FIFA 18 - sponsored by capitalising the thread title

[Trancemeister]

Legia Warsawa players are selling like butter. Sold a couple for 8k+

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decided to use some untradeables (including TOTS Batshuayi and TOTS Mane) in that Festival SBC and got Zlatan.

https://www.futbin.com/18/player/19334/Zlatan%20Ibrahimovi%C4%87/?chem=hunter&pchem=10&schem=100

I'm not mad.

[Boom-Boom-18]

The first futties nomination is up. You are given a free Bakayoko, Matudi and Dembele just for logging into FIFA.

I was also give a free Ultimate Pack for logging in (untradeable).

[Danny]

I got OTW Aurier in my pack and voted for Dembele.

Also EOAE Iniesta is up. 96 rated

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

OTW Kessie and 88 Milinkovic Savic in mine.

[SincereTheRebel]

Why are we getting OTW cards now as the season is finished?

[Danny]

They are just throwing a chunk of the various specials back into the packs.

[Trancemeister]

Got a TOTW Silva 92 rated. Already got the TOTS Silva 95 so that felt a bit meh.

[Danny]

Perfect SBC fodder if you like any of the EOAE cards

[Yevrah]

Finally have internet, so I'll be back on this Sunday. Wish I'd left the world cup mode well alone.

[Danny]

In the process of doing this 4 online seasons wins.

9 mins 3-0 up. Quit
2 mins 1-0 up. Quit
20 mins 5-0 up. Quit.
45 mins 5-0 up. He stuck it out.

It helps I have played little online seasons so I am in div 8 and I took this team into it.

https://www.futbin.com//18/squad/5735178

With almost 400k in the bank and this stage of the game I should improve on Pogba. EOEA Carrick will be done if it happens though

My Ultimate Scream player was Musonda :moop:

[Boom-Boom-18]

91 Bakayoko available for a 86 rated SBC. I have done it mostly using untradeables.

[Danny]

How is he?

[The Merse]

Grabbed him as well. 1 week after selling TOTY Fernandinho to find a raid on World Cup Winner Varane (to replace TOTY Silva), and bringing Prime Rijkaard back in as my defensive CM, who now feels somewhat sluggish in a team where the otherwise slowest player is Prime Desailly. Bakayoko looks nuts with a Hunter, so I’m looking forward to him. I had hoped for Matuidi for the position but this will do.

Hopefully Lukaku gets LB as I can slot him in ahead of TOTY Roussilon on full chem with SBC de Bruyne in front and Desailly alongside.

[Boom-Boom-18]

How is he?

Check the SBC. Trade in a 86 rated team for a 91 Bakayoko as part of Futties.

The way they have done the voting for Futties is dreadful. Who was ever going to trade in Sandro or Matuidi? I think Rose will win the next round but perhaps Lukaku has a chance because a lot of people will be trading in the lower card.

I think I will give the left back a miss. I have enough cards to do one more 86 rated squad and I would like to put that towards the potential Jesus or Bailly. The thought of a 90+ Jesus card is sickening, I still use his 83 every now and then.

[Danny]

Yeah I know about the SBC. How is he in game?

I have voted Dembele and Lukaku so far. The former because that’s what I wanted. The latter because I wanted to keep the other cards :lol:

[Boom-Boom-18]

Ah. Yes he is very good, a noticeable upgrade on my TOTS Matic. Pace and passing being the main differences. I am 11 games unbeaten since bringing him in which is very unusual. I went 7-0-0 in division 3 and now 4-0-0 in division 2.

I packed 90 Okocha in my free jumbo gold pack (won 9 games) and pulled 90 Okocha. I didn't think I had any use for him as I have 95 Eriksen but bringing him on with 20 minutes left to go is a joy. Really like him.

Having a lot of fun with my team now.

[Danny]

Cheers. I am considering doing the SBC as I have quite a few untradeables too. Just not sure who he displaces out of Pogba, Vieira and KDB in my midfield!

[Yevrah]

Right, back on.

92 packs in store from the World Cup mode and that Ultimate Pack I got free.

220k in the bank and a lot of shit I bought during the market crash, let's see how we go.

[Yevrah]

Bored already, so started another team and decided to learn how to play with tactical defending, which seems a good use of the 7 or so weeks until FIFA 19 arrives.

Ooh, Futties players, sweet.

[Yevrah]

Just pulled an 84 rated IF Vrsaljko from a pack. How's he in packs?

[John]

They re released a load of older cards this week, presumably as one last push to make a few quid before the new one comes out.

