The payout structure on the game is pretty bad for everything but the Premier League. I only got like $5 million for winning the 2. Bundesliga.

drive by thought, minimal research done on my part. what is the consensus on the percentage breakdown of players in H2H vs UT on a given weekend? and if it is slanted to the latter by a large margin, why doesn't team quality play a role in matchmaking? I thought I read somewhere that it's basically ELO or bust. just seems like they could include brackets on team ratings due to the sheer amount of players

With the release of some TOTS cards I've tweaked my squad a bit. Love having two strikers that can't be pushed off the ball. Just flick it forward and then initiate contact and press LT and they both just shrug defenders off like gnats and open up tons of space to get a shot off

you're gonna have to explain the point of TOTS to me. beyond the basics, I understand "the point" but in a search for German CM's, side by side there's a Gundogan IF selling for less than 2000, middle of the road price for the card. on the other side is a TOTS bronze player from gladbach. 64 overall, and individual stats under each of Ilkay's threshold. granted not nearly as big a difference as a non IF card would have for a 19 point overall deficit, it was about 5 points per category. but the TOTS card(actually it's black I know that's something different but the question remains the same) for the 64 overall player is asking for a measly 18k.


again I'm not new to FUT, we've been shooting back and forth for months now. but I know I'm missing some major component of the equation, or I'm just fricking stupid




another sidebar. full disclosure I majored in Econ so this shite is actually really interesting to me. Ozil IF 88, Kroos IF 87. one is generally priced about 10k higher than the other. (in this instance same position, no chemistry style). is this the market force of little Mexican kids valuing an offensive heavy player over a more well rounded midfielder? to the tune of over 200% of the lesser cards worth? again, I might be missing something. I'm sure these conversations have been happening since the dawn of FUT

A lot of things come into play. Long shots and pace will spike a players value exponentially, as will the league he plays in/country he's from, and the availability of the card on the market. IF Guarin goes for about 50k more than IF Naiingolan, despite Radja having almost better stats across the board at the same position in the same league. Well Radja can't pelt one from 40 yards into the top corner, and Guarin has 92 long shots and 94 shot power. Skill moves and weak foot will also have a say in value. Kroos has a 5* WF and can be integrated into a Bundesliga or La Liga team, and his defensive stats aren't terrible. Ozil is a dime a dozen BPL midfielder on FIFA and his shooting stats aren't great. As far as bronze and silver players, there are tournaments specific for bronze and silver squads, so the high end bronze and silver players will fetch more than the average rare gold player.

Jonas and Hulk IF cards are amazing, but they play in minuscule leagues which makes their value cheap as hell relative to their actual ratings. Same reason striker Ronaldo fetches about 400k more than LW Ronaldo, it's all about chemistry

I wish I could run into a silver TOTS team. I've been trying to play the second round of the silver tournament for 3 days without finding an opponent. your first example makes complete sense, and in that instance I think you just have to personally decide how much you value that type of goal creation against your budget.


but the Ozil Kroos thing is truly mind boggling. you could theoretically buy Kroos, and then have enough to make 2 major positional upgrades elsewhere with the extra 10k+. like 2-3 points on your team rating improvement. I'm not an Ozil hater by any means, he serves his purpose. but on what planet is he 200% more valuable than a guy who can play box to box or slide down and play CDM in any moment of need. not to mention the constant threat of distance set pieces.

also, I'm finally set to use futhead, fill my players in, and then have no way to share it. how do you get your overview into imgur? whenever I go to the mobile version the page bugs out

eta: I'm attempting this all mobile even though my desktop is 15 feet away

You were also in the first division of a league that has some rich teams, though.

In my Notts County MM, I got up to like $24m transfer budget in my 2nd year in the EPL. First year, I only had like $6m.

I'm working on a move to get LB Ronny Marcos from Hamburg. 68 Ovr, 22 yrs, 8K wages.

He can replace my current LB Joan Oriol who is 70 Ovr, 29 yrs, 25K wages and in the last year of his deal.

That will free up some cash.

Yeah, I use these. LINK

The last patch really affected a lot of what I liked about 16 from the beginning, even on Legendary.

Thinking about diving into a Torino career like WSE had mentioned, despite the ridiculous board demands for Champions League.

If I get sacked, I can always fire up a Milan one.
