I'm going to be playing ultimate team this year (and only this year) I haven't played it for about 6 years so i'm out of the loop, I'm planning on buying a lot of packs when the game first comes out (Please don't tell me otherwise, i'm not addicted like most and will only be doing so on this version, i have self control) "moan moan whinge, i hate this game but i'm going to buy it anyway, moan moan whinge whinge" ive always enjoyed playing this game.

but when will be the best time to buy players? should i open my packs, sell most players, wait a month or so and then buy?

Depending on how much ‘loads’ is, buy Mbappe or other desirable players as early as possible then sell a week after general release is usually a solid strategy.

Yes agree - the desirable players usually go up a lot just before the first weekend league as people buy teams

And more importantly, have managed to generate coins via opening pack

@Rids @Quinnaay are you onboard this year?

Content creator access :rolleyes:

I’m not overly fussed about the early Webapp access, but giving streamers early access just leaves a sour taste. Understand why EA do it, as it is essentially free advertising.

Yep and clearly told to hold off on the negative press

19th September, the day Bateson spends 16 hours and about £10k opening premium gold packs.

I really dislike all this early access nonsense, I remember the days when a game had one release date and everybody just made up their minds weather it was good or bad.
Now we have a ton of "nobody" social media streamers that get to play well in advance of everyone and give their "paid for" positive review of a game. (in most cases)

I'll do what I always end up doing and buying it sometime in May/June when it's around £20 or less.

Find that it's easy and cheap on UT then to build a reasonable team without silly grinding.

Jimbeam3678 · 17 Sep 2023 at 17:27

EA have the usual 79p offer on for EA play. Pays for itself if anyone is buying packs or wants a free 10 hour trial.

Goody_GTI · 21 Sep 2023 at 21:48

Anyone playing this on the Web App? I’m still not buying it but I’ve been seeing how the grind is so far and will probably give the 10 hour trial a play. It’s hard to get coins with no starter packs!

Ayahuasca · 21 Sep 2023 at 21:53

It’s a no from me, it seems more pay2win than ever.

The last few I’ve picked up around Christmas at a much lower price and when it’s still easy to catch up.

I'm getting this vibe too

Dsteviedee · 22 Sep 2023 at 10:49

Just using Web App/Companion to build some coins using Bronze Pack Method, just in case I cave in an decide to buy!

Andybtsn · 22 Sep 2023 at 12:02

Opening my 4600 points, some ok players to get me started, Bernardo Silva being one

Andybtsn · 22 Sep 2023 at 12:14

CR7, Kante and Laporte. I guess I'm building a Saudi team!

Rage85 · 22 Sep 2023 at 12:49

The usual on here then

I HATE FIFA
IM NOT PLAYING IT

Oops I accidentally fell onto the app.

I'm playing again now.

What does anyone think of the women players? I tried the leah williamson card but she is so small for a CB! No idea how size and physicality is going to work with those cards
