    if you use a team with 8 Bundesliga players in it and get 15 wins, you’ll get 3 extra tots picks. Weekly rewards are guaranteed two top 5 league tots player picks for G2, and G3 gives two 89+ tots player picks.

    I started playing some FIFA 21 on Game Pass and I'm trying FUT for the first time.

    It isn't very fun losing 12, 13, 14 or 15 nil every game against people online. I know one problem I have is I have no recognisable players, apart from Suarez on a loan. Everyone else has Maradona, Kane and Traore up-front. Apart from that, the thing I notice is that the players on the opposition team seem to make runs forward the whole time. My players are always static. I'm constantly caught at the half way line with 2 defenders against 3/4 attackers.

    One pass, and the opposition is through on goal every time.

    Recommend watching this: it’ll solve your problem with the 1-2 and through on goal.

    look at doing the FUTTIES Atal / Adama too. They’re in objectives -> milestones.

    edit: memory lane objectives too, they’re easy to do and get packs + good loan players from it.

    Gundogan was my best pick of the weekend and the only top 5 league option in the 15 wins pick.



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


    Crikey, they did it - Icon Swaps 4 is here

    Should’ve released the whole lot now or reduced the number of swaps + rewards and have them all out now. Would give people enough time to play with PIM Zidane if theyre getting him.



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


    I may just get the swaps for the packs, none of those icons will make my team at this stage.



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


    Same, packs + Kaka I’d say. Need the fodder to do Dinho.



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


    When is Futties team 3 released? Tomorrow at 6?


    Might pack suicide with the 2.4m I have...



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


    Do it - packs are stacked at the moment, been opening up my remaining packs and whilst nothing really big, there have been TOTs, PTG and Summer Stars cards dropping for me all over the place - got TOts Kaylor Navas, Ben Yedder and a Brazilian Tots goalie in a mega pack alone

    Prime gaming pack also available to claim and got a choice of 2 TOTs players in the player pick.

    Still got 4 Ultimate packs and a fair few Rare Mega packs to get through so still hoping for that 99 Neymar or Messi

    Got 99 Messi from a 25k pack, thought he’d be a bit more than 1.3 million

    sold him and brought in tots CR7 for one last go at the weekend league for the year



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


    500k spent on packs.


    Nothing god tier, but I'd say I earned about 300k back in pulls, and have run through the 87x10 once (Salah and Torres the best from it).



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


    Packed FoF Acuna last night untradeable… finished off some swaps today and did the 84+ X20 pack and got him again… at least it makes for great fodder for Dinho. 2 of the 89 squads done and not even a dent in the club.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Packed toty bruno Fernandes tradeable and as jordi alba ubtradeable, wanted jordi to upgrade my tots version and sold bruno and got acuna and papu Gomez with the profit which also gets dybala on 10 Chem!



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


    Bought Nani tots for me United past and present team.


    he cost the prime of 7 rare gold cards!! Madness 😀



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


    They’ve finally lost their minds.


    an 82 rated squad (40k) for a 85-90 rated card


    you can buy 2 94’s off the market for same price



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


    Been recycling the 85+ and now the 87+ like mad.

    Have gotten Mbappe, tots Fernandes (3 times) and then his toty card , Acuna x 2 (already have him) and finally got Firminio and Pogba yesterday.

    With the exception of Mina, Eusebio and Zambrotta every single player in my first 11 came from those packs.

    I also have Messi (god he's awful with those work rates) so hes in the reserves, a crazy full tier Italian team (no CR7 though :( )


    And the young fella's team is even crazier. But great fun. Think I should only start playing Fifa for the last 3 months each year :D





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


    Definitely.. the last 3 months are very enjoyable. Pack weight is upped, players are dirt cheap.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    packed SS Neymar and Acuna from the 87*10 (seperate ones) thats me done with SBCs now :D

    its mental throwing 91 rates TOTS players into an 80 rated squad!



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


    That’s what I’ll be doing if I’ve any leftovers after finishing Ronaldinho. Just threw FoF Acuna into the final 89 squad. Opened the 83+ x25 from icon swaps and got another dupe Militao.. enough players in that to finish two 88 squads.

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


    There’s an ultimate pack available for submitting a silver squad - worth it for one last shot at hitting something big



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


    Absolutely love Paredes card. He’s exactly how I feel Messi should be like. A ton of fun to use.



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



    Can only mean one thing… EOAE Messi SBC incoming! And also there goes me completing Dinho and the 3x89 squads I’ve submitted.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    I know its August and no one cares


    But I hit div 3 in rivals last night! After scrabbling around in div 8 for months when I started back playing I'm pretty pleased.

    These are the lads that got me there (insane pack luck getting neymar and to a less extent varane), chiesa has been a nice surprise as well.


    and in game in a 352

    and this weekend for the Ligue Un where i hope to play my first ever full WL see where i get to, what do you reckon constitutes a decent showing? 15 wins?




  • Registered Users Posts: 38 Maxxx17


    I always love it when a web app is released. I go crazy in my skin for 3 months. And then I get bored with the final team when all the special cards come out. Looking forward to the release!



