Eafc 25

[Raoul Duke]

There's some massive new patch out which apparently makes the game much more fast. Not tried it yet myself

[Yevrah]

TOTY is tempting me to get back into this, albeit I've no chance of packing one with zero preparation. First time in about 6 years. :cry:

[Danny]

Greenwood Ligue Un POTM

Comment on fut.gg "Should have had Bruiser+". Oof.

[Yevrah]

Apparently EA are giving away a free 96 Zidane to everyone over TOTY. The player numbers must be through the floor.

[Danny]

Bale TOTY SBC makes it a tempter.

[Waffdon]

Apparently EA are giving away a free 96 Zidane to everyone over TOTY. The player numbers must be through the floor.

Just a 90 that looks way behind the power curve already

[Danny]

The evo (fuck knows what a club member is) makes him look nice though.

Edit: Apparently if you played before Oct 31st you get the evo.

[Raoul Duke]

Servers absolutely shitting the bed. Standard

[Yevrah]

I managed to get in, opened the 5 or so packs I had from the daily login stuff. Didn't pack a TOTY and I'm not sure I can be arsed to try further. 84's look like they're about 5-6k and you need 9 of them to get a fucking 85+ player pick. League SBC's will be fucked too I'd imagine, but even if they weren't I can't even be arsed to do the 12 games to get a 94 Zidane, so even if I do pack a TOTY, what's the point?

I think this might have finally died for me. Maybe more or less a full year off will reignite a spark next time, but I'm physically repulsed by how much all of the SBC's are so I'm not even sure it's that. I've been playing a fair bit of Fallout 76 lately and while it obviously can't go full EA on the grinding content (as it just doesn't have the user base to support that level of nonsense without railing the profit it makes), the respect it has for your time (which I'd still barely describe as good) is miles ahead of EAFC.

[Yevrah]

Like 20 squads for KDB. The uber cards at the end of the year are going to be about 60 of them, it's just all so unnecessary.

[Yevrah]

84's look like they're about 5-6k and you need 9 of them to get a fucking 85+ player pick.

Scrap that, I must have looked at one in game that still has some value. 1.5k they actually are.

[Danny]

1748444912817746189

[Yevrah]

Right, scrap almost everything I said last night. The gameplay is fun and I am back in. SBC's are still extortionate, as evidenced by the Kimmich one today, but if the game had played like this 4 months ago and there was as much to do as there is now I wouldn't have binned it so quickly. Over halfway through Zidane's evo now and he's already a joy.

[Danny]

I gave the trial a go the other week and ended up picking this up when EA pushed the ultimate at me on the cheap.

Game feels alright. Think I am just going to mess with YANITED Evos until I get over it again.

Dembele into that TOTY evo seems right up your street :nodd:

[Yevrah]

Don't have the coins sadly as I dipped out too quickly to build a sufficient balance.

[Yevrah]

Er lads.

7 years not out. :chief:

[Danny]

:D Who?

I got Martinez yesterday but didnt bother posting cause 2 years in a row of the mens keeper is nothing to write home about.

Also think I am going to do Bale.

[Yevrah]

I should stress that I've done next to nothing this year (which my fumbling through the menus below is testament to), a few league upgrade packs and that's pretty much it. But, working through the season ladder, this happens:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbw0iNIdFno

[Danny]

Nice! They really want you back :D

Yeah I havent done much with it grinding wise. Evos and good upgrades as they release but not doing the normal upgrades etc.

[SincereTheRebel]

I dived back in last week to start the evo journey again. I also have 99 players in my SBC storage rated 86 and higher so I think i may throw them at Vieira

https://i.ibb.co/j8nRwjM/wolves1.jpg (https://ibb.co/tHVX21s)

[SincereTheRebel]

There was some evo which would have got defender toty evo that could have got kilman to 92 physcial and 82 passing but i missed it. I did manage to get him with Anticipate+ with 30 mins left of the evo

[Danny]

I have Yoro into that one. Did remember Klaiber first for the intercept play style

https://i.imgur.com/mGOthjO.png

[Danny]

Carvajal from todays defender upgrade pack.

It said GK at first, I was worried but that was just Kobel walking out.

[Yevrah]

Nice! I'm being greedy, but it would be lovely to get one from a pack. Not even that shitty Bayern HM RB from one yet.

[Danny]

Oh I packed and sold her :D Doesnt count.

9 segments into Bale mostly using the dupe storage.

[Yevrah]

I haven't done a single player SBC since getting back into this and I'm sat on so much fodder it's unreal.

Probably not enough to do Bale mind, so I have my eye on Kane and (if it stretches) Foden. Oh and I need to do Cancelo who is basically a must complete for me now.

[Danny]

I had 100 86+. Only really lacking 90's figuring I will come across those in time or use those freebies we were given.

Cancelo interests me, Carvajal might change that plan.

[Yevrah]

Need him for the Ronaldo links. :harold:

How have you got so much fodder? Haven't you only just picked it up?

