Oh, I'm sure player instructions help; it's more all this "meta" this "meta" that you see. I think there is some YouTuber who posts daily with the latest "meta" tactic, it's ridiculous. The whole point of the reference, meta is that it's a singular 'thing'.

Completely agree with this, is his name Ovvy? or something similar he has been doing that crap for years. :cry:

Seems like others have jumped on the bandwagon. Must get the views..

Did you dip your fingers into Icon pick?

Yeah he rings a bell, although think the one I’m referring to is called a Neil or something.

I didn’t, I resisted and happy for it!

Bought Fifa 23 when online friendlies in 22 became scarce. It's worse in my opinion.

The Hypermotion replay is a perfect taunt for showoffs to really like to rub it in :cry:

though I tend to be on the receiving end more often than not.

Hi FIFA Ultimate team folks, you know these red world cup cards? Do they disappear soon or are they fair game to use in FUT squads?

Jimbeam3678 · 3 Jan 2023 at 20:17

Removed from tomorrow, when you load up Fifa there is message telling you and a QR code to scan if you would like to read more about it.

Is drop back a thing again? Everybody that I play against has 11 men in their box.

I played against 88 Jairzinho yesterday, who was rapid, and a nightmare. He is around 950k.

Or is it worth doing the SBC one? I have played against him and he didn't seem as half as affective as the 88. Thoughts?

Maybe do the loan first and go from there? General thoughts are he’s a decent card.

Edit - this is coming soon though

The mid should be better - it was probably just the player.

I was debating doing it too, got maybe 400k of fodder, but would need to sell Al Owairan. I do really prefer having an untradeable team though, or I just sell and change it all the time.

ive got Jairzinio hes very good but not as fast as youd expect

Andybtsn · 4 Jan 2023 at 14:30

It's like 89 Eusebio was always better than the 91 in 22.

Jairzinho SBC just hasn't ever caused me any issues where the 88 was like Adama Traore pace and great finish.

Oh I know that - but I think that relates to body type etc sometimes. Usually price is governed by pace primarily though.

Opps sorry I was talking about the wrong version of Jairzinho

Somehow I think I've qualified for FUT Champions having won a few games in the play-off part.

My question is, how does quitting games really affect the amount of coins you win in the various different modes?

I really disliked the play-off games because most people I came up against were miles better than me with God-like teams!

Is it worth playing for the rewards even if I lose/quit every game?

Jimbeam3678 · 5 Jan 2023 at 14:39

It’s skilled based matchmaking, so in theory assuming you lose 5 games back to back you should get very easy or at least easier opponents. It will use some variant of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

Give it a try and see how you get on. Quitting games slightly affecting the amount of coins you receive.

Zidane worth doing? I haven’t used him, very tempting though.

I used him last year and he was very good. I'm half temped to do the SBC but i have WC TOTT Foden in that position and he's been very good.

World cup hero Al Owiran is just bonkers. Goes past players so easily and is just all round amazing. Been using him at CAM in a 4-2-2-2 and he is winning game single handedly.
