Gaming FIFA 23

Best in kinda shit. 9 WL games left. I'm very confident I won't win more than 2. Ive gotten robbed so many fecking games it's infuriating. I just wish being good mattered in this game. Just cutbacks, rebounds, intercepting every sinle pass without even trying. Nothing goes your way.

Just packed that musiala future stars was expecting a 200k or something then checked his price and was blown away.

Not complaining though after a huge dry spell of not packing anyone.

Lovely team. I know your defence has meta players but looking at it reminds me of the horse picture meme. That special Dalot and any version of Theo would be decent.

100% that horse meme. Kalulu the only one there who isn't some basic guy, got him untradeable so he replaced Ledley King (untradeable) though he wasn't bad. My midfield and attack is all untradeables bar Casemiro, so I could upgrade him with his world cup car for more pace I guess.

Is Hernandez better than Mendy in the game? How does he compare to maybe Lahm or Zambrotta (their cheaper versions)?

Honestly Mendy is by far the best LB iv'e used for price to ability ratio. Will say Maldini as just a stay back LB has impressed me but does have his moments when the oppo goes all out, high press his dribbling lets him down a bit.

Zambrotta is always solid but haven't used either so can't comment RB options outside of Hakimi aren't the best. The 88 Dalot card looks class though and he's relatively cheap, fits your team nicely too and it's another United player.

Tradeable? if yes get him sold, no idea why that card is that price.

Next is upgrading on Mendy and Walker.. probably the best team I've ever had on FUT and this is one of the least I've ever played it.

Wow, how did you get Ronaldo??

Please please do upgrade them. Mendy isn't even on full chem so you've got plenty of options. There's a future stars malacia coming that would fit nicely.

How's Radford?

That's a hilarious meme and I've usually associated it with game of thrones but Bosnian comes close after that beaut up top leads to mendy

Honestly if Mendy felt like a weakness I would have replaced him, but having an untradeable 83 play like him every game just makes me ignore it. It's funny how broken the card is. Now that the attack and midfield is pretty much "completed" though, time to work on the fullbacks...

Rashford is great. Plays better than his stats. One of those that have a specific body type unique to the player so he's fast as feck, great dribbling.

Is there? thats a game changer for me I'm needing a top quality LB.
 
Frank White said:
Will be tonight in the mini release. Hoping to pull him in the 85x10 been using the Timbers and they're both class and I'm in need of a LB so win/win.

nice, I usually try get any special card that’s a United player but he would fit my team very well.

You're not wrong at all. I packed baby Roberto Carlos in my first icon SBC. Then packed IF Theo. I could tell why Theo is more "meta" but didn't feel like I lost a lot w Carlos. And then packed Mendy a while later. Tried him out and it's actually kind of sickening how good he is. Clear above Theo and honestly better than Carlos in all the ways that matter in this game except for crossing and shooting.

Usually bring Mendy on as a sub now.

I'm running low on fodder but tempted w Rashford to help get Kane on better chem. Flashback Ronaldo is my current LW and a hard one to displace. Neither di maria nor Mane SBCs have been able to

Yeah the only fullback who I've been wowed with so far was Cafu during a draft. Capdevilla felt meh, never tried Roberto Carlos... Mendy always just feels faster than any attacker and very agile (and 5 star weak foot).

Don't miss out on the Phil Jones flashback within the Smalling flashback SBC :lol:

already done it mate, smalling is brilliant in game And in my main team. Phil jones is just in my club and probably won’t see the pitch much like real life I guess :lol:

Chose Cafu for the WC picks. Irreplaceable.

Also, expecting an 89+ prime icon pick SBC soon. Can you blow some Brazilian luck my way ?

Unfortunately I dropped fut in about late October or whenever god of war came out (I remember I got that one dzeko card with pace when he was 130k...) and then picked it up during the daily login sbcs during the toty. So completely missed all the world Cup stuff. Was Cafu easy to get? Shame

It was a grind! I think 30 tokens vs 40 for Vieira. I'm basically tapped out on Fifa from all that. Much like you, best team I've ever had in the game. But also just too much time and stress around it. I really need to stick to single player games hah
 
Had a dupe Oblak so did the icon pack and got WC Figo. Looks like a slight upgrade on Kaka but he's been class for me recently. Well worth a run out but was hoping for one of the big guns to finally replace Mbappe. I keep having to talk myself out of doing POTM Mbappe really wished they would have gave him better upgrades cannot justify the slight upgrade over the untradable gold card i have.

