*** The Official FIFA 17 Thread ***

Stuck in a hotel room bored so had some Twitch guy on called Castro playing in the background and he's burnt through over 100k in FIFA POINTS and got zilch! Unbelievable

I watch him, usually as background noise, he's gone over 100's of thousands worth of points since FIFA came out. He's pretty good and can be funny, also if I'm in a bad mood extremely annoying.

He's probably spent close to what you have diva.

Ha ha I walked into that one , he's spent more in the last 3 hours of me watching him than I have all year.

I agree with you though on he can be annoying or mildly amusing dependant on my mood.

EDIT I mean what the hell is this mess:confused:

I don't understand why Fifa YouTubers all wear snapbacks and try to be gangsta/chavs, is the target audience that simple? Am I in the minority in finding them unbelievably irritating and almost universally very stupid? I really like Japes but he's very much the exception.

Struggling to qualify for the weekend league, lost a final I should never have lost and then gone out in the second round twice to PTB borefest crap.

Spencer is pretty decent, I also like Nep and Bateson but they're not for everybody.

As far as Twitch streamers, I sometimes watch Castro but he gets annoying pretty quickly, Inception is good if you want chilled gameplay and the guy can really play.

I'm ashamed that Bateson has my name :(

Spencer was only funny when he was that masked character, he was quite amusing.
 
Bateson is irritatingly basic. He's often the first to have player reviews up so I have to put myself threw a minutes of him now and then but... argh. It's hard work.
 
I follow nepenthez on twitter, mainly for news and SBC updates, but he gets wound up easily.

Bought Suarez last night for 463k (now at 530k PS4) and Messi for 810k, now at 870k. Just needing a few more players to add to the squad - rakitic, Pepe, possibly modric or kroos to hybrid into bundesliga/calcio a.

Thinking of buying more tonight before prices rebound.

This is the reason i slog my way through the weekend league to get gold 3 just so i don;t need to qualify, also means i don't need to play fifa through the week.

Oh wow, prices on the rise again, Aguero at 315k!
Not for my players i bought when the prices started to drop, loosing money if i selll oblak, veratti, cavani and pastore at the moment. half tempted to buy some more veratti's at the current price as they should rise.

i think it was him who put something on twitter in which he had 340k fifa points! so about £2.5-3k worth
 
I've always assumed that they get given their packs to advertise the game. Certainly Nepenthez I've seen infer as much.

I think Nep said he bought XB Live codes wholesale, and I think from another country, which enabled him to get them at a massively reduced rate. He is then able to deduct those from his income as a business expense, reducing his tax liability, so in effect he is getting them for less than half the retail price once all is said and done.

Not sure about how Castro funds his, but if you look at his channel yesterday, I was only on there until about 8pm, and by that point he had about 500 subscribers, so that's $1250 already back into his pocket, that's not counting donations and he'd already had a couple of $100 donations that day, revenue he gets from his G2A, Scuff, Steel Series and various other affiliates.

Don't get me wrong, he can't afford to do 200,000 FIFA points a day every day, but aside from TOTY / TOTS those days are few and far between.

I bought Dybala back for 140k (PS prices) - he ruined me in a game last night and selling him ruined my WL, for the sake of a few thousands I'd rather he be winning me games rather than losing them. The Ronaldo dream is much further away but hey ho.
 
Good time to buy Irish players ahead of St Patricks day. I know it's still 2 months or so away but you can pick up a lot of players for minimum/discard prices at the moment due to TOTY.

In previous years there's been an Irish players only tournament but can see an SBC happening this year. So if you've got 10-20k to spare for 2 months then I'd stock up on a few in your trade pile and this is pretty low risk in that you won't lose much (if anything).
