How you guys are still playing that game is beyond me is abysmal. I'm worried for 22 after the beta too but the FUT addict in me will give it a go.

I didn't play it for 3-4 months earlier this year, it is quite bad though, even with all these great players it's not that much fun as everyone has the same quality of team and all the players are similar (90+ most stats).

Looking forward to 22, it'll probably be quite different to the Beta.

I doubt many are still on but what were/are your final teams for this year? Here's mine without any FP purchased:

Ronaldo looking up at the goat was always the way.

Lots of grinding ? Incredible team sir

So anyone else, that's still playing, find that they now have lots of high rated fodder and lots of really low rated fodder but nothing in that 80-85 range that'd be really useful right about now?

Stupid 82+ player picks (they were very good though)...

I'm considering buying FIFA 22, only because I've not played the 21.

What are the "new" features in 22?

I know most have probably stopped playing this now, but what happened to prices?
CR7 just halved in price, Messi and Neymar are both down around 300k too.

EA released 85x10 sbc which you can pretty much recycle for free once you completed first time.

Yes I've hopped back on just for the SBC grinding for Ronaldo - and have packed Summer Stars Ronaldo from the 85x10

Goody_GTI · 8 Sep 2021 at 17:04

Yes the 85x10 is great fun, probably one of the best value SBCs they’ve ever released
- just a shame it’s so late in the cycle

Robbo · 9 Sep 2021 at 10:16

Done CR7, Vieira and now doing R9 and maybe Gullit. I suspect it won't be much fun though as everyone will have the same team...

Looking forward to 22!

chroniclard · 9 Sep 2021 at 12:19

heh, that sbc is amusing, took me about 2 hours to do CR7 for nothing, not sure I can be bothered with anymore. :cry:

GoogalyMoogaly · 9 Sep 2021 at 14:18

How do you do all those for free? I just put all my dupes back into the SBC, if I don't use all the dupes I need to use higher level fodder that I don't have.

You must be grinding this thing like madmen!

I'd be far more tempted to if anyone was still playing. Although the issue now is that everyone will have good teams so relatively speaking I'd only have an average-ish team.

chroniclard · 9 Sep 2021 at 14:20

Do the 85 x 10 sbc once or twice, put the cards into the CR7 SBC, repeat.

5 squads left for Gullit now but completely out of fodder and cant get the chemistry. :cry:

Robbo · 9 Sep 2021 at 14:21

You get 10 players back, more often than not, most will be 90+, so put 5~ back in, and then use just whatever gold cards you have to fill out the rest (75s are fine).

When you complete sections of the Icon SBC's or whatever you are doing, you'll get gold cards back, so won't usually need to buy any. And if you get any that are 81+ gold, sell them, and you'll build up coins that way.

Do 2x 85x10
Then one Icon SBC segment (or CR7 or whatever)
Then another 2x 85x10
Another SBC segment

Repeat.

GoogalyMoogaly · 9 Sep 2021 at 14:35

See I must be getting unlucky then as I'm not getting high enough duplicates that I can get away with only putting 4 or 5 back in to the SBC without need high 70s or low 80s, which is what I'm starting to lack. I usually have 2, maybe 3, high rated cards left over once I've used enough I can complete it with silvers/bronzes.

Robbo · 9 Sep 2021 at 14:37

Keep the 3 highest rated ones and stick 6 or even 7 back in if you need to.

Unless you are sensationally unlucky it shouldn't be difficult. I usually get back a couple of 95's and a 97/98 each time, the rest are mostly over 90.

GoogalyMoogaly · 9 Sep 2021 at 14:54

I get a 95 or 96 if I'm lucky but most are 90-92 with a few 85-87s.

JustBen · 10 Sep 2021 at 13:23

I'm actually enjoying this fifa. I've not got it until it came on ea play and as its so late I can get some decent cards pretty quickly. I do think it's a bit silly the amount of 99 cards though. I'm not bothered about getting best players so have gone with players I've liked.
So I have de gea in gk
Rio and vidic at Cbs
Ashley Cole at lb
Giggs at lw
Crespo up at St and puskas at cam

Others positions are crappy filled until I have more coins to finish the team.
I'm unsure about fifa 22 purely because I'm in two minds if I should get rid of my ps4 for an Xbox series s

chroniclard · 10 Sep 2021 at 13:40

Finish Gullit, pretty much done, had a few rivals games, lowest squad I faced was 95. :cry:

But late to the game but just starting out in FUT been mainly seasons.

Finding it a pain at the moment, got a few loan cards that last 3 games then that's it back to very poor side. Got 3-4 half decent atacking players but the defence are poor. Just seems impossible with slow defenders coming up against a team full of 99 pace strikers constantly, would have thought the match making system would give you some kind of chance.

Don't bother starting now, get 22 and start with everyone else, much better!
