Oh you can actually purchase the packs too - I thought it was about the coins... :rolleyes:

How much does it cost to buy a gold pack then? Euro equivalent?

I bought 2,100 points for about €23 so

Gold = 80 points (About 90 cent)
Siliver = 40 points (About 45 cent)
Bronze = 20 points (About 22 cent)

Nope. If you think about it, there would just be loads of people searching for ones ending in the next couple of mins, and a massive amount of last min bids. You could bid with 1min left and have 10 bids after you, because everyone would be seeing the same players.

but the search engine is not working properly coz there r too many days left

I did that by accident, 6ft. 9 beast. Think Kevin Nash playing up front

Starting to get into the game now.
Originally going for the real high stats guys until I copped that chemistry is far more important.
Now settling for a 4-4-2 formation composed of Brazilian defenders and english midfielders and strikers.
Bit the bullet and sold Ibramhovic.. got 30K for him
That enabled me to buy Scot Parker and Reo Croker and still have 18K left. Good deal.
Getting Defoe/Paul Robinson in the same gold pack really helped as well

Is Chemistry really that much better than players. Have a fairly awful team (but just started today) and have been looking for better players, not chemistry

Bubs101

Also, how do you use the in game cards?

ive downloaded it, how do i start playing it?

christ ..:( where to start

get your team up and running.
For the moment for your existing players stick to the most common formation and to the same nationality...eg 4-4-2 and english.
If you look at your players you'll only see stats for 6 (i think) pace/dribbling/shooting/crossing/heading/defending.
Have high chemistry gives massive bonuses to your team's stats and can bring a silver card player upto gold player stats.
You could have the 11 best players in the world but their chemistry will be crap and you'll probably be beaten by a lower stat team who have better chemistry..that's why you see all the players like Messi/Ibhramovich etc for sale..and read the tutorials ..they can save you a lot of heartache.

for the ps3 it's as awkward as fcuk.

Just another thing on this, be sure to time it well. Some cards only apply to one player. As in, if you play the cross boost card when your center back has the ball, his crossing will be increased which is basically useless.

Its awkward. I usually don't use them unless I'm getting rode by a 99 Ronaldo.

Got this over the weekend it is very good almost like a brand new game for a tenner or so:D:D

So how much do players go for generally then? The best I have for sale is Rio Ferdinand, Manuel Almunia and Frank Lampard anyone know what they should go for?

Is there any quicker way to earn coins than the 500 or so you get for playing the games~?

I have the following cards for trade if anyones intrested:

John Terry (84) - Looking for Sergio Ramos
John Arne Riise (82) - Looking for Capdevila (Sp?) (Villarreal LB)
John Carew (81) - Open to offers
David Bently (79) - Open to offers

EDIT: Sold Keane

How much for Bentley, G?

My chemistry is much still - havent focused on it yet. Have only played ~15 games so far and have no superstars on my team yet! Although my created player is getting there

Have won most of my games (team now 3.5stars) and have used some of the gamecards wisely - the acceleration boost helped alot!

Really need to get a Ronaldo / Messi etc in one of my packs and sell them off to fund my team! They hard to find??

Yes, very! I did manage to fluke Ronaldinho and Anelka out of one pack before, but then it was back to nearly all silver cards from gold packs! :pac:

Bubs101

Am starting to get the hang of this and have got 95 chemistry but no team depth ATM. Will consider any 4-3-3 cards people have atm bar keeper

thewools

Really have to look at getting my chemistry going soon though - but does it make a big difference really? If you have the players and are pretty decent at the game does it matter much??

Is there a list anywhere listing preffered formations of each players etc anywhere?
