Although looking at it that doesn't work for shit.
So two unusable ones really.

Although looking at it that doesn't work for shit.
So two unusable ones really.
The crash right now
1 million gets you a 192 superteam.
Kolarov who was rolled to Debuchy.
Fat load of meh.
What the fuck is TOTS Savic all about? You'd tell them to calm down a bit if that card was a prime Icon, never mind some twonk from Lazio coming off a good season.
He has probably been the best player in the league and has had 4IFs.
I tried out TOTS max at left back and I didn't like him. His medium offensive work rate effects him. Putting the finishing touches on my team now. Will post the completed team in next few days.
The market right now has imploded. TOTY Kante is 700k.
Get Wendell, he's brilliant.
Beat MSDossary's team and with 5-0, 6-2, 6-0 and 5-0 wins on Legendary I've hit 12,837 points and am in the top 100 on Xbox Squad Battles currently - somewhere between 21-50, but oddly I can't see myself in the top 100 list.
Found me - 28th in the World.
Honestly, I'm not seeing any drop off in quality from TOTY Marcelo.
Wendell is such an all round beast.
Did the Serie A SBC first. Got Skriniar. Decent rating but useless to me.
Resubmitted him into the French one and got a bit better.
https://i.gyazo.com/b444578dda815652...4eddc02ba5.jpg
I just opened a 'Ligue 1 Premium Players Pack' and pulled 2 TOTS and 1 TOTW.
90 Rami, 92 Toko-Ekambi and 84 Areola.
Given the market is a shambles right now. There have been two SBC realsed so far based on the event, but they have been awful. I suspect they will realse more with more difficulty requirements and hopefully based on the dutch players. The event ends on June 3. Im taking the small profit i can get on promes 83 now. Bought for 1.2k and selling for 1.7k.
World Cup mode starts today also
The market has well and truly crashed.
Get him if you want to try him. He'll be insane. Just make sure you use his left foot.
Market has imploded. Prime Zanetti is 140k to do. It's cheaper to do his SBC and then use him as an Icon towards another one than to buy one outright. 85 rated cards for 5k and below.
Mental.
A couple of weeks worth a patience on the TOTS and I would have been able to get so much more.
There's very few cards left over 1 million now.
Gold Ronaldo has dropped below 400k too. He was 800k 2 weeks ago.
Is WC mode actually any good, let alone good enough to cause the mother of all crashes?
I have played a few games and I'm not going to be rushing back to play it (the UT version that is). I don't think there's anything wrong with it but having spent so much time on my normal FUT team I don't see any reason to move across.
It seems as if the pack weight is incredibly high. I had Aguero, Firmino, Pogba and David Silva all in my first team. There is an icon SBC which requires a 79 rated team and 50 chemistry.
I will play through a few single player tournaments (offline) but that will be about it for me.
Did todays guaranteed SBCs. Put Giovinco in, got Chiesa from the Serie A, then put him into the Ligue 1 and got Veratti.
Increased the rating, but not too sure how usable he'll be considering the top players are worth about 50p.
I cant see world cup mode lasting that long at all
117k for Zanetti now.
Got Dybala from my starter pack. Guessing that's good?
The font is absolutely gopping.
I don't know if this is a 4k 'feature', but the frame rate in offline draft is appalling.
Now 94k for Zanetti.
Prime Ronaldo can be done for 1.3m
I only bought the game the other day due to the massive price drop. Figured it was too late to bother with a normal Ultimate Team, but I would have liked to try the World Cup one (I haven't owned a FIFA since FUT has been a thing, I don't think)... but no, it doesn't want to connect. Oh well.
The update has completely fucked normal ultimate team. Team Names don't display properly and the frame rate has developed lung cancer.
These prices are mad.
I legitimately do not know what to do with my coins/team.
Just bought a clean Messi for 116k.
And I'm in the same boat as you Danny. It's all a bit odd.
And Paul Pogba for 27k and De Gea for 47k.
I can get games in WC mode :drool:
After grabbing TOTS Roussilon from the MMs, I ploughed in 100,000k coins and a tenner (first money spent since FUTMAS now I think), and pulled a very nice haul.
Neymar, 2 x Courtois, Godin, Mbappe, Rakitic, Paulinho, Sterling, Martial, Alba and David Luiz have dropped already. I'll try for two squads I think, although it's annoying I'll have to manually switch in and out as there's no option to create extra squads.
I'll see what the upgrades have to offer once I've worked out the confederations I'm concentrating on.
In the WC mode I keep buying premium packs and getting redeemable gold packs. I'm up to like ten packs without spending a single coin. :harold:
So I can keep buying packs indefinitely? Doesn't that beat the purpose of the whole thing?
Still haven't pulled a single good player, mind. :moop:
"Issues with the store" it is telling me now.
Now I also have 10+ free packs in my regular Ultimate Team. How is that by design?
I think they're onto it now, since I cannot buy packs anymore. Wish I had gotten into it earlier.
For every pack you open in World Cup mode you get the equivalent pack to open in normal ultimate team.
I tried to buy someone in regular UT for 1k and they said I didn't have enough funds, even though I show as having ~60k. I hope the cunts didn't take all my coins.
Loaded it up for shits and giggles and opened a couple of packs. Salah, Gorezka and KDB in the first few packs to go with Pepe and Jesus in my base squad.
Fucking Klose as my icon.
My game is still unplayable. I appear to be the only person on the internet with that problem.
Bought a clean Alan Shearer for 187k as well. Down to 330k of coins and that's me done until they fix the playing side on XB1X/4K tv's (whichever of those is causing the issue).
All my coins are gone. Played, EA.
The market crash being this severe has come as a slight shock. I mean, Ronaldo has dropped another 100k since I posted before.
What this has done though is fucked my SBC for profit method. I packed De Bruyne in my last one maybe 5pm or so, he sold for 33 and is now at 24k. Those cards that sold for 2-3k a pop that propped the whole method up, wont sell now.
I just dont know what to do with my coins.
Best pulls have been Icardi, Kompany and Casemiro.
I did get Ronaldinho from the Icon SBC thing though.
Finished off Zanetti at a cost to me of 50k.
Still havent packed a TOTS card. Seems like prices are on the up again. The price of Zanetti is back up to 105k.
