FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

Rock Lesnar

Changed my mind on Torres, i need to get him, but i know i wont, unless i break my rule on not buying points/packs, lol

Mr Moon

I done two 80+ picks before they expired and got 87 Bruno and 87 Bernardo Silva.

Sevilla won so Acuna gets a +2 upgrade.
Sometime in 2021

Why is the max price for Insigne only 18k and for other 85s it's 30k?

Could be cos the others were extinct at some point and had their price ranges increased... not entirely sure though. That’d be my guess.

Raging I didn’t do him, he looks way better than Mendy and with the upgrade he has to be.

BrentMused

Packed TOTGS Bruno from the second party pack - yay!

Doesn’t seem to be too much difference between that and his POTM.

When is icon swaps 2 out?

Jan 1st I think.

Acuna already upgraded.
Looks damn tasty.

Anyone used both varane and vvd? Which did you prefer? Packed vvd this morning tradable. Is he worth selling varane for?

Varanne hands down, IMO.

VVD never played in a way that justified his price for me.
Varaneplays like he should be five times more expensive.

Remember kids no matter how bad your pack luck, nothing is quite as bad as having this happen.... Castro blind player pick

Love that he thinks his chat is winding him up too and he mocks them until he realises his mistake.

Mr Moon

This could be a game changer!!

Feel like I’m playing Tekken with all these button mashed for skill moves :pac: looks very good though, basically a stronger fake shot.

God Castro is so ****in annoying.
But he only does it to bring in the viewers. The younger fans love him apparently.
He was giving Marshal tips on increasing his subscribers and told him he needs to overreact more etc and hype everything up.
I don't blame Castro..he's only feeding into his audience and what they like.

That's honestly the same with almost all big twitch streamers. Any of the super popular ones tend to put on a show to keep people interested, when you consider peoples attention spans nowadays it does make sense. That's why they are all super obsessed with engagement with the chat and doing polls etc.

There are plenty of good streamers out there that don't overreact in this way but unless they have something really special they won't hold the interest of the casual viewer.

I’d do it as well if I was on >6 figures a year for FIFA :pac: I don’t tend to watch streamers at all... usually just stick to YouTube and RTFM or Inception/Marshall if I need a review on a player.

He's a tool.

But it worked out well for him, the amount of views etc he'll get off this is well worth it.

Might be a blessing in disguise, if there were actual usable players we'd end up with 3x 76 rated picks. This way there is a chance to snag some high rated fodder.

oh yeah...I'll leave base icon sbc off till tomorrow then

As for Garrincha...I was originally delighted to get him but he can't unseat Alessandrini.
His workrates are awful and you really have to work to get the little bastard to move so he's been benched.

oh that's a shame, have you tried him as a CAM? Maybe the work rates wouldn't impact him as much in that role.

But yeah Alessandrini is unbelievably good, I still hate myself for missing his SBC.

yeah he's ok at CAM but better as a supersub really.
Although I do have freezer Aouar as well as a sub.

Calvin

As much as I wanted to love alessandrini, I couldn’t get him going at all. Played CAM, ST and RF but he just didn’t do anything and missed sitters constantly. Bench player now and I hardly play him as Van Bergen is miles better.

Yeah he blows hot and cold for me. Still better than Garrincha.

Rock Lesnar

Lads im thinking of buying €20 worth of points, if i were to buy packs, would the 35k mega pack be the best? Or 50k packs

Blazer

Flashback Ben Arfa... ooh yeah.

Careful now, those are the same workrates as Garrincha...

TOTW not as bad as feared. Red Rashford would be nice....

I know
But I’ve always loved his cards especially as I’m a magpies fan.

Iago

Just packed Messi in a ‘2 rare player 75+ pack’ reckon that’s a winner.

Not sure he fits in my team though

Mr Moon

Did we get pre order packs on Sunday? I’m saving packs and can only see the first 30 packs, I’ve checked the web app but none say pre order just not sure if it would say that on the web app.

No, none got last Sunday.

I eventually picked up fifa 21 as another lockdown was looming and figured I’d get it now to get the icon swaps.

I’m very much going at it as a casual, not going to trade or anything so no super teams like I had the last 3 years.

Headliners starting Friday I see so toty will be another week or 2 away

I've done this Hogey, picked it up a few weeks ago, played a couple of nights but other than that, it's turd.

Edit: also, just pulled the wired connection and went onto wireless for an unrelated reason ...... the speed up lag is still there over wireless, what a company. Disappointed I bought it tbh.

Haha thanks, I blame Lord TSC for my return, when I seen him talking about getting Cantona the other week it gave me a craving to start playing again

Ah sure if it can keep me occupied a bit for this next lockdown I’ll take it. Def not getting sucked in like other times.

They always come back
I fully expect your TP to be over 5m by the time TOTY rolls around

I did fill my transfer list with the Inter version of Joao Mario before my 10 hour trial expired as he had just got a transfer, they’re all selling at 5-6k now so at least it gives me a few hundred k for a starter team

But other than that I’ve no big plans, it’s too time consuming

Just put together that Base/Mid Icon SBC...

Blazer

Awesome.
Choice of 2 x82 and a 78 for my red picks.
Think I’ll just drop WL

Lord TSC

Carassco and Garcia as my reds. Former might be somewhat useable.

Going to skip this weekend though. Going to grind out the Icon tokens from squad battles then take a few weeks off the game, o think.

Edit; untradeable Salah from arrivals. Not bad.

Parawind

Al Soma and Izzo, exactly who I have been waiting to get!

So from the 8 picks I had only Al Soma that was not from the bench. I don't expect much from these rewards but yikes.

Blazer

Looking at the base or mid icon sbc the rewards are horrifically bad.
Out of 21 I’ve seen only 4 were considered a win.
That’s shockingly bad.

Bunny Colvin

Izzo and Edouard.

chips1234

cancelo and took edouard over saiss did joao felix from the fodder + some coins cant really say anything about him yet since gameplay has been hilariously bad this morning.

Rock Lesnar

9 packs to open, took the rivals option 3 instead of 57k and best i got was base untradeable Thiago Silva, Joe Gomez and Kevin De Bruyne, luckily i have Gomez and De Bruyne already so they are on the transfer list, should make a nice profit

Mr Moon

G2 Rewards:

84 Maignan
82 Saiss
79 Melgarejo
82 Bernardoni

82 Muriel
81 Edouard
82 Bernardoni
80 Linssen

What is with the rubber banding in the managerial masterpiece friendly? Need 1 win for bellerin, 2 up in 10 mins and rubber banded. Ffs. What is the gain?
