Did one Any TOTSSF - got an 88 NZ LB from Aussie League.
Put him into another - got a 86 Romanian League LW

I didn’t even know these leagues had a team of the season!!! Think I’ll take a break from these now

Down to my last 3 packs now as opened a few more after my TOTSSF woes - a bit better luck with a FUT Birthday Cancelo and then a 92 Ginter TOTSSF which is tradeable

+1 on that. Great right back and 5 star skills makes him fun to use.

Ronaldo just scored a penalty so Juvenile 1 up in early stages of second half vs Lazio so Danilo on course for a +3 upgrade in the summer showdown match

*edit: 3 minutes later, Ronaldo scores again

95 OVR Muller with my first go of the new TOTS SBC, thrilled with that for my Bundesliga team!

Got him as a red pick about a month ago, one of the best players I’ve used this FIFA.

2 x TOTS packs.
2 x Tagliafico.
Yep.

2 of them myself too:

93 Visca
86 RWB from Exeter

Club is back to being in ruins again... no players from 81-84 rated :pac:

I’m the same, got a lot of players 75-79 though I think so will try and plough them into the 82-88 and eke out another TOTSFF pack although in two minds as to whether to just do Masuaku if I get the players for it as I do need a LB for my PL team

BrentMused

Does anyone find building your team, doing the SBC's, opening packs etc more fun than actually playing the game itself?

If there was no Ultimate Team I think I could take or leave FIFA overall, but I really enjoy the aspect of building your team.

I haven't spent a penny on it and got the game for a tenner a couple of months back in the PS Store sale, but I can definitely see how people get hooked on buying packs etc :pac:

At this stage of the game, I’m 100% more interested in opening packs than playing- a few weeks ago I had over 150 but now down to single figures. Was ploughing everything into the previous 85-92 upgrade but haven’t found the current 82-88 as profitable.

I’ve never spent any real money on FIFA points and never will. The only points I’ve ever had were from when renewing PSN subscription

Went back into Twitch and have now received Pack 6 even though it said I had successfully claimed it before it never arrived and let me claim it again and it arrived instantly - still no sign of pack 5 though

Edit: was worth it in the end, just opened it and the player pick was one of 83 UCL, Draxler, 85 TOTW Rui Patricio, 92 TOTSSF Cudrado and 83 Romangnoli.

Obviously took Cudrado making him my 8th Serie A TOTSSF from packs.

Also did a couple of 82-88 upgrades- 83 UCL Bernardeschi and 88 Coman UCLRTTF.

Do RTTF cards get upgraded if their teams go further on the competition?

Lord TSC

Oooooh, just saw the new "Rarity" filter on the web app. Awesome.

I think they should’ve left it at console and companion app. Having it on web app makes sniping bots 100x easier to do.

In saying that tho, companion app is still broken as **** so not sure why they haven’t fixed that first :pac:

Osmosis Jones

Serie A packs reissued but only to those who actually packed a Community TOTS.

That's probably why it took them 4 days to fix it, they had to figure out who packed Community cards and who didn't, not only would it have made far more players happy if they just reissued packs to everybody but it actually would have been way less work for EA too.

Yeah, that’s a bit ****ty of them alright given iirc, the last **** up with the Sancho TOTS, everyone that opened the pack during that time got another free pack. Classic EA though, lacking consistency in every decision.

I thought the quick sell recovery reset every week ... Just lost RTTF Conan for an SBC as I had him duplicate but I can't quick sell recover him .. and he was very good. Damn them anyway, did not understand that was how it worked.

Adamcp898

Anyone have both SH Ribery and Vinicius Junior able to tell me is there much of a difference between them? Have Vinicius and Ribery would fit my LW spot also but not sure if he’s an upgrade or not. Total stats and in game stats are practically identical.

I have both, Ribery is far better! I play him as striker though.

This is my conundrum, I feel both would be good CAMs but I have Dembele and he’s nearly elite card level I feel so won’t be swapping. Have TOTS Benzema at ST and I don’t know if it’s time to reluctantly retire him or not. He’s been a beast for me.

Makes running through the Colemball SBCs so, so much easier though.

Its actually quite unusual that they've made life easier for traders in that regard....

BrentMused

Anyone think we'll be getting an Ultimate TOTSSF SBC soon or no chance?

I'm debating whether to sink my upcoming Rivals and Weekend League rewards and remaining higher rated players that I don't use into the Any TOTSSF again or hold them for a potential Ultimate TOTSSF.

Although I note the previous requirement was an 89 rated team with 70 chemistry so it might be a non-starter for me anyway!

Boulders8

Danilo now upgraded to 95. Anyone done Pulisic SH yet? I’ve cobbled enough players together to do him - the 82-88 upgrades have been a bit kinder. Probably should do Masuaku before Pulisic but defenders are boring even though he would be a significant upgrade on my current PL LB options

Can run through a fair few more 82-88’s before Masuaku expires so hopefully can get him done.

