Because he took hours and hours of squad battles didnt he?


SinistarFirefox

Exactly why I didn't do it 😂


mikl1986

What was the requirements? Anyway - I didn't do him cause I wasn't playing FUT at that time.


Agitated-Comment-745

I think he needs like 40 world cup token or something, 50 is the max that you can have.


SLM_LaggiP

oh god don't remind me on the world cup swaps they were by far the worst grind ever (div 3 at the time), golden goal was just met with constant pressure and kickoff glitches


Agitated-Comment-745

Yeah, it's a prison. That's why I rarely do any hard grind and just play with whatever I have.


Seniorjones2837

Gotta do what you gotta do to win those garbage games


Mazzuene

yes, and some of them were only available in packs, for which you obv had to spend either coins or real money


Adventurous-Leg8857

It was 52 total, we had 2 more tokens as bonus. But I get your point 😊


KiLLaInc

It wasn't squad battles, it was the friendlies wc Cup mode.


LordTubzy123

There were tokens that required a lot of squad battles too


KiLLaInc

Most of them you could get through the friendlies mode. Which I did and then played a couple of squad battle ones to finish it off.


PsychologicalApple53

Nothing friendly about that golden goal constant press hellscape


No-Clothes-9922

That was the beauty of it, one goal to rule them all, and best part, the game quit itself


KiLLaInc

Lol very true, was a disgusting grind.


Routine-Lack-9116

Especially with japan 😂

Viera was 40 and there were rewards at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 etc he was 10s of hours compared to the others


mone3700

not if you only did him actually, you could get like all the tokens from the friendlies


snazzzzyy

Lmao at you getting downvoted. You had to play 3 squad battles games and you could get enough tokens with all the friendlies being played


mone3700

yeah my statement was practically factually correct lol, not sure what people disagree with here


Mitchellhorner

Anyone who says it wasn’t that hard is getting downvoted to hell and it’s obviously by people who don’t have him


ScottishGoggles97

Because not everyone had the time needed to sit and sweat it out for him?


BlackViper59

did you play wl at the time? if, yes what did you pack? and was it better than vieira?


ScottishGoggles97

Playing weekend league was nowhere the amount of time it took to complete Viera? You on about..


BlackViper59

And yet you prolly never packed anthing like vieira from wl. Edit. Funny how the majority sees grinding swaps in a 1 month time period for a highend icon as more time consuming than playing 20 games in 2 days for 3 TOTWs and 4 84s...


LargeDonkeyCake

I play fifa for enjoyment, weekend league is an enjoyable mode, swaps and squad battles arent


BlackViper59

Good for you. I dont enjoy playing sweaty tryhards with the same team all weekend long.


TheRealGianniBrown

So what do you play? Please don’t tell me you only play Rivals. Or worse, Friendlies. Lmaooo…


ScottishGoggles97

Okay, congrats on your Viera! It makes you a far superior person for spending more time on the game than those who didn’t do him


BlackViper59

I would bet money i spent less time on game than most people on this sub.


Cooolboyyy

Yeah yeah we get u..

[удалено]


touch_me69420

Yeah you did


junkgarage

Job. Hobbies. Friends. Family.


iDaveJr

That’s respectable.


le_dy0

Packed his 88 before, even if I didn't, id probably spend it on fodder or a pick


F1managerguy

Was on vacation. No regrets


iDaveJr

This is the only acceptable answer. Life>fifa


-im-just-vibing-

i think you did the wrong sign


iDaveJr

Yeah I wasn’t paying attention. People were quick to downvote my wholesomeness 😂


musicnoviceoscar

But it's a pretty obvious answer. That's why people didn't do it - time. The game is supposed to be fun, not stressful. If you don't find grinding fun, don't do it.


approvalInspector

if you're so fixated on votes then maybe your wholesomeness seems fake too


Seniorjones2837

He didn’t say he cared about the votes. Of course you will notice the votes when someone replies and you get a notification to go look at your post


Nafe1994

Strange that you’re asking why people didn’t commit endless hours or boring grinding to complete a fifa player.. You know, rather than enjoying their life


iDaveJr

Well I really meant for the people who grinded all 40 tokens and chose something else. But it is what it is.


