see how he plays against low driven shots. for me it's been buffon and up until that 95 card came out I had toty Cassilas for the longest time. gk's man, they are way too inconsistent to judge tbf. some games they'll save your hole against better players who can attack better than you can defend. other times you'll lose a game off scuffed/slow shots that somehow the keeper dives over or even sometimes dives outside the frame of the goal completely on low drivers.
to be honest there are better options than mbappe for this evo... but the guys gold card was still putting minimum 1 goal a game for me in div 1 coming off the bench basically every game over players that have higher stats. for me, I'd say there's obviously a potential for future upgrades for his gold card now that this first evo has dropped where he is eligible... but any 94 rated mbappe with 3 ps+ is going to be INSANE.
great value. only issue is the ober saturation of fullbacks this year is next level. few years ago this card would be in everyone's team
definately. but he's still going to be expensive for a card with only 1ps+. I'm expecting him to half in price, whilst his tots (if he gets one) will probably sit around 1.8-2.5
to be fair this is a crazy card. would go for 2 mil+ on the market considering 4 ps+...
guler in the gulag
erling is mooaaaaning!
keep for an evo.
only 76 penalties? it's like EA think he's missed 4 of his last 13 or something...
I use 5 star skills. but who cares if not everyone does. this card isn't that effected by it because of how well positioned it is, how rapid and good on the back he feels in general build up & overall has outshined r9 in goals to games for me by far. averaging basically a hattrick in every game I play with him even against players who are really good at defending.
hear me out. toty henry felt better than the r9 ww for me. I have untradable henry and tried ww r9 on loan for 20 games. henry actually feels insane this year. this card > r9s card in the same promo? I think it may be the case also.
considering we're basically in April in a couple of days. the fact it's been 4 months and they are basically only giving fede +1s for the most part without any major upgrades in the playstyles is a massive L
even with all these upgrades... how Kaka of all people can't crack 94+ pace is crazy. in his prime he was RAPID. anyone who watched him play during his best knows that he was practically impossible to catch, especially with the ball at his feet.
to be fair, I like the cards. it's the pack weight that's ruined it as a promo.
honestly. I feel glad he's doing well. that being said, it's not like he's the solution to our striker situation. he was ageing and losing alot of his pace. just because he looks to have a nice inform card in game doesn't mean he's the solution to becoming our target striker. that being said, I always respected him as a player and as our captain and think he deserves success until he hangs up his boots. good to see him doing well
finally a ben white special card!
I got him from that 91+ pack with coins and he wasn't either one of my walkouts. just casually chiling in the pack. crazy card!
this guy could easily have 88 pace on his gold card if EA bothered to watch him actually play. the guy has certain moments where he bursts through and outpaces the whole backline. it's why they wait to sub him on when he plays for Argentina. wait for defence to tire, and bring on lautaro to deceive them all and showcase his pace when he latches onto a through ball. why EA refuse to give this guy pace on par with other forwards is beyond me.
he now officially has more special cards this year than last year which is crazy because I swear the bloke was popping up all over the show last year throughout the bayern undefeated run
for anyone who saved lots of fodder and thought it would be enough... at least the sbc is there for a while for you to do the same grind 3 times over for him if you're that much in need of this card.
because he's still the best cdm in the game. he literally does more than any other dm in the game despite not having those valuable playstyles.
given how many box to box/dm players there are, unless you're just a fancof essien this is just overpriced. literally evos that are taking some cards beyond gullit gang and near 9golan levels of cracked already. 1+mil of fodder for a card with 6 playstyles given what is available to us already is kind of an l. bur a w for any chelsea fans who want to use him I guess
if this card was an sbc it would he 500k+ of fodder because of the pace boost. this evo is a massive W. anyone complaining about it need to realise this game is about using these sorts of players that get the maximum upgrades over just trying to chain evo a ratty player
people can hate, but man will have set his entire family and others out by the time he is 24/25 and can still come back to Europe and have a good career if everything works out. I won't hate, because I would be trying to make as much as I possibly could if I was a gifted footballer like him too.
