OK can someone explain what the fuck this is all about?
How can you have mixed teams with old and new players? Do you play against other people or is it some story-mode or something?
Bear with me.

Are you asking "how does Ultimate Team work"?
If so, and in a vastly over-simplified nutshell, you buy players with coins earned in game and some of those players are selected former greats.
Think Panini sticker book. If you have the player in your collection you can use them in game. Obviously some of the sticker cards are worth more than others but you can buy and sell using coins you earn in game.
Every so often you get special versions of a players card. All boost their in-game stats in some way. Some are for the players real life exploits. Some are a flashback to former events or seasons.
In previous iterations it was almost always dependant on real life performance. However this year they've done very well to find way to basically give whoever they want a special card.
When you get cards you want to use, you have to link them via nationality/league they play in. Former players, or Icons as they are in game, link to everyone regardless.
A properly linked player gets 10 chemistry. You're looking to do what you can to get up to 100 team chemistry.
So people play against each other with these teams? Does it get really unfair...?
But do people not play like Chelsea - Barcelona much anymore?
Sorry for sounding like a dinosaur but the last FIFA game I owned was FIFA98 to Nintendo 64 (which is still a great motherfucking game, that futsal option was hilarious).
That was my favourite FIFA ever.
You can still play standard teams in other game modes.
If you were to start this deep into a game cycle you'd be coming up against god tier teams constantly. But if you start in September like most do, it's really down to your pack luck or how much real money you want to spend on in-game packs.
I think it's more popular because people just love the idea of linking up say Ronaldinho and Aubemeyang in the same team as Gerrard and Zidane. But yes once you make your "ultimate team" you play against each other in a few game modes inside the Ultimate Team section.
Online single match - Is what is says on the tin. One off match against a random opponent. You'll earn a few hundred coins for the match.
Division Rivals - A competition that resets every Thursday morning. You get awarded a skill ranking score, which then places you into a division (1-10). You'll then play only people of the same division as you. Your score goes up for every win, down for every loss. If you do very well one week, you'll get promoted to the next division up on the Thursday reset.
When Thursday resets, the next time you log in you'll be offered a choice of 3 rewards on top of your match earned coins. Option 1 will be a lump sum of coins. Option 2 is a bunch of packs to open that you can sell the contents of. Option 3 is like 2, but you get double the amount of packs. The trade off is that you can't sell the items.
FUT Champions/Weekend league - This runs from Friday morning to Sunday night. You have 30 games in that time, but don't have to play them all. For however many wins you get a better reward will be given at certain milestones. For example, rewards get better at 11 wins, then 14, 17, 20, 23, 25 and 27. Mega rewards await for anyone who reaches the top 100 of the world. You'll usually need at least 29 wins for that.
In addition to your match coins, you'll be given a preset reward dependant on your total wins. This will be a chunk of coins as well as some packs to open. If you finish high enough you'll get the option to gain a special variation of a card as a red untradeable version. However this is very random as to how good you'll get.
It’s also so popular as it’s basically now a MMORPG. It encourages grinding for rewards which further boost your team’s in the same way as grinding to level up a character in WOW.
For those that have used him, is that Futties Pogba actually good enough to warrant the cost?
If you had 700k on hand would you be better served putting it elsewhere?
I only play Squad battles but yeah he's a beast.
Anyone tried TOTS Benzema? If Hazard wins the vote I'd like to try Hazard-Benzema-Bale attack.
I haven't used him but if you're looking for a CM, possibly.
A CAM? I'd rather Eriksen's TOTS.
I packed him last night untradeable but I will never use him
That Alaba looks insane.
Alaba + Renato for 5 futswaps. Not a bad shout.
Think that’s my plan.
Might pass on Pogba.

