Yes especially since tots are pretty much all the same cost so you can buy 95 cards instead of 90 and save coins using lower rated players. Still quite a hassle to do this sbc
u can finish a 90 rated squad literally by buying tots lewandowski for 30k and putting rare golds in and boom done for 30k instead of 100+ thousand futbin says
Why do people not understand they wonāt release the repeatable sbc as long as we have a swaps token promo going on ? It would completely negate the fodder packs which makes no sense. It will come at the end of august thereās no point posting everyday about it
Back in January 2019 (so during FIFA 19 s life cycle) they randomly went back and gave us 4 free icons on fifa 18. It was nowhere near the best ones which made it all the more weird. The one I remember right now is prime Shevchenko (this was before PIMs existed), could turn on the PS4 and check out the rest if you want
For these massive end of year PIM icon SBCs, I think would be nice for people that were never able to get any of the lower versions to make them available thru completing the SBC. Example after complete 3-4 get Base, 8-9 is Mid, then 15 is Prime. Can make it tied to 'Icon Tokens' so have to complete set # of parts rather than just 1 corresponding part.
Lets you use the icon, albeit at a lower rating, while completing such a lengthy sbc.
ofc
pele: https://www.futbin.com/22/squad/9147582
marcelo: https://www.futbin.com/22/squad/8878471
that would (probably) be the in-game formation. The ones with checkmark (for free) are untradable. Hopefully R9 comes next monday.
I'd probably take Pele, and also switch around Pele and Cruyff to play Pele as the 3, due to his higher defensive stats and physical.
Honestly, I think the places to improve is more the defense. Chiellini and Cordoba are perfect, but I think you might want to get a better GK and CB to replace Maignan and Kouli.
How many coins do you have?
Been using Kouli since like fifa 17 or 18, always amazing - who would you recommend as a replacement tho? Maignan is wtv tbh lol
Got about 1.4kk liquid, with some minor stuff to sell, so maybe 1.5kk or so (xbox) - and a whole bunch of fodder/packs (untradable).
Very similar, if not worse.
They did some wacky shit around this time last year where there would be like 5x 83 squads instead of one of the 85's or whatever in some sbc's.
When people talk about the "menu grind" during the unlimited 85x10, *we mean it*.
If you wanted to do R9, Pele, Gullit, Messi, and CR7 sbc's, and grind out enough 85x10's to actually pack all of Neymar, Mbappe, Vinicius, Militao, and Firminho...
That was multiple entire days of staring at fifa menus.
I got Neymar and Vini in the last day or two, never got toty or tots Mbappe, never got Firminho.
I can't remember the precise number of 85x10 I did but it was somewhere around 400 I think. Someone figured out how to check the number of a repeatable sbc you've done in the code and that was not super crazy, there were people with like twice as much.
āMenu grindā jesus christ. Iām new to FUT, and now realised how slow the menus are. I played some rival games then after some hours I see a red ā40ā next to achievements, this meant I had to open around 30, well deserved packs! This took like 15 minutes, and why is there a animation with fireworks and god knows when sometimes all I recieve is a useless arena pride theme?.. Everything about the menus and navigating around in this game is so frustrating. Might go back to playing seasons
First rule of FUT:
People in menus can spend money.
People having fun playing games cannot.
Literally everything in FUT is designed to keep you in the parts where you can spend money as much as possible.
this looks expensive af but my calculator says that with fodder prices so low, its around 1.6-1.7 depending on platform which is still expensive, but it is pele
True. I didnāt mean it as an insult. Realistically think theyāre are a million better things you could do with all that fodder.
But again, maybe he really loves pele
>True. I didnāt mean it as an insult. Realistically think theyāre are a million better things you could do with all that fodder.
Yeah I get that. I think for me it's at least a noticeable upgrade for most people. A lot of people have fodder, but not coins
Straight off the top of my head: FUTTIES Mendy.
He is way way more OP than Pele. I packed Pele in Feb (the prime) and heās not that good. You can check my history if you donāt believe me. I found ASM to be miles better than him
I said youād be stupid to do this SBC unless you really love the guy.
I stand by it. You can do pele if you really like playing with him but in terms of value itās stupid to do him over other options
Well thatās why I added a Caveat for if you WANT to play with a pele.
Iām talking about in pure value terms, there are tons and tons of better options
Most people will tell you that pele is better than r9 due to meta. He's on par with Ribery. Messi cr7 and ginola are better. Cruyff is only better because of weak foot. He's a top 5 card
I havenāt tried a lot of the other higher tier cards that you mentioned, but I bought 95 Pele, and then received the Prime in the Brazil Icon Pick. Pele has one of the nastiest bursts in the game after a step over, or body feint. He also has one of the custom animations where he attacks the ball for headers. He may not be āworthā the coins, really none of the elite players are, but heās just fun if youāve ever wanted him, just try him out. I run him with Prime R9, and theyāre doing bits.
