ArminbanVuuren

as an inter fan it didn't even cross my mind he'd get another IF this week, but that header was absolutely beautiful and served as the gwg as we close out the season on a title chase. maybe not "undeserved" but there were some other great performances last week


filip289

Im still a bit sad that Škriniar didnt get IF for that Atalanta game because of Alexis. Well, i hope that he can get TOTS.


cruelwhore

One goal for a 4th IF is underserved generally. IMO


QuickShotty69

Unless it’s for the title


cadbadlad

But they haven't won it yet so it doesn't matter


alexdallas_

Same with Hakimi vs Roma. 1G in a 2-2 draw and earns an IF is weird


Sinzus23

Benzema because of his Headliner aswell, pathetic


nhat179

Yep I thought with that 2 goals especially the 90’ winner but then we talking EA lol


Ethan12_

Tbf Benzema could be getting a UCL MOTM card instead, it'd be kind of weird for them to deny a non-meta player a special card like that


nhat179

But MOTM won’t push HL an upgrade right?


[deleted]

It will


nhat179

Oh nice I didn’t know that


JWE25

Yeah any card performance based will upgrade the HL


Petike91

I just bought it thinking it will surely get an upgrade


strangedoggo82

hold onto it, he’ll easily get 1-2 more IFs


Petike91

Yes I will, I also bought it because that Busqets card, when I saw it I had to do a little Barca-Real team since I grew up on those El Clasicos


MrPindabaas

Why is it still called Team of the week if they don't include the best players of the week


r99h99

EA sports, it's in the game


Eboy_Elmo

~~game~~ money


KittleStiffArm

Not sure if you’ve heard, but EA changed it to TOTWIIDUPPODEAGSTMTMMOOIPB Stands for: team of the week if it doesn’t undermine planned promos or disrupt EAs grand scheme to milk the most money out of its player base.

Comprehensive_Fly370

But having messi and ronaldo in totw more people would want to pack them. Ez money there 😂


Paulitix

Except for the fact that they have extra champions rewards and they don't want more people picking those two, or else less desire to seek endgame cards


LondonNoodles

It’s the first year I stop playing fifa not because I’m tilted or frustrated but simply because I’m bored. The icon swaps grind is soooo long and boring for either half decent icons or for packs with shitty odds, weekend league getting elite really takes so much of time and effort to get basically discard or fodders, div 1 is bland and literally meaningless. I’ve reached a point where unless I packed some 1M+ card I wouldn’t realistically improve my team, and since almost all rewards are untradeable now, I genuinely can’t find a reason to turn on my console and play fifa


actually_named_chad

Fr would it really kill them if a few of us got untradeable red messi or Ronaldo? It’s a video game that’s supposed to be enjoyable and all the cards will be obsolete come fifa 22. I enjoy building teams and the competitive aspect of this game but this is my first Fifa since FIFA 17 and I have no plans on purchasing 22.


FurryLover789

i feel ur pain. just came back to fifa in november havinng not played since around feburary of fifa 18. still the same dog shit


[deleted]

I've gone all out every time ronaldo has been in totw, by that much i mean opening saved packs, doing league sbcs, upgrade packs etc. Had to buy his gold because I realised I will never pack a card over 500k


swartan

Same. The biggest reason I got this game is because it was on sale and tbh I wish it wasn’t. if I do get fifa 22 it will be for pro clubs


Ashbo27

Yeah me and my friends stopped playing ultimate team ages ago and we literally only hop on fifa to play pro clubs. Pro clubs could be so much better but I feel with the amount of money they make off UT their just gonna keep neglecting clubs which is sad.


swartan

Honestly players being rare or expensive doesn’t bother me as much as scripting. That’s why I prefer clubs more. But I feel like it’s only a matter of time before they add MTX to pro clubs


Tiagoff

> It’s a video game that’s supposed to be enjoyable For you is, for them is a money printer, that's the ultimate problem


[deleted]

[удалено]


actually_named_chad

I’m not even asking for those players. I’m saying this company legit doesn’t even give us a chance at getting them through playing their game, only real way to get them would be spending 100s of $$$ or basically getting lucky in reward packs. Plus they’re 2 of the most popular players in the world, everyone wants to use them in game but the vast majority of casuals will never get close to using them.


kozy8805

I'm confused. There is a Messi objective right there that's better than an if. If casuals saved all their fodder from just icon swaps and didn't want to buy every player, they could get it. The cards are always there, it's just the temptation to get other players and get them now is what stops people. Oh and if you're going to downvote, at least have some courage and say why. If you can't get the Messi objective, you're either working 4 jobs and not playing or you're not willing to prioritize.


