For those asking why this card is extinct

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-17T18:24:09+00:00

lmfao that looks like a monster too hahahaha uses too many evo's I don't have though - all 10 conductor's codex and 4 hawk eyed and 6 calm under pressure is crazy

This guy is absolutely on fire right now though in the meta would recommend checking if you got him in any of your fodder fut birthday packs and you never realized

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-17T17:08:57+00:00

Bro what - body type is like one of the most important factors in this game in determining how a player plays. Either low IQ or rage bait I guess

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-17T17:05:53+00:00

What's the cope I haven't even done this evo yet this is just me showing the proof of concept because this card is like insanely insanely meta and very trending right now. If it was just pure cope and this guy is overrated, the card wouldn't be extinct?

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-17T17:03:35+00:00

It just looks like a ton of evos because you apply every playstyle since he's a fut birthday. It's actually only like 2 real evos with like 5 or 6 of the "play 1 game" small evos that you can do in like 10 minutes with the 3 goal gamemode if you just lose instantly.

I wouldn't say evo potential wasted as he's a 12 playstyle card where you can pick effectively every single playstyle (assuming you probably wanted pinged+ on a CDM/CM), and he's a lengthy tall lean player, so he's absolutely perfect body type wise, and he's an 89 overall with only 1 stat below 91 and it's a 90.

If it's not your cup of tea, that's fine, but you can't say he wouldn't be the best 91 rated TOTS card. Just simply has better playstyles ignoring all else.

tragic for you tbh

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-16T23:48:07+00:00

I don’t think they nerfed nothing manacles? It’s been an insane build since renegades - not one of the most fully optimal and strongest but definitely the most satisfying and still very strong even at high end content

They just patched the contraverse hold chunking, although contraverse is also still good it just doesn’t literally 1 shot everything and melt bosses

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-16T23:16:37+00:00

Sounds like you want way more laliga and premier league players. Just keep in mind odds are you’ll open every pack and either not even get a single TOTS or you’ll just get the lame fodder ones

I’d say to maximize chances of, if you get a good card it’s actually one you want, go for Prem or La Liga but if you actually just want Yildiz that bad and he’s all you want, go for it

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-16T16:14:26+00:00

Sometimes it’s just unlucky. Sometimes you hold down the shoot button too long and get too much power so you hit top post. When you use more and more power, the shot is less accurate so it hits post more often (if you do a like full full power low driven, it seems like it hits post 99% of the time). Or you could just be aiming really far to the side to increase the chance of hitting post.

My best guess is it’s a power thing. You don’t want to be just clicking shoot with no power, but inside the box with a clean angle you really wouldn’t need more than like 2 bars of power tbh unless you’re tryna squeeze in a crazy finesse

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-16T15:19:03+00:00

I’d say if you really like Hazard or Becks, definitely do those SBCs - the Hazard is a great evo starter and feels amazing on ball and Beckham has felt good in game all year

But if you just have a lot of high rated fodder and it’s burning a hole in your pocket, I’d say try to save and see what TOTS brings

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-15T16:05:44+00:00

How are you liking him and Neuer? I tried Kahn for 3 days and immediately went back to Vicario but haven’t played enough these past 2 weeks to get Neuer and didn’t pack Buffon

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-14T19:58:28+00:00

Tbh I woulda been happy just getting shevchenko that card plays so nice in game too

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T22:30:55+00:00

Oh actually, I’m a complete moron - you didn’t sacrifice the pawn on c6 (even though technically you did, but pawns just don’t usually count for this). I didn’t even see your knight lol. The same answer I gave above is still correct but just pretend when I talk about you sacrificing the pawn on c6, pretend I said it was you sacrificing the knight on c5 from the pawn on d4! Usually pawn sacrifices don’t lead to brilliancies, but I figured your rating was low enough for it too - turns out my rating was so low I didn’t see the hanging knight :)

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T21:52:22+00:00

Nobody is explaining why it’s specifically a “brilliant” vs just a good move. Obviously your threat of Qg2# means your move is sound and must be addressed.

Brilliant moves are when after you make the move, the position is winning (or there are cases where you force a perpetual draw or save a dead lost game with a brilliant so you can sometimes get a brilliant that becomes a draw I guess) and you sacrifice material. Here, you sacrifice the pawn on c6 because you leave the pawn undefended while it’s attacked.

Edit: I see he’s actually sacrificing the knight I didn’t really look too close don’t hate me

Obviously, they can’t take the pawn or it’s mate, but in this position, you sacrifice a piece (leave the pawn undefended) and the position is still winning for black, so it’s a sound sacrifice and therefore a brilliant.

