The duplicate storage is the best thing these clowns added to this game. Too bad everything else is broken.
Yeah but unfortunately every SBC is ridiculously overpriced. They do it with every Kvara SBC.

Palmer's cheap but he doesn't look like anything special.

Yeah, no kidding. I have no idea how people are doing all these SBCs…. I probably don’t even have enough to make an 85 squad without gutting my XI.

Helllll no. You?

capping it at 87 is a rip off and also I don’t think I have the fodder for it
I think I did like two icon packs last year. :laugh:

Yeah probably a pass if I have any hope at doing Kvara, which I’m probably more likely to do since they are dropping a DiLorenzo SBC soon.

Nah I don’t think any of them are nearly good enough to be worth the crazy price.

But my team is so far behind these wallet-team shitters I’m dominating and still losing to. I need more than one pack per week and a little luck.
I need wingers so bad. I'm running a 2 striker formation with no wingers and it's hell creating anything. I just unlocked Adama so maybe he'll help. Was thinking about doing Iwobi since he's a direct link.

My 87x3 was 3 dupes :laugh:

I don’t have a Putellas lol.

Literally just got her between posts

You dirty little Griezmann rat :laugh:

Mendy is the most overpowered (relative to rating) card I’ve ever used. Unreal. We got lucky with that guy.

And I can see why you’d have trouble. I don’t think I could play with those two CMs instead of wingers. Way too slow. I’d recommend guys like Diaby or Coman but they wouldn’t fit your chem...

Hope it's alright I hop into the discussion.

How are you liking Trent? Was debating on trying him out at some point but haven't got around to doing so yet.

Might depend a little if end up I switching up my team completely after how this WL went, but I evo'd a guy from LaLiga2 and it's making it real tricky to keep him (and everyone else) on chem with so many other leagues present and not adding more icons to the mix.

Cody?! What's up buddy?

I was only using him for chem since I had just packed him. Probably didn't give him a fair shake but I think he's too slow as a true fullback. I didn't have a shadow on him so maybe he would have been better (I can't be chucking 5k on a shadow for a fodder card :laugh:). I was also trying him as a Falseback which was throwing off the balance of my formation since I didn't have any wingers lol. Plus I couldn't really use his whipped pass+ since he was mostly hanging around the midfield. He's cheap enough to try or you can use the Liverpool loan pack in objectives to try him out for a few games. He might fit your style if you need an attacking fullback.

But yeah chem is tough with no icons. I am probably going to do that Di Lorenzo SBC that just came out today and lean into a Serie A/French theme team.

Not a whole lot, just been getting frustrated by FIFA :laugh: How about you?

My pack luck (outside of the Hero/Icon packs that I've got Rui Costa[From WL Hero last week from 10 wins]/Berbatov [SBC Hero] and Larsson [SBC Icon] from the Icon) has been rather good this year, but I like playing with what my team looks like too much to stick with what should in theory work for me lol.

Only 3 players I've bought are Kounde a couple weeks ago, Antonia Silva (RB) and Marco Sangalli (RW). I think only Mendy and Van de Ven are tradeable, was debating on Van de Ven > Virgil and Kounde > Varane but it just mess with everyone's chem without another icon.

It also doesn't help I'm stuck trying to squeeze the RW in despite him being LaLiga2, because the evo'd version of him I have is probably my best card (and honestly not close stat wise). This is him on full chem with a hunter lol

10 wins? You're a little demon. Carry me in Rush sometime. Too many dopes in that mode.

van de Ven looks crazy but I would have sold him in an instant for that price for an 84, same with Mendy (also my OCD is kicking in, swap van de Ven and Kounde lol).

I was really into the evos at the start of last year, but got turned off when they would just release a better version of the good players in the next promo. Plus there were very few viable chains. We'll see if this year is different.

Yeah... rush can be very hit or miss... usually miss with randoms.

Van de Ven's price has actually gone up about 60k since I packed him. Was 130k then, up to around 190k now. I don't really need the coins right now tbh. Been playing the market a bit, hoping to have around 1.2 mill coins after I sell the stuff I bought tomorrow to make some changes to the team.

Only way I sell Mendy is if I get an untradeable one, he's been my go to LB for a couple years now (somehow I've managed to pack him every year lol)

Mendy was like the hardest card in the entire game to pack last year. Now it feels like everyone I play has him. :laugh:

Not sure if it’s still available, but Saw the movie for some reason Xbox game pass offers it for free.

On top of the special membership pricing but I think that ended.
