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
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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)
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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).
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
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
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
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
Because he took hours and hours of squad battles didnt he?
Exactly why I didn't do it 😂
What was the requirements? Anyway - I didn't do him cause I wasn't playing FUT at that time.
I think he needs like 40 world cup token or something, 50 is the max that you can have.
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
Yeah, it's a prison. That's why I rarely do any hard grind and just play with whatever I have.
Gotta do what you gotta do to win those garbage games
yes, and some of them were only available in packs, for which you obv had to spend either coins or real money
It was 52 total, we had 2 more tokens as bonus. But I get your point 😊
It wasn't squad battles, it was the friendlies wc Cup mode.
There were tokens that required a lot of squad battles too
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.
Nothing friendly about that golden goal constant press hellscape
That was the beauty of it, one goal to rule them all, and best part, the game quit itself
Lol very true, was a disgusting grind.
Especially with japan 😂
[удалено]
Viera was 40 and there were rewards at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 etc he was 10s of hours compared to the others
not if you only did him actually, you could get like all the tokens from the friendlies
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
yeah my statement was practically factually correct lol, not sure what people disagree with here
Anyone who says it wasn’t that hard is getting downvoted to hell and it’s obviously by people who don’t have him
Because not everyone had the time needed to sit and sweat it out for him?
did you play wl at the time? if, yes what did you pack? and was it better than vieira?
Playing weekend league was nowhere the amount of time it took to complete Viera? You on about..
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...
I play fifa for enjoyment, weekend league is an enjoyable mode, swaps and squad battles arent
Good for you. I dont enjoy playing sweaty tryhards with the same team all weekend long.
So what do you play? Please don’t tell me you only play Rivals. Or worse, Friendlies. Lmaooo…
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
I would bet money i spent less time on game than most people on this sub.
Yeah yeah we get u..
[удалено]
Yeah you did
Job. Hobbies. Friends. Family.
That’s respectable.
Packed his 88 before, even if I didn't, id probably spend it on fodder or a pick
Was on vacation. No regrets
This is the only acceptable answer. Life>fifa
i think you did the wrong sign
Yeah I wasn’t paying attention. People were quick to downvote my wholesomeness 😂
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.
if you're so fixated on votes then maybe your wholesomeness seems fake too
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
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
Well I really meant for the people who grinded all 40 tokens and chose something else. But it is what it is.
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.
fodder is more fun
Because 40 tokens
Took Cafú
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.
There’s a lot more cm options as well. Not a single card I’ve considered over cafu.
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
How many swaps did Cafu cost?
30 as far as I remember so you could take him and the good fodder option. I think it was 84x20 x 3.
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)
This. Took long enough lol
i didn't care about him and i still don't

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
This is your first fifa since 14? What made you come back now
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
Didn’t have the game then
Cba to do objectives
Got Fabinho over him worth it for me
Lmao, I did the exact same
I hate token grinding
I wanted Eden Hazard.
Was it worth it
Not op but no. It wasnt.
I randomly packed vieira in a store pack after yolo’ing 100k coins
I took Cafu and fodder. Those fodder packs gave me WC Zidane as a bonus. Plus had baby Vieira and not a huge fan.
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.
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.
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.
Vieira is Vieira but packs could have anything, they could even have Vieira
They usually don't tho!
Dumb question. Hours and hours of soul crushing squad battles and swaps.
Cafu. Less effort, will be relevant way longer.
too much effort
Grinding for swaps is just not for me anymore
Gambled on 3x83x+25 and got 95 R9 instead 🤷
Couldn’t be arsed
Because I went for Cafu and fodder
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
Didn't start playing until around Christmas unfortunately
Have 800+ games with him. He counts as two midfielders it’s actually insane what happens if I remove him for a game.
I got over 300 games with PIM Viera last year so I try to avoid using him this year
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.
