Sancho for me. Which is nice.
Sancho for me. Which is nice.
A few versions ago they just gave you the cards - now you have to dick about with SBCs and admin rather than just playing the game
Sane done in the nick of time. Jesus that was tedious and it didn't even take that long.
97 Kane objectives (easy) and 94 Meunier SBC (81 rated)
Hopefully, they get rid of that stupid mechanic where if your opponent is keeping possession, your player's go full-on team press. I understand why they do that, but fucking with my team's playstyle isnt the solution. The AI should take over your opponents player and just kick the ball out of play.
Its foolish
Kane looks good. Luckily I kept hold of my 83 Rashford who should be able to take care of this
Did an Icon moments to get rid of that Sommer and ended up with Kluivert. Obviously hopeful when I saw Dutch but when I saw ST I really wanted Ruud.
Salah from the 90+ pick sbc. And it's repeatable.
I am going to wait until rewards tomorrow to do it. I am away from the PS until Monday night so wont even make a dent in Kane until then.
I did a 90+ pick and had Kovacic, Hummels and Zaha. Went with Hummels as my BuLi team needed CBs.
I tend to find tha Player Picks are usually pretty decent so will try and get a few more done.
I got Thiago, Greenwood and Brandt.
Dogshit.
And only PIM pack done to date, Deco.
Coins > 81+ Double Upgrade Packs > 5x 82+ Upgrade packs.

Ben Yedder from an 81+
Did another as I got Biscuits from a random objective pack and managed to turn him into Jonathon David Rolled again and had a choice between some shitter, 95 Der Stegen and 95 Vardy. Took the latter as he should be handy for the Kane objectives and his 87 was a club legend before being sacrificed at the altar of SBCs
Results of today's uber-grind.
Spent about 500k on rare golds to get the following:
Obviously Ben Yedder makes it, but there are a couple of other decent players in there as well as a few I'd have bought anyway.
Down to my last 600k of coins now, which I'll probably sit on to make sure I have enough to see out the last few SBC's and have something in the bank in case they make SBC's even better after Friday (which with another few weeks of this season left had better not be it for special players in packs).
89 Chiellini and Birthday Gaitan from SBs. Should help with some of the SBCs over the next week. Doubt I’ll touch Arthur. Current midfield in Serie A is Eriksen, Kessie and Seasons Matuidi.
Double 92+ repeatable sbc. I've got nothing left that I'm comfortable with departing with. Could sell Eusebio and whore this out and see what I get.
I got Arthur and Douglas Costa as the hyperlinks are interesting. Played a guy earlier who had Costa up front which is an intriguing idea
Very. With his massive 78 finishing (before chem)
Stick a Deadeye on him and he's fine
Did the double 92 using a duplicate Depay and pulled Depay and Ignacio Fernández who looks nuts.
Did it twice.
Rubbish and duplicate the first time and CM Henderson and someone else half decent the second.
I've got so many TOTS now that it's probably not worth doing again. Maybe the 90+ PP.
Here's a question. What's better?
Birthday Bale and the Icon/PIM pack or circa 110k of coins (for selling the Birthday Bale) and 95 Bale.
Got to do Kane tonight and I'm already dreading it.
I would be going for 95 bale but I think it depends on the position you need?
Just finished Kane while on a call and moved upto Division 3 for, I think, the first time this year.
95 has better stats, but then the FB one has a 5 star weak foot.
4 vs 5 Rather than his normal 3* WF.
I would take the extra stats over that 1*. If he had the 3* I think I would say birthday.
Most of the Kane objectives are fine but the "score X type of retarded goal" are a massive pain
Handanovic into the 94+ and I get Carvahal back out of it.
Got TOTS Thiago and TOTS Gulasci from my rewards this morning. Pumped them into the 94+ upgrades as I have 96 Thiago and TOTS Sommer
Gulasci turned into TOTS Havertz (happy with that but struggles to get my team with UCL Goretzka, SH Delaney and Thiago)
Thiago turned into TOTS Carvahal (duplicate)
Carvahal turned into Depay (duplicate)
Turned off the PS4 in frustration
Powered through the Kane objectives this evening, which wasn't actually that bad in the end. Had a few enjoyable games and got to help some guy out in my last game once I got a goal with Rashford. His Rooney scoring 10 over ninety minutes
Did the 94+ and got Ziyech. Looks great and goes well with my Donny VD Beek but I don't think I'll ever really play either of them, which is ludicrous when you think of the cards.
The power curve now means you'll always be up against god squads, but imagine packing Mbappe or CR7 early on in the game. You'd absolutely monster most teams full of common gold shitmunchers.
Doing Kane now. I hate this game.
Tackles bouncing straight back to the opposition, lag and every fucker with 10 men behind the ball.
7 games in and only two wins so far, with two 2 goal leads spunked.
They really have to address that in FIFA 21. Having 10 men behind the ball is shocking to play against.
Early signs don't look good though. The FIFA 21 previews so far, the depth still has 10 bars of customization and you can still put come back on defence on all midfield players and strikers.
I'll try not to be too intolerable while you're all playing it, but it's going to be a bit shit. We all know that already.
It's going to be basically the same - but Career Mode looks interesting enough that I'll definitely give that a bash.
Rinsed a few more.
Another Sommer, who I then turned into Salvio (again but not a dupe). Also did the pre season challenge and got TOTS 94 SMS. Not use for him so he will probably end up going soon too.
I've been enjoying the 82+ upgrade pack.
Half decent pack and you can go again by just buying a few 79s.
So many duplicates now though as I'm basically card collecting.
Kane done. As much fun as drowning I'd imagine.
97 Buffon SBC (83 squad, 50 chem) and 95 Werner Objective - pretty similar to Kane in terms of requirements, maybe a bit easier and will take a few more games as you need goals from Premier league and German forwards. Might be able to build a funky hybrid
Just a small FYI but you might want to hold off on buying FIFA 21 at launch if you're on Xbox.
EA's subscription service will be merging with Microsoft Game Pass in November so you can get FIFA and many other games including any Microsoft exclusives (Halo etc.) for a fiver a month.
Why are there no special players in packs?
