    It's better.

    463 card stats for prime v 467 on the baby
    2167 in game stats for prime v 2190 on the baby.

    It was the same last year too.

    The defensive and physicals stats are better on the prime (pretty much all +1s) and then the baby is better on the ball. Probably very fair to say its better since defending on this game is just shit in general.

    I am thinking Koeman and Zambrotta from swaps. Why not add Gattuso.

    I've sold De Bruyne, Reus and Aguero.

    Reus and De Bruyne were too hot and cold during WL and although Aguero was (I believe) our top scorer I want to see what TOTY and next week officially brings.

    Up to 520k with 30 odd packs although I'm going to go in hard with some SBCs tomorrow I think.

    They'd have to make that card a 99 before it was worth bothering with.

    If the stamina was 80 I'd be in I think.

    I was playing much better in WL when I was using the Zidane loan next to Kante as a deep lying playmaker, although it might have been doing so well because it's Zidane with custom animations et al. I am thinking of buying a Pirlo card though.

    Seems to be a lot of players in the Flashback pool that they use almost every year.

    Rooney is another.

    Players like Iniesta and especially pirlo don't really transition well into FIFA games.

    Churned through 15 games on the bounce last night to get to 14-11. Lost at least 3 games due to poor finishing and/or stupid mistakes at the back, which does give me hope that I can push for 17 and eventually 20 wins in a Weekend League in the future. Had one truly awful game against the sweatiest 5-at-the-back, drop back, 1 depth team I've ever seen - and the guy was incredible at defending, cutting passing lanes all the time and bullying my frontline. I had 60%+ possession and still got tonked 7-0. I needed a few minutes away from the screen after that.

    Pirlo does this year apparently purely because he doesnt have 50 speed.

    Im staying well away from him. I dont even want to test him. I want that 90 Gerrard or 89 Ballack next to my Kante for the foreseeable future.

    Yeah, assumed he'd be in an SBC for a shit price, hence my lukewarm response yesterday. Perfectly acceptable card for those objectives.

    Only two Squad Battles wins away from getting him now.

    That Suarez (despite the untradeable packs, which really needs to stop) is also great news. With the packs I have saved it means I should be able to get him when I open them at the very least.

    I've got enough packs (albeit not as many as last year) that it's probably worth a stream again this. Will get on it this weekend if the whole team is out by then.

    Probably. I imagine the pack weight is shocking. What is 1m FP in £$€?

    I think Castro spent about 800k and I saw something saying Bateson had over 1m.

    Does it look exactly the same as that if you do pack one?

    I don't know what packing a toty looks like, but you see blue and for a moment, you think you have made it. Why are those blue champ league cards in packs anyway, they are a waste of time.

    On pack odds, I posted this last year:

    Quote Originally Posted by Yevrah View Post

    He opened as many as 2,400 packs in the end through recycling the cards and did pull 8 (yes eight) TOTY players (some were duplicates), but not a single icon. Not one.

    He also got fucked over by EA for doing too many SBC's, which is even more ludicrous than the transfer ban.


    What does this mean? I think I've sussed the odds.

    As a comparison to what I did, it took him well over 350 specific league player packs before he got his first toty from them - of the 479 packs I opened, only 149 of them were specific league player packs.

    If it was 350 exactly to pack one then his hit rate was less than 0.3%, which from those upgrade packs I could believe. I think it took Nepenthez 500 La Liga upgrade packs to get Varane x 2, which would obviously be 0.4% bang on, and christ knows how many two player upgrade packs it took Nick to get Kante.

    From this (obviously relatively small sample size admittedly) I'm reasonably comfortable in saying that the chance to pack a TOTY from the league upgrade player packs was no worse than 0.25%, but that probably doesn't count the Serie A ones, which I think would be below 0.1% to get Ronaldo.

    So if it was 0.25%, you'd need to open 400 Premium League packs to statistically expect one, obviously you might be 'unlucky' and need to open more, but 400 should do it.

    400 of those packs equates to 10,000,000 coins worth, or 140,000 FIFA Points, or £840 (with the EA discount). But, (and it's a big but) that many coins, FIFA Points or pounds only buys you 80 Ultimate Packs and as we said before, we know the odds of packing a TOTY player from one of those packs is less than 1% and you'd need to open at least 100 to expect to pull one.

    It's at this point I realise you can scrap what I said above, the odds from those packs is actually lower than 0.25% and Nepenthez and this Twitter chap actually got lucky packing what they did so soon.

    I mean, sweet mother of God. It also explains perfectly why I didn't pack one (or get a real meta player), I simply didn't have enough packs to tip the odds in my favour. Which I knew, but what I didn't know is that I didn't actually have enough not only by half, but not even by a third.

    Ignoring the Serie A packs, I think the actual odds of getting a TOTY from a Premium EPL or La Liga upgrade pack (probably Ligue 1 as well) was somewhere between 0.1% and 0.2%. That's 500 to 1,000 packs, 12.5m to 25m coins worth, 175,000 to 350,000 FIFA Points or in something that actually matters, £1,050 to £2,100.

    This would also put the odds of the Ultimate Packs at somewhere from opening 100 to 200 of them, or if you prefer, 0.5% to less than 1%....
    I would suspect it'll be half that this year, so 0.25% to 0.5% chance, or £2k to £4k. Given only 3 players are in packs at the moment and I worked that out when all 12 were, I could easily see how six grand could have been spunked on packs yesterday and not one pulled.

    90 David Luiz SBC: Seems expensive and untradeable rewards again. Fuck off EA.
    90 David Luiz SBC Loan: 75 rated squad with a brick slot. Fuck off EA.
    TOTY Challenge: Not bad, but untradeable. Fuck off EA.
    Xmas Kit SBC: Fuck off EA.
    83 rated guaranteed: 82 squad needed. Fuck off EA.

    Just dogshit really. I seriously do not want to buy this game next year and I feel genuinely close to not doing so.

    How would anyone go about buying the best team possible quickly with an unlimited wallet? It sounds like it would literally take hours.

    Buy fifa points and quicksell everything less than 1000 coins your way to 20m?

    Just finished him. Not a bad card for objectives but I hate the fading that goes outside of the border on the card design.

    I used the loan card for about half a game before my opponent quit and he seemed lovely on the ball. He'll likely only be SBC fodder for me though long term.