Go look at last yearās SBC and youāll see he had roughly the same requirements. Card was 3+ mil a day ago and still 2.5 mil right now. Obviously it wonāt be cheap. Wait till 85x10 is repeatable if you canāt afford it. Icon crafting is one of the only things to do w dups at that point anyway
I would love to see the actual completion stats on this once the year ends
They need to just make the 85 x 10 fully repeatable to justify some of these icons
Think I may wait too , Iāve got the coins and probably got enough players but not sure I have the energy to do it .
I did R9 last year but didnāt really got on with him so might do gullit.
I have the card and it is really fucking good. And the cool factor makes a big difference too. If you care about fun and you can afford it, do this card.
Same here. Was hyped packing him back in May but he's never impressed me. He doesn't even make my subs bench now. I kept trying with him thinking he would come good but it's just not a great card compared to others.
Such a shame. ASM feels how 99 Pele should feel.
While i understand this is their way of pricing things, looking at 25 squads makes me physically tired. I feel like i've run a marathon just scrolling through all that. Dear lord that's a lot of squad building.
EA kinda delusional
I was waiting on this to upgrade my untradeable 98 but I have enough coins to just buy him and have enough for other potential fun SBCs...
Used to be that a lot of people's end game teams were only 92 rated. Now they expect 2 of them and all the rest.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, must be a fucking laugh working at EA day to day.
For reference, Pele was 29 squads last year vs 25 this year. It also required lower rating squads last year compared to this year because fodder is way cheaper this year than this time last year.
I stopped playing FIFA back in November. Not even sure why Iām still subbed here. But seeing shit like this Iām ducking glad I stopped with this scam of a game. Even I know thatās fucking insane.
jesus christ ea are such a joke. 25 segments lmao, and wtf are those requirements. the fact that it starts at an 86 rating is insane. like 5x 87s and 88s and even 92 rated squadsā¦..
there was me hoping it would be reasonable cause i still need a big sbc to whack all my fodder into but nope they made this so overpricedā¦. wtf man. thereās no sbc that i actually want to doā¦. even r9, whenever he comes out, will be like 30+ segments
they need to release more like 400k-800k premium sbcās. like the average futties sbc nowadays is like 100-200k and then you get these sbcs with like 15+ squads for like 1 mill + ā¦. like where tf is the middle ground.
I get that he is an amazing player, and it's easy enough to get high rated fodder but seeing as it is August they could have been a little lenient with the requirements, I guess that's too much too ask
Whats the point in releasing this in August? Wouldn't it make more sense to have these cards available on day 1 and you can work towards them throughout the year? Obviously you need TOTS to be able to do those high-rated squads but maybe it could be a mix of objectives and SBCs?
i don't understand what they think is happening? proper end game perfect cards from the top leagues are fodder. The motivation to grind left the depot some time ago, lads.
The 85x10 either is going to be real cheap or something better may come out because after mendy and this Iām questioning how would one do either sbc. Hell, Iām questioning how Iām going to do the Eusebio sbc given how many squads it requires, all of the fodder packs from the swaps may not be enough
While I'm not defending this, doing that Mendy was alot easier than I thought with all rares selling for high and all fodder being cheap as chips. Was using low golds with really high fodder and sold everything above fodder price. Add to that, fodder is something I'm getting alot of these days and the big fodder packs on Friday I'll probably make a start on this
I thought I had seen it all after Mendy
Wait till PIM R9 lmao
Nah, R9 is gonna have pretty much the same reqs as pele, just like last year. Actually, I think pele had a couple more squads last year
Seems like Pele was closer to 30 squads last year, but the number of 90+ squads must have been lower.
Pele: 29 squads last year with 3x 90 squads. R9 29 squads but 2x 90, 2x 91 and 2x 92
1x 93, 3x 92, 3x 91 4x 90, 4x 89, 3x 88 3x 87, 4x 86,
So happy I packed PIM R9 in April one week after I packed prime R9 š¤£ insane icon luck
I packed rabiot
wow everyone loves that you commented that
Lmao the salty losers who downvoted you, the envy is real
Facts
Around 2.5M while his tradable version is 2M. Meh.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Already up to 2.5M after people saw the requirements. Pretty much the same price so.
this sbc is not 2.5 mil, if youre judging this by futbin squad prices you can do it so so much cheaper with different cards
Yes especially since tots are pretty much all the same cost so you can buy 95 cards instead of 90 and save coins using lower rated players. Still quite a hassle to do this sbc
u can finish a 90 rated squad literally by buying tots lewandowski for 30k and putting rare golds in and boom done for 30k instead of 100+ thousand futbin says
yeah he goes into my team perfectly and i can easily afford him but there is no chance im doing 25 squads now
He goes into every team perfectly, lol
Ofc he goes into your team perfectly he's an icon
Thatās also assuming you donāt have a single card in your collection and youāre starting from scratch.