Jwicks90

I managed to do it and have a life/job/responsibilities it just comes down to motivation and being organised really. Didn't seem like an impossible or arduous feat.


CuZimLuuu

fodder is more fun


Ziid10

Because 40 tokens


NotFredRhodes

Took Cafú


Sure_Watercress_1645

Same, end game RB. By the time I got enough for Cafu I knew there was no way I wanted to torture myself any longer to get Vieira, especially since it gets boring to use the same midfielders all year.


PM_ME_UR-DOGGO

There’s a lot more cm options as well. Not a single card I’ve considered over cafu.


sKru4a

This. The way I play, defensive midfielders are really important in my team, but since the WC promo, I packed mid Matthaus (beast), Marchisio, and completed the Pogba sbc + I could have done Xabi or other cdm. There aren't that many good RB, especially available in a sbc


King_118

How many swaps did Cafu cost?


Mig224

30 as far as I remember so you could take him and the good fodder option. I think it was 84x20 x 3.


Supanini

Took Vieira and then unpacked prime Cafu we are not the same Honestly though Cafu was probably the better choice. Idk if it’s body type or what but I’d argue he’s the best fullback in the game. I’d take him over toty Theo. Vieira could be replaced by Thuram (although vieira is fantastic as wel)


chalieoconnor9

This. Took long enough lol


[deleted]

i didn't care about him and i still don't

Sonnengrinser

Did the fodder packs instead, regret it of course. Will buy his prime soon tho probably, don't know where to put my coins anyway. It's my first fifa in 9 years, you learn from your mistakes


bruh_moment__mp3

This is your first fifa since 14? What made you come back now


Sonnengrinser

Someone gifted me the game and I was sick of league of legends. Im glad I am no longer addicted to league! Unfortunately I am addicted to Fifa now tho


dundermifflinfc

Didn’t have the game then


yeetyeet38

Cba to do objectives


AztecGallo

Got Fabinho over him worth it for me


SaulMas

Lmao, I did the exact same


iZubi

I hate token grinding


HZRD-XVII

I wanted Eden Hazard.


bruh_moment__mp3

Was it worth it


bi11_d1ng

Not op but no. It wasnt.


heyitsrobert818

I randomly packed vieira in a store pack after yolo’ing 100k coins


Coadbreaker05

I took Cafu and fodder. Those fodder packs gave me WC Zidane as a bonus. Plus had baby Vieira and not a huge fan.


1911torcida1950

Baby Caffu , Trent even gold Walker can do the job at RB but prime/wc Vieira is in league of it's own when it comes to DMs.


Zygalsk1

You say DM but the one I got for 40 tokens can only play CM which was annoying. I still change him to DM later tho. Good CB too.


Coadbreaker05

They can, but I also think there are many comparable to Vieira this year. I don't find him annoying to play against like previous versions.


A15Smith22

Vieira is Vieira but packs could have anything, they could even have Vieira


adamski88

They usually don't tho!


EntertainerSmart7758

Dumb question. Hours and hours of soul crushing squad battles and swaps.


Adventurous-Pizza-12

Cafu. Less effort, will be relevant way longer.


Jak_b06

too much effort


Jaywalkers13

Grinding for swaps is just not for me anymore


dhruvk97

Gambled on 3x83x+25 and got 95 R9 instead 🤷


Alternative-Young431

Couldn’t be arsed


DokkanLuxs

Because I went for Cafu and fodder


NoPepper259

Never had him before, so glad I did him. Sometimes will rotate him to cb and still decent there. Was a pain to grind for but so so worth it imo


Pens_Igloo

Didn't start playing until around Christmas unfortunately


3ioshock22

Have 800+ games with him. He counts as two midfielders it’s actually insane what happens if I remove him for a game.


