If anyone is renewing PS+ membership to play EAFC (might choose not too!) this might help. Instead of going through PSN store try launching Ultimate Team it will then give you prompt to get PSN membership. It will take you through to landing page with PSN membership + free fifa 1050 FIFA points. Try to make it cheaper with reduced PSN gift cards. Obviously not much and will pack utter rubbish but might be with anyone looking to renew membership over the next few months. Good luck with the grind!

They should've incentivised doing the SBC prior to game etc. If you did him before etc an extra playstyle, or something to reward the players who did him before the final game.

EOAE was absolute legend last year clocking in over 1000 games.

If this is an SBC I'm in!

The joys of WL.

As soon as kick off you just know that whatever you do or how well you are playing the game is going to be hard work, random deflections, ball constantly hitting the post and bar, red cards...

Honestly think EA rig it as they want you to change up team etc and buy players, ultimately points etc....

Good luck all!

Easy fix. Give everyone a ToTY pack for free. Everyone is happy. EA can just weight Earps into 99% of them.....

Amazon Prime Gaming Pack 2 available. Good luck!

Unfortunately the only blue flare to grace the screen... Pack luck has been terrible since BF!

Prime gaming pack out now, pack weight is terrible but you never know! Good luck!

Last few days to pack something. The grind has been awful and pack weight is a joke. My ToTY haul Earps and HM Ederson. Glad to have got something but has been really painful especially as I didn't benefit from the Messi fiasco which my rtg team badly needed. Good luck with the last few days and glad that ToTY is nearly over.

Amazon Prime Gaming Pack 2 available. Good luck!

This is insane. Lukaku card 1M coins. EA sort out the pack weight as game is dying a quick death after ToTY grind. At least make it fun to open packs as that is the best part of the game which judging by promo cards packed is broken as well. I sometimes do wonder if these promo cards are actually in packs and if EA control the market to suit their needs...

Don't worry, rewards will be rubbish anyway.

Just open when you are feeling lucky. It's EA, pack weight is going to be awful as usual. With all the big packs prepare to be underwhelmed and don't be surprised when you've given up to open a 75+ player pick and walk away with a ToTY player! Good luck all and let's see if the servers can handle the traffic this evening!

I didn't get him but well done to those that did. I can imagine dupe theory striking and everyone who now has him gets a tradeable version somehow! Would really break the game!

Thought it could've been Maldini but glad it wasn't Nesta.

Yes. As soon as you see the flag it could've have been much worse! He is worth more than SBC and also like every version over the years his shot power in game is immense.

Flares were blue, letters in gold, excitement is building..... Out pops Earps. Oh well at least it was a ToTY player. Not what I was hoping but at least something. Good luck all!

6pm servers will probably go down!

Get in. Super happy with that. Good luck all!

Pack weight has been a joke. Icon player picks have been a farce as well. No surprise rocking up with teams stacked with ToTY players is more than likely has been down to some serious spenders on points.

She is v good. However like most players the more they cost the higher the expectation. Had both but sold Bright. Most of the time issues with defenders comes with poor servers and random game mechanics. No defender is going to help with that unfortunately.

Snap. My rtg was looking okay but no chance now. Was already struggling to keep up and I still can't get a decent icon pick above min value!

Used my founders evo way too quick.

I'm pretty sure if they did offer a one time chance in store to get another one, a lot of players would splash the coins or points on it. I'm on a rtg team but would do it 100%. Card looks great. Good luck all!

Stayed strong and did him straight away with fodder etc instead of the lottery packs. So glad I did. You just can't fail to score with him. His finesse shot is still filthy.

Eusebio done, resisting gamble packs and onto Zidane next!

I think he is v good. However like every player the more expensive they are the higher the expectations; and much easier to be disappointed by them. Ultimately the one player that you add to your team will not be the game changer you are looking for as EA would never allow that. Thankfully have him untradeable but a lot of my players which cost way less probably perform just as well most of the time while being a fraction of the cost. Add in broken mechanics, poor servers, and these amazing players probably feel much more average than they should be.

Prime gaming pack out. Good luck!

It's a disgrace. 3 base for me as well. Awful.

Think it's deliberate so EA can make sure no one gets the packs we are meant to be getting!

Best thing about untradeable cards in the team....

A mess up every year....but this was massive. I missed out as was busy... Well done to everyone who got him! Such a messi situation for them to solve!

Wouldn't worry just scored some filthy finesses with him...

So so good. If you enjoy build up play, and can pass the ball. Give him half a chance and it's a goal. Long range strikes, headers, tap ins, bargain!

Wright, Lineker, Shearer, Keane, Scholes... Literally down to nothing and decided to have one more go in the casino.... Brazil flag pops up, relief.

I didn't get him but fair play to those that did. I would be over the moon with it for my rtg team. It's a shame that I've faced him so many times already. However judging by a lot of the players I've come up against they aren't exactly ring's around me. Like everything, in the right hands he will destroy you however a lot of players make him look like any other gold card. Good luck all!

Joke. Losing so many games due to opponent fluking a goal to get to pens. Then not having any guide to see to take pens. Ridiculous.

Not even an 87 for fodder... 86, couldn't get much worse. So next pack will surely be better than this! Good luck all.

Just finished SBC. Managed to do it with fodder, a long boring grind. To be honest I think he is good however I think it's expectation management. After spending so long doing the SBC expectations will naturally be high but don't expect the total game changer that you might expect. Remember this is EA so regardless of player, there will be instances where he'll be insane and the next minute he will struggle to go past some lowly rated player and then he will start to hit the post with every shot due to the scripting in play and awful servers - good luck all!

Yep game is broken on ToTY like every year. Joke company.