Even still, the fact I just used Alaba, Vidal and Boateng in an SBC and then managed to buy them back still for a combined 15k coins is stupid. I've made a nice team out of it and will probably discard all my club stored players to pay for 1 or two more.
There's no point in doing almost any of the SBC leagues now.
I think ive settled on my end game team now but can't see myself playing for much longer. Favourite players are Wendell and Gnabry who are both superb. Lewa does not feel much different from his gold card, except his strength which is a little bit better. MOTM muller is also a really good card. I brought in Ter Stegen and regret not using him early. He is amazing. He has the save with feet abililty but he also comes for crosses so whenever my opponent has a corner, ive already got triangle held to bring him out. Also works well when they are clean through on goal and the player takes a heavy touch. Stegen comes flying out of goal.
Also have TOTS Kimmich, FUTBDAY Alaba and a few other random cards that didnt make the list.
I may as well do an icon. Not sure which one though. Any suggestions?
https://i.imgur.com/b2igPPK.png
This is my end game team.
Considering I've been playing since about the last week of April, I think I've done bloody well.
https://i.gyazo.com/e763acf784ddba08...6b5d5d7209.png
Just won my biggest win on legendary. 15-0 against a bronze team.
I built the team above and it works okay. Just HAMES doesn't suit me. His left foot is a rocket though. Veratti is also too small, slow and weak for this stage of the game.
I could spunk my remaining 100k on the birthday Reus. Or get in a cheaper option and bring in a french/PSG player to replace Veratti. Rabiot seems a decent option.
Rabiot is really great. I'd give Aouar a serious look too, I'll be buying him next time I'm online.
Aouar is the one I was looking at actually.
It's basically down to the following choices.
Buy SIF 93 Lewandowski or FUT Birthday Reus. Sub on TOTS Keita.
Buy TOTS Gnabry and TOTS Auoar/Rabiot.
Complete the SBC for Crespo or Larsson. Currently both are 150k, which is more than I have, but you obviously get packs back. A TOTS card could help pay some of that difference.
I currently lean towards the latter options.
I'm thinking of doing another ST icon card.
I've got like 200k and Larsson who I could put into an SBC. No idea which one to do though.
None of them are really worth it, anything you could sell to get into Ronaldo money?
Possibly just through sheer volume of shit in my club.
Henry might be plausible too though.
300k between them but thats purely based on the icons needed, which can be SBC'd for less at this point.
https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/1953468
I think that my team is done now. Got Fernandinho for 269k, was like 600 not long ago. Probably 150 next week with how the market is now.
This is £16 on PSN, so I think I'm going to get it.
Debuchy to Rabiot.
Rabiot to Allan.
I might just buy Son instead and bring him off the bench rather than bringing in a different Icon.
i had around 99k and $20 to drop into my WC squad
My attack right now is
Suarez
Maradona(icon sbc) Messi
Isco De Bruyne Kante Salah
i'm running 3 at the back just trying to fit them all in smh.
The duplicates bit is quite annoying though. i've packed De Bruyne 3 times. Lloris twice. I need CB's you fucks.
Anyways, had a lot more luck the first night it started with packs. I did the "swap upgrade" for 3-player packs and, low and behold, out of the 3 players I got the KDB/HL duplicates and a 76 rated player from Poland or something. :arry:
I just wanna pack Neymar or Cristiano but feel like I'm being greedy since I got Maradona and Messi lol
So is anyone investing at this point? Prices bottomed out the other day and I picked up a lot of 84, 85's and 86's. Probably 60+ across that range. Ultimate TOTS is coming so either I make money of pile into that
I bought a few but I just can't be arsed now.
Late to the party but here nonetheless. Got Vagner Love in my starter pack, which was a bit duff considering I picked Brazil assuming I’d get Firmino. Only saving grace was being able to use the Barcelona home kit. Game forced me to buy a player so I’ve ended up with alberto moreno at left back. So far I’ve played two lost two in offline seasons, and it’s only a matter of time before I switch the type of defending because tapping square to tackle just isn’t happening.
Will orobably sack it off soon anyway to hunt a few of the easy trophies, and then start a World Cup team.
EDIT: having read more about it, Pro Club Seasons is the mode for me (and mike) :cool:
I'm playing The Journey after playing it on '17 on PC. I was a fan of Alex Hunter until he's proper pissed about wanting to leave Liverpool. Knew I should have picked him a team I don't like.
Same. Its more work than im prepared to do at this point even though i know TOTS cards are less than 30k now with UTOTS out today(?), you could probaly make a few thousand per card in the hype.
ProClubs is fun. I've yet to get past division 2.
Ultimate TOTS is here.
As is this on the 4th:
UTOTS is live right now?
In packs apparently with SBC’s Sun and Tues
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DenvcaIVAAAjugY.jpg:large
Annoyingly I've been unable to use the Web/Companion app this year.
I'm using the email that it has me down at in the game menus, but it tells me that it looks like I haven't set up a club yet.
A bit annoying as you can get things for watching their twitch broadcasts. But your accounts have to be linked.
Pulled Maradona and Lineker from 7500 packs, one from selling up some more guff and the other from reaching the knockout stage of the WC. Into the QF's with this now, all players on 10 chem except Neymar (8, rises to 9 in 2 games with loyalty) and Maradona (5, doesn't need it!)
Gk Ter Stegen (87, WAL)
CB Rudiger (83, ANC)
CB Koscielny (85, ANC)
RB Pisczek (84, SHA)
LB Alba (85, ANC)
CM Tolisso (83, ANC)
CM Paulinho (87, ENG)
CM Maradona (97, SEN)
LF Neymar (93, HWK)
RF Hernandez (90, HWK)
ST Lineker (92, HUN)
Once I've added someone of Kante quality in the midfield, along with a decent centre half and right back, I've probably only got more Icons to look forward to.
Annoyingly, I've got a shitload of great strikers but few wingers (who seem few in the mode actually with the like of Hazard and Mbappe being St/Cfs). I've pulled Werner, Jesus, Mbappe, Griezmann, Cavani...
Yeah. It's quite annoying.
Played some divisions tonight. Now up to Div 4, so starting to get good matches against people.
I really like the team, but maybe not Gnabry. My stats with him say he scores a goal per game, but I remember him missing a few chances I'd really expect a card like his to score.
Auoar was very good though. Especially considering he was about 30k. He's tall, fast and packs a quality finish. Max is also a pretty good full back. I could also sell all back now for good profit.