exactly this man. anyone complaining either is new to fc or they need to rewind the clock and realise that getting bellingham/zidane/maradonna FOR FREE in ppls teams was basically an impossible imagination back in the day. this content is a W, anyone that disagrees is either a kid or has no concept on how bad free content has been compared to this year.
love him. Aussie icon. in game but, the second ps+ being aerial given that he's only 5ft 10 doesn't really feel like it will have any effect when most players are using 6ft 2+ defender's
cdm and it goes double the price for sure. actually not a bad 'budget' card.. icon links for whole team, under 100k, 2 ps+ and overall pretty decent box to box stats.
just packed him, wasn't sure what the flares/ side panels were for icons so I thought it was maradonna for a second but a massive W. well deserved card.
guys, forgive me. I was 6 beers deep and thought I was being smart using play on words between her surnames. looking back, was a terrible idea posting. normally I'm more level headed with my comments but this one was straight outta pocket. definately cringe worthy by my standards, apologies to all. disregard the original comment.
curious. have they updated the commentary to from Smith to Wilson aswell in game? will be quite unique seeing Wilson getting called Smith. she may as well be known as Will Smith at this point. The Woman in Black haha. doubt that will catch on
pretty sure he did this last year aswell. Man is like 21 years old and already has like 6 potm awards all up its kind of insane
this ain't it. love the card, behind the powercurve with the midfielders on offer at this stage, so a 100-200k at most of fodder would be considered reasonable for people who liked him irl... but if you've got this much fodder, you may as well go and do pirlo who is way better
renato Sanches for Swansea... that debut basically plummeted his whole stock and potential. I vividly remember him passing the ball to the side stands and then getting subbed off and I was just in awe. heard tonnes about him being from bayern and then just like that I have hardly seen him since.
when his evo is leaked. he will hit the Max price of 47500 and then sky-rocket to about 150k plus because it's saka. especially now that they are dropping 2 playstyle plus evos. Man has no evos on this card so will get the full evo upgrade when it comes
Amad has been great, I commented on this card specifically because it's only about skelly? it has nothing to do with Amad or a different team. it's not glazing either. Amad is a forward and is more likely to score goals. they're playing this guy as a full back and hes showing his potential all over the pitch against city at 18 years old
mans gonna have a gold card next year. going to be a huge upgrade. performances like that against city, despite their current poor form still shows how quality this lad is at his age to be tearing apart a team of that magnitude. what an insane performance
free 89 bellingham still clears this. Man has got the hidden coverstar trait and is a monster in the midfield. love Petri, underrated by many in real life. but in game I'm not spending 300k of fodder after ea have given us a free bellingham and zidane in everyone's teams
I've had his base since the first icon sbc came out.. I'll just do this upgrade for the sake of it, because I don't quite have the fodder for his toty. but his toty look so much better than this, wasn't expecting the evo to be on par with his toty, but was hoping for better than this
Norway my man. but I feel your pain. I think most of us have been there thinking we've packed haaland until we realise it's Hegerberg
only +1s on face stats and arguably worse playstyles for haaland, but this currently sits 1 mil more expensive. unfortunately I didn't get the ww glitch pack for his 94 so I can't comment but I would assume rapid+ and press proven+ would work super well for a player like him given that he is 6ft 5 in game and an absolute unit... power shot plus is no longer the meta as all shooting seems to be super good in the new patch, so I'd just get the 94 rather than lose an extra 1 mil for no reason
tbh. should be his base card. he clears all other English midfielders as a complete box to box. he could do it all, and he won it all with chelsea... might be way to generous and needs a few stats deducted like maybe only 84 defending and dribbling, but Imo... how he doesn't have 90 shooting from the outrageous goals I saw him have is beyond me
this card is wasted at cb, but the fact he has role++ as a cdm with his allcround stats makes him super usable. not the tallest player so he won't stand out massively but again, putting him at cb will not let you have the full experience this card can offer.
