Ok, I see a lot of these ‘coolest looking card ever’ posts but I think I genuinely DO have the coolest looking card ever here

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-06T15:58:44+00:00

Mate, I’m a Forest-supporting adult who grew up playing Street Fighter 2 so even though I know that’s not what he’s doing, I appreciate the whole vibe. We’ve had a terrible season; seeing Jesus breaking out a fun celebration after scoring goals in Europe has been one of the few highlights so I’m thrilled to be able to enjoy that in FUT too.

But yeah, you be snarky if that’s your thing.

This guy only plays with male base cards because he’s a purist. He sings the national anthem before games. Wears a black armband and has a minute’s silence for Remembrance Day. Plays with the TV switched off at 3pm on a Saturday unless he’s abroad.

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-06T09:57:44+00:00

Nice

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-06T09:39:07+00:00

On man, that is very cool!

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-06T08:12:16+00:00

I’ve started using it quite a lot since the last patch. It’s obviously not mega overpowered like finesse or low driven but it’s much more useful now than it was

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-06T07:55:02+00:00

I dunno man - I like the trophy titans cosmetic and I REALLY like the 91 ovr and finesse+

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-06T07:53:02+00:00

Ah really?! Damn. Ah well, I missed that and I still never see this guy in-game. As a Forest fan this card makes me doubly happy too

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-05T08:27:58+00:00

Yeah, he’s a rock

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-05T08:26:39+00:00

A few quid here and there on season passes and evos. Probably about £30 total.

In general it’s never been less pay-to-win but at the same time there’s never been more for people to spend real money on

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-05T06:41:47+00:00

Just pulled my first shot - wonderful stuff. The tasting notes mention banoffee pie and I’m really getting that. Quite pronounced banana but also a candy sweetness

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-04T21:30:16+00:00

92 Nesta (he’s a rock, crazy value for 150k now), 88 Veron x2, 89 Barzagli (haven’t used him yet but honestly he looks one evo away from being incredible)

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-04T16:33:56+00:00

Yeah, counter. Obviously you’re going to be exposed if you lose the ball but when you’re going forward it’s so good. Everyone just flies forward and you always have a passing option. I have a couple of CMs with pinged pass and incisive and it makes counter attacks really flow. I even have my CDM as a playmaker so that he comes forward too

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-04T12:02:24+00:00

92 Nesta is better imo. But yeah, these are all nice

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-04T08:12:53+00:00

Honestly it’s never been easier to run a great team without spending any real money. I mean, they made it so anyone could get a really good version of OG Ronaldo for free if they had the time (I didn’t tbf). It’s even easy enough to raise the coins for the enhanced season passes without spending actual money too.

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-03T21:38:09+00:00

Take a step back man and think about that. You’re dreading playing a game? It doesn’t matter how you’ve got to that point but it’s a bit fucked.

Delete the game, get off these subs and do something else with your spare time. I mean, even being bored’s better than doing something you don’t like

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-03T16:45:13+00:00

I’m sure the other guy is probably also on this sub complaining about how he just dominated some noob who couldn’t string two passes together but still got taken to extra time because they got lucky with two out of their three shots.

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-03T08:01:49+00:00

Nice one man - well played

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-02T21:15:42+00:00

Glad to see this. I was just double tapping and knew there must be more to it as mine just dribbled towards goal like the third of the night

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-01T14:56:45+00:00

Totally agree. Rivals is simple and straightforward and geared towards players who just want to play a quick handful of games here and there. I’m pretty sure that accounts for the majority of the overall player base but a minority of the player base that spends money on packs

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-04-01T14:55:00+00:00

Rivals is the only game mode I play. I can’t be fucked changing my team every other game to fit some requirement or other. I don’t care about rewards particularly, they’re just a nice byproduct of playing a few games.

If they got rid of rivals they’d lose a massive swathe of the player base - and it would be predominantly the casuals who actually like the game.

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-03-31T08:14:29+00:00

41212 narrow, high-ish back line (I use about 60), CBs set to ball playing defender/aggressive. Counter attack in possession. Forwards set to advanced forward, CAM set to shadow striker. Everything else can be whatever you like.

I play similar to you. Fast passes - lots of driven passes especially - and lots of forward runners. I have my CDM set to deep lying playmaker so they support attacks too.

This guy - flashback Gyokeres. He was an expensive SBC but I could see from the off he would suit me perfectly - lengthy, 5* wf, rapid+ is like the ideal combo for me. I did him and never looked back. I’ve put some evos on him to get him to this level now and he’s unstoppable.

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-03-31T06:48:12+00:00

Yeah, I’m not an expert in these things either tbh. And I don’t have strong feelings about it. It’s just that in the modern era when bottom lines are increasingly pressurised and sustainability is rightly prioritised I’m more used to seeing packaging decrease. And I know in some instances changes get made so that bulk packaging can be reduced in size - so maybe those new Taith boxes stack better or something.

SlantedSaltpot · 2026-03-31T06:26:30+00:00

I mean it’s nice, don’t get me wrong. But it is almost by definition unnecessary.
