Gaming FIFA 19

Yeah it might be gone. But unless you have lots of high rated untradable cards in your club I would rather buy a striker in the market than doing the SBC as they’re usually not worth it. Only reason why I did Crespo was because I had a base Keane in my club which I didn’t use.

I have Stoichkov, He is alright but would easily put him towards a good icon. Going to really try and get 14 futswap items for the baby icon too. I wouldn't mind Rashford but it would need to be his MOTM card the higher one is so expensive.

Hopefully Crespo or Butragueno get a moments card I can try and get
 
Timing is everything with packs imho, next year if I buy the game I'm going to be wiser and run a big of an experiment on this because...

imho...
We've just come off a big promo with feck loads of packs bought so for now there are probably too many high rated players packed whilst the lower players were fired in the upgrade SBC's. So with the 82-87 and player pick SBC's combined with big packs clubs are probably running low on 75-80 gold and rare gold. EA are going to load packs with them whilst cutting out the players who were packed a lot during promo's (82-87's) so the chance of packing anyone decent like Alex Sandro or Iniesta etc.. will be pretty slim.

Another thing to pay attention to is marquee matchup rewards.. Ea generally load these with the packs they think are needed to fill out the database, when its gold and silver packs with few rares, its a clear sign EA have decided to nerf pack rates, as common gold/silvers and low rated gold rares are running low.

The best time to open packs is when there is nothing going on imho. I'd be curious to compare the best cards packed during or outside of promo's from everyone here. But for me, I packed my Icon outside of a promo and any high rated player from rewards always came outside of promo's too.
This is very interesting and I agree with it. I’m pretty sure the odds are dynamic to make the market consistent. Do you think I would have a better chance of packing good players from the WL/rivals rewards if I wait until friday or saturday before opening?

Ah, right. Yeah it’s probably best to trade in Stoichkov. As you say you don’t cross so Butragueno would be the perfect striker for you. His mid card is the fastest player on the ball I’ve had in FIFA 19. He was also for some reason really strong, incredible at dribbling and could score from everywhere. But there are obviously other great strikers too.

I opened my last two from weekend league on the Friday and Saturday... Just as crap as any other time

:annoyed: I guess it won’t matter. It’s always the same crap week in week out. I just know Glik is going to be my highest rated pull. Totw is probably also going to be quite poor so nothing to get my hopes up.

EDIT - Is there a FUTSwap player available from Squad battles today?
Don’t think there is a swap player available from squad battles. They should all be listed under weekly objectives except for those you get from SBCs. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong!

I seen something on a website today, finish at least silver 1? in squad battles
 
Random question... Can you give someone your account? For example, could I give someone my origin and then that could become their account on their Xbox? Might ask my mate to swap accounts. Mine is probably slightly better overall but he has FB Ibra and decent enough squad

A FUT swaps tracker I follow on Twitter posted it earlier but it’s nowhere to be seen on the objectives or anything :confused:

Origin is PC right? Don’t think you can play on Xbox with an origin account. If it’s two xbox accounts then sure.

Strange. Really need all 14.
Edit: Yes there is one swap player that you get from finishing silver 3 or higher in squad battles this week. It’s not listed under weekly objectives though.

Everyone has an origin account or whatever its called? To get in the app you need to log in to it I thought.

Put Muriel on and play high pressure and just go for it. Give him penalties or tee him up for shots. I thought it would be a nightmare but got it done within 5 games
It’s just not happening for me, I’ve managed 1 so far. Already been relegated to division 2 as well :lol:

Have come back to the game for the first time since December just to do this icon pack FUT swaps. That squad battles one sounds horrific, does anyone know how many points I’ll need? Someone said I’ll need to play every game on World Class? :(

Probably no more than 5 games? Doubt that mate

You know what, I've just realised they said 'a full set on World Class', which was obviously referring to the whole set for one day :lol:

Excuse me while I get that done.

Let me know how you get on. When is the cut off in SB? So I can have my games played by then

For some reason I draw like 7/10 games in rivals. No matter who I face the game is so heavily scripted against whoever is in the lead that my games always end in draws. Played two games, scored with Jackson Martinez in both, drew both :mad:

Won one game 1-0 on world class, already silver 2
Edit: the required amount of points can change during the week. So one win will probably not be enough in the end.

Ahhhh right. More people will play as the week goes on (they discover it)

Well last week you needed 2,117 points to get Silver 3 - but I'd imagine this will increase a lot this week as there is actually a reason for people to play it.

I think I'll play the 4 games today and 3/4 tomorrow, that should be absolutely fine.
 
Gone all out to try and get this challenge done.

I’m trying to get it done, but I’m drawing every game. I’d seriously draw against my mom even though she has barely heard of FIFA. I’d also draw against an overclocked Tekkz/Msdossary hybrid-cyborg created by NASA with an unlimited budget.

I'm not sure, I think it might be worth waiting actually until all teams are bought but I'd imagine its more to do with the number being packed, its easy for EA to tempt people to spunk packs on TotS etc.. and lower rates while the chances of hitting a high rated non IF are slim.

I packed KDB this week in a pack (think it was from draft), the best thing I've packed in ages and I think its no coincidence its was a few days after a promo and the low end players had all been restocked (also it was a Saturday night when people are normally playing WL instead of grinding packs.)

Not sure if EA micro manage it down to day of the week but they definately change weights dependant on whats going on. I think weeks with no promo or event are probably best (like this week). They could well lower pack weights on Thursday and Monday's too, would make sense to me and boost them up while people are too busy playing matches to open packs and do SBC's.

Gonna take note of that too. I'll most likely buy the game next year and I'll spreadsheet all the data trying to keep it consistent.

One round of games on legendary will put you above silver 3 for the week provided you win them all. Aim for about 8k points on a busy week and you are sound.

Ah the joys of division 1. :lol:
 
Found 79 Zapata in my club, and luckily he has scored within 20 minutes and have subbed him off. Won my first two matches already, I thought this would kill me trying to do this:lol: hope haven’t talked to soon though!
 
I did the Columbia one in my first three games trying :lol: Bought the OTW Muriel card and it was actually a great card, scored in all three games and Davison Sanchez even scored from a corner just to rub it in :lol:.

Silver 3? Just need to play a few games i think mate.
 
How long have you got to complete the squad battles FUT swap challenge?
 
Flashback Jackson Martinez is honestly one of the worst gold strikers I’ve ever played with in any fifa. He takes 28 minutes to perform the shooting animation and he NEVER scores. Ever. feck me he’s bad. Would honestly rather use Andy Carroll.

Edit: Played 10 games in a row with Jackson. Couldn’t get anywhere near scoring with him. Bought Hurtado, scored in his first game which I won so have now completed the challenge.

It was like Jackson was playing on 500 ping. He was just so slow. It took minutes between each of his touches (took a while before I noticed that, usually his first touch bounced straight to the opponent and he lost the ball). He couldn’t shoot to save his life. I managed to hit him with a cross once, and I kid you not, the header went out for a throw-in to my opponent. He’s genuinely the worst gold striker I’ve ever used. feck him.

I tried it at the beginning but EA have made the market so unpredictable by having so many promos that constantly crash the market. But goodluck. Check out futchief, he used to be quite good i think.

Ask @Lemansky for tips. He’s an incredible trader.
 
Anyone tried that SBC Baluta? Looks a perfect super sub at around £14k.
