FIFA 21: Featuring the FUT 100

**Gray Fox** · 16-01-2021, 04:41 PM

2-0 start including a 9-1 and 6-0 win. Though my connection is horrible and I've had the red error thing atop my screen through most of both games. I'm now 99% sure it's my ISP. Unfortunately I'm stuck with them for a little bit longer. What's causing it is everyone is at some point through the day using a device. Sometimes it's only 1 or 2 but there are times all 5 in the house are on something, such as now.

Still, I'm starting to get used to doing the little things that can help win you a game or two more of a weekend. Defending with your CB is a big no no unless you really have to. I'm just getting that now. Using the bridge dribble also wrecked those 2 opponents. I need to do that more.

I was also thinking of a long term project. Unfortunately Cannavaro is only there for 23 days now. I was thinking Project Kaka. He'd also link Neymar in eventually when I can afford him.
There's only really 6 parts to his SBC when you think about it. With 7 weeks left I could potentially knock off a segment at a time each week and get him.

**Danny** · 16-01-2021, 04:51 PM

Dortmund draw. Haaland should drop.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 16-01-2021, 04:53 PM

Scoring only for the ref to bring it back for the penalty, which I subsequently missed

Thankfully Tavernier (who is amazing) scored a last minute winner to take the game 3-2.

Up to 7-2 which is my best start by far.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 16-01-2021, 08:26 PM

Just played someone who scored early against me and he ran around my defenders and then watched the replay. Was quite fun to see him rage quit in the 42nd minute when I made it 5-1.

**Gray Fox** · 16-01-2021, 10:20 PM

Realised I had an objective left not done to play a game of King of the Hill, so did that for a Gold pack, which gave enough to put into an 80+ upgrade. A nice Oblak waiting in there. I'd love to get him into the team but I don't know how to link it all.

Still I'm 7-1 now. I'd be 8-0 if not for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwrWOK-_MsM

Annoyingly I was on lates yesterday and earlies tomorrow and Monday so my play time will now have to be all of tomorrow evening. Not good for my chances of 16 wins.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 17-01-2021, 01:18 AM

After starting 7-2 I thought I'd finally break the 11-8 duck.

I haven't

11-8 although I'll push for 14 at the very least.

I was going to go for 16/17 for the extra red but I've just seen that the objective red pick is for this shitty TOTW.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 17-01-2021, 03:30 PM

And I've turned that into 14-8. Happy with that.

**Gray Fox** · 17-01-2021, 04:21 PM

I'm up to 9-1 and there are some very weird teams about. I'm hoping there's no loss streak soon as I don't have a lot of time for this after the Liverpool game.

Can't wait for my pick of 81s.

**Raoul Duke** · 17-01-2021, 06:21 PM

Did the new 82+ SBCs:

DF - Sirigu
MF - Pogba
AT - Luis Suarez (duplicate)

**Danny** · 17-01-2021, 06:38 PM

Very nice. I am saving these since there is nothing special in packs.

2 wins away from Sinkgravel. Going to hammed through it quickly before McTominay gets his upgrade and can no longer come off the bench to boss it.

**Yevrah** · 17-01-2021, 09:59 PM

Rinsed through my entire club (bar bronzes and silvers from the top 5 leagues) and I now have 50 80+ player picks for TOTY too.

If the prices of common and rare golds come down I'll do another 25 tomorrow and 25 on Tuesday to make it 100. That should take me down to about 7m coins, but I still have Tavanier and maybe Higuain to do.

**Gray Fox** · 17-01-2021, 11:47 PM

I should really not play so many games in a sitting but I had to rush them through. Ended up 17-7. I could feel myself playing rushed but I was getting more and more tired and kept switching off to it.

I left 3 games because I went down to multiple early goals. If time were on my side I'd have stayed and fought as I always do, but it was not. It felt daft staying on 16 wins so I pushed on.

My picks were all 81 rated shit. The reds I earn next weekend though will bring me enough to do the 86+ upgrade.

**Yevrah** · 18-01-2021, 10:41 PM

I think I'm done now.

