I have a random evo Mukiele. Fuck knows what I did there :D He was fun for a bit but I always forget he exists.
I am torn between Park and Berba into that evo. I need to see if they put Park into packs (and I can pack him) before making that call.
And I packed a dupe Baresi last night but not sure where to put him. Feels like massive overkill with the SBCs right now. I even ended up doing Vitinha. Nothing expiring in the next 4 days so might just hold fire until tomorrows best of.
I have that 88 Di Natale card, but I can't really see what's so good about this Evo? 4/4 with shit strength and aggression.

Hmmm.
Also, still no idea who to do in the Heroes of Countdown/Duos
Theres a few chinese players that go in there looking nuts.
We seem to getting all of the Heroes as SBC/Pack release, so I'd hazard a guess you'll be seeing them in this next release, or at least one of them.Quote:

FUCK SKILLER TWATS.
I have Berba already. Which is making waiting harder.Quote:

Marchisio is an okay upgrade there, but very snide of EA to have TOTS out of packs for weeks, include them as criteria for all big SBCs and now tell you that you need a squad full.
I also took an all pink team into Rivals in order to test players and have fun. Kaka came along on the bench too. Team consisted of Courtois, James, Kalulu, Fabinho, Udogie, Kessie, Modric, Diani, Fekir, Sancho and Auba. Today I put in RLC for Modric(I already know he's great), moved Fabs into CDM to try him there and swapped Marquez for Kessie. Sorloth and Kaka came off the bench a lot.
Players I liked: Courtois. Probably best keeper not named Iker. Fabinho(at CB only). Something about him at CB just works better. Much less effective at CDM for me. Fekir. Just feels legit, 5* wf and brings set pieces to the team. Sancho. Elite dribbling, though shooting very inconsistent. Feels like he doesn't hit the ball hard.
Meh: James, Kalulu, Udogie, Marquez. These I found to all be decent, without being spectacular. Nothing wrong per se, but could be better still. James, I'd tempted to give a run in the main team to see again. Kessie also goes here. Great stats, but a CDM at this stage has to have either intercept+ or anticipate+, if not both. This let him down. Auba, again just doesnt specialise in one thing at all.
Bad: Sorloth. Just can not get on. Just not my style. RLC, feels so so slow. A look at the card closer shows 84 acceleration which may explain this, but he has quick step+
Kaka seems a good card but one I'm not sure where to use. He's probably more of a striker with the current game. Dribbling is good too and he gets these contextual touches that other cards don't seem to. Whether thats a Kaka thing or a standard press proven thing I dont know.
The team played okay, but in Elite Div against meta every game(did face one guy doing the same thing), it mostly lost. I've got a few new cards in to try now so most of this lot are off to gather dust, but I'm still trying and failing to get a Ramires/Sneijder/Baresi/Stoi/Ribery. All of the non-Baresi ones looks fun so I want.
Sancho has 84 shot power without chem style. It’s always his letdown. Managed to snipe two of him at 50k earlier and sold one for 59k. Trying to trigger the dupe gods but no luck.
I have picked up FUTTIES Marquez, FUTTIES Ramires, TOTS Foden and TOTY Essien. Along with a dupe Eusebio. Did the icon packs and ended up with Golazo Cole and GOTG Hernandez. I would have been happy with GOTG Cole tbf.
I do try all new cards on basic first tbf, then add a playstyle later so that may be why. Got a dupe Ole and Courtois in the same set of picks before but nothing pink since until finally getting a Baresi from my last exchange.
I have now cleared out almost all of the SBCs that reward a pick or player. The only one left is Vitinha. If I'm on through the day tomorrow I will probably get him done as I've still the rivals rewards and the packs from a likely new cup from 6pm. He does look good, just maybe very samey to Modric? I'm also hoping we can start kicking these SBCs up to 97+ ratings now.
As wide winger, she is insane. Given her weight, height and build. She can burst down the line and whipp that cross. If she losses the ball, instantly can win it back becuase of quick step and the defensive stats.