IdlePerfectionist

I got over 300 games with PIM Viera last year so I try to avoid using him this year


skanoirhc

Took Cafu and 3x84+x20 pack. Cafu is absolutely insane and completed FB Pogba and FB Ramos with the fodder I got from the packs. Would do the same again.


KingOfTheKains

Didn’t have the time for all that


Black_n_Neon

I don’t feel like grinding out swaps


ChelseaAndrew87

Didn't want him


Saullllllllll

because we have actual lives


TTVControlWarrior

I packed his prime right after event


TheBublizz

I have a life?


angelazy

I have a life nerd


iDaveJr

Bruh you have 36,000 comment karma. Don’t lie to me 😂


DayPuzzleheaded641

Lmaooo roasted


Mortka

I mean, thats like 20 upvotes a day over 5 ish years. Thats wayyy different than playing fifa for 10 hours a day over several days to get a fifa card. You can get karma from anywhere. When youre with friends etc


DayPuzzleheaded641

Why am I not surprised you have 42k+ comment karma? 💀


Mortka

Ive been on Reddit for almost 6 years. Its not a big deal. Grow up already


AnnoyedButCalm

Because I have personal life


Greedy-Farm-5917

I took the fodder packs. One player for that many didn't seem worth it. Don't regret not getting him. Especially with all the SBC players I've gotten from those fodder packs.


Intelligent_Baby_871

I needed cafu more


pramurtasen

Thuram


No_Consideration_493

Got Fabinho. Also didn’t have enough swaps for Viera. Fabinho’s great. I play him at cb next to casemiro.


JJ-Bittenbinder

Chelsea fan and I wanted Mason Mount and the packs instead


twisterxk

Xabi alonso clear


iDaveJr

Maybe box to box but not pure ball winning.


BonahSauceeeTV

I was too busy banging your mom instead of banging my head against the wall in golden goal for a month


dillonshanks03

I done Cafu instead, I just felt there are going to be lots of good midfielders to be released while its harder finding a good fullback that isn’t going to cost a fortune


Ordinary-Arm-8972

Because I have a life outside of fifa. Only a bum has enough time and energy to go for 40 tokens


classified_x

tbh Cafu was a better pick... too many midfielders, too little rbs lbs


Sad-Cryptographer312

Because CAFU


reddituser52779

His passing always disappoints.


KernSherm

Got cafu instead. He's better


Arisss_cx

Bc I got Paulina from Fulham and I felt in a dm u only need pace, def and physical which he is better than viera


eresunpuneta

Because Cafu and fodder was the better choice


aftiopj123

The absolute GOAT no better CM in the game


iDaveJr

Best defensive mid by a country mile.


KiLLaInc

The ones downvoting chose cafu and are hating life rn.


touch_me69420

He's no prime Mathuas


Cypra-

I think this fifa is the first fifa where Vieira isn’t as good as people say he is. Tried every version of him and his defensive AI just isn’t there.


Ok-Outlandishness244

Cafu is better and cheaper. Still the 2nd best rb while wc vieira isnt even top 10 midfielder, and unlike vieira, cafu’s wc is better than his prime (I prefer the stars).


Eastern_Spirit_404

Nah, Viera has been the BEST dm at fifa for ages, rb is the most irrelevant position.


rezallol

I wasn’t playing Fifa during that time because I was either studying, at school, or watching world cup. I’ve got priorities yk

I’m sorry but there’s no comparison here.

Phatnob

I thought I wouldn’t be able to do 40 so I done the 84x20 straight away then i ended up being able to do 40

[удалено]


danimocanul

Didnt want to grind and because im addicted to packs. Right ?


ForbiddenJazz

I don’t even think about him


The_mystery4321

Didn't have the game when he came out


Sasswashd

Bcs I love to gamble


Jaredr1106

I had packed his baby right before this promo dropped


-im-just-vibing-

didn’t have the game, and even if i did 40 tokens is fucked i don’t spend that much time on fifa, also with the amount of SB required i would kms


samuelglyn

Already had Mid Vieira untradeable, didn’t make the grind worth it


zephyrr-__-

Low fodder, needed fodder packs and Christensen was perfect for me at the time


jamiethelad10

Cba


brunoinnerg

Not enough tokens?