Toggle Spoiler

Tav and Higuain done, 6.9m coins left and can't open any packs until TOTY due to the stored player picks. Bring it on.

**thommo** · 19-01-2021, 11:39 AM

I'm expecting some marathon streams coming up then Yev.

Found WL on Sunday very tough, coming up against some solid players and lots of Neymar and Mbappe, which was not a lot of fun. Scraped my way to 11-8 and called it a night. TOTT Immobile is pretty lethal though - 24 goals and 17 assists in the 19 games with him.

I'm back working on the Icon Swaps now and last night was a real toxic mess. Two opponents left after I dragged it back to 1-1, and then I lost 6-5 to someone who had 5 shots on target to my 21 (!) mainly thanks to Nick Pope once again proving he is an utter glitch in this iteration of FIFA.

**Raoul Duke** · 19-01-2021, 11:50 AM

TOTY announcement confirmed for Friday: https://www.ea.com/games/fifa/fifa-2...mate-team/toty

Also - patch is now out on console. RIP coloured balls, ye shall not be missed

**Gray Fox** · 19-01-2021, 12:19 PM

I’ve got Friday to Sunday off so I’ll be watching along. The past 2 times I’ve played through TOTY I’ve had Ramos. I hope that streak can keep alive.

**Yevrah** · 19-01-2021, 01:07 PM

There will be marathon streams gents. Still guessing we won't have the full team on Friday, so not sure exactly when they'll start.

**Gray Fox** · 19-01-2021, 06:13 PM

Decent looking Moments Kurzawa there for the Neymar/Mbappe user. A bit steep in price for my liking though.

**Danny** · 19-01-2021, 06:17 PM

Repeatable base/mid icon SBC....

How many of those will Yev get through.

**Yevrah** · 19-01-2021, 06:17 PM

Repeatable Base or mid icon pack for 30 days.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 19-01-2021, 06:22 PM

Hadn't seen that they were repeatable.

Yev to get mid Gullit, R9, Zidane, Pele, Vieira etc etc.

**Yevrah** · 19-01-2021, 06:31 PM

Yes please.

Based on what I packed from what I opened in 2019, I think I'll get the following this time round:

You're probably looking at being able to do about 10 of those at least should I wish to.

**Yevrah** · 19-01-2021, 06:53 PM

Who's winning that awful team event?

**Danny** · 19-01-2021, 08:06 PM

Last I checked was Rivaldo. I took Matthaus.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 19-01-2021, 08:16 PM

I took Matthaus, I haven't looked at it at all though.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 20-01-2021, 12:22 AM

In the process of Bronze & Silver Upgrades.

Just got an 82 IF Belhanda from one.

**Yevrah** · 20-01-2021, 01:06 AM

How are the packs looking Mahow?

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 20-01-2021, 01:16 AM

Touch under 260. Haven't done as much as I'd like but I finished a run through of the Saudi league before sinking resources into the upgrades.

I've got 15 PP's so far too and I'd like to get that up to at least 20.

Will also try and work through some select league SBC's with a high VFC,

**Yevrah** · 20-01-2021, 01:25 AM

260 should give you about 500 with recycling, should be enough to give you a decent chance.

**Raoul Duke** · 20-01-2021, 07:36 AM

Are you guys planning on buying much if/when there's a price crash? I'm watching VVD, Varane, RTTF Promes and Mbappe. Can't quite afford all of them so trying to wait for the right time to get involved.

**thommo** · 20-01-2021, 10:50 AM

I would love Headliners Goretzka - currently sitting at about 480k on Xbox so I'll keep an eye on that. Other than that, not really, maybe RTTF Klostermann.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 20-01-2021, 07:26 PM

I don't get why Pogba is in the TOTW. Unless they're now including midweek games.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 20-01-2021, 07:33 PM

Although the Burnley game was 8 days ago...

**Danny** · 20-01-2021, 08:39 PM

Yeah thats an odd one. I assumed it was for that game but didnt realize it was that long ago.