I got OTW James and Van Dijk from a rewards pack, so it seems the sheer number of special cards available at the moment means you're considerably more likely to get one.

[Yevrah]

Cheers.

Is there a list anywhere of who you can get?

[John]

Not that I'm aware of, but prior to your post I assumed it was just non TOTW special cards they'd released, so if there are normal IF cards available too I reckon it's possible they've just put everyone back out.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, I thought the same. Maybe there's a glitch in the matrix.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Get on the gold upgrade SBC. They have added TOTS cards back into packs, I have just pulled 4 from 3 upgrades.

[Danny]

The standard gold upgrade? That’s mad luck. Untradeable or not

[Boom-Boom-18]

Yep, standard gold upgrade. My friend messaged me who had just pulled 2 TOTS from doing it so I thought I would give it a shot.

[Danny]

Did a couple got regular Marcelo.

Bought a 20k pack. TOTS Parejo. 60k back.

Two more. Nothing and 88 Dzeko

[Danny]

Finished marquee matchups and the packs

OTW Joao Mario
TOTS Robertson
PTG William Carvalho
TOTS Skriniar
OTW Ntep

[John]

What packs are you all getting these good players from? My mate's just done twenty quid on Jumbo Premiums and the best he got was Pepe Reina.

[The Merse]

I just did the Buffon SBC and got an OTW and a TOTY from Cov City from the Jumbo Players and Premium Players packs.

Got Scream Musonda and Khedira in my MM packs.

[Yevrah]

It's all dependent on the manipulative pack algorithm. For example, I notice I always get better pulls from a new account.

My IF Vrsaljko came from a Premium Gold Squad Battles reward for what it's worth. Got OTW Coquelin from that witches covern SBC too. Both on the same, new account.

[John]

I told him to do the gold upgrade thing. Did it four times for eight players in total, two of which were Scream Crouch and TOTS Luiz Gustavo. Scream cards are upgraded at the moment, and Crouch's 87 rating let him finish the Bakayoko SBC. He's delighted.

[Danny]

What packs are you all getting these good players from? My mate's just done twenty quid on Jumbo Premiums and the best he got was Pepe Reina.

There were 10 20k packs in the shop earlier. I bought a couple of the jumbos and got sweet FA.

I did some upgrades and got TOTGS Stones.

[Danny]

Upgrades are permanent now.

[Danny]

Rinsed some players, got nothing. Got pissed and bought a pack. TOTS Doucoure.

[Danny]

Duplicate Bobby Firmino. Fuck my life.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Run of trash but I just got TOTS Sane :eyemouth:

[John]

Rinsed some players, got nothing. Got pissed and bought a pack. TOTS Doucoure.

Doucoure is brilliant. I was using him between TOTS Eriksen and Rabiot in a three man midfield before I got Bakayoko and he was terrific as the destroyer in there. He goes for about fifty pence now though so even though Bakayoko has replaced him I won't be selling.

[Danny]

Yeah I saw, hopefully the prices bounce back a little once this dies down.

I force closed on the Bobby Firmino. Will hold onto him until there is an SBC i want to do.

[SincereTheRebel]

I spent 1.5 million on random cards that were being packed. There has to be a major reason for this. My guess is an End of an Era Ronaldo is coming and the SBC requirements are going to ask for at least 1 of each version of special cards.

[Yevrah]

I doubt it as how would his card improve much?

They're surely doing it to eek out a few more quid before 19 is launched.

[SincereTheRebel]

Its still a hype card and if they have an SBC to do, you best beleive people will try and get it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Got TOTS Sterling and that Inter CB ToTS who got me Bakayoko.

[SincereTheRebel]

Doing gold upgrades is good if you like to pack players. I hate packing untradeable players who do not fit into my team.

Ive been waiting all year for an SBC that offers a player I want in my team. Still waiting....

I would like to see some type of untradeable trade system :cab:

[Boom-Boom-18]

I just picked up TOTS Ashley Young for 52K. I haven't bought him to make money but surely he is going to rise now Danny Rose didn't get his expected card?

[Boom-Boom-18]

TOTS Michy Batshuayi for 62K. No use for him but hoping he rises in the next few weeks.

[Yevrah]

I'm going bd on that Lukaku. If I sell much of my new club I can get the beast.

[Danny]

Incredibly tempted by this De Rossi card.

[SincereTheRebel]

Incredibly tempted by this De Rossi card.

I didnt even know he retired. I like the look of the card and may also do it myself.

