    definitely. I'm using auzio's tactics and that brought me from div7 right upto div3 and nearly at div2.

    I have Coman - Mbappe - Sane as my front three.

    Nice. I was looking to get him as I’ve no free kick specialist.

    from the 25k pack.

    Confirmed by EA in a video this evening that any players in divisions 6 and above will drop 2 divisions when the new season starts (including players in Elite).

    Also we'll need to get 2,000 points to have a go at the Playoffs instead of 1,500 🙄



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


    Dropping divisions is nice… raising the points isn’t. Although being honest, I can’t remember the last time I was collecting points for champs. Always seems to have the “playing in champs” written across the screen so I can’t see any points.



  • Administrators Posts: 56,307 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    2000 points is fine IMO, once you get to a high enough division getting the points is not an issue.

    Between the pity points for failing playoffs or the rewards points for getting to finals you’re pretty much never starting from 0 anyway.

    Very nice. I’ve never packed an icon.

    Did about 20 more 78+ pick SBCs tonight and got absolutely nothing. Not doing any more, no sure what to do with my coins at this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,888 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Anybody use rulebreakers Zakaria? Thinking of using him at CDM along with Kimmich, he's fairly cheap at the minute, under 30k, looks a very nice card, apart from his H/M work rates

    Edit: bought him at 28k



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    With this in mind I think I'll do a lot of those 78+ player picks before it expires later, as I'll end up getting the rares I put in back from those packs anyway!

    Did 10 when it dropped and got nothing at all really, not even decent fodder, so hoping for some better luck this time around!



  • Administrators Posts: 56,307 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    The rivals season rewards are going to be good to me tomorrow. I can feel it in my waters.

    Also realised that the RTTK cards aren't going to get their upgrade for another month-ish, bit annoying.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    First 20, pulls of note:

    Mane (Werner was in the same pack), Dybala (handy 20k as I have him tradeable), Kroos, Rulebreakers Corona, and 2 discards TOTW's.

    That's an unreal return to be fair. I'll keep going and do another 20 after that! 😅

    Did anyone do the icon SBC? Wondering if anyone got anything decent or are you waiting for the fodder tomorrow to craft it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Not going to do it myself. I've learned my lesson on those after the last couple of years.

    There's a handful of base icons that are worth more than the SBC costs and the vast majority of those are the one in a million players like Cryuff, Eusebio etc.

    I've watched about 100 being opened on various streams and I reckon there's about 5 I'd have been happy with.

    One stream I watched yesterday opened 40 and no joke, Rui Costa came out 7 times and Paul Scholes 5 times! 😯



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


    Yep gonna stay away from it too. There's too much dross that you can get. I bought baby Seedorf myself yesterday, much rather save and buy what fits your team. The only way I'd consider it is if you had heaps of untradable fodder you wanted to get rid of.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭doc holliday


    Yeah I'll be doing it alright. I got ginola in the hero pack so I reckon my pack luck quota for the year is probably full but hey, who doesn't love opening an icon pack. I mean any one of these would be lovely, i'm not fussy.

    Bought heroes Jurgen Kohler, my god the guy is a monster in defence, paired him with Reece Oxford and in 2 games, my opponents only had 7 shots on goal, 6 scored of course but thats fifa, anyway can highly recommend him to anybody running a bundesliga team



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭doc holliday


    Are we getting season rewards for each milestone? - 20 wins, 50 wins and 90 wins or just for the milestone you finish on. Some youtubers seem to be of the opinion you get rewards for each milestone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Robertson and Koulibaly from the second group of 20. The rest mainly 81's and 82's with the odd 84.

    Ran through most of my gold rares up to and including 82 OVR now so will leave it at that, but I can't complain at all about what I pulled from those.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭doc holliday


    He was a brick wall for me - it's nice that pace is not as important in CBs as it used to be.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Unfortunately not.

    We were lead to believe that this would be happening, but EA sneakily changed the wording to indicate it would only be 20/50/90 depending on where you finish and not all rewards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,888 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Yeah he is in the right position 95% of the time when ai controlled, its great cos then i can user Oxford on the lads spamming stepovers

    Bloody hell, Di Natale is an absolute cheat code.

    3 games with him in division 1, I'm now on a 3 game win streak.

    First game - hat-trick

    Second game - 2 goals and an assist

    Third game - 1 goal and 2 assists

    He's glitching past the likes of Marquinhos and Varane like they're not even there! I think the opposition keeper has saved literally one of the shots he's had on target in those 3 games! 😳

    Can't wait to try him out in Weekend League.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Next game - 2 goals and an assist in a very close and tight 3-2 win.

    Me winning 4 games in a row in division 1 is a bit ridiculous really, Di Natale is a difference maker for sure.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,536 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    I came up against him for the first time in div3 and he ripped my defence apart. I have the coins for him but no way can I get him to fit in unless I drop Marquinhos, Donnarumma ,Kimpembe , Gorezekta and Mukiele.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Given the fact that there are so few Heros, it's a pity they didn't make them the same as Icons with the chemistry.

    That said I suppose that's what makes them unique and Di Natale would probably be double the coins if it was done like that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,888 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Analyst has a new tactics video out, 41212 narrow, guess we'll be seeing that now for the weekend



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


    Ooh, pretty decent TOTW the one week I don’t have time/am away. Opened my saved TOTW pack anyway to be greeted by some 82 rated Spanish midfielder :(

    they legit do not want people playin WL.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    I’ll buy you a Ben White to make up for it

    Nobody is allowed give away games from free.

    They must be blaming the sheer amount of people qualifying for WL and getting packs/TOTW cards for being the cause of the market crashing so early.


    Fairly **** of them tbh. I last played properly in 20 but had to be playing and trading 24/7 to build a nice team whereas this year the vast majority have been able to afford competitive squads without dedicating every waking moment to it. We know what EA would prefer.

    New promo looks like something you'd see in a Free2Play mobile game, they're selling ad space in a full purchase game.