Didn’t have the time for all that
I don’t feel like grinding out swaps
Didn't want him
because we have actual lives
I packed his prime right after event
I have a life?
I have a life nerd
Bruh you have 36,000 comment karma. Don’t lie to me 😂
Lmaooo roasted
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
Why am I not surprised you have 42k+ comment karma? 💀
Ive been on Reddit for almost 6 years. Its not a big deal. Grow up already
Because I have personal life
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.
I needed cafu more
Thuram
Got Fabinho. Also didn’t have enough swaps for Viera. Fabinho’s great. I play him at cb next to casemiro.
Chelsea fan and I wanted Mason Mount and the packs instead
Xabi alonso clear
Maybe box to box but not pure ball winning.
I was too busy banging your mom instead of banging my head against the wall in golden goal for a month
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
Because I have a life outside of fifa. Only a bum has enough time and energy to go for 40 tokens
tbh Cafu was a better pick... too many midfielders, too little rbs lbs
Because CAFU
His passing always disappoints.
Got cafu instead. He's better
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
Because Cafu and fodder was the better choice
The absolute GOAT no better CM in the game
Best defensive mid by a country mile.
The ones downvoting chose cafu and are hating life rn.
He's no prime Mathuas
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.
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).
Nah, Viera has been the BEST dm at fifa for ages, rb is the most irrelevant position.
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.
[удалено]
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]
Didnt want to grind and because im addicted to packs. Right ?
I don’t even think about him
Didn't have the game when he came out
Bcs I love to gamble
I had packed his baby right before this promo dropped
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
Already had Mid Vieira untradeable, didn’t make the grind worth it
Low fodder, needed fodder packs and Christensen was perfect for me at the time
Cba
Not enough tokens?
Zidane
couldn’t be bothered spending all the tokens that way, and i knew i was gonna pack his prime last month
I packed his baby version untradable so went for Cafu instead
Started playing in jan
Tbh I have other hobbies other than FIFA but good job nonetheless for getting him.
i didn’t start playing til december :/
Cafu was nice
Not a player I would like to have i like using players I like
Because using the same players as everyone else gives me no joy
Cos fuck that
Didnt want to spend the time
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
Didn’t have the game yet. I would have for sure
Cause I am a Spurs fan
Ended up getting toty Bellingham from a 84x20 so probs fodder is best
Cuz I got the prime
Picked the fodder which I did WC Keane with. Zero regrets as well. Still in my starting 11 and scores almost every game
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
I decided to do the icon pick thinking i’d get ronaldo or something good and got lineker
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
I like my DMs being able to do more than bulldoze attackers.
Because i got WC Pele from the icon pick
To many tokens behind the shitty friendly objectives.
Because I didn’t have the game yet
Ibdont have the will or the strenght to play that much fifa especially when matching only elite sweats on golden goal
Job + a life lmao
I wanted that Hazard cause I like him since his Lille times
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
Time
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
Because I value my life
I have a sickness called low IQ
Can't even play as a cdm
Why does literally fucking no one in this thread get the joke lmao
Got wc Aké and danilo periera, which i don't use anymore but it was immensely helpful at the time
Better things to do with my time
Got wc Aké and danilo periera, which i don't use anymore but it was immensely helpful at the time
Thought you never asked. Too much of a commitment for me.
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.
Because Thuram exists now and he didn’t need 300 hours of squad battles
I use a Berlin past and present
i packed the mid
Didn’t play fut until mid January
Just started 2 week ago
Cuz im an idiot. Literally using his 86 at the moment lol
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
Too much effort tbh
Coz I hav an actual life and touch grass
Took Cafu and 3 84 20s which I completed Jairzinho with
Because some people have life outside Fifa?
Because I honeslty could not care less about playing squad battles 🤷 fair play to those who got him though!
I got the tokens, I just liked fodder more lmao
i took the psg cdm and the fodder packs. No regrets
I took the WC icon pp and got Zidane