[Danny]

He didn’t. Apparently they changed the rule on the card this year. Thats why Iniesta and Buffon got one despite not retiring and De Rossi did without even moving.

I did the card last night using the duplicate Firmino but haven’t used him yet.

[SincereTheRebel]

He didn't even move to another club or retire :lol: Maybe the new rule is after they have been at a club for x amount of years.

More SBC>Less SBC

[Danny]

People on Reddit were thinking it must be international retirement related but still :face:

[Trancemeister]

Did the International Competition SBC (i think it was called) Got TOTS Lecomte 93 & Neuer. Not a bad return.

[Yevrah]

New team is coming along nicely, got Futties Lukaku and then saw that Ben Yedder's 86 had been re-released so snapped up a clean version of him for 16k (only had his 84 rated card previously).

Over the next week I'd like to raise enough to get that 89 Dembele.

[Yevrah]

An 84 Mbappe for free. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

TOTS Allan in my free pack.

Happy with that, I wanted to try him.

[Yevrah]

EA are properly nailing this at the moment, there's so much to do.

[Yevrah]

Doing the Hybrid nations SBC and just pulled TotS Sterling from a Premium Gold Players Pack.

Not sure whether to keep, sell or wait until he's no longer in packs and sell then.

[Boom-Boom-18]

I am playing TOTS Batshuayi and Gnabry upfront in my BPL team (7 chem) and they are electric. Picked them up for a combined 75K.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I had Batshuayi as an untradable coming off the bench. For the first few games he was brilliant, then he turned into full donkey mode.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Win 8 online seasons for an untradeable TOTS player. Once you complete the objective it gives you a pack such as 'BPL TOTS PLAYER' 'LA LIGA TOTS PLAYER'. The vast majority seem to be getting a BPL pack.

I pulled Matic which is a shame because he has no place in my team. Still a 92 card I can put into (hopefully) the Jesus futtie SBC.

[Boom-Boom-18]

I had Batshuayi as an untradable coming off the bench. For the first few games he was brilliant, then he turned into full donkey mode.

20 games in and he's still going strong. Very impressed.

[Danny]

Did Crouch and Defoe for dirt cheap. They will get thrown into Martial, even though I have Son.

[SincereTheRebel]

All gold rare and gold are selling nice if anyone is in need of coins

[SincereTheRebel]

Opening 5k packs and players sell for a minimum 900 coins and you get a chance to get a tradeable TOTS

[Danny]

Apparently FOF cards are going to come back into packs. Expecting a price bomb.

Sold my Nani and Trippier

[Yevrah]

When are they back in Danny?

[Boom-Boom-18]

I would guess 31st which is when TOTS cards come out of packs.

Does anyone ever take them time to 'train' themselves away from games (ie. doing the skill games / free practice)? I am going to spend some time doing the training games / practice some practical skill moves.

It's hard to gauge your skill when playing purely online but I am not sure I am actually improving.

I'm convived End of an Era Ronaldo is coming and is going to require quite a few TOTS and FOF cards. I practice free-kicks when I'm bored. I learn a lot of stuff from my opponents online and then I just copy them.

I only use about five skill moves. Ball roll and Cruyff turn is all I ever need.

[Raoul Duke]

I got an untradeable TOTS 87 Sessegnon from a pack earlier. Was on my wishlist so he's going straight into the team. Looks insane.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Used Ibra and TOTS Sterling to get Martial.

Big Tone is amazing.

[Trancemeister]

Is he better than Son?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not used any of Son's specials sadly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Here's the futbin review:

https://www.futbin.com/news/articles/156/Futties_Martial


Martial trumps every LM/LW I have used this FIFA, save for TOTS Neymar. I can assume that FOF Hazard and TOTY Ronaldo are superior as well, and maybe even FOF Alexis, but then you have Futties Martial rounding out the top five LM in FUT at a tenth of the price. I would recommend any FUT Managers on the fence to get this SBC finished before the deadline.

[Yevrah]

So a week into the new save and here are the teams:

Tried to stick to being forced to manage what I pulled from packs, but an 86 and 89 Ben Yedder and Demebele respectively were too hard to resist. Everyone else is pack pulled or from an SBC.

[url=https://postimg.cc/image/hyl0blms7/]https://s15.postimg.cc/u0ge5qw0r/2nd_Team.jpg (https://postimages.org/)l (https://postimages.org/)

[Gray Fox]

I've just checked this thread for the first time in a little bit, what the fuck is that obscenity at LF? I might even have considered him over the Ron-Son connection.