[Danny]

I was messing around on the app over BF and Winter Wildcards when I was a bit bored. It was handing out fodder just for logging in.

That and I have done barely any players SBCs/casinos

[Raoul Duke]

I've not got a single TOTY or even a HM - I think this is the 2nd year running :nono:

[SincereTheRebel]

Playing last night and I unlocked some TOTY Evo 5. Not sure how as I thought it expired and was avilable via some Evo cup.



:drool:

https://i.imgur.com/MmzoKwT.jpeg

[Danny]

They brought the cup back. It was 4 days last time which was shitty.

To continue my theme I added Frimpong to my Gwinn and Carvajal. If a right back exists, I will pack them.

[SincereTheRebel]

The cup is avilable to play right now, for those missing TOTY Evo?

[Danny]

Actually I think the objective is gone. I think you probably did the daily play one and I got them mixed up :D

[Raoul Duke]

There was a previous cup and now this new one (from yesterday).

I've got Varane into the Evo and he's going to be a beast. Seems much more viable to have a bunch of Evo cards in your team this year

[Raoul Duke]

The duck has been broken: Rudiger out of the 86x3 for finishing the daily login SBC. Probably replaces Konate in the team

[Yevrah]

Gwinn from mine. She might even get into my team. :eyemouth:

[Raoul Duke]

Whatever clusterfuck our pals at EA did earlier meant I ended up getting my packs back from the above, while keeping Rudi. Nothing but fodder back, but a rare balls-up that ends up in my favour

[Yevrah]

They've clearly cocked up by making that 82x20 repeatable. I can't play tonight and fully expect it to be gone by the time I can again tomorrow evening.

[Danny]

Its still there.

[Danny]

1884552526696951969

[Yevrah]

Its still there.

Sweet. Home in 2/3 hours and I'm going to hammer it all evening at the expense of everything else (maybe do the 85+ packs too). With 470k of coins on hand I should be able to go for ages.

[SincereTheRebel]

Mbappe won player of the month, so I may hold off on my 100 storage cards until he arrives. Ive never used him in UT outside of draft. Unless he comes as a LW, he does not fit 'The System'

[Raoul Duke]

What rating do you reckon the card will come in at? I'd guess (based on market prices) it'd be a 93 and cost 3m, which is pretty intense

94 = 5m
92 = 2m
91 = 1m

[Yevrah]

It's his first potm right? I reckon it'll be a +1 on whatever his gold card is.

[Danny]

He has a TOTW, so I think that puts the POTM up to 93.

Question is do they give him additional playstyles.

[SincereTheRebel]

My guess is 92 rated. 2.5m coins. Same as Bale. One playstyle plus

[Yevrah]

Right, we are home and we are on. Just had to slog through a game of squad battles to complete the weekly objectives and unlock another couple of player picks. Bit of housekeeping and we are on the 82+'s.

I can feel another TOTY from somewhere. :drool:

Oh and I need to coin buy the TOTY kits too. Can't forget to do that.

[Yevrah]

https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust

[Yevrah]

4 82x20's in and we have our first Gwinn of the night.

[Raoul Duke]

I've done loads and so far have a HM Musiala and a TOTY Martinez to show for it. Got to go to bed soon but will crack on with a few more

EDIT: Irene Parades just joined in the party

[Yevrah]

Adding to the fodder nicely but am still at 1 Gwinn.

[Yevrah]

Should add the coin balance is building nicely too, albeit slowly. Plan is to get enough coins to buy the TOTY kits and open one of the uber 475k packs tomorrow night.

[Danny]

I’m about 30 in with just a Musiala to show for it.

I have packed a couple of informs from the tradeable packs so that has sped up the coin generation.

[Yevrah]

If the in forms keep flowing it's so much smoother. When they don't it's a bit of a ball ache.

[Yevrah]

Martinez. Thought it was him or Berger when I saw GK, only to realise that it was Sommer's regular gold and a double walk out. At this point I thought it could be anyone so a bit gutted that it ended up as him. Still, assuming he's good, he's in the team.

[SincereTheRebel]

I only want that Martinez for the P&P Wolves

[Danny]

Apparently able to evo two players at once from Friday.

[SincereTheRebel]

That willl be useful. However I find myself ahead of the Evo power curve now. All my evos are 89+ rated, but the new evos are capped at level 87 for you to start. Very annoying. The Wolves P&P players isnt very deep at all. There are about 180 players with over half of them being bronze

Is mbappe out yet?

[Danny]

Yoro coming in future stars after I did my TOTY evo on him. ffs.

Should have done Slabhead or Evans

[Yevrah]

Frimpong in. RIP Gwinn.

[Yevrah]

Miyama. First icon. There goes doing Phil Foden's SBC.

[Danny]

Finally got a TOTY on spin 97

Fucking Carvajal dupe. I mean it makes the last 89 for Bale a breeze but fuck sake.

[Yevrah]

With the amount that there are that's brutal. Dupe theory alive and well.

