Camavinga from one of the picks
Camavinga from one of the picks
Lovely. Looks filth.
Belgian SBC today. Not sure who though. Assume someone like Kompany because KDB and Lakaka had tournament cards.
Unless we get a wild Fellaini.
Openda it is. A bit of a meh one. He was a good TOTS card but they serve this one up with a 95 rating when Werner gets a 97...
Four dupes on the pick. So into Openda and he is done.
I have Butra and Abily as the only SBCs left to complete. I might just rack up a million exchange packs and keep everything I pack until the fodder ramps up to do Butra.
Founders evo, rise up
This is me but add in Riquelme and Bompastor. The latter because I've already had her from this promo twice. I do need to compare how the Evo'd up one comes along to see if I can just let the SBC one go.
If you haven't tried her in game, give her a go allowed to get forward. She's amazing.
My only non-dupe was Joao Neves so into the club he goes for an SBC down the line.
I also popped an anchor on Reece James and he's probably now my favourite RB.
At this point unless you're 5*/5*, you're fodder, as far as I'm concerned
What a nerd caring about skills.
Did a full WL run in one evening/night with a little break in the middle. Started off using a TOTS team to try and rescue Marchisio. First game 6-0 down inside 30 mins. The TOTS team plays noticeably slower than my main one now. I put my controller down but he was one of these who will keep chasing the ball and running up the score so I picked it back up and got warmed up and used to the team a bit more. Knocked a few goals in and went into the next game and again could feel how sluggish it was. Just about came through it with a late 4-3 win, but that sent me on a run all the way from 0-1 to 10-1.
Towards the second half of that run it really clicked. So much so an adoring fan sent me literal death threats. I swapped the main team back in and then picked up a quick win followed by the best game of the weekend, which I lost AET 5-4. It was proper end to end football, no ratty tactics. At 11-2 now the strangest thing happened. I was gifted 3 wins on the run. There was even a 4th in there who quit as soon as the game started without gifting too. As nice as that is, the increase in form to 14-2 sure did knock the opponent difficulty up. The last four games were lose one, win one, but that was enough to get me to 16 wins.
Sadly nothing of note from the rewards. Triple 95s in the pack and the two picks only gave me one non-dupe in each and that was Watkins and Gonzalez. Still, Bacha and Marchisio have been rescued and I've gained enough level to move past Bonmati on the tracker. I've also moved past 1m coins. What I'll do with it, I have no idea.
Very nice! I have the GOTG Marchisio (with a whopping 0 games played) so had no urge to get involved this weekend.
I am in the same boat with coins, up to 1.7m, making about 400k this week from consumables, random sales and discards. I am thinking about doing the 81 x 100 pack when the next batch comes out, see if I can hit some cards really early to build from there. Or if I hit 2m before this batch goes I might do it then.
Seems like the best bang for your buck as everything is useful then. Exchanges and TOTW pack (so some tradeable stuff) galore!
I made 80k of that from the TOTS and TOTW tradeable packs.
Looks like Schweinsteiger today.
Looks like Engish, Chinese and Brazilian bronzes might sell nicely for that evo. I found a couple in my club who I could use or sell.
Apparently not. Futties Sterling.
96 Schweini in concepts. Back to apparently so.

@SincereTheRebel
Appears they added Bronze Chem Campbell from Wolves. Looks good out of that evo if you havent used it.
5/6 Dupes from the icon pack but GOTG Muller in the second pick.
Right, I'm gonna say it. Futties has been crap so far. A power side step rather than a curve for the vast majority of it and worse still far too many of the cards have pre-existing versions that are comparable if not just as good.
The menu grind was alright, but I'm even bored of that now. The reason? There's very little you can pack from it that actually improves your team, so all you end up doing is the grind of death to put shitty cards into SBC to get cards back that don't improve your team.
Examples of the above have already been provided but for another one if it were needed - I packed TOTY Hansen the other day. Not used any of her cards and was excited when I realised who it was only to check her card and realise it's just crap at this stage.
FUT25 now please.
You've beat me to the punch there but I agree so far. Seeing all of the best of stuff is nice, for about an hour. Then when you've packed Kainz for the 8th time of the day...