I have a few spare TOTS cards. Keita and Veratti are surplus and I won the DKT for Marcelo, who has much better workrates than Ramos, but either of those I would happily trade too.
I also have that 88 Zaha who doesn't see the light of day now.
I'm waiting to see if they do an Ultimate TOTS SBC. They haven't mentioned one, but we shall see. If not, I'd imagine putting a few of those cards into an Icon SBC or two would vastly reduce the cost. I'd just have to work on getting more than the 20k coins I have.
My boy Alex Hunter is off to Atletico Madrid. Lads got no loyalty.
EA have announced that MUT next season will remove player contracts. I really hope they bring that concept over to FIFA.
I'd love to see a chemistry re-work too. Whilst it is satisfying when you get a good hybrid working, it's too necessary now to have Icons to make it all link up for the very best of teams.
They changed it up in the world cup mode, so hopefully there's some change afoot.
I highly doubt they will bring it to FIFA.
There are tonnes of shit that MUT has (effective searches on the transfer market for one) that have yet to make it to FUT.
The ability to search for a specific card, like you can with Icons, also needs to come in.
Hummels. :moop:
Ter Stegen :moop:
I got Harry Kane.
He'll be going back in on Tuesday as I'm not using him in place of my TOTY version.
Actually, Hummels might be one to keep, replacing Boateng in the first team.
Put in Veratti and Keita who are both pretty useless, especially the former.
Got HAMES Rodriguez back. I had just bought 92 Lewandowski to play as striker, so I'll now try and sell him and am using HAMES up front. He becomes the CAM in a 4-1-2-1-2, should I switch to it.
Tots Promes is awesome.
That 92 Lewandowski I bought isn't shifting. I got him for 55k, which is a bargain. He's now going for about 80k, but no one seems to be buying.
Once he goes, I'll have over 110k with no real clear way to improve the team. The only 2 non-special cards in the team, Boateng and Vidal, have special versions I can afford, but they don't seem to be massive upgrades over what I have.
I don't see a whole lot else I can do, however.
I forgot TOTS Ter Stegen exists so I got him instead. 100k left in the kitty.
Looking forward to the SBC on Tuesday again. There are only 2 players in it that wouldn't be good pulls for me and those are Immobile and Koulibaly. Duplicate Untradeable Ramos or James wouldn't be great, but they'd go right into an SBC.
I did some more Divisions grinding and I'm now in Div 2. I just lost my first game in seasons too.
I'll be grinding to De Ligt tonight and tomorrow. They've upped your wins allowed to 2, so you could do it all in one day. I'm not 100% on if I'll use him, but I have an idea of how to fit him in.
I've been playing online seasons all weekend. Online is all about getting it to the front men as fast as possible, playing the one-two between the three attacking players. It's really annoying and so difficult to stop. If the attackers didnt react so well to the offside trap, it would be a viable tactic but it does not work that well.
My favourite card this FIFA has been the OTW James. It was so good i wasn't even interested in picking up his TOTS version. I packed him and played with him and it's on another level with a marksmen card. His shooting and passing is unreal.
A Win against the featured team, followed by 6-0, 5-1, 4-0 and 8-0 wins on Legendary gave me 12,704 points and put me 24th in the World for Squad Battles at the moment.
Another goal in the 4-0 and not conceding in the 5-1 would have put me over 13k and into the top 10.
Given player prices at the moment, the 65k of coins for finishing in the top 100 is massive - If only I could play a full week.
Just fucking lovely. 3-0 up in SB and then lose connection. Now it's 0-3 loss and 0 points.
won my first online WC and packed Pogba in one of the premium packs :drool:
Here is my WC team:
https://i.imgur.com/fwA9trW.jpg
Lozano and Mbappe are great off the bench too.
Didn't realise this... Could be good with my Pogba and Neymar in particular...
Team as of now, having pulled Moore and Blanc in packs I grabbed selling off the last of my standard mode reserves, only Maradona on <10 chem...Quote:

Pogba and Hernandez?
I pulled Ronaldo earlier :drool:
Seems to be. Dani Alves is fucking rocking it for me.
Aouar isn't nearly as good as I expected, but I still have Rabiot so all is well. Changed things up a bit and brought in TOTGS Mbappe for peanuts and he's dynamite.
Can’t say I appreciated Aouar much either. He was perfectly fine but a big drop off from the likes of IF Goretzka, TOTY Modric and probably even Futmas Herrera.
Koulibaly.
Not disastrous, as I still have TotS Allan, and I guess I could replace my German trio with those two and Florenzi to free up a decent slug of coins, but it'd weaken the side so I'm not really sure I want to.
I put in untradeable Kane and Allan.
Got back Walker who I really wanted.
Other than one of the top 9 guys (Ronaldo to De Gea) because of how good they are he's the one I wanted the most. He's the best fit in my team and I was really thinking about buying him anyway.
Got rid of Malcom and Alba and got Walker. Actually really pleased with that.
He seemed to flit in and out of games, where Rabiot will completely dominate them. Got Koulibaly on my first run at the SBC, put him back in along with Aouar for the second go and wound up with Ter Stegen. Probably the only player on it of less use to me than Koulibaly.
Trying to decide if I should pop James or Saul into the SBC. It will probably be the former as the latter is used in my fitness side.
Won 3 of the DKTs required tonight. Need to finish that off as that De Ligt will go straight into that fitness side.
Put Partey and Marcelo(CB) in and got Ter Stegen back. That's not the worst result there's ever been as it allows me to sell back my tradeable version.
I've also taken my team into the DKT and won 6 games on the bounce. Gameplay was very smooth and I was destroying people. De Ligt is mine, but now I've packed Ter Stegen it's going to be hard to accommodate him.
Still, I now have 150k and I'm not sure where to put it. TOTS Lewandowski sits at 250k currently, so some work would be needed to reach him. Beyond that I'm not too sure.
Knocked this together. It's about 200k more than I have, but it's something to aim towards.
https://i.gyazo.com/b59afc287011391e...04bb2d7d6c.png
It's not ideal, but it'd switch to a 4-2-3-1 in game, Fekir as the CAM, Griezmann up front, Doesn't leave me with great options at CDM. I'd need to bring in a French Icon to link it all up. Looks pretty much perfect going forward though.