[SincereTheRebel]

They released Mbappe yet?

[Yevrah]

My 475k coin pack was an absolute RIP.

[Danny]

Tapped at 102. Mostly because I am finally out of 83s.

I did try one of the 250k coins packs and got another Gwinn.

[Danny]

They released Mbappe yet?

No but

1885298657735438345

One PS is rough.

[SincereTheRebel]

I think ill pass. I rarely do tricks and no LW or Quickstep+

[Yevrah]

Tapped at 102. Mostly because I am finally out of 83s.

I did try one of the 250k coins packs and got another Gwinn.

A brutal run of no in forms from the 82x20 is getting me close to submission too due to coin issues. I opened the 475k pack a bit early I think.

Musiala added, so that's 2 TOTY's, 1 Icon and 3 HM's. Not bad for no prep whatsoever.

[Yevrah]

Oh and I've still not packed a female TOTY.

[Danny]

I had Renard last year.

I did buy one of those 50k TOTW provisions packs at one point. Significant discount over the market.

[Yevrah]

I've just been doing the pick, but it's rough when you have to open three in a row. I'm now basically flooded with 88s and 89s, but nothing else.

[Yevrah]

A tradeable in form from the two player pack keeps us in the hunt!

[Danny]

https://i.imgur.com/MOhNiO3.png

[Yevrah]

:D

[Danny]

I just realized the Mbappe PS is TRICKSTER. Not even his quick step.

Hard pass.

[Danny]

1885350965550674223

[SincereTheRebel]

I just realized the Mbappe PS is TRICKSTER. Not even his quick step.

Hard pass.

3.3m without a dribbling playstyle+. Not interested.

[Raoul Duke]

Mbappe looks a bit shit. Best could be tidy though

[Danny]

Careful when picking the evo / player thing.

You only get one card and they only go into 1 of the three evos available.

I picked Hall because I dont care about any of the options.

[Raoul Duke]

Went for the Arsenal kid. Was either him or Simeone but don't really care too much for any of the cards.

[Yevrah]

Went for the German for chemistry reasons. +1 for not giving a shit about any of them.

[SincereTheRebel]

Just say that Gomes card which fits nice into my Wolves team. I was about to evolve him into a 89 rated card without any play styles but this changes everything.

Im alos throwing my fodder into Vieira. No other SBCs interest me.

[Danny]

Available Evos in Week 1 are:

4* Skill Move Upgrade
4* Weak Foot Upgrade

8 of 15 base Playstyle pick

Pinged Pass
Block
Acrobatic
Bruiser
Aerial
Long Ball Pass
Press Proven
Relentless
Finesse Shot
Jockey
Flair
Whipped Pass
Technical
Slide Tackle
Dead Ball

Group Reward: 1 of 5 Playstyle+ pick
Power Shot
Incisive Pass
Rapid
Anticipate
Quick Step

Available Evos in Week 2 are:

1 of 2 consumable pick of either:
5* Skill Move Upgrade
5* Weak Foot Upgrade

Group Reward: 1 of 5 Playstyle+ pick **
Trickster
Tiki-Taka
First Touch

if you havent started it seems like putting the played in midfielder before anything else is the best option.

I am going to do this for the LB Hall

Block
Bruiser
Aerial
Long Ball Pass
Press Proven
Jockey
Whipped Pass
Slide Tackle
5* Weak Foot
Quick Step+
Intercept+

Only tempters outside of those were relentless (91 stamina before the next boost, seems a waste) and pinged pass (but I am not sure how often I will be driving passes in with R1 from LB)

[Yevrah]

That Season 5 FC Pro Open Matchday Broadcast objective in the FC Pro Objectives tab, can I still do it by watching a past broadcast? If so, which video do I need to be watching?

[Danny]

I dont think so, but the finals will kick off in about 15 mins for new packs.

[Yevrah]

Cheers Danny.

Seems that way as I've been watching what I thought it was for about an hour now and nothing. Proper bag of Auts still, but quite like the fantasy football element they've added into it and the relative honesty of the commentary team about player's flaws etc.
'

[Danny]

Anders being king aut.

I haven’t watched any of it. Gets its own (muted) tab, lowest video setting and ignored

[Yevrah]

Do the rewards typically come through immediately? Over 15 minutes in and nothing yet.

[Yevrah]

They've kicked in now.

[Raoul Duke]

What nation is the "mystery nation"?

EDIT: England apparently

[Danny]

Reddit saying the same.

Brazil evo out. Neymar or start working on the fidget spinner

[Danny]

Just say that Gomes card which fits nice into my Wolves team. I was about to evolve him into a 89 rated card without any play styles but this changes everything.

Im alos throwing my fodder into Vieira. No other SBCs interest me.

IF Cunha into the Brazil Evo, or his gold into sharpshooter > TOTY > Brazil looking filthy

[Danny]

:lewis: way ahead of it.

