    We're back!!

    I'm sure we all have plenty of news to share, who we packed etc...

    I played a Spanish team to 15 wins at the weekend finished 15-6, didn't get anything over 92 from my picks.

    Packed Paredes, Laporte, Jordi Alba (from a preview pack) and 98 De Bruyne from the guaranteed last week.

    Haven't opened my rewards yet today.

    92 Alessandrini

    Finally got some pack preview luck during the site being down, getting FoF Lukaku from a 75k pack. He’s an absolute beast - seems sluggish but he has got the pace and strength to get away from virtually everyone!

    Not much else going on. Did the Jorginho and Rice showdown cards and the former in particular is very good. Mina as an objective card also very good

    Bonucci as an SBC for the price was a giveaway - haven’t tried him out yet



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,965 ✭✭✭Liamalone


    Lovely, first time I've completed a WL, 14 wins same as most of last year.


    1st choice: muck, muck or slightly better 89 rated muck.


    2nd choice: muck, slightly better 89 muck or 91 rated Soucek muck.


    Ah well, hard to beat a bit of dirt :)



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


    Ahh, missed the thread. Glad we’re back!

    Side note: is there a PSN user here with the name BillyHurley?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    I just packed 96 Chiellini. I'm shoehorning him in. Legend!!!



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


    Packed Alba in a 81+ pick.

    Will there be a guaranteed SBC tonight?



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


    Got Lukaku from summers 2 SBC.

    Was hoping for Gomez.

    also did Eto and he’s gone to hell

    His loan card was ripping thru defences and as soon as I complete the sbc he’s muck.

    the search goes on for a Puskas replacement.



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


    Lukaku looks unreal.. going to buy him later on tonight. Got Maehle from my pack… regretting not doing Eriksen as the weeks go by. Strong links to both Maehle and Lukaku, makes it easier getting them in my team.

    Lukaku is unreal - so quick and powerful

    Just had my second piece of preview pack luck - Summer Stars Jordi Alba from a 100k pack



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    Pulled Maehle now as well, and a serie A forward lapadula. All pretty decent. All came from 81x25 and 84x 20 swaps packs.


    Maehle is very good. Great turn of pace.



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


    Bought Lukaku for 277k tonight… then proceeded to go on one of my worst runs in ages. 7 games, 1W, 1D, 5L. Lukaku didn’t really do that much too… 3 goals and 2 assists. Feel like his positioning was awful… whenever I was ready for a cross, Lukaku was always outside the box.. will give it another few games tomorrow before deciding to sell or not.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,193 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    EA can fook off at this stage, did the summer stars SBC to use up an untradeable dupe Lapadula and i get an untradeable dupe Maehle :(



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


    Ah hang on till the futties sbc where you can get otw cards 😂



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


    How are you using him? I watched Inceptions review of him and he recommended using him in a 2 striker formation rather than as a lone striker due to the work rate.

    Personally, I using him as a lone striker in the 4-3-3(4) set up - with close support from ToTs Son and 93 Best and ToTs Benzema at CAM. Other than Best they are all off chem - Son (8), Lukaku (7) and Benzema (6) - as I’ve kept him as a CF rather than converting to CAM in case I want to use him as a ST from the off.

    Played 13 games of Rivals with Lukaku and he got 19 goals and 9 assists so I got no complaints - mind you my bar is low as only in division 5, lol

    any else do correa? had a suspicion messi would get there in the end, he is a beast since the upgrade, running this team now

    with a 5212 in game with the FB on balanced, i think ill swap Paredes and Aouar




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


    Created the young fella’s separate profile and grinded out his icon swaps all week.

    just did the 5 token icon moment and who did he pack?

    moments Eusebio. Cue him running around screaming his head off in delight.

    What are the odds of the same person pulling prime Eusebio on my account and then months later pulling the moments version. Something ridiculous I imagine.

    Whoever said to get Puskas good call. He was banging in over a goal a game last weekend.

    His stats are deceiving.

    I was 8-2 last Friday, next thing I went 10-7 or 10-8 and didn't touch it since.

    In two consecutive losses I conceded 4 goals in each game from a grand total of 9 shots on target.

    Button lag, scripting..whatever you want to call it but just beyond irritating.

    I didn't even log in for the rewards of last week.

    Whenever I return I'll just tip away at Rivals anymore as the WL goes the same way every weekend and my team is pretty stacked as it is.



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


    Yeah was using him in a 4312. Had Neymar/Bamba and Stoichkov up top with him. Missed a lot of 1v1 chances… could feel his pace alright and was a bit more nimble but still got easily pushed off the ball. Have him listed up anyway, taking a loss but I’d rather the coins and maybe do Saint-Maximin to replace him.


    edit: market is crashing hard rn. Not sure I’ll even get to sell Lukaku. that player pick is mad value… got what IF Kante from my first.



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


    Got Toty Ramos, KDB twice and young fella got Lewandowski.

    gonna tip away at it and see what else comes out.

    Have done 5 of em myself - TOTGS Messi, WIF Kante and the rest were recycled back in. Club is completely empty now of all high-rated cards outside of my squad + bench.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    Which player pick is this???



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    While Boards was down I packed this bad boy from the Summer Stars guaranteed sbc.