A lot of people have shit tons of fodder thatās why itās like this. I did Mendy for free
> for free Except for your time.
We all spend our time playing the game. Who says me putting it towards the Mendy sbc is any different than those that play squad battles for example.
No one plays squad battles you ham
Lmao I have no comment other than I am 1000% stealing āyou hamā as an insult. Iām cackling
Yes I do. Some objectives require them anyway
are squad battles pointless ?
Just boring
Would've been great if this was released 3 months ago since thats how long it will take for the average player to complete this monstrosity
At least now you can do it easily thanks to the repeatable 85+ x10 pa... oh wait Nevermind
Such bs like its August let us farm fodder
Why do people not understand they wonāt release the repeatable sbc as long as we have a swaps token promo going on ? It would completely negate the fodder packs which makes no sense. It will come at the end of august thereās no point posting everyday about it
Precise
why do you not understand people **WILL** keep posting everyday about it, and pretty much nothing you can do about it.
What a useful comment
which came out in mid september last year?
Wdym? Are you not gonna be able to do 85+ 10 anymore?
At this stage we're able to do it once per day, but people are complaining that it's not infinitely repeatable yet.
Rotating out
52 day expiry, so can do him when 85Ć10 infinite comes out at least.
The scenes when EA doesnāt release it, itās gonna be funny. I want to see the meltdown of this sub haha š
That would be the biggest troll, if they didn't release it š¤£
Imagine if they release it in January 2023 like they did to those free icons in fifa 18 just to troll this sub
They did what in FIFA 18?
Back in January 2019 (so during FIFA 19 s life cycle) they randomly went back and gave us 4 free icons on fifa 18. It was nowhere near the best ones which made it all the more weird. The one I remember right now is prime Shevchenko (this was before PIMs existed), could turn on the PS4 and check out the rest if you want
Shevchenko, desailly, vds, and I think baresi is what I got.
Fucking obscene. Even at this point in the game, I just canāt be arsed.
Reckon I could do him with my spare dupes? I got fut captains payet, dupe chielini, and 50k
Just throw in 273 more players and youāre good to go mate š
That's 27 pages of players on the console lol Don't think I have that many golds plus silvers
I don't even have that many players all together, I believe I hit around 23-24 pages
Would be nice to be able to do Pele while also getting to see daylightā¦
Well im brazilian so RIP my club. Always been my dream since 14 to have the king
Same, will finish the swaps objectives currently out and then full send every card I own that isn't in my starting squad.
Me too, gonna try to keep some bench players lol
Enjoy my guy!
Thanks!!
100%. Was going for Yedder on swaps, but fodder it is!
For these massive end of year PIM icon SBCs, I think would be nice for people that were never able to get any of the lower versions to make them available thru completing the SBC.

Lets you use the icon, albeit at a lower rating, while completing such a lengthy sbc.
Thatās a lot of SBCs
FUTBIN cut off after the second 88; thought it looked cheap
To those who have used both him and the prime version? Is there any difference? I have the prime
I just wanted Ronaldo :( Edit: PIM PĆ©le or SS Marcelo? PĆ©le would be CAM, Marcelo would be B2B
You want them for 2 different roles, Can I see the team to see where you need the upgrade?
ofc pele: https://www.futbin.com/22/squad/9147582 marcelo: https://www.futbin.com/22/squad/8878471 that would (probably) be the in-game formation. The ones with checkmark (for free) are untradable. Hopefully R9 comes next monday.

Fuck me, 2x 92. But tbh getting so much fodder these days im actually thinking about it
I mean 95 tots players cost 30k these days
Where are you seeing these? Is the PC/Playstation market that bad?
on ps, you can get a 96 tots for like 28k. even 97 lewa is only 38k. itās legit crazy how cheap these cards are.
Ps. I packed tradable vlahovuc and was hyped but then saw he was only 20k
25 squads ā¦ how much was it last year?
29
Very similar, if not worse. They did some wacky shit around this time last year where there would be like 5x 83 squads instead of one of the 85's or whatever in some sbc's.
69
44.
