100k for potm Martinez seems steep.
100k for potm Martinez seems steep.
Just won a qualifying Rivals game 7-1 although I turned off slightly after 5-0.
Pukki, Hazard (who I brought on for Abraham at the start) and Sancho (on for Ndombele) absolutely dicked him.
I'm pretty shit with the new L2+R2 Defending thing but it's still really effective.
Needed it to be a little better to bait people into paying a premium for 84s
I see there's an update.
So I lost all of my Division Rivals placement matches on purpose (I'm going to manage the fuck out of DR this year), but it's given me a skill rating of 235 and put me in Division 9. Nine.
9 must be filled with spastics and 6 year olds.
I believe I won my first game in seven 5-0.
Sticking to First Owner now (rather than pack only) as it seems to strike the right balance. With that in mind and also needing a better striker I've just done Pukki.
Annoyingly I got rid of a bronze Norwich RM player into MM's this morning which would have worked great as someone to sub out.
Oh and heading seems completely broken in this.
It's horseshit.
Although I've been done by 3 near post corners in 6 online matches.
Just opened what I think is something like my 5th premium gold pack of fifa 20:
Got 690k, pleased with that. Sorry @Yevrah but I'm absolutely fucking off pack only after that
I don't understand why Nep is championing that Martinez SBC.
Yes the card looks great but 100K+ for a player that can't be utilised in the first 11 so soon into the game cycle is shit.
Maybe if he's around the same price near the end of the SBC (I think it will rise to 150ish though) it would be alright.
No worries Igor. 🙂
And you’re right Mahow, he’s shit value.
Any great value Bundesliga players?
Edit/ Scrap that. Think I have to go Serie A after my pack pulls.
Handanovic, Godin, Milinkovic-Savic, Rebic. Yup definately Serie A this year.

Division Rivals tonight for as long as it takes me to get to rank 3 to get a decent number of untradeable packs. Given I'm in Div 9, hopefully that won't be long.
Lads, gonna build a ~100k squad to get used to the game (not pissing away my neymar money until I know what kinda players I prefer), any suggestions?
Any league preference?
Team at the moment
https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/8456649
His Fahrmann had Twenty nine saves...
Any PS4er mind hopping on at some point tonight and gifting me 2 wins (my PSN is Mahow) to get that Early Access pack.
My connection is playing up tonight and I don't feel like playing another 2+ full games.
Nope, any league/nation/hybrid whatever works.
Only real preferences are :
Love pacey strikers with good finishing. Used Ben Yedder for the entirety of fifa 19 with great success.
Like playing 4-3-3. Tackling, strength, stamina and short passing for two cms, and long shots, finishing and passing for the AMC.
Inside forwards who are quick and good finishers and passers on the wing. Essentially see them as secondary strikers.
Super skillful dribblers utterly wasted on me as I'm too shit. Skill move star rating probably the least important attribute for me.
Got Pique in a pack.
Plus my EA Access pack yielded bullshit from the TOTW but Sokratis in the picks.
Once I get off work tonight I finally get a shot to really dive deep into FIFA beyond just playing career to manage my 10 hours.
I gave up not buying packs when I came home off my ass the other night and ended up picking up a few decent cards but nothing too exciting.
TOTW Aurier
Muller
Diego Costa
Thomas Lemar
Mesut Ozil
Torreira
Ruben Neves
off the top of my head
Probably end up selling Muller and running an EPL squad at least for now.
I really want to stay away from buying fifa packs so I'm hoping I can fight the urge and just plug away at squad battles etc. to build my team.
So again, if anyone has any strategies they're employing please feel free to share everything to the most minute detail lololol.
Keep Aurier for a month or so and he'll be expensive.
Week 1 and 2 TOTW cards always shoot up in value because they become extinct.
Did the Around the World challenge from Hybrid Nations with a Rare Gold Players Pack as the reward and packed Busquets.
He's probably unusable, but I'll take an 89.
Packed untradeable Inaki Williams. Would have been a decent little coin boost.
