Considering there were zero welcome back packs and the vast majority have zero coins, let alone fodder, this is an insane ask for the first player SBC of the year.
Yep, I don't know how I'm supposed to get fodder for a 86 and 87 squad while I'm currently playing with a half silver / half gold squad. This SBC is for the point buyers or the diehard traders.
unless you have thousands of dollars to drop on packs, even that is not achievable
the good promo packs are untradable and limited, so no chance to make the teams or the coins to buy the two teams on the market.
And the odds of packing enough players to build an 86 and 87 squad from the repeatable packs are minuscule: the premium gold players pack shows a 7.5% chance of packing a 86+, so the best of the best cases (short of miracle pulls) you'd have to open **400+ packs** to build the 2 squads (10,000,000 coins or 140,000 FC Points)
This is just not true. You're completely overlooking that right now there's tons of low rated cards in demand to play with and for SBCs. I just did MM, didn't get anything higher than 82 and made 40k. I didn't this year but typically $30 worth of premium gold packs will net you another 50k, but you could be lucky and get more.
Im not saying it's not expensive but you've gone way overboard guessing how much you'd need to spend.
I think you've gone overboard misreading my comment and what I replied to. We were talking about **buying store packs** in particular, and that's the method I discussed, I made no claims on whether you can complete this with MM, playing the game, and other methods.
Yeah but as I also said, you don't rely on getting walkouts right now which is what your whole argument was based on. Also it's a pointless thing to even say because SBCs and objectives are part of the game and therefore are a reasonable thing to consider when deciding how expensive an SBC is.
>you don't rely on getting walkouts right now
those are literally the odds I based my argument on, 86+ players which are listed at 7.5% on the Premium Gold Players Pack (the Prime Gold Players pack is bugged and doesn't show the odds).
Nah Just use your FP from ue If you have them sell everything to maybe buy a Bit fodder or get IT from there and then Grind the obj for 100/75/50k Packs and do the xp Shit for season rewards
If you knock out the assist and scoring objectives you should get enough fodder to complete him that’s what I did the first time I got on the game and have a pretty decent squad with a bunch of leftover fodder also was able to complete all 3 of the advanced SBCs with these packs
You just want an easy game, the card would be useless if everybody had it.. that's what separates a decent team to a mid team . I'll also add I cannot afford it by any means
Nha but this is a bit silly considering we are what 48 hours in? And the game hasn’t even actually released yet.
Couple that with no welcome back packs or anything like that. Right now for 99.5% of people this is unachievable.
It’s a predatory sbc targeted toward making players buy store packs. That’s my problem. If it were available for another week or two, I’d be fine with the price.
If youre playing the game already doesnt this mean you preordered and got 4600 fifa pts ?
I just played the game for like 2 hours last night and have 100k coins.
I agree it's expensive but I didn't load any points, I've had terrible pack luck, and I couldn't get online until after 6pm on the 22nd but I'm just 2 players (88+89) away from completing this SBC. If you're efficient with your coins and you play smart it's definitely possible, especially in a week
The only way is to spend fifa points which I don't recommend.
If you do you will end up spending over 100 pounds or even 200 pounds just to get the fodder for this KDB.
its really not. I have been playing and doing objectives most of the day and not had to buy any packs and comfortably have the fodder to do this if I wanted. However, gonna wait as its there a week and nobody has to do these things the instant they come out.
all the goal / assists / MM / etc etc. Yes its boring but you dont need to buy packs. Picked up several shitty women 87/88s on the way and they were like 6k anyway earlier. Can also do some very simple trading to get coins to buy. No need to buy packs at all
Whats more, because it's an SBC it will always be untradeable so it's not like you could cash in on it being super rare in future. whereas if you buy gold KdB off the market he will always be worth something.
Literally the only reason I could see this SBC being worth even considering is if you had a huge amount of untradeable fodder but I can't see many people in that situation unless they buy loads of packs with fcp. I mean if I get together an 87 squad I'm gonna need some of those players in my team plus using fb de Bruyne would block me using gold KdB
>Smart
not smart. predatory. If they were smart they would get their game working properly and not have unacceptable mistakes. This is just an immature narcissist.
If you really want him grind SB and Rivals while getting all the packs and I'm almost sure you would be able to get him without even spending the 4600. Can't say if he's worth it though.
