And people say fifa is on it’s ass!!

Lads, here’s something worth investing in, the daily sbc’s have pretty much been following what they used last year, today I bought a few serie a rm and they all sold for 1k profit.

Get prem cms or Ivory Coast wingers, Gervinho is at discard price on bid.

Aurier should be safe as houses as covers the prem links, links to any Ivory Coast players and has a high rating for these sbc’s. Pricier at 1.3k but people love packs and tomorrow is payday (rewards) so people do Sbc’s

edit: bamba of Cardiff city is available at 650 on bid, go nuts! Buy 20, 30, 40 if you have the space

Lord TSC

Aurier fits my usual trading anyway, so grabbed a few. Will grab a few Bambas and Gervinhos too though

Lord TSC

lol, bought 8 Aurier, already flipped one for 3300 coins anyway :P

I also have grabbed a few IFs to fill up my TP again a bit. Some new 81s and 82s available on bid at 12k, and given my usual suspects are a bit too expensive to restock currently, thats a safe-ish bet.

Pyjamarama

Neymar Carniball is unreal... i've never played with a player that felt so smooth. I can only imagine what his TOTY card is like. This is the team i'm rocking atm tho i defo need to upgrade at rb and for Fabinho. Think i'll just grab Fabinhos UCL Live card tho, its fairly likely to get another upgrade and i do really enjoy using his base card.

They’ve restructured the rivals leagues, just got some pop up when I logged in, up to div 4 now

Yep I spent the week getting relegated down to division 5 so I wouldn't have to slog it out next week with a weak team and I end up back in division 2 haha.

Lord TSC

Awful red picks means I got Rondon as my best player TWICE.

AND I got an untradeable Rondon in my packs too.

That said, I did pack DDG which was incredible cause five minutes earlier I had decided to grab him for the weekend

RossieMan

4 85s from WL rewards. Got FUT birthday Primes and IF Delay from rivals so not all bad. It's just a pity it's always been super subs I end up packing, never anyone to improve the side.

Your going to have to wait a while to get that card!!!!

wong

Got lucky with my rewards today. Crap player picks but got IF Jordi Alba, IF Zahavi, Neuer and Alderweireld.


Has anyone used Alba before? Worth trying to shoehorn into my team?

Hogey007

Seems a fair enough reason for the changes to rivals

https://www.ea.com/games/fifa/fifa-19/news/division-rivals-update

witnessrenegade

Is it confirmed that tomorrow we will get three more players in Weekly Objectives? The three current ones aren't appealing for my team, hoping for a Bundesliga one

Didn't play WL so no rewards, took the coins for rivals

RedRochey

EA said there will be 21 players in packs (already there), 21 player SBCs (FB Villa, FB Vidal, FB Esswein, FB Doumbia, Perisic, Willian, Werner) so 14 left, and 6 objectives (Zlatan, Naldo, Gervinho) so 3 left

Edit: 21 SBCs include 10 prime icons so there's 4 non-icon SBCs left

Nice one, hoping for decent LB, Defender or CDM from the Bundesliga

RedRochey

I'd guess out of the 4 sbcs left there would 2 flashbacks and 2 birthday players, flashbacks could be anyone but the for birthday players we've already have SBCs for BPL, Bunds and Seria A so will probable be la liga and ligue 1

Lord TSC

I can't see me finishing the MLS objective today. Only 2 wins, and I'm getting streams of teams with Ronaldo or Mbappe now in them, who tear apart crap defenses.

Should have done MLS first since Ibra could have actually been used then in the French and Italian objectives. Still, Naldo and Gervinho look good to shave 40-50k off an icon, probably Blanc.

I've got just under 800k in my coin balance now, and could probably hit the million if I sold everything up. I really want that IF Ronaldo, but I'm also really tempted to do Blanc, cause I think I'd only need to invest about 300k. But...Ronaldo.

Lord TSC

Smalling back down to discard. Last two nights, he's jumped massively just after 6 (Wednesday, he jumped to 3k, and last night hovered round 2.5k for a bit). Not sure if it will happen a third night, but given he was still ticking over for 2000 coins before and he's literally no risk, grabbing 20 of him.

Also have 40 Auriers ready to go too :P

RossieMan

Why aurier if you don't mind me asking?

He's not an easy nation to link. Surely bellerin is a better option?

Based on the tip from Hogey in post 3. Looks like tonight's SBC will be based on Yaya, so Aurier provides links with the Ivory Coast nationality, has a decent rating, and can be got relatively risk free; I've picked mine up for round 1k, already sold 2 for 3300 coins, and he'll get a bump tonight if the SBC is Yaya.

If he doesn't, it will only take a few cycles to get that 1k back too. Don't usually follow twitter accounts but figure it could be an interesting punt for tonight.