    EDIT: Don’t know why it’s posted sideways haha.



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


    It’s the futties one. It’s repeatable. 84 squad and 30 chem.



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


    TOTY Ramos from my first pick. Glad I didn’t do his SBC lol.



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


    91 Kante from third pack. TOTY KdB from pack five. Awesome.


    cycling through everything now, throwing in any special card I’ve not used for months.


    we’re in the end game now, lol



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


    I’m on the fence about throwing in the higher-rated specials I have… 88+. Just in case there’s a nice Futties card coming up. I did 2 of them with 3x 88+ and the rest <81 but can’t bring myself to do more like that.



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


    It’s completely tanked prices.


    toty Lewandowski is under 100k. Toty Ramos at 80k. Freeze Mane at 60k.



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


    Yeah think I’ve decided I’m gonna sell Lukaku and use the funds to buy FS Fati to link with Messi.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,346 ✭✭✭Lamposts


    Went 11-0 last WL and lost interest in playing the rest. And of course EA give me a PIM Pele & PIM King Eric in the last 2 icon packs. I feel obligated to try and keep playing a few games each weekend. Done ASM as well.

    Hope everyone has a cracking Saturday on the batter.

    amazon prime packs are available now



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


    Ah, Futties Telles.


    I'll do him cause I've got 1.9m in the bank that's going to waste, but I wish he'd popped up a few weeks back.


    Also, LOL. "Celebrating his OTW". A card that got a grand total of zero upgrades.



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


    This is my team now, everyone on 10 chem except llorente on 7

    switch to 4-1-2-1-2 ig with llorente in midfield and messi and eric upfront with iniesta at cam


    rumour has it with getting moments Gullit sbc today, I really wanted to wait for R9 or r10 but I may just use up my fodder on something before the game is over so I’ll probably do gullit



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


    If we get some nice upgrades, I’ll do Gullit too… throw my entire club into them.


    id like to hold out for a Ronaldinho or Pele but Gullit will also be pretty good.



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


    If I thought ronaldinho or Ronaldo was next Sunday I’d wait but the fact they’ve cut the new icons from 3 a time, to 2 at at time and now 1 means we’ll probably have to wait longer.

    I imagine they’ll do zidane and cruyff before ronaldinho too.


    the way they’ve handled icons this year means I’m unlikely to bother with fifa 22



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


    Just the 25 squads needed to complete PIM Gullit. Doubt I would complete it by FIFA 25 lol



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


    What’s a farce. 25 squads for Christ’s sake.



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


    I’ll pass on gullit.


    it’d take me an entire night to complete all those squads and apparently we’re getting a renato sanches objective player that we can upgrade like the mendy and bruno objectives last year.


    so sanches will probably be close to gullits level anyway



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭dmigsy


    14-2 again. Enjoyable WL. Di Maria is as good as I hoped. Cavani is a bargain. A goal per game, 8 assists and 9 MoM performances from the 16 games. Don't come across many people using him but he's so good for me.

    Renato is so good in this game, I have played his fut birthday card every game since I did him, an uprated version will be a beast.



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


    Same, he’s never left my squad. From div 3 all the way to div 1. Think he’s got over 250 games now. Works a treat in midfield alongside SS Kimmich and FoF Veratti (who is possibly the best midfielder I’ve used this year).



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


    Picks were rubbish. Getting very bored of the game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,193 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Something strange happening maybe it's as players leave the game? I got back into fifa this after a probaly 15 years away from playing football games, lockdown made me get a ps5!

    i dont have that much time and for a long time i was hovering between div 8 and 7, the past 6 weeks either things have clicked for me or something as i am div 4 now and winning more than i am losing! playing auzios 5212 with balance full backs seems to suit me, im not a skiller but like to play a fast paced passing game.



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


    Really tempted to splash 1m into player picks, just out of curiosity…



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


    Read on Reddit that loads of people were getting neymar from the new fut champions upgrade so I fired 3 players in, best I got was sommer.

    did another out of pure frustration and the result is above 😀

    I don’t know if they’ve fixed it yet but they seem to have weighted neymar incorrectly as loads are getting him

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


    It’s the TOTS Sancho incident all over again… Twitter was full of people getting Neymar. His price hasn’t been affected as much tho. I unfortunately didn’t have enough FUT champs cards left to submit, so I stuck with the single upgrade. Put in Romarinho, got back out FoF Martinez.



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


    On ps4 he’s dropped from 4 mil to 3.3

    whearas Messi’s price has gone up so definitely a lot more people packing neymar.

    they pulled that one where loads were getting sancho very quickly so I’m surprised they left this……unless of course it’s deliberate, I know packing neymar for me has gave my interest a shot in the arm, I’m sure others are the same



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


    I did one, with 3 90 rated players and got Kane.


    Not sure I can bring myself to do a second for that return, lol



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


    From the sounds of it, they’ve fixed the neymar thing anyway, there doesn’t seem to be nearly as much people getting him now as there was in those first few hours



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


    Wow, FUTTIES Atal milestones… similar to the upgrade objectives we had already. All doable in squad battles too. Don’t mind that for such an unreal card.

    edit: realised hes 5 star 5 star too… even his 91 is 5 star 5 star and it only takes 4 games for him. Madness. Probably one of the best objective cards.