[SincereTheRebel]

May as well use this to showcase my favourite players so far


Harvey Griffiths



I was interested early on to take a bronze Wolves card on the evo path and at 6'3. He was perfect from the start of the game. Put him into multiple evos and the most recent evo, I've added DLP+ and it has added a new dimension to his game. With 88 agility, 81 balance, 87 ball control with press proven. He is surprisingly silky on the ball and can burst out of trouble

https://i.ibb.co/ZpsJC48C/harvey-bronze.png

https://i.ibb.co/QvT7QSXQ/harvey-evo.png





Ferland Mendy



1000 appearances for him now. Packed him early untradeable. 120 goals, all coming from free kicks with dead ball +. Before corners were nerf'd. He would help VVD with an asssist.
https://i.ibb.co/HpCcpr0P/mendy.png




Pablo Sarabia




Fake stats. His dribbling is unreal. Even before the patch, he was so nice on the ball but now, it is even better. I wait until my opponent brings two or more players over to deal with him and then pass it off. Great card.


https://i.ibb.co/RT9QsPft/sarabia.png





Max Kilman




I didn't manage to get all the defenders throughout toty but I probably got all the important ones. Havent used him too much, but given his 6'4 frame and 200 pound build. He is very good.

https://i.ibb.co/GftXCGCc/kilman.png

[SincereTheRebel]

Also, I didnt pack any TOTY. However I did back Xavi who is great at passing and dribbling, but his shooting and strength is lacking for a playmaker CM. Given I no longer have any players to Evo at the moment. I played with that free Zidane last night. Man is sensational. Even without the upgrades. I play one holding CDM and two CMs who have to have playmaker+. Zidane does and he is an absolute machine. Best card I've used all year.


In my Wolves team. I have 3 players that are not Wolves. Mendy, Vini Jr POTM and Courtois. I may have to get Zidane in.

[Danny]

Mendy! Rat! :lol:

That bronze one is nuts. Hoping to get somewhere near what with Dan Gore from United. He might be a sneaky investment since he just went out on load. Would also recommend picking up a couple of Rashford. Always a popular one for an Evo and at 900 coins it’s a 300 coin lost at worst.

[SincereTheRebel]

I have just done Vieira as backup, as he isnt going into the team over Griffiths.

[Danny]

1886414067625070712

Guess who I put in creative catalsyt? "No chance he gets a card anytime soon"


https://i.imgur.com/pFHRLK4.png

Though at 82 rated with those stats I am not too worried. Its just the PS and roles

[Yevrah]

That card is arse though. 20k if it had come out as an Honourable Mention and the SBC will probably be about ten times that.

[Danny]

Oh I know its arse. I am just more miffed that I wasted the evo :D

Though mine being 82 rated with high 80's where it matters means I will be able to juice him again soon should I wish.

[Yevrah]

Single player Rush is genuinely the worst thing ever. I wouldn't care and be happy to forgo the objectives reward but there's some SP available which I need to get that season player so I can stick him in one of the Evo's.

3 wins I need and it's taken about 12 games so far to get 2.

[Danny]

It’s tragic. I find myself only playing it when I am doing an Evo on someone who can defend. That way I play at the back while the retards run around upfront.

Looks like Anders picked Schweinsteiger for the SBC

[Raoul Duke]

Is that Mount card a flashback to when he wasn't disabled and used to actually play football?

On that Versatile AM one I can either put Amad or Cesinha (5* Brazilian). Both are tempting

[SincereTheRebel]

You should run a TTH platoon for Evo's. Easy wins

[Yevrah]

Have to say, I am loving this at the moment. Probably the best the game has been. Such a shame they can't string it together for a whole year's worth.

[Raoul Duke]

I feel like they definitely stealth rolled-back some of the changes to bring the average score down. The offside runs have increased a lot, for example.

I really like how viable Evos are now as well. I have 6/11 players in my team who I've evolved and they're not terrible. There's a lot of options to meld players into what you want them to be.

[SincereTheRebel]

I think the key is to hold off on evo',s and even skip some, if they dont give your players the stats you really want. I want to add quick step to my 87 sarabia. I could have launched him up to 89 for the past few weeks but im holding off and hope, it comes. Its super meta though so its unlikely for a while.

[Raoul Duke]

Yep, this is the way - optimise it for "meta" cards who are underrated (literally) and then build what will actually work.

Example: I have Kante who has Intercept and not much else, a really effective body type and solid base stats. With a few Evos he's now 4/4, got a bunch of great other play styles that fix his glaring issues (tiki-taka for passing etc.) and have added in some others to round out the card. I now want to wait for either an acceleration boost or a long pass Evo to chuck him in. It probably won't happen until I can add two PS+'s though

[Danny]

Yeah I am leaving a lot of them as late as possible so I can be sure I am happy with it.

Doing Dalot in Pacy Protector but skipping the last segment. Doesn’t need gold slide tackle when he has silver. Rather get something better.

The 88+ was quite nice to me. Marquinhos, James and Reite. Took the latter as dupe fodder.

Still need to do Kane, Cancelo and Mount. Not much else interests me.

