of the biggest changes introduced is the new Rank Up system. The familiar URP Mascherano and Dudek items that users have been using for months are now gone, replaced by a brand-new Rank Up Points currency. This change completely reworks how Rank Ups function, making the process more predictable, structured, and fair.
Here’s a complete breakdown of how the new system works and what users should know
Training and Rank Ups are Now Separate
Previously, training a player beyond a certain level required Rank Ups, which often forced users to grind or rely on luck. That has now changed
You can train any player directly to Level 30 without needing Rank Ups.
Rank Ups exist purely as an extra layer of progression that boosts attributes and adds Skill Points.
This gives users more freedom to focus on building their dream team without being slowed down by rank limitations.
Old Items Converted Into Rank Up Points
URP Mascherano and Dudek items have officially been retired. But don’t worry - if you still have them, they aren’t wasted.
URP Dudek - converts to 20 Rank Up Points
URP Mascherano - converts to 100 Rank Up Points
A new exchange tab has been added where users can trade their old items for Rank Up Points. This ensures that all existing items still provide meaningful value in the updated system.
Exchanges and Rewards Updated
Any packs or rewards that previously granted URP Mascherano will now give Rank Up Points instead.
The popular URP Mascherano weekly exchange (where fodder Cards used to be required) is still active, but it now rewards Rank Up Points.
This smooth transition means the grind remains familiar, but with a more reliable end result.
Fixed Rank Up Requirements
One of the most debated parts of the old system was the probability-based Rank Up attempts. Many users tried to Rank Up with fewer URP Mascherano than the guaranteed requirement. Sometimes this worked and gave a successful Rank Up with fewer items, but many other times it resulted in wasted resources. This mixed experience made the system divisive within the community.
That’s gone for good.
Every Rank Up level now requires a fixed number of Rank Up Points.
Once you meet the requirement, the Rank Up is guaranteed - no more failed attempts, no wasted effort.
This makes progress transparent, predictable, and stress-free.
Rank Up Levels and Costs
The new system keeps the familiar five Rank Up levels, each one granting +1 Skill Point, for a total of 5 additional Skill Points at max Rank.
Here’s the cost structure
Green Rank Up (Lvl 1) - 140 Rank Up Points
Blue Rank Up (Lvl 2) - 280 Rank Up Points
Purple Rank Up (Lvl 3) - 420 Rank Up Points
Red Rank Up (Lvl 4) - 560 Rank Up Points
Orange Rank Up (Lvl 5) - 700 Rank Up Points
Total required to max a player’s Rank = 2,100 Rank Up Points.
Why This Update is a Game-Changer
This new Rank Up system changes squad-building for the better:
No RNG Frustration - Every upgrade is guaranteed once you meet the requirement.
Faster Training - Level 30 is now achievable without rank restrictions.
Better Resource Management - Users can plan exactly how many Rank Up Points they need.
Value for Old Items - URP Mascherano and Dudek aren’t wasted; they can be exchanged for Rank Up Points.
Fair for All Players - Free-to-play and pay-to-play users both benefit from a more structured system.
Final Thoughts
The introduction of Rank Up Points in FC Mobile 26 is one of the most impactful quality-of-life updates in recent memory. By removing randomness, separating training from rank progression, and allowing old URP items to be converted, EA has created a system that feels more fair, transparent, and rewarding.
If you’re sitting on unused URP Mascherano or Dudek items, head to the exchange tab right away to convert them into Rank Up Points. With this new system, upgrading your squad is now all about planning and grinding - not gambling.
