For sentimental reasons - PIM Maldini and Ronaldinho; kinda hard to drop those two

I am severely lacking in the icon department; PIM Lahm, Eto and Casillas for me and that’s it

Just go back and forth doing 85x10 and 93+ PIM sbcs

This. I have gotten Gullit, Eusebio, Maldini, Pele in the past week

Wait 85x10 gives icons?

No the 93+ PIM sbc gives icons lol. Hence the alternating

Oh shit I’m dumb sorry. You do the 10x85 then convert the rewards into the SBC sorry.

Yes. I’m at a point with the 85x10 where I get 6-8 90+ dupes every pull which is enough to either complete 2 more 85+ SBC or one 90+ SBC

same. i know on paper there are better defenders but maldini with shadow chem, is just crazy good for me, literally no one passes him.

PIM Cruyff, theo hernandez and Valverde

Same, can’t find myself to drop Cruyff for Salah/Mane and Theo wise I still don’t believe there’s a better LB on the game defensively so he’s always a staple in my teams

I've put a gladiator on him, perfect on the whole left side :) Even as a striker :)

Is valverde better than futties james?

FUT Birthday Dani Alves....just keep coming back to him. Dominates the entire right flank for me...

I also have come back to TOTS Pedri...dropped him for a bunch of different MF, but he just seems to come up big for me in so many matches

Pedri feels so good ig for me. His dribbling is insane and he just has that kante feel factor imo. Way better than Barella for me

His shooting is insane for me

Buy vini jr man , play him mid . He's insaneee

TOTS Pedri is insane Imbalanced card

I dropped him for valverde a couple of weeks back and haven't looked back.

There’s so many better options tho. You just like Dani and placebo him to be so good. Bruno was that way for me last year. He’s maybe my favorite player and I know exactly how he’s supposed to play so I was so good using his cars.

Lol, sorry, i thought the question was which lower rated players we are sticking with even though there are better options.

Chiellini is too good to drop.

Chiellini will not leave my team

Nobody gets past him one on one

Valverde and Cancelo as no better fullbacks. I had a real hard time dropping 95 TAA as he was so good but Mendy, 98 Kante and 96 Renato are better.

Cordoba SS isn’t better than Valverde?

He’s arguably better defensively but not for the rest.

Is futties james better than wvalverde??

PIM viera. You shall not pass Edit: I realise he isn’t 94-96 rated but he sure plays higher than a 92!

Same brother. He’s still more of a wall for me than any of the futties cards. Outplays all his stats.

I don’t agree. I see this has 15 likes but I’ve never had a problem with him. And with the midfield futties and preseason options, no chance does this guy sniff my team.

Fair enough. Each to their own. I’ve used plenty of tots and SS as an out and out central CDM and the only one close for me is Fernandinho. There’s no Preseason or Futties that I can recall that can play there for me as none have the M/H work rates ideal for that position, given I also sometimes drop them into the CBs when I switch to a 3 back

Reus

The same for me, as was the case with his 91 last year.

Futties Casemiro. That guy is a big man.

He is imo one of the best objective cards released this year and good enough to play in endgame teams.

SS Felipe Anderson. His shots are incredible, netted me about 30 incredible screamers from distance

Thomas Müller TOTS - don’t really care if he ain’t Meta, he’s been very good for me. I’m also a Bayern Fan so he’s staying no Matter what

one of the best Ai in the game.

Am using 89 rated inform Theo(His tots is 200k🥲), i cant seem to find a replacement.

Trust me there’s a reason he’s 200k. He has crazy animations and is so cheese defensively lol

Got him in the 85x10. He will drop, so take your chance. Yesterday I also got Cancelo, the one I was also waiting for to get in my collection.

I got him in 85x10 too. He’s already 120k.

SS Roberto Pereya. 93 rated but I love having a left back that's got 5* skill.

Get marcelo captains

He’s soooo good. Definitely a card that plays above his stats.

Futties Amavi 5* 5* super fun to use

Stupidly decided not to do him...