[Yevrah]

If I put an Icon or a Hero into an evo do I lose their chemistry bonuses?

[SincereTheRebel]

If I put an Icon or a Hero into an evo do I lose their chemistry bonuses?

Dont think so, otherwise that Evo Zidane would be fucked and i dont think it is. I inow there was a mahrez evo that lost him his chem boost.

Had a free saturday to take Wolves Evo into WL but PSN is offline

[Danny]

Cant believe its still down :face:

[Gray Fox]

The big Madden bowl(end of season event to crown best MUT player) final was to be shown at 12 last night and they've postponed it.

Those old enough of us will remember in like 2010, PSN went down for about 3 weeks like this. Hopefully this isnt that.

[SincereTheRebel]

Its back up and WL has been extended until Wednesday

[Danny]

Yeah EA did people a solid extending a lot of shit.

Promo based evos are annoying.

[SincereTheRebel]

Managed to scrape 8 wins with the Wolves team. Didnt pack anything that sold for more than 20k.

Annoying that you evo a card and you lose the promo colour behind it



https://i.ibb.co/7xFG6tXL/Screenshot-20250209-170526.png (https://ibb.co/FktBj4KC)

[Danny]

It really is. I thought about giving Diallo the shadow striker++, but he loses the TOTY skin

[Yevrah]

I'm clearly being a complete numpty but how the hell are you meant to complete that latest future stars challenge SBC?

Dropping only 2 chem points when you need 3 leagues and can only have 4 players from one country seems impossible.

Think I've got it. :face:

[Raoul Duke]

9 players from the same league, three players from the same nation, two from the same team but different leagues (like Bayern men + women)

[SincereTheRebel]

Just done Pirlo and man is a wizard. Those long balls from deep over the top are fantastic.

[Raoul Duke]

https://x.com/EASPORTSFC/status/1888981443788914779

[Danny]

https://i.imgur.com/WAWO9oj.png

https://i.imgur.com/iKLyv4n.png

Cant decide which Dalot to do.

Option 1 (Slide Tackle and Incisive) is by completing playmaking protector and then attackers instinct.

Option 2 (Incisive and Quick Step) comes by completing three levels of PP and then attackers instinct.

Attributes remain the same SM and WF remain the same.

PS+ Quick Step and Slide Tackle swap between being gold and silver Role different greatly between the two evos.

Stuck between what to choose. The roles would be very nice to have, but then slide tackle is gold rather than quick step.

[Danny]

https://x.com/EASPORTSFC/status/1888981443788914779

Saw someone mention he was coming back, cant even remember why he was removed.

[Raoul Duke]

I would go for Incisive and Quick Step on Dalot there. Slide tackle is pretty pointless.

[SincereTheRebel]

Slide tackle pro is fantastic, if you can remember to slide tackle all the time. But it isnt part of anyones game. Bot worth the evo though unless you are forced.

[Danny]

Free Maradona like the Zidane. Assuming I will get the card but not the evo. RIP.

[Yevrah]

Hernandez from a Phil Foden segment. Ker-ching.

[Raoul Duke]

Free Maradona would be bonkers. The game must be absolutely dying on its arse this year if they're actually handing out sweets instead of dog shit filled with broken glass, as per usual.

Probably shitting it for GTAV/Switch 2 coming out and stealing all their customers. You love to see it

[Yevrah]

They basically completely fucked everything on release and customers must have left in droves.

[Danny]

Hernandez from a Phil Foden segment. Ker-ching.

Insta sell rather than into the Evo?

Maradona is a 77 rated card you Evo up (apparently)

[Yevrah]

Yeah, he went for 399k.

[Danny]

Here’s his replacement

1890126047783579862

[Yevrah]

:drool:

This close to team of the season it made no sense to not only forgo the 400k of coins from selling Hernandez but also chucking whatever it was into the Evo to upgrade him.

[Danny]

Absolutely.

SBC for @Raoul

1890106639442956633

[SincereTheRebel]

I havent put Jota into an Evo yet but rumours suggests he is coming as some type of special card. :drool:

[Raoul Duke]

Absolutely.

SBC for @Raoul

I think my Evo is probably better. Same with Mendy as well, probably


I havent put Jota into an Evo yet but rumours suggests he is coming as some type of special card. :drool:

The leaked special was Diego Jota, that I saw

[Danny]

Leaked flashback Jota. They do love Jota.

[SincereTheRebel]

Can he play LW and is it tonight?

[Danny]

Dunno and dunno but here is his stats. All of his cards have been LW so I cant imagine this one isnt

1890363587895402524

I reckon they go with one of the big ones tonight like Mendy.

[SincereTheRebel]

Nice. I will do him regardless even though im stacked for the Wolves front line. Could do with a few Evo's for the CB and LB positions.

[Danny]

CB evo coming today I think. 88 rated cap. Not sure about other stats

Can you really do 50 of those grassroot grind SBC's per day?

[Danny]

Apparently so.

