    Ended up buying 88 Shev. Just got a chance to play one game but 5 goals :).
    Even with a hunter he doesn't feel that fast though.

    I'm half wondering if I should take the 450k I have and grab an icon, if only to get ahead of the game's power curve and start racking up as many wins as I can in rivals for rewards.

    Usually, I'm so stingey with my coinages and I do want to save long term for Cantona. But I'm wondering if my refusal to power up the team in the short run (for fear of not being able to long term) actually hurts long term too.

    i think you'd be better off putting that 450k into militao, get 22 militaos(he isnt that hard to snipe if you use the enter button instead of the mouse on the web app) and then when they update his price just get an even better over powered card :D

    also im possibly thinking of getting all aboard the olly watkins train :D

    just keep cycling through it he does pop up, then use enter button instead of clicking the mouse you will manage to get as many as you want if youre patient enough.

    also some good sniping filters for anyone trying to make coins.

    ive been using the portugal prem rb one today inbetween the football games, its mainly cancelo but getting him between 20-21k and selling for 23-24k quite quickly. did try too much of the other ones but can try anyone oout and see yourself.

    Grabbed Benzema for 44k, thought he'd be way higher? Also got Dembele so that's most of my placement money spent but happy with that for a start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭chips1234


    well to the guy who said fifa isnt like real life, who's laughing now :D what a mad day of football...


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,939 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I know extinction sniping has real potential, but I always find I suck at that sort of trading.

    Anyway, I bought 89 Riquelme for the #10 spot. Going to use him, but also keep listing him when not playing to see if I can turn a profit from him.

    its just sniping and then waiting really, im just hoping they dont completely fck the price range increase, anything less than 60k and i think he goes extinct again, i reckon his price will probably settle around 70kish if they put the price range to 80k. stats wise he isnt too far off joe gomez and hes going for 88.5k(im also nearly sure gomez was >100k the other night too) plus militao being madrid and meta its possible he can rise above 80k himself.

    don't forget squad battles rewards are out in an hour and a half so if youre looking at buying a player hold off for a while until they are out and they should drop for short period. If youre still awake of course :D

    Feel like stadium customisation is another thing they half-assed, there's no way to actually see what any of your changes will look like until you're in a match, why not let us see how it looks as we make changes like in 2k?

    Turns out you actually can view the stadium btw, the menus are just so unintuitive I couldn't find out how until now :p (you hold Up on the left stick for a couple seconds to get there)

    Packed Robertson and Wan-Bissaka from the Squad Battles rewards.

    I just missed out on Elite 2 by a couple of hundred points as I ran out of time on the trial, so that’s from Elite 3 rewards (1 x Mega Pack and 2 x Gold Players Premium Pack).

    So since the release of the Web App last week, from the PL I’ve packed: Werner, Robertson, Wan-Bissaka x 2, Reguilon, Felipe Anderson x 3, Thiago Silva, Digne, Rodrigo (extinct), Rui Patricio, Adama Traore (extinct) and Pepe.

    Very happy with how my team is shaping up now.

    7 hours into the 10 hour trial and the game is honestly doing nothing for me.

    I was very hesitant to even try the trial as I thought I’d get roped back in but I’ve found it so underwhelming. It’s like they’ve just put a small gameplay patch on fifa 20 and just reset us all back to starter squads.
    And filled milestones and packs with stadium crap.

    Also, I was full sure you’d be able to just get a random teammate for co-ops, seems daft to have objectives including co-op when you can’t get random people.
    I want to be able to play a game when I want, not texting a friend to see if they’re available to go online to try an objective.
    I know some people will love the co-op element with friends but they shouldn’t put objectives behind it if you can’t randomly pair up

    Just over an hour left and I’m very pleased I got the trial, it’s def just confirmed for me not to get fifa21.
    Gameplay does seem a small bit better but it always does in early stages and then they patch it.

    I’m also getting tiny spurts of button delay still, not massive but wait til the full game is released and everyone has piled on.

    I’m trying not to be overly negative as I know some of you are really looking forward to it and I probably would too if I didn’t grind as hard in fifa20, I just need a break and don’t feel like starting all over again, especially when they seem to have the very same mediocre type players for seasons (and then objectives).
    Like I said, if lacazette makes your starting 11 in 2 months time you’ve done something wrong.