Cannavaro. Had him in player pick. Was a bit gutted but has proved to be really good. Way better than I was expecting. Pair him with a bigger defender etc...

First game in WL and already come up against him non loan version! No surprise got hammered! My budget starter team ****n away. The joy of WL! Good luck all.

EA offloading ToTY players after artificially pumping the market.

No surprise. Decent players make the game way more enjoyable. Dominates midfield.

Okay, Mostovoi, Crouch, Crouch, Mostovoi... I reckon next one might be Crouch...

Then again I could get lucky and pack Ricken.

I assume EA are going to reward me with some crazy icon at some point near the end of game cycle!

Will swap my Roy Keane for him...

Get in. Turning him Red now!

No surprise. Could have been even worse though.

No brainer. Cheapest 88 card. Plays really well in game. Big win.

Yes that could be a worry. I'm half way through now and if they do change it I won't be happy at all. I honestly thought they are meant to add an additional playstyle but not change existing one...

It's EA. Rinse and repeat every year. Lazy...

Maybe EA realised that pack weight was terrible and decided to grab some headlines. Best way to get everyone talking about EAFC across social media release him has as error as they've already hit there revenue targets for FIFA points when the SBC went live...

Wfh today. Going to try and blast out WL before 6 to try and get something decent. Next promo looks poor. Good luck everyone! Going to need a holiday to recover from ToTY after such a painful grind for the elusive blue flares and gold text! One final push!

If you can't score with Dalglish irrespective of playstyles, you might as well uninstall the game....

In fairness he is still very very good. However there have been quite a few occasions where he has missed an absolute sitter. I'm pretty sure this is down to scripting etc though.

Or another solution is to nerf him so he plays like a bronze or whoever has him is scripted to lose.

Managed to pick up early when ToTY players were actually in packs! Convinced EA probably forgot to include them in packs since last week knowing them..

Prime gaming pack out now. Good luck.

Get in! Got Cole, and Keane in hero pack. Good luck all!

Brilliant for me. CAM, don't worry about pace if you can pass and build up. Even after patch his finesse is still broken and scores some great goals! Price vs performance you can't complain!

Another low value icon to add to the collection. Every team I see seems to have 1st owner icons in team!

Yeah put him into team and he is quality. Totally forgot how good he is. Just need some insane luck to pair him with Maldini!

EA are scam artists. Random I don't think so!

Amazon Prime Gaming Pack 2 available. Good luck!

Yeah happened 3 times. Worst thing is that the opponent scores literally at the last kick of the game to take into extra time and pens. So scripted. Game is broken a usual.

Same. Just doesn't make the team though at this stage. Will give him a spin but don't expect much. Icon picks have been awful. Done so many I might have just done the Gullit SBC!

I can't even pack a decent base icon!

Yes, throw in Ashley Cole in for good measure. The flag that strikes fear into every FUT player. I'm hoping EA sort me out with Charlton in the next lottery SBC!

Del P is quality. However pick Blanc as worth more and buy Del P if needed.

Sell. Take the coins. No doubt EA will flood market with lightning rounds and special packs for Black Friday, then buy back if you need him.

Bargain. EA pack overload! Prices are insane.

Could you not buy the base. And do the others etc..

At least then you will have some coin left etc.

Go Butra. Decent playstyles and 4 star skills. And of course worth more.

No surprise. Best player from WL rewards.

Del P. Quality.

Just go hunter.

Always the same. The one decent icon you have. He keeps turning up in pick and two other minimum base ones....

If your lucks in you will pack one. It will be v slim though as pack weight will be v low. I can't even pack a decent walkout usually so not holding any hopes out. Good luck!

Get in! After a raft of Mostovois and Crouches, finally!

FU EA, will never buy points!

Prime gaming pack out now. Good luck!

I had the same. Wright, Lineker, Shearer et al. Annoyingly they never game me Charlton. Numerous conspiracy theories and rituals but what I did (not exactly scientific but I made my active team full of Brazil and Portugeuse players) and voila Roberto Carlos pops out. Not to say this works but literally clutching at straws following the rubbish I've packed. Best part of the game opening packs but usually v underwhelming. Good luck.

From Berbatov to KDB the rollcoaster of pack opening emotions. Good luck all!

Base base baby.. Nothing of note.

Should have just done one of the decent icon SBC's .

Rubbish WL rewards as usual. Then from a season objective pick 1 of 3!

Crazy. Good luck all!

Probably forgot to include in packs but we are none the wiser.

Snap! RTG team was bargain ba*****t, now looking decent with two great players in it!

To be fair, was expecting more. Lucky to get him untradeable but wouldn't sink 1.2M coins into him.

Yes. I think for 2M not quite the game changer as he was last year. He was totally broken last year and had the knack of scoring out of nothing.

Yes Del P as CAM is so so good. Bargain at price.

Have him, Dalglish and Eusebio. 5* weakfoot triple attack.

I would go Del P. If you don't need pace and can make space. Finesse lights out.

Yeah had her and sold her. Tbh no matter what players I have always reach a solid 14 wins in WL irrespective of new players etc. Good luck with the grind all. ToTY nearly over thankfully.

Unsure. I've been building up the coins very slowly. Close to affording base or basically using coin and fodder to complete him etc...thoughts?

Nice one. Depends if there is another player you are after and can afford if selling. I'm stuck with a decent amount of coins but not enough to get the crazy players etc...

I want compensation, got Dudek, Litmanen and Riise in my hero pick. EA can

Unbelievable. Haven't packed anything decent since start of game, icon was Roy Keane, previous hero was Rui Costa and literally given up on this awful game. Submitted both into hero SBC and out pops Toure! Looks like I'm back on the grind. Good luck all!