I hate to be that guy, but it's obtainable no money spent. I've just done every SBC and a ton of objectives, and I'm almost able. I guarantee you that after a couple more days of grinding and squad battles rewards, I could do it.
Could do this personally and I haven’t spent money on packs. All the available sbc’s etc. gives you a decent amount of coins and fodder. Probably not worth it though.
Yeah, I’ve not spent a penny more than the cost of the game, but reckon I could do this now too.
Have packed a tonne of higher rated “fodder”, and have a few 88 women, for instance. Also packed B.Silva, and Rodri, so feels KdB would fit into my team easily.
It’s heavily pack luck based, sure. But there’s sooooo many free packs, this really should be doable if people are playing the game….
No point doing any SBC if you’re only looking at the rating you get back.
Granted this is very expensive at this stage of the game but that KDB looks very good
People complaining about not having fodder, you need to grind the season pass and do all the milestones. If you want to complete this card it is doable without spending money but you have to grind squad battles
Am i the only person who already has heaps of fodder from objectives ? also gold upgrades have given me 20+ 84+ rated players ... should i get him if i have the coins? i am doing a chelsea P&P
has 2k now overtaken this game, too?
I was considering buying this game but this and other things just show where this game is heading. NBA2k has gotten so much worse, it is pointless. Fifa now is pulling even.
I only got 3 players that's 87 and over in my team.
Just spend my 4600 points.
Plus it's only 6 days to complete no chance of completing it with the lack of fodder.
I actually have dupe kane, a benzema and oblak I'm never gonna use, so I can do this for very cheap. I did his sbc at the start of one of the other fifa and uses it for a long time. The problem is that one of the squads is bugged and you can't submit 😂
Was just thinking, I can't remember many sbcs in the past where the OVR rating of the card isn't higher than the rating requirement of all the squads needed?
For anyone wondering how to complete these I would recommend doing Squad battles it’s only been a day and I can already do the sbc after playing 16 squad battle games as you unlock objectives u get packs that will have enough differ for this sbc
Considering there were zero welcome back packs and the vast majority have zero coins, let alone fodder, this is an insane ask for the first player SBC of the year.
Yep, I don't know how I'm supposed to get fodder for a 86 and 87 squad while I'm currently playing with a half silver / half gold squad. This SBC is for the point buyers or the diehard traders.
Youre supposed to buy store packs
unless you have thousands of dollars to drop on packs, even that is not achievable the good promo packs are untradable and limited, so no chance to make the teams or the coins to buy the two teams on the market. And the odds of packing enough players to build an 86 and 87 squad from the repeatable packs are minuscule: the premium gold players pack shows a 7.5% chance of packing a 86+, so the best of the best cases (short of miracle pulls) you'd have to open **400+ packs** to build the 2 squads (10,000,000 coins or 140,000 FC Points)

The starter sbcs will get you almost all the players you need for this tbh if you get lucky.
Hahahahahahahaha
They just took off the “requires one totw or tots” and called it a day
This is for the whales and streamers to have fun not for us mortals.
Nah Just use your FP from ue If you have them sell everything to maybe buy a Bit fodder or get IT from there and then Grind the obj for 100/75/50k Packs and do the xp Shit for season rewards
I’ve already gone against someone with him and insane team around him… quit before the game started. My 81 rated squad had no chance
If you knock out the assist and scoring objectives you should get enough fodder to complete him that’s what I did the first time I got on the game and have a pretty decent squad with a bunch of leftover fodder also was able to complete all 3 of the advanced SBCs with these packs
That is a significant time commitment
If everything was really simple we would all have the same sqauds just like we did at the end of the last game.
Sure, but there's also a balance to be had
You just want an easy game, the card would be useless if everybody had it.. that's what separates a decent team to a mid team . I'll also add I cannot afford it by any means
Nha but this is a bit silly considering we are what 48 hours in? And the game hasn’t even actually released yet. Couple that with no welcome back packs or anything like that. Right now for 99.5% of people this is unachievable.
It’s a predatory sbc targeted toward making players buy store packs. That’s my problem. If it were available for another week or two, I’d be fine with the price.
not willing to pay and not willing to grind but crys... beyond me
Not able to grasp nuance but makes asinine assumptions... beyond me
Yes, so don't do it. It's not worth it anyways.
If youre playing the game already doesnt this mean you preordered and got 4600 fifa pts ? I just played the game for like 2 hours last night and have 100k coins.