    And lastly, what really swayed me, the return of the icon sbc’s really got me thinking of playing it but ultimately I don’t trust them to make PIM R9 accessible, or PIM Gullit.

    Can you explain the user the enter button method you're talking about? I've been trying to snipe Rodrigo since Friday and can't get him.

    Played 3 squad battle games and got Wan Bissaka, handy 30k.

    To the people who are already rocking nice teams and icons etc.

    How much have you spent?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭Pizzle


    Anyone playing this on PC? My first time playing FUT in a few years. Enjoying the last couple of days but hard to build a decent looking team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,576 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Up to 500k Transfer Profit now. Only 100k in coins as have invested very heavily in 85 and 86 that were going cheap. Was picking up Parejo for between 3900 and 4500 the other day, have about 30 of him ready to go for a decent SBC. Spanish players weirdly seem to be the easiest to get cheap as also stacked up on Busquets, Pique & Azpilicueta. Casemiro, Icardi, IF Iniesta as well. Prices on all of them have risen pretty sharply already so just need to play the waiting game now. Have two Prem players I am flipping 2-3 of a cycle for 500+ profit per card.

    Gameplay wise I am really liking it, much prefer it to 20. Dribbling actually feels like dribbling and it no longer feels that if you left a defender within 3 feet of you it's guaranteed loss of the ball. Squad wise I haven't really bothered focusing on trying to put a decent team together yet, just trying to up the coin balance as much as possible, this is what I have, all packed aside from Schmiechel, Digne & Torres, even then Schmiechel & Digne I sniped cheap for trading but will hold onto them for now. Technically didn't pack that Jimenez, but sold my packed one for 11k and then bought that the next day for 6 :cool:

    No idea what they were thinking with these new menus btw, absolutely awful stuff, they've literally just added extra button presses to every screen.

    Yep, this is very annoying.

    40 quid, got Pogba and Mendy from those packs....then got Bruno and Mbappe from SBCs :p

    Do some of the Advanced SBCs still require loyalty to complete? And if so, does anyone know if the loyalty glitch still works?

    Worked on PC for me. Started a Squad Battle, played for 1 min (in game time) and hard quit.

    Yep, some of the higher ones need loyalty. Afaik, it should still work.

    Currently running the below:

    https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/557798

    I change to 4-2-3-1 in game, with Allan as a balanced CDM, Ndidi as a stay back CDM, Lucas Moura as RAM and Anderson as LAM. I also substitute Ozil off immediately for Joao Felix and play him as the CAM, Ozil is only there at the start for chemistry purposes.

    I spent €80 on 12,000 FIFA Points and between those packs, SB rewards and SBC’s from the above squad I’ve packed Werner, Robertson, Thiago Silva and Felipe Anderson. The rest of the players have come from raising coins from selling good players in those packs but that I won’t use.

    I have put a lot of my coins into this team, buying Ederson, Periera, Allan, Ndidi, Lucas, however, I did get them for reasonable prices with it being so early in the game and they all have already rose quite a bit already. My one big splash out was on Gomez at 92k.

    Currently I only have about 50k left but do have an Mbabu, Adama, Rodrigo, the aforementioned Felix, and Nacho who are all extinct at the moment so I’m hoping to get a nice bit from them when their price ranges go up.

    Next port of call is to add Sterling or Rashford in place of Anderson and maybe then a proper PL CAM such as Havertz depending on what I do with Felix and how much Havertz’s price range will be.

    Thrilled with this so far though :)

    Yea I’m on the PC. Was on PS4 last year.
    Pc is a lot quieter.
    The game play seems better this year, I hope they don’t change it.

    when you click search instantly move the cursor over where the buy now button is going to show up, when it pops up click the buy now with mouse and have your finger hovering over the enter button before hand and hit it as quick as you can.

    anyways its out on console now, if you have an xbox go to location settings change to new zealand restart console and booom youre in, working for me apparently not working on ps4 :D

    right now how the fork do i add points when it wont let me use my card because of different regions :D anyone got an idea ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,812 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    If you wanna do it on PS4 you have to create an account based on NZ, only problem is then all pre-order packs go to that account instead so not worth it

    Wonder do new transfers get a new card immediately or in the winter update?

    I literally just came here to post the same thing. :D I'm tempted to invest in Deulofeu but don't fancy holding him for weeks.
