Seems like saving up for TOTS is the best thing for now
Seems like saving up for TOTS is the best thing for now
It does seem so.
The rumour is TOTS could come as early as in 2 weeks time. Though if I remember last year, the TOTS cards were not actually as juiced as they usually were. I'm just hoping they keep them as red picks. I do remember WL becomes a sweat fest during it though.
One thing I have noticed with this Mbappe is the power curve. I've always said team doesn't make too much difference to you. Where you will notice it is in those games where it's a tight matchup skill wise. A better team can sometimes drag you over the line against a better player. Having now used Mbappe, if this is what the gold card felt like at the start of the game it's a joke.
I'd love to know what adding in multiple TOTY cards in one go in a January feels like. If I do end up playing '23, that's got to be the aim.
I think it makes a huge difference - imagine pulling Gold Mbappe on day 1. You'd monster people with a load of 78-rated cloggers at the back and that would set you up for better rewards and would compound over time. By TOTY everyone already has pretty great teams and so they don't make as big a difference
Rat Kent is back. 84 and 85.
Mbappe has always just been built different.
Kent has spiked PIM Beckham by like 80k from when I checked him yesterday
They've released PIM Owen alongside Prime Puskas SBCs. My gripe is you get 90 days to do Owen, who is 450k. Puskas is 1.2m and you get 30 days...
As if Kent wasn't bad enough...Originally Posted by Danny
Get rAtal in there too and the dream front 3 is here.
I didnt even know he was a captain.
That Lloris he posted looks good. I would be tempted with him. Mings and Koke look decent if uninspiring too.
Looks like we are getting Barnes vs Goetze and Laporte vs Jones (flash back to his player pick)
Now why do they have to go and do that Jones card. That wont be cheap either. 86 and 87 for that I reckon.
The others seem to almost need that upgrade to be properly good cards.
Been playing some rivals as I'm getting closer on some milestones and the mode is a bit of a mess. It's almost become golden goal at times.
I have had zero drive to actually play the game since Friday. So as usual I am in need of 8 rivals games by tomorrow night.
Ill take GG's
Seems like Mark Noble is getting a card. I am right up for that.
I’d get cracking now. Hopped on for 30 mins before leaving for work and got 4 RQs inside the opening 30 mins of those games. Then had two proper tense close ones.
I think I need like 12 first owner wins to get the first owner rivals milestones wrapped up. Should be a good couple of packs with that.
Helps that my entire squad page is first owner now. Although other than Lafont, Cafu and Mendes they’re all SBCs. Could be argued the last two are as well.
Same here. I prefer to go that way when I can.
Even better now when TOTS is coming and the market is dying.
I hope you still have your Sterlings Danny. He's in TOTW so his price is going to go up.
I might save what few packs I have for after Friday 6pm. Things like this are too tempting to not try for:
I got out of them all at 35k last week.
Now extra sad that we already got a Beckham SBC.
Okay definitely holding packs back until Friday at the least.
I'm sceptical though for 2 reasons. Firstly, they massively inflated the last prime/moments SBC price because of the added moments cards. Secondly I bet they put a reduced time on them, instead of letting them run to the end of the game like they should.
Yeah, the shitters will get the Owen time frame. Anything good will be short.
I have 20+ packs waiting until Friday. Means I will have to buy some fodder to do Barnes/Gotze if I decide to but they are cheap enough.
Weghorst upgrade incoming.
Marcelo is going to be bonkers
I managed to get his TOTY card in '19 and it's honestly one of the best cards I've ever used full stop. So good that I had to move him into CM/CAM every game. That new one looks even better as well. Mental. If he keeps his 5* SM he'll be everyones LB for the rest of the game.
Judging by Twitter a lot of people are upset with Richarlison and Pavard not getting their upgrades. Therein lies the gamble of the showdown SBC. My way of looking at it was always, would you be happy with the card with no upgrade? If so, get it completed.
Great to see Fabio is getting a +2. I've brought him on a few times in Rivals to test him. He needs that boost to his reactions really and could use a little more pace, but with a Maestro on now, he's already a 95 rated CAM in game.
8 secured but 2 wins away from Elite. Pass on playing on more so should get there next week.
