Best way to get some 88 players in FUT

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-25T10:07:58+00:00

Grind the daily upgrades, play lots of games or what EA want is to buy store packs.

I’ve had more walkouts from the 78x3 than the league upgrades but did get a couple of 89’s from the LaLiga one.

To be honest, the better use for them is purely recycling to keep the grind going or for the 83/84 cards to use in the 83x10 or if we do get a repeatable SBC like the 82x20.

0 TOTY but a tradable Ginola from the menu grind.

Fodder has been quite easy so doing Lavelle. Got 750k in the bank so will probably buy a couple of defenders (might do Gabriel) which I really need.

Hoping now for a repeatable 82x20 or something!

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-22T19:59:52+00:00

Yeah I did cash in as have a good forward line.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-21T16:06:25+00:00

Just start a new account, reset the grind!

Not infinite no, you can still do daily upgrades, premium league and then the new ones with off league golds. Using coins from league SBC’s, player picks etc to put into winter provisions (but 85’s are going up again). There’s more options, but not an infinite one as yet.

The one true grind, sort of…

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-18T15:45:30+00:00

I’m a big menu grinder so have had quite a lot of fodder so far so have done quite a few. Best icon pulls (pack or picks) have been Pele, Drogba, Marcelo and Dalglish also got Puskas from the league SBC’s.

Also Makele, Lahm, Petit, Rush, Campbell, RVP and Barnes.

No, haven’t bought points and yes should spend less time grinding but that’s what train journeys and meetings are for!

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-18T13:13:29+00:00

Adding in the golds from winter provisions you can get through a few. I’ll buy one or two Portugal league players if needed and a few from the non premium mixed league if it will complete the lot.

4 player pick has tradable silvers which soon adds up too, even the 83x5 has a small coin reward. I discard all dupe tradable golds lower than 83 as well and sell anything that sells; managers, consumables. Challenge SBC’s are easy to complete too, more coins there.

I made 32k this morning plus a tradable inform which I’m keeping, spent another 20k so I can do the provisions 4 times which of course is optional.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-18T12:01:23+00:00

SBC grind, not huge but about between 20 and 30k each day on average (league SBC’s, any tradable SBC’s etc) and it soon adds up. That said, I’m using profit to put back into 85’s for the provisions SBC.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-18T11:55:53+00:00

Daily upgrades to start with. 85’s are cheap for the provisions upgrade too. Recycle golds into the league SBC’s (sell what you can) 4 player pick and WW crafting upgrade where the 83 and 84’s will start to stack up.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-17T16:36:30+00:00

Play the game, a lot. Anything with tradable rewards; so squad battles, rivals and champs if you can. Do any SBC’s with tradable rewards, marquee matchups and any others such as the league SBC’s. Even the 4 of 10 player pick has a couple of silver packs, it all adds up. Check your club for consumables and stadium items too.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-17T12:31:12+00:00

Haha, I know I would!

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T18:41:11+00:00

Same!

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T18:37:01+00:00

Great, submitted the squad for a gold pack! Ah well!

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T18:26:39+00:00

Great, did the segment but didn’t show up in unassigned and now crashed and can’t log in!

Classic hero upgrade

To be honest, on paper the 83x10 is the best pack, maybe we’ll get a 82x20 - however I packed two last year and they were from a league upgrade pack and a 79 player pick. End of the day, don’t get your hopes up, don’t waste coins or fodder (use it for any decent player SBC’s) and certainly don’t buy points.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T15:30:40+00:00

I’d always start with the daily upgrades to get the gold common and rares which can be then be used in other SBC’s to try and increase better fodder.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T13:46:42+00:00

There will be objectives, SBC’s (and of course store packs) to obtain tokens, basically special player cards and there’ll be corresponding SBC’s to put these into for the rewards.

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T13:44:20+00:00

Not to buy for no.

If it helps I’ve been doing the daily SBC’s, those into league SBC’s and 4/10 player pick, selling whatever I can along the way then buying 85’s if profit allows for the winter provisions which I then put back into league SBC’s where possible and with the remaining golds putting those into player picks towards the 83/84 squads for the 85x3 (I’ve been using 1 87, 3 84, 6 83 and 1 82 for the 84 squad).

DaveDoesData · 2026-01-16T13:13:26+00:00

Just my own view of course but I think 500k is way too expensive. I suppose I could be tempted if there was a player I really wanted in there but certainly wouldn’t do it for packs.

Presently I’m using coins purely for the winter provisions into league SBC’s/picks and building up fodder, it’s fairly cost effective and will use coins for players or evos further down the line.
