    Just a heads up, I'm sure most of us have a fair whack of prem players in the club at the minute. Most gold common prem players are going for 700 odd at the min bar some city and Liverpool players.

    I just finished the prem SBC for roughly 70k in total spend with selling all tradeable cards.

    Packed TOTS kimmich feom the ultimate pack along with Auba, Witsel and a few other high rated fodder throughout.

    Worth looking into doing considering how expensive prem players usually are. Il probably do it again over the next couple days

    I've rinsed my club so much doing upgrades that I literally don't have one common gold player in my club anymore as of a few minutes ago! :pac:

    Finished the German League SBC for the first time. Packed a Turkish League TOTS, as well as Suarez and Carvajal from the Ultimate Pack.

    Packed TOTS Hummels from finishing the Copa Lib SBC though.

    Packed TOTS Silva from the 85+ pick.

    Hi Lads,

    I have never played a full year of Fifa so TOTS is new to me. I have some packs sitting in my store and just wondering when I should open them? I have a Ligue 1 team so should I open them all during that and hope for Neymar/Mbappe or just wait for Ultimate TOTS at that stage or will it be impossible to pack anyone during UTOTS? Cheers

    To be blunt, your chance of actually packing a TOTS of any kind is low enough. The chances of packing a Neymar or Mbappe are it the percentage of a percent range :P

    If you're willing to wait till Friday for the Ligue 1 TOTS, it certainly wouldn't hurt. But I wouldn't massively be letting it dictate the entirety of your decisions.

    Im still getting button lag pretty much constantly now.

    My NAT type is strict, I had to change to IPV4 or whatever it's called to play NBA 2k online so I'll get that put back, and I'll try a different controller as well as I dont think this was always there but definitely is the last week.

    If neither of those work I'll pack this in.

    The game looks to run fine but everything I do is a fraction slow.
    An example in a friendly I had there, I passed it back to my goalie and was passing straight away but when he got the ball he took a quick touch and then passed it.

    Most times it's not an issue but it's the 1:10 one that leads to an error etc.

    It's so constant now though it cant be a server issue or I should be benefitting from it, then again if the servers are in central Europe than us in the west are even further than those in the east.

    Anyone else on Xbox, or in the West getting this?.

    Hoping the NAT change is a eureka moment but we'll see.

    Plenty of Ronaldo bait in the new Liga NOS team. Serie A is coming Friday.

    It's Serie A on Friday I thought.

    Did the icon moments pack for 5 tokens.

    Vidic. He won't even see my squad and will just go straight into another SBC.

    That new 91+ prime icon pick is a pity it wasn't 92+ as that would get rid of a lot of the rubbish.

    I'll still probably take a shot at it though for a bit of fun.

    My team is realistically pretty much as good as I can get now unless I pack something insane or spend a fortune so I'm just going to take more and more punts on the likes of the above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,582 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Did that 85+ Player Pick for the Bundesliga because I seen the odds were pretty good, you have a chance to pack from:

    15* TOTS
    2* TOTW
    5* Gold

    So of course the three players I got to pick from were Gold Gulasci, Gold Gnabry and TOTW Kramaric. I swear my account is cursed.

    To be fair I very much doubt it's even odds on all of them

    I got Haaland, that tots lb as well and an IF Kramavic. Worked out well for me.
    Haaland is meh though compared to last years card.

    Yeah they’ve really butchered the tall, strong strikers like Haaland, Giroud, Van Basten etc... real shame as I love playing with those types of strikers.

    Tots Isak would beg to differ :D

    Got TOTS Haaland from the 85+ PP. Was really excited about him but I've been really underwhelmed by him. His positioning is poor and he just feels so big and clunky even though his stats suggest he shouldn't be. I put my mid Butragueno back in and he's honestly better. Haaland will be going into the Cantona SBC.

    Seedorf :pac:

    That split second of elation when you see the Dutch flag even though you know it's never going to Guillit or Cruyff :pac:

    I'll keep having a bash at these lottery SBC's from now on anyway. :)

    Mad day today.

    Packed Angelino from the Copa Lib finals SBC

    Packed Sergio Oliviera and some other Portugese lad from the Belgian League SBC.

    Threw those two into the 83x5 pack.

    So, after spending the day doing SBCs and about 150k, I've got the following...

    Got Torres from mine. I’d feel dirty having to play him.

    Don't sleep on the TOTS Tapsoba SBC even on 8 Chem he is better the TOTY VVD for a snip of the price.

    Going to replace VVD and Dias with Tapsoba and TOTS Varane for this weekend.

    That's assuming anyone is still using CB in this game of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    Slow start as per usual with chasing TOTs but just got TOTs Angelino from a Bundasliga Prime Players pack - he’s a LWB but of course I already have useable LB options there but still can’t complain, it’s a TOTs

    I’ve been cycling through LBs for weeks now, trying to find one I like. I’d planned on buying Davis this week, but given I’ve packed Angelino, I might just give him a whirl. His stats look decent for an attacking LWB.

    I'd highly recommend TOTS Davies.

    I had been playing PIM Zambrotta at LB due to his 5 star weak foot and having HL Tavernier at RB, but brought Davies in at LB which allowed me to move Zambrotta to CB.

    Much more solid now with the above.

    Davies defensive AI seems excellent as I've lost count of the amount of times he has automatically sprung ahead to cut out a pass without me moving him and he always seems to be in the right place.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 43,004 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    His TOTY was incredibly fun. And I’d planned on grabbing his TOtS anyway, before I packed the few German league TOTS cards. I’m waiting to see what my reds bring before I splash out though, but I’m surprised how cheap he’s gone. Probably due to bad country, I know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,491 ✭✭✭stuchyg


    Just packed TOTS lacroix from a 75+ player pick. Had gone to the jacks so didn't even get to see the walk out.

    I’m going to give him a crack. Only on 7 chem at the moment due to a red link with Son but if I switch the formation around then will get him on 10with FB Pique and Kean icon at CM

    Think I'm going to change my mind about the Icon Swap tokens.

    I've already used 3 on the 84+ pack, I'm thinking now instead of going for Best or Rio that I'll get the Icon moments pack, 92+ moments pack, 83+ and 81+ packs.

    It would probably make more sense to use the player packs now but I might risk it on the icon pack instead.

    I'm such a gamblor!!! :pac:

    I was the same and what changed my mind was the fact that it will be the end of June before I can go for any of the big hitter players or packs and I just don't know how much time I'll get to enjoy even a Pele etc at that stage with restrictions lifting and weather hopefully improving in the summer months.

    Also my team is realistically as good as I'm going to get it now without an insane pull or millions of coins, so I figured why not take the punt on the packs and if I did somehow manage to pack something amazing I'd have more time to enjoy using it.

    Unfortunately I got PIM Vidic who won't get near my team! :pac:

    If I decide to do the WL tokens I'll do the exact same as you've listed. If not I'll just do the 92+ moments pack with the second batch.