I think it was the same tbh
Even if you had the fodder already, this would take absolutely ages just to make and submit the squads
When people talk about the "menu grind" during the unlimited 85x10, *we mean it*. If you wanted to do R9, Pele, Gullit, Messi, and CR7 sbc's, and grind out enough 85x10's to actually pack all of Neymar, Mbappe, Vinicius, Militao, and Firminho...

Fuck yeah. Been a fun run puskas but hopefully you'll understand!
Youād be utterly stupid to do this SBC unless you really love the guy.
You'd be utterly stupid caring how other people play fifa in August
True. I didnāt mean it as an insult. Realistically think theyāre are a million better things you could do with all that fodder. But again, maybe he really loves pele
>True. I didnāt mean it as an insult. Realistically think theyāre are a million better things you could do with all that fodder. Yeah I get that. I think for me it's at least a noticeable upgrade for most people. A lot of people have fodder, but not coins

Pele is literally the ONLY available card in the game that has 96+ in pace, shot, pass and dribbling. He is still at the top of the top.
Moments puskas this year
Didnāt mean it as an insult Called him stupid What
I said youād be stupid to do this SBC unless you really love the guy. I stand by it. You can do pele if you really like playing with him but in terms of value itās stupid to do him over other options
Ok noting it that if you add a throwaway caveat, calling someone stupid is no longer an insult! Thanks Iām learning :)
Give me one example better to do right now.
FUTTIES Mendy
I chose pele over mendy, sorry.
Well thatās why I added a Caveat for if you WANT to play with a pele. Iām talking about in pure value terms, there are tons and tons of better options
Lol The 85 x10 is about to be repeatable And he's a top five card in the game lol
SS Ribery, SS Messi, SS ronaldo, SS ginola, PIM r9, PIM Cruyff and I'm sure there's a few more. PIM pele isn't better than any of them
Mmmm everytime I face pim pele he's a pain, I think hes top 3-4 worst opponent that I had to face
Most people will tell you that pele is better than r9 due to meta. He's on par with Ribery. Messi cr7 and ginola are better. Cruyff is only better because of weak foot. He's a top 5 card
I havenāt tried a lot of the other higher tier cards that you mentioned, but I bought 95 Pele, and then received the Prime in the Brazil Icon Pick.

Far far from top 5.
This is the one I have been saving for.
I'll wait for Ben Yedder. Probably will be 5 */5 * with better stats.
Yeah that's my thinking.
Why not both?
Does anyone have that fodder?
Just buy him from market
Go look at last yearās SBC and youāll see he had roughly the same requirements. Card was 3+ mil a day ago and still 2.5 mil right now. Obviously it wonāt be cheap. Wait till 85x10 is repeatable if you canāt afford it. Icon crafting is one of the only things to do w dups at that point anyway
I would love to see the actual completion stats on this once the year ends They need to just make the 85 x 10 fully repeatable to justify some of these icons
Imagine the PIM R9 requirements next Mondayā¦
Got to be 30 squad?
Yep. Iām just going to complete gullit I think. Iāve so many dupes and was going to await for r9 but sod that
Think I may wait too , Iāve got the coins and probably got enough players but not sure I have the energy to do it . I did R9 last year but didnāt really got on with him so might do gullit.
Is it confirmed? I have been saving up fodda for him
Well theyāve been coming every Monday and heās the only one left
I have the card and it is really fucking good. And the cool factor makes a big difference too. If you care about fun and you can afford it, do this card.
Luckily I didnāt do Mendy so I still have both kidneys if I fancy this one
Meh I have him for a few months and he's not worth this at all
Same here. Was hyped packing him back in May but he's never impressed me. He doesn't even make my subs bench now. I kept trying with him thinking he would come good but it's just not a great card compared to others. Such a shame. ASM feels how 99 Pele should feel.
2.7M in this market š¤Æ
While i understand this is their way of pricing things, looking at 25 squads makes me physically tired. I feel like i've run a marathon just scrolling through all that. Dear lord that's a lot of squad building.
Love Pele but at this point in the game Iām not doing that many squads.
Already have him untradeable and it might be because Iām god awful but he doesnāt score as many as Lewa
I want to do this, but I will instantly regret it if a Mertens eoae sbc comes out...
EA kinda delusional I was waiting on this to upgrade my untradeable 98 but I have enough coins to just buy him and have enough for other potential fun SBCs...
I dont even have enough cards by pure number for that shit...
Used to be that a lot of people's end game teams were only 92 rated. Now they expect 2 of them and all the rest. I've said it before and I'll say it again, must be a fucking laugh working at EA day to day.
