The re-release Piszczek packs are untradeable as well.
I genuinely think I'm done buying this game until EA stop being a complete shower of shit.

I've seen this coming out a lot on Twitter now too. Nepenthez has stopped his RTG series through annoyance and there's a lot of vocal opposition to the way the game is.
From watching other people play it, it seems weird. Finishing just seems random after you dribble excessively about the box. Very few good passing goals seem to be scored.
Bundesliga done in 5 games. Perfect as my Mbabu loan only had 5.
Done all the online now and 4 more wins in Squad Battles needed. I've done it over the last 24 hours on and off and the reality is it's not fun, particularly when you consider this is only 25% of the tokens and the icons on offer are mostly worse or no better than the players I already have.
Jesus Yev
MX/MLS - Done
Saudi - 4/6
Italy - 0/6

I thought I had done too much too.
Latest position:
MX/MLS - 5/6
Saudi - 5/6
Italy - 5/6
Bundesliga - Done
La Liga - Done
Three Lions - Done
I'm also only 4,617 XP away from Level 20. I've probably played this game too much over the last couple of days.
Mascherano done. Glad he came back as I missed him first time around and regretted it.
Might have a go at Gold Pack method later.
These last 3 wins have been interminable.
I've gone from smashing it to my players all feeling like Danny Ings and it's taken me 5 so far and they've all been horrific.
1 to go and I've just lost the last on penalties.

