Definitely prioritise MMs if you can do them, only real tradeable packs in the game so far, I'm up to 25k just from doing them and I didn't pack anything at all.

Did you list up most of what you packed from it?

Osmosis Jones

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119656297#Comment_119656297

Yeah pretty much everything

Osmosis Jones

Also starting to realise that EA have deliberately left out Alternative Positions on some players so that they can release them as extras on promo cards instead, eg Messi can't play CAM/CF/ST despite playing there about half the time

Redzer7

Upto 50k now doing the BPM. Pain in the bollocks only being able to list 30 though.

Lord TSC

I've not tried this yet, but if you list 30 items, wait for them to expire, list a new 30 items, and then hit re-list all....voila, you now have 60 items listed.

Must give that a bash next time round, nice one.

Spent too much time on that nonsense for the last day. Have bought Haaland and Coman as investments and will pick it up again Tues. It'll be a joke if they make Haaland fodder again given his profile so expect he'll be very good and popular with prem teams. Coman mainly because Nkunku is so popular and will be hardish to link/new stupid chem

Would guess the best investment of all would be to load up on shadows for 1500 and wait until they're all 5k? Might be one for Tuesday

BrentMused

Did Marquee Matchups for about 8k in total.

Ended up packing Tomori from the Portugal vs Spain section!

He's only 40k on the Web App at the moment but I'd suspect he'll hit around 80k upon release once people start getting coins.

BrentMused

Always nice when someone accidentally buys your bronze card worth 150 coins for 4,900 buy it now, when doing BPM 😅

mutley18

Varane best pull so far from a 2 rare players pack. I didnt realise he was downgraded but has very similar stats to Kimpembe last year and 84 rather than 83.

Redzer7

Just at 100k now. Finding it a lot easier to make coins on the companion app than other years. Not spending a penny on fifa points this year bar the 4600 that come with it. I lose interest way too easy. Just downloaded the game there, roll on Tuesday.

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119662885#Comment_119662885

You still doing BPM?

I'm up to around 50k from it over the last couple of days. No work at all in it really, just constantly re-listing every hour and then adding more bronze players to the transfer list once some sell.

It has slowed down a bit to be fair but will probably jump again on Tuesday once people get the game and start doing the initial SBC's.

Also packed a Tomori from Marquee Matchups who should sell for 75k-ish upon release.

Redzer7

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119663000#Comment_119663000

Yeah any players that aren't selling after first or second time round go into the upgrade SBCs. And then to the silver and gold SBCs. Got Joe Gomez, Correa and Skriniar so far of note. All the valuable ones that I get from bronze packs I screenshot and then add them to the watch list and then focus on that player buying low and selling high. Have about 10 players that I trade with and it's going well so far.

mutley18

What is the BPM? Buy bronze packs and sell? I dont have 750 coins to buy one 😂

Doyler92

Does anybody know why I can’t use the companion app? I know it says log into your PlayStation to create a FUT 23 account. I didn’t play in approx 2 years and that could be why but is there a workaround?

mutley18

Apparently if you change your location to New Zealand you can play tomorrow at 12pm, not sure how true that is.

Dave0301

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119664167#Comment_119664167

I have seen varying reports on how well that would work. For the sake of arsing around with settings, I can wait.

Lord TSC

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119663896#Comment_119663896

Basically, yeah. 750 coins to buy a pack, sell every player you can for at least 200 coins. You’ll pack players occasionally who go for more, quick sell all the junk.

reading that draft mode is a disaster cause of the new chem mode. People being offered captains that aren’t getting chemistry from any position in the formation, offering LWB players for LB spots and so on. You know, I like the idea of the new chem system, but the actual Execution has been hilariously awful and the game isn’t even out yet.

BrentMused

Anyone have much experience with kits?

The likes of Liverpool and Manchester United home kits are available for around 1,000.

Is there enough demand for them to jump a significant amount upon release or do they always stay around that price?