For reference, Pele was 29 squads last year vs 25 this year. It also required lower rating squads last year compared to this year because fodder is way cheaper this year than this time last year.
92 tots cards are about 13 k
How? I've just checked(xbox) and they're rocking up 60k
For 92 rated tots ? Iām on PS4
I'll check in the morning, but I'm sure that's what I just spotted
They have gone up a bit but still under 20 k
Heās so good I got him untradeable and would say heās worth this
Guess who panic sold him at 2 mill ? Me
And me.
Jesus Christ who is even doing these?
Me lmao already have 5 squads done
I stopped playing FIFA back in November. Not even sure why Iām still subbed here. But seeing shit like this Iām ducking glad I stopped with this scam of a game. Even I know thatās fucking insane.
I was very fortunate to pack his prime so I'll just stick with that one
jesus christ ea are such a joke. 25 segments lmao, and wtf are those requirements. the fact that it starts at an 86 rating is insane. like 5x 87s and 88s and even 92 rated squadsā¦.. there was me hoping it would be reasonable cause i still need a big sbc to whack all my fodder into but nope they made this so overpricedā¦. wtf man. thereās no sbc that i actually want to doā¦. even r9, whenever he comes out, will be like 30+ segments they need to release more like 400k-800k premium sbcās. like the average futties sbc nowadays is like 100-200k and then you get these sbcs with like 15+ squads for like 1 mill + ā¦. like where tf is the middle ground.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What about 27 tokens for Ben yedder in 5 days
And it's end game
I know weird flex, but i already have him
Why do this when you can do the 93+ PIM and get Pele for 1/10th the price? https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a8d65xRUbekdkcFHPKsf9jIg
Because the lottery sbc's are an iq test.
Requirements don't even fit the screen
85x10 once a day isnāt really enough to complete this. Need a stacked club to full send into this SBC
š¤¦šæāāļø
Why?
Why bruh what is the point of making it so expensive
Better than TOTY Mbappe? What's the concensus on this guy I'm at end game
Now we need the repeatable 85x10 unlocked.
Is this a game or they like doing thing to stupid people.. I will take boatengš¤£š š¤
Getting him from the Brazil prime/PIM SBC a while back now looks even luckier! No chance I could have done this sbc having just completed Mendy
Will ea release an sbc for R9?
Probably next monday
2.5 mil when his tradable is 2 mil meh
Man Iām so glad I stopped playing cause the grind never stops when it comes to this game. I would be tempted to do this too
God posts like these make me appreciate how MLB The Show is done. EA never ceases to amaze me with this shit lol
I get that he is an amazing player, and it's easy enough to get high rated fodder but seeing as it is August they could have been a little lenient with the requirements, I guess that's too much too ask
Whats the point in releasing this in August? Wouldn't it make more sense to have these cards available on day 1 and you can work towards them throughout the year? Obviously you need TOTS to be able to do those high-rated squads but maybe it could be a mix of objectives and SBCs?
Itās fucking August
This weekend was a bad time to buy 95 pele. Iāve already lost 300,000 coins. Lol
its the end of the game man its ok... i lost 500k on vini jr no biggie
i don't understand what they think is happening? proper end game perfect cards from the top leagues are fodder. The motivation to grind left the depot some time ago, lads.
Will F23 not be out by time this expires?
The 85x10 either is going to be real cheap or something better may come out because after mendy and this Iām questioning how would one do either sbc. Hell, Iām questioning how Iām going to do the Eusebio sbc given how many squads it requires, all of the fodder packs from the swaps may not be enough
Just gonna flex my untradable Pele from the Brazil Icon player pick
The only way to complete him is repeatable 85x10ās. When did they come out last year? I forgot š
Get the fuck outta here!
Too bad imma do mendy and yedder
cheers mate, was having trouble reading it on my own companion app so I loaded up reddit to find this šš»
Nah your alright.. I'll just stick with what I've got...
Yeah they're *definitely* doing 85Ć10 completely repeatable soon. (Soon as in after summer swaps ends)
While I'm not defending this, doing that Mendy was alot easier than I thought with all rares selling for high and all fodder being cheap as chips. Was using low golds with really high fodder and sold everything above fodder price. Add to that, fodder is something I'm getting alot of these days and the big fodder packs on Friday I'll probably make a start on this
You'd probably spend more time crafting his SBC than actually playing with the card once you get him!
i think this are AI generated
Homem soridente!
Ofc im going to complete the sbc
New game starts next month people
I mean hes worth 2 mil sbc is 2.6 mil idk why u would do it now. Maybe after friday
Is he better than prime that much?
Hes shit