I've done 15/20 towards Griezmann with a net spend of about 10k.
I only have the non-profitable teams left now. It'll pretty much be all of the coins I have to do it, but then you do get 22k back. I'll be doing them tonight, as after Ultimate TOTS ends, packs will be next to worthless. The slim, slim chance of a blue pull is enough to push it through tonight.
I'm completely bored of the normal mode in this now and I ruined the World Cup mode far too early by spending 300k of coins on packs.
Only thing left to do is go for the grind in a new start of World Cup mode on my other account.
No coins, all games on Legendary or online. :drool:
Eden Hazard, David de Gea, David Silva and Di Maria in my starter pack. FFS.
Deleted club, start again.
Mbappe this time. I give up. At least I've never really used him much in any FIFA.
Kimmich and Deulofeu, stalwarts from regular FUT, but not irreplaceable. That'll do.
Picked up Neymar and I am looking to throw him in a team with a few Brazilians and a few Dutchies over the next week or so. Prices are picking back up on the normal mode. I can almost double my money on PTG Sterling but I will probably wait until he hopefully does something at the WC
2 games for Griezmann in the DKT, 7 goals. Him and Son are by far the most fun cards I've used on this.
Ive been playing the DKT for the past week. Haven't managed to win it yet but ive got the final 3 times and lost :cab: Whenever I come across a guy who is good, i lose 100% of the time. If the game is competative, i edge out my opponenet. I either steamroll my opponenet or lose clearly
Can you not buy/sell players on the World Cup FUT?
Nope. All untradeable.
Did a couple of the tradeable SBC. Hernandez the first time, threw him back in and got Maradona the second time
Just played through the rest of Division 2 and made it to Division 1. I've only lost 1 game along the way but there was a definite step up in quality in some of the opponents.
Whilst I was playing the weekend league was extended too, so I may actually give it a crack. There's only 1 player left until my team is done anyway and unless some SBCs come back in regular FUT I doubt I'll play much beyond June.
No but you get a pack for each game you play, then more for how far you go in the tournament. Also for every pack you buy in WC mode you get the same value pack in regular FUT.
Did the 79 rated SBC for an icon on my new account. Got Puyol. How dull is that?
Fucking 94 Ronaldo, first pull. :chief:
It's amazing, I chucked two to three hundred thousand coins into this account and have a horrible (but highly rated) assortment of players.
Until the above I could genuinely build a more enjoyable team on the other account that I spent 5 minutes on.
Have they changed the gameplay with that patch? Feels like wading through treacle now.
Got 91 Ronaldinho who I've already got, put him back in and got 91 Blanc.
First game on the weekend league this year, finished 8-4 to me. It feels 100mph all game. Mental.
TOTS Eriksen is just silly. I reckon he's played ten games for me and he's yet to give the ball away. Does everything perfectly, and for some reason seems sturdy as fuck on the ball. Him playing in Son on one side and Rabiot playing in Mbappe on the other is filthy. I genuinely don't even need a striker at this point.
I tried the world cup mode and I just didn't like it. I came straight back to FUT. I imagine all the elite players are playing world cup or have stopped playing altogether. I'm into elite one on SB having missed all games this from tuesday and wednesday.
Also the bronze teams in SB are a lot more common. I'm getting two bronze teams now every other refresh.
5-0 in the WL and then up 6-4 in the 87th minute and my internet spikes me out. I came back from 2-0 down in that game too.
This feels like the best team I've ever used. Its only weakness is the CDM position. But the front 4 score me goals all by themselves. They're stupid.
What's the team, Fox? The one you posted up thread doesn't involve a CDM so presumably it's not that one.
It is the team above, but the second the game starts I switch it to the following:
https://i.gyazo.com/aa0ac4c06193ab0a...d4d2578c25.png
I'm still waiting to put Fekir in(up to 130k in the bank now).
I wouldn't bother with Fekir. I tried him out and he was utter garbage. I got along pretty well with his 87 IF as a midfielder in an earlier version of my team, but I tried the TOTS as a striker and his medium attacking work rate just killed every attack before it got going.
If it's just a chemistry issue you'd genuinely be better off getting Rabiot in there and swapping for Griezmann in game.
Rodriguez has the same workrates as Fekir and I get on quite well with him, though I like my CAM to stay forward.
I contacted EA live chat about the Volland card. As I don't have it and it looks like a pretty beast left footed target man. I asked EA to just give me the card. They told me to go fuck myself.
Does no-one else think all this "moving strikers into midfield" stuff kinda ruins it a bit? It's nice to be able to put someone from say ST -> CAM, but moving them all the way back to CDM is weird. I feel like there should be something like only being able to move them back one "slot" from their original starting position would make sense.
Players should have a set list of positions, like in career, and only be able to play in them.
Changing players and formation in game should have the same effect as it does pre-game.
Sometimes I swear the game is designed for you to lose a match. Just lost to 79 all Portugese league team.
All the League/Icon SBCs are bottoming out in price again. Now is the time if you want to do one and still get use out of the player.
I bought Fekir yesterday to finish my team off for 150k. He's now sat at 220k due to the 1 nation requirement this week.
Do I cash in now or wait a little?
Some schmuck opened packs for 3800£. Not one icon or 91 above rated player. EA are robbing us.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...ct_3800_later/
Looks like I missed my chance there, he's down to 180k now. Still in profit, but not amazingly so.
Having tried him out, he's a smaller but faster version of HAMES. Both have deadly left feet. However both leave a little to be required on their right.
I now have a choice. I can keep as is and build the coins back up, or I could essentially sell TOTS Fekir, then buy Neymar, TOTS Falcao and TOTS Rabiot. Everything would still link up but it would solve a small issue.
Bailey has the occasional sitter miss in him. Neymar has better finishing and composure, whilst also bringing a 5* weak foot. Rabiot would be an upgrade on Tolisso and Falcao is a pure poacher, though I'm not sure how I'd cope with him down on pace. He does look like a discount Suarez though which interests me.
Under the assumption the main game is basically dead I've whacked TotS Goretzka (for 445k) and TotS Kimmich (245k) onto the transfer list and replaced with Allan and Koulibaly from the TotS SBC's. So if it isn't dead, it won't matter too much.
When those two sell I'll have enough coins to open 100 World Cup premium packs and I'll save the free FUT packs should anything else interesting happen in the main game.