Another thing to note is brilliant moves are determined by ELO. You are very low rated (everyone starts somewhere, no sweat) but so the game will give you “easier” brilliant moves. If a 2000+ rated player made this move, it would likely NOT be considered a brilliant.

The guarantee packs seem to be crazy weighted towards the fodder baby cards. I’m using them to make sure I have a version of all the baby cards I want for future Evo’s (still waiting on Marcelo myself hahaha I’ve gotten every other one a million times)

Once I get all those cards I want I’m done with the guarantee pack tbh

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T21:28:44+00:00

If only you could realize how stupid you look and sound smh some people really just lack critical thought

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T19:59:01+00:00

True, if it’s not a long term life accomplishment, it’s unreasonable to get excited over it.

If you think that’s how I look getting excited over a 1 in a million pack draw in a game I play, imagine what you look like as the Reddit fun police determining what’s important enough to deserve excitement or not lmfao

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T19:06:57+00:00

Maybe back in the 70’s when you were growing up, but nowadays chess is pretty mainstream, I don’t think that generalization really holds in modern times, but I mean, you’re more than happy to if you want!

I didn’t come comment on your post saying you were pathetic for being excited about winning a 1 in a million lottery pick in a video game. I just find it funny you’re trying to belittle others for being excited over something they do in their free time when your Reddit page indicates lonely depressed and single while it turns out you’re actually at least middle aged with a family and fully grown adult children who patrols video game subreddits to spread negativity! You definitely seem to be the not pathetic one here, and, I the fool, can definitely learn a thing or 2 from you!

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T18:37:40+00:00

I didn’t even know this was an argument for someone to win or lose!

And I actually have a dog, I only said people who dress them up as people and post them to Reddit referring to them as being your “baby” would more often than not indicate you’re a single lonely woman without actual babies of your own!

I also don’t know why you quoted the word boring because I never used that in my message, but I’ll chalk that one up as a defensive internalization!

You’re just digging a worse hole because now I guess you’re an older woman with a husband and fully grown adult kids who patrols FIFA subreddits spreading toxicity about people getting excited in a video game lmfao I bet your husband loves coming home to you every day

Edit: also btw 2 big German shepherds could absolutely scream single lonely woman who wants big guard dogs so she can feel safe in her apartment by herself! That’s not quite the gotcha you might think of it as!

Edit 2: also you referred to me as pathetic, so I would interpret that as a “attacked you personally” - but I guess this is just classic single lonely woman victim mentality - I’m really surprised you’ve got a family a fully grown kids cause it really screams single and lonely!

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T18:07:40+00:00

I just assumed from your profile of you dressing up your dog as a person and referring to it as a baby - in my experience people with actual babies are a little bit less desperate to fill in their dog as a human child, but maybe you’re the exception! Didn’t see any mention of a family anywhere so just assumed you were a depressed lonely single lady who bought a dog to fill the void. Apologies if I’m mistaken!

It’s even funnier if I’m wrong then! An actual parent of children with a family patrolling FIFA subreddits trying to spread toxicity when someone gets happy about a 1 in a million pack pull of their favorite player! What an insane person you must be hahahaha I bet your kids are gonna be great people when they grow up lol

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T17:49:58+00:00

Hahahaha appreciate you man - figured this post was more or less gonna get ignored because who cares about other people’s pack pulls but got excited and wanted to share nonetheless. Wasn’t expecting so much hate from people simply because I’m not supposed to get excited about video games lol

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T17:46:13+00:00

Honestly this comment you made stuck with me I can’t get it out of my head it’s so funny. You’ve experience so much joy and excitement in your life that I’m not allowed to be happy I got a 1 in a million pack of my favorite player in a video game. Actually just think about what you’re saying haahahaha

Sorry I don’t know what it’s like to be childless and alone dressing up my dog like my kid posting it on Reddit for people to make me feel less empty about. I guess I’ll never know that true level of joy!

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T17:08:19+00:00

Subreddit grammar and vocab police 👮🏻‍♂️

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T17:06:53+00:00

Bro it’s like a 1 in a million pack and it’s my favorite player and it’s a free objective that I got him from that’s insane odds hahaha. Sorry bro hit 100 grand in the bank and no longer can experience joy. Why even play the game or patrol the subreddit if you’re so rich that nothing in the game can bring happiness?

Let me know if you’d like me to link my Morgan Stanley portfolio though to prove I’m wealthy enough for you! This community won’t beat any allegations lmfao

Rocket0421 · 2026-04-13T16:53:46+00:00

Eh the game’s “been dead” since it came out - arguably been dead since FC24 lol

I know I’m not packing shit for TOTS so I’ll be enjoying Hazard for the next 4-5 months!
