I’ve no idea where you’re all getting the coins from

Nobody wants to buy my varane (a week unsold) but even outside of that, I’ve failed to sell any of the bigger players I’ve put up. (Firmino, sanches, varane, lacazette (early in the game)]

Any coins I’ve gotten from games I’ve had to use to help complete sbcs, and most of the bigger sbcs have passed me by completely.

If you've listed him for a week then you must be well overpriced no?

Define overpriced? Up until today most people had him up at 310k+

I’ve had him listed at 300k starting..yesterday/today asking price has dropped by 30/40k with a lot starting at 260/270k but all week it was there or thereabouts I think

Tried him a while back i didnt like him but i was comparing him to kante and renato sanchez for mobility so maybe i wasnt fair.

It depends on your style of play I suppose. If you are going with 3 in midfield then maybe you can afford to go with someone more attack minded.

I have seen people using Firmino in a 3 man midfield as he actually has some reasonable defensive stats, pop a catalyst on IF Firmino and that's a pretty terrifying team.

I actually need to try that sanches myself but I only play 2 in midfield.

Genuinely did, why would I bother posting just to lie about it?

Now, I can’t say everyone did..but each time I listed I checked the prices available and set it 10k under. There have been a lot available though, so maybe it’s just bad luck with timing and choice.

Looks like it’ll be 240k or so now if I can sell though. At some point I’m probably better off holding it for a high end sbc. Anyway, not a big deal one way or the other, just constantly amazed at the sums of coins people have managed to accumulate.

Are you using the pass button instead of shoot?
I just brought Lenglet in as I have him untradeable and he’s 2 for 2 now from headers. Been using the pass button for them.

No, using the shoot button. But a lofted cross.

I don't think anyone is accusing you of lying, in fairness.

The big issue you're facing is once you go above 100k, you're only going to have very picky, well educated buyers. They'll be on the look out for the cheapest card possible. Usually, if you splash out on a player, you have to be prepared to take a big hit, unless you time your own buy right.

I was lucky or unlucky depending on your point of view to pull Varane twice in packs, so it’s all profit if I manage to sell

Fair point above obviously, it’s a much bigger decision than picking up some fillers for sbcs so it’s a combination of timing and luck with the market.

Aguero with +10 Pace and -5 Shooting. SBC is about 450k.

Oh very nice.
I’m very tempted to be honest.
Alway loved using Aguero back in the 2012/2013 days.
Only thing is bloody Mbappe is an absolute beast.

I like the idea, and I'd like to see it used on players who played different positions throughout their career, like a LB Bale, I just think this Aguero card being 430k more expensive than his regular card is a bit mental.

The speed boost is worth it though.
+14 for acceleration and +9 for speed.

No idea why they've made the quicksell value of these Record Breakers 70k, Falcao in particular is just sitting there with pages of him at min BIN

Ooh, packed a Havertz from the mega pack SBC just there. Always hate coming up against him so will be interesting to use. Gonna have to say goodbye to one of Thiago/Keita tho... and very reluctant to do so :pac:

Isn’t this Black Friday we’re you’re supposed to get deals and save money etc?? I don’t think Fifa understand this, overpriced SBCs (Aguero is a joke), lightning rounds with awful pack odds! Awful and impossible to pack rule breakers + MBappe thrown in just to sell Fifa coins.

I think this is an awful promo and shows us just what Fifa really think about us.

What we are witnessing is the effect of long term Data mining and AI, companies are now experts at giving the slightest of incentives and creating FOMO to exploit people into buying packs I picked up a bunch of player packs today and only got a single player 83+.

Honestly EA's pack code needs to be regulated properly, despite its closed source nature. Even the ruling forcing them to show the pack weights is a complete scam, just look at their labelling and don't even get me started on the > 1% nonsense.

You are basically walking into a casino, placing a bet on a game of roulette but where the house can alter the speed of the wheel at will.
