Shit, have the rewards already come out? I thought they were later and I had time to do the game or two I needed.
EDIT: Should have read your response properly Merse. Missed out on 27k there by not playing the game or two I needed to last night. Damn it.
Blew basically all of my coins on a Serie A team
GK - Perin
RB - Joao Cancelo TOTW
CB - De Vrji
CB - Skriniar
LB - Alex Sandro
CM - Hamsik
CM - Naingolan
CM - Milinkovic-Savic
LW - Insigne
ST - Mertens
RW - Jose Callejon
I figure i can use this team to just grind grind grind grind and then try and snag a Cristiano somehow eventually to put up top.
My dream is to find a George Best to play at RW and Cristiano to play at ST
MM are out but the rewards are shit so I'll be cashing in where I can...
Decided to do them after all as they were so cheap. Bronze pack method ftw.
Could someone offer me a quick primer on the bronze pack method? It can't be a simple as just buying bronze packs and selling the shit, surely.

still tryin to understand it all myself
Yeah, sure. It is, pretty much, but:
Buy the 400 coin packs (I suspect the 750 ones work too, so I'll be testing that this year when I have a decent coin balance).
Players: Sell those that you can get decent wedge for immediately (my benchmark is usually 500-700 coins+) and club the rest, only quick selling players when your trade pile gets too full with other stuff you'd prefer to keep. The ones you've club'd will come in handy for general SBC's (I've just chucked a load of CSL ones into the MM's) and specific ones that need players from that league or club. The latter is the motherload and can lead to getting 4-5k per player, but only gets into real full swing when the league SBC's come out.
Kits and Badges - You can make decent money from some of these (I've just got 2,500 coins from a silver Hearts Badge), but the vast majority need to be binned.
Contracts - Keep them all and apply them to players via the web app (you can hammer left click and apply shitloads in seconds) and you'll never need to buy contracts again.
Fitness - Both the squad and player cards sell, albeit I'll be keeping some of these this year as I want to run with one team.
Attribute cards - Bin the GK ones and keep and use the rest. Some of the player ones sell.
Managers - Some sell, particularly this time of year. The shiny ones give you +1% to contracts.
Physios and Coaches - I keep them for the boosts.
Healing Cards - Same as fitness cards and contracts in that you don't need to ever buy these again.
Balls and Stadiums - Bin them.
Upgrade Packs - If you open enough packs you can recycle the players that don't sell via the bronze, silver and gold upgrades and at one stage last year, if you had about 3,000 bronzes you could recycle them all the way up to an Icon.
It's a grind and takes a fair bit of management to keep on top of, particularly when you have hundreds of the bronze players, but I love that aspect of the game and if I don't buy any points this year I'll be all over it. If Ben Yedder hadn't been released I'd have opened hundreds of the fuckers this weekend.
Mahow - get Frenkie De Jong from Ajax in Career Mode. He's amazing.
Looks good, currently in February so will see at the end of the season.Originally Posted by Raoul Duke
Zaha seems to be incredibly good at this stage of the game. I am finding him to be so much better than Lacazette.
iSmff85 on the PS4 if anyone fancies a few games soon.
Any chance someone can post helpful links etc for FUT? I'm behind the times but I plan on sinking a fair whack in when released.
Thus far from my youth lot, Ampadu is seriously good despite his low overall.
I play a lot of my games but I also sim some and he's constantly got an up arrow for form.
RE: bronze method, this is from a geezer on rllmuk that I've been following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buy the normal Bronze pack for 400 coins.
List up the players you get. Most you'll list for 200 coins. But check the prices, as some will go for more.
List up the managers.
List up any squad fitness cards (rare, but you will get them).
Store everything else in your club.
Quick sell the duplicates.
Rinse and repeat.
It's the most solid and consistent way to make coins, and works throughout the year, mainly thanks to SBCs which can inflate the prices of some bronze cards to ridiculous levels.
Not every player will sell. But those that don't, you store in your club until there's an SBC that they're useful for.
Plus you'll never run out of contract or fitness cards.
While consistent, it can be a slow method, hence a lot of players go for other trading methods once they get a few coins under their belt.
If you can do it for 10 minutes a day, especially at the beginning of the game's lifespan, you'll see your coin total rise very quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Made 8k today from five packs, opened ten more and got five players worth 1k through to 3.5k. Shit is legit.
Basically I love the trading game in Fifa, I hate the fucking gameplay.
Just packed these two beautiful bastards in one pack now:
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/152...rdo%20Almeida/
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/138...20van%20Dijck/
The amount of 25 yard headers that are scored and blocks/interceptions are annoying me.
Is that against the CPU Sincere?
AI and online.
Just got a wonderkid in my career.
17 year old CAM who is currently 68 rated but with a potential of 89-94. Currently valued at £1.7m too.
Yep. The most important thing to have in your side right now is a midfielder who can ping them from upwards of twenty yards.
I reckon Loftus Cheek will be a terrific bargain player for anyone cobbling a Premiership side together. I got him in a pack, threw him in and he's just picked up MOTM with a goal and an assist online, but his low rating should mean he's cheap.
Yep. Available on PS BIN for 800 coins. Bargain.
My copy arrived today. Might not get much time in until Friday night, but ready to go.
Just finished Hybrid Nations and pulled Werner and Alli from the packs. If I sell that'll push me above 100k for the first time. Think I'll cash in now as don't want to risk the promos tomorrow pushing their prices down.
