    Bought fifa points earlier for fifa 21, still not in the game

    did you buy them through fifa 21 itself or did you buy them on 20 ? or did you use the giftcards things ?

    if you bought them on 20 you have to transfer them over.

    Jaysus. Did they do something to the pack weights this year?!

    How does the game feel too? Haven’t watched anything FIFA 21 related yet.

    Bought them off the Xbox dashboard, they were fifa 21 points and not fifa 20 points.

    Bale and Allan my best packs from the hybrid nations sbc set.

    Just got through my 12,000 FIFA Points.

    Werner was the biggest pull by a long way and even if that was all I had come out it probably would have been worth it to me.

    Other pulls of note were Felipe Anderson x 2 (kept one and sold the duplicate for 23,750), Van De Beek, Thiago Silva, Pepe, Rui Patricio, Digne, 4 x of the meh TOTW’s.

    Then quite a few of the low 80’s rated guys such as Nacho Fernandez and Nerez who will keep the coin balance ticking over.

    Luckily I also pulled extinct cards Joao Felix, Adama Traore, Mbabu and Rodrigo who are all in demand so they should skyrocket soon.

    I usually wouldn’t even contemplate going with a Premier League squad due to the price relative to what you get quality-wise but those pulls are basically forcing me into it!

    Very pleased with that. I know it’s complete luck with the packs but that sort of a head start is huge to someone like me who isn’t good at trading.

    Got Lenglet from Marquee Matchups, sold for 75k

    I'll stick with 75 non rares, 75k can't be said no to.

    they tweeted saying you had to log in on console to claim points btw if you didnt see it , for your points.

    This isn’t going to be my year with pack luck, haven’t packed anything decent yet and got though 8k Fifa points, not one walkout and 84 Gurreira the highest rated packed. Sissoko sold for 32k though.

    Got a few decent Bundesliga players so I’m building a team around them at the minute.

    Oh packed Davison Sanchez also, I think I’ll keep him as he looks very useable.

    Went 4-1 in the placements but definitely dont feel like I understand the game yet, feels like everything through ball cuts my open.

    defending is going to take alot of time to get used to, also drop back 1 depth playing like a b!tch is still super op. but at least you can cross now to counter it somewhat. really feels like ping ponging it around alot, nobody has a first touch haha

    Yeah very excited to try some big men up front, scored a few headers already and it just feels so nice to have the option again

    70 quid and a solitary 85 is the best pull, I'm sorry but that's a loss in my book.

    Jaysus between mbappe, pogba, bruno IF & ferland I think ea will have convinced you to come back for fifa 21 after the trial.

    It’s not just about the rating, IMO.

    Like Werner is an 85, going for 200,000 coins now and will probably double during OTW. For example, I also packed Parejo who is an 85 and is going for less than 5,000.

    Felix, Traore, Rodrigo and Mbabu are not highly rated but are now extinct and will sell for around 150,000 coins combined if not more when their price range is sorted. Felix is only 81 rated but is a perfect example of someone meta who will hugely outplay his rating.

    I went into last night with 2,000 coins and from what I packed (along with some manoeuvring with cards I won’t use) I now have a starter PL squad containing options such as Werner, Allan, Mahrez, Silva, Digne, Felipe Anderson, Ndidi, Pepe, van de Beek, Traore (extinct) and Rodrigo (extinct).

    To me it’s more about what I can do with the coins than how high rated the players I pack are, although I know that is somewhere interlinked.

    Prices are so low now that if you have a decent coin reserve you can put together a very good starter team and/or invest in cards that will likely double or triple in price come general release. Trading my way up and no FIFA Points would have been ideal but I’m just not that good at it and being completely honest I don’t really have the time/patience. I tried it the first couple of days of the Web App and it was tough and very time-intensive flipping the odd card for 100 coins profit. Plus, by the time I would make enough from trading to purchase even one meta player for investment, the game would be out on general release! :pac:

    So the way I look at it I went from 2,000 coins to a great starter team with at the very least another 200,000+ worth of coins from players I won’t use sitting there waiting to be turned liquid when their price rises. To me, that’s worth it, but I do know I was lucky to get what I did (IMO).

    Hope that all comes across the way I intended :)

    Jaysus. Did they do something to the pack weights this year?!

    It definitely feels like it. I put in €27.50 of FIFA Points. With that and doing a lot of the SBCs I have pulled

    Kroos
    Thiago Silva
    Gnabry
    Raul Jimenez
    Adama
    Van Den Beek
    Alphonso Davies
    Hernandez (Bayern)
    Bellerin *2
    Calvert Lewin *2
    Douglas Costa
    Laimer (Extinct so 10k)

    And of all those 81 rated Alphonso Davies was the most expensive and sold for 68k :pac:. I wouldn't have pulled that many good / valuable players by December last year.

    I'm up to 230k coins with about 150k in my active trade pile. Then slowly putting the rest into 85/86 rated I can snipe at a decent price.

    Played my five placement games now. 3 wins, 2 losses.

    Italian team feels very clunky though, as does gameplay overall. Defenders making worse mistakes than usual, players being very slow to make runs.

    I do like you can wave off advantages.

    Quick subs seem akward; I had two games where it kept suggesting I sub off my CB for a RWer.

    I'm not really sure about the Italian team though. Its just ultra clunky. Not sure if thats the game, the meta or what it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,222 ✭✭✭Calvin


    Hopped on the mobile app late last night... bloody hell, piss easy winning bids late night. Started off with 2k, couple mins later it’s been flipped to 8k :pac:

    Completely different story this morning though, so much competition on bids. People bidding up to the last 200 coins.

    I know there's some who always ask about trading, and I said in the old topic I'd post names as I'm finding success with them.

    Maguire is going strongly for me. Selling at 4100. Have about 10 of him in my TP, get a sale or two every cycle.

    He's the only player I've stocked up big time on, but the following are players I have two or three of in my pile now, who are also ticking along. Not every cycle, but flipping regularly enough to warrant keeping restocking them. I'll put what I'm selling them at. Typically, I'm aiming for at least 1000 profit, though on the non-rares, doubling coins is enough.

    Bernard - 4100
    Tsimikas - 4100
    Isco - 7100
    Haller - 4100
    Milner - 2100
    A. Herrera - 2700
    Hwang Hee Chan - 7100
    Gabriel (Arsenal) - 1300
    D. Henderson - 4100

    Trying to stock up on other cards now too. TP is up to about 60 cards, though a lot are currently unproven....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,209 ✭✭✭Redzer7


    Icons way too low at the moment, gonna invest in a couple myself.

    Hwang is an absolute money maker for me... even on bids. Make a nice 800-1.2k a card.

    If I sell everything I should have about 2.2m, Torres is 1.7 atm and Gerrard is 700k so gonna go hard trading for a bit and I might actually be able to afford this on Day 1. I think it'd be more fun to have these two and a really cheap team and then just build around them all year (until the Primes come out).

    You should charge a service to open people’s packs for them :D

    Like 2.2 at this stage is unreal!
