yeah that’s lazy buyers some people don’t care about coins so they’ll buy the first one they see, you’ll see a healthy profit no doubt.
Spent a lot of $$$ on packs and my luck was shocking honestly.
I had a friend who spent half of what I did and made basically the same amount of coins.
That's weird because I'm level 11 and my character is already rated at 82? 17 year old Ajax prodigy who had three debuts in a row according to the commentators.
@Solius @Mr Pigeon do you guys play as the whole team or just the player for that?
Just the player. Team's AI is surprisingly not as bad as it was compared to the last FIFA game I played (......15)
How much you spent so far? I usually end up putting in 4 figs most years but not sure I can be bothered this year. Done £150 so far.
Probably won’t play too competitively this year and won’t play much weekend leagues (was 27/28 wins last year usually) so much harder to justify it.
Very good Fifa if the next patch is done well. The game play is pretty good, crossing is decent but not too OP, good strikers like Lewa/Haaland and Lukaku are actually very good and usable for pretty much the first time ever. Keepers are a joke though, they are either completely useless or impossible to beat. It is 100x harder to score a 1v1 than a finesse shot from 30 yards. If they tweak the keepers and the distance finesse shots it’ll be a pretty decent game. Also player switching is still horrendous for the 3rd year in a row. No idea how they’ve managed to still feck that up.
Expecting the patch to turn it into a copy of last year however.

$2500
Albeit, it's an investment for me, but I really hope loot-boxes are banned in video games.
Rewards are much worse in weekend league and they've catered to a wider spectrum of people. I worry they didn't compensate it with top 200 rivals rewards either.

What was the best players you actually packed?
Yeah hopefully they’re banned, it’s a joke that to compete at a decent level you pretty much have to spend £1500+ on the first few days to have enough for a competitive team. Don’t think it’ll be too long until they are, preview packs are quite clearly Ea attempting to prepare for new legislation and being able to argue it’s not loot boxes if you know the content.
Are rivals rewards much worse too? I don’t really understand the new system but they look much worse than the old system unless I’m missing something.
Goretzka, Rashford, and Llorente.

Just horrific luck. I think someone else would have made 14-15 mil and I'll likely net 10 mil after I finish.
Rivals rewards at first glance look much worse. I don't know if the elite division has much better rewards.

I need to take a break from UT. Get started on clubs. Been to long since I got stuck into it.
You don’t need to spend £2000 to compete. Don’t mean to be harsh but that’s the reason the game is left half baked. Massive shame.
Yes you do. You can't use bad players in high level games.
I have a feeling Eddy might play in a different paddling pool to you.

Yep. It’s a mess. It’s worse on next gen as well.
For the last time lads, Eddy is a pro player. So, when he says playing competitively he isn’t meaning WL like the rest of us. He’s meaning actual pro tournaments. So, yes, gold Adama Traore ain’t cutting it.
Just the player. I get the feeling mine glitched (classic fifa) but it’s not great that you can reach the max level at 19 years old.
You don't have to be rude
That's awful luck from that amount. I would be so annoyed, I got almost as good in 12k fifa points.
I've just noticed rivals rewards look awful too. Barely worth playing as a casual.
Every year the same conversation with people shocked at how much @Eddy_JukeZ spends at the start. It's basically his tools for the year if he was a tradesman
Wow that is mad, I got De Bruyne from the sbc and IF Salah from my TOTW due to buying ultimate. What platform do you play on?
I'm just thinking about the amount of hours he had to sit through pack opening animations.
Do you always come out with more than you've put in each year? Seems insane that you basically have to put that in to compete at a high level, FIFA must be the only pro game where that is the case? Such a barrier to entry for younger people.
Sorry, can I just confirm. Are we talking about spending 2500 fifa coins or actual real life money?
I had 100 points left from my 4600 yesterday so I spent £3.59 to get another 500 (So that I could get 4 new packs and have no coins left over). I felt physically sick and instantly regretted doing it. I cannot fathom how people can spend vast amounts.
I'm not judging by the way. Each to their own. I just struggle to get my head around it
EDIT - I've read up and seen @Eddy_JukeZ is a pro player. Fair play.

Honestly I can't play against players on assisted passing the game is a utter joke. Semi assisted is the only way I can play.
Player career mode ruined for me by a glitch.
Tried Create a club mode instead. First game in League Two and Forest Green are playing tiki taka football and barely misplace a pass. There’s a bug where I keep getting the same email. Bored already. Love that you have to re-do every single training session to try and get an A every time you do a new career. That’s not tedious at all.
Some of this shit should be criminal. To charge money for something you’ve basically left untouched is an absolute joke.
Another year of exclusively only playing mates online then.

There are kids who spend that over the year on FIFA points and they're garbage bank of mum and dad getting bankrupted.
bank of mum and dad getting bankrupted.You're convincing me not to bother with it again
Yeh because he’s spending £2500…
No
There's pros who have gone 30-0 in weekend league with bronze teamsMeh I could have gone pro but alas I did my kneeNo
I'm new to Ultimate and just packed Varane. Does it make sense to wait a little bit before selling him or is his value unlikely to increase?
Wait, his value will go up. Him and Van Dijk are the best centerbacks in the game and their price will go up when the game comes out fully.
Yeah he'll likely rise a bit this Thursday/Friday when people are buying for WL.
He's a beast though so would just keep him unless you want the coins to build the rest of the team, I have him & Kimpembe with Theo & Hakimi either side and they're just ridiculous.
Thanks, any guess how high his value might go? Looks like I could sell for about 300k right now.
Just invested 450K into fodder. Hope to triple my coins over next couple of weeks.