Has anyone tried the 92 rated Michael Laudrup icon?

Nope and the reason been he just doesn't make much sense to me even tho he is remarkably cheap there are better cam that can pass and are better at shots then him.

Any CAM icon you would recommend?

Socrates is unreal. I loved maradona too but being honest he wasnt really worth the coins.

Depends on budget but any Socrates would be better then him in my opinion and the best cam I used all year was cruyff

Sudden Valley

Crp based on the new rival points scoring i will automatically end up in Div 1. My only objective left for fifa 19 was get to div 1 as ive grown tired of the weekend league grind.

Yes, finally Maldini

And CB Lukaku who is unplayable as a CB. Awful defending stats...

RedRochey

How do EA calculate his defending at 87 when the average of his stats it 77.6?

Also how do you view his card on the app from the SBC page?

99 heading. Game is obviously a joke to EA at this stage.

Hogey007

Yeah he looks about as useful as ibra cb!!

That fut15 sbc is very specific, exactly 3 nationalities and at least 90 chem, people will def use futbin for this so you’ll see the top solutions rise a bit.

Lord TSC

And not Yaya but Doumbia as the key player

Wonder if I should dump Aurier now at 1500 coins. Still make bout 12k profit at that.

Lord TSC

Oh lord, when ye lot were talking about CB Lukaku, I thought you meant his brother from the Italian leagues. WTF?

Still, needs United players so great news for my Smallings....

RossieMan

You'd have to be insane to do that SBC. Can't see him rising much, if any at all.

Hogey007

Maldini is coming in at 2.1, fair price for his market price. woulda preferred to have to submit an extra icon than do all the high rated teams.

I might still do blanc at the 1.2 million cheaper but I’m happy that I know exactly what my choices are now.

Woulda hated if I’d done blanc and then Maldini popped up next week at 1.6/1.7.

Going to hold mine until for an hour, that sbc is so specific that the average fifa user will use futbin, because you can only use 3 nations it wouldn’t surprise me to see the top soutlution use bamba and aurier along with some English prem players etc

Whatever players make the top solution will start to rise until futbin refreshes and pushes it out of top solution

Bought him at 800, already up to 1500.

There'll be United fans who want a special Lukaku "cheap", even if he's just a super sub.

I did the first five SBCs for nothing on Blanc today, and can do the Icon one for "free" too, so Blanc looks like he'd cost me about 350k.

From a United POV, and from the price difference, I think I'll happily take Blanc to fill that spot till the end of the game.

RedRochey

all my auriers and bambas sold fairly quickly after the sbc came out, all for around 1500

Blanc is quality. He's good enough to be an end game CB.

I'm already excited for TOTS. I've never had this many coins at this stage of the game before bar Fifa 15 when you could buy a million coins for 5 quid... ofc that just meant that all the top players were extinct. I literally opened 1000's of packs in the hunt for top guys.

Lord TSC

7/9 done on Blanc.

Not packed anything at all though. Probably cost me bout 50k so far through.

Got to submit Campbell (be sorry to see him go) and the 87 squad, which there’s no way I can avoid it being less than 240k, I reckon.

Lord TSC

Just got a message on the app that weekend league entry can be redeemed on Friday now, for immediate access.

No way is he worth submitting Campbell and all those cards and coins. Haven't used him in draft a few times and played against him, his 89 card is just as good.

Hopefully some more decent icon sbcs next week as nothing worth doing has been released yet.

Blanc is easily one of the best defenders in game his defending stats are warped but they are all well in the 90s apart from his heading accuracy but what makes him so good Is he can control and pass the ball also Campbell feels like a lorry compaired to him.

Lord TSC

Yolo. Cost me 200k. Zola on the bench. Likely the next to be submitted. Not sure where though.

Class team dude! I didn't get to do the Dani Alves SBC and every single time i build a team it makes me sad... I'm having to use bloody Scream Rafinha atm!! More people should lash up their teams, i'd be interested to see them.

Btw is Mata better than Zola or is it just a United preference?

Lord TSC

Pyjamarama wrote: »

Played way less games with Mata, obviously, but feel they are super similar players, so yeah, mainly United preference.

Mata was a big part of me getting 17 wins last week though. He was agile, but great passing and great runs. Popped up with some good runs behind strikers too.

That's why you see all the pros using him? Never seen him in any decent team where others were available. Obviously in this case it's not the same, but no way is he worth an icon Campbell who himself probably cost 700k to do plus about 700k worth of players.

He'll be out of that team come TOTS.

In division 3 now, games seem a lot more challenging... enjoying it. Gerrard still scoring goals for fun, free kicks are lethal with him
