Never played FUT before but figured I'd give it a try on a lark. It's fun so far but my only question is, is there any easy way to figure out which Squad Building Challenges you can complete with what players you have?

Futbin has an SBC section that has user submitted solutions. Most usually copy the solutions so some of the listed prices can be inflated because everyone rushes to buy those players on the market so I use the solutions mainly to just a better idea of what links I need to use.

Thanks. Game looks great, but I also haven’t really played any FIFA in the last ten years. Time to watch some YouTube videos or something and figure out how to actually play the game

Solo challenges is great. If I can dick around by myself for 20 minutes a day and play a few matches on the weekend that’s perfect

I bought this stupid $100 game on ps5 so I could play it early despite having two young kids and no free time to play it early.

What are parms and does it require me to actually keep to a schedule?

Highlight of my packs has probably been Dembele so far who feels great to play with given his pace.

The Gakpo POTM SBC also seems really cheap for how good that card is.

So I did this one with some junk I had lying around in my club so no coin outlay and got mid Garrincha. Pretty sweet!

That's awesome. Didn't have as great of luck with the two latest icon SBCs, but wasn't terrible. Got prime Veron and prime Luis Hernandez. Still luck is with me though, did manage to a TOTY Icon Nesta though and holy poo poo only managed to play one game with him but he's amazing. Him and Van Dijk are just absolute destroyers in the box. Can't even imagine how good the speical Van Dijk cards must be.

Here's the team now. Finally started playing Rivals. I would kill for one of the upgraded Benzema cards but his gold still works great for me

It's reached the point in the year where I bail and have had enough of the power curve. Its probably been annoying for a month now at least but its simply just not viable to use fun players anymore. I know we will never get the fifa 13-15 era where non rares, week 1 IFs etc were viable to the end of the game but drat they need to rework the power code and not make certain cards cheat codes that are necessary to use. Using Ronaldo in a game like 15, yes he was elite, but it wasn't glitched where they are untackleable, if the ball gets tackled goes back to them against physics, and score from preposterous angles. I remember winning division 1 with that 72 eddy johnson as one of the strikers. If they had a league or ongoing tournaments that capped out at a team rating of 86 or so I'd stick around but man the way they make elite cards play is really really wack.

Also I just wish they would go back to only performance based cards. I know the genie is out of the bottle on that but giving random french right backs 99 passing and putting chiellini at CAM, it's all just very stupid to me.

The promotion/relegation system and match-making in general feels pretty bad in Rivals. I just started playing Rivals after doing only squad battles for a few months and I feel like a prick sometimes because I'm in division 9 playing some dude with all mediocre golds with a team that has a bunch of icons.

First experience with Weekend League was rough. Quick 0-4 last night but the last game at least was a banger where I ended up losing 6-4 in extra time. That big fucker POTM Sorloth the bane of my existence.

On the plus side lucked out with my fifteen token pick and got WW DeBruyne. And what the hell he has 99 physical

WL tends to be sweaty as gently caress. Did you have fun with it though?

Hell yeah had two great matches in between getting spanked. Also learned a few things namely that I needed more defensive support in the midfield so switched things up a bit.



Had a lot more success with this and Kante and Pogba sitting in the midfield. DeBruyne as pretty much a second striker in the box has been great. At some point I think I'll want to replace Cole with one of the Saka special cards but enjoying the team as it is. Everyone in FIFA seems to play so aggressively and press so heavily that it's all about having enough people back to not get scored on and then set up a counter.

Oh when does FIFA update teams for transfers? I'll have to switch out Cancelo at some point if/when they update him to a Bayern player

Here’s the team now, was so pumped to get Prime Henry in this icon SBC since he’s probably my favorite player of all time. He’s so good, the lankiness seems to really mess with defenders.

Nowhere to go but down. Gold Mbappe feels like the signpost for prices and he’s been a one way train lower.

With this year winding down I’m pretty curious what they’re gonna do with EA FC next year. I’m sure they’ll just do the same poo poo because it’s working but it’d be interesting if they tried to do something new.

Have had good luck with the icon packs and just had to do the Zidane SBC since it’s freaking Zidane. Bonmati is great, she’s so responsive. Same as you, Van Dijk has been in the team since packing him, but need another CB to pair with him, though Moore has been surprisingly decent especially with Anticipate+.