[Yevrah]

His SBC's still up and only about 70k to do.

2 wins away from the TotS player weekly objective.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's brilliant too, obviously.

[Yevrah]

Got a Ligue 1 TotS player as the reward, which initially I was pissed with.

Opened the pack and pulled Thiago Silva, which is a right result. He'll slot in nicely next to Alex Sandro in that second team.

Finished Elite 2 in Squad Battles, so 2 Mega Packs and 25,200 coins to come, which will take me to over 40k in the bank. Would be nice to pull one special player from the packs.

Still not sure whether to sell TotS Sterling or not.

[Yevrah]

Packs were bad. Bonaventura the best player.

[Danny]

I got the Bristol City TOTS LB, Bryan, in my packs. Looks like a fun player but will just be dumped into a TOTS required SBC at some point.

[John]

I bought the World Cup special Harry Maguire the other day and soon realised two things, that although he looks about eighteen feet tall in reality and is a colossus in the air, he's actually six foot two and has poor jumping stats, and that he has ninety nine for both short and long passing. Both seem like a fundamental misreading of his game to me, but he's very good in game and the jumping stat is easily boosted into the upper eighties, so it's fine.

My team requires that the centre back and full back on his side have a strong link, so I brought in TOTS Young to replace IF Alonso and despite his terrific stats he's very shaky defensively.

I think I'll spaff the required twenty thousand coins for the latest IF Josef Martinez to replace IF Callum Wilson as my impact sub, because he looks quite ridiculous at that price.

[Danny]

That Rashford. Jesus.

[Boom-Boom-18]

That wasn't easy to do. Little annoyed because I had his nations card and I was hoping for Jesus to partner him.

[Yevrah]

That Rashford. Jesus.

I've got 60k in the bank, which with some sniping should be just enough to do all of the Cultural Exchange SBC's. If I pack enough from those to raise the 130k to do him, I will.

[Raoul Duke]

Selling all my Utd players for bank then gonna buy them back in a couple of days :drool:

[Yevrah]

Did it with 474 coins to spare. Shit rewards no doubt incoming.

[Yevrah]

3 Tots, but they're all Championship or below. Not sure I'll be able to raise the coins, but let's have a crack.

[Yevrah]

Actually, I might give him a miss and save my players for tomorrow's new promo. I didn't like Rashford's base card and I don't want to sink 130k of coins just in case I'm not a fan of this one.

[Danny]

Thanks to three rage quits I am 5 games through the online seasons thing in about a hour.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've done 5 games today with 4 wins.

The non-win was a 3-3 draw with me making 3 howling errors. Including having a throw in deep in his half in injury tine, giving the ball to him, having no one back and getting sweated on.

[Yevrah]

My rinse and repeat way to concede goals when completing that objective was to get a free kick or corner in an advanced position - guaranteed way to lose a goal when ahead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My players were just all over the pitch bar near our goal.

[Yevrah]

That 91 Martial is soooo good.

[Trancemeister]

A 94 Carrick SBC is out.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Special 94 rated Carrick SBC released. 83 squad with one TOTW.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Really enjoying FIFA at the moment, switching between the two teams below.

Playing with 98 Salah is like having a cheat player, I don't understand how he feels so much faster than players like TOTS Sterling / TOTS Sane / Futties Rashford.

https://ibb.co/fTjUJz

https://ibb.co/bVwRyz

[Trancemeister]

Marquee matchups gave me TOTS Aouar & 89 Zabaleta

[Yevrah]

Got in early enough on the players needed for Carrick to get them for about 35k, but having seen his card stats I won't be bothering, so will probably make 10k on flipping them instead.

[Danny]

https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/player/michael-carrick/43365

I’ll be doing that. Continuing the Man U special this last few week. Bailly and Valencia to win Futties please!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nils Peterson as my TOTS reward, ugh.

[SincereTheRebel]

How did Rashford win over Jesus :face:

[Danny]

People submitting the lower rated card and keeping the best for SBC. Or people like Rashford and Jesus is a little shitbag?

[Boom-Boom-18]

FOF Prices are plummeting.

[SincereTheRebel]

same as the TOTS cards over the past two weeks. Its all shaping up for an end of an era Ronaldo which will require 11 TOTS and 11 FOF CARDS

[Danny]

Apparently FOF cards are going to come back into packs. Expecting a price bomb.