Yeah absolutely he's not worth upgrading the gold card if you have it untradeable.

I got fecking Laudrup for the second time, sigh
 
Just grinded that 50 squads for the nuno card, it cost me about 300k in total but I got an absolute ton of high rated cards back from the 82 picks that come with it plus I got 3 future stars players too. (Nketiah, carvalho, fagioli.).

All in all I'd say its just about worth it for me.

I know but dynamic image>non image.....

Unlucky 2x times too ughh that's rough. Sucks the fun out of the game that they stagger the release of the icons imo using them is probably the best part of the game.

For better or worse I'd already dumped him back into the SBC! Glad to not have the duplicate but seeing the Danish flag again was a fecking bummer hah

Iv'e completed it 22 times and down about 30k with a Neymar and about 7 86+ from it. In no rush to do it but want at least the 86 by Tuesday for qualifiers. Doing the premium league sbc selling anything of value and anything untradeable 82-84 gets put into Nuno.

I have just come to the conclusion that i'm going to get shafted by these gamble sbc's so anything mildly usable is a win in my books. Luckily enough that Figo gets into my team so can't complain.

To be fair I did get WC Eusebio earlier - so I'm definitely playing with house money as he's an absolute demon.

I just did it to get it done and forget about it. He’s in my team linked to Bailey and Fofana, his 86 was fantastic so I can only imagine his 88 is one of the best LB in the game, I don’t understand why it got so much hate in the community, I’d love EA to do more things like this.

if you look at the face of it people think it’s an 88 rated card that costs 300k while that is the reality you get an absolute ton of high rated cards back from the packs and you get 3 versions of the card Itself. Big W from EA for once.

What is the best combination to spend your FS tokens on? I've only missed one so far, so expecting to have 29 at the end (assuming they release 30).

I've been eyeing up Best, but i'm tempted by the multi player packs

Have you got your eyes on any SBC's or are interested in any of these promo players? If yes then the fodder packs should be it, personally went with the 84x20 and 85x10 will save the latter for the next promo think it's RTTF so hopefully some decent cards.

Heard mixed reviews on Best and the 87+ pp again has been really hit or miss from what iv'e seen. You could get both fodder packs and the team 1 pack for 28 tokens.

Think it's in waves. Had a real good wave with the baby icon sbcs, then poor run then prime Maldini. But since then it's been another bad run, with Trezeguet out of the latest.

Need to convince myself not to try it again when it refreshes

I got Best (stats wise looks great and can play anywhere across the attack), and then whatever I have left I'll see. Probably just do a future stars player for 3 and then if I get another 2, get the first swaps pack (81+ x11)
 
Genuinely hate to be that guy but in the space of three weeks i have packed untradeable TOTY Modric and TOTY Makelele, untradeable World Cup Lucio, Tradeable prime Vieira netting me 1.9mill coins, and then last night i got Prime Gullit worth 5.6mill coins in the 89+ icon SBC!

ts been one after the other! Unbelievable luck. Means i have benched WC Al-Owairan and mid Zidane, who most people would be buzzing to have, and i bought PTG Papu Gomez because he's unbelievable and why not. :lol:

Wow some luck. I spent my last 3 tokens on the Future Stars Team 1 player pack and got Kalulu. An untrabeable I already have….

Finally made my United PaP team! No coins left as I opted for mid Cantona. Couldn't afford Malacia either but will use this team and try to upgrade it for the remainder of the game cycle. Bench is pretty crap, got mid Schweinsteiger, hero Solskjaer, FB Phil Jones and that's pretty much it.

Switching Pogba and Park, Cantona and Rooney in game.
 
I finally began my career mode with United yesterday...things were going swimmingly, I had won the pre-season tournament tournament I was in, won my first three league matches, and I'd been successful in offloading Jones and van de Beek for decent fees...well, somehow, I guess because I wasn't paying enough attention to EVERY single email I got, I missed that Leicester City had agreed to pay me Bruno's release clause of 118 million and that if I didn't want to lose him I'd damn well better go negotiate a new contract with him...well, I didn't realize what was happening until I got the email that he had agreed terms with Leicester and he was gone.

So, shite. Thinking about starting over now and immediately renegotiating with any player who has a release clause to remove it.