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


    So anyone doing that Futties 99 PSG Messi?



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


    I don’t find Messi to be great really. Huge disappointment for me with his tots card.



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


    I used his 96 potm since it came out and really love his card but I was lucky enough to get his 98 Tots in a fut champs upgrade a couple of weeks ago so it’s not worth it for me to just get the +1


    also I’m hoping we get moments R9 on Sunday so going to keep every bit of fodder I have for that.


    there’ll also be a 99 kante or mane sbc tomorrow

    Messi fits in perfectly with my Verratti, Atal, Acuna and Dybala.. I’ll be doing him to have a frontline of TOTS CR7, Dybala and Messi.



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


    1hr30 and I’ve completed Messi all from my club.. opened whatever packs I got and put dupes into the 81+ which gave some nice fodder as well. Managed to hold a few high rateds in case I want to finish off Dinho.



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


    the 81+ player pick is unreal. I did about 20 of them and got 17 special cards ie tots including Acuna and Locatelli as well. Bloody EA have put a temp lock on me bidding on rare golds as I was just spamming it. I reckon if I had kept going I could actually complete Messi with the 200k in coins I have just from the 81+



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,308 ✭✭✭Pyjamarama


    Thats prob the final team unless i do a tiny bit of trading to upgrade the Silva to Varane and go with Amavi at lb then. Everyone bar Militao is untradeable. Very happy with it given i only started playing when the game became free on EA play, tho i got super lucky in guaranteed player sbcs getting Mbappe and Neymar in their respective ones. Now if only i didn't suck at the game so much.



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


    Oh, easily. I got Depay, Spinazzola, Maehle from 5 picks yesterday. And the other two were 88-91 TOTS from Saudi/CSL TOTS.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    ok folks, i have 214,000 coins and have completed the final 3 squads of the messi sbc 90/91/88

    i have an 85/86/87/87/88/89/90 to do and feck all fodder left, (only two players above 90 im willing to forego are ederson 94 and coutinho 92)

    Presume it cant be done.....?

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


    Do you have a silver team cyrus. Be worth doing 5 or so squad battles, you would end up with a ton of packs out of it with the two objectives at the minute, plus sub on players for the memory lane packs



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,308 ✭✭✭Pyjamarama


    Yup and if you do 5 icon swaps and trade them in for the 83+ and the 84+ packs you'll get a TON of high value fodder. (my 84+ was insane)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    i dont but im sure i can get one together! thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    cheers have already done the two 82 and 83 swaps and used them for something else!



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


    More than decent content drop by EA tonight Futties Fati in objectives - pretty easy to do 99 Futties Kante and 96 Renato Sanches.

    Done Kante, half way to Fati and then will do Sanches. After that will open the reminder of my packs and empty the club for Messi then that will be it. Got nearly 1.1m in coins but think I could do Messi for free - have around 100 TOTs card alone



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


    Renato and kante are surprisingly cheap.

    did renato. With moments R9 hopefully dropping Sunday I’ll hold off on kante to see what R9 is like, I’m expecting about 40 segments but hope to be able to do it.



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


    Why can’t there be this much to play for throughout the entire game cycle?

    I completed Messi and Sanches with fodder I had in my club from doing the 85+ and 87+ SBCs. Weekend league team looking like below… going to play to 15 wins and see if I can get any wins with a silver squad, 10 games in so far this weekend and I’ve only come across one brave soul so far with a silver squad.




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


    I’ve met 3 silver squads. Beat them all but 1 was really close, it was just a normal silver squad too with only 3 silver stars on it.

    he was clearly much better than me as a player but I just about got away with it with my moments ronaldinho and 99 neymar versus his 70 pace defenders 🤣



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


    Kante done, Renato done, Fati finished - that’s me done for today! Weekend League? nah not for me, out for a Curry instead :)



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


    Getting sick of rivals now - every single game it’s the same sweats over and over spamming skill moves every 2 seconds. It’s so boring to play against.



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


    R9 is here, just the 27 squads required including 2x92, 2x91 and 2x90 squads. Anyone taking it on? Think I’ll stick to doing Messi



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Finished my first weekend league! 15 wins out of 29 games and I gifted the last one to someone not great but not the worst I wanted to get the 3 weekend league plus picks.

    Can't see myself doing it again if I'm honest some rivals matches during the week suits me fine!



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


    Went 8-7 on WL but I didn't have time for anymore. In the evening when the cans came calling I came up against a player who kept going backwards. It was 2-1 to them with 30 to go, and I had a ball of chances and it was such a struggle to get the ball I gave it up and turned the PS4 off.



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


    It’s almost impossible to win a weekend league game with a silver team!! I had 7 games to play after getting to 15 wins with a ligue 1 team then kept coming up against 195/196 rated teams, was close with a few and should’ve won at least three! One went to penos and the last game I won after a RQ when I scored in the first couple of minutes. It’s so not worth doing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,202 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Just a heads up not sure if the weights have changed but i previewed a 7.5k gold pack last night and it had a tots player in it so bought it, next one had a 5k position modifier so bought that, next one had tots cancelo and one after that had tots Theo,

    made about 150k in coins.