Smashed the last game 11-1 and it's done.
Finished the Saudi's before calling it a day. 'How, I will be around later on tonight so we can hammer through that friendlies thing, make sure we get the daily objective done too so I dont have to subject myself to playing someone else
Tested my luck with the 82-88's
Pack 1: Jorginho
Pack 2: Ramsey
Pack 3: Visca
Pack 4: Pacheco
Pack 5: Pacheco
Pack 6: Matip.
Pretty crap.
Will one be able to get totys from those 82 to 88 packs if the base card falls in that range?
Hunter the best thing I packed from SB's
66 packs now.
I cant play rivals because everyone and their mother is doing objectives which means if I score first, there is a 75% chance the player will quit. Ive been sitting here for two hours now and have had one full game. This is ridiculous.
Scream Chong and EOAE Schweinstieger are back out - Chong is a fantastic little player who operates above his stats. Probably my favourite player this version. Cheap as chips so get on it if you missed him first time around.
I think I’ll do both. Bastian definitely.
I think I'll be putting some effort into getting that 'League Player' Moi Gomez. He looks shit hot already and I'm fairly sure those are the ones that could get upgraded.
They are indeed.
I’ll be doing him, hopefully later today.
That Phillips league SBC card looks very good
Both the Championship players look better than the Premiership players.
They do indeed. The packs are better than I was expecting too.
What a shitshow.
In other news I have 15 of the 40 goal conditions needed for the La Liga Milestone done. Only 5 games in too.
I've got 180 Championship players in the club so I might be able to run through that one fairly quickly.
Which level 20 player are people going with?
Shadow card on that Phillips and he might be the best CDM in the game right now. Like Essien with better work rates.
I think I'll do the same.
That's Moi Gomez done. Now up to 89 packs. There are some bronze and silver in there, but I'm fucked if I'm using the web app to sort through it all.
He paused twice (taking the full 30 seconds each time) after his Vardy made it 3-1, I assume in an attempt to get me to quit.
I wish I had messages from unknowns turned on because I'd have loved to have seen a rage message from him after Hazard (playing due to the La Liga first owner) and Walkers shafted him late.
I've got a pretty good La Liga First Owner squad now John so I'll give Moi Gomez a run out in that and keep you posted.
Played a couple of games with him and it's fair to say he struggled to impose himself. It's early days, but Cazorla's Futmas card seems better at this stage.
Still, I'd do him for the upgrade opportunity if nothing else.
He seems like he looks nothing better than 'ok' but decent for free.
Started looking at that EFL Champ SBC and the prices look to be much much higher than futbin.
I’m gutted about the Championship SBC coming out now. It’s the one league that I hadn’t prepared for, mainly because I haven’t had the time over Christmas to focus much on FIFA. Managed to complete the MLS one for around 32k outlay and took Acosta, and made 40k back from duplicates alone. Tempted to run though it again as it is so easy to pick up MLS players on open bid, and the silver packs back are profitable right now.
I’ve done a bit here and there over Christmas, mostly just to complete Roussillon and Boulaya, and I also used the web app to do Bolasie, Diego Carlos, Renato Sanches, Shaqiri, Acuna and Mascherano.
Back home later tonight and I’m still off until the 6th so will get working on the icon swaps and hopefully get back into FUT Champions this weekend after 3 weeks away.
He doesn't have great links, but I was planning to take Essien as my Icon this round and he's made me think twice. I could take Prime Sol Campbell to give him a strong link then, assuming there are 24 available again, use the remainder on Pires. I probably won't, but it's bonkers that a Championship player looks good enough to even give me pause.
I have that Cazorla splitting time with Modric alongside Rui Costa at the moment and he's terrific. I'll definitely be grinding him out anyway, an 86 card with upgrade potential who fits my team and is essentially free is not to be missed. Hopefully I get along better with him but we seem to have similar player preferences.
Did anyone else do the RTTF Kent when he was available?
I did. I used him in some of the icon swaps off the bench against the AI but haven’t used him against a human opponent yet, I will when I get into the England swaps. Felt very good in game though.
I got Kent and it's probably turned me into a Rangers fan.
So this is the team I started the game with:
And here's what I have now:
All First Owner and not a penny spent on packs.
Think I'll stay First Owner until at least TOTY is done, but after that I'm not sure. I doubt I'll carry it passed TOTS launch as I want to be picking up the bargain cards to play this game beyond the release of FIFA21.
La Liga done with two rage quits this morning. I really want to do the champ SBC before playing the England set as I want that Phillips in the team.
Thats incredible Yev. Center back in Icon Swaps?
Edit: Accidentally promoted to div 4. Shit.
I am tempted by a CB and Figo for Icon swaps so I can box Mbabu or the Saudi SBC in at right back.
Only problem is I'll be dumping almost everything in an effort to pack a TOTY which may leave me a bit fucked to complete the Season 2 Icon Swap objectives. I guess we'll see. I could actually pick up Bobby Moore now.
How close are you to getting Phillips Danny?
I'm tempted to do him and the Premier League SBC for the packs as I have most of both, but I'm down to 200k in liquid coins which is a level I like to stay above should a worthwhile SBC drop and I'd probably need to chuck about 100k in to get the players I don't have.
3/24. So, not even remotely.
I have just been going club by club and throwing bids on players. I reckon if I hammer through it today with mass bids and then just BIN where I am close I could get it done.
I am going to get Koeman from swaps. He looks very good. I figure you might go Icon CB to replace Nacho.
I have a Maguire in the club as I collect United specials, no matter how shit, and one on the trade pile.
Need to pick up one of Martials cards at some point, probably the RTTF as he can play wide one side while Chong is on the other.
I've got 4 Maguire OTW.
That Maguire upgrade and AW-B's earlier have been lovely. Need Rodri to extract a digit and do something as well That Martial will be great but hella expensive, alas.
I've been trying a Bronze Pack Method and have made a decent return on it, but am now sat on a full trade pile that is taking ages to shift.
My first online free kick goal not using that old glitch, pretty decent too.
goog man update.
I got call gold players in my rewards. Has WL changed or is this because there is a chance of the TOTY cards?
Finally got the English rivals swap (which was the last I needed online) thanks to a 2-0 win after a rage quit.
The guy constantly had the ball (he ended with 65% or something) but was utterly useless in the final third. At times it felt like I didn't even need to bother defending as he was always trying to chain skills even when he didn't need to. There were a lot of times when he created the space for a shot but then tried an extra skill and my player could then take the ball off him.
His only decent chance came when I accidentally played a free kick to him and he just decided to run it at me as my defence had parted but he overran rather than squaring it for an easy goal.
It’s broken.
