SANTAN Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 3 games. 3 losses. Is there no way I can do the league stuff but actually start at the bottom? I want a chance to build some coins and a team without having to play every game against pay to play teams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair div 3 is reasonably high so you will come up against higher rated teams but pretty much everyone has a decent team at this point in the game. As others have said I'd probably sweat squad battles and objectives until you get a semi useable team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Grimm Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Why do they always release the same cards? Like players on this Headliners promo a lot have already had special cards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div 3 is very high to come in at with a starting team and it will probably just take a while to find your level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Opened 2 ultimate packs with token. Both fronted with a Libertadores card. First one had Pjanic in it the other genuinely had an 83 as the highest rated card. Absolutely fucking pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrebleTwenty Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Not sure what I'm doing with my tokens yet. 2 more champs wins & I will have the 10.. I got Makelele from the last token icon pack. Gives me the jitters doing it again for Litmanen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I realise I'm late to the year to be starting but I just don't see why I have to be in Div 3, I want to start at the bottom, I've already been relegated to Div 4 though so I'm sure it won't take me too long! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Ended up just opening the 83x25 pack. Neuer and Sterling FFS. Ever since I got Mbappe from that player pick, the luck has completely and utterly ran out. I used some of the duplicates to do the 86+ upgrade- Jan Oblak. Amazing rating but just so fucking dull and yet another fucking goalkeeper. The drop rate of keepers is ridiculous. That 84+ player pick? Jordan Henderson. Away in the fucking sea EA... Completed Robben and Klaiber though to cheer me up a bit. Can’t wait to face them in like 70% of my games this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like players on this Headliners promo a lot have already had special cards? The headliners promo is supposed to be for players who have played well IRL and had several in forms already. These are live cards which will continue to increase for as long as the player is playing well IRL and getting in forms, it also increases if their team wins 4 games on the bounce IRL. I don't disagree that they generally have the same players in promos every year (just waiting on a Ryan Kent this year) but it makes sense for the headliners promo. My only surprise was that there was no Lautaro Martinez in this promo. When they left him out of totw I was pretty certain... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 New low even for fifa here, game subbing off the wrong player went to sub off Lewandowski and it took off Haaland, not to mention the unplayable button lag on champs again, not even going to hide how raging I am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Entered weekend league for only the second time this weekend. Managed only Silver 2 last time out, but got Silver 1 already this time round, which is pleasing as the 2,000 points means I can enter next weekend too. 8 games left, so will set my sights on Gold 3 tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like trying different cards, I get others like jsut being as meta as possible though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the live cards have to ability to drop their stats also depending on performances, I know its much easier to bump stats up based on scoring or MoM awards ect but I think it would be good seeing it go the other way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrebleTwenty Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 So aye. I decided for base-mid icon with my 10 tokens, I only have 2 icons in my club.. If EA think this will convince me to buy FIFA points, then they can shove there duplicate's up there arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'm up to 16 Swap Icons now, just got the Weekend League one to complete (which I can't do till next weekend as I didn't register this week) and the Brazil One Nation one (which should be fun as I only have 7 Brazilians in my club). Not 100% what I'm going to do with them all but leaning towards the lower packs and a base icon as I don't really fancy any of the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robosaintee Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Needed 8 wins in champs for my last token to get the base icon pack and I'm currently 8-0! Best start this year I think. Popped my pack. Not disappointed cos I will use him but took him from swaps last year. Oh well, could have been a lot worse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Started off the weekend with the same team of frauds that were miles off it a few weeks back, playing a 4-4-2 primarily with Deulofeu and Felix up top and Van Bergen and Promes on the wings. Didn't feel good at all though in the first few games; Deulofeu seems to have a lot of rather fake stats and doesn't feel as good as he should in game, so I brought in IF Carrasco instead which gave Llorente full chem (he has been much better himself since). Mendy also (sadly) in to replace Berchiche, who was consistently getting roasted despite his 93 pace. On the right side of defence, the enormous fraud that was Mukiele has been swapped out for Klaiber - he is absolutely sensational even without an upgrade, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who can fit him in (even on 8 chem). These changes and a switch to a 4-2-3-1 have brought me great success, though, and I'm currently 15-2. Only entered this week in an attempt to get 18 wins for the final Swaps token, so to be playing so well despite the relative weakness of my team is most pleasing. The boys are now as below, as we seek to get 3 wins from 13 games tomorrow. Hopefully sneak Gold 1 too, but I think Elite is beyond this lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their policy is that you can't have two in a row. In fact, this year they've stuck pretty rigidly to a five-week gap between IFs. Stops guys who are stat-padding week in, week out from racking up an inordinate amount of special cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauzee#4 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 With 650k(potentially closer to a million if I sell the second Alaba), who are you putting in at CB? Icon or just go full rat and get the autoblock god Varane? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
