    Did the league SBC's get price fixed to fuck at this stage last year and then calm down a bit later on?

    The Mexican ones cost 22k+ to do the Rare Gold Pack ones, which is barley worth bothering with.

    I guess everyone visits that website or similar that agent mahow posted and people realise which players become popular for SBC

    Sort the list by most recent additions for better value.

    They do, but when I got into FIFA17 in Feb/Mar time Mexican SBC's were worth doing, so I was curious to know if there was a time last year when they weren't and we can expect to see the same cycle repeat this year.

    Sorting by value doesn't do much as the ones that offer the best value on that site are going to be the ones that are price fixed first.

    Actually you may be onto something. Someone has purchased from carlos vela for 10k . You can get him right now for about 1500 via auction.

    What do you mean by price fixed? I may have missed the whole point of your post.

    People fixing the prices of players. i.e. buying shitloads of the same one and setting the price high.

    They'll go down, likely when new league SBCs come out.

    Also won 5-3 against Muller's team on legendary earlier which is easily the best team I've faced on legendary.

    Annoying to concede 3 as I defended well but 3 stupid mistakes (they're mainly down to switching as I always seem to select the wrong person with the right stick) and the AI pounced.

    Just done the SBC Hybrid Nations Quads and The Six for less than 10k combined. Managed to get Cahill and B.Silva from it which should return the value and more.

    Question - The unwanted players, that dont fetch much value. Should i still sell them or trade them as part of the SBC bronze, silver or gold?

    I've decided to keep unwanted players (that don't fetch much more than discard value) for the time being this time around, in the hope of cashing in when a random SBC they're good for comes up.

    How I keep on top of that is anyone's guess, but I feel like I should try.

    Enjoying the squad battles and SBCs for now whilst still on a shitty 2mbps connection. Got fibre finally coming this week so should spend next weekend charging through the divisions and looking to qualify for the 2nd weekend league as I’ll be away during this week. Have got two decent 80 odd rated squads and some good pulls via free packs and SBC packs including 3 shite but handy for SBC team of the week players and a OTW Bertrand Traore which is handy as I’ve got a few Lihue 1 players and would likely use him if he gets an upgrade to 81 within the first couple of months. Quite a few 83/84s have come my way too and I’ve now got 350 odd players in the SBC pool.

    How do you know when a player will be good for SBC?

    In some cases it'll be obvious (a marquee matchup, with players from that club), others less so. Not 100% sure how I manage this yet in fairness, but it will probably involve a lot of weekly checking.

    The agent may know. But it sounds like alot of checking. Even if there was a database for hot players, it still sounds like a manual check back to your Fifa squad

    god i fucking hate the rancid FUT game engine. or i'm just shit at defending. probably both. having particular grief playing against narrow 4-1-2-1-2 with teams just making quick short passes, i try to concentrate really hard on defending and then benteke or some loser smashes it in from 30 yards. think i'm averaging about 4-4 in my 9 or so games.

    think i might go 5-2-1-2, go ultra defensive and save up for a italian league side with great defenders.

    Defending is hardcore in this version. Needs to be thought about carefully, rather than rushing in like previous versions. Overall I like the changes though - this one feels more football like than earlier games.

    opponents seem to bypass my whole midfield with quick short passing. But when its my turn, it gets intercepted by their midfielders. Only hope is making a block or tackle on he each of my penalty error. Still a great game though. Im starting to enjoy it more and more.

    It was an accident, he meant to hit bid.

    I've had plenty of those but never for so much.

    A little bit better now. Silva, Ox, Dier & Begovic for 9k combined. Felt like good business.

    Just did the Portugal/Switzerland marquee matchup (the rest can fuck off) and pulled Di Maria.

    He goes for over 30k. Sweet.

    That should take me close to the half a million coins mark.

    Dropped the £4 for a month of EA Access as it includes 10 hours of FIFA 18. Enough to see if I should get it. If I hit the ten hours I guess it's a yes.

    Just checked and Quincy Promes is on 34 goals in 34 games.

    Until I spend some reasonable money that starter squad Boras Legend posted really is as good as anything else.

    Yeah, it's brilliant for a budget squad.

    I've been plugging away at the journey to get the rewards. Positioning is such a dick.

    I'm a CAM, finish an attack and I'm meant to teleport to the halfway line almost straight away. If not I get marked down, same if you're half a yard out of position.

    Didn't need to buy anyone for MM, I could have done squads filled from each national team.

    Best pull was Cuadrado.

    Pulled this together as my second/first team to the Boras Legend one. Cost only about 15k but it's lovely to use.



    N'Zonzi is a complete beast and Ben Yedder is as devastating as he was last year.

    I packed Lloris in my Squad Battles packs. That’ll do nicely. Should have around 130k to make a properly decent team.

    I dont like playing against the AI, but ill give the squad battles a try later tonight. I did all the current marquee matchups last night, and got nothing worth talking about. Cost about 50k to do it all.

    Currently the bundesliga team im using. I find the support for the ST is limited with my play style. Thinking about moving the LW and RW to the LF and RF slots. There are two castros. One of them is bender

    Yarrrrrrrrrrmolenko!

    Hopefully that's a nice price boost for his OTW which I bought. +3 pace, +6! shooting, +5 passing, +6 dribbling, + 6 defending and +3 physical.

    I also bought 20 Fellaini's at around 4k a pop as it was obvious he was going to be an IF and he's already up to 5k. Hopefully that goes up a bit when the IF drops too.

    4321 is brilliant with the wingers cutting inside and a Fabinho type in the middle of the three.

    Been playing Journey too much.

    After 2 straight days away, I went back to squad battles.

    4-1 loss on legendary, 2-1 loss on world class, 3-0 loss on world class (quit after like 20 minutes as every shot was going in with my keeper doing nothing) and then a 3-1 loss on professional :\

    Had a shocking run myself lately. Screwed by that bug and some bad performances I'm tracking to Gold 2 at the moment.

    When are we likely to see the first market crash btw?

    I'm having to go down to pro to win consistently

    Oh and yes, I could do with a crash soon. I would like to buy one of Peter Schemeichel's cards.

    Moved to 4-3-2-1 on Waffdon's recommendation and really liking it. Two 5 goal scoring hauls on pro on squad battles brings me back in contention for Gold 1.
