Surely not.. unless you’re sitting on a lot of investments
Last year they returned to the standard card base stats when they weren’t ‘boosted’ didn’t they? Surely. Otherwise a 90 pace Mascherano would be selling for far more than 15k

i got bunk, but got a champions league Mendy with some of the dross i swapped.
I feel you, I've had one decent pack all year (Kante and IF Hulk in the same pack) - and that was from the 100k pack in the Hazard SBC.
I've dropped > £500 in points, Elite 1 SB rewards, Rank 1 Rivals Rewards and Silver 1 WL rewards.

Had plenty of dross too.
Pretty sure you know the answer to that. In fairness that's not too tragic I've seen people do a lot worseIn FIFA19?Or over the years?

Fair play! If I was actually any good at the game, I'd probably be spending a lot more than I have. But having CR7, Neymar, De Gea, Pele etc won't help me until I improve
No doubt by around Christmas, I will be dumping a couple of hundred in to points

I said I’d give myself £100 at release to buy both the game and points. Now, instead of paying £55 for the game I game-shared it with a friend leaving me with around £70 for packs. Used about £20 over the first few days, bought another £30 last week but still have 5k fifa points sitting there for promo packs.
I generally allow myself £20 each (monthly) payday, with a slightly bigger one around Christmas/Black Friday if there’s lots of promo packs.
Anything I don’t use over the month i’ll Just roll into the next month etc. for TOTY for example

I spent nearly £300 on 18. Had Ronaldo and a load of Icons. Felt a massive waste. I'm determined not to spend on 19. It feels a pay to win game though so bad this year.
Soon as they remove AI stuff it should hopefully be easier

I've spent a 4 figure sums in the past on FIFA - horses for courses depends what you like. You can justify any disposable income as long you can afford it then why not?
Also you are far better spending at the start of the game as opposed to little bits here and there over the Fifa year.

Some people spend £100s on a night out and people smirk when you mention you have bought points, like you say its horses for courses.
I'm trying to do a first owner team. I'll cave in and buy points sure. Waiting for the 2-1 black Friday packs like last year.

Last year more than two card stats got boosted during those periods.
Mascherano won’t have 90 pace all year, it’ll switch to 2 different card stats and keep switching through the year between two 90 boosted card stat variations.
Just means some periods they’ll be useless, other times they’ll be decent or OP. The pack weighting on most of them is also really good so they aren’t that rare.

In FIFA19?
Fifa 19 - its a hefty sum, but I always frontload my spending so I'm able to build the best team I can upfront, I'll probably drop some in and dribs and drabs when promos are on, but thats most of my spending done. I have around 3 million in coins if I cash out my tradeables, on top of POTM Hazard.

I am creating this thread to help (at least a little bit) to everyone who recently got into FIFA 19 or haven't played the latest versions. I was kinda out of the loop for so long, but out of the blue all of my friends got infected with FIFA 19 (a couple of them may have played some FIFA 18 but nothing serious) and I felt like I was missing out.
I want to share a couple of things I learned over the course of a week while doing some research about the game.
- I will strongly recommend watching some twitch streams. This will help you get behind the idea of the "modern" FIFA if you had a break or will give you a general idea about sports games if you have never played one. Personal preference - I like AHugeGorilla's stream. The things I knew about the game are all a lie now. This is a completely new environment and you will need to spend a lot of time getting used to it.
- Watch some youtube videos. Watch a whole bunch of them. I watched training videos, free kick, gameplay, game mechanics. Hell, I've even watched videos about trading and ultimate team and stuff. This particular youtube videos playlist has helped me a lot. It's one hour long and it's covering the basics of the game so it is a great start.
- Please be patient while playing. Not every move you have imagined in your head will look exactly the same on screen and you can't do wonders after playing a couple of games.
- Never blame yourself or any of the players (dude, it's not Neymar's fault that you don't know how to shoot penalties). Getting angry for no reason will make you lose the next match too.
- Practice as much as possible. Ask some of your friends to play some casual games with you, training mode is always an idea.
- Make sure you choose a play style that fits your personality. Are you full of adrenaline and wanna rush into everything? Then find your attacking formation.
- And last but not least, relax and have some fun, it's just a game - and it's a really cool one. You will enjoy it, it's pretty competitive, we do a lot of wagers with my friends and I usually end up paying for beers and chips but who cares, I will get to the point where I own everybody (eventually).
P.S Do not play 2vs2 provoking the opponents when you are at a friends house because someone might just lose it and destroy a controller and leave all salty.
Cheers, hope someone finds use of my words.

Again, from EA:
"Those changes, which will see two different attributes boosted to a minimum of 90, will occur sporadically throughout the season and players will have to pay attention to find out when."