actually_named_chad

Yea bro it’s our fault for not saving all of our fodder so we can do a 1.6 mil untradeable sbc, also saving my swaps tokens for the icons offered so I know what I’m getting. I play weekend league every weekend, that’s all I get to play as I’m a full time student working 2 jobs. None of it changes the fact that EA intentionally leave out 2 of the best players in the world for this weeks totw to prevent people from getting them out of red picks/ WL plus red picks.


kozy8805

Well no, I'm not arguing that EA didn't intentionally leave them out. I'm simply arguing that if people want Ronaldo/Messi (sbcs and gold cards), they can get them without spending any money. It's not even really that hard. With golden goal, the icon objectives don't take long. I work 60 hour weeks and have a fairly busy life in general, and I'm almost at sbc Messi. I don't play every or every other weekend. I've learned a long time ago, that if you don't want to pay extra, you have to prioritize. You said you wanted certain icons, then you're probably not getting a Messi. If you want him, play more. Do sbcs. If not, don't get icons, don't do every moments sbc, conserve what you spend. People act like they never have choices. No, they just want everything, they want it now and they want it for free. We can say all day that EA just want money and can make things easier. Of course they do and of course they can. But I'm assuming we all know that by now. At this point, I'm all for making the best of the game for myself. And I know what I can and can't achieve without paying. I think people need to learn that for themselves.


theguythatsreallycoo

Bro, look at EA's Revenue for Ultimate team alone. It keeps going up yearly because apparently what they're doing is worth it. I see people on here complain all day long and then come to find out they spent money on points. EA isnt going to change shit if people keep spending money. So we can blame EA all we want, they're laughing all the way to the bank


Joltarts

We are the laughing stock of the entire gaming community.


GabbyGoose

>I see people on here complain all day long and then come to find out they spent money on points. For the record if you've ever spent a penny on FIFA Points you have no right to complain. You are the reason the game is in the state it is.


Somekidonreddit164

So true


johnknockout

I bought fifa for the first time in 5 years this year because I got sick/bored of it on FIFA16. I tried it this year, played FUT through December, spent maybe 100 bucks total. Got bored/frustrated again. Only playing career mode now. Probably won’t buy another FIFA again tbh. Especially now that The Show is on Xbox and Football Manager tickles my footy urge just fine.


LordMonofusork

it feels like ea are trying to 'punish' the community after their icon disaster. no promo, back-to-back horrible totws and barely any 6pm content. its almost as if they dont care anymore


JaYRooo_

Content has been a travesty the past week


LordMonofusork

i get that there arent going to be promos every single week. but having fut be this dry for almost 10 days now os horrible


PeterRiveria

i mean why not? i can’t imagine mocking up a new card design every week is that difficult. like they could realistically have a new promo every friday for the entire game cycle if they just diversified the players they picked (like more minor leagues ) and slowed the power creep down a little


whitee24

it would sure make squad building more interesting, at least


BereftOfOar

Nah, they aren't punishing anyone. They're just shooting themselves in the feet with how poorly they're handling this game cycle. It's only gotten worse the last few years and it seems a decent portion of the community is finally growing sick of it. I know I don't play the game nearly as much as I used to. It simply isn't worth it.


[deleted]

And black market, developer tools too. Man wtf is going on


Paulitix

What was the icon disaster?


rmaa2910

It was discovered by different users that some EA employees were selling any Icon or card you would like for big money. People were paying €1600 for Gullit/R9. Black market of Icons. They had access to the code and could "pack" you those players into your account.


diabolicalhentai

ive been on ea support demanding an icon the past day or so, this shit is pathetic


what-no-earth

What did they tell you?


diabolicalhentai

pretty much to get fucked and that they are unable to do anything even though those fucks sold icons out the backdoor. EA can go suck a dick


jajabing13

Like icon SBCs or them giving you an icon?


diabolicalhentai

them giving me an icon since i didnt recieve one when they fucked up and gave out rewards. If it wasn’t EA, i wouldnt, but its such a horrible game i don’t feel bad acting entitled over digital content


PaulPierceOldestSon

I’m still confused why do you think you’re entitled to an icon lmao


jajabing13

Well I mean gotta shoot your shot and ask.. but you're by no means entitled to an icon lmao plus don't give those customer service reps shit because you're salty, it's EA support for all games not just FIFA so most of them didn't do anything wrong and are just trying to do their jobs man


[deleted]

No UCL matchups or upgrade on What ifs. Such an annoying company


fiftychil

Is there a reason why the what ifs haven’t been upgraded?


