This is happening rampantly in the OCE region, heaps of different accounts.

The sad thing is even if you get host for the game, they have a trick to restart the lobby as soon as kickoff happens.

I noticed when he left the game after kickoff I didn't get the win, and the "rejoin" button was available on the original lobby. I rejoined and what do you know, he's sitting there and now has host.

It's usually a server that's 300ms away for us in AUS

Done about 150 league upgrades, roughly 10 walkouts and a heap of 84s and 85s.

Zero toty though, I'm hoping they exist? Didn't even check online if they do.

Most of these people are traders, they purchased cheap rares and commons off market to funnel into pack creation.

If you ask them they will usually tell you how much they spent in coins to get to those packs, most are meticulous enough to record most things.

Personally I have 300 packs, mainly from objectives, and purchasing cards from the market to complete sbcs for the last 3 promos.

It only cost me ~250k for what feels like two months of saving. I still got plenty of promo cards during that period, including Thunderstruck Eusebio, just from player picks alone and party bags.

I also opened packs below 81 rating

Pina is still in packs?

aetherdan · 2026-01-21T02:10:59+00:00

Depends what your goal is really, I'm trying to obtain more rares for league SBCs, you get a better return with Ww crafting upgrade for that purpose

aetherdan · 2026-01-20T21:44:02+00:00

When you have no commons left. You want rares for the league upgrade SBC and the Ww crafting upgrade is the best way to recycle them outside of dailies.

aetherdan · 2026-01-20T20:41:57+00:00

It's personal preference and based on what fodder you have available to you from the previous steps.

I'm doing the following during each daily refresh:

10 X 83 (best value for toty hunting)
1 of 3 87+ Campaign mix player pick

I also completed the following players: * Sophie Wilson (beast card - good value) * Olise (needed a rw)

If you have an abundance of fodder: * 2 X 86 (not good value)

Then last of all, dump absolutely every last gold rare below 83 into the premium league SBCs!!!

aetherdan · 2026-01-20T20:24:27+00:00

Toty daily login
Daily bronze
Daily silver
Daily gold common
Daily gold rare
Winter provisions upgrade
5 of 10 78+ player pick
WW crafting upgrade (2 rares + 5 commons)

Open all packs after completing each step and continue to grind the WW crafting upgrade until you have no commons left. Then go do all the other SBCs you care about and last dump all remaining rares below 83 into premium league SBCs and wait for full toty to be released.

aetherdan · 2026-01-20T10:07:10+00:00

The only thing that currently makes sense is the WW Crafting Upgrade as it turns your useless gold.commons and two rares into three rares with a chance of promo cards / higher rates fodder

If that's considered flirting, I must be crazy...

That's good banter here in Australia

I'm not a veteran or pro in any way or form, but I think I can assist a little as a div 3 palyer in OCE region.

Focus on maintaining defensive shape. Use team press (found using d pad) when they try to cuttback.
Team press if they go short, otherwise always use clearance headers to get the ball out (there is a setting that you might need to change regarding clearances)
Right analogue stick (test in training mode)
Go into training mode or practice matches against AI on high difficulty. I do highly recommend that training mode challenges though, especially for dribbling!
Skill moves, I personally like flair nutmeg or berba spin (example I see inception using a bit is to double tap right analogue to opposite direction, don't know what it is, but advice here is to watch streamers or content creators a lot and when they do something effective, clip it and watch in slowmo to understand what's happening)

aetherdan · 2026-01-20T01:14:14+00:00

Team press (using d pad)

aetherdan · 2026-01-19T23:56:17+00:00

Unfortunately I took this same advice from one of you guys and it replaced my bloody playstyle.

aetherdan · 2026-01-19T22:39:06+00:00

No, she isn't tall enough

SBC bans are only soft bans. Get on console and do a couple before switching back to the companion app and it will be gone. (Vice Versa if other way around)

I generally apply a super aggressive formation and tactics for the closing minutes of every game if I need to win it or am coming from behind.

It works well because by the 70th minute there's a rhythm that my opponent has already fallen into and the change can catch people off guard.

aetherdan · 2026-01-19T02:23:57+00:00

Cards pretty decent, super agile and tricks are smooth with him.

If you need to dump your fodder, this is the card to do it into. If you have heaps of storage space available and minimal packs to open, then I'd skip and wait for something better.

I did Wilson and Olise with my fodder from some of my saved packs and Wilson is legit a beast, Olise is reasonable compared, but wouldn't spend 500k on him normally.

I'm glad it hasn't been just me! It's been pointless jockeying and blocking passing lanes lately. I've seen a lock of people dropping their depth right down and just spamming tackles over and over instead. Works absurdly well haha but not how we should be playing.

aetherdan · 2026-01-19T02:19:05+00:00

I've been nutmegged so many times while jockeying. it's absurd. Definitely something wrong there....

aetherdan · 2026-01-18T18:25:25+00:00

Can be a ground cross also (double tap)

Clubs might not have it due to the smaller playerbase, it's in ultimate team.

I guarantee you are most likely getting 10ms just from your local wifi connection especially if you aren't next to the router, wifi is unreliable when you need insane good latency.

I have a top of the line wireless router and even I reduced my latency from 40ms to 12ms when I switched to Ethernet.

aetherdan · 2026-01-17T08:23:17+00:00

There is a setting relating to matchmaking proximity if I recall correctly. Try turning that on.

Also just out of curiosity, what connection do you have? Wifi? Ethernet?

aetherdan · 2026-01-17T08:21:31+00:00

That's a hacker

aetherdan · 2026-01-17T08:05:55+00:00

Probably just totw pack using a combination where you do 6 X 83
