His 85 was a decent enough card earlier on, I recall
His 85 was a decent enough card earlier on, I recall
Just done both of them again as they look like cracking cards for good prices.
Ibra and Kubo done as well and onto the last legs of Mendy and Fernandes.
2 games left of on Bruno. Might wait for the next one to finish up.
Started picking up players to use once this cycle is over. There's a risk I might be able to get them cheaper if they put all cards in packs, but as I was back up to 2m coins felt Kane's 93 for 60k and Sterling's Headliner for 70k was worth a dip.
Also picked up Jermain Defoe for basically discard as well.
Diaby finally upgraded, well, apart from his pace, which claims 99 but both stats are still 98.
Mertens up to 91 and Sauls HL up to 89. Picked one of those up.
Rinsed some shitters through the upgrades and got a couple of nice pulls and dupes so I did Fabinho. Want Liverpool to win for once.
Might make SBC grinding less...grindy: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...r5i/wait_what/
Took them long enough.
Kimpembe would be a bit of a kick in the teeth but I'd likely grab him in case I fancy giving five at the back a go, but the other two would be bloody great. I was torn voting, actually, for what difference it makes. Mendes would undoubtedly upgrade on Andre, but Andrew is a bit of an underused beast in my book. Balde's weak foot would give him the edge over Raphinha too.
Unfortunately I think Kimpembe will win it.
I voted for him because I have too many Central midfielders for Ligue 1 as it is and I have TOTS Di Maria on the right.
We really don't need another Brazilian midfielder (even if he does look like a cool Prince impersonator)
Is it possible to double-dip on the Bruno/Mendy objectives?
You mean set a team up with Bruno and Mendy in it? Yeah, absolutely.
Mendy
- 5 Rival wins = 85
- 10 Rivals with 85 and 6 La Liga = 87
- 12 Rivals with 87 and 6 French = 89
Fernandes
- 5 Rival wins = 90
- 8 Rivals with 90 and 6 Prem = 91
- 10 Rivals with 91 and 4 Portuguese = 92
Those two probably offer the best overlap, thinking about it. Cheeky French/Prem combo.
I've now done Fabinho and Fernandes, meaning I have no idea what my first choice centre-mid pairing is. It's out of Kante / Bruno / Fred / Fabinho / TAA / Pogba and could probably chuck in Sissokho / Firmino / Scholes / Gattuso and Bergkamp as other options. For two spaces, as I mainly use wingers
How are they doing the upgrades on those Showdown cards? Is it as simple as whichever player's team wins gets an upgrade?
That Fabinho looks almost perfect for my CDM spot as he is now so I'll be doing him anyway, but if the upgrade system is that simple I'll be popping it on now and doing him and Foden over breakfast.
I believe it's 1-point upgrade to both cards if the teams draw and 3-points to the winner, if there is one
Assuming they boost his attributes properly in line with a three point rating boost that Fabinho will be game breaking if Liverpool win.
I think it's not quite straightforwards, judging from the comments on the BuLi one
I get there is a set of silver objectives and that the card is actually outrageous for his '74' rating but two 83s seems a little excessive.
I love the card, but I'm not doing it as a point of principle as they've clearly released it to stop people using them for SBC fodder when they're bored with it.
Fuck that shit.
Anyone on Xbox fancy doing that silver thing together?
Someone on reddit said playing with a friend doesnt work but if it does then I would be down to do that with someone on PS4.
That 74 rating has got to be a fuckup. 97 strength is mega. Think I might do it as I've only got Hakimi out on my RM position in my Bundesliga team and I packed a Havertz earlier.
I am just hoping we get a monster Greenwood from it (esp since they like to bring cards back)
Silver objective done in 5 games.
I saw this a bit too late:

If Dembele doesn't win that I'm going to cry.
It would certainly make 93 Mendy easier. I’d love him as an alternative to Payet, albeit it would necessitate some position change / tactics shenanigans that I hate doing to keep Osimhen on full chem then. Saying that, Osimhen is good enough on 8 chem anyway... I just hate having to use up tactic slots on swapping around.
This is annoying. Had he come out before I did Militao, I’d likely have taken him and ran Modric on 8 chem, but there’s no benefit to Kimpembe over Sarr or Militao. Little salty he got it, given Sarr was out only a week or so ago.
I’ve not even played since Sat. Definitely not getting 21 until it’s reduced or on EA Access again.
Did some SBCs earlier:
- Shapeshifter Gueye
- OTW De Ligt
- TOTW Kolarov
- TOTW Jimenez
- Some 87-rated guy called De La Cruz (Libertadores)
Not a bad haul
I'm running seriously low on cards right now, need to get back into BPM, but lost the motivation somewhat while this best of draws to an end.
I don't have enough to do all of the current SBC's though without dipping into the coins and that seems like such a waste. I guess I could try gold pack method.
Has anyone here been doing that?
Did the party bag as I had a few duplicates and got HL 90 Sterling. Not too shabby.
Maybe I should have done Foden aswell....
Anyone else been given free cards today?
Just logged in and got a message saying they were sorry for recent issues, thanks for my patience, there’s cards waiting for me. When I went to the unassigned, I had 2 x 91 rated Lisandro Lopez, both tradeable.
I'll have a look.
That sounds odd as fuck.
Nothing on the web app for me.
You packed his base card when you should have got his special card.
Nothing for me.
Quite horny for tonight's content though.
Yeh I assumed it was that I’d packed his normal one in error. Must be ages ago... and why two of them waiting for me?
Either way, I’m happy enough, that’s 90k worth. Sold one and will use the other as fodder I guess.
And there's nothing...
Summer Heat Ribery been added a bit late. Looks filthy but expensive.
Mbabu and Pope added late
That Mbabu looks bonkers
Pope is decent fodder for not much work too.
Hopefully, Dembele wins tomorrow. It will probably be saint maxim though. Ribery looks good and mbabu for little work is a great deal.
The stat upgrade on Foden isn't really concomitant with a three point overall upgrade from what I remember, but it's good enough that I'm a bit miffed at having missed out now that Pope is out and piss easy to do. With Campbell still hanging around and Richarlison being the bollocks, along with some players I've been keeping around for potential SBC fodder I could have built a nifty Premiership team.
Some great scenes in the Duke household this morning - did a few SBCs and pulled:
- Birthday Saint-Maximin
- Gold Courtous
- TOTW Bartra
Really tempted to sell ASM but he looks bonkers and that 5* 5* makes me tingle. He's going for 760k though
He's absolute mustard (I packed him untradeable during FUT Birthday) and he's still up with the power curve, but I would sell him now and buy him back in a week or so. He'll be much cheaper by then, even more so if he wins that SBC vote.