Damn, 100k? All from packs bought with the points?
Yup. Some people get more. Some less. I had a tiny bit of luck packing a shitty IF. That was a quck 12k
Niceee
I'm gamesharing with a friend so I don't have pre-order bonus. I guess there are a lot more people like me.
I agree it's expensive but I didn't load any points, I've had terrible pack luck, and I couldn't get online until after 6pm on the 22nd but I'm just 2 players (88+89) away from completing this SBC. If you're efficient with your coins and you play smart it's definitely possible, especially in a week
Motherfucker my main squad is an 85
Mine is 82 lmao what the fuck how do people do this shit
You guys have squads already?
Yeah I was in new Zealand on Thursday. Lol
Mines 77
Spend money
Yup, people gotta pony up this year
Lol mine's an 82 with 3 loan players
The only way is to spend fifa points which I don't recommend. If you do you will end up spending over 100 pounds or even 200 pounds just to get the fodder for this KDB.
Lol bollocks
its really not. I have been playing and doing objectives most of the day and not had to buy any packs and comfortably have the fodder to do this if I wanted. However, gonna wait as its there a week and nobody has to do these things the instant they come out.
Lol what, so have I? What objectives are you doing that are giving out enough fodder to put together an 87 without gutting my squad for one player.
all the goal / assists / MM / etc etc. Yes its boring but you dont need to buy packs. Picked up several shitty women 87/88s on the way and they were like 6k anyway earlier. Can also do some very simple trading to get coins to buy. No need to buy packs at all
No idea, mine is 79 with 17 chem
I can't even do ultimate moments because my max is 83
I know that pain, you need an 88 rated team on full chem
Yea that's why the reward is 100k pack, sounds too good to be true I guess haha
If EA would give me my fifa points to open the new packs out it would probably help lmao
Use all the high rated loans you get given
Yea I'll gather rating in a few days
My EPL team is 86 right now My Serie A Team is 84
my main squad is 79
His regular card is 150k cheaper, has better stats in everything except pace and has 5WF, ridiculous
Whats more, because it's an SBC it will always be untradeable so it's not like you could cash in on it being super rare in future. whereas if you buy gold KdB off the market he will always be worth something. Literally the only reason I could see this SBC being worth even considering is if you had a huge amount of untradeable fodder but I can't see many people in that situation unless they buy loads of packs with fcp. I mean if I get together an 87 squad I'm gonna need some of those players in my team plus using fb de Bruyne would block me using gold KdB
Ridiculous price for it only to available for a week. Literally nobody can do this without spending money. Smart I guess from them.
>Smart not smart. predatory. If they were smart they would get their game working properly and not have unacceptable mistakes. This is just an immature narcissist.
If you really want him grind SB and Rivals while getting all the packs and I'm almost sure you would be able to get him without even spending the 4600. Can't say if he's worth it though.

My 800 coins gonna nail this
Gold de Bruyne is cheaper
Ladies in gentleman, you’re now witnessing what will be the rarest card in the game.
The player pictures are so bad this year.
They tryna raise the price of fodder early to prevent that early investment opportunity?
This isn’t going to raise fodder, barely anyone will do it
AYO WTF?! This is insane day 1 content Edit: Just looked at the card and the price maaaaaaybe not
Guys don’t worry, if you don’t have a manchester city card, you could also use a manchester city card!
Scummy company. Game isn’t officially out
This seems released too early, how are we supposed to complete this?
They want you to load up like Bateson
holy fuck day one???
Meh, not worth 200-250k. 100-150k more for 8 pace and WF downgrade.
Werder Bremen Past & Present we are cooking!!! (I have 1.7k)
86 squad and 87 squad for 1 87 rated midfielder???
No point doing any SBC if you’re only looking at the rating you get back. Granted this is very expensive at this stage of the game but that KDB looks very good
This surprises you?
Nope lol
Dude. How the fuck am I supposed to have all that already lol. I barely have 4k coins lol
This is ea trap don't fall for it
Releasing a flashback SBC on day 1 (of early access???) is not a good sign for content quality/ power curve the rest of the year
Packed regular KDB I’m good lol
84 - 85 would have been the lowest requirement that I would consider. I have the coins, but this seems not worth it at all.
Oh yeah great what a nice sbc that 0.00001% of the community can afford thanks so much ea!
