How to complete Jaap Stam exchange in EA FC Mobile

To celebrate the first anniversary of EA FC Mobile, the game has introduced its first official exchange of Season 2, featuring the Netherlands legend, Jaap Stam. This 100 OVR Center-Back Hero card, known for its exceptional defense and physicality, is a fantastic addition to any Club team. As such, completing this exchange is essential if you’re looking for a powerful center-back to bolster your squad.

Exchanges in EA FC Mobile are similar to Squad Building Challenges (SBC) in the PC version of EA FC. These allow players to give up multiple fodder cards to earn a special card, and Stam’s exchange is no different.

With his high overall rating and impressive stats, Jaap Stam is sure to become a staple in many squads.

Jaap Stam’s 100 OVR Hero card is built to dominate an EA FC Mobile Club Team backline. With 91 Pace, it’s unusually fast for a center-back, allowing him to keep up with the quickest forwards.

His Defending and Physicality ratings both stand at a staggering 101, making him a defensive colossus. Stam can outmuscle opponents with ease, win aerial duels, and execute perfectly timed tackles.

His Dribbling is rated 82, which is above average for a CB, enhancing his ability to handle the ball under pressure and distribute passes from the backline.

Though his Shooting (55) and Passing (68) stats aren't stellar, they won’t be primary concerns for players looking to use him purely as a defensive wall.

Jaap Stam’s card brings balance, reliability, and sheer physical dominance to any squad, making him a fantastic option for those who want to elevate their defensive performance.

However, players need to be quick to grab this special EA FC Mobile Exchange item as it is going to expire on October 11, 2024.