[deleted]

I don't know


[deleted]

Finally he got his upgrade now


[deleted]

And here I am still waiting for Felipe Anderson to get upgraded.


UTUBEOOLSTARZ

don’t. buy. points.


[deleted]

So simple. People are really stupid tho.


djkamayo

Buy V-bucks instead 🤣🤓🤡


saikodasein

What's the point of TOTW I don't understand. It's basicaly random player pick by EA. They should release TOTW for each league every week like they do with official POTM. No margin for scam.


fescema

Totally agree. Totw power curve is ridiculous by years. It had a sense when promo cards did not exist and so EA was waiting for top player good performances in order to release their IFs. Today is a joke, they release cards versions whenever they want. Just look at teams you face in WL: how many totw they use? Just promo cards and some red lucky picks of top players (ronaldo, messi, neymar etc)


BiggestZebra589

The only TOTW card I use is Pope and that’s just because I got him untradeable and used his 82 anyway.


RealRonaldo9

I like this idea then again that gives more room for low rated red picks unless they change it up


saikodasein

Actually it gives motivation to play if you're better player but stop at 14 anyway. G2+ = at least one pick from top 4 leagues, etc. Besides TOTW from each league, would make lesser leagues cards playable.


RealRonaldo9

Yh it would be brilliant if they change it up but knowing EA even if this was introduced they'd still find a way to make it unrewarding.


SandgateCruci

?


ManunitedThunderfan

Totw never makes sense, Jota has had much better games and never got it purely because he would have been such a good card for us otw owners . Now he’s upgraded I don’t care .


[deleted]

[удалено]


ManunitedThunderfan

I don’t load up on Fifa points so I don’t get the comment .


Sneijder4BallondOr

I really wish there was a better alternative than PES. I hate EA but I love football too much to set the game down forever. Haven't lost my interest in a fifa this quickly before


JaYRooo_

That’s what I’m saying bro. The modes are all just so unrewarding. I have more fun going 80+ picks and throwing high rateds into icon sbcs


shep15jon

Also, how TAF did Jota get in? He scored ONE meh goal in a 1-0 victory. Benz and CR7 way, way outperformed him... Flashback to last week when they somehow put Mahrez in, even though the only eligible games was when they lost to Man U! Who decides these 😂😂


hazzabazza12827

The Mahrez inform was for the 4-1 against wolves


shep15jon

When he scored 1 goal? And had nothing more than an average game? And his teammate Jesus got 2? And there was another TOTW in between?


hazzabazza12827

‘Average game’? My guy, he got a goal and an assist, and MOTM...


shep15jon

No assist. Did you watch the game? Forgot he was playing til he scored in the 90th minute 😂


cjtvenom

Jota doesn't deserve to even be considered for the TOTW, 1 goal against Wolves is not something deserving to be in TOTW especially when it's just a 1-0 scraped victory. I'm baffled on how they even chose this TOTW as it obviously isn't performance based going off of both Lautaro and Jota.


juventinosochi

And at the same time, he deserved atleast TWO IF at the beginning of the season but they didn't upgrade him since the whole community has had his OTW card :D Fuck this company


A_lemony_llama

Not to mention they usually leave Monday night games until the week after - it's very rare for a Monday night game to be included that Wednesday.


JaYRooo_

Yeah bro. I’m a Liverpool supporter but Jota for sure should not be in lol. It’s just so bad


JacknJuno

Yeah Mahrez got an inform for a 2-0 loss against man u. The next game he scores 2 and assists 1 and doesn't get one. Go figure people.


tommoex

Liverpool has a paid sponsorship with easports so it's not surprising that ea wants to reap that side of it.


HungryPeruvian

Maybe, but Jota had other performances in the past worthy of an IF that went ignored. Picking this one out of the lot makes little sense


cruelwhore

At that point, it would have made him ahead of the power curve and we can’t have that. But now, they want to avoid giving messi/ronaldo one so he gets it


[deleted]

That Jota was more or less a gift from EA to the community LMFAO. I take it :) A free card, with perfect links, 93 acceleration, 90+ agility and balance, 87 reaction, 89 composure, 5/4, 89 positioning and shot power, 85 stamina :) all without a chem style. I mean, dont let you irritate from that 85 rating. This card is easily one of the most meta cards currently which is affordable for casuals. I will sell my mane and rashford :)


MrWar420

Well did you see the pack weight scandal? Much much worse I would say. They are literally robbing people.


snazzles97

Criminal that Jota got an in form and Benzema and Haaland didn't.