Brought in TOTS Kane last night to essentially complete my team on this version, the unlikely accumulation of several hundred thousand coins to buy TOTS Azpilicueta aside. He's a bit silly isn't he? Fuck knows what that TOTY thing Mahow has must be like.
The TOTY Kane is probably the best player I've used on any version. He's genuinely brilliant.
I played through 16 games of the weekend league. Couldn't manage any more due to Internet issues. I won 14, got disconnected from 1 while 6-4 up and lost 1 deservedly. I'd only have needed to go slightly better than win one, lose one, over the remainder of the games to hit Elite.
Still, Silver 1 is pretty good as it gets me 20k and 2 decent packs.
Falcao is deadly around the box. The lack of pace is however a little noticeable. Neymar is noticeably slower, but then you can feel a more assured finish. Rabiot is just a shade too slow for my style. Very strong though.
What the fuck were they smoking when they decided England - Tunisia MM a 82 rated squad?
Given how deep we are into the game, those new SBC cards should be super high.
The highlights of the new SBCs:

FUTBIN reckons you need 150k for Vidals group of SBCs, with 200k for Rashfords group. I don't think any of the smaller players look up to much of yet.
They really should have put Vidal at 80 speed so he's in 'THE CLUB'.
Rashford looks like he'd be a brilliant super sub.
200k for that card at this stage of the game seems a little crazy.
are they dynamic images?
Really like the idea behind those sbc's, but it's too late in the day and they're mostly not good enough.
Its a good idea. I would like something similar but you don't actually have to keep and submit the card. Like a sticker album. You get a card, and it goes into the sticker album. You have to get specific cards in order to get a prize.
My time in Div 1 did not go as well as hoped. I needed 1 point to stay up with 2 games remaining. Ended up getting disconnected from both. Just missed out on Div 2 promotion again too.
I had switched up the team to this:
https://i.gyazo.com/38184bea6940947b...3c699383b7.png
Unfortunately it doesn't quite work. Neymar has a great finish but isn't physically there. Keita isn't amazing for this stage of the game either. I've sold back up, have the right side of my team still and have 260k before my rewards come in tonight.
Not sure where to go with it. But things I've learned from Div 1 are; De Gea is god. He saves EVERYTHING. Any form of Striker Ronaldo(either one) are unstoppable. Prime Gullit is the best player on the game.
MUT does something similar to this.
I guess league SBCs are our version of this.
Am I going insane or is UT on the World Cup the most arcade, free scoring shitfest ever created? There’s no point in defenders nor goalkeepers.
I've got 2 ideas. First one is the team I've rocked up. Volland would come off for Sonaldo and it'd turn into a 4-2-3-1.
https://i.gyazo.com/d61c4175ee2346a0...3a94441f83.png
The other option is simply to rebuild my old team, but buy Ronaldo to bring straight on.
This FIFA has been designed all about attack. If you know what you are doing, the better attackers in the game are just too quick for the defenders. The low driven shot is still too good for almost all goalkeepers too.
They've also ruined it by making it so you can pretty much have a full Icon team if your luck is in.
I went with IF Cyprien over Rabiot for pace reasons and he was surprisingly good. Saul was decent, but I can't say I notice much difference between him or a standard Vidal. For over 100k coins more, I don't think it's justified keeping him. Gaya is a similar story. I don't see him being 40k coins better than standard Jordi Alba.
I also remain unconvinced on Ter Stegen. Given the current team I can easily plug De Gea in and test the theory.
Now I've got a decent internet connection I can actually play FUT :groove:
Started off with a collection of goatherders and am now just ticking through some league matches.
Have any of the World Cup players been upgraded yet?
Yeah Ronaldo is up to a 96 for me
They only seem to be updating 1 per match though, which is a shame.
I was hoping to have a good run at Div 1, but I wont be winning it any time soon. I can win 4, maybe 5 in each attempt. It's the teams packed with the meta Icons I can't deal with.
We're all about similar ability, so having a Gullit or R9 makes all the difference.
Sold my Sterling to fund Lukaku (both TOTS) and have found Lukaku to be a bag of shit. 10 games and 2 goals, 1 assist. Sterling had averaged both a goal and an assist in 40 games.
https://www.futhead.com/18/players/48481/mohamed-salah/
or
https://www.futhead.com/18/players/5...heem-sterling/
Who do we reckon? I have played with Sterling before and enjoyed him.
I'd say Sterling. Salah never seems as fast when I've played against him, but even so that 2* weak foot is reason enough for me not to use him.
I went for the 91 Aubameyang in the and he has proved to be lethal in front of goal. 15 goals from 9 games.
Glad he has proved to be a success because he has gone from the 180,000 I paid to 150,000 in 5-6 hours.
https://www.futhead.com/18/squads/3394455/
Ronaldo in WC mode is broken. I think i have something like 45 goals in 15 games with him.
Got Ronaldinho in an icon pack to I have them two upfront with KDB in behind.
Has Fifa 19 really changed how shooting works? I hear it works like active reload in this one, that sounds like such a huge change I might actually pick it up.
Apparently it's only for trickier shots. Like for example now you have the low driven shot being OP. So long as you tap B or Circle again before the power bar fills up, you're getting the same shot every time.
Now you'll have to time the 2nd press, otherwise it'll scuff or slice the shot, or balloon it over.
It's also rightly going to make the scorpion kick goals, bicycle kicks etc, a rare thing. Right now it's just LT + B with the ball being in the right place and you can press it whenever. Now you'll actually have to time it.
They seemed to go a few years back with the idea that fancy shit should be easy to do. I much prefer it being circumstantial. I want the AI to be smarter, or at least more fun to play against.
He is referring to the XP points (not the weekly objectives) - https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIeMiNtBMH4/maxresdefault.jpg
You can use your points to purchase a variety of things, one being 'coin bonuses' which for example will provide 1,000 additional coins per match for the next 15 matches you play.
Very handy at this stage of the game.
Just noticed that neither of those don't exist in the Switch version. Explains why I am still shit poor. :moop:
Switched my team up to get Kante in it and now I'm not sure why I didn't do it sooner. He's amazing.
Managed to scrape survival in Div 1 on the final game again, so changed things up, as I said, got Son into the starting team and bought TOTS Mahrez and TOTS Robertson, birthday Sissoko and got POTM Zaha back in.
