    They did upgrade Jovic's SM to 4*. Kent would've been 5*5* they'll deffo release him at some stage.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,602 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I actually chose Musa for nostalgia sakes.

    I'd worry what you have is the hardcore internet fans loving how "meta" Kent is, but the vast majority of casual players going "Who? Nah, i'll choose the guy from Real Madrid!"

    And that's probably it. The hardcore base is extremely small, most users are casuals so would have said Real Madrid...yep I'll take that lad over a crap league card whos only 77.

    I'm tempted to do Jovic as it will allow me to pair FB Griezemann behind him...although tots Benzema is a beast. Keeps getting bloody injured though.


    I do want to try out that Kessie card so much though.

    I had his birthday card in fifa18 and it was a crazy card.
    I had looked at it last week and thinking thank god it wasn't in fifa20 this year.
    And I also had Kessie's otw card and was wondering how he was getting on this year and then his sh card popped up.
    Then I saw Musa and was thinking oh god no.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    The Jovic card was first pick, so casuals would just press X and be on their way not caring. Still, how many people playing in June are casuals??

    Going to try him out tonight, should be an upgrade on storyline Thorsby although he has been a stalwart for me to be fair, the unsung hero who allows Ronaldo, Dybala and Mertens to do their thing

    So right on cue, fifa content is really fun and rewarding, Jamie fut economist back tweeting, new notes on how the servers are going to be much better......classic ea :)

    A month or so of non stop packing special cards and the last 8 months or so are quickly forgotten.


    https://twitter.com/eafifadirect/status/1274105219945648128?s=21

    Jamie fut economist with 3 fifa info tweets in 3 days now.
    He had 3 fifa info tweets in the previous 3 months prior to that.

    So so easy to predict their tactics. Watch pack weight improve massively over next few weeks too.

    I threw Thorsby into the Ultimate SCB last week as I wasn't using him as much. Class card though, he'd never let you down.

    Finally got the 89 Mendy... afk’d about 17 games and only in division 6.

    Played 2 or 3 games with the 89 at CAM and my players feel like they’re running with weights attached to them. Still manage to score/assist but then for some reason my defence forget how to play and I concede. Conceded twice in the 90th for a draw. Sat at 0 progress so I’ll continue tomorrow and hope my players play to their actual stats. So frustrating.

    Away from keyboard. In the FIFA sense it means leaving your controller up against something so as not to get kicked off for inactivity.

    Tryna decide who I want to but next.. TOTS KDB/TOTS CR7/HL Neymar/TOTS Messi? Anyone any ideas? They’ll be playing CAM/ST in a 41212(2) beside Ben Yedder.

    Definitely recommend TOTSSF Ronaldo as I’ve only used him and none of the others. His shooting, pace and strength are unreal and he’ll put away most chances.

    Good dilemma to have though in having to choose between all those players

    All thanks to packing prime Butra! He’s still yet to sell tho and seems to still be dropping. Ronaldo is at 3.8m atm which would just about allow me to pick up TOTS Dybala to play at CAM for the links.

    I managed to pack TOTSSF Dybala so have him up front with Ronaldo and they are a decent partnership. Did think about playing Dybala at CAM but got decent options there so just left it. Getting the Kessie objective done last night should help with the defensive side of things behind all the attackers.

    I'm not finding the crosses with Mendy hard. I already use the low driven cross normally, and Mendy is so good that he's constantly getting into position for them.

    But god, I'm finding the long shot ones an issue. Both for Mendy and Kessie. I'm nearly throwing games and just putting everything on a high press from the off just to take shot after shot, lol.

    Are you doing the Kessie long shot on rivals or squad battles? Definitely easier to do in squad battles - just find an opponent on low chemistry and an outfield player in goal.

    Rivals.

    I've been doing him at the same time as Mendy. Have TOTS SMS in my squad, and Alberto and Lukaku as subs. If I don't have him done by the time I get Mendy done, I'll switch over.

    Mendy needing a long shot goal too means it's as easy (in theory) to try and combine them (even if they need different types of players).

    you do know its an outside the box shot? just finesse it in dude :)
    Finessed goals outside the box are classed as long shots :D
    easy peasey.