Sold my Nani and Trippier

The Oracle :cool:

(Thanks Reddit)

[Yevrah]

FOF Prices are plummeting.

Yep. Rooney is my next target. Sold the Carrick players and up to 68k, then did some bronze packs, so might be quite close tonight.

[Raoul Duke]

Yep. Rooney is my next target. Sold the Carrick players and up to 68k, then did some bronze packs, so might be quite close tonight.

What do you mean by "did some bronze packs"?

[John]

What do you mean by "did some bronze packs"?

Bronze packs are so cheap that if you get even one saleable card you're set. It's a slow but very effective way to make coins.

[Gray Fox]

Less so now, but in the beginning of the game it's best to smash them.

400 coin cost. You get a few players, a few wank consumables and contracts. But then, fitness cards. Even the single player ones sell for 150/200 coins. Squad ones closer to 1,000.

If you get even a single player fitness card, you've pretty much paid for the pack. Do this several dozen times and suddenly you've a club packed full of contracts and bronze players. You can use them in fitness games, but the real money comes back when they are needed in SBCs, suddenly they sell for hundreds of coins if not thousands.

Then when you get gold contracts, you can sell them on and just use the bronze ones you have loads of. It takes a little extra time to do, but it pays off long term.

[Danny]

Won the final three today, three rage quits with a Son overhead being the icing on the cake.

Otamemdi. Ugh

[Danny]

https://www.futbin.com//18/squad/5735178

Since this link:

Pogba has been replaced with De Rossi and Tripper with Caliguri as them and Maldini form an italian triangle on the right.
SBC Rashford is in for Firmino.
Mahrez plays on 8 chem.


I really want to try FOF Lingard and Mbappe (I can get the 93 no problem) would fit in Marhrez spot on the same Chem thanks to Vieira.

I could also sell Verthonghen and pay less for FOF Stones right now, an Anchor card brings the IGS down to less than 50 difference in Vertoonghen's favour but thats all in shooting. He is generally worse overall.

[SincereTheRebel]

Transition to 5k gold packs now. It's just as effective with all the special cards now in packs..

[Yevrah]

I don't know that it is Sincere. You can't lose coins on bronze packs, even now, whereas I could see how at 5k a pop on golds you could.

[Yevrah]

FOF Rooney's price has increased by about 50% from the time I first clocked him at 90k ish last night. Grrrr.

[SincereTheRebel]

I don't know that it is Sincere. You can't lose coins on bronze packs, even now, whereas I could see how at 5k a pop on golds you could.

The rewards is much bigger. As most gold cards are now 500 minimum because you can buy 11 gold cards and put them into the repeatable gold upgrade and have a super high chance at an untradeable FOF or TOTS.

If you buy the 5k gold packs, including all the chemisty and training items. You make back about 4.5k and have a chance at a tradeable FOF or TOTS. Try it, its profitable or you make a small loss.

[Danny]

Terry and Granqvist 94s are about 20k. Perfect SBC fodder

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anyone used FOF Rooney? He looks quality.

Thinking of moving on Goretzka.

[Danny]

Bought 91 Cole, 90 Bradley, 94 Terry and 94 Granqvist for about 70k.

Will be nice for SBCs but I really want to try Cole.

[Danny]

Vidal to Inter.

Looks like it might be the league to be next season!

[Yevrah]

The rewards is much bigger. As most gold cards are now 500 minimum because you can buy 11 gold cards and put them into the repeatable gold upgrade and have a super high chance at an untradeable FOF or TOTS.

If you buy the 5k gold packs, including all the chemisty and training items. You make back about 4.5k and have a chance at a tradeable FOF or TOTS. Try it, its profitable or you make a small loss.

I've run the numbers and you can easily make as little as 3k back from each pack (maybe less), so you'd have to pull a special card in every 10 packs to break even, which you simply won't do.

[Yevrah]

Did the Hybrid Leagues SBC's for about 45k and pulled another three TotS players. Best was Robertson, but I still have 44k in the bank and more than enough shit to clear to take me to FOF Rooney. :chief:

After that I might invest in cheaper highly rated FOF players for the inevitable SBC.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I bought Rooney today.

A goal in his first and an assist in his second.

Hard to judge him fully so far but on first impression I like Goretzka more.

[Yevrah]

I've held fire for now as presumably his price will drop over the next week.

[Yevrah]

Another update. I look forward to the match engine changing again!

[Danny]

Did a few gold upgrades this morning for shits and giggles. Scream Bartra (permanent 88 now), OTW Kessie (81 rated) and TOTS Kee (79 rated).