SH sissoko sbc incoming.

Was getting worried about my lack of French options!

Might throw Dembele into him, cause I think Sissoko is what I wanted out of him.

Been running League SBCs this morning and made about 170k profit. Drop rates are insane right now. At the very least, 81-82s are 2500 or so (I've packed Pulisic three times), but I'm packing a 20k+ player once every three or so packs, and even got Carvajhal too for a handy 95k.

I’m talking it you actually mean Ndombele and not Dembele

Adamcp898

Hopefully he’ll be what Pogba should’ve been as well

Osmosis Jones

This'll be Sissoko's third non-performance based special card of FIFA 20.

chips1234

got moreno tottsf from the 50k pack for 25 wins objectives and taraabt from another any totssf, can prob squeeze an icon pack out if i put petit in but, then will be missing a cdm if i dont pull one even tho petit is the drizzling ****s, feel like the any totssf sbc is better than the icon one mainly because im expecting disappointment in the tots one and obv always expecting R9 from the icon pack

Osmosis Jones

Not that anyone cares but they've also just forgotten to announce the TOTW this week.

I don't know why they'd release Ndombele and Sissoko SH cards! It's practically the same card. Both very similar players.

Yeah but he's French!!

There are currently 11 Summer Heat French players, Sissoko would make it 12.

There have been 13 special Irish cards all year, including TOTS, TOTW, and Icons, and you can only get 11 of them because one was a 3 way player pick SBC

Hogey007

No new player objective again and the 1 ucl player sbc is back.
They did release a totw, just weren’t bothered their hole to tweet about it.

Ea trolling big time again

Hogey007

Haven’t played much fifa last few days as nothing in player objectives and been enjoying the last of us.

Played a few games today and kept coming up against self relegators, I couldn’t figure out why, there’s is no rival based player objectives, then I thought “are people actually that pathetic and stupid that they’d self relegate for the few packs you get from rivals wins in objectives”? Instead of just naturally getting the wins? You can use your best team, just play people at your own level and try and enjoy the game!!

But as I mentioned, been playing the last of us 2, and actually can’t wait to put it on each day, that’s what a computer game should be, fun and relaxing!
Imagine if you had a separate app for last of us where you had to trade several hours a week just to get the tools to play

Same! Except been playing BOTW. Play one or two in the morning alright, just to get rank 3 for rivals rewards. Can’t not use Neymar after splashing the 3.8m on him :pac:

Mr Moon

That Pulisic card is a lot of fun to play with! Already dropped Trezuguet cos of him!

Same for me.
I’ve barely played about 10 games for the past 2-3 weeks.
Been paying dayz and it’s far more enjoyable
Made the decision this morning to delete the game and be done with it for good.
Nothing about it appeals to me at all anymore.
It’s just a pale shadow of the games I used to enjoy.

Lord TSC

Son and Marquinos in red picks. Counting Son as a big win.

Mr Moon

G2 Red Picks:

94 Hulk
87 Gueye
90 Luis Alberto
86 Opazo

86 Coman
87 Marchesin
93 Insigne
84 Van Aanholt

Nothing spectacular at all!

BrentMused

Anyone get anything decent in their rewards?

I got untradeable Diego Carlos TOTSSF which was my best pull.

I have TOTWN Neymar who I always sub on in my Bundesliga team at kick-off but I'm tempted to change things up a bit using Carlos and Neymar as the basis for it.

Ah, so that explains it. I was flying in Rivals recently but played 6 games yesterday, drew 2 and lost the other 4. I was getting destroyed and couldn't do a thing right.

I said to myself there's either something going on here or I have just gotten awful overnight. Turned it off in a huff after the 6th game. :pac:

I felt like eveyone I played yesterday was an elite player. It's really frustrating.

Roberto Carlos in my Icon SBC.

So that’s Roberto and Diego Carlos at the back now! :pac:

100%. Went from comfortably sitting on the border of div 4/5 and dropped all the way down to low div 6 with my best squad too. All players I’ve come up against are just top tier, miles better than me.

It’s going to get worse over the next few weeks, till the next game.

There’s a reason they are throwing special cards out like wildfire. The casual player is close to gone. The only ones playing Rivals during the week are the absolutely hardcore players like us.

Why do the likes of them even bother with fifa if self relegating just for a few packs, unless they’re back up to their own division by this morning they’ll lose out a lot more on division rewards.

Can understand self relegating a little when it’s an objective where you need wins with finesse shots or through balls etc as I’d imagine in the top divisions they’re tough to do.

But when it’s solely wins and you can use your best team what’s the point of playing the game at all if you need to drop several divisions to batter people much worse than you.

I just want to play against similar skilled people.