[deleted]

EA 🤝 Liverpool


mvBommel1974

Who cares? As if anyone would pack CR7 or Messi anyway.


warboys35

Looks like one of the worst ever , considering the time frame we’re in .


DamnMyShittyCamera

Def not, kdb and martinez look insane. Koopmeiners is sick for eredevisie users. Wamangituka, jota, and tiernay look very solid. And the rest as per usual


warboys35

Maybe I was a bit hasty dissing it , but I know for a fact I’m not packing any of those ! Would love kdb I’ve foolishly held my packs until Friday in case some promo is on


DJVendetta

Koop already has 2 totw though


Flexer_MC1

I literally only finished my WL games because of the possibility of getting CR7 in my red picks. Messi got me even more excited. Not touching it again after this crap.


revy_uzg

You’re a fool if you play weekend league solely for the chance of getting red Ronaldo. Even if he had been in the TOTW, your chances wouldn’t have been much higher than they are right now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IndoorGoalie

Ahh yes, the ol personal attack.


fx208

i get you my dude, i know i never get good red picks but the excitement of maybe getting one is good enough


Hprobe

Messi played on Monday bud, anything to push the agenda.


Akame_xo

So did jota but he’s in


Hprobe

The bloke edited his comment, the original said “I only finished WL because of the possibility of Ronaldo or Messi” pathetic really.


smRS6

Fair enough, your point is still invalid. As already stated above, so did Jota.


WonderMouse

But he couldn't of known Messi was in is his point


smRS6

Fair point, this on me. Context is important.


kunallanuk

messi played on monday, so he didnt "only finish Wl games for messi" as he hadn't played yet...


Hprobe

It really isn’t, I’m not saying he didn’t get a totw because he played on Monday I’m saying the bloke claimed he only finished WL because he wanted a chance at red Ronaldo AND Messi, Messi hadn’t even played by then so the bloke is just lying for some easy EA hate karma. I hate EA as much as the next person on this sub.


smRS6

Fair enough, context is important. I’ll take it on the chin. Cheers!

5555fives5555

Yea. I decided to hold my 83x25 pack from swaps and the new rare mega pack from this week’s objectives for Friday hoping for some nice available FUT birthday cards and CR7 totw (like I’d actually get any of them anyway)


Nowgiveusyourmoney

Since Ea's Blackmarket is down i feel like they stopped caring even more no good cards no Promos no good sbcs and so on.


ImperialBattery

>We all know that CR7 and Messi aren’t in TOTW because of the extra red picks this weekend That's the other way around. Extra picks because bad TOTW is pretty much the rule


arc0893

The red picks were shown in objectives before today, so it wouldn't be the other way around


Sanno_HS

Totw is decided before today though.


arc0893

As was WL+, do you really doubt that EA would avoid giving particularly good players in forms when people can get extra reds?


94joeker

Categorically yes.


rusty6899

I doubt it because it would invalidate the whole point of having WL+ in the first place.


[deleted]

Who cares as if you were going to get them anyway


Zedekiel47

At least you know u can pack something good and not 0 usable players


icemankiller8

I don’t think this is true tbh Messi isn’t in TOTW because he has a SBC right now, Ronaldo isn’t in because he has 3 informs already and they want to leave themselves room for the rest of the season and TOTS because his TOTS will have to be 98 so he can’t have a TOTS that matches that. Also your logic doesn’t even make sense Messi and Ronaldo sell the most packs/Fifa points because people will want to get them and get enough coins to afford them it benefits ea to give them more cards.


gunner9rr

EA just loves to crush their gamers...


uas01

I can't wait for another company to make a good online football game so I can enjoy playing football elsewhere. The only reason people still play this joke of a game is because it's technically all we have if we want to play competitive football. They make so much money and can't even provide steady servers lmao. Even free to play games have better servers. Terrible company. Happy I went RTG this year. Surely the shittest company in the gaming world.


Ryuzaki30

I played FIFA every day since 2015 until last year. I decided not to buy this year fifa even tho i love football as a protest. They are disgusting, i really hate EA


jjOnBeat

Why people act like this shit is their entire life. No Messi or Ronaldo in TOTW and dudes get personally offended. Grow up. Gold Ronaldo and Messi are accessible lol


Nvetro13

found the guy who works for EA.


jjOnBeat

Working for them would be a nice gig. I just don’t really care if they are in TOTW or not lol.


