    The new page deceived me.

    That team is my idea of hell. Does anyone even stand out when your team looks like that?

    Kane and De Bruyne for sure. Gullitt is also on his way but he's just joined.

    True. Would have to Close the app, reopen and dump the other into something else

    1 in 23 chance I guess.

    I'd love to do it and get Robertson.

    Ok so if I get Malcom again all I have to do is close the thing and when I log in again just go straight to next SBC and to do that and the game won't force me to deal with the unassigned duplicate?

    On PS4 I am pretty sure that home button > network > turn off connect to network and reconnect would do the same thing

    Just do it on the web app.

    You can even buy additional players as long as you have less than 5 in your unassigned pile.

    Would save you quite a bit if you put him towards one of the 88/89 ratings for an Icon SBC.

    I pulled a 91 Gomez via the TOTS SBC (trading a TOTS Gomez + 81 squad for a random Community TOTS player).

    It's a shame I have no use for him other than keeping him as a super sub. I was hoping for a Courtois or Doucoure.

    Pretty much the plan. Once I get bored enough of them I have EOAE Kaka and Pirlo, Birthday Schweinsteiger and Van Persie, FUTswap Ibra and Koke and now TOTS Martinez and Gio to go into something

    I think so, apparently they did last year.

    Did todays MM's for pretty cheap and will stack the packs for Friday. I am also thinking I will slowly work through the Ligue 1 SBC this week as its cheap and its going to be fun to open a stack of packs when the prem drops.

    Ended up trading in Lopez, got back Fernando. Thought I'd packed Malcolm for a second and was delighted. Either way you can't complain. I've exchanged a bronze TOTS card and Lopez who was reasonably useful, for an 87 and 90 rated TOTS card, the latter of which being a dynamite super-sub.

    As I didn't pack anyone to build a team around, I ended up sorting my back line out. I've now got this:



    With also 75k to spare. I would quite like to start upgrading the front line now though. I'm not sure I could quite do all of that for 75k.

    Next levels up on Jesus and Martial would be cheap. Apart from that you are starting to hit IF's and some serious coin.

    Edit: Son's IF's have fallen a lot.

    Done the first 7 teams tonight on the list tonight (except PSG and Lille who I had done before today). Decided to open a pack for shits and giggles and pulled 87 Kouliably. Not too bad and will pay for about 50% of the total cost over the next few days as I stack the packs.

    The medium/medium 92 Martinez is a dread in my defensive midfield. The lack of pace (66) isn't really a big deal. Not once in the four games I played with his yesterday was he ever out of position. Offensively, as soon as he gets the ball I look to switch the play as his long passing is excellent. Defensively, his interceptions and slide tackles are superb. I rarely slide tackle, but I do it quite often with CDM Martinez as he usually comes out with the ball.

    Not sure who will be in the Bundesliga TOTS in midfield with a medium or low offensive workrate, but I would be surprised if I find someone better. I'm going to sell him though as I'm tight with my coins as I suspect the SBC that drops today, he will get flooded on the market and his price will decrease.

    Looks like FIFA is going to be banned in Belgium and Netherlands if they don't change the way FUT works in the next one.

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 has fucked everyone.

    I read somewhere that all they need to do is give users the information on probability of getting the high rewards or something like that and all will be OK.

    That's what they did in China and would probably be enough for Belgium but not the Netherlands. Over there they're saying the opening of packs is equivalent to enticing slot machine behavior. So maybe they'll just make opening the packs look more boring.

    They'll be making less than a penny per pound of revenue in The Netherlands so if it becomes a real hassle they'll just suspend pack buying there or something. It'd set a dodgy precedent but I reckon the majority of their Ultimate Team income is from Britain and the Middle East anyway, so it's not a precedent their big markets are likely to follow.

    There's absolutely no way EA will ever release the pack weights, because that will show a) how low they are and b) shine a light on how they manipulate those weights by increasing/decreasing them throughout the game.

    To do so you'd need to buy independent servers for those two countries. It's much cheaper to just make the card openings boring. Also saves time when the EU inevitably puts an end to it.

    It's definitely much cheaper to buy servers that'll exclusively serve The Netherlands and keep their outlandishly profitable scheme going elsewhere than to modify the whole thing because a market worth 0.3% of their money said so.

    The 83s are 2.5k+ Cazorla is 4k and 84s wide players are 6k+

    If they are true to form, next should come the PL and Dutch/Belgian TOTS. I'm hoping they continue with the same style of SBC to get what is essentially a free TOTS card (I've spent 5k or so on players and got 2 TOTS players out of it).

    If I get a good enough one I'll build a team around it. Speaking of which, I've 2 things to work towards this weekend. Either team 1 or 2 below:

    Got Malcom from the second community SBC and did the RoW and pulled an 85 jobber. Not too shabby.

    I think I'm now sat on something like 800 bronzes and still haven't pulled a TotS.

    No. I would hold now. There are going to be more TOTS cards released which means the prices are going to decrease. I'm now watching the record breaking milner card. If Salah gets the prem record card ( can he still get it?) People will pair them together. Also that IF french 82 GK from PSG. You can get him for 13k. There are pages of him available. He will increase in value once a SBC comes out for him. French POTY and TOTS are likely.

    Heres an idea. How about a sticker album in FUT where you have to collect cards for some type of prize. You don't have to store the card in your club, you just have to had owned it at some point. Ive got over 2000 players at my club.

    @SincereTheRebel Salah is currently tied on 31, with Shearer, Ronaldo and Suarez in a 38 game season. Shearer has had a 34 league goal season, but he played 42 games.

    Chelsea away and Brighton at home to come.

    I don't think it will make much difference to opening packs. Most of us don't pack shit and we still do it. Having the numbers directly in your face isn't going to change it. Its an addiction.

    I don't even know. I have no motivation to get an icon. I just don't really want them in my team. Maybe if I could get vieira and an icon left or right back ( I hear they all are shit), then maybe ill buy one. I really want a TOTS bundesliga ST to replace gold lewa and also a TOTS left and/or right back. That's about it.

    The same weirdos who buy 83 cazorla for 4.4k because there is an SBC that gives you a TOTS from the football league or the bottom 10 from ROW. Special cards that are in packs for only a week (such as the MOTM cards and record breakers) always increase the moment they are no longer in packs. Its best to buy them on the last day they are in packs or during lighting rounds. MOTM 90 muller was 125k at his lowest. The first weekend he was out of packs, he went to 170k.

    Point a might not, but b is so immoral as to be untrue and I think it would signify a shift. If idiots like Jim Stering did his job properly we might already be there.