I'm sure she's a great cam... but I feel like most people will use her at cm and the combo of the defending stats is really lacklustre. obviously her stats are insane. but I don't think nearly 8 mil will be a price point for long... again. I don't have her so I don't know how good in game she is, but I just feel there are better options for a complete package for both cam and cm
I sat in silence with a smile. never packed any Toty/toty icon since fifa 13 (and toty icons since like a couple years ago) what a player to pull as my first one. never had a card of this calibre before futties and I have a good 6 months where this card will be META before futties. so looking forward to playing this game now with this guy in the new patch
best free card/evo. a 94 zidane with those stats and they kept the 5* combo. seriously, as much hate as EA are getting. this new patch, plus them giving out players like that bellingham who can play an incredible box to box role, wouldn't be surprised if EA end up handing out a free mbappe by the end of the year at this rate. rare EA W, but this is arguably one of their biggest W's. just think of the casuals guys, 95% of players have never had a top icon at this stage of the game. everyone gets to enjoy so there's no harm/ disadvantage for anyone
this is the one. kind of flying under the radar for alot of people, but he is super fast in game. with the upgrade (I have done him), im playing him as a st with advanced forward role and he is literally smoking the backlines I'm playing. I'm div 2, currently have 13 games with him after upgrade, 17 goals, 11 assists. man's playstyles make him feel like messi on the ball it's insane.
no technical, trivela or finesse trait really just makes this card not it. get he's a striker, but if you play him on the wing that low passing will also not be ideal. for me, there's better options out there and from memory future stars is the promo after tots/hon mentions. no doubt he will have the best future stars card this year so just hold out for another evo for this guy
great card. however, I'm saving to see if he gets 12th man
I dont wanna be rude brother, but you might want to just bump the difficulty down. the ultimate and legendary difficulties run on scripts built from the pro scene to simulate a similar experience with how pros play. I get there is some unlucky scenarios but those 2 difficulties really showcase just a taste of how hard it is to play an actual pro
without question, this is the best free card of all time. anyone complaining needs go take a step back and ask the question to themselves 'if you told me a few years ago that EA would give us a free 94 zidane in JANUARY, people would of never of believed it. I get that it's a different era of fifa... but the evo'd version of this card will be there all the way past tots into futties imo.
underrated baller.
gold vvd is good... but compared to the last 2 years he's not as OP. there's a reason he's in the 30k range this year when the last few years he was still above 100k. this konate card has every stat you want in a cb with good playstyles and he has height. so unless you're talking UCL vvd... this card clears
problem is- there is that evo to go to a 91 with 2ps+ and also cards out that putperform this card already. not saying it's a bad option if you want to use him ingame. but realistically most of the players grinding the season passes probsbly have options better than him right now
raphinha gold card EAFC26 IF he keeps the form the whole way through the season:
given the fact his thunderstruck is like 3-4mil and you can get this if you chained correctly... I'd say this is a huge W
he was good... but it was more the potential he had to be great IF he had stayed. he chose the money and you can't blame him, we always hate on players for taking the cash but at the end of the day Oscar cashed in on himself at the right time for the right price... anything could have happened to his career trajectory staying in the premier league and the truth is he wasn't consistent enough at top level from what I saw so the move to China made sense to me.
EA just release cards however they feel man. half the team just adjust the stats in game without any real rhyme or reason. they are just told certain criteria with set upgrades for certain players. half of them don't even watch football irl, so its not surprising that a card like this can't even play CAM, let alone have his best role suited in the CAM position.
how can you go from Cruyff who will fit into many evos in a short while, to this sbc for the same price? how do they configure why some players release at a high asking squad value compared to others who seemingly get a good value when it comes to squad requirements in SBCS. they need to just make it one person's job (the good guy) to manage sbcs. there's no sense or consistency in how they release some of these cards
to be fair... man should be an 89 rated gold card. but these stats at this stage of fifa is filthy. a card like this back a few years ago wouldve been 10mil plus tradable, now lots of defenders get mad pace boosts
saka- been on top form and consistent for 3 years. EA: gives foden a +3 and saka a +1 in the same promo. makes no sense. I'm guessing foden got a bigger upgrade because they expect saka to get more special cards over the year? I swear some upgrades are crazy and then some are hardly an upgrade.