    I know. And I actually have them now, but they just weren’t going in. Kept rocketing off the post.

    One game left to play and I’ve got 89 Mendy. He’s been fun but surprisingly easy to get so far. Can’t see the last batch of objectives being too hard either cause I’d say I did most of them with the 87. Just playing the games naturally should get most of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    I wonder will we see English or maybe Brazilian summer heat cards today?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    jesus I got lucky then with Quaison - 93 rated.
    Himself , Luiz and Mendy will be popping into the prime icon sbc.

    And apparently Quasion does't qualify as a totssf or moments card for the prime icon sbc.

    Oh Jesus, I got Maddison in mine :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    At least I now have a use for the 87 Fernandinho I brought the other day when I was doing the Perisic SBC. I needed him but wasn’t paying attention and brought a CF version of him which gave me 0 chemistry.

    Hopefully I won’t pack one of those objective players I already did


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    Oh Jesus, I got Maddison in mine :pac:

    Just be thankful it wasn’t 85 remy :D
    Or 84 josh king :D

    That’s true, actually. Honestly forgot they even existed :pac: will use Maddison in some kind of SBC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,916 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Cool card actually, strong link to TOTS Salah and he's 4*/5*

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,452 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Still a dirty villa card


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    I got Maddison as well - he’s not getting in ahead of Bruno or EoAE Silva so will use him for an SBC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,939 ✭✭✭maxwell smart


    Got Ansu Fati which I'm happy about as I think his SBC was stupidly expensive?

    Wonder if he's any good?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Weekend League Highlights:

    Ronaldo is immense, he hit the post a lot with his left foot but if he was 5*5* he'd be 6million plus on the market. I scored about 20 goals more than usual.

    I think I faced Ndombele in about 20 games.

    The 93 Mendy is so good, not 1 person got any player past him in all the games! I'd highly recommend going for him if anyone is thinking of just sticking with the 89.

    Big shout out to the guy in the last game who game me a free win, needed to win my last 3 to get to 17 and got it with the free win in my last game.

    I think it was around 150-250k.
    Nice card though. He was excellent for me in the CAM role as well as LAM.

    Got Maddison also, seems to be a high drop rate on him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭Bunny Colvin


    Finished 17-11. First time hitting G2.

    Switched to 4-2-2-2 and it paid off. I was 8-8 coming into today and went on a great run to finish 9-3. Ended up playing the same guy twice. Hammered him the first time and he quit. Second time, he started sending me messages and party invites. He took a 2-0 lead but I came back to score four straight and he quit again :D

    I’ve a feeling we could see that moments sbc again today like how they gave us the tots lucky dip sbc 3 times without making it repeatable.

    They have the prime icon sbc to keep high rated cards inflated and we’ve seen a few sbc’s require 84/85 squads with high chem so I think they’ll look to keep 84’s high.
    I mean they did up the price range on Saturday.

    Hello lads, was thinking of trying to put together a boards ultimate team tournament for anyone that plays on the PS4. If you’re interested then Send me a private message by 6pm today and if there’s enough interest I’ll do a draw and have the first round of games tonight then every night until there’s a winner. I’m on PS4 so if someone else wants to do it for the Xbox lads and another for the PC lads then work away. Just a thought.

    Great idea. I'm on Xbox so hopefully someone does the same (I can't organise myself as it is) so I can quickly go 2 down, bravely fight back and lose a last minute goal via either a deflection of a random bounce, to someone on here, instead of a random stranger.

    Love that idea of giving a +3 upgrade to the winner of a certain match.

    The sbc will have expired by then too so you obviously can’t wait and see how wins, I bet a lot will just do both, off to check Paddy power odds myself :)

    Edit: leverkusen are 1/4 to win. I’ll do that one so.

    And now I’m wondering do I cheap out and do the Diaby SBC in the hope he wins or do Perisic as I was planning this evening

    Ah if you have enough for perisic I’d probably still go for him. The 5 star weak foot and all.

    Liked the idea when they first announced it, still cool now but it doesn't make sense to me that it's not a player pick SBC, surely the whole point is you're basically betting on who you think is gonna win, having the option to take both kinda defeats that.
