FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

The 100 'Best Of' items will be in packs for one more week.

It’s actually annoying me now how awful they are. Kante quickly getting up there too, is everywhere but the DM position where I need him to be. Can’t remember the last time CR7/Messi scored for me.

Vieira is class at cb imo

I wouldn’t even bother with any other upgrade SBCs.. just do the 85x10 and you’ll have Messi and any other SBC done in no time.

i have done loads and best pulls have been mbappe (once and i didnt realise i packed him til later on!), lewa multiple times, Bobby F once, acuna, paredes, oblak multiples.

no neymar but i have SS and no CR7 but i have the 99 version anyway.

Acuna, Verratti, Lewa, Hazard, Foden loads. Outside of that, SS Sterling and TOTS Messi are the only ones I’ve had once. Haven’t gotten any other notable 98+. I really only want Firmino anyway for my Liverpool team.

My club has <10 commons/rares left. I’ve been recycling them all into the 85x10 and icon SBCs.. have 5 squads left for R9.. might do Vieira after that as I’m hearing great things about him as a CB.

99 Utd CR7 has genuinely been one of the worst strikers I’ve used this year. Relegated down to div 3 from div 1 with a frontline of PIM Pele, CR7, Messi/R9. Ive got 25 games, 10 goals and 4 assists. Messi equally as bad, so dropping both to the bench.

yeah ill be going back to atal, renato, verratti and acuna, prime maradona, 99 CR7 & Messi and prime R9 arent making me any better thats for sure, nor is PIM Gullit, vieira i might keep at cb

Is the problem with CR7/Messi etc. not due to every team you're playing now having the best possible defence and midfield?

Feel like the game mechanics slightly rely on attackers having more pace than defenders, and now that everyone has 99 pace it doesn't work too well.

PIM Vieira into my midfield was the move… a million miles better than Kante, his physical presence especially. Him, Acuna and Renato and I’ve got control back in my midfield. PIM Pele banging them in now too… R9 has 5 goals in 10 and CR7 still a bit iffy, but happy enough.

that said just got sterling and vini in a 85x10 :D

seems fine i guess, i was using oblak prior and liked him too, none of then keepers blow me away.

he's awful. Van Der Sar and Schmeichel are miles better than him. After a few days just to make sure I was being fair on him I immediately threw him into the 85+x10 SBC

why is he over 1m on the market, i dont get it

I’m kinda glad really.

I’ve been hammering it at least 20 times a day but I’m pretty sure I’ll get a good run tomorrow as well :)

Presume they come out of packs tmrw?

FYI for anyone playing 22, EA play is reduced to a euro for 1 month so you can play the 10hr early access and if you haven’t bought 22, you can get a 10% discount on the ultimate edition which includes the 4600 points + OTW player on release day.

edit: early access also has a limited time friendly mode that gives pack rewards, an objective that gives an 80-84 PP + 10 game loan TOTW + a whole other host of things, which actually makes the early access somewhat decent value.

Did about 45 of the pim pp over the last 2 weeks, best pulls we’re r10 who I already had untradeable and then vieira was only other big one. Got pele and gullit sbc’s done though which was unexpected and cool, I already had R9 and zidane so no real areas for improvement, woulda like Maldini.

anyway, despite not hitting anyone massive, I am happy to have got the best midfield of all time first owners, giggs, scholes, keane and Beckham.

I know they don’t meet the fifa Meta but last year I found from when fifa ended to December as the most relaxed time for anyone hanging around and I’ll def be using my united team and creating Barca teams, ac Milan’s teams etc from my icon picks for the craic

looking forward to just playing fifa 21 now for the craic rather than “having” to play X amount of games for fomo.

no intention of getting fifa 22 but I will do the 20 hour trial and if I were to get an mbappe like osmosis last year they’d probably reel me in
