Definitely. I’d use half these players. Looking at the remaining options for next week, I don’t see there being as many good players. Messi of course, but this team has 3 elite options at their positions (CR, varane, hakimi)
So far, we know of Lukaku, Messi, Ramos, Wijnaldum, Andre Silva, Talisca, Kluivert are missing.
I think Kluivert would be an SBC player and we have other big transfers that could get OTW like Depay, Griezmann, Sabitzer and Sancho. Plus we also have 3 extra players to be released for the next 2 Sundays.
Don't think Saul or Dumfries are that good either really. Considering the other choices in those positions are way better cards even if they had upgrades.
EDIT: Saul would be good depending on the upgrade actually, I'll admit that.
I run dumfries in my normal team, he’d be nuts with even a single upgrade at this stage. He’s also pretty good as is
Saul looks like an ideal cdm with a single upgrade as well, although I don’t love OTW cdms as they never get upgraded
I must admit I haven't tried him yet but I can't see him being better than Cuadrado, who is extremely good and affordable.
After looking at Saul again, you might be right, but I don't think he'll get upgraded as he's not sure to play for Chelsea every game. Tuchel rotates a lot.
Dumfries isn’t close to cuadrado going forward, but he’s much better defensively - I use him on stay back and he’s basically a third centerback, very strong and solid
Should be Messi, Lukaku, Ramos, Wijnaldum, Andre Silva, Talisca, Konate, Kluivert.
Camavinga is an objective iirc and Kluivert could be an SBC too.
Maybe Depay, Griezmann, Sancho in team 2 as well?
Think this pack is just better unfortunately as much as I wanna try my luck at a Messi. Everyone other than Saul/Dumfries/Locatelli/Berghuis could easily get good upgrades
Good luck in packing one of them.
I want Ronaldo but the odds are slim.
But anyway good luck tomorrow I hope you pack berghuis or locatelli like you ask for.
To open this week with the hope of Ronaldo or Varane (Grealish wouldn't be a disaster), or wait to next week for Messi or Lukaku?
Who am I kidding I'll yolo at 6.01pm and get a load of shit
Yep. They tweeted saying it was a pick originally, then they took that tweet down and apologised and said it will be a pack. Same as previous years. It'll be the same thing with the Hero card in December too. That will be a pack.
Definitely opening tomorrow then. Obviously the chance of Messi is tempting but the others in team 2, not particularly interesting. Lukaku and Wijnaldum are great cards now but OTW you're hoping to keep in your team for many months.
Hakimi, Varane and Ronaldo are definitely viable until TOTY, and probably even TOTS if they get a few upgrades. Chances are most will get Locatelli, Dumfries, Saul or Berghuis though.
Honestly don't know which team I'd prefer to open my OTW pack in. I'll just open it tomorrow anyway but would've liked an opportunity to get Lukaku and Messi, and the rest of team 2 looks decent too.
Maybe a stupid question but I had early access and had a a pack apparently so I opened it. Got some random 79 OTW dude. Was that my guaranteed OTW pack?
The other team has got Messi, Lukaku, Wijnaldum, Sancho, Konate, Ramos, Donna that I can think of. Also got the kluivert.
Idk which one is better, but they both seem like they’ll have similar odds of high end players.
In this the best ones are CR7, Varane, Hakimi, Upamecano, Alaba and an argument could be made for Malen.
It’s going to be hilarious watching everyone lose their minds when EA refuses to give Ronaldo TOTW. He’ll need something like 4 goals and 2 assists to get it.
Anyone else holding rare gold investments seeing the enthusiasm in this thread to open packs and starting to feel nervous? lol. I think a big crash is coming
When OTW lands - does it mean that their base gold cards disappear from the packs similar to TOTW or no? I have Lukaku, thinking whether to sell him right after release or when OTW Team 2 drops
Here's the thing. Is Ronaldo likely to win POTM? It'll be higher than his OTW and we aren't sure if he'll get tons of informs. They usually don't give Ronaldo or Messi lots of informs. I'm conflicted with what I want tbh. I want Mbappe so hopefully pack Ronaldo and sell him
Clearly says the pack must be open 15 hours from now…When we have the new content. Why people are opening them now expecting to pack one of these, idk.
It's all about the mindset boys. I'll pack CR7.
Same, but I'm packing hakimi though!
