The MFC Account & Discord Sign-In
Your MFC Footy account is linked to your Discord account. There are no separate passwords or emails required. Signing in with Discord on the website or typing commands in a Discord server where the bot is installed connects you to the same persistent player profile, card inventory, coin balance, and active squad.
Claiming Drops & Economy
MFC Footy features regular reward timers to help you expand your club:
- Hourly Drop (
/claim): Available every 60 minutes. Awards coins and a random player card. On the web dashboard, you can reroll this card once per claim. - Daily Drop (
/daily): Available every 24 hours. Awards larger coin and gem sums to fund market and draft activities. - Weekly & Monthly Drops: Higher-tier rewards containing rare packs and Mascherano rank-up tokens.
Inventory, Cards & Rank-Ups
Every card in your inventory is an independent instance with its own rank level (0 to 5). You can upgrade cards using Mascherano Tokens from the web dashboard or inventory modal. Each rank upgrade adds +1 to effective OVR and provides attribute boosts that significantly elevate the card's Prominent Rating.
Use the Lock feature in your inventory to prevent valuable cards from being sold accidentally in the Market House.
Understanding OVR & Prominent Rating (PR)
In MFC Footy, two main metrics measure card capability:
OVR (Overall Rating)
The card's baseline tier rating. Ranks add +1 per rank level to determine the effective OVR used for squad tiering.
Prominent Rating (PR)
An advanced valuation metric calculated by MFC Footy. It sums all 6 face attributes, adds rank bonuses, and weights position effectiveness. Never call it "Performance Rating".
Consider a hypothetical midfield card with Base OVR = 100 and Rank 3:
This exact calculation runs across all cards in the database to provide objective evaluation for squad building and Decision Room comparison.
Building an Actual Squad
To compete in matches, you must assemble an Actual squad in the Squad Builder:
- Ownership Required: You can only place cards you actually own in your starting XI or bench.
- No Duplicate Players: You cannot field two versions of the same player (e.g. two versions of Lionel Messi), even if they are distinct card editions.
- Activation: Once your starting XI has 11 eligible players, click "Activate Squad" to save it as your official match lineup.
Chemistry Optimization (0–33)
Chemistry directly influences match performance. Points (0 to 33) are generated by linking adjacent players who share:
Icons & Heroes: Icon cards provide universal nation links, while Hero cards offer enhanced league chemistry points.
Concept Squads & Decision Room
Planning a major signing? Use Concept Squads to test cards before buying them. Search any of the 54,000+ cards in the master database and place them on your pitch to preview chemistry links and formation fit.
Open the Decision Room to compare up to 4 cards side-by-side. The tool highlights which positions are eligible, calculates net squad PR changes, and displays Market House affordability.
Arena & Friendly Match Play
Once your squad is activated, enter the match arena:
- Arena (
/arena): Asynchronous competitive ladder match. Winning earns division points and increases your weekly rank standing. - Friendly (
/friendly): Unranked exhibition match against any server member or friend for tactical testing without risking rank points.
Quick Battles & Strategic Drafts

Quick Battles
Instant match duels using randomly rolled draft cards. Fast-paced, casual, and perfect for quick head-to-head competition.
