Why Neymar's cards might be removed from EA FC Mobile?
EA Sports does not currently hold the licensing rights for Santos FC or the Brazilian league in EA FC Mobile. This makes it likely that Neymar's cards will be removed from the game until further licensing arrangements are made.
Once removed, his cards might become untradeable, meaning you won’t be able to sell them on the EA FC Mobile market.
While this removal isn’t officially confirmed by EA, the circumstances strongly suggest it might happen. Neymar’s cards could make a comeback if EA adds the Brazilian league in the future.
This situation is reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo's removal after his move to the Saudi League before EA secured the rights.

How should you prepare for Neymar Jr. cards' possible removal from EA FC Mobile
If you’re wondering how to handle this situation, here are some practical options to help you decide the best course of action:
1) Sell Neymar cards now to maximize FC Coins
If you own Neymar’s cards, consider selling them immediately. As news spreads, the prices might drop further, especially for higher-rated cards like the 103 Ballon d’Or version and the 101 Retro Stars version.
Selling now could help you secure significant coins before his potential removal.
2) Keep Neymar cards as a collector’s item
If you’re a Neymar fan or a collector, holding onto his cards might appeal to you. However, keep in mind that once his cards are removed, they’ll become untradeable.
This means you won’t be able to sell them later, even if their rarity increases.
3) Wait for future updates
EA could add the Brazilian league or secure Santos FC’s licensing in the future, which might bring Neymar’s cards back. While this is speculative, it’s worth considering if you prefer to gamble on long-term possibilities.
Neymar Jr.'s move to Santos FC has stirred excitement and speculation in equal measure. For EA FC Mobile players, it’s essential to act wisely.
Whether you decide to sell or hold, understanding the risks and rewards will help you make the best decision. Keep an eye out for official announcements from EA Sports.