Worth banging the steam on in the background.
97 rated Hazard out. A 89, 88 & 87 rated squad with 3 TOTW or TOTS in total needed.
Quite reasonable that. Shame I have R10 and Promes already.
I have to say, the more content they release the worse value icons are. I chucked 3m coins worth into Gullit, for example. He's very good but not worth that and he ruins all my corners.
People quitting in rivals as soon as you score once with a Serie A player to go ahead really are arse holes.
Gold rares from France, Belgium, Brazil & Italy are selling like crazy.
400k for Hazard on Futbin. A Steal.
Hazard done and Benzema bought.
Been using 95 Pogba in place of Vieira this weekend. He’s pretty awesome, but I’m struggling to come to a judgement on whether he’s a better fit for me as a stay back CM with his L/H work rates.
Nice packs coming out of League SBC’s too - small rare gold players seem to guarantee at least a UCL or TOTS every time. Like this lovely reward for doing Sampdoria:

Cheers Merse. On the back of your post I checked Dembele out and saw he'd dropped to 95k, which is ridiculous value. Snapped him up right there.
Trying to do that Serie A scorer objective with Quagliarella and he's total dogshit. It must be the M/M but he's not taken up a useful goalscoring position or made a good run once in 5 games.
Wait, Dembele is 95k? Wasn't he about 900k last week?
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's absolutely insane.Originally Posted by Gray Fox

160k on PS4, but he was 800k on July 30th.
What other mad bargains are there out there at the moment? There must be a fuckton of them?
FUT Birthday and Headliner Sane at 100k. Not even sure if he's in packs and that doesn't sound obscene value, but it's comfortably cheaper than he's ever been and he's always a tonne of fun to use in FIFA.

That card is probably my favourite in this game.
Am I correct in assuming that those orange cards will never be useful for anything?
Yeah, I've not used him yet this year so it is very tempting.
Here are a select few TotS: All Xbox.
There seems to have been a mass crash tonight for some reason. Maybe EA have flexed the pack odds a bit.
Ibra - 159k
Telles - 87k
In fact, fuck it, just look through this. There are loads:
https://www.futbin.com/19/tots/TOTS-MC
Pepe is 80k
2.6m for Prime R9 from scratch. Given the stuff in packs too that seems mad.
He's M/M, I'd be wary.
Full backs going for a killing as well.
TOTS Ben Yedder is under 200k on PS4, when he was a bit over a million the other day.
Yeah, I’ve been checking him out too.
Was as low as 130k on Xbox last night, but missed out in picking him up.
Snapped him up for 158k.
Still got 500k on hand and a load of wank in the club to sift through.
I've picked up FB Ibra to see what all the hype is about. He's an absolute unit but like an oil tanker.
Quite a few TOTS players now down to around 50k or so. Es loco.
Did Hazard's SBC by only spending 50k or so and the rest from shit in the club.
As it stands at the moment Pogba and finishing Vieira are all I have my eye on.
Don't think I have enough to do that though.
I didn't even know you can play on the same console with two players and you can control your friend's squad.
Packed Ben Yedder from a mega pack.
I packed TOTS Da Costa in the daily tournament SBC.
Him, FFS Sancho and FUT Birthday Pavard during this spell of boosted packs. I still have OTW Goretzka. I think the game is telling me something.
Anyone used De Jong?
I'm looking for a mobile CDM and he fits the bill on that score, but his reactions are woeful, which worries me.
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/208...m=10&schem=100
Oh and what are people doing for Futswaps? I have all 5 so far, but can't decide.
I used and quite liked his FFS. That card will be immense.
I have 4 Futswaps so far. Not sure what to do. Think I might wait until the last minute to decide. Tempted for Sanches with the Bundesliga players I mentioned above.
3 TOTS, another UCLive Fabinho and 2 84s from that Rare Mega Pack sbc
Pogba is great and all, but I really missed Vieira this weekend. The midfield felt so much more porous.

Waiting on that TOTS player from watching the Twitch stream.
I've got Dembele up front on 7 chem and he's an absolute beast. The perfect striker for me I think.
How does one get that?
