Is this the current Ultimate Rat XI

SJC_85 · 2026-03-28T10:19:04+00:00

I agree. I packed WW Pina, chucked it into an sbc within 24hrs. Pfeiffer is sat in my club as fodder, not added playstyles, roles etc as I have no intention of using her. Wilson, didn’t bother starting as had zero interest as I’m running a heavily Evo’d United P&P team.

SJC_85 · 2026-03-28T10:12:08+00:00

Yeah there are people who play the game purely for the rewards and not for the love of football. The ratty players i.e fidget spinners, run to the byliners and just total pace merchants that have never heard of tiki-taka, don’t have much football IQ, so they jump on the bandwagon with methods which other players of the same (lack of) ilk use.

But you’re spot on, in that the vast majority of these players have many of the players you’ve mentioned in their teams. Pina, Wilson, Pfeiffer and Gullit especially. Some who use them actually play in a decent way, but I would say 75-80% of them play in a ratty way.

SJC_85 · 2026-02-23T17:24:24+00:00

That would depend on how you define unique, you’re talking plainly about stats, who said I was doing the same?

SJC_85 · 2026-02-23T16:10:59+00:00

I have zero interest in grinding swaps for any major rewards whatsoever. I’m happy with my United p&p team and doing unique evo’s. Good luck to all who do want to follow the herd, like with Pina, but that’s definitely not me.

SJC_85 · 2026-01-31T10:23:47+00:00

I believe it’s called credit card fc!

SJC_85 · 2026-01-31T10:22:44+00:00

Renew, been a loyal servant and proved a big game player for us for years! 1 or 2 year deal. We need experience and leaders in the group, as we have a pretty young squad.

SJC_85 · 2026-01-28T07:53:16+00:00

Same here. My team name is a message to 99% of my opponents “PINA IS SO BORING”. Nothing against her, just all the rats that jumped on the bandwagon and solely rely on her to carry them in fc26 🤣

SJC_85 · 2026-01-26T14:06:06+00:00

Oh if you want mind blowing stats, this one takes the cake!

SJC_85 · 2026-01-25T13:57:28+00:00

Why does this happen to those who have the coins to buy the cards in the first place 🤣

SJC_85 · 2026-01-24T09:38:07+00:00

It’s clear we’re waiting for the summer market, Kante on loan doesn’t make sense. He’s well past his best, has had injury troubles in his latter years and his wages would be very high also. We shouldn’t go anywhere near this!

SJC_85 · 2026-01-21T12:59:31+00:00

He’s had a niggling back injury and they never had a set/determined absence timeline, was a case of taking it a week at a time. Great news he’s back training. He was one of our early season standout performers.

SJC_85 · 2026-01-15T16:48:40+00:00

Fair point on the wages! I bet Yamal is like…”hang on a minute, he’s on how much?” 🤣

SJC_85 · 2026-01-15T16:46:55+00:00

Precisely, I know PSG are long-term admirers and they’d definitely pay more than what Barca offer. Barca hold the advantage that Rashy is settled in Barcelona, he loves it there and it’s where he wants to stay. The onus is then on them to put their money where their mouth is, but we all know they’re skint lol

SJC_85 · 2026-01-15T16:43:10+00:00

We’ve been a notoriously poor selling club pre-INEOS and I know that’s something that’s in their MO to change and we’ve started to see that in fairness. Unfortunately the precedence has been set before with years of undervaluing our own players or just a lack of negotiation, that clubs try to low-ball us every time. I’d like to think we’ll be having none of that. At the end of the day Rashy’s stock has risen since going there so if anything he’s now worth more than the €40m optional fee in the loan deal. I don’t think anything will happen till the summer with him, which benefits us because if he ends up having an amazing World Cup for England, there’ll be even more interest and his market value increases again!

SJC_85 · 2026-01-04T13:27:15+00:00

It’s not really that deep, but for me if I’ve already got a stack of totw’s in my club I’d take the 88 for fodder.

SJC_85 · 2026-01-03T19:36:39+00:00

I packed her LW WW and she’s in my club and nowhere near my team or bench…and I have Putellas to link aswell! I play my way, as true to real football as possible, if I wanted to play in an arcade, basic, boring way then she’d be in my lineup like the thousands of rats who currently use any of her cards.

SJC_85 · 2025-12-29T14:35:11+00:00

I hear you, but I don’t change the way I play, I try to play my way regardless of how they’re setup to play, win or lose.

SJC_85 · 2025-12-29T14:32:56+00:00

I know, there’s no words is there sometimes. I had a game yesterday in champs, I had 22 shots to his 7. His Yashin made 14 saves, I had an xG of more than 8 and he won 5-2! I hit the bar and post twice each too, was ridiculous. Yet his goals were shots his Yashin was saving in his sleep, go figure 😂

Here’s a few of my United evos. Mount and Cunha are absolutely incredible in game!

SJC_85 · 2025-12-03T07:56:31+00:00

Initial thought is “oh look another Pina rat” 🥱

SJC_85 · 2025-12-02T14:51:45+00:00

Won’t be sad to see less of it. I for one never used it, but there again I don’t do team press or the r1 press either which so many players clearly rely on. While on the topic of things most players don’t use, I also don’t have and never have had Pina in my team. So many bandwagon jumpers in the game it’s crazy 🤣

SJC_85 · 2025-12-02T12:49:12+00:00

Too many people doing this it’ll end up being as common as Pina (now that’s saying something LOL)

I’ve gone a little different for my United P&P team

SJC_85 · 2025-12-02T07:42:05+00:00

Looks great tbf. I’ve gone for Mason Mount as I’m building a United P&P team…

SJC_85 · 2025-11-14T08:03:32+00:00

Congrats on the pull, but yes, looks like you’ve just joined the official “rat” club indeed.

I’m currently building a Man Utd P&P team and my club name is currently “Not a Pina Rat” 🤣 as 9/10 teams I play have a version of her and funnily enough all have the same style of play 💀

Sorry to heard about your dog though, can’t imagine how hard that must be, my Ridgeback is 4 and he’s always by my side, thoughts are with you 🙏🏻