She looks good but just doesnt interest me.
I did his SBC the other day but havent tried him. Just working through them all in order of expiration since its going to be easy to do it all now.Quote:

Getting players, who suit your play style is a must. Especially with the plus play styles.
Indeed. This version at least has put maybe too much emphasis on the PS+. For example now winning a tackle with TOTY Rodri, is significantly harder than with the TOTS variant because the latter has Anticipate+. Even though the stats are only real +1s difference.
Managed three different dupe 95 Kalulu today. Each time I saw the pink card my hopes went up before seeing his face once more. Great fodder though and as such Vitinha is done.
I may do a few more PPs but I'm sure I'll be getting close to a soft ban again soon so it might be best to just wait til post 6pm now.
:cool:Quote:

I advise doing this all the way through. It's so much better than getting stuck in whatever is meta or not. Perfect example above. The pros/meta rats would not touch that Bompastor card because they have to have their LB staying back and defending, according to their 4-3-2-1 which cannot change. However Sincere loves it and is getting loads out of it.Quote:

Dybala and Butra coming as SBCs apparently.
Pele in packs.
I got torched this week by a pink Butra. Guy changed direction like a fly.
New Bompastor in packs
Butra is 24 squads :lol:
Cantona got a card, rip my evo
They're so out of touch.
Watch the 81+ PP come back unchanged on Monday as well.
Is there a list anywhere of what's in packs?

Cheers Danny. These servers are garbage.
Yeah its tragic. I opened some PP's (a few MYM but nothing to write home about) and gave up.
Moved to fut gg to play with evos
Yeah, I'm out too. I can open one PP before it dies and I have to log out and log in again. Absolute shit show.
Why there isnt a QR code that you fan scan in game, that lets you see the exact cards in pack.
It will probably be wrong anyway knowing EA
I have just a out waded through those servers to Epackulated. No Futties to speak of but a lot in the 89-92 range. 92 Lucio in three straight packs, with two of those being exchanges he went into and came back out of.
The last 51 player exchange gave me over 20 dupes so I've probably got 30+ PPs in the club ready for when the servers work.
I'll be having that Dybala. He being 4 cheaper squads with Butra 24 is lol.
I'll go have a look and see about a few Evos too.
42 PPs was the winning number. Though I got SBC banned as I hit enter on the 42nd. I shall open shortly but then I'll actually have to play the game... Gasp.
Thought I had packed Lewa, it was his UCL card. Fuck Sake.
Ledley King was the reason for the flare.
Just managed to snipe a Di Natale, so it's between him and Lucio for the heroes upgrade.
Back on and TOTY Frimpong from an 82+ pick. He's a bit crap really and I think next year might be the first year I don't bother saving packs for TOTY. The playstyles power curve has made them nowhere near as good as they used to be.
I couldn't get on with the TOTS version much too. I know what you mean though. It wouldn't surprise me if we get 5 PS+ as the last hurrah this year.
In the past a TOTY would see you too the end of the year. That doesn't keep you opening packs though.
Packed Abedi Pele. His UCL Hero. Why the fuck do they have alternate cards in packsQuote:

Right, given I already had a team I was perfectly happy with I think the only way I'm going to really enjoy the Futties grind is with a limited time go on a new account.
In we go.
I've just noticed we have this batch for 2 weeks. I'd love to know why there are multiple versions of the same player again though.
Managed to get the SBCs rolling again on old gen and Dybala is ticked off quite easily. Back to the situation of almost nowhere to put fodder now though, unless you want an Icon. Abiliy seems pointless as with that set of workrates and playstyles, I'm not sure what she's supposed to be?
Riquelme probably has the best card he's ever had, but will I ever use it? As for Butra, it's only really 18 proper squads, but I can't help but feel that's a lot of time and effort for someone who I could end up dropping in a few days.
Just packed Futties Benzema from an 89 exchange pack. Only an hour in, not a game played in sight and I'm already well on the way to a super team. :D
The 82+pp into the 89 exchange circular reference might be the greatest thing they've ever done upgrade SBC wise in this.
In the space of 3 minutes. Cunt of a co worker, packed Messi, C.Ronaldo and Guilt from 82+ picks
Wtf. Which Ronaldo is in packs?
Maguire getting a futties apparently
TOTY.Quote:

I ended up SBC banned yesterday because it just keeps giving.
Fuck sake. I was thinking CR7, not R9.Quote:

They have since given him a new card and that one is 36k as it’s in this batch :lol:
Actually it's the SBC one that we have in this batch. I've already pulled it and I have the GOTG one which is better. Their pricing is so stupid. They keep doing it too. Bompastor another one. Her SBC is like 230k yet she has a new better card out which is under 100k.
Same pricing issue with Butra and Dybala. Yes Dybala doesn't get the chem boost, but both are CF types that are 5/5* and both are very similar in quality. Yet Butra is 1.5m ish more.
Yeah that’s what I meant but reading it back I phrased it terribly. Spotted it looking through the “collection book” on Fut gg.
Speaking of Bompastor.
Got her Futties from a PP.
Apparently if you go into rivals and score 3 own goals it kicks you (normal) but you get the games played still (unexpected). Making the large games played unlocks for futties easier
Not sure if the games xp still counts.
Oh and RVP coming too.