if man holds his current form the whole way through the season, this should be similar to his base card next year... man's been a machine for bayern
it might be alot of -4, -5 from his base card... but his base card is also 5mil tradable. 1mil of coins of fodder whe. most people probably that play have enough fodder to already craft alot of the squads... and it's Cruyff. in game. he will have that hidden trait that all the top players get where they feel super responsive. a Cruyff for 1 mil, where likely he will fit into evos later down the track.. people are sleeping on this sbc in my eyes
because EA cooked the game by throwing away too many packs in the first season to beef up ppls teams, then realised it was a mistake and nerved season 2 rewards but as a result alot of the playerbase stopped playing and now they want the players to come back so they released all this.
I get that they can't boost the ratings too high to early, but it's really gonna take a serious ronaldo/messi flashback with really good value to bring this game back up on the player count... because the content is just dead man, not bad cards per say... just really poor gameplay experience and cards no one really wants to use.
this is a 30k card if it wasn't ronaldo. he's not that good in game this year. I get the appeal because he's one of the GOATS, but I ain't paying 300k+ for an attacker with 80 pace when defender's are already running around with 90+ in November.
had no idea why he's popular and then I saw 6ft9... holy, this card will cause PROBLEMS in rush.
basically curtis Jones gold card under Arne slot this season. man's upped his game big time. him & graven have made that midfield a complete package irl this season.
I don't know about this one, let's see what Geoff from the sideline has to say about this...
bro thank god the new COD is actually really enjoyable (minus some absolute sweats). it's given me an alternative to play so I'm not pulling my brains out playing this game. another year where the honeymoon phase has worn out and we once again hate the game.
give it until champs rewards and there's much more of him on the market. I'd say he will drop to 500k or below relatively quickly but imo that's still more than I'm willing to invest given that literally in a week or two a new promo card will have better capabilities in my starting XI. baller irl. but if I want him I'll stick to his potm for cheap
a fun card to use for sure but in game he's not SUPER OP and the in game stats are kind of underwhelming when you compare this card to other 1mil cards you could get if you had coins. I doubt he turns into Prime maradonna compared to his potm, the upgrade ain't that big.
this guy has been better than saliba for us this season. that being said, they are both world class and by far arsenal has the best cb duo in the league for me. Van Dijk and Konate are a good second but what saliba and gabriel offer both defensively and also from set piece play is other worldly.
this guys got better stats than 90% of the icons you can pack from the new sbc. don't waste your fodder for the sake of easy chemistry on icons you won't even use when you have cards like this as much better alternatives. this is a W and the icon pack is an IQ test.
finally, the year has arrived for usable pires. every year he's felt clunky. last year with his finesse plus I had a good time with his card, but now with the ++ role he's finally on par with actual TOP options. you know he's good when half the major pros have this weapon in their teams.
this guy deserved to get his 85 rating back in my opinion. might not put up the numbers of other strikers, but his involvement on the pitch contributing to arsenal winning is undeniable now.
this card about 5 years ago wouldve been about 1mil+ on launch day. irl he's rapid so the stats are kind of justified if not even underselling his pace but a card like this was even rare to see come tots time a few years back. the moment this guy gets a card with 90+ pace and 90+ defending he's instantly in people's teams for the whole year.
well.. at least his player of the month should be relatively cheap judging by this card. seems like they really want to leave lots of room for improvement on palmer's stats because of how likely they think he will get many special cards, especially when you look at how small the upgrade is
how this card is under 100k with the game just out and this upgrade on offer to boost the card even further is beyond me. he has both rapid and quick step which is like the wombo combo of cheese in game. this type of card can take an average player into higher divisions solely off the fact that no card can catch him at this stage