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119663966#Comment_119663966

Yeah, that's the reason.

There was a set date you had to have logged into FIFA 22 by, in order to get Web App/Companion App access for 23.

Unfortunately there's no workaround and you'll have to wait to get in on the console before being able to use the app.

awec

EA Play access is tomorrow I think, but it's confusing. I think they're only giving 10 hours?

Lord TSC

Anyone else visiting New Zealand for the day? 😂

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119666916#Comment_119666916

Unfortunately not an option for PS users 😩

It'll be Wednesday before I have a chance to get on.

Tomorrow is going to be torture watching everyone opening packs and getting started! 😅

Lord TSC

Packed an untradeable Kimmich, so I guess he compliments the Neuer I got a few days ago.

I love playing in the initial few days, when all the mad skillerz are using awful cards, and they aren’t adjusted to not having 99 pace, 99 pass, 99 shot players yet 😂

Kimbot

Debating buying it this year, used the web app and got a few sbcs done etc but I will hold off getting it for now.

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119667401#Comment_119667401

Have you used your Ultimate Edition FIFA Points yet and are you getting your usual 12,000 in addition mate?

Would be interested in a run down of what you pack from the above.

mutley18

There is a 10 hour trial for EA Play on PS5. Sign up for 1 month for 0.99. Gameplay feels very slow. Glad to report they still have animations for claiming tifos in season rewards 🥰😠

Lord TSC

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119667482#Comment_119667482

Afaik, the points are tied to the store you ordered in, so they won’t come in till midnight tonight.

Going to see what happens with them before committing real cash. If I get enough to build a strong team, I wouldn’t be shocked if I put off the real cash investment for now. I’m actually finding a distinct lack of eagerness to start trading tbh.

I find packing so much nowadays has lowered by hunger to generate a load of coinage. They throw so many high powered untradeables at you that I spent most of last year with 2m coins and no desire to spend it. That and the smaller trade pile.

Lord TSC

I had a good day yesterday (a card I sell went a bit viral, lol) so ended up splashing out the money for the 12k points. Currently opening but highlights are…

Preorder points were woeful.

Coman and Sane added to the Kimmich and Neuer I’ve already got seems to be the game pushin me towards the Bundesliga 😂

Lord TSC

Right...

Discarded basically all kits, contracts, TIFOs, etc.

Pre Order points

1 83 card, 2 82 cards, 4 81 cards. Nothing else above 80. 1 IF (Hogan).

Not many dupes at this point. Took me from 16000 coins up to about 48k, with nothing really in my transfer pile.

12,000 points bought.

3 cards above 85 (Gundogan, Coman, Szezesny)

4 84s

6 83s

11 82s

7 81s.

4 Discard IF cards (Hogan x2, Diamond, Mladenovic).

St Maxim the best card packed, in terms of coinage (44k). Coman a close second at 41k, but I'll use him. Rashford (22k) was a nice one too, and got a good few n the 2-10k range. I've listed them but not sold yet.

Coin total went up from 48k to 190k, with a lot of those named above still to sell. AND I've not even started sorting the bulk of the non-rare and discard rares I've got yet. Going to see what SBCs I can run with them before mass selling.

I should easily have about 300k when I'm done, and thats just if I discard every non-rare, which would be a waste. No "Massive" pull, mind. But I rarely ever do.

Overall, decently happy with the massive base I've gotten there to go forward with. Packed Sane and Coman, but neither can switch to RW, frustratingly. So will probably try and sell Sane and bring in Gnabry instead. Need to invest heavily into a striker.

GavK

I packed Ruben Dias. Currently selling for 137k. Should I sell now or will he increase in value ?

Redzer7

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119670476#Comment_119670476

He won't sell at that, that's his minimum price, will have to wait for EA to lower his price range which might take some time.

Frisbee

Went through half my pre-order points. Packed Antony & Dembele which was a nice 120k. Running an extremely basic team at the moment as all my money is going into trading an investments.