Not too bad, the last two came in the same pack.

[Trancemeister]

Logged on and saw that I got a free pack.

TOTS Muller & 93 Varane.

[Danny]

Vidal to Inter.

Looks like it might be the league to be next season!

Ok maybe not. Barcelona marching in on another Italian teams deal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

TOTS Firmino from my free pack.

[Danny]

Gutted Bailly didn’t win

[Yevrah]

Who did win? The SBC's not there for some reason.

[Danny]

Manolas. Going to be weekly objective I think. If Florenzi wins RB vote the Manolas, Florenzi and De Rossi triangle is going to be :drool:

Nice of them to give us a spurs player to use in the SBC.

[Yevrah]

Anyone have a link to the SBC spreadsheet?

[Danny]

Not sure if its the same one

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm really hoping for Keane and Scholes this year.

[Yevrah]

He looks a bit rubbish, but still, swoon.

[Danny]

He looks a bit rubbish, but still, swoon.

He really does. Should be not too badly priced. Also:

[SincereTheRebel]

Ive yet to buy an icon this FIFA. I just have no interest to play with any of them. Ive had a few on loan which I've used but I dont want to spent my coins on them

[John]

They will be useful for the Ronaldo EOAE. Trust me, its inbound.

Right, we know you think that's happening. You'll get credit for the prediction if it happens. Now will you be quiet?

[Boom-Boom-18]

The FIFA eWorld Cup is going on at the moment. Live on SKY Sports which seems crazy to me.

Has anyone played with 97 Sanchez, I can just about afford him now (to play ST on 7 chem).

[Yevrah]

What are the weekly objectives?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The new Kompany looks brilliant.

3 TOTS needed too so I should be able to make some money on the tradeable ones I have.

[Danny]

https://www.futbin.com/18/player/20851/Vincent%20Kompany/

[Boom-Boom-18]

What are the weekly objectives?

Win 9 online seasons for Manolas.

Win 12 matches by 2 goals or more for a rare gold pack (across any mode)

Win a TOTW challenge match on min legendary difficulty for two rare players pack.

Shame Bailly didn't win, would have been all over it.

[Danny]

Can do the Komapny with untradeables and make 10k (after selling FOF Stones) before packs but not sure I really want him.

[Boom-Boom-18]

I did it and got 80K worth of players in the rare players pack.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I reckon I could do it with what's in my club (largely tradeable) and would be able to sell Blanc for about 230k.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck it, I did it.

I also don't think I used any tradeables in the end bar some scrubs.

I got 94 Giroud in my first pack (for the Man City team) which went into the second SBC.

My team: https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/4035185

I think I'll buy TOTS Telles when the Blanc money comes in with the rest just going on packs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Telles is in and I decided to use the rest on a rare player pack:

FOF Toure, FOF Badelj, OTW Sanchez.

[Boom-Boom-18]

https://www.futhead.com/18/squads/3495351/

Harry Kane is a monster. Wish I had tried him earlier but he never appealed to me due to his pace.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Fuck it, I did it.

I also don't think I used any tradeables in the end bar some scrubs.

I got 94 Giroud in my first pack (for the Man City team) which went into the second SBC.

My team: https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/4035185

I think I'll buy TOTS Telles when the Blanc money comes in with the rest just going on packs.

How much of an improvement is the 96 Kane to the 95? (if you have used him)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Haven't used him. I bought the 96 when it was released and he's going nowhere.

[Gray Fox]

They also showed a new image with a new gamemode called "FUT Division Rivals"

Hopefully this is something to replace FUT Champs. I like the idea of the weekend league, but 40 games every weekend is just too much.

[Danny]

There was a post on reddit saying it was 60 games... very unconfirmed though with speculation its 40 on weekend and 4 per day during the week.

[SincereTheRebel]

Give us more left-footed icons.

Weekend league should actually be in a league format. Puts 20 players in your league but you still get matched up as you do now.

Edit. They just confirmed Rivaldo:D

[Gray Fox]

Well, well, well.

Lampard and Gerrard as a midfield 2 :drool:

It might work on FIFA.

Wonder if they are doing away with the baby/mid tier icons.

[Gray Fox]

Raul added too. There's your left footer SincereTheRebel

[SincereTheRebel]

Raul added too. There's your left footer SincereTheRebel

That's two from the request I made. If they give me one more from Davids, Recoba and hilavert. I will be happy and I will attempt to use icons for the first time.

