The Ultimate Team thread

Recommended Posts

Im sure that most of you know that the web app for UT comes out on wednesday (17th) so in preparation for Fifa's most popular mode I thought a single UT thread would be a good idea.

 

Post the players you got in your starter packs, the first team you built, bargains you picked up, trading tips and anything else UT related here.

 

Useful sites

http://www.futhead.com/

A few tips from me.

 

Invest in managers as soon as possible. Each rare manager and gold non rare managers give you a % boost for the contracts you apply. You dont have to have them in your active squad as long as they are in your club you will get the extra matches.

 

The % caps at 50 so once you have got there dont buy any more managers. At 50% a gold rare contract (28 games) will now give you 42 games, so its well worth doing. Obviously I cant be 100% sure that the managers/contacts thing is exactly the same as Fifa14 but its been like that for a number of years and I cant see them changing it.

 

NEVER BUY FITNESS CARDS! Cant stress this enough. Rotate your squads. You should always have at least two squads. Put your 'B team' players on your 'A teams' bench and vice versa. Squad fitness cards will probably be 2k at the start so if your spending that every three games you're a mug.

 

Know the market. Non rare gold cards discard for a minimum of 300. Rare cards 600, so never list them below their discard price. Also EA take 5% from everything you sell so bear that in mind when listing players.

 

If you get a player who you think might be worth a bit, spend a few seconds researching their price. It could be worth it.

 

Stay safe. Never give anyone your EA passwords. No matter how persuasive they are. You will lose EVERYTHING in seconds. If you get a message on XBL offering to have your players duplicated or something similar, its a con. Block, report and move on.

Thanks for posting this FUT Thread Morbido, prevents others from flooding the Forum with countless new Threads over the next year.

 

However, I'm not a big fan of sharing FUT Trading Methods as you've kindly done above as you only increase competition in the area that you are looking to make profits and discourages others from finding a Trading Method of their own.

Yeah you're right.

 

Thats why ive not disclosed my main methods. Just a bit of advice for potential new players.

 

Plus, considering the number of people that now play FUT getting a gold player for under 300 will be practically impossible.

 

Unlike on NHL14 where im making a (virtual) fortune due to others stupidity:)

 

First squad im gonna make.

http://www.futhead.com/15/squads/232986/

 

Im hopeless on a cpu, how do I post an image of the team rather than a link?

 

Hoping Cleber is a central midfielder rather than a defender. Im totally buggered for my symmetry if hes not.

 

Edit - Meant to include this earlier.

 

The full database for players is now out and can be found at http://www.futhead.com/ That site whilst useful is chock full of brain dead 14 year old sheep. The comments on players are almost solely limited to dat pace, dat strength, he's back (follow up comment * black) beast and tank. They are the kind of wankers who think its funny to pretend Bendtner etc are good. Sigh.

 

Anyway I can't believe how wrong EA have got some of the Sheffield Wednesday players. Both ratings and positions are so, so wrong.

 

I think ratings are final but apparently position, skill moves and weak foot aren't so hopefully they get them right for wednesday.

I know how to post an Image on XboxAchievements that is saved as a file on my Computer, but I don't how to post an Image from a URL on here - If someone else can help here we'd be grateful.

 

Here's How To Post an Image on XboxAchievements from a File that is Saved on your Computer:

 

1. Find the Image you want and Save it to File. Alternatively you can capture a "Screen Shot" of a Picture by pressing "Prt Sc/Print Screen" on your Keyboard and then Copy the Screen Shot into a simple Image editing program, (e.g.) Paint and Save the File on your Computer.

2. Upload the Saved File to a Image Hosting website, I personally use tinypic.com because you don't need to Sign In or Create an Account - Just make sure you avoid any suspicious looking Adverts e.t.c. Click "Browse" and find the File on your Computer and then click "Upload". Note - You normally need to reduce the size of an Image to post it ideally on XboxAchievements.

3. Make sure you Right Click and Copy the correct URL "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" after the File has been Uploaded.

4. Then back on XboxAchievements go to Post a Comment as usual and you'll see a small Yellow Icon above where you type a Comment which looks like a couple of Mountains with the Sun in the background, that is where you Insert the Image.

5. Copy the URL from Step 3 into the window after you have clicked on the Icon during Step 4. Make sure you remove any brackets for example {IMG} at either end of the URL and your Image can then be seen on XboxAchievements.