Have stocked up on a load of Casemiro for 15k-16k and been buying Vardy at sub-5k every time a few cards sell. Two of the 84 IFs are going for Discard as well.

Osmosis Jones

Is anyone playing on PS4? Haven't bought yet and worried about the performance, menus were already unbearable last year.

BrentMused

Got a gift of €50 PS Wallet credit so I added €40 to that and got 12,000 FIFA Points.

In addition, I had the Ultimate Edition pre-order bonus points so ended up with 110 packs to open.

Best pulls in terms of rating were TAA, Rodri and Verratti. All 87's with a messed up price range so can't be sold.

The only real pull of note in terms of value was Renato Sanchez who went for nearly 50k.

However, the real value of the above is always how it increases your coin balance to give you a big head start. For example, I went into the above with 100k and I'm now on 300k after doing the League and Nations Hybrid and Hybrid Nations SBC without having to put a coin into them. You make a big chunk from quick selling the rubbish.

I'm in a bit of a predicament now though. Prices of meta players are through the roof, but with that coin balance I could put together a lovely team that would do me for the first 6 weeks or so.

However, is it better to just throw something together for 50k-ish and then reinvest the remaining 250k into players like Kane (89 rated, 16k) who should double in value over the next 8 weeks or do I just go for it and put together a team containing the likes of Dembele, Llorente, Kessie, Courtois etc straight away?

Will cards get a bit cheaper on Friday once the standard edition is out and there's far more supply, or how does it usually go?

Any advice is most welcome.

martyos121

Just after getting Cancelo from the MMs. Not spectacular but he looks like a player that could stay in the team for ages.

Easily my best ever day 1 pull, which probably isn’t saying much. Should I use him or sell him?

mutley18

Servers are useless this evening, cant get on.

Redzer7

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119672034#Comment_119672034

Think everyone's the same, a disgrace that they haven't upgraded the servers.

Osmosis Jones

Early Access is really more like 2 days than 3 with how many server errors there are

Lord TSC

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119672074#Comment_119672074

Pay extra to get extra days.

(Disclaimer: extra days may not actually be playable...)

@BrentMused Did you use the Futbin solutions for the more advanced SBCs? I'm finding a load of them are useless cause they aren't taking the absolutely moronic "Max 1 chem per player" rule on board....

Treviso

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119672088#Comment_119672088

Think they are impossible to complete given the chemistry rules. three in total. Although there are certain Chrome hack instructions on Twitter that gets around it. Look for Advanced SBC work around thread by @BPM_Animal

BrentMused

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119672088#Comment_119672088

Have a look at this lad on Twitter. I was following his all the way through. Perfect each time and great prices:

martyos121

Day 1 so far: Cancelo, Fabinho, T. Silva and two Ruben Dias the highlights.

Not great, not terrible.

Anyone packed Mbappé or an icon yet?

martyos121

Well worth doing those Hybrid Leagues:

dmigsy

Best pull from the Ultimate edition points was Pogba. Got enough tradeable fodder to have a decent team anyway. Got Sterling untradable in some reward pack. Mwepu is great value as a CDM. Enjoying the gameplay so far. Playing the exact same formation and tactics as last year.

mutley18

Absolutley nada from the 4600 FIFA points for me 😂

Lord TSC

Nothing massive from the advanced SBCs. Rashford, DDG, Traore, Touchamendi

awec

Packed 89 Oblak from my 4600 coins, 17k which is fairly meh for a 89 but sure, every penny counts at this stage.

Lord TSC

Going back to the ever reliable “once you pack them once…” philosophy, I’ve packed Rashford for a third time today 😂

Im going to sell up the German lads. I just struggle to stay interested in squads I don’t have connections too. And since I’ve got untradeable versions of DDG, Rashford, Martinez, Eriksen, Shaw and McT, I’m just leaning into that now.

Im just wondering whether to treat myself to Haaland, and forget about the stupidity of big coin investments so early on…