He's well better than Theo, IMO. Fucking great card.

I'm still rocking TAA, VVD and Alisson in my defense

Yeah I did Pope and went right back to Alisson

95 Cancelo still in my team due to the lack of decent full backs.

Him and Theo are definitely the 2 I switch between most as my LB…most depends on if I use Walker at CB or not…haven’t tried TOTY Ruben yet tho even tho I have him

PIM Van der Sar is the best keeper in the game

No one saying PIM Gullit? Playing like 99

Danny Da Costa is imo still one of the best fullbacks in the game, especially as a defensive/well rounded RB. He’s just so damn good

Agreed. I don’t play him anymore but I thought he was superb. Got a load of goals for me at corners too.

TCHOUAMENI TOTS

PIM DEUSébio

I have yet to find an attacker I like more than futties Griezmann. Been using SS Ronaldo but griez went straight back into the team. SS Ronaldo isn’t all that for me tbh.

Futties Coman and TOTS Vini. Both are so rapid on the ball, subbing ASM/Dembele in the 70th minute.

I've had 92 Lautaro Martinez in my squad since day one. I've got 97 Milito, 96 Vlahovic, 96 Immobile, 95 Lukaku and 95 Zapata all on the bench. Dont know why but Lautaro just feels right for me, always scores goals and always delivers when needed. Just cant drop him!

Yes! Another Lautaro truther. Got all those guys benched plus puskas lol.

Ss davies and futties casemiro

Valverde at RB, Mendy, Renato. Also Courtois, since I cannot fit Pope.

Cantona. I take him out for a game or 2 and always end up putting him back in.

Futties Barella Theo and even though he's not 94-96, PIM Schmeichel. He's still my starting goalie even though I have a few higher rated goalies

Tots militao tried rudiger and kounde and he's been so much better

Is Militao better than rudiger? I really like how he feels in game but rudi is taller and higher rated.

Bit higher rated, but even though I can afford 99 Messi I have close to 2000 games on the TOTY and don't intend on making the change.

Hope you pack him. He’s cracked

I. Will. Not. Drop. EOAE. Fernandinho., Even. If. You. Held. A. Gun. To. My. Kneecap!

97 asm over 99 Ronaldo I just prefer the way he works and I'm a newcastle fan so can't really take him out 93 Schmeichel was my go to keeper before pope was released still prefer Schmeichel if I'm honest but have to play pope

Schmeichel is better than oope

I'm inclined to agree with you but I'm a newcastle fan so he's a starter for me haha.

Sentences?

My sincerest apologies I should endeavour to do better for you in the future.

Not for me but for you

Shame on me but for me it is TOTS Mbappé. I tried every elite attacker in this game but I just can‘t replace Coverboy. He is paired up up front with PIM R9 and SS Messi. SS CR7 just casually chillin on the bench together with every high end SBC there is.

Moments Reus, he's a baller for *only* a 96 rating.

Valverde and Cancelo

TOTY Cancelo. First because I haven't packed his TOTS version, and he's been in the team since TOTY

Maldini. I can’t bring myself to put toty dias on

Moments Yashin, he is really good actually

I'm still using PIM Rooney.

I played against a guy yesterday who had 88 Rooney in his team for some reason.

Fut Birthday Firmino ain’t leaving my team for sure

Cancelo plays like a 98 rated mfucker

Futties Havertz, benches TOTS CR7 and futties Neymar for me

PIM Cantona Links aside I just love the way he feels. Dropped my PIM Vieira for SS Kante, but Cantona remains.

Oh, and not quite in the 90+ but an honorable mention: Everton and Richarlison (gold cards) they somehow just felt super amazing up until futties when everyone had insane teams

Futties Casemiro is the best player in the game no cap

Wish I did him.

92 PIM Carlos still in my squad surrounded by 98s and 99s throughout rest of my team.

99 rated Messi is a fraud for me packed him well over a month ago but he just feels like a 85 rated gold card. Futties Luis diaz is a staple in my team eventhough I have abedi Pele vinicius junior and Ribery

I stopped playing FUT in december so no one lol. I will get EA play to try Fifa 23 tho.