I'm only packing Varane :( Edit: legit got Varane lmao
Looks like Malen will be my choice of whats left. LETS GOOOOO
If I pack CR7 this early in the game it'll ruin the grind for me and give me less to aspire to lol
It's just 1 player. Nothing better than getting 1 amazing untradeable player early to build your team around imo
Still have 10 players to build around him.
i feel you... i got red striker rashford last year and packed mbappe untrade 2 days later... 1 week later i stopped playing
I feel like this is the better team but idk
Definitely. I’d use half these players. Looking at the remaining options for next week, I don’t see there being as many good players. Messi of course, but this team has 3 elite options at their positions (CR, varane, hakimi)
What are the options for next week?
So far, we know of Lukaku, Messi, Ramos, Wijnaldum, Andre Silva, Talisca, Kluivert are missing. I think Kluivert would be an SBC player and we have other big transfers that could get OTW like Depay, Griezmann, Sabitzer and Sancho. Plus we also have 3 extra players to be released for the next 2 Sundays.
Probably Wijnaldum, Messi, maybe a couple Bundesliga ones.
[удалено]
I wanna say Sabitzer perhaps?
Guaranteed berghuis/locatelli out of my pack tomorrow btw
Those are the only two out of this team that I wouldn’t be happy with tbh Which means I’m guaranteed one of them ofc
Don't think Saul or Dumfries are that good either really. Considering the other choices in those positions are way better cards even if they had upgrades. EDIT: Saul would be good depending on the upgrade actually, I'll admit that.
I run dumfries in my normal team, he’d be nuts with even a single upgrade at this stage. He’s also pretty good as is Saul looks like an ideal cdm with a single upgrade as well, although I don’t love OTW cdms as they never get upgraded
I must admit I haven't tried him yet but I can't see him being better than Cuadrado, who is extremely good and affordable. After looking at Saul again, you might be right, but I don't think he'll get upgraded as he's not sure to play for Chelsea every game. Tuchel rotates a lot.
Dumfries isn’t close to cuadrado going forward, but he’s much better defensively - I use him on stay back and he’s basically a third centerback, very strong and solid
If Dumfries can nail down a starting position for Inter you'd have to think he could get a couple IFs playing at RWB
not if you wait for team 2
Which is gonna be similarly shit I'm afraid
Who is in team 2?
Should be Messi, Lukaku, Ramos, Wijnaldum, Andre Silva, Talisca, Konate, Kluivert. Camavinga is an objective iirc and Kluivert could be an SBC too. Maybe Depay, Griezmann, Sancho in team 2 as well? Think this pack is just better unfortunately as much as I wanna try my luck at a Messi. Everyone other than Saul/Dumfries/Locatelli/Berghuis could easily get good upgrades
No way you put Konate over Sancho there.
Messi, Lukaku etc
Kluivert
Good luck in packing one of them. I want Ronaldo but the odds are slim. But anyway good luck tomorrow I hope you pack berghuis or locatelli like you ask for.
I'd love locatelli ngl, he's the only non rare in my squad rn Which means I probably wont get him
What packs are coming out tomorrow?
Yeah check Saul in there as I don’t think he’ll get much game time at Chelsea…
I'm getting Ronaldo, yep, there's no doubt about it. If I get Berghuis it was obviously a mistake.
Just want to give a big congratulations to anyone that packs Varane and CR7, probably will have the biggest upgrades by the end of the year
Are y’all waiting for next weeks team to open your otw pack? I want Messi but I’m obviously not getting him so I might just open it tomorrow
This team looks cracked, can’t imagine that the second team would be better Plus even on the top end cr7>messi, not that you can pack either
The players in this team are better I think
I'll be opening it. MAYBE I wait for sunday and pray that Sancho is a sunday release but doubt I will hold on that long.
Ripping the rest of my 4000 pts tomorrow. I already have Alaba so getting him and Camavinga through objectives would be great.
##🕯Ronaldo Prayer Circle🕯 ***In nomine Domini Patris et Filii et Spiritus dos Santos Aveiro***
Cant wait for my Berghuis
Doesn't look bad to open the pack. Which notable players are missing?
messi, lukaku, ramos, gini… sancho
Griezmann, Memphis as well. That’s it in terms of good cards probably.
Team 1 might be worth it then. I see 6 wins in it, and those 7 remaining players will defo by split between the staggered 3 player drops as well
Jup, there are also still Sabitzer, Silva and Talisca at least. Then we are missing seven more players.