[Yevrah]

Lampard and Gerrard as a midfield 2 :drool:

It might work on FIFA.

Wonder if they are doing away with the baby/mid tier icons.

I hope not, I really liked that idea and with a bit of tweaking for SBC's to let their price drop to discard eventually they'd be even better.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A striker OTW Ronaldo? Jesus.

Eusebio looks quality.

[Danny]

Ronaldo & Eusebio link is going to be common.

[Danny]

The three gerrards

"Player Pick packs" looks awesome. its a pack reward where you can choose one of x amount of players to have. Like in draft.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One of the good things they've brought over from MUT.

If only they'd copy their market searches.

[SincereTheRebel]

Hopefully, they bring the market search better like futbin. We need a built-in one.

[Gray Fox]

Searching for a specific card of one player is a must.

Trying to find 1 specific version of Salah for example last season, was extremely annoying.

[Danny]

Sounds like they are improving the abliity to search, like for a specific card a player has.

Not sure about rare vs nonrare.

[Yevrah]

Did Carrick and Vrsajlko for next to nothing with untradeables from the club.

Now to buy Rooney.

[Yevrah]

Got him, sniped for 70k.

[Yevrah]

FoF Howard and TotS Jota from one of my SB reward mega-packs, bugger all in the other.

[Raoul Duke]

Got 89 Areola in a pack, but then seemingly so did half the rest of the other FIFA-playing humans :moop:

[Trancemeister]

Toronto & NYFC players are selling like butter for 10k.

[John]

I can't imagine butter selling particularly well if it was ten grand.

[Raoul Duke]

Got 89 Areola in a pack, but then seemingly so did half the rest of the other FIFA-playing humans :moop:

TOTS (dunno. Blue card?) Gaya tonight, again looks like everyone else did too so he's worth buttons

[John]

Everyone is worth buttons now because the game has half an hour until they shut the servers down and move on.

[Boom-Boom-18]

The servers won't be shut down for a long time. There won't be any new content but you will still be able to get games.

Harry Kane at CAM is deadly. Wish I had started using him earlier.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

99 pace, 95 shooting, 92 passing, 97 dribbling and 83 physical...

My word.

[Boom-Boom-18]

He has been a fantastic super sub for me. 6 goals in 4 games after coming on in the 60th minute in each game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've been bringing him off the bench straight away for me for a few games. He's absolutely electric.

[Yevrah]

When does the Lozano sbc expire? Is it tonight at 6?

[Danny]

Looks like tomorrow. Kompany expires at 6 today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did that 09 SBC and pulled TOTS Salah.

[Danny]

Ronaldo looking unlikely at this point

[Yevrah]

The new weekly objectives are probably a good measure of where we are now - I think they've given up.

[Yevrah]

Is there anything further likely to be coming after 15th when all the current stuff ends?

I ask because having sold a lot of stuff on the main account I have 1m coins and am tempted to do Prime Vieira, which would be a massive waste if the game isn't dead.

[Gray Fox]

Rapidly closing into 1 month to go until the new game. If you want a card, get it now.

[SincereTheRebel]

They have to release Ronaldo EoAE. It would be crazy otherwise.

[Gray Fox]

He's still playing though?

You only get those for retired/retiring players.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Iniesta got one.

[thommo]

Iniesta got one.

I think that was due to his retirement from international football.

[Yevrah]

My gut would become that they won’t and it’s dead, but the only thing stopping me from being 100% on it is doing Vieira.

[Yevrah]

They’re also reaching the stage where they don’t want people playing FIFA 18, so to release a Ronaldo at that point would be folly.

[SincereTheRebel]

I dont feel FIFA is a game where if FIFA 19 is out, people still stay on FIFA 18.

[Yevrah]

That feeling when you realise the only player that perfectly fits the bill to complete the SBC you're working on is dead.

[John]

Ugo Ehiogu?

[Yevrah]

Astori.

9 of the 12 done for Vieira now.

[Yevrah]

The Vieira packs:

Rare Mega Pack: 89 FoF Stones
Rare Gold Pack: 85 FUT Birthday Bolasie
Jumbo Premium Gold Pack: Nothing of note
Jumbo Rare Players Pack: 85 FUT Birthday Pereira, 84 Aduriz and a lot of wank
Jumbo Premium Gold Pack: Nothing of note
Mega Pack: 90 FoF Garay
Premium Gold Players Pack: Nada
Jumbo Rare Players Pack: TotS Wendell, TotS Masiello, TotS Bender, FoF Aeola
Jumbo Premium Gold Pack: TotS Bailey, 86 Pepe
Rare Players Pack: TotS Aouar
Prime Gold Players Pack: 89 FoF Zabaleta, 88 FoF Mina

At this point I wasn't going to open the final pack (a Jumbo Rare Players pack) on the back of that run, so went for packs for coins:

Jumbo Premium Gold Pack: 89 FoF Podolski
Premium Gold Pack: Shite, so onto the final reward pack:

Jumbo Rare Players Pack: TotS Marquinhos, IF Soukou

Time to try out Patrick.

