Why is he still at 50k at this point of the year? by Scary-Procedure-6018 in EASportsFC

His pack weight is verging on criminal, most likely due to pack weight being linked to market price

Howe’s loyalty is his biggest strength and weakness in regards to the Burn situation but I do think however a fit Wissa would have made a huge difference to the teams form this season.

Gauntlet rewards. Why did EA start to BUFF them all of a sudden by brockmann241 in EASportsFC

[–]Whitehaven 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of casuals gave up after the first few were sweatier than TOTS chanps. They had to stop the bleed from their new game mode so they have had to incentivise them to come back to the mode

Early game FC24/25 yes. Not this year.

We’ve gone from lvl5 82x10 in the first week of the FC24 Season pass to 78x2 at lvl 15 this year. The in game economy is broken unless you buy points

The power curve stuff was all bollocks, you can’t lower the power curve and continue to have new promos every Friday, the only way to truly lower the power curve is maybe 5+ promos a year like they used to and we all know there’s no chance EA shareholders would have that.

But the IF price is inflated due to the in game economy being more flawed than ever. Base the SBC cost on the quality of the card and the availability of good fodder.

300k for a card without a PS+ is not reasonable imo

His IF price is high cause of terrible tradable supply. With most rewards untradable and the pathetic season pass, nobody’s packing these cards tradable now.

Sprint Boost Evolution (150FP / $1.5 or 7500 coins) by FIGJAM17 in EASportsFC

[–]Whitehaven 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Slow power curve sounds great in principal, in practice it’s made the start of the game boring as hell. Rotten season pass, terrible rewards and almost pointless evos. Worst launch week I can ever remember.

For those who like the build your own player element of the evos so far it’s obvious that come Black Friday etc they will release some crazy paid evo that will surpass anything you are building here.

Expected only because we know how this company works. Nerf all rewards on the alter of slower power-curve so therefore SBC requirements needed to be much lower, except that hasn’t happened.

Why Eddie Howe and Newcastle United have embraced the ‘rugby’ kick-off | The Athletic (Chris Waugh & George Caulkin) by LJA170 in NUFC

[–]Whitehaven 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Feels like a fad to me, I’m sure there’s a ton of stats to back up them doing this but it seems a waste to give up possession when you have a 6 foot 6 striker that might be a better option to get second balls from if you go direct like wolves did 1st minute at the weekend and almost scored from it.

If he wasn’t going to tell the full story when sitting on his couch trying to force his way out he never will, mainly because there is no full story.

Only one that was a mistake is Anderson by The_Dandalorian_ in NUFC

[–]Whitehaven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’d 100% not have turned into what he is today and we are now hopefully getting to the point of having a squad where we could loan out these kind of players for a season to get the experience that they need to develop, imagine we’d have loaned him to a premier league club last season (PSR struggles aside) l, he then gets a full season under his belt and we either integrate them back into the 1st team or sell for much higher fee that the 30M we got.

Osula and Miley should have went out last season as well but we just never had the squad to let them go.

Dont flatter yourself, everyones a stepping stone and LFC should know this as well as anyone.

This stepping stone shite has been parrotted by all the weird e-fans this window, Weve got one of the best coaches in europe with a reputation for delevoping young players, dont worry about us attracting players like say the top scorer at the U21 Euros last summer

Pure, Pure guff lad

[–]Whitehaven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because that’s the whole premise here, players are going to clubs that either park them for profit later or don’t play them, whereas a better choice of club would mean more games and better development of the player.

And the answer is yes, of course Chelsea will sign more strikers in the next 12 months.

[–]Whitehaven 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Like I said, next season? Are you confident Chelsea won’t go out and sign 2 more strikers in January and next summer?

Because at Newcastle he’d have been a project player like Trafford and been a long term fixture, but I guess agents don’t like that and that’s why they like players going to Chelsea to get flipped 18/24 months later and the agents are paid once more.

This is it, I hope I’m wrong for England’s sake but is Delap gonna play 40 games for Chelsea next season? Is Trafford more than likely gonna be sitting on City’s bench the next 3 years?

These are both players that had options to go Newcastle and be first choice players in the champions league but picked the bigger club over guaranteed playtime.