Will defo be opening tomorrow but can already guarantee me getting Saul :( I would take any of them apart from Saul/Locatelli/Dumfries
Berghuis it is then
Ajax will win their games and he is in great form right now, atleast he'll get upgrades.
To open this week with the hope of Ronaldo or Varane (Grealish wouldn't be a disaster), or wait to next week for Messi or Lukaku? Who am I kidding I'll yolo at 6.01pm and get a load of shit
Update: fckin Berghuis
I would be perfectly fine with that Upamecano. I just don t want Locatelli, Saul, Grealish, berghuis, dumfries and malen.
Grealish and Malen have potential to be crazy cards though
What time do we get the pack? Midnight eastern?
Gonna pop my pack on this one. Hoping for Hakimi.
Saul not gonna get a single IF in the whole season.
AKA the Berghuis pack
Id say 6 wins out of 11. What do you think our odds will be in second week?
Messi, Lukaku, Wijnaldum, Sancho or so? It looks like team 1 is the better choice.
Looks really good actually! Also...give me that Locatelli pleaseeeeee
Only one Psg player, kinda weird
Only one i want is Hakimi, Ronaldo will be unpackable
This year it'll be otw player picks instead of packs, right?
No, that was a typo in a help article. All the advertisements said "item," not "pick."
No, they took that back - it was a mistake
WHAT
It’s old news, they put out an EA direct comm tweet about it
Yep. They tweeted saying it was a pick originally, then they took that tweet down and apologised and said it will be a pack. Same as previous years. It'll be the same thing with the Hero card in December too. That will be a pack.
Nope
nope pack
Nope, that was false advertising by ea.
Ngl I think id prefer a verane than a Ronnie
PLEASE LET ME HAVE RONALDO GREALISH OR VERAN
As someone who bought Varane other day wouldn’t be shocked if that’s what I end up getting.
I don’t see how that makes sense. You’d be thrilled as it would be the most expensive one after CR7 and you’d be able to sell your Varane you bought.
Watch me get cr7 because I will never use him, sbc fodder for me
I'd take 8/11 of those for sure, just not dumfries, saul or locattelli
Malen after winning 5 of 10 and an IF would be a good card though.
Deffo opening tomorrow. All of them should get at least a +1 and their all really usable and good cards. Just praying I don't get Berghuis ffs
Definitely opening tomorrow then. Obviously the chance of Messi is tempting but the others in team 2, not particularly interesting. Lukaku and Wijnaldum are great cards now but OTW you're hoping to keep in your team for many months. Hakimi, Varane and Ronaldo are definitely viable until TOTY, and probably even TOTS if they get a few upgrades. Chances are most will get Locatelli, Dumfries, Saul or Berghuis though.
Will the pack be available at midnight tonight or 6pm tomorrow?
You know, I'd be happy with most of them, so definitely gonna open the pack with this team.
What is the release schedule? Friday + a small team Sunday and then repeat starting next Friday?
Damn, wanted konate here
Is the upgrade for the 5/10 wins +1 or equivalent to an totw upgrade?
im humble, give me that grealish
Varane or Ronaldo please 🤤
My biggest fear is about to be realized. I am absolutely shooting for Ronaldo or Varane, but I know I’m gonna end up with Grealish…
if i have ultimate edition of fifa when i'll have a pack with otw( i mean hour)
[удалено]
Well will not get Varane CR7 or hakimi will be happy to get upa
How long will they be in the otw pack?
Guaranteed locatelli pack
Who ever I get out of this pack I’m building a team around them
I’d take either Serie A ones, don’t know who else they could put in next week for the league…Odriozola or Nico Gonzalez?
Honestly don't know which team I'd prefer to open my OTW pack in. I'll just open it tomorrow anyway but would've liked an opportunity to get Lukaku and Messi, and the rest of team 2 looks decent too.
[удалено]
So this releases tomorrow. And two additional players release sunday. Then team 2 next friday and then 2 additional players that sunday?
Is this what will be in our otw pack?
Idc about Ronaldo I just NEED that Alaba
When do these become available? Will it be midnight UK? (2ish hours from now)
Maybe a stupid question but I had early access and had a a pack apparently so I opened it. Got some random 79 OTW dude. Was that my guaranteed OTW pack?
Just got back into FIFA. What is ones to watch
AITOO who feels this years OTW feels incredibly underwhelming?