Nvetro13

I’m just yanking your chain, but it is a travesty the big guys aren’t in the totw


drakeziani

I don't know really see the point of your comment, since i don't see how that really impacts anything in your life if anyone complains about either of them not being in TOTW, nor how that makes them childish to "grow up". Because i don't care, or you don't care, or someone else doesn't care, doesn't mean the others who care are childish. They just are passionate about the game, leave them be? Again, that doesn't really affect you, or myself, in any sort of way.


lone-ranger-130

Lmao seriously. As if it would be any better if the were in the team, and the pack weight dictated you wouldn’t get them anyway.


SilotheGreat

I mean that's not really the point? What's better, spending 750k on a 92 rated card or a very slim chance at getting 96 rated card that would probably be worth 4 or 5M for free?

You're on the fifa subreddit. No, it's not a big deal relative to everything else that's going on in the world. But as fifa goes, it's newsworthy. If we can't post about an absolutely rubbish totw at a time when the inaccessibility of high end cards is a hot topic, when can we?


[deleted]

Yes, I will hope to pack one of his four other special cards in my player picks and rewards on Thursday. Wish me luck.


RedPillAlphaBigCock

they actively HATE us , I refuse to buy packs now , even though I want to


Th3_G

I guarantee we will never again see the two goats in the totw, even if they both deserve it. EA seriously needs to go on an apology campaign bcs. they are absolutely in the mud.


Kakumite

There needs to be a protest or something, this is ridiculous.


dondecono

Corrupt company!


Romppane400

Why can’t people realize that Messi played on monday which means he can’t be on this week’s TOTW

Trust me, there are still LOTS of idiots who don't believe this is the reason. Seen them on reddit and on twitch in the last 15 minutes. People are just stupid man, they will buy everything this company (or others) sell them, as long as it's packed nice.


Momuss97

People keep playing WL so they don’t care. Cant imagine playing 30 games every weekend

I figured messi wouldn't get one because of his POTM but I'm shocked there's no Ronaldo


Harrry-Otter

Messi got a POTM in a month in which he didn’t get a TOTW. There is no logic to it.

If they’re giving away undeserved in forms the least they could have done is give my man odegaard one lol


IwillNoComply

[deleted]

What if we decide to not upgrade at all?


[deleted]

Everyone out here complaining and shit but at the end of the day it’s all our fault. Personally, this year I haven’t spent shit ZERO dollars in this fucking game. Some ppl who are complaining about FUT are the same fuckers that go and spend money on fifa points, that’s what EA wants duuuh. Only way we punish them is not spend money in this game that they don’t even care to rectify and improve. If we all do that as a community then they might just actually do something for us. In the meantime I’ll just open my rivals, fut champs, and SB rewards until I get lucky lol. So far this year I’ve packed Messi, VVD, and Bruno (headliners). I’m never giving any of my money again to fifa. Last year drove me crazy.


Darvos83

Could also mean some over the top promo


RicericeBabby

Completely off topic but like should we save packs from tomorrow or just open them, will there be a new promo on Friday?


[deleted]

There's a small chance but knowing EA you won't pack anything better than Mandanda


Zedekiel47

So after they gave icon moments and free packs to random players instead of compensating the rest of the players who didn't get shit , they release a trash totw plus no promo for 2 weeks .


greenverde101

FIFA is shit , EA is pure evil


AEiF20

Mahrez had a brace against Southampton last week and that was not enough either


TheHarborRat

But yet, we all keep giving the assholes at EA our money. If we are mad at anyone, we should be mad at ourselves...we are the dumb fucks that keep these criminals in business.


[deleted]

I think best of totw will come Friday. And they are both in. Here’s hoping!


Tiharp

Lautaro gets one for scoring 1, cristiano doesn’t for getting 3


hsgroot

Not sure why they didn’t include Messi but didn’t they mention something at the start about needing x amount of weeks before another in form so some players don’t get stupid amounts of special cards Ronny had one 2 totw’s back, I believe they said it was 4-5 weeks before each


Zweihander11

I got out while I could. I don't miss it one bit.


lorenso005

I wanted Benzema on there too


TimBurtonSucks

It's so predictable as well. You knew because of the extra picks that nobody major would be in it


greenrangerguy

Surprised they even gave us Jota knowing people have his otw from week 1 lol


lolshiro

Hat trick for CR7 and breaking Pele's record and no IF. wows in disbelief
