FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

Does anyone have a particular player that 'follows' them around?

Mine is Muslera. If I opened 10 packs I'd get him in 3 of them.

I am absolutely sick of the sight of him.

RedRochey

Ah didn't realise Wes Morgan was only available for 12 hours! That's so annoying, why make it so short, especially on a Sunday night

Calvin

Last of the unusable commons / rare golds out of my club and into one of the 82+ pick and the 82+ guaranteed. Arthur and Van De Beek out of them :pac: that’ll be it for upgrades for me until TOTY when we go again.

Yeah but also DONT do that, right now literally all of the best TOTW players from this year are in packs, there is no better time to open it.

I did two, got delort in both. Beyond rigged

Osmosis Jones

Nearly time for FUTMAS, excited for this one, probably my favourite promo of the year. They're not always great value but getting multiple Player SBCs every single day is great.

Time to stock up on 85s

jayo26

I got pogba from prem upgrade. Not a bad return.

Boulders8

Did two of the 81-87 upgrade - got a base 84 and a TOTW 81.

Opened up the TOTW pack and got an 81 striker from Lique 1

Did pack 87 TOTW Gomez from a Rare Mega pack and he’s a game changer off the bench for me - running a Prem/La Liga hybrid team

Rossi IRL

Did 4 81-87 upgrades

Got 4x 81s

3 duplicate untradables

I reckon if I did the icon sbc I would get a duplicate untradable van der saar

74 82+ upgrades 570kish coins 5 walkouts son the best highest rated ter stegen, they should change the name of them to goalkeeper packs imo suits them better

edit: did all the 83+ upgrades too all 83 rated players im renaming sbcs as scam building challenges from now on

Yeah, I feel as if the upgrades have been nerfed massively this year compared to last. Used to pack so many more boards in the Ligue 1 packs alone.

$1 billion in in game sales between Sept-Dec 2019 alone. No wonder Ibra and Bale feigning ignorance and trying to get a slice of the pie!

Blazer

personally I hope they get their slice just to screw EA over...EA will just release more packs to make up for it, hell they'll probably buy the lads off with a promise of an icon card for when they retire.
Zlatan would definitely get one but I wouldn't put it past EA to not give him out out of spite..and to be honest I'd do the same too lol.

also futmas is coming 11th Dec

and some predictions

Can you imagine the strop Zlatan would throw if he didn’t get an Icon card, lol

Blazer

EA don't get to say Zlatan is not an icon..only Zlatan get to say this, and Zlatan is an icon. He says it.

Zlatan will say he is not an Icon, he is a God! Mind you Zlatan probably thinks he is beyond a God too, lol

Mr Moon

Thought I could grind out an icon pack by doing the 81-87 packs.

Done 5 and got nothing over 82!!

Blazer

rare player pick is more fun...if you're going to get low cards you might as well do that

Had no luck with them yesterday either :rolleyes:

Came up against a guy using Kasper Schmeichel in goal... bloody hell. Ended 1-1 and his keeper made 10 saves and MOTM.. literally everywhere in the goal.

I use Kasper but can’t have been me as even he couldn’t save me from shipping loads of goals thanks to my shoddy defending lol

Nick Pope is the keeper i have problems with, im guessing hes a bit glitchy, faced him in teams rated 86 and 87 yesterday and he was their best player

I used him for the Bellerin objective and thought he was a mess. Maybe I should give him a go in the full team as all Div 1 players seem to use him (that I've seen online, lowly Div 3 here)!

100 IFs in my transfer pile now :S Been slowly adding to it, and just hit the 100 for the first time.

Osmosis Jones

Just realised the Best of TOTW and Record Breakers are all out of packs now, so nothing in packs for rewards Thursday, with nothing planned this week until Friday I don't se why they can't just leave them in, surely that would sell more packs anyway.

They want you buying packs. But if you actually get great cards, there's less reason to buy packs in the future.

They want you thinking you can get the cards, but rarely actually get them :pac:

The Managerial masterpiece objectives are fun to point. They need a hard max OVR limit of about 84/85 though. Sick of 1st-minute subs of Mbappe/Ronaldo.

I wouldn't mind but half the lads who do it can't even use them properly

Quick sold a duplicate 85 and could see him sitting in quick sell recovery so I could open the packs I had saved up and planned to recover him in a day or two when there was an SBC I wanted to commit to.....today he isn't there?

I checked yesterday evening and he was? I have no players discarded in the last 30 days?

stephenl15

Got Pirlo in the second Icon SBC to go with George who I got first time round. Not the best...

My mate got R9!

Also into div 1 for the first time

Anyone thinking of saving packs for TOTY? If I can get on tomorrow, i should hit rank 1. Thinking of saving from here on and just opening the 7.5k and below packs to keep a healthy club stock.

I’m already saving packs, had 100 the other day but opened a few to see if I could hit anything good before the record breakers promo finished but no luck, and just to replenish my club as running out of players for SBCs.

Only downer is can’t tell which packs are tradable/untradeable

Blazer

Its a waste of time I find.
Out of the shedloads of people who do it and stream the openings of hundreds of packs I can't ever remember any of them ever getting a toty.

Yup, getting v bored of it at this stage. At the point where I just quit the game as soon as someone pauses before kick off as it's just non-stop Loan Mbappe / Dembele / Cantona etc.

Yup been saving since Rulebreakers went out of packs. Opened a few of my 'worst' packs last week just to get some players into the club for SBCs. Gold Packs, Electrum etc.

Yeah this. Between TOTY, FUTBirthday & PL TOTSSF last year I looked back and counted that I opened over 500 packs during those 3 promos and the only Promo players I actually packed was TOTSSF Kovacic and a TOTSSF from the Championship.

Gameplay was a farce last night. While it wasn't laggy but I was being heavily penalised for having a superior team to a player with just a bog standard gold team.
Every tackle my defenders made his players all got up faster to win the ball back or the ball bounced to their teammates.
Every save my keeper palmed away fell away to his players.
Every shot I took hit the post, Suker couldn't hit a barn door and same for Mbappe.
I had 4 games like that. Absolute joke.
Sold them both , got Martial in rare pick so he slots in nicely alongside Ben Yedder. Only thing is I also got Werner the same way and that ****er always scores against me.

Anyone else think rttf Renato Sanchez is best box to box midfielder on the game?

The amount of games he wins me either by interceptions or popping up with goals is crazy.

Used his IF for the last WL and he was a dream, breaks everything up and always making that run into the box to score vital goals.

Exactly this. I started out with his inform but sold it to get the rttf card, if he gets an upgrade this month all his stats will be in the 80s, kinda reminds me of Nainnagolin from a few years ago with Napoli

That’s true. One reason I’m doing it is to stop the temptation this year to spend money on TOTY.

Came up against a fella with UVF as his team name. Of course I had to switch to try-hard mode and battered the fella 6-2.. up to 13k rival points now. I’ll try get in another game later on just to be safe as the cut-off is at 12800 atm.