Found myself 3-0 down in my first game at half time. Made a couple of changes and then fought back. It lead to this goal.
Went on from that to win the game, then the following 7 games on the bounce. It was a crazy run. Last goal now is really to work Ronaldo or Messi into the team somehow.
With them on you'll be getting 1,500 coins a game. You could have about 10-15k after 1 run in divisions. Plenty to pad out the team with.
24K for this, is mad.
https://www.futbin.com//18/squad/5541882
I paid more than that for my first 82 young french forward.
You could replace Rose and Smalling for Telles and Felipe for no chem loss and little cost change.
Bailly gets 6 chem, he was in the “original” but I went for full chem so chucked in Smalling.. Great shout on Jesus
I'm still using Bailly now. He's the perfect FIFA defender. Also links into the best keeper in the game.
Aye, coming to it this late is pretty cool as you can pick up super cheap but great players
https://www.futhead.com/18/squads/3396508/
That would be my PL team for around the 25K mark. Rashford and Jesus together are deadly.
That’s very sound if you like that formation, I much prefer 4-3-2-1 so typically build that way! .I would probably go for Gueye or Wijnaldum over Lallana. Not much of a fan when I tried him.
Moletey forgot i stacked my club with all the PTG cards that were under 15k about a month ago during crash. I have a trade pile of 50+ PTG Martials.. He is up 8k a card. I haven't seen any reports of any PTG promos during the WC.
I now own CR7.
This is the first time in any FIFA I've managed to buy him. He's the only non-Icon/Legend I never managed to use until now. I don't even care if he turns out to be shit. Today is a good day.
This has made me want to go hard at FIFA 19. Icons are the only thing I've never really had, the exception being Zanetti this year. I wouldn't mind changing that.
For a guy who said he wouldn't win Div 1, I've just won it 3 times running, losing only 1 game in that time. 8-0, 7-2-1 and 8-1-0. Fair to say I've stumbled on my recipe for success.
FIFA news today is that the 1 nation Weekend League requirement has been removed. This has come due to people finishing in top 100 on 32 wins and a lack of participation.
They've also announced these cards:
The interesting thing here is that both Isco and Lozano have been increased beyond their TOTS rating. As such the PTG Isco is now extinct. It's well worth keeping an eye on players like Sterling or Firmino now. If they score it may be worth picking that card up.
Would you expect the TOTS Lukaku to drop in price now there is a higher rated version?
Winning division 1 three times is impressive. I have never been past division 2 and yo-yo between 2 and 3.
He should do.
I picked up Sterling the other week for like 30k, get one in Sunday, please!
Winning D1 = completing FIFA
Just pulled Maradona twice in a row from Icon upgrade packs, which initially annoyed me until I realised I can now do Messi's SBC.
I'm getting quite into these SBCs. It's kinda like sticker pack collecting.
I've set my sights on the 87 Rashford which means a squad from about 10 different leagues. Gonna take forever but I love his 79 card so an even better one would be bonkers.
I envy you Raoul, the grind at the start is by far the most enjoyable part.
It's not even the grind, it's the making squads from whatever shit you can afford or pull from the early packs and unexpectedly winding up with a player who winds up being a don. A victory feels better when the winning goal is scored by some no mark from Empoli who came out of a reward pack.
It's much like FM in that way. Before I started exclusively playing youth only games I'd always find winning promotion from the third tier with a load of nuggets far more satisfying than winning the CL fifteen years in on a budget of eleventy billion.
Yeah it's fun. Every 500 coins matters. I know I've gotta play about three games just to get Giroud in.
Kinda reminds me of Fallout too where you start out with vault suit and a pea shooter and get croaked by radroaches :D
I'm currently mildly convinced that Charlie Austin is the best player in the world. Man can do everything. Him and Rashford are the Poundland Ronaldo/Messi :nodd:
I did crack this morning and chuck a tenner in. Got a few decent cards (including Kolarov's 92 TOTS (?) card, which I don't really have any use for).
Is there some recommended place for finding profitable SBCs? I've been looking at FUTBin. Anywhere else?
If you're using a Premiership side you should get Son in as soon as possible. Any version. Relative to price he's comfortably the best player in the game.
That Kolarov card you've pulled will sell for about 100k coins. If you've no use for him punt him and you can build a full side with several in form players for that.
Agreed with John. It’s 100% worth selling. Your best player being your left back is no use and his price should drop even if you did want him later.
Son’s 87 IF is less barely more than 1/3 of the Kolarov price, get him in
I've stuck him up on the market although he's not shifted yet.
Tempted to bash through a bunch of SBCs that I want the rewards for when I've got the cash, and upgrade the team big time.
Sold for 109k :drool:
Time to make it rain.
That Rashford will be a great card to play with. I am hoping to get him eventually, his 79 still scores goals for me even now when I give him a run out.
There is also a new 90 rated Fabregas available via a weekly objective. Assist 7 goals with Spanish players in 7 online wins.
I've started again to keep me going over the summer so I'll be all over that.
Treated myself to an 88 Harry Kane and completed a couple of the challenges on my path to Rashford (got 85 Lallana and some Irish geezer I've never heard of).
Not gonna go bonkers and just spunk all the money straightaway but slowly build up my squad through matches whilst ticking along at the SBCs.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgT41DgU0AI1e_Z.jpg
Some of those cards, fucking hell.
Yeah, EA have nailed this.
It's a shame the World Cup mode happened really.
If anyone fancies donating me lots and lots of coins, that'd be great :p
That David Villa :hubba:
Im on 1001 wins now. Is that a lot? What about you man?
I am roughly on 275 wins, 60 draws and 250 losses.
I seem to be too good for division 3 but not good enough for division 2. I win almost every game in division 3 and lose every game in division 2. Very frustrating, I have been promoted, relegated, promoted, relegated for what seems like 10 seasons on the trot now.
Boom, have you tried bronze benching?
I haven't tried it, I thought I read that it didn't do anything?
I think it's psychological.
I'd much rather have a blue bench ready to come on and fuck people up late on, but that's personal preference.
Ive never bothered with bronze benching. In order to improve, I wanted to be matched up against the best players as often as possible. I can hold my own now in division 1-2
Have you tried FOF Rooney yet @Yev?