Division 9 is a joy. Only had to play two games to secure rank 3 and two Mega Packs with it.
Doing objectives there might actually be fun.
I've played about 8 hours of my trial so far, and I'm still stuck debating whether to get the game or not. I'll play the last 2 hours tonight, and probably finish off my Rivals placement games, and I'll have to make a decision then.
I've built a couple of basic starter squads, one Dutch, and one Liga NOS/Serie A. If I was to carry on, I really don't have a clue what sort of team I'd aim for.
Packed Cancelo this morning. Think the weekly preorder packs came in.
He would likely slot into my team over IF Aurier but not going to turn the coins down right now.
Went with a ligue 1 starting team. Couldnt resist ben yedder. Cost me about 125k -
K navas
Bernat
Marquinhos
Kimpembe
Atal
Thiago Mendes
Gueye
Onyekuru
Draxler
Thauvin
Ben yedder
Robertson, K Navas and IF Lecompte.
120k worth of premier league fullbacks today. Already packed Shaw, Digne and Tierney this year. Fair few coins in Prem fullbacks
I played a couple of the friendly house rules games in the last hours of my trial last night. Really enjoyed Mystery Ball, but found the King of the Hill mode a bit irritating.
Picked up Nathan Ake for my Dutch team and he seems to be a very effective CB.
I went 2-1-2 in the rivals placement games, which landed me in Div 6 with a score of about 950.
The team now, all first owner:
Huge improvement on where I was 7 days ago, but a few obvious things to sort. Don't have a single decent RM or RW and still annoyed I put a bronze Norwich right winger into MM's as that would have kept Pukki on 10 chem while giving me more options in the middle. Rookie mistake. As it is I generally sub on Draxler for Lallana immediately. He's a bit slow, but can dribble well and has 5 star weak foot, which is schweet.
Bar putting a Sniper on Pukki I've done nothing with consumables as you can see, so that might be a job for this weekend. Have 20k coins in the bank and (I know I said this last week) but should get Elite 1 in SB this week, which is nice.
The OTW player could be huge and shape things in a different direction depending on who I pack. I have loads of options beyond what you see there, with over 550 players in the club, 196 of them gold ones.
Categorising the OTW's available:
Feeling if I packed them:
Fapping myself silly: Hazard, Griezzmann
Very happy with that: Ben Yeddder,
He'll do: Coutinho, De Jong, Jovic, Pepe, Lozano, Joao Felix,
Meh: Icardi, Lukaku, Rodri, Hernandez, Brandt, De Ligt, Wan-Bissaka, Pulisic.
Jesus fucking christ: Haller, Pedro Sarabia, Maguire, Barella, Joelinton, Other Hazard.
The odds are not good.
It took 13 hours, but I buckled and bought the full game at lunch.
I really like Rodri as my CDM. He feels pretty mobile on the ball for his size, strong and can pass. I wouldn’t mind him in mine.
He just doesn't strike me as the sort of player who is going to get (m)any IFs.
That said, I'm already looking at the categorizations and think I need to tweak it a bit.
Packed Lozano last night. He's fricking 20k+. I mean I have to sell, he'll never be this expensive again. And as a 82 I'll probably pack him over and over.
@Yevrah, fair enough! I was more thinking how useful he is.
Agree with selling there Trance, I sold Robertson and Cancelo for the same reason. I am expecting a dip in a couple of hours when people hammer OTW packs.
He might go up next week when his OTW is in packs.
They usually do but the overinflated prices now make it a tough call.
I need a good SBC to come out. I have about 100 84s ready to make me rich!
How in the fuck have you generated so much already? Dip in with a few packs to get things going?
I had about 25 in PSN credit so I bought some packs but I have been lucky since then. Robertson and Cancelo yesterday netted me over 100k, before that Ndombele 20k. That’s half of my investment already.
The rest has just been hammering out 84 trading since they are dirt cheap + game coins/coin rewards.
Fair enough. You should be well set now then.
If you have spare coins I would recommend 84s. They just can’t go lower.
