FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

Flashback Robben, definitely going for him for the laugh even though he only has a 2 star weak foot. Reasonably priced too - around 150K or so.

Calvin

Really taking the piss with those icon swaps :pac:

5 in SB, 1 swap that requires 18 WL wins and the other 3 are in the live fut friendly but have 3 separate parts to it similar to silver stars - win 6, score 10, assist 5. Everyone could see it coming, but hopefully the golden goal rule will live on.

AdamD

Potentially 30 squad battles, Christ.

Blazer

Those storyline cards are shocking.
A 85/86/87 card and they want me to grind for that rubbish?
I’ve cashed in my team and after this WL am going to park it for this season.

You can combine some, if you have 11 first owned silvers from liga nos you can get the first owned, silver and liga nos done in 1 go, cuts out a good few matches

Golden Goal is at risk too because they've put a limit on the amount of Friendlies you can play :rolleyes:

I hadn’t even copped that, they really can’t let people have any joy with the game, everything becomes a sweat fest.

I’m only back playing it 3 or 4 days and think I’ll be off back to play cyberpunk soon enough.

Jesus, didn’t even see that. Might give the base icon a skip so and just get the 83s and ultimate packs or something.

Osmosis Jones

Headliners get upgraded based on their team winning 4 matches in a row, so here's your objective card, an 84 rated player whose team hasn't won 4 games at all this season, and who last won 4 games in a row 8 years ago:

Parawind

Step 1 - Buy Mid Gullit
Step 2 - Do Robben SBC for that perfect Chem link.
Step 3 - Probably still lose but its going to be fun either way.

Its 60 games in One Nation where you need 14 wins, won't be an issue.

Those 75+ player thing in season progress annoys me, as does all the stupid tifos, no need for them, give us an 80+ player instead and no tifo

I’ve got 19 of those suckers to open

AdamD

I did the 10 score with full prem team objectives and it completed the la liga one too for some reason, not complaining.

Lord TSC

Yum, Headliners Bruno is 1.8m, and will naturally drop over the week.

91 rated and pretty much nailed on to get a 92 at some point, probably a 93. Can’t see him not getting an IF or United not winning four in a row at some point.

So he’s basically end game.

Will be keeping an eye on him over the week.

None on market already.

I can't do 30 games of this

Calvin

Just conceded 3 goals to that stupid ball juggle from kick off. None of my players could push Fati or Gnabry off the ball... luckily he didn’t know how to defend so I still beat him but still such a broken mechanic.

Never realised friendlies were taking so serious until last night, 3 depth, drop back, long ball, pacey striker, score and repeat

Probably more so at the moment as it’s the start of a new season and plenty of objectives to do. Other than the Cunha Headliners Objective the rest can be done at a more leisurely rate so I’d just leave it for a while and get it done when most of the toxic players are done

Its toxic, ball juggling from kick off, then i got 6 msg's from players who wanted golden goal, no probs, so i got it, they wouldnt concede, i just left, cant be bothered

Edit: i'll gladly sit through 50 SB matches after this and love them

this is basically friendlies in a nutshell tbh, full of weirdos who play drop back and spam through balls and message you and call you a try hard or sad if you do so much as a ball roll or tackle them even, basically they jsut join games hoping that people will let them do whatever they want.

GavK

How many icon swaps tokens are there in total ? 24 ?

Or you get the now regular "get good kid" message

Lord TSC

What are people doing with their tokens?

I’ve already got the 25x83 packs, so am leaning towards the Ultimate packs, 5x85 and a base icon pack.

Mgoraf

Was thinking of the base or mid pack from these 10 tokens but you'd be absolutely raging if you got a base and essentially wasted 2 tokens that could be used on the ultimate packs

dmigsy

I did the 85+ x5 Pack and the 83+ x25 Pack. Got nowt. Next 10 going on Base or Mid Icon pack. Looking forward to getting base Laudrup from it.

Going mid/prime pack and 5x85 with rest.

Yeah, I’d be of a similar mindset.

The lottery element sucks but you know you’re likely to get the same few options from a base pack as the base/mid. If it was just mids, I’d be more tempted. But if the lottery is what we have to play, I feel you get more options from a base pack and the ultimates.

stephenl15

Don't forget you can triple and double up the squad battles to get 5 tokens done in 12 games

GavK

Don’t think so. I count 14 Icon swap objectives for this batch. 5 squad battles ones, 1 weekend league one, 3 for icon swaps PL, 3 for Icon swaps La Liga and 2 for icon swaps One Nation.

yeah but the spanish and pl ones only give one token not 3 for the 3 objectives, nations one gives 2 then the other 6 in the squad battles and WL

No its defo 10. It's one token each for the one league

chips1234

oh btw, doing drafts on stream yesterday to open for headlines got myself a little prime socrates from a premium gold players pack

Scorpion Sting

They should just rename it Pack Swaps.

Rock Lesnar

Finally completed pl and la liga icon obj, will rest now til i play SB's later and i will love them

Iago

Playing wl for the second time to try and work towards 18 wins, I’ll definitely need all 6 weeks to have any chance so have to try it. 0 from 3 so far as I work towards my ranking. Would be delighted with 4 wins in the league this weekend.

I know some of you might think I’m being falsely modest or whatever but I’m pretty sure I’m the only fifa player who is currently benching messi for moura because the extra speed is more valuable than anything i’m capable of with messi

This is a tough slog

Literally. Pack rewards are 10x better than the card rewards.

Hogey007

I just Took Koeman from icon swaps, I just don’t like the “lottery” type packs and possibly end up with base inzaghi or something.
Koeman is someone I’ll use for quite a while and has the option of starting 5 at the back and switching him to midfield either.

My plan was to go for the other 5 tokens for the 25x83 pack but as I only got the game it’ll be a while yet before I’d even have the rivals points to enter weekend league so I’ll just get 3 more for the 5x85 pack.
No rush on doing that, I’ve done enough squad battles this week to last me a while, I’ll just get them done for toty

AdamD

Accidentally entered next week's WL by mistake...

So played some Rivals for the first time in a while instead. Got up to Div 1, didn't realise that was worth 50k to me or I would have gone for it age ago!

ziggyman17

did the base icon swap and got Blanc,