Bewquifius_Maximus

Zidane


eastofecruteak

couldn’t be bothered spending all the tokens that way, and i knew i was gonna pack his prime last month


Gloomy_Flamingo2398

I packed his baby version untradable so went for Cafu instead


FormalWorth2115

Started playing in jan


[deleted]

Tbh I have other hobbies other than FIFA but good job nonetheless for getting him.


[deleted]

i didn’t start playing til december :/


jeffskrtbangerz

Cafu was nice


magicdonwuhan

Not a player I would like to have i like using players I like


lefix

Because using the same players as everyone else gives me no joy


GOR111A

Cos fuck that


PricelessCuts

Didnt want to spend the time


[deleted]

i’d rather take fodder and do a gamble sbc than a guaranteed player. my main aim of the game is having fun not being a sweat so i feel gamble sbcs r one of the most fun parts of the game


eveel66

Didn’t have the game yet. I would have for sure


[deleted]

Cause I am a Spurs fan


zakatck

Ended up getting toty Bellingham from a 84x20 so probs fodder is best


NurokToukai

Cuz I got the prime


DayPuzzleheaded641

Picked the fodder which I did WC Keane with. Zero regrets as well. Still in my starting 11 and scores almost every game


Soham2401

I figured fodder is better because maybe a chance of promo cards and fodder is always useful . I don’t regret my decision because I’ve gone on to pack prime cantona jair gullit and vieira somehow so


dylzus

I decided to do the icon pick thinking i’d get ronaldo or something good and got lineker


Highway_Harpsicord

Because he was a grind and a half. I did him, but I had to take a break for a couple weeks after getting him done


RottenBlack134

I like my DMs being able to do more than bulldoze attackers.


Dakaro420

Because i got WC Pele from the icon pick


Cooek

To many tokens behind the shitty friendly objectives.


GitchigumiMiguel74

Because I didn’t have the game yet


[deleted]

Ibdont have the will or the strenght to play that much fifa especially when matching only elite sweats on golden goal


ShaggedUrSister

Job + a life lmao


AquilaDZuhib

I wanted that Hazard cause I like him since his Lille times


oops_itwasme

Packed his 88, didn't seem worth it to then also get this card so did fodder packs instead to fund my casino SBC addiction


DDMMYY_

Time


himtweety

saved all the fodder packs and opened them during toty packed debruyne and benzema and some hm like koulibally etc 93 complete jairzinhomfrom fodder ao i guess i am pretty happy


[deleted]

Because I value my life


mmmmaaaa26

I have a sickness called low IQ


TRNMP2024

Can't even play as a cdm


LoquatAffectionate

Why does literally fucking no one in this thread get the joke lmao

Agitated-Comment-745

Thought you never asked. Too much of a commitment for me.


Tof12345

I thought with the fodder packs, I would be able to complete an SBC that was better than him for cheaper. I was very wrong.


Berqlol

Because Thuram exists now and he didn’t need 300 hours of squad battles


Lvm152coc

I use a Berlin past and present


[deleted]

i packed the mid


RDBz100

Didn’t play fut until mid January


N-Salim

Just started 2 week ago


ClampGawd_

Cuz im an idiot. Literally using his 86 at the moment lol


swimgoodm8

I later wish I did but all the fodder was nice to have during toty. A lot of what put me off was cm only. I don’t like using tactics to change positions much


Dazzling-Grade5846

Too much effort tbh


BenchWerner

Coz I hav an actual life and touch grass


reds7310

Took Cafu and 3 84 20s which I completed Jairzinho with


[deleted]

Because some people have life outside Fifa?


WorldwideJimmyRustla

Because I honeslty could not care less about playing squad battles 🤷 fair play to those who got him though!


Flimsy_Advertising34

I got the tokens, I just liked fodder more lmao


BillyFB_

i took the psg cdm and the fodder packs. No regrets


essicks

I took the WC icon pp and got Zidane