I said before the promo started I had a nasty feeling they would try to drip feed this one and it's happening. Every SBC(but not Werner/Dybala?) is coming in at 95 rated. If you're lucky you get a 96 or even 97, but looking at my team, it's littered with 97s and 98s already now. Unless he happens to be my favourite player, what is the point of a 95 Sterling, when you gave us a 95 Sterling nearly a month ago through an evo...
It's like they forget and then throw something out last minute. Only we know they don't because the leakers are giving this day(s) in advance. We still have this very batch of best of for a week and a half yet too.
Just packed Futties Best
And then TOTSM Neymar from the next pack.
Edit: And then Olmo PTG. Not as big as the other two but that'll do pig.
Sabitzer from the pick and then a 3 pack of Neves, Aramburu and Pedri. The latter would have been great to see but for him being an untradeable dupe.
Opened rivals packs as we've this batch for over a week yet so nothing will change. Managed to complete Riquelme from scratch just from that. I'm at the point where any exchange pack deals me about half worth of dupes. Enough in the club for maybe 40odd PPs again. There is only Abily, Butra and Sterling left to put fodder in as I just mopped up the two refreshed icon picks.
GOTG Koeman and Futties RvN. Both the only non-dupes in each pick. Assuming we get Bastian later. From the look of his card I'm expecting 15ish squads. They need to start producing the goods on these futties player ones though.
@Gray Fox
5 squads for Basti.
Kubo and R Carvalho out too. Along with another pick for TOTT and Futties
Goretzka from my guaranteed pink pack. Looks a beast.
Very nice! Dupe King for me
Jadons Ancho for me.
Koeman from a pick (the Icon one). Looks alright. Still 300k
TOTT Marquinhos for me and it was a dupe. Sent everything through the exchange etc and did manage to tick off Kubo and Basti. The pricing of both is confusing. Also got Olmo off an 86+ PP.
The tracker also gave me an 84 x 20 which showed a pink, but then turned out to be my 4th Bompastor.
I'm also getting quite ticked off with the futties players having alternate versions in packs. I've had TOTY Hansen twice, A.Pele double figures times and same for the 91 Mascherano. And even the lack of pink cards in general. I have opened a great many picks, packs, guarantees etc. Bompastor is I think the only one I've seen more than once.
Pulled a dupe TOTY Bellingham, not sure where to put him. Guess I might do Kubo.
Eto'o, Toure and Mane supposed to be coming as SBC's this week.
They better not fucking make him 96 rated... Sammy deserves much better.
Make him 98 rated and 45 squads. I'd much rather that.
I'm hoping team 3 has a solution to my Team LFC problem:
We haven't had a Liverpool SBC in at least like a week now and this is unacceptable.
@Gray Fox
Probably Darwin or Alexis...... Tsimikas?
Or a shit colour selection and its Robertson based on the follow up tweet.
He'd better have Relentless+ and whipped+. If they don't I'll be convinced they've never seen him play.
Need a shithouser PS.
Interesting silver cup/evos. Figure we get mids and defenders over the 2 days.
Absolutely dreadful content again.
Dogshit objective card, an inexplicable silver based (which they haven't bothered with all year) cup.
I suppose Fox will be happy with Robertson.
And 32 squads for Samuel Eto'o.
EA are literally stealing people's time at this point.
They showed their hand with the Butra pricing. They're basically either giving you 95 cards for cheap or if you want them end game you better pony up. It also begs the question that if they think this Eto'o is worth 32 squads, what are your big boys going to be?
I'm going to suggest tomorrow/Monday we're going to see a further step up on the upgrade SBCs to allow you to grind this better, but that seems a time sink right now. If there isn't it's just mind boggling.
Assuming they do improve the grind then this is my preferred way to do it. Grinding is better than proving sub-par cards.
There is also an evo, that lets you do another rating bump to a FUTTIES evo you've already done but adding a 5th PS+ of Rapid+.
If anyone is going to do the Silver stuff I would say wait a day or two to see if we get a full set of evo's. They say any game mode. We could do some friendlies and back out for each other to level up 6 cards (hopefully) in minutes.
Bobby Charlton from an Icon PP, not bad.
Futties Gavi from an 87+x4.
Not too shabby.
First FUTTIES from this batch was Malacia.
Done 4/5 of the picks (hunting Bruno really) and I have managed to avoid dupes, despite having loads of them. Best one probably only Marquinhos or Sabitzer though.
