Levels and tasks
All figures below are listed gains with caps, not guaranteed final gains. A card near a cap gains less. Every level on the detail page shows Training Camp with a 0-day label. The hub shows Training Camp as 1 day. Those labels disagree, so treat the in-game timer as the final word on whether each camp completes instantly or needs the longer wait.

Which player should you choose?
From the FUTWIZ Available Players list on 9 November, examples include Munir at 74 LM, Ivan Jaime at 74 LM, Rafael Ratao at 74 LW and Rigoni at 74 RM with LM, RW and LW among the alternatives. Son appears as a 74 RB with LM among the alternatives, which matches the LM or LW rule through an alternative position rather than a first position.

Time limits
The hub showed about one week to start Underdog Run and about two weeks before it expires when checked on 9 November. Those are rounded labels, not exact dates. Starting an Evolution and finishing its levels are separate deadlines. Read both clocks in game.