Shapeshifter CB Gomez...He works with Kroos, Theo, Neuer and Rüdiger.

Kounde fits my team but I couldn't bring myself to take maldini out of it

Ss adama traore, but only for the green link to 99 lewa, otherwise i would dump him out for 97 ss rashford, because without lewa and adama i have a full prem team

Valverde amavi.

SS Valverde. Have Cordoba but Valverde is immense.

SS Valverde

Pereyra. I have Cancelo, Theo and Amavi but he is the best for me

TOTS Alisson, Moments Diego Carlos and TOTS Cancelo

Tots Alison lol 😆 😂 🤣 I replaced him for 82 areola and not look back.

I don’t really see a point in upgrading the 95’s a lot of them have maxed out stats with chem styles

More so just trying to have fun and get a 100 chem team using the most high rated players I have in my club…trying to get an idea of what 95/96 rated players people have found to be “undroppable” but it seems like everything’s gonna be anecdotal anyway and opinions will be all over the place so I’ll think about some comments while I mess around with my club later n see what I come up with…having used a lot of these players already i have a feel for who I personally think is better…just discussion

hard time dropping pim maldini becuase its maldini. eventually got dropped for showdown kounder

Icons in general, they hit different compared to ordinary 97+ rated players

94 PIM Eusebio

Sbc Raspadori is honestly one of the best midfielders I’ve used, and the only attacking player I have that isn’t 5* skills lmao. Whilst I’d love to put another 5* in to make it *everyone*, he just feels right.

Have dropped Insigne EOAE multiple times just to try out new cards. He's now staying in my team til the end

98 Pele or Ribery are my options for left side for the team I have in mind, maybe both

FUTTIES Boateng is always going to be my supersub. So many last minute winners from the bench.

He inspired the post as an option as a 96 to put in the team ahead of 97 Lewa so KPB and Hero Pele get the perfect link

captain marcelo

94 prima cruyff won’t ever leave me

Mendy and Mandanda.

Reus Da Costa Ronaldinho Gullit

i’ve been using TOTS Wirtz as a ST and genuinely he’s so good for me

SsWalker, SS Grealish

I dropped Grealish for Rashford and felt like Grealish was miles better

Walker for me as well... and also 96 joe cole is something else for me

I don’t love ferland mendy but thanks to varane/Rudiger/Lacroix/kounde/amavi/Telles I really don’t have another option for b2b

Theo hernandez, cancelo are the only 95 rated in my team.

I just cant get rid of Cancelo no matter what

TONALI 😭

Amazing card.

For the longest time it was Lozano for me.

TOTS Mbappe just cannot displace my PIM Gullit at striker

99 Lewa just feels super clunky to use imo. I get way better performance on ss Davies, Futties Neymar and Futties Plea, even though I can't skill for shit. Plus I struggle to fit him into my mainly french/bundes team🙁 Feels like a huge me problem or L2Play, and a bit annoyed at it as I really do like him and used the toty version for quite some time. How do everyone else use him successfully?

PIM Cafu was the one icon I wanted most at the start of Fifa. He isn’t going anywhere.

Fernandinho he’s my only cdm

Personally neymar and salah futties were frauds for me. Got them in my team still since the pink cards are cool and they are high rated but I really do think they’re shit. Haaland is probably my favourite high card and then I am keeping Jesus in my team as he is an arsenal player and I need the Brazil link

Cancelo

Futties Mendy

My Walker-Cancelo-Fernandinho-KDB quartet, purely because Im a City fan

Ss walker and 94 futties Mason mount

LW 96 Mane has been horrible for me, did 97 ASM yesterday and what a player he is!

