FIFA has gotten too realistic for me, the zenith of the series was FIFA 2003.

I'm all about Football Manager now.

What I did was play 3 or 4 games offline with the team you get given. That gets you about 1200 coins if you've done a tournament. With that buy two players (when you search look at the contract they already have) and then buy contracts for them. I remember after five games last year I just had granero and etherington on about 35 contracts.

Yeah there's the odd chance that a seller may have screwed up their prices lol, when starting up I picked up David Luiz with about 30 contracts for 1000 coins. He's currently on 16 remaining matches.

But what do you mean buy contracts? I thought you can only get 2-3 inside those packs.

[Jubilee]

No you can buy contracts for about 250 coins! Just mess about on what you are searching for!

Oh word? That means that some of the individual cards in the trading menu are absolute steals whose owners dont know how to get the contracts and I'll be able to solidify the core of my team with long term contracts easily.

After blowing out on packs I've still got 3k to work with....Van Nistelrooy and Amanatidis as strikers, some Brazilian from the German League as my CAM and everything below that is a bunch of Gold Brazilians with probably David Luiz as my #1 to complete most of the team chemistry.

It's a pretty damn good team but the contracts kept expiring on me and pissed me off.

Thank you Twigg, now that I know where to get contracts from I managed to get a 100% chemistry 79 rating team. I'll be stocking up on contracts and trying to save up for a decently priced CAM Kaka to complete my ideal forward line-up. Rafael is a steal for 3k...plays even better than most 80+ players.

Back on FIFA 12, the realism of the Impact Engine continues

Ay Twigg, for returning players you get 2 free mixed packs for FIFA Ultimate Team 12. Trading is also in full swing too...after selling off a rare silver card and boosting my defensive line I'm currently sitting on this:

Fabio and Felipe Santana were downright steals for 500 and 1000 respectively given their importance to my team...Felip especially since most CB's had horrible paces bordering on 50 while he had 78 and a decent defending stat, why I got him while crap defenders were getting absurd bids boggles my mind.

Next move, a decent keeper. I'm considering Gomes from Tottenham since he was my keeper in FUT 11...though his stats were downgraded from 83 to 80 so I don't know if he'll be as effective as he used to be. After that I'll stock up on coins and look at getting a modest 100 chemistry line-up.

Preordering the Ultimate pack will help with the "4 free gold packs a month for 6 months" gimmick.

Was just about to come here and say I've done the same thing, I had CRAP first two packs, but hopefully can rectify that with some clever trades.

[Jubilee]

I'll post my team later, but basically at the moment I have a decent keeper from PSG, Kolarov from Man City at LB and De Guzman whose ok, everyone else is pretty woeful. My plan is to sell Kolarov, and look around the auction house to try and buy Anderson and Fabio.

[Jubilee]

Yeah, looking at the prices around, and the days left until FIFA 12 comes out, I have decided I will try and get Anderson, Fabio and Rafael for my first team when the physical copy comes out. I'd be very happy for them to give me a few decent players, then play the game like crazy when it comes out.

[Jubilee]

Yeah just got Anderson, and have 1,000 coins left now to have a play around with. Owen, Fabio, Rafael seem to be the players knocking around that price, but I don't want to bid till I get a great deal.

[Jubilee]

Bought Anderson for 1,000 coins, he's now on the trade pill for 1,400. Can't see it selling,but every little helps in this tough world.

[Jubilee]

Got Fabio for 600 coins and put him on trade pile for 300. He's already at 350 with 2 hours to go, but I completely did it by mistake, and just hope I get my money back!

[fieldy snuts]

Players with high pace sell for crazy amounts. I once saw a bronze Nigerian guy from the MLS go for at least 20k simply because he had a 92 pace.

[Jubilee]

Well yeah, but it also helps that he's bronze (or if he was silver). There is a minority who play on fifa with just bronze and silver teams (as there is often tournaments for just bronze teams) so obviously the best bronze players go for insane ammounts. There was a blackback silver player last year who always went for over 100k.

I might as well pimp out my current cards that I'm looking to offload here since you like trading:



If you're interested in any, make an offer and I'll give you the specifics to narrow down the auction search.
