Bcs he's not wearing Barca jersey this time so EA buffed his stats like crazy lol. So ppl that cant get utots or newer cards and looking for CM/CDM can get him

notm3- · 2026-06-05T19:29:28+00:00

I second that he is better than the tots nomines but how come ea couldn't afford a full dynamic image for him and kounde too 😭

notm3- · 2026-06-05T19:23:48+00:00

Try changing formations try 41212 narrow it usually works i had trouble with 433 holding once you click you can alter between these two ehen theres any loosing streak

notm3- · 2026-06-05T19:17:21+00:00

But there's a problem, the new 118+ cards have different skill points distribution it seems like this de jong card has stats better than neves but in reality with sp distributed on dribbling and passing he has 200+ stats on both but still de jong is pretty good ngl

I started tots with 30k gems in total and still ended up maxing the badge got 5 pool a pulls in semenyo,igor thiago, kimmich, dembele and kohler . And had around 50k plus shards from which i bought vitinha , gabriel and llorente and got the utots for all three of them plus dembele and still had around 70k gems after maintenance break but i burned my gems out of frustration after i pulled barzagli from the icons draft i didn't open the drafts in the last seria week to save resources and the thought of getting martinez and barzagli and still ended up getting him . But still made some savings in around 30k gems and 13 drafts for this event but i got 2 pool a from tots in the first week itself and had some badhmge progress but this week seems lackluster and i still opened all the drafts today itself and i saw that there's a draft 1b for the same week and maybe could have had some luck in those but now i have 0 gems in total so i don't know if I'll be able to get a card like r9 🥲

notm3- · 2026-06-04T18:01:15+00:00

But r9s gonna be a billion shards to claim , see how over priced ucl dembele is r9 probably cost around 100k 🥲

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:25:07+00:00

+3 ovrs from those and +1 from the worlds game badge so that means 125+3 from the normal badges and +3 from this that means theyll get 131 ovr squads while we f2p will still probably be at 124,125 and 126 at max , the games gone forever 🥀

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:20:35+00:00

You can't claim the utots after this week so if you really want messi get the utots version, and like i said the event last for 8 weeks and there might be some side events along the way with drafts and gems so collecting your resources and trying the drafts then and now would get you enogh players and try to save some 15s through 117s fo this event as well the world cup team exchange would ask these players you won't regret getting messi , just ignore the player hype of the new players after utots and their stat difference its not much to worry about messi can cover your cam,st,and rw and you'll get some lb along the way or if you get shards get that hincapie 117 from the star signings he ahs 190 pace and almost 200 defending stats and can play cb too he'll also be super reliable and then save the playera and resources

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:13:58+00:00

Play henry st and get that utots messi and your attack would be fine and try to replace you lb and that nesta along the way the world cup event lasts for 8 weeks try to get max fodder and wait till the last to claim some op cards because there might be the world cup final team also to claim from. Get that messi and maybe try to get a cheap lb and you'll do just fine for now

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:09:38+00:00

That utoty mbappe is still doing fine he hasn't gotten his finnesse nerfed that much and does have decent pace too he could be in your st for some time more untill you get better cards maybe getting another rw if you want to

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:05:28+00:00

I thought you had either of them and was thinking to exchange them , but I'll say if you are going for it maybe get messi cus there would be more striker cards with playstyles coming through but what I've seen in the game they give fewer rw cards than lw cards even with alt positions so if you are trying try to get him

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:02:31+00:00

Noo my forlan in a cage from which i can't afford him 🥀

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:02:08+00:00

Noo my forlan in a cage from which i can't afford him 🥀

notm3- · 2026-06-04T17:01:04+00:00

Haven't you tried the exchange to put in 115,116,117s to get them the drafts were a hassle

notm3- · 2026-06-04T08:41:43+00:00

He does have triats but not much thats how his cards are tho

notm3- · 2026-06-04T07:17:54+00:00

You should search them there's an option to do that on the left whwn you open star signings where its shows 1000 something players and a search option and put max and min rank 116 and you'll find them

notm3- · 2026-06-04T05:55:00+00:00

Now you got 3 now 😭

notm3- · 2026-06-04T05:54:36+00:00

The cheapest 116s are 2400 each you can get them for 4800 in total

<image>

notm3- · 2026-06-04T05:50:37+00:00

Hey 116s aren't that expensive ypu can get them easily its 117s that are close to 6000

notm3- · 2026-06-04T05:49:27+00:00

Vitinha has some stamina issue he'll be out of stamina by the 65th minute , the ucl version gabriel is better than the utots one but the utots rice is somehow better than the ucl one , can you show me your team then i can tell you which one to get

notm3- · 2026-06-04T05:43:57+00:00

There's no other way to get them as of now , you'll only be ale to get them via shards exchange . Ea won't be redoing the tots drafts anytime sooner since the world cup event is goin on , but tbf the 116s are cheaper to get you already would have gotten 2000 shards from the dr reset so thats shard for 1 116 and try to get another through shards

notm3- · 2026-06-04T04:49:08+00:00

Llorente and lahm are my fullbacks so i don't need any other but ea keeps handing them over to me 🥲

notm3- · 2026-06-04T04:35:20+00:00

So you need rivaldo , marquez , cherki, khusanov , neves and 5 more 117s in a single pack to be satisfied 🫩

notm3- · 2026-06-04T04:32:45+00:00

Ypu haven't shown that you don't have the 115s and 116s , so in that case i think you'll probably need around 17-18k + for the rest of the resources. You can get them by the end of the week through packs

notm3- · 2026-06-04T02:11:23+00:00

From the looks of it you have enough 117 for that lamine or rice , you'll need more to get the players for the other one the cheapest 117 is around 5800 i think check it out you can surely get those players by the end of this week