Cheers, ill have a go when I do another team.

Cant work it out. Going round to my brothers later on in the week, maybe he can help.

 

Edit - Changed it again so the cards are symmetrical. Every Armenian player on FUT used.

All I will say at this time is Premiership/Championship Silvers look Evil this year & it will be my 1st main aim to build a Silver team.

There are certainly some decent Prem silvers. You gonna use any Wednesday players? Maybe Westwood in goal?

As a lot of UT threads are springing up I thought id bump this thread back to the top.

 

Just bought my first IF. Icardi from Inter. Got him on an open bid for 12k. Thought his average BiN would be around 20k. Its not, hes not going for much more than 12k.

 

However I got him with the Hunter card applied and if I wait a bit he will be around 30k. Just hope he doesn't get a SIF.

Oh god, I hate the defense in this game. It's like a Swiss cheese, you can pass the ball around a couple of times when you're attacking and there will always be an enormous hole in the defense to get your striker 1 on 1 with the keeper. And the worst part is, the defenders are falling down like they have narcolepsy. I keep getting ties.

 

On the bright side, my pack luck is off the roof. Packed Casillas, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Ribery and Rooney. Sold Rooney and Ribery, waiting to sell Ozil when the normal cards of Di Maria will hit the market (if he's not too overpriced or else I'll go for Rodriguez once his price has dropped).

 

this is my team so far

This is what I'll be working towards if my luck with packs continue

Just need to convert the CDM to CM and RM to RW and everyone will be on full chemistry.

I have two starter teams, used the coins I got from the web app daily rewards. They're both hybrids, one is BPL La Liga and the other is Serie A Bundesliga (So that I can use the top 4 leagues). Obviously can't afford good players in the current market but I'm trying to buy cheap beasts.

I've tried to build the German national team over the last few versions of FIFA and I was going to switch this year given they just won the WC and will be expensive.

 

Then I packed Schweinsteiger and Khedira and here we go again...

 

Managed to add Hummels, Muller, Klose and a few others fairly cheaply but Reus, Lahm, Neuer, even Goetze are pretty $$$$ on the market. Should have gone with Colombia this year

Problem with a German team is lack of full backs.

BPL La Liga:

I know they aren't much but to be honest I usually play better with a shit team, im not sure how people have such great starter teams, im certainly not buying FIFA points because i'm not that dumb. When I've bought big expensive players i have been let down so ill just keep improving these teams as i get more coins. (Also, how do I send you a link to my team via the web app?)

Just about to go to Tesco to get the Game, so here are my 1st and 2nd Gold BPL Teams so far.

 

Transfer Profit = 451,755 in 8 Days of Web App trading, no FIFA Points bought/used.

Notes:

I always create Physical Teams in a Narrow Diamond Formation as you can just knock the opposition off the ball and dominate every Game. I think every Defender & Midfielder in both Teams are 6ft 2"+.

 

Both Squads are currently missing CAM's as Ozil is in my Trade Pile (as a cheeky listing before the price drops tonight) and I plan to purchase Rooney and convert him to my 1st Team CAM once the price drops due to the number of Packs being opened today.

 

Depending on price drops later want to sign Rooney, Balotelli, Sturridge and a few others.

I bought it. :) starter cup is a bit easy. 12.0 up at half time with a bronze team! Just letting the clock run down now. Lol.

 

Lol, if anyone struggles with the difficulty of the Offline starter cup they really need help. It's so easy that it makes the Game boring.

 

Has anyone seen the coin rewards in the catalogue? Just bought some and played a game hoping the would stack but only got one lot. Really hoping after the 10 games I'll automatically go on to the next lot. Anyone know?

 

Yeah, they are most likely to stack and automatically go onto the next coin reward once the previous reward is finished. Please let us know if it doesn't.

 

I'm pissed off as I've bought all the Trade Pile Expansions (from 30 up to 100) but I can add 100 items to the Trade Pile, but can still only List 30 of them.

 

Glad it's not just me as it's been a widely reported error on the EA Forums.

 

Falcao, higher rated than say Neymar.

 

Crazy finishing, heading accuracy, shooting etc.

 

Selling for approx 100k.

 

Neymar 200-300k... seems legit.

 

Pace is still perceived as king in FUT and Neymar's price is volatile due to his recent In-Form TOTW Card last week.
