Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Squad Battles
How Many Points Do I Need to Reach Gold 1 in Squad Battles?
The points required for Gold 1 fluctuate each week, as it depends on the performance of other players. However, a general guideline is to aim for somewhere around 20,000 to 25,000 Battle Points. Keep an eye on the leaderboard throughout the week to get a better sense of the cutoff.
Are Squad Battles Rewards Tradeable?
Yes, most Squad Battles rewards are tradeable. This is a crucial factor, as it allows you to sell any unwanted players from your packs on the transfer market, further boosting your coin balance. There are some instances, like with Player Picks, which may be untradeable.
How Does the Squad Battles Leaderboard Work?
The Squad Battles leaderboard ranks players based on the Battle Points they accumulate throughout the week. Your Battle Points are determined by your performance in each match, taking into account the difficulty level, your squad rating, and your match result (win or loss). Higher difficulties yield more points, and winning obviously provides a significant bonus. The leaderboard is divided into tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Elite, Top 200), with each tier representing a percentage of the player base.
How Many Squad Battles Matches Can I Play Each Week That Count Towards My Rank?
Only your first 40 Squad Battles matches each week contribute to your leaderboard ranking. After those 40 matches, you can still play more for match coins, but they won’t affect your position on the leaderboard.
What Happens if I Refresh Squad Battles But Don’t Play All the Teams?
If you refresh your opponents without playing all four teams, those unplayed matches still count towards your 40-match limit for the week. Be strategic with your refreshes to maximize your Battle Point potential.
When Do Squad Battles Rewards Reset?
Squad Battles rewards are distributed every Sunday morning at 8:00 AM UTC. Make sure to claim your rewards promptly to start building your team for the next week’s competition.
What is the Best Difficulty Level to Play on in Squad Battles?
The optimal difficulty level depends on your skill and squad strength. Experiment to find the balance between earning enough Battle Points and consistently winning matches. Many players find that World Class or Legendary offers the best reward-to-effort ratio, but it’s worth testing Ultimate if you have a top-tier squad.
How are Battle Points Calculated in Squad Battles?
The Battle Points calculation is complex, taking into account factors such as:
- Difficulty level: Higher difficulty, more points.
- Match result: Win or Loss. Winning gives significantly more.
- Goals scored: More goals usually mean more points.
- Clean sheet: Keeping a clean sheet may give some points (not specifically noted by EA).
- Squad rating: Higher squad rating, potentially more points but less of a factor than difficulty.
Can I Play Squad Battles in Co-op?
Yes, Squad Battles can be played in co-op. This allows you to team up with a friend and tackle the AI opponents together, potentially making it easier to win on higher difficulty levels.
Is Squad Battles a Good Way to Earn Coins in FIFA?
Yes, Squad Battles is a reliable way to earn coins, especially for players who are less confident in online modes like Division Rivals or FUT Champions. The weekly rewards, combined with the coins earned from each match, can significantly boost your transfer market budget.

- Rare Electrum Players Pack
- TOTS Player
How Many Points Do I Need to Get Top 200 in Squad Battles?
The points required for Top 200 in Squad Battles are significantly higher than Elite 1, often requiring around 100,000 points or more. This level of competition requires consistent wins on the highest difficulty levels.
How Long is One Game in Squad Battles?
Each half in Squad Battles is four minutes and the entire game typically lasts around six minutes a half. This equates to roughly 35-40 minutes overall, considering menus and cutscenes.
What Happens if I Lose a Squad Battles Match?
Even if you lose a Squad Battles match, you still receive Battle Points, but significantly less than if you had won. The loss formula focuses heavily on difficulty level and goals scored by your team. A standard value of 50 is often used as a base in the loss calculation.
Does My Division Rivals Rank Affect My Squad Battles Opponents?
No, your Division Rivals rank does not directly affect the opponents you face in Squad Battles. The difficulty of your Squad Battles opponents is determined by the difficulty level you select before each match.
Squad Battles offer a fantastic way to hone your skills, earn valuable rewards, and build your dream Ultimate Team. By understanding the reward structure, mastering the gameplay mechanics, and consistently striving for higher ranks, you’ll be well on your way to dominating the competition and achieving your FIFA goals.
