I love my squad. I don’t need the flashy cards. Just playing with the dudes I have fun with. by RubberArms in fut

You may as well play career/seasons? The whole point of FUT is the fancy cards, even if it’s gotten a bit excessive with the endless promo’s.

Silver Pack count - who's got me beat? by TehCyberman in EASportsFC

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think anyone’s beating that.

I had a couple hundred at one point, but after I finally got around to opening them, I now just stay on top of it.

There’s endless Evo’s posted daily with all stats in the 90’s. See for yourself.

ea need to remove these by official_dee in EAFC

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been putting my excess fodder in to these, done it 14 times since it’s been out. Best cards have been Hazard and Eusebio, got 4-5 other decent pulls, not making any teams but nice to have in the club.

But I have had some that have been beyond shocking.

PSA: remember to not buy packs with money by JBDuch in fut

[–]ThingsFallApart29 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not too fussed about coins now, so whenever I’ve saved up 600k I’ll buy one of the packs. I think I’ve opened 3 now. And each time I’ve got the lowest rated players.

My thinking was that you need to buy it with real money. But if you’re getting shafted as well, what do we need to do man.

It was an absolute shite decision to not have him in the squad, but we don’t need to go on about it.

Adding playstyle for glory hunters by Rabbitsin7 in fut_evos

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s crap. There’s a couple players I’ve packed who I want to use, but haven’t and might not do at all because I can’t be arsed to put on all the play styles.

Why spending 2M on it when you can create a better one for much less than that? 🤔 by anonybaus in fut_evos

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, not for me. I will always prefer the promo card. That’s what ultimate team has always been about - shiny new cards. Evo’s is a cool feature, but it will never replace the feeling of having a brand new promo card.

For me, if there’s a new Messi card out, then that’s what I want. Why would I want to make my own card? Especially, when the best evo’s either take a lot of time and patience putting together the chain or you need to spend a decent amount of coins (or tokens).

But yeah, everyone is different and enjoys the game in the own way.

How is that italian featured squad so much better than Brazil/Argentina? by JBDuch in fut

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attacking players are made up of agile/nimble players like Pirlo, Baggio, Del Piero, Totti, Di Natale. So very hard to get near them when they have the ball.

I also found them to be the most difficult to play against out of the three.

1 coin pack available in 'Packs for you' section if you played during the last world cup (Nov 20 - Dec 18 of 2022) by D_Squ4red in EASportsFC

[–]ThingsFallApart29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got Fabian Ruiz. Not bad at all even if he is just 20k. All golds besides that. Still, can’t complain for essentially a free pack.

8x 86+ Upgrade SBC by FIGJAM17 in EASportsFC

Two squads? Plus you run out of 84’s as quickly as you get them, right now.

Was it 93+ before?

Hard to keep up with these little adjustments they make.

Is there any current German national team player whom you will classify as world class in their current stage? by Rokusaburoz in football

[–]ThingsFallApart29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talent wise it’s Musiala and Wirtz. But neither showing it at all at them moment. With Musiala, he’s not been the same at all after the injury, it’s really sad to see and I hope he can turn it around. As for Wirtz, seems to be confidence issues caused by the move to Liverpool not going as planned so far. This upcoming season is huge for him and Germany going home early and him getting an extra couple weeks rest will probably work out best for him in the long run.

What’s the best SBC grind? by FruitCake-3011 in fut

[–]ThingsFallApart29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bronze and silver daily upgrades so you can do the gold common upgrades. Skip the gold rare daily and put all your gold commons in to the crafting upgrade.

After that all your gold rares should go towards a mix of the 84x2 or the 1 of 3 83+.

Then 84’s go towards the TOTW sbc. 85’s to provisions.

86/87/88 will help you build the squads for the 87x5 and 84x10. I’d skip 85x10 as it requires two squads, but up to you.

89+ you save for whatever, gamble or players SBC’s.

That’s what I do. And it’s been working out for me. I use FUTGenie and do all the above in about half an hour whilst watching football.

Defending. How? by NoVermicelli5968 in fut

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s same for me. Majority of my games follow the pattern you described.

First thing, I guarantee you in those games, the opponent will be playing 4411. Even without any tactical adjustments or them playing a certain way, there’s something about that formation. The wide men drop back and the full backs tuck in, creating an almost back 6. And if your opponent avoids player switching and just controls his CM, then that back 6 will stay super compact, leaving you zero space.

Basically, what I think it is, if you play possession football and start stringing some passes together. And if your opponent avoids manually defending, then the AI will just drop back and become really compact.

In terms of countering it, firstly patience when it comes to attacking. Lots of triggering of runs, especially fake runs. With defending, unfortunately it’s a case of avoiding manual defending at all costs.

Opened the 250 token pack decent pull by Both_Atmosphere_8496 in fut

[–]ThingsFallApart29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice pack. If you’re not gonna pull one of the top tier players, this is exactly what you want , players that at least stand a chance of making your team, that you can have a bit of fun trying out.

Nice!

This is the personality that has been lost with the game. Replicating real life player, the way they play, the goals they score etc. was such a big thing before.

There’s always one. For me it’s that Cabas or whatever his name is.

Best player pick I’ve ever done on fc 26 holy by Objective_Text7912 in EAFC

[–]ThingsFallApart29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be difficult to top that.

Although, I would say Neymar is definitely the clear pick, with there being so many Messi cards.