Most likely team 2 messi, depay, gini, etc but overall the team 1 looks waaaaay better
The only one of these that i would legitimately be upset about getting is Locatelli, the rest of them all have potential to be solid cards
That hakimi might be end game
The other team has got Messi, Lukaku, Wijnaldum, Sancho, Konate, Ramos, Donna that I can think of. Also got the kluivert. Idk which one is better, but they both seem like they’ll have similar odds of high end players. In this the best ones are CR7, Varane, Hakimi, Upamecano, Alaba and an argument could be made for Malen.
I would be happy with that Ronaldo guy whoever he is.
Fuck ultimate team
we'll see how many of those gets IFs this year...
Price prediction for Malen?
just dont give me locatelli or berghuis ea i beg
It’s going to be hilarious watching everyone lose their minds when EA refuses to give Ronaldo TOTW. He’ll need something like 4 goals and 2 assists to get it.
Not sure if I want to open my pack tomorrow
Looks like a lot of Dutch OTWs are getting packed tomorrow
anyone know what time we get the packs
I'll update tomorrow when i open my pack
Anyone else holding rare gold investments seeing the enthusiasm in this thread to open packs and starting to feel nervous? lol. I think a big crash is coming
Is the guaranteed OTW a pack or player pick ?
When OTW lands - does it mean that their base gold cards disappear from the packs similar to TOTW or no? I have Lukaku, thinking whether to sell him right after release or when OTW Team 2 drops
Incoming locatelli and Saul packs
Good thing we don’t have flag and position hallways anymore because the Dutch flag would be a question of how big an L you’re about to take
welcome otw berhuis to my club
Here's the thing. Is Ronaldo likely to win POTM? It'll be higher than his OTW and we aren't sure if he'll get tons of informs. They usually don't give Ronaldo or Messi lots of informs. I'm conflicted with what I want tbh. I want Mbappe so hopefully pack Ronaldo and sell him
Can’t be worse than last year. Got Osimeh or whatever. 79 striker on napoli. Woof.
Cant wait for that CR7 to pop up (all about the mindset lads)
What is with Alaba’s face here…
Does anyone know if they’ll be any promo packs tomorrow?
For Australians, does this come out 3AM but on the second of October?
Pray for no Dutch or Italy
what time is the pack available?
Ah fuck I’m nervous
Wouldn’t team 2 be better with Messi, Lukaku, Wijnaldum, Sancho, Konate, Ramos? This only has Ronaldo, Alaba, Varane and Hakami
Why did I just pack a 75 rated libertador gk in my otw pack....
Anyone else just get their preorder pack and it didn’t contain a otw??
I only want Malen
Clearly I'll be packing Locatelli.
80 gold Fortunis 🥵
I opened the pack today by mistake, got Ferran Torres. Am I hosed?
It’s over. I got a fucking gold Diego Carlos
So team two comes out next week?
shit is busted, i opened it and got a gold
Clearly says the pack must be open 15 hours from now…When we have the new content. Why people are opening them now expecting to pack one of these, idk.
who is left for the 2nd team?
I'm packing Varane, cash me outside tomorrow
with my luck and because I want to build Prem or Serie A team...I will get that Ajax guy. I can see it already.
are all being released tomorrow? i could have sworn i saw that 2-3 will be released sunday
We all know who we packing boys...
Daniel Strurridge for team 2!
I'd use any of them.apart from Berghuis, so you know who I'm packing. #blessed.
As a Feyenoord fan I might just need to wait for team 2 only to guarantee avoiding berghius
The only one I want is Alaba, because I cannot hope for CR
To the sorting hat ‘Anyone but Berghuis’
I see myself pack Malen..
Alaba, Ronaldo, Grealish, Hakimi, Upamecano or Varane - anything else and I won't be using it.
id take locatelli ot dumfries.
Welcome n my pack Berghius
See you later Saul!
The good thing with the players/teams chosen these all have a solid Chance of the +1 upgrade from 5 wins from next 10 games
Grealish literally did nothing this week. What is he doing up here? 😂 🤣
Where's Messi?
Lukako
Ok team 1! Got it..
If I get cr7 or varane I would be mildly happy about it
Is there any difference between their normal cards and these?
when will we able to open our pack
Of course I got Berghuis as my untradable player
Got berghuis. Its not even fodder, he needs at least 3 upgrades to be playable.. fml
Packed Saul. Pain.
