That’s massive. Dragging you back in

That Yaya will be absolutely bonkers
There's so much shit to do now the game is seriously crying out for a repeatable rare gold upgrade pack - the League SBC's take far too long.
Agreed. I have made a list of what I want to do SBC wise (ignoring shit like Auba) but I have fuck all in terms of low level fodder.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Forlan myself today from the 86 pick though, so thats nice.
This problem is even worse now the 85x10 is here, fucking 4k per 83 rare.
And I've just seen the player pick requires an 80 rated squad too, making league SBC's much more costly/more of a faff.
I'm sure it's a coincidence that there's a pack in the store for only 3k points for a load of golds...
Yeah, the game is absolutely fucked now if you don't have loads of coins or are prepared to shell out real monies on packs. 4.5k for an 83, 6k for an 84, even 82's are going for silly money. People will start saving packs for Team 2 as well, so those prices are only going to go up.
It's actually got so nuts that I'm wondering if that 'Super Ultimate Pack', 250 players for 400,000 coins might actually be worth it.
Decided against the 400k pack as there's absolutely nowhere to put anything under 78 rated bar league SBC's and frankly, fuck that.
81s are now 2k, everything is fucked and the only conclusion I can draw is that we're definitely getting an Ultimate Rare Gold upgrade pack very soon, nothing else makes sense.
If you want some free money then do the bronze/silver squads from Icon SBCs to get tradeable golds.
I'm annoyed they sacked off Silver Stars. It was kinda my favourite game mode
Ronaldinho coverstar SBC is out. 98 rated
33 squads.
Tempted to liquidate my entire club and coins to do him now.
Any list yet of who is in best of batch 2? Looks a bit shit again from the packs I've opened.
Ruben Neves out of my first of 10 85x10 packs.

Better but still not great.
Cheers Danny. Having TOTW's in there is a godsend but there should be more and some of the crapper TOTS' wouldn't have gone amiss too.
I'm hoping Ronaldinho is still around for when the infinite 85x10 comes. Otherwise he'll be impossible for 99% of the player base
Yeah, he will be, he's there for 44 days so people will get a week or two with him at least. I bit the bullet and did 15 of the 33 segments last night.
Over two weeks into Futties and I think I might be done. There's a grind that can be done but it takes far too long/isn't rewarding enough and almost every single 'upgrade' pack they release at the higher end of things is asking you to put more value in than you're going to get back. That 84 x 30 today being a case in point. I genuinely don't ever remember it being this bad and certainly not as late as six weeks before the game dies.
Yeah, I've no idea why they're not just letting people run free and unlock everything. It's not like my team can get much better.
I'm actually enjoying the new cards though - been using Ronaldinho in the Futties Cup and he is absolutely bonkers
Was reminded of this watching Nep earlier and apparently it's viable now to make your coins back from it as well as getting some shit. So... in the interests of science I'm gonna test it tonight.
Need to clear my club of rare golds to avoid dupe city and get the transfer pile under control, but let's give it a go.
Annoyingly I've already done MM's, but haven't opened the packs yet so could try and factor that in somehow when I do.

Well, opened it and these were the scores on the doors, notable players listed:
28 Special Cards:
95s 1 Futties Capdevila
92s 1 FUT Birthday Veron
91s 1
90s 1
89s 5 1 TOTW
88s 6
87s 5 2 TOTWS
86s 4
85s 4
Gold and Lib Cards:
89s 1
88s 1
87s 1
86s 3
85s 3
84s 17
83s 17
82s 24
81s 32
75-80s 123
Taking the minimum value of each player rating on Futbin equates to 771k, but as I want to keep Capdevila we'll call that 700k+ Capdevila. Now to go and do some SBC's.
Next step was to build the first SBC, but annoyingly I got a dupe Griezmann as part of the 250 players that I had to do something with. I would have put him in a Dinho segment but that may involve using players not packed from the 250 and I'm trying to avoid that for as long as possible, so the 85x10 it is.
131k of my fodder across 22 cards went into this, so I need an average of 13k a card back to break even in fodder terms. Before we open it, first two tradeable packs to open:
Premium Mixed Players Pack - 80 rated was the highest although it was Coquelin.
Mixed Players Pack - Bugger all
Quick sold the bronzes and 4 silvers insta went for 300 coins, so that's our first 1,311 coins of the 400,000 back.
Onto the 85x10...
Veron again and another dupe 91 Benrahma. Overall fodder value was 120k, so we 'lost' 11k of fodder on that. To be fair perhaps better than I expected given there's nothing usable in it, but if you get a pack with no 90+ players in it you're gonna bone hard.
The tradeable TOTW SBC is probably a cheat code for this.
Yeah, I think you get enough to do that 6 times and the tradeable TOTY one 6 times too. So this will be dead at recouping coins as soon as best of Team 3 comes out (or EA realise it's worth it and pull it).
90 Segment of Dinho done with the dupes and other cards from this grind so far but the Rare Electrum was disappointing. Might clear 10k from it. Onto the above...
6 times might be optimistic as it happens. Done the 3 TOTW's today comfortably and sales (less tax) are now up to 101,725, but this is sort of where the problem comes in measuring this, in that it just isn't efficient to use only the 250 cards and any you generate from those in SBC's as you'd end up putting far too high rated ones into SBC's to get them to work. I haven't had to so far, but to do more of the TOTW packs tomorrow I'd need to, when I could just whack common golds into them from the Silver upgrades that are now so easy to do thanks to the 3 silver cards SBC.
That said, I've seen enough to know this is definitely worth it as the game currently stands.
EDIT: When TOTS' and more TOTW's are in packs or 81s to 84s go down in price it won't be. Not that I foresee the latter happening mind.