**Yevrah** · 20-01-2021, 09:02 PM

Those player picks mean I can't store any players in my club, be it from objectives or SBC's. They just get shunted to the back of them and I can only see the first 50.

**thommo** · 20-01-2021, 09:07 PM

Can you not just click the right trigger to send them to club or does it not apply to them as they're out of your vision? Or can you do it on the web app?

**Yevrah** · 20-01-2021, 09:30 PM

Yeah, doesn't apply as you can't see them and can only see 50 items on the web app too, which are also all player picks.

No biggie, just means I can't use Tavernier, Higuain or the silver star for a bit.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 21-01-2021, 01:14 PM

Ajorque and Koopmeiners for my red picks.

Almost went for Jovic instead of Koop (I have his 82 as red too) but I was too scarred after his OTW shambles last year.

**Danny** · 21-01-2021, 02:08 PM

Saved a few packs over this week for TOTY. Crazy how quick you can stack packs on this game without even really doing anything.

Gold Pack x2
Premium Gold Jumbo x2
Rare Gold Pack x2
Mega Pack
Rare Mega Pack x2
Two Rare Gold Mega x2
75+ Player x6
85+ Rare Players 5 Pack
83+ Rare Players 25 Pack
82+ Rated Attacker x 3
82+ Rated Midfielder x 3
82+ Rated Defender x 3

I am also 2 rivals wins from a Jumbo Rare Players Pack and 4 live friendlies wins away from a Jumbo Rare Players Pack and then the Ultimate Pack for completing the set. This will be done over the next couple of days. Especially the latter as people will leave very quickly in silver lounge.

**Gray Fox** · 21-01-2021, 05:04 PM

Red Ndombele and Ben Yedder for me. Obviously very happy with the latter. Rare to get the best TOTW player from a given week(arguable if it's Pogba).

No packs open yet, but I have a sneaky feeling we wont get TOTY tomorrow. Perhaps the announcement of the team itself and maybe a 12th man vote in some way. I see it as something like getting the defence Monday - Tuesday. Midfielders Wednesday - Thursday and then forwards Thursday - Friday with all then dropping until Monday.

**Danny** · 21-01-2021, 05:16 PM

Would be odd for them to count down to tomorrow and then bump it to Monday imo. Though that is their normal release schedule but I think it was based upon the actual awards/release date in prior years.

Maybe pulling back your daily layout but starting tomorrow.

**Yevrah** · 21-01-2021, 05:58 PM

Yeah, I think we'll get to see who is in the full team, a 12th man vote and the attackers tomorrow, with the regular pattern kicking in from there.

**Yevrah** · 21-01-2021, 05:58 PM

It's also just dawned on me that I'm gonna have to do Marquee Matchups this week with almost no suitable players for it.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 21-01-2021, 06:05 PM

CSL (and to a lesser extent Liga MX) dropping after I purged all non-rare bronzes apart from those in the top 5 leagues hurts me.

Can't even open bronze packs right now.

**Raoul Duke** · 21-01-2021, 06:06 PM

84+ PP (non-repeatable). Worth doing and saving for tomorrow

**Yevrah** · 21-01-2021, 06:15 PM

I did the same. Should be able to whizz through La Liga though, buying the golds needed, which is sweet.

**Sir Andy Mahowry** · 21-01-2021, 06:55 PM

Purged all non-rare golds and I've only got 100k on hand right now.

Although it might be enough, especially if I don't have to buy any bronze/silvers.

**Yevrah** · 21-01-2021, 09:53 PM

Bronze packs in that CSL SBC.

**Gray Fox** · 21-01-2021, 10:17 PM

I'm now off til Monday afternoon so some TOTY shenanigans best had happen.

I've just not got enough for VVD and opening my packs should take me over that limit, but I'll regret it on the very small chance I'd pull a TOTY potentially tomorrow. He is a pace downgrade, but everything else is a lot better.

**Danny** · 21-01-2021, 10:41 PM

Turns out I am 20 (was 24 when I noticed) wins away from the SB's ultimate pack. Looks like we have some AFK games coming up over the weekend.