[Danny]

I am like 30 in without packing anything too great.

I did pack Messi Lingard from the league SBC though. He might have to go into that attacking mid evo. Dan Gore has to wait again

[Danny]

Finished it and it heard my bitching. IF Pulisic, Di Lorenzo, Zaccagni and Mpanzu from the last 20

[SincereTheRebel]

Not going to get chance over the weekend but im looking forward to try Drogba on target man.

That bronze grind looks good but looks really long. I still have 99 86+ cards in duplicate storage. I never did Vieira and will probably slip him now. A good icon defender would be good. That Bale card destroys me every time but he looks a little stiff for a LW winger. Anyone used him?

[Danny]

Jota is out sincere.

Not great LW evo out

[SincereTheRebel]

Jota is out sincere.

Not great LW evo out

Nice one. I see Gibbs-White has a card too which looks good for future evos.

[Danny]

he looks good in curl it in already (combine with tiki taka evo from rush if you don’t want dead ball)

[SincereTheRebel]

Ive already used curl it. I will add tika taka to him though. Looks good for my CM++ playmaker.

You cant get Drogba on a lengthy :(

[Raoul Duke]

What are people doing with Diego? I've gone for the RW version. Also did Vieira earlier.

I reckon my Evo Kante is better than the SBC

[Raoul Duke]

I think they've fucked up this "A Star Is Born" Evo - it gives your player mega stats but doesn't boost Overall, meaning they can probably easily fit into something else :sherlock:

[Danny]

Its a mad one.

I am not sure who to use it on. I do have Bebe in the club :drool:

[Raoul Duke]

I've got a Cesinha. 5*5* mental stats and 74-rated :D

[Danny]

Great stuff on the right card.

[SincereTheRebel]

Minteh. I had an untradeable in my club so I went with him. None of my P&P wolves players fit, as they have all been evolved past a75.

https://www.fut.gg/players/271800-yankuba-minteh/evolutions/?evolutions_combinations=832&only_evolutions_combinations=1

[Danny]

I have him too, used him to score 5 in that cup but going to hold on for the evo. Hopeful I can make it work with someone United thats not Bebe

[Danny]

[Raoul Duke]

Tidy.

My main conundrum right now is who to put Tiki Taka ++ onto. So many good options

[Danny]

I will probably use it to avoid trickster on one of the current chains.

I put the Trickster plus on a bronze and discarded him just to get it out of the way when looking at Evos :D

[SincereTheRebel]

I used Taka++ on Gibbs-White only for another Evo to cone out that fits him that offers it anyway :cab:

[Danny]

Oof.

Also the evo didnt come as "leaked". rip.

[SincereTheRebel]

Ffs. I cant put Gibbs-White into Grassroot evo because that TikaTaka+ means the card rarity is not Grassroots Great

[SincereTheRebel]

I usually wait on Evos. No idea why i didnt this time around

[Danny]

Rashford transferred card is in. Meaning the YANITED one is out of packs (of course I packed the Villa one already...). Nice Striker evo this weekend EA to go with the mid LW please

[Danny]

They wont be 74 rated obviously but both of these are getting and IF today (apparently)

[Danny]

Based on yesterdays nonsense I will take it with a pinch of salt but leakers saying "big striker upgrade coming"

[Danny]

If you some how have his tradeable villa card its 30k.

[Raoul Duke]

I have his Utd card untradeable. Think him into this + WF upgrade looks alright. Likely eligible for another Evo soon too, given the rating

[Danny]

It’s what I am thinking too. Was hoping complete winger first did a bit more for him (not finishing it) but the boost would be minimal

[Danny]

https://www.fut.gg/players/250961-joshua-zirkzee/evolutions/?id=250961_836

:uhoh:

[SincereTheRebel]

They wont be 74 rated obviously but both of these are getting and IF today (apparently)

I used his Star is born card, and he is shapped like Dembele in game. He cant pass or shoot and if you run in a straight line, he is quick but it feels like fake stats.

[Raoul Duke]

Some bananas options for this "Backline Boss" evo - VVD, Stam, Bombito

[Yevrah]

VVD is still in my first team. :drool:

[Danny]

Some bananas options for this "Backline Boss" evo - VVD, Stam, Bombito

NumeroFut Bailly. Has all defensive play styles with two being gold if you took intercept version

[SincereTheRebel]

Ive thrown it on Conor Coady which means he has all defensive playstyles now while being very low rated



https://i.ibb.co/bMbJpxSt/FGH.png

[SincereTheRebel]

Also if you dont have enough room for the gold playstyle, does it automatically become a silver playstyle? I dont think ive ever noticed.

[Danny]

They have changed evos recently to give you the silver one early on the chain. Which then upgrades to gold if there is space.

I think it was added to counter the bug with the TOTY evo where players only ended up with 2 PS.

[SincereTheRebel]

If my player has two gold platstyles already, and i put him in a evo that gives another gold that he does not have. It should get added as a silver. Nice.