[Danny]

TOTS Michy and Scream Crouch in my Marquee Matchups

[Danny]

Prices in the up somewhat.

Nothing too crazy though right now

[Boom-Boom-18]

Won division one for the first time. Guessing it's a lot easier at the moment but still pretty happy.

[Yevrah]

Vieira is a beast, but the game is dead so got him too late.

[Yevrah]

Weekly objectives being unimaginative shit again and lack of any SBC's confirm this is done.

[John]

Not so done that EA don't fancy their chances of ringing a few more quid out of it. ST Messi and Mbappe in the new TOTW.

[Yevrah]

I haven't seen them yet, but presumably there are multiple cards for each player already available that are better.

[John]

Not in packs. And in Mbappe's case I think you can only have a top ST Mbappe is to have got his OTW at the start.

Generally the more IFs a player has the better he has to be to get another one. They both have about ten cards but they got these ones for getting two goals.

I'd completely missed Andre Silva going to Sevilla too. Hat trick on his debut means he's scored more goals than he did for Milan.

His IF looks fun.

[SincereTheRebel]

Why is the next instalment of FIFA released weeks after the European football season starts? The IF content should be all on FIFA19.

[Yevrah]

Sergio Rico closing in on 1,000 games, which may well be my last act of FIFA18.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Been playing some 19 closed beta through a friend's account and it needs work.

There are a lot of strange bounces/other physics stuff (more so than usual) and shooting at the moment is very ropey. They've also nerfed driven passes and the low driven shot but boosted corner goals.

It is a fun engine though, much like the early one in 18.

[SincereTheRebel]

Looking at the new features. It looks like they have licences for the top 5 leagues and champions league now. Hopefully, we get POTM for leagues other than the Prem. The amount of ball gobbling the Bundesliga youtube channel does for FIFA the past two years. It would be good to see POTM for Germany.

[Yevrah]

Quincy Promes had better move to a proper league.

[Yevrah]

Apparently Milan and Roma were after him, has their window closed yet?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Two days left.

[The Merse]

My gut would become that they won’t and it’s dead, but the only thing stopping me from being 100% on it is doing Vieira.

Same here. No real reason in terms of my team as Futties Bakayoko is a beast, but as with Henry I’m motivated by romantic reasoning. 7/10 done. Problem is how costly TOTW players are now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Quincy Promes had better move to a proper league.

Heading to Sevilla today.

1035427159811284992

[Yevrah]

Promes, Ben Yedder and Williams in a front three will be. :alan:

[SincereTheRebel]

Start a FIFA 19 thread shitface.

[Yevrah]

Have they changed when the squad battles refresh? I have an update in 14 minutes? :cab:

[Yevrah]

https://s8.postimg.cc/fzmu3679x/02-09-2018_23-41-08.jpg (https://postimg.cc/image/ekl9eg66p/)

Finally did it and with that probably my last act on FIFA18.

Legend. :hail:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was hoping to get to 1000 goals with Kane but I gave up at around 850ish.

[SincereTheRebel]

I fired this up for the first time in about a month last night. All the high rated special cards are super high for whatever reason. I would have thought everything would be super low by now.

[Danny]

1038109664167092224

[Gray Fox]

Stick a fork in it, it's done now.

[SincereTheRebel]

And they didn't give us an EOAE Ronaldo

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And they didn't give us an EOAE Ronaldo

Which you guaranteed us you piece of shit.

[SincereTheRebel]

Which you guaranteed us you piece of shit.

Watch your mouth.

It does not happen often. But, I was wrong. EA let us all down.

[Danny]

https://i.redd.it/16h2tucd7wk11.jpg

[Gray Fox]

Salah 88? :roflol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They should have made him a 96.

[Gray Fox]

Having him rated 2 lower than Higuain feels like an insult.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I do agree, he should be a 90.

[John]

This week's TOTW is a belter. Shame the game is done.

Yevrah have a look at Bale.