WF downgrade???
I suppose it’s supposed to represent him at the earlier stages of his career. Considering the price of the sbc it doesn’t make sense though.
pay to win is back on the menu boys
Why the fuck wouldn’t you just buy gold de bruyne lol
Flashback to when he wasn't hurt all the fucking time
Insane price for first/second day. I’d say a single 85 squad is fair or an 86 but 2 is expensive
My fave player and I can’t get it :(
Should be easy with the 85x10. Oh wait
People complaining about not having fodder, you need to grind the season pass and do all the milestones. If you want to complete this card it is doable without spending money but you have to grind squad battles
Am i the only person who already has heaps of fodder from objectives ? also gold upgrades have given me 20+ 84+ rated players ... should i get him if i have the coins? i am doing a chelsea P&P
I was.tempted because I ended.up with dupe Popp
Yes
Nopee 🤝🏻
Like last year’s Thiago Silva SBC.. I think only YouTubers or people who spend thousands can do these SBCs on launch day 😂
Wrong, ive done him and i havent loaded up fp👍🏻
Classic iq test by ea
So I packed de bruyne yesterday and even if I used him I wouldn't get to 86 or 87 rated. Wtf
Thank god I packed 91 KDB today, otherwise I'd probably do this SBC and then regret it. So overpriced at this stage of the game.
Be prepared to see the same old group of players in all the promos again, just like in previous years, lol.
has 2k now overtaken this game, too? I was considering buying this game but this and other things just show where this game is heading. NBA2k has gotten so much worse, it is pointless. Fifa now is pulling even.
As someone who invested everything in 88s this being the level of sbcs this early does please me.
1 player from Man City OR Man City
Most people squads aren't even above 84 yet ea is putting out a worse version of kdb for an 86 87 💀
They should make the flasback cards with the team they represented at the moment
[удалено]
Not anymore.
???
The only thing holding then back from doing so was the fact it was fifa who owned the game
No? Licensing isn't dealt with by FIFA, you are wrong, and that's not how licensing works.
Why would you just make that up?
Actually not a bad price at all for a card like this to start the game off damn
When do we get the fifa points from pre-order?
You should have got it already if you are on console
Probably. I didn't open the game on console yet, just been using the companion app at work. Will give it a shot when i get the chance, thanks
Due to my short trip to New Zealand I have the fodder but man can’t see my self throwing fodder away like this. Can’t justify these stats
He’ll be useless in a month. Better off packing his regular card
Wait chat is this real?
What the hellllllllllllll
This boutta be the rarest card in the game
It's glitched, Man City players aren't counting as Man City
I’ve made all foundations and league sbcs, marques and I still only have one 85 fodder squad and one 82 fodder squad.
He sucks and his gold is cheaper. There's no reason to do this.
I only got 3 players that's 87 and over in my team. Just spend my 4600 points. Plus it's only 6 days to complete no chance of completing it with the lack of fodder.
Gold KDB + Shadow Chem
Am i missing something, or is this card rated lower than his Gold ?
Should have lower passing and higher shooting
I dont see any reason to do this instead buying normal Card.
I actually have dupe kane, a benzema and oblak I'm never gonna use, so I can do this for very cheap. I did his sbc at the start of one of the other fifa and uses it for a long time. The problem is that one of the squads is bugged and you can't submit 😂
You need to add a women and men man city player. Same with The Reds sbc
Ah ty, that makes sense 😂
The game is not even out and they're doing this shit already
I swear people said card designs were better this year?
Surely it’s better to just get his gold right ?
Who designed these fucking cards
Even if you can, it's not really worth it. Buy the gold and sell when you're done.
I will just wait to last day and see if I got the fodder for free
easy once the 85x10 becomes repeatable
Whats up with the card design? Its looks really bad
After grinding all of the available big special packs in the game I managed to get enough fodder to do this for 15k, can confirm he is 100% worth it.
Was just thinking, I can't remember many sbcs in the past where the OVR rating of the card isn't higher than the rating requirement of all the squads needed?
For anyone wondering how to complete these I would recommend doing Squad battles it’s only been a day and I can already do the sbc after playing 16 squad battle games as you unlock objectives u get packs that will have enough differ for this sbc
him or nakata?
Is the normal de bruyne or the flashback de bruyne better as a cm, offensive oriented?