Rodrygo in my first TOTS pack built from the 250. That's 270k right there.
Mad that he is still that expensive.
Yeah, I was assuming he'd be under 100k given his FUTTIES SBC, so was genuinely surprised to see the lowest BIN when I listed him at 274k.
Second TOTS pack. Moments Goretzka who I'm surprised is so cheap, but that's another 70k and up to 435k in coins in.
Think I'll end the tracking there - 1x92, 3x89, 7x88, 5x87, 1 x85 and 2x84 of everything 83 and above left over and we're into 82s after that (plus another 12 player picks worth of low rated crap).
There's more than enough 82s and 81s left to do the 3 TOTW packs from tomorrow (and more TOTS packs if you crowbar stuff), so I think you're looking at getting at least 300k in coins back from it even with the worst pack luck ever. Combine it with bronze, silver and gold upgrades and league SBC's (which are now easy as you have so many players) and you'll be living off that pack for a while.
Capdevila tradeable from MM rewards. What a night. Good job Starfield is coming out, I'd have no luck left for EA Sportsball 24.
Tempting me to do the pack now too
Definitely doing another one as soon as my rare golds are down to a manageable level. Decided to hoover up league SBC's rather than chuck them into PP's as you'll get more bang for your buck that way. Involves doing some upgrades to get silvers and common golds but they're so easy now. Also reckon the 150 Rare Golds/300,000 pack will be worth it too. Equates to 1,667 a player rather than 1,600 for the 250.
Who'd have thought a fun grind would have come back via some of the most expensive packs in store. Cheers EA.
Back on for some more expensive pack grinding...
https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
TOTY Bellingham from a Player Pick.
Ronaldinho in. His loan card might be the most fun player I've ever used in FIFA. Just obscenely good.
I havent started him yet. I should probably get a shift on. I have 9 85 x 10s that I am just accumulating.
Also decided fuck it on the 400k pack method:
Highlights:
TOTY Benz
95 Futties Diego Carlos
FB Kaka
92 TOTW Ronaldo
91 FF Llorente
21 total specials.
So far I have returned around 125k between TOTW and TOTS. I reckon over the next two days I can get close to breakeven from those never mind the fodder.
I then dropped FB Matthaus from an 85 x 10.
I've done it twice more since the first time and it was nowhere near as good. Think in one of them I only got 2 players over 90. Still, even with that it's definitely still worth it as it's such a good way to get rare golds and keep the grind going.
I started with 3.4m before the first time, I'm now down to 2.9m but must have done about 20 Ronaldinho segments in that time, plus a few other players so definitely value. Hope EA have it there when team 3 of Futties is in packs too, it'll be so much fun, if a lot less profitable in liquid coin terms.
I think the fact every man and his dog is doing it isn’t helping.
If I can recoup 75% in actual coins I’ll take it. Especially with the cards I got in there.
Cover star Rooney coming tomorrow by the sounds of it, for the love of god give us unlimited 85x next week.
About 275k back over the three days. Not bad considering the non tradeable value.
82x100 SBC out for like 400k. Tempted
Also still can’t decide between Kent/Jota and their packs.
TOTS in packs. So come Monday when 85x10 refreshes its grind time.
Looking forward to getting to the 82+ x100 I’ve got buried in there somewhere…
84x10 covering for the 85x10 for now.
My 82x100 had no futties but like 25 specials.
Obviously, the grind is incredible but I already packed Ginola
Snap. Got him from the 82x100.
Saw on Twitter that Futties replay pack is guaranteed minimum break even. 50k for 5 90+
Havent played for two seasons, but i signed on and had 20+ packs waiting, 2.7m in coin balance and a club full of fodder.
I opened this pack and got toty vini.
This grind is absolutely nuts. Did have some packs going in but you can save so many cards from the 84+ x10. Done 15 player/specific icon SBC’s since last night and only have Alonso, Rooney and Zidane left to do now.
Dinho is in. Working through Zidane
Rodrygo is the only SBC from the player tab I have left to do. He will get done after Zidane.
Will then work through all the Icons. Not too fussed on Eusebio, Torres or Zola but I see me doing them and then hammering those 93+ picks to hunt down Martial, Bruno and Sancho.
I also dont have Cech and hate that he exists