I am tempted to sell everything of value to try build this :drool:
https://www.futbin.com//18/squad/5614425
Too late now, but considering getting back into Ultimate Team next year having not played for a few years.
How is it now in terms of free to play? Are the Icons for example even close to obtainable?
I started this in the last week of April. I've played a reasonable amount and done some SBCs. I've spent zero on the game and my squad looks like this:
https://i.gyazo.com/4840b5671b2b321e...95a830eecd.jpg
That is some team. What is your record?
I think I'm 300 wins to about 70-80 losses or so. Won Div 1 a 3 or 4 times and the only time I did FUT Champs I went 14-2.
Put my PS4 on for the first time since coming back from holiday and oh how I've missed De Bruyne and Kane:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktDQRij2wT0

Anyone have this on an XBox? Is it fucked?
I was asked to look at the sister in laws one yesterday as it won't load for them any more. Gets to the screen with Cronaldo and then back to the home screen.
I reset the xbox (keeping apps) and signed in again and did any required system updates but it's still fucked.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-...6580600/page/2
This is the second page of it but post 17 has something different than the usual to try.
Started a career game with Newcastle Utd, 4 minute halfs, on Legendary. Team looks like so:
GK: Dubravka 76
RB: Yedlin 79
CB: Lascelles 78
CB: Mbemba 78
LB: Kenedy 76
CM: Merino 80
CM: Diame 74
CM: Shelvey 79
LF: Atsu 76
SC: Perez 76
RF: Murphy 73
21 games into the season and we sit 7th with 33 points, a point behind the 5th placed target (I've set myself) to get into Europe. We are out of the league cup though.
Turned the first transfer window off and as a result have amassed a £46m WARCHEST, which I'll be spunking now we've hit January.
Ezequiel Barco is your man. I've had one career game, started with a mate and which we've got through four seasons of on various nights after the pub, and iirc he's in the high eighties having been bought for about fifty pence.
Ronaldo OTW next season then? (Pretty sure they will not do that but still)
You can 100% believe that they will do that.
That'll sell the packs if they put that in for a limited time.
Depends how they look at it for informs and what his IFs do for pack sales over the year.
100% he will be a OTW.
If you have OTW Ronaldo available for 1 week with a low pack weight, you'll still have plenty of people wanting his TOTW cards. OTW cards also wont match the eventual TOTY/S item, so they'll still make a killing.
If they have OTW cards he will be invovled. They would be foolish not too.
Legia Warsawa players are selling like butter. Sold a couple for 8k+
Decided to use some untradeables (including TOTS Batshuayi and TOTS Mane) in that Festival SBC and got Zlatan.
https://www.futbin.com/18/player/193...m=10&schem=100
I'm not mad.
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).
I got OTW Aurier in my pack and voted for Dembele.
Also EOAE Iniesta is up. 96 rated
OTW Kessie and 88 Milinkovic Savic in mine.
Why are we getting OTW cards now as the season is finished?
They are just throwing a chunk of the various specials back into the packs.
Got a TOTW Silva 92 rated. Already got the TOTS Silva 95 so that felt a bit meh.
Perfect SBC fodder if you like any of the EOAE cards
Finally have internet, so I'll be back on this Sunday. Wish I'd left the world cup mode well alone.
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:
91 Bakayoko available for a 86 rated SBC. I have done it mostly using untradeables.
How is he?
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.
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.
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:
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.
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!
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.
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.
Just pulled an 84 rated IF Vrsaljko from a pack. How's he in packs?
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.
Cheers.
Is there a list anywhere of who you can get?
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.
Yeah, I thought the same. Maybe there's a glitch in the matrix.
Get on the gold upgrade SBC. They have added TOTS cards back into packs, I have just pulled 4 from 3 upgrades.
The standard gold upgrade? That’s mad luck. Untradeable or not
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.
Did a couple got regular Marcelo.
Bought a 20k pack. TOTS Parejo. 60k back.
Two more. Nothing and 88 Dzeko
Finished marquee matchups and the packs
OTW Joao Mario
TOTS Robertson
PTG William Carvalho
TOTS Skriniar
OTW Ntep
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rinsed some players, got nothing. Got pissed and bought a pack. TOTS Doucoure.
Duplicate Bobby Firmino. Fuck my life.
Run of trash but I just got TOTS Sane :eyemouth:
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.
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.
Its still a hype card and if they have an SBC to do, you best beleive people will try and get it.
Got TOTS Sterling and that Inter CB ToTS who got me Bakayoko.
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:
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?
TOTS Michy Batshuayi for 62K. No use for him but hoping he rises in the next few weeks.
I'm going bd on that Lukaku. If I sell much of my new club I can get the beast.
Incredibly tempted by this De Rossi card.
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.
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
People on Reddit were thinking it must be international retirement related but still :face:
Did the International Competition SBC (i think it was called) Got TOTS Lecomte 93 & Neuer. Not a bad return.
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.
An 84 Mbappe for free. :drool:
TOTS Allan in my free pack.
Happy with that, I wanted to try him.
EA are properly nailing this at the moment, there's so much to do.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Did Crouch and Defoe for dirt cheap. They will get thrown into Martial, even though I have Son.
All gold rare and gold are selling nice if anyone is in need of coins
Opening 5k packs and players sell for a minimum 900 coins and you get a chance to get a tradeable TOTS
Apparently FOF cards are going to come back into packs. Expecting a price bomb.
Sold my Nani and Trippier
When are they back in Danny?
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.
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.
Used Ibra and TOTS Sterling to get Martial.
Big Tone is amazing.
Is he better than Son?
Not used any of Son's specials sadly.
Here's the futbin review:
https://www.futbin.com/news/articles...utties_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.
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.
https://s15.postimg.cc/6yzszplzv/1st_Team.jpg
https://s15.postimg.cc/u0ge5qw0r/2nd_Team.jpgl
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.
His SBC's still up and only about 70k to do.
2 wins away from the TotS player weekly objective.
He's brilliant too, obviously.
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.
Packs were bad. Bonaventura the best player.
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.
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.
That Rashford. Jesus.
That wasn't easy to do. Little annoyed because I had his nations card and I was hoping for Jesus to partner him.
Selling all my Utd players for bank then gonna buy them back in a couple of days :drool:
Did it with 474 coins to spare. Shit rewards no doubt incoming.
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.
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.