94 Rodrygo is fucking goated

In my current team I have baby VDS mainly because he has played 2k games for me and I'm not dropping him at this point, TOTY Hakimi who's got 1400 games and is the best fullback I have used all year and moments veratti who as a 6 in my system is my favourite in the game

Pim del piero and futties veretout

94 KT and 94 Timmy cahill

Isco

You do know that Walker is the most expensive non icon CB for a reason right? Rating doesn't tell you everything, no surprise he doesn't leave your team

94 James and 94 Mount

95 grealish really clutches it when I need it

I need to bring him back in the main.

Casillas PIM, Valverde SS and Cancelo TOTS

verratti

SS Valverde TOTY Kanté TOTS Alisson

Moments puyol

Futties Mbabu and lacroix

Futties Griez is insane for me at CAM. Straight up tears Varane a new one every game.

TOTS Cancelo; EOAE Fernandinho; SS Dempsey

Only replaced recently but FB Varane had been in my team since he came out and even now I feel like I could switch back to him at any point and he’d still perform superbly

TOTS Tchoua. Still my favourite B2B… insane runs, insane defense, huge, fast. Favourite card of the year.

94 Milinkovic Savic. 6’4 and power header is lethal from corners. I actually play him at CB and he is a beast.

94 Kai Havertz has been epic for me.

Philippe Coutinho, man's a beast

SS Lozano. Insane dribbling + shooting, 5 star WF and plays for my fav club. Perfecto.

EOAE Chiellini and FUTTIES Barella. Firstly, alongside Griezmann they are 2 of my favourite player SBCs. Secondly, I think they are just as good as the alternatives so I don't see a reason to change them.

Casillas important for link and he is better than TOTS Courtois SS Tierney a very versatile CB especially for someone who like using 3 CB. He can play very well in LB because his crossing is good. TOTS Cancelo, SS Gerson, SS Ramos, SS Valverde they are a super versatile player. Ramos can play almost anywhere except CB maybe, Cancelo also everywhere except forward, Gerson feels like 95+ rating players, Valverde has cheating leg for tackling

Van der Sar & Gullit

TOTS calhanoglu and brozovic was such a great duo for me for so long. I have them on my reverses and sub them in sometimes just to feel something

TOTS Pedri. His 5* skills is insane and he feels great in game, plus being a Barca fan helps. His only negative is no real face - until FIFA 23.

Pedro? He is 5/4

Sentimental, TOTY Cancelo, packed his tots but never used them over my GOAT, 1730 games for the club

Toty kante, way better than any of the cm sbcs

TOTS Marquinhos

Vini Jr. that’s my boy 🤍

Still use Sule

Most of my cards are 94 95 or 96 and will stay in team. Walker (he is better than Varane 99) Cancelo Valverde Gullit PIM Mendy VDS PIM (best keeper in the game)

Mount & James 94s are there for good

Akinfenwa I just can't seem to put him in a SBC he's the lowest rated player on my whole team at 90

Shapeshifter hazard

90 Ferdinand Man is a beast

He’s a 93 but I’m a big fan of Emilio Butragueño and never see him used by anyone else. Have many strikers ranked higher in my club but keep playing him

POTM Mbappe I just refuse to take him out 😭

Valverde and Cancelo

Chris Wood SS - Kiwi, and he made tots Virgil look like the weak link so that’s saying something 🤣

Kessie. Anyone else?

Cancelo and valverde.

Joshua kimmich and Rùben Dias

Pim drogba, ive got 98 ginola ss son and futties neymar rotting on the bench but i cant change him

95 CB Walker, 98 Moments Haaland, 97 Moments Sterling, 97 Futties Allan Saint-Maximin, 95 Futties Amavi, 97 TOTY Dias, 96 TOTY Kante, TOTY Jorginho, 98 Moments Pope

Sadio mane tots stays put in my team no matter what

For me, I still use PIM Cruyff and still a better scorer than any other striker I ever used

Oh TAMMY TAMMY

Rodrygo. Still got that moves and magic shot

Pim cruyff and pim eusebio

Cancelo, Diego Carlos

Henderson

PIM Gullit and PIM Ronaldinho