Bought the Ultimate Edition, I'll be up and running in an hour.
I'm probably going Premier League unless something special pops up in the packs I plan on grabbing. £100?
Is the Futbin app reliable?
Mostly. What specifically are you looking to rely on it for?
Yes, but beware doing SBCs through it.
People will see a vital player posted in the cheapest SBC combination and buy him up and make his price extortionate.
Prices mostly I would have thought. I feel as though I've forgotten everything about Ultimate Team.
Yeah, the prices are generally alright, but like Fox says, beware the SBC ones.
Don't think I bought anyone in January (can't see and I don't remember)
And here are the players I bought in the Summer:
Abdoulaye Dabo - £1.55m
Alessandro Bastoni - £4.1m
Timothy Weah- £5.1m
Vinicius Junior - £32.2m (dickhead broke his tibia in his 3rd or 4th game though)
Houssem Aouar - £25m
Riqui Puig
Willem Geubbels
Last two were sorted out before the window opened and I can't see the prices, no more than £1.5m though IIRC.
I also brought in a freebie I found in the free agents that might be a Zlatan regen. Not as tall as Zlatan but he looks like he could be great, also has a 5* WF, if it's not Zlatan then I have no idea whose regen he is. Also showing great potential.
Just had a few friendly games whilst it installs. I can't tackle for love nor money. Last version I just stole the ball with O. This doesn't even get me close.
Yeah, picked up Loftus-Cheek and paired him with Barkley. If either are on the ball within 25 yards of goal then a shot is going off. Worked well so far.
The timed shots work sometimes and others, you can just use the old method of shooting.
I want to practice my shots in skill games, but you can't remove the trainer from the screen.
It's annoying. There isn't a skill game that I could find that allows you to practice timed shots without the ball being launched in the air at you or without some obstacle in the way.
Haven’t been able to play the game yet. Currently in England for a few days in my way home from India.
Have done some trading on the app and should be up to 50k once the next lot sell. I also have a couple of others in the club who I am happy to use if they don’t spike for POTM.
Current team
Pickford (thinking I’ll try him then Kepa)
Lichtsteiner
Lascelles
Jones
Davies
Seri
N’Didi
Pogba (loan)
Deulofeu
Tosun
IF Fraser
Iwobi, Van Ginkel, Loftus Cheek, Lallana, Foster and Vestergaard on the bench.
I KO'd last night whilst full game installed. This morning I wake to 26 jumbo gold packs with both Ronaldo and Neymar on loan. Very first pack? I pull Lacazette.
Then an IF Zieler and a Lukaku. I'm not going to need to splash so grind?
Cheers @Yevrah @bruhnaldo and @Dark Soldier
I bought five Bronze packs last night and made a profit of 600 coins with five players still to sell. Small potatoes now but I'll go big on that over the weekend. Lovely.
Won't need to grind either if you're getting twenty six jumbos off the bat. How have you wangled that one?
I'm hoping it's a glitch and I've netted all the packs that come with the Ultimate Edition in just one hit. I thought you only got one or the other with Neymar and Ronaldo.
Finished League and Nations basics and pulled Lacazette too. He was one of the players I was looking at the replace Tosun with so into the side he goes.
Chucked 10k at Batshuayi and Moutinho in anticipation of them being in the OTW team. If they're not I won't lose much and they'll inevitably go higher than the 900-1000 coins I paid for them at some stage anyway.
Got 110k in the bank now (which will be 130k+ easily by Sunday night) and I'm somewhat torn as to what to do with it. Options are:
Buy IF Ben Yedder and IF Muenier and use them.
Buy as many Muenier's as I can and flip them for a decent profit when he's out of packs
Buy a shitload of fitness cards ahead of the first weekend league
Open 200+ Bronze packs.
Decisions, decisions.
Meunier looks basically the same as the one I was still using at the end of the last game. Every other position was 90+ but he was just so good I didn't even consider replacing him. If I could afford him right now I'd be buying him.
Im looking to buy between 6 pm and 8 pm Uk time today. Everyone will be playing, opening packs and there should be tons of cards avilable to buy meaning you probably will get better deals.
He's about 60k at the moment and Ben Yedder's 75k, but I don't think the latter is definitely enough of an upgrade on his 81 to make the cost worthwhile, so I'm definitely favouring the Belgian.
If I can snipe Meunier for 40k or so on Sunday (might be unrealistic) then I'll probably do it and keep him.
So I've been doing fairly well in single player seasons and squad battles but I'm struggling online. Not sure if it's because I'm being paired with Japanese given my location or if I've just not played this game for a few years but I feel out of my depth already. Doesn't help that everyone I've faced so far online has had at least one icon and I'm trying to defend with Phil Jagielka.
He should probably be better in this than the last one too, with pace apparently having been rendered irrelevant.
The best player ive played with so far is Torreria. He feels so agile on the ball in possession and he intercepts really well. I play with my defensive line super high online and offline and conceded possession. I havent felt exposed by pace yet..
How many bicycle kicks have been attempted by your own and opponents players? My Matip attempted three in one game last night. One of them while defending in his own box.
Meunier is down at just over 50k on the PS right now. Might have to have a look tonight.
Started opening bronze packs with about 112k of coins, ploughed through a fair few and listed loads of players. This chap sold for 6,500.
And now up to 118k with a shedload more to sell through and loads of players saved for future SBC's.
It's a goldmine.
