The teams for this stage of the game are still pretty wild. I’ve enjoyed how easy it has been to “keep up”.

TOTW VVD in club, 92 KDB in reserves…

Blew $50 on packs yesterday. Started without really using microtransactions but now I understand why FUT is the real money maker. Sometimes I enjoy the card collecting more than the actual gameplay. Packed Bompastor's new hero card - insanely responsive - and TOTGS Saka, which is my favorite player to control right now. I prefer his left stick over POTM Mbappe and the random Centurions Icon Ronaldinho that I packed off of a 10 coin engagement pack.

I'm glad the real money store is banned where I live. Otherwise I'd definitely spend way too much buying packs.
Sick that you have the best players though, who do you even want to pack anymore once you have Potm Mbappe and Ronaldinho lol

I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that I don't really like Mbappe as his dribbling is more awkward than the female NWSL striker rotation (Gold Morgan/Debinha and EOAE Rapinoe/Sinclair) I was using up front, I don't know how to use skill moves, and I don't really know how to play a long ball defensive style where his main attribute of pace would really shine. I mostly play a possession based game where my defenders are pushing up to my halfway line. I get caught on the break fairly regularly too, unfortunately.

The main reason I did his SBC was that this is my first full season of FUT and I missed last year's Mbappe SBC. Also, hype from streamers.

Honestly loans and drafts are really helpful before committing to an SBC. Like for example for reason I just don’t really vibe with Gullitt after trying him a few times in draft

If you guys have a gold Donyell Malen (from Dortmund) lying around he's worth 10k right now because if you have your founders evo 2, founders upgrade, and the finisher evo that came out today you can turn him into a toty level card basically.

Nope but speaking of glitches EA accidentally released a player pick which by my back of the envelope calculations gave a 22% chance of getting TOTY Messi.

it's fut birthday and that means lots of OP cards that nobody except streamers will ever get!


HOWEVER i just got fut birthday Van Der Sar from the daily 15 coin pack so now I never have to worry about GK ever again and he's a straight upgrade compared to schmeichel everything else aside because of the nation link.


is anyone even still playing this crap? i took a break for several weeks but other than that still truckin'

yep still playing, but took a few weeks off champs because I was traveling to Europe from the US. I kept up with SBCs and almost every squad battle using ps5 remote play.

My fav mode is still clubs.

My partner was watching something exceptionally long earlier so while she was occupied I used the web app to cycle exchanges and about 400 80+ picks.

In the very last 10 I was planning to do I got 5* SM Benzema which leaves me a massive dilemma. Packed WW Ronaldo last Sunday, have 92 Mbappe and Werner. Beyond spoiled for choice!

Edit: Current team - scrolling back still three players holding on from my late Dec squad

How is everyone else’s team doing?

Also my Yaya, after putting my entire fodder reserves through upgrades came from a random 77x3. Never pack anything from the big stuff. This year does seem super easy to get an outstanding team though.

I actually really enjoyed using that Fuhrich in an objective squad. He’s like a really low composure Cruyff. Same body and height.

The upgrades suit him nicely and he should be guaranteed 91 with 92 a longer shot.

A few months back I bought '24 and everyone's squad was so overpowered compared to mine I dipped out and refunded the game through Steam. Thinking about diving in again, should I bother or wait till 25? I've been jumping into FIFA23 and there is still a player base and I've been having a ball so I might just wait till the next cycle.

random poo poo from the last play session, Lewandowski is insane.

very nice. i packed fut birthday de jong in addition to van der sar and packed the better version of van persie from the new promo but of course the absolute highlight of the promo is the Crouch objective card who I immediately unlocked and put into the evo. He's amazing so far, a slightly less broken version of the striker Cech sbc from last year.

I am getting some 90ish rated golazo every couple of packs or so at this point, i have a small army of 90-92 rated strikers

Through relentless exchanges and picks I’ve somehow ended up with 96 Puskas, 94 Cafu, 94 Drogba, 93 Roberto Carlos (after doing the 92 SBC…) and pretty much all the other fodder promos (including Lampard 6 times).

Not proud of the 3-4000 picks over the last couple weeks but Puskas is incredible. Breezed to 7 straight wins in Div 3 and won my first three Quals earlier. 10 games, 19 goals, 5 assists. Insane.

The exchange -> pick -> exchange loop combined with better pack weight has made this probably the most enjoyable promo for me. Hopefully EA will close out the year on a high note

This is what I ended up with (for now):



I was running an entire first owner squad, but said gently caress it and bought Renard, Majri and Hansen. Wanted to buy a better version of Hansen but I ran out of coins :)
I also packed 93 rated Cech but somehow he's crap?

It’s just been in rivals since I don’t have time to play weekend league but Pele has 27 goals in 17 games so far. I’m really kicking myself though for missing the Rolfo SBC since I really liked her gold card. I just totally checked out those few weeks since I was abroad for a wedding