More importantly, a Fabio upgrade to 89.
I've not played at all this week after going 11-6 in WL on Sunday night. Might try and get Yarmolenko done this afternoon - good to see both Eriksen and Lucas are up to 92, really makes my Prem team a viable first XI option now.
Oooh I very much like the colour change on upgrade. Where my Fabio upgrade at?!
That Lucas looks nuts now btw Thomma. You must play him.
Jones out and looking like 200k.
Laporte around 215/220 I think.
Hold me
Lucas does look insane. I really have to start him for WL.
Both look utterly mediocre. No thanks.
I am pretty sure showdowns are getting upgrades 8th and 12th
Yeah, reckon I'll have to do that
Bastian is a monster too but its Becks first him second (maybe)
RIP Kent upgrade. Ugh.
I did the Braga lad at 5:30pm just to chuck some of the transfer list fodder in there.
Hmmm that Jones is cheaper than I thought, though the card isn't as juiced as I expected. It's decent, but only with the +2 would it look great.
I feel obliged to complete it either way, but I see they've chosen to reduce the defensive stats on him this time around. Much more of an attacking CM and not a box to box guy this time.
Gets into Gullit gang with a win
If I never see a game of Rivals again it will be too soon. I dont know which youtuber or pro has just started using 5 at the back but it's now everywhere in elite division.
I must have played close to 30 games since yesterday, with a lot of quits in there to boot. 4 whole wins. My team suddenly feels like crap and opposition goalkeepers are on PEDs. My Lafont seemingly is on strike for a pay rise too.
Absolutely turgid run of games.
That sounds like the worst.
Captains promo looks likes its brought some decent cards.
Daily cheap as chips 81+ packs. Would recommend atleast getting on the web app for those.
I had several games where I went 1-0 up and just could not get the 2nd for the life of me. Then after half time everything would change and I'd crumble. At one point I had to check I wasn't facing the same people over again.
This promo has brought some of what I like to see into it. Make random/lesser players good and useful! But I do feel the boosts could have been a smidge higher and maybe chuck in some WF/SM upgrades?
I suppose I'll open my packs now, though in reality there's only Di Natale, The rat, Quags or Milito that'd be of much use to my team.
A Casemiro and a Son in my saved packs. No special cards at all though. Not even a couple discard IF cards I usually get from these.
That’ll likely go into Jones after I check what teams I need for these new modes.
I have a dupe alvarez blocking my packs. Was hoping for Beckham today so I could start that but it wasn’t to be.
Hero cup thing needs gold, TOTW, Reds and new promo cards
Stindl is players from a single club
Right, having utterly exhausted Elden Ring it might be time for a return to FIFA. But I think I quite fancy going for a career mode game with Norwich. 6 minute halves, Legendary difficulty (but with that competitive mode bullshit off) and no simming.
Not tempted back to FUT for TOTS in a few weeks?
I think I'll at least wait until we get to the best of, but for the first time in years I genuinely feel like I'm not arsed at all.
Did Stindl earlier today with a Utd team. Bit shit that you have to fill out a bench too as that means you end up getting bent over by people selling shitters at extortionate rates. I actually think I made a profit on the ones I bought though, so maybe I'm the weasel?
Saw a lot of Dortmund, Chelsea and Milan teams
I am doing it with United too. Figured a pre owned Ronaldo and the special silvers would make life a bit easier.
Bastian tonight, going to be a test of how they price these SBCs. He is down to 800k from over 1m earlier this week.
I went with Madrid. Rodrygo and Vini up top as LF and RF. There are very few defenders that can cope with them that are less than 85 rated. I've probably lost tax on them but that's about it.
Debating whether or not Courtois is resold or put into Jones.
Bastian looks a good card if you switch him to CM, but then this is the main problem with that: https://www.futbin.com/22/compare/24642/24921
Cali also got another +1 today for his 3rd appearance. So the difference in anything but workrates should be negligible.
Double upgrade for Leeds Rodrigo. Nice untradeable for me.
Fernandinho looks a bit meh. Stamina lets it down
If you use him as a stay back CDM (and he actually stays) he should be, in theory, better than every Kante up to TOTY but Kante is obviously built different in this game.