[Danny]

As long as EA set it up that way but they seem to be lately. Great move from them in all honesty.

Backline boss does anticipate silver in level 1 and then gold in level 2.
Just like Jamie does power shot silver in level 1 and then gold in level 2. It also does rapid silver in level 2 and then gold in 3.
Curl it in did the same for dead ball. Giving silver and then gold.


Its not a RULE per say but seems to be the plan

[Raoul Duke]

The thing they are missing a trick with is to let you pick playstyles and/or remove them. Some cool players out there but you have to just stick with the shit default ones

[Danny]

Yes please! I am hoping they release something today that I can put on Antony before he goes into Brazil world tour so I dont get trickster.

That gives tiki taka otherwise I would have used the free one of those they gave out.

I feel like picking and choosing would break the game though.

[SincereTheRebel]

Let me toggle the cosmetic too ive put my player into. These default greens are shit.

[Danny]

10 game cup for an evo containing powershot silver and then +10 to long shots, shot power and volleys for no overall gain.

I really thought it was + and my Antony prayers were answered.

[SincereTheRebel]

Ffs. The mode is mystery ball

[Yevrah]

Is it 10 full length match wins of that shit needed? :sick:

[SincereTheRebel]

I managed to do it in about 40 minutes. About half my games, my opp quit once i scored first but becuase there are times you get 3x boost for goals. Scumbags play out the whole game. Its looks like it is about 3 minutes a half.

[Danny]

Seems a good chunk of people are playing GG. So that’s good. I got a few in yesterday when I thought it was the + play style. Relaxed on it when it wasn’t.

[Yevrah]

For the second week in a row I've claimed the player from the player objective without having done all of the objectives, thus missing out on an 84x4+ pack. :face:

[Danny]

You can’t complete the remaining after? I must have missed out last week too.

Looks like I am dropping the loan Baku for 7 games

[Yevrah]

Yeah, you only need to do 5 of them and once you claim the player (via claim all) you can’t claim the 6th if you haven’t already done it.

[SincereTheRebel]

A few new evos look interesting with one that gives 99 dribbling. My favourite card to ive used is Sarabia but I think if I give him the 99 dribbling, it will affect him down the line I'm hoping, he will be low enough rated to add QuickStep+. I could evolve him into the beast below but I tihnk ill pass for now.

Sarbia


https://i.ibb.co/LzbN2Tcp/sarabia.png


Ive upgraded Podence over the past week or so and he feels so good. He cant really shoot or pass, but I play him as a LW with the attack instruction on Winger++ which means he stays wide all the time. It is a great card to use at the moment. Giving him that grassroot evo means he has two chem. Annoying that when you evo him again, he will lose this benefit.

Podence

https://i.ibb.co/TxHq8Dq3/podence.png


Myson does not have many any silver playstyles at all, and you feel it in game at times. Especailly in the passing areas. I can do Fantasy Captain and turn him into a dribbling demom


https://i.ibb.co/j9jFg3rj/myson.png


I was hoping to pack him untradeable but I havent managed to do it yet and ive given up. He completed 711 minutes for Wolves in 20/21 season across 22 games. An average of 32 minutes. Just paid 100k for the lad :cool:


https://i.ibb.co/Sw4yD8ZF/vitinha.png

[Danny]

That lack of playstyles on Hwang is wild for his stats.


The current Rashford plan:



https://i.imgur.com/AAGYgqb.png
https://i.imgur.com/jQuoQcp.png

[SincereTheRebel]

Hwang went from base common, straight into the toty evo. I knew, it will be unlikely he will fit an evo that just gives silver play styles for a while

[Danny]

Right. I am sort of in that situation with Amad but atleast he went into the Evo with 2.

Hoping they do more of the PS boosts (block/rapid and long ball/anticipate being pointless for it) though it would mean losing the TOTY skin :face:

[SincereTheRebel]

Cosmetic Problems :)

[Danny]

Normally I wouldnt give a shit but that ones a little different :lol:

[Danny]

The state of this cup :D

[Yevrah]

I'm not sure I can do it. Played three games and neither of the two I took the lead in were Golden Goal. When the fun stops, stop.

[Danny]

For the cup I am going to wait a couple of days, get the dribbling evo at 4 wins and sack it off.

[Yevrah]

Oh is it a new cup?

[Raoul Duke]

I might join you on that Rashford journey. Looks bananas

[Danny]

Oh is it a new cup?

Well they called it a league but yeah.

36 games. Lots of packs with a mad looking Maicon at 30 wins

Going to be worse than WL sweat

[Raoul Duke]

Is the cup game limited? Or can you just grind to Maicon eventually?

[Yevrah]

30 wins needed from 36 games to get him. :D

[Raoul Duke]

Fantastic. So unless you're a pro streamer you're not getting him.

I guess I'm not entirely against it, suppose people who are better at the game should have better rewards, but previously their principle has been "you have more shots at earning something" rather than "this is a direct barrier".