Thanks to three rage quits I am 5 games through the online seasons thing in about a hour.
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.
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.
My players were just all over the pitch bar near our goal.
That 91 Martial is soooo good.
A 94 Carrick SBC is out.
Special 94 rated Carrick SBC released. 83 squad with one TOTW.
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
Marquee matchups gave me TOTS Aouar & 89 Zabaleta
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.
https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa18/pla...-carrick/43365
I’ll be doing that. Continuing the Man U special this last few week. Bailly and Valencia to win Futties please!
Nils Peterson as my TOTS reward, ugh.
How did Rashford win over Jesus :face:
People submitting the lower rated card and keeping the best for SBC. Or people like Rashford and Jesus is a little shitbag?
FOF Prices are plummeting.
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
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.
Won the final three today, three rage quits with a Son overhead being the icing on the cake.
Otamemdi. Ugh
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.
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.
FOF Rooney's price has increased by about 50% from the time I first clocked him at 90k ish last night. Grrrr.
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.
Terry and Granqvist 94s are about 20k. Perfect SBC fodder
Anyone used FOF Rooney? He looks quality.
Thinking of moving on Goretzka.
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.
Vidal to Inter.
Looks like it might be the league to be next season!
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.
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.
I've held fire for now as presumably his price will drop over the next week.
Another update. I look forward to the match engine changing again!
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.
Logged on and saw that I got a free pack.
TOTS Muller & 93 Varane.
TOTS Firmino from my free pack.
Gutted Bailly didn’t win
Who did win? The SBC's not there for some reason.
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.
Anyone have a link to the SBC spreadsheet?
Not sure if its the same one
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=695340785
Pulled TotS Aspas from a 2x81 upgrade pack and invested in some FoF players.
Did a few 81+.
90 Aouar and PTG El Shaarawy in a pack
87 Fernando (Spartak)
I have so many players in my club right now.
Toggle Spoiler
They will be useful for the Ronaldo EOAE. Trust me, its inbound.
:drool:
I'm really hoping for Keane and Scholes this year.
He looks a bit rubbish, but still, swoon.
He really does. Should be not too badly priced. Also:
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
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).
What are the weekly objectives?
The new Kompany looks brilliant.
3 TOTS needed too so I should be able to make some money on the tradeable ones I have.
Can do the Komapny with untradeables and make 10k (after selling FOF Stones) before packs but not sure I really want him.
I did it and got 80K worth of players in the rare players pack.
I reckon I could do it with what's in my club (largely tradeable) and would be able to sell Blanc for about 230k.
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.
Telles is in and I decided to use the rest on a rare player pack:
FOF Toure, FOF Badelj, OTW Sanchez.
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.
Haven't used him. I bought the 96 when it was released and he's going nowhere.
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.
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.
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
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.
Raul added too. There's your left footer @SincereTheRebel
A striker OTW Ronaldo? Jesus.
Eusebio looks quality.
Ronaldo & Eusebio link is going to be common.
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.
One of the good things they've brought over from MUT.
If only they'd copy their market searches.
Hopefully, they bring the market search better like futbin. We need a built-in one.
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.
Sounds like they are improving the abliity to search, like for a specific card a player has.
Not sure about rare vs nonrare.
Did Carrick and Vrsajlko for next to nothing with untradeables from the club.
Now to buy Rooney.
Got him, sniped for 70k.
FoF Howard and TotS Jota from one of my SB reward mega-packs, bugger all in the other.
Got 89 Areola in a pack, but then seemingly so did half the rest of the other FIFA-playing humans :moop:
Toronto & NYFC players are selling like butter for 10k.
I can't imagine butter selling particularly well if it was ten grand.
Everyone is worth buttons now because the game has half an hour until they shut the servers down and move on.
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.
99 pace, 95 shooting, 92 passing, 97 dribbling and 83 physical...
My word.
He has been a fantastic super sub for me. 6 goals in 4 games after coming on in the 60th minute in each game.
I've been bringing him off the bench straight away for me for a few games. He's absolutely electric.
When does the Lozano sbc expire? Is it tonight at 6?
Looks like tomorrow. Kompany expires at 6 today.
Did that 09 SBC and pulled TOTS Salah.
Ronaldo looking unlikely at this point
The new weekly objectives are probably a good measure of where we are now - I think they've given up.
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.
Rapidly closing into 1 month to go until the new game. If you want a card, get it now.
They have to release Ronaldo EoAE. It would be crazy otherwise.
He's still playing though?
You only get those for retired/retiring players.
Iniesta got one.
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.
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.
I dont feel FIFA is a game where if FIFA 19 is out, people still stay on FIFA 18.
That feeling when you realise the only player that perfectly fits the bill to complete the SBC you're working on is dead.
Ugo Ehiogu?
Astori.
9 of the 12 done for Vieira now.
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.
TOTS Michy and Scream Crouch in my Marquee Matchups
Prices in the up somewhat.
Nothing too crazy though right now
Won division one for the first time. Guessing it's a lot easier at the moment but still pretty happy.
Vieira is a beast, but the game is dead so got him too late.
Weekly objectives being unimaginative shit again and lack of any SBC's confirm this is done.
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.
I haven't seen them yet, but presumably there are multiple cards for each player already available that are better.
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.
Why is the next instalment of FIFA released weeks after the European football season starts? The IF content should be all on FIFA19.
Sergio Rico closing in on 1,000 games, which may well be my last act of FIFA18.
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.
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.
Quincy Promes had better move to a proper league.
Apparently Milan and Roma were after him, has their window closed yet?
Two days left.
Heading to Sevilla today.
Promes, Ben Yedder and Williams in a front three will be. :alan:
Start a FIFA 19 thread shitface.
Have they changed when the squad battles refresh? I have an update in 14 minutes? :cab:
https://s8.postimg.cc/fzmu3679x/02-09-2018_23-41-08.jpg
Finally did it and with that probably my last act on FIFA18.
Legend. :hail:
I was hoping to get to 1000 goals with Kane but I gave up at around 850ish.
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.
Stick a fork in it, it's done now.
And they didn't give us an EOAE Ronaldo
Salah 88? :roflol:
They should have made him a 96.
Having him rated 2 lower than Higuain feels like an insult.
I do agree, he should be a 90.
This week's TOTW is a belter. Shame the game is done.
@Yevrah have a look at Bale.
