Gumball Tokens can be used at any of the 3 Gumball Machines to get Retro Stars Players, Coins; Skill Boosts, Training XP, Arcade Tokens, and Retro Points.

Also, it is restricted to one time each day. So never, always remember to get this machine; there is no justification for why you shouldn't.

 

 

Remember that each different Gumball Machine has diverse award chances. Return every day for another Featured Player and other pivoting rewards! There are achievements for this; up to 10000 pulls can get you 105 OVR CM Rafinha. 

 

Rad City Hub

Everything gets rad here! Bounce on the party bus and take a look at Rad City to get select Rad City Players and prizes! Retro Points can be exchanged here for a variety of rewards.

This is similar to Spring and Summer, where you have random spots for additional prizes.

 

 

Trinkets can be claimed only once. Earning every reward is possible by claiming every node on the Rad City path. It is important to keep in mind that you will not end up having every player. However, as long as you burn through 35000 Retro Points, you will wind up with either 110 OVR CM Henderson or 110 OVR ST Martinez. Utilizing 40000 and 50000 Retro Points will guarantee you 101 OVR Event Icon ST Shevchenko and 112 OVR GK Lev Yashin. Obviously, Black Spider is out of reach. 

 

Midweek Madness

This is by far the most exciting part of the event. This is a form of VSA/H2H grindable aspect of the event. It comes along with the Weekend Tournament and is playable three days every weekend. VS Attack and Head to Head can be played for bonus rewards! You play with energy, i.e., Retro Health Points, which is obtainable from everyday advertisements and coin packs.

Obviously, the Premium Pass is far more rewarding than the free one. You can get every one of the prizes in the Free Pass just by signing inconsistently to get the Retro Scores. 

 

SBC

It shouldn't be a surprise that there are SBC's for rank shards. You are offered a single weekly Squad Building Challenge in the main tab that exchanges for Rank Shards, which can be used to rank up. However, you ought to be finishing the SBCs; the more you hold on, the less expensive the players will turn into. It should not be considered a challenge as each requires just 5 players, with the absolute group OVR being 98 OVRs, while just four of them being Retro Stars players.

 

 

An additional SBC is also available, which requires a total team OVR of 95 and grants 1600 Skill boosts; the players are very cheap with the release of the event and should be able to complete them easily.

FIFA Mobile 21 Retro Stars Event Tips and Tricks

---

FIFA Mobile 21 Retro Stars event is huge after the National Heroes event. It has a decent amount of grind with daily skill games, tons of PVP matches, and event currencies. So here are our extra tips and tricks to assist you with getting the best from the event. It took us some time to find these solutions and work out everything.

 

As a matter of first importance, this is an energy-based event as usual. So never at any point let your energy get finished up. Try not to allow your energy to refresh out. Also, simply purchase your coin packs, there is not any justification for not buying one, and you need to keep in mind that this path is not replayable. You should not buy all your coin packs in one go! Stacking up your energy enough to complete one path per day with the ads and use your coin packs only when the situation demands is a great idea. 

 

Rad City Hub

  

Player	Retro Points	Gems Required
105 LM Henrikh Mkhitaryan	14250
105 LW Marcus Thuram	14250
105 CB Nacho Fernandez	14250
100 RM Adama Traoré	14250
110 CM Henderson/ ST Martínez	35000
101 ST Event Icon Shevchenko	40000	17500
112 GK Prime Icon Lev Yashin	50000	67500

 

We can unmistakably see you get two of the 105 OVR players from the Rad City table above. You have to keep in mind that both the 105 players need to be from the same side. This makes the 110 OVR choice of Henderson and Martinez free-to-play! The event icon 101 OVR Shevchenko is not completely free-to-play like the previous events. 

You will require at least 5k gems to pack Shevchenko, given your luck from the Gumball Machine. Other than the 36500 Retro Points from the ability games, you can likewise acquire up to 2500 Retro Points from the Gumball Machine based on your luck. 

 

 

From the image, we can see the 500 Retro Points come a total of five times. If someone is extremely lucky, they can accumulate a total of 2500 Retro Points as free-to-play obtainable from the game. With those points, one can obtain

• 2 105 OVRs from the same side
• 1000 Arcade Tokens (400+100+400+100)
• Choice of 110 OVR Player from the Milestone
• 101 OVR Event Icon Shevchenko for 5k Gems minimum

Thus 101 OVR Event Icon ST Shevchenko costs a minimum of 5k Gems based on your luck on the Gumball Machine

 

Arcade Claw

You have a chance to win an additional 5000 Arcade Tokens from the Gumball Machine, depending on how fortunate you are. Making your total tally of Arcade Tokens

 

• 3400 Arcade Tokens from the event (Skill games, Free Pass and Rad City)
• Another 5000 Arcade Tokens from Gumball (depending on your luck)
• 107 OVR CM Bernardo Silva becomes Free-to-play (without any gems)

 

That is quite the amount of resources just from players, excluding the number of in-game resources you will claim along the way in boosts, and coins, and XP on the path and as well as the Arcade Claw.

 

Midweek Madness

As referenced above, given the Hearth energy, if you watch every one of the day-by-day advertisements and purchase all the coin packs, you will play an absolute minimum of 105 matches per 3 day period. A 105 matches, and that is on the off chance that you proceed to lose each and every match persistently. It's something grindable, and subsequently, every single award is available. Each and everything can be acquired by grinding as long as you've got the hours to put into it.

 

 

Other than the players, there is 50 extra expertise support trade that you can obtain 125 times. Free-to-play players can grab an astonishing 6250 skill boosts. Furthermore, the 108 OVRs are not something that cannot be achieved as they require 50 wins, 40 additional gets you the 106s, and 20 additional for the 103s.
