They'd be stupid not to take advantage of these profit avenues, particularly when this weekend in particular has shown how lucrative it can be. The onus isn't on EA with this. Nor should it be. When shitty financial practices are going under the radar, you're not going to have a financial institution going "you know what lads, although this is still legal, we're going to decide not to do it" In a wider sense, it's up to whoever can regulate the gaming industry to act and tell EA what they can and cannot do. Belgium have already banned them completely, and although personally I disagree with something like that, it's hard to argue that it's not effective for stopping it. On a micro level, parents need to get their fucking finger out. If your kid is spending anything on things like this, you should know about it, and you should be acting on it. EA are a "shower of c***s", but if anyone was in their position, they'd do the same. Wrong I enjoy reading this thread occasionally despite not having a clue what's going on. When I see people saying they spend actual money on these cards - the amount of time you must put in is bad enough - I'm mortified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t believe I got him for 200 coins. There’s only 3 pages available for him and roughly going for 5k. Thanks for this, made some profit trading on him today which is rare for me as I have no idea how to make money from the market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one man! I’ve just been sniping away at Bundesliga players and have roughly made nearly 20k in the process. As soon as I’ve sniped them, they are flipped back and within minutes sold for the higher price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've picked up the player you highlighted at 4-4.5k and sold on for 5.5k so made a few coin, just repeatedly doing that while playing today has brought about 30k in which is probably my best spell of trading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Courtois in an untradeable was pretty cool.Money I get is always little.Got Neto on bench who I've had majority of time however keeping him for squad builder.A nothing team to everyone here but I enjoy it.My strike force do well together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Nice one, but yeah I was referring to Vieri when asking if he was good enough? I was considering getting him up front with Insigne and Mertens in the CAM positions? But worth the money? I can afford but I like to have plenty coins. Haha. I've tried pretty much tried all the useable icon strikers at that price range and Crespo is by far my favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just packed a black 91 TOTW Van Dijk and a blue 91 CL Hazard after completing the Nations SBC group. Worth maybe 1.1m coins. Currently using a Serie A team with only two players 85+ and Immobile is my most expensive player at 18.5k. Should I sell Hazard and Van Dijk then create a more rounded squad and what team should I build?I'd sell the in form Virgil and buy normal one and I'd also buy Kante and build my time from there. They are the best in game. If you go premier League I would say Son is easily the best striker I've used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold the Van Dijk and Hazard for 1m coins then bought this team: GK - Handanovic - 88 RWB - Florenzi - 81 CBs: Godin - 88 Koulibaly - 89 Chiellini - 89 LWB - TOTW Kolarov - 84 CMs: TOTW Nainggolan - 86 TOTW Pjanic - 87 CAM - TOTW Dybala - 89 STs: TOTW Immobile - 88 Ruud Van Nistelrooy - 90 Also got 87 ST Mertens. Not sure whether RVN is worth the 370k coins yet. Might sell him but not sure how to upgrade this team until a proper RB comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 86 pace and dribbling and he's 6ft tall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can pick up Storyline Danilo for RB. I’m similar with Serie A but hybrid on the right side as that league is pretty light on that side of the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I saw a list of the recent Champions League upgraded players. Not sure whether to upgrade my standard gold Kane to the nice new shiny one. Its a fair amount at 200k and i'm not sure how much of a difference it will make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't on EA. Which I said in the post. EA are going to do whatever they can legally get away with, and they'll continue to do it until someone tells them not to. They're a business, and they're going to do every little thing they can to make money, particularly when it's going to make them A LOT of money. You really expecting them to be the ones that go "haud on, guys, we're making too much money here, let's put a handicap in". I'm not defending EA, I'm being realistic. Until they get telt to do things differently, EA going to EA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I used some 76 rated Danish league diddy for that Cuadrado SBC, very good value for a change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His RTTF card is immense but even his normal gold card is miles better than the TOTW Pjanic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