[SincereTheRebel]

I played it last nighrt and I went 4-0. It didnt seem too difficulty but i suspect the matchmaking will start to kick in. I only wanted the EVO for the four wins, but I may continue playing it this week to see the outcome.

[Danny]

https://i.imgur.com/b67nNtU.png


Pretty much nukes the Rashford chain if you do it but holy hell

[Raoul Duke]

What's the chain for him?

[Danny]

https://i.imgur.com/fPQwhnJ.png

[Raoul Duke]

Nice. Him or Rashford seem viable. Hudlin too.

I just kinda resent not being able to get them up to 5/5 for that cost

[Danny]

With my already having Dalot and Maz evos going I am thinking AWB into that defensive playmaker. Was thinking Young but more PS for AWB

[SincereTheRebel]

I put 99 dribbling on Hwang and he feels the same. Regret not putting it on Gibbs-White now :sad:

[SincereTheRebel]

Can someone go into the new Friendly Cup for the ++ evo and tell me if you see what I see, once the game kicks off....

[Danny]

You mean EAs inability to code?

I played a game the other day:

Me: Red kit
Oppo: Blue kit with some yellow

Swaps on my team: yellow bibs
Swaps on oppo team: orange bibs

Ref: Blue.


Oh and the stupid tracksuits they wear

[Raoul Duke]

WUT?

https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-fc/fc-25/news/pitch-notes-fc25-training-camp-evolutions

[Danny]

I just saw that. Very weird.

30 days must be a massive evo

[Danny]

And no partials, which is interesting.

[Raoul Duke]

I assume it's just them closing off that loophole and also stopping people chucking players into consecutive Evos and creating beasts too easily

[Danny]

You can do normal ones with partials so its odd to not let them in these. My Dalot was a partial and Antony will be too.

Rashford into both of those role ++ evos before I start his chain (waiting as long as possible incase I am blessed with his FC card)

[Danny]

What is everyone doing at level 40?

Firmino looks nice but not sure.

[SincereTheRebel]

Ill take the gamble icon

[Raoul Duke]

Icon seems to be paying out fairly regularly, so might go for that. If not, fodder pack seems pretty good

[Danny]

I feel like I am sitting on a shit ton of fodder so its Firmino or gamble.

[Raoul Duke]

I just did Raphinha so my levels are depleted. He's been pretty good so far

[Raoul Duke]

What is everyone doing at level 40?

Firmino looks nice but not sure.

To borrow a phrase:

Err, lads


TOTY Pele :nodd: :chief: :groove:

[Yevrah]

Fuck me. :D

[Danny]

Should have taken the fodder pack you bastard :D

[Raoul Duke]

Tbf for a 4.5m card, the comments are pretty so-so on Futbin. Seems like he might not be all he's cracked up to be. Especially if EA are giving him out so much.

I also packed Tel from something too. Looks alright, but y'know: Lads, it's Tottenham

[Danny]

Thunderstruck Laudrup, Thunderstruck Gattuso and Thunderstuck Cole :face:

Just to balance your expectations Sincere

[Raoul Duke]

Unlucky.

I can't remember the other two in mine. Think they were both meh though

[SincereTheRebel]

Ive just checked and I am 18000xp short. They usually throw XP out towards the end of the season, but I think I need to start actually paying attention to the XP they are offering. For the fantasty cup. I got all the wins, but didnt add the 5 serie A and 5 Prem league players that give out 2000xp for example.

[Danny]

https://i.imgur.com/DWjls52.png

Now I just need to see if we get a PS+ evo in the next few days to give him something for passing rather than press proven.

[Danny]

Beckham through it :uhoh:

[Danny]

1896682771558609314

Do both :drool:

[Danny]

Garnacho might be a sneaky investment option. Currently min price. Only goes in as RM not RW. Card that spits out will be very comparable to his RTTK for significantly less outlay.

Also United tax

[Danny]

Beckham through it :uhoh:

Did an icon pick (first SBC one of the year) to get him and got his Thunderstruck :D

Guess its Antony and Garnacho for the evo.

[SincereTheRebel]

Is there a filter to show, all players that have zero playstyle+. Ive checked on FUT.GG and Futbin and cant seem to filter this

[SincereTheRebel]

Garnacho might be a sneaky investment option. Currently min price. Only goes in as RM not RW. Card that spits out will be very comparable to his RTTK for significantly less outlay.

Also United tax

Just to be clear, cards that you currently cant use. Have the RM postion? I dont quite understand?....

[Danny]

Is there a filter to show, all players that have zero playstyle+. Ive checked on FUT.GG and Futbin and cant seem to filter this

On fut gg click filter, scroll all the way down to play styles. Expand that menu and scroll down again. Should be able to put 0 in both boxes for “has PS+”


Just to be clear, cards that you currently cant use. Have the RM postion? I dont quite understand?....

They fucked up the evo. It’s RW only. They are releasing the same evo for RM. Garnacho has RM but not RW. So right now he can’t go in but will be good for the new one.
