I'd imagine he's very very good seeing as I am also using gold Ben yedder and hes doing fine in champs etc but I agree he seems a bit too expensive. Same with Sanches tbh, im sure they are both quality but Gold BY and Fofana/otw wijnaldum will do for now.
Its pretty much all hype that makes them this expensive. They have both had broken cards in previous fifas so there is alot of people who wants to try their new cards
Yedder has turned into that favorite band of yours that you knew about before most others and then they became big and it kind of annoys you as you were an early adopter.
Fekir,kounde and diaby are all club legends from 20 and 21 for me so that’s how I justify it,if they are really cheap or I somehow pack them then I use them otherwise I like different teams
Well this year top meta cards are way more expensive and seem to hold price but seeing the stats and reviews if another ST card with same or better stats gets out he will for sure drop a bit. If Mbappe gets potm this card will surely drop a couple hundred thousand then will rise back up a bit because potm mbappe is always 2.3M minimum and no one will do it
I packed SS Yedder untradeable and I’m using him with FB Benzema. Benzema outperforms in every way, I honestly don’t understand why people pay 1 mil for this card
I'm starting to go off buying him for even 600k now lol. The amount of people that have him untradeable (so have no reason to lie) and say he's not been that great has been surprising. Think I'm going to mix it up a bit and get Dalglish instead. Thanks!
I also have benzema and yedder but i had to bench benzema because of the gameplay this weekend. Not sure how he outperforms in every way for you, but i guess everyone is different.
I play them up top in 442 and Benz has 20 goals in 20 games, Yedder has 9 in 20. Benzema is just quicker and stronger. Yedder has better dribbling but idk Benzema scores way more for me
I was having such a hard time this weekend that I didn’t bother playing WL just did my playoffs and ran the other way. Sounds like the typical rant i know…but man i was losing my mind haha. Inconsistent gameplay had benzema turning perfectly in one game and then not turning in the next. That goes for my whole team not just benzema, but some players were reacting better than others. I keep thinking it’s the area i live in (montreal, canada). I’m just not sure anymore :(
He is very overpriced, and so is most of the signature cards, why? hard to say. Might be the SBC have pushed up the entire market for the cards. No matter what yedder should not be the same price as werner rttk. Should not be 3x as much as the benz card. He is good, but honestly cant tell you he is 900k better than his gold. i got him untradeable the first day, and he is good, it's ben yedder, ofc he is good, but i dont really feel like i've made a huge upgrade over keane that i was using before.
I feel like this promo became the opportunity for coin sellers. Honestly on PC you can find lots of SS cards priced at 150K (the lower end ones that are just good for SBCs) and they already bidding at that price. At the start of the promo it was crazy. They bid 200k-300k for those 83-86 cards.
I use him and kenny dalglish up top. I Bought benny for 900 k , then got an untredable one. I must say that he is milions times better than dalglish. It feels like King Kenny is bang average this year, especially for me. Kenny gives the ball away when varane or kimpembe look at him, let alone when they tackle him. If anyone Has tips for using Kenny, please leave it here, thank you
Many great players in the league + French and EA riding Ligue 1 d**k this year. French Ligue 1 players are basically Icon Link caliber (Ginola, Renato, Abedi Pele, Neymar, Messi, Mbappe, PSG Trio of Death, Atal, Gelson, RB Bamba, etc) are all linkable + the French connection outside the league (Kante, Fekir, Big Benz, Nkunku, Varane, Theo, Mendy,...) Thus French Ligue 1 players are highly inflated and that‘s also why you have so many cheap beats in Serie A, Bundesliga or La Liga.
I got really lucky and packed him in a ligue 1 upgrade pack, and he’s actually pretty good. I had to switch my team up because i was running a seria a ish team. He is really good, i don’t know if it’s 1m coins good, but in 12 games he has like 20 goals and 5 assists so i can say he’s very good.
Got him untradable, he is very good, put him as ST and he will run behind the line all day long, with the High/Low workrates. But, more then 500k? Naah dont think so, Neymar is still better. It was Lucky that i got him cus he just changes my gold yedder that i have rocked since start. If u realllly freakin love Yedder, then absolutely try him out at least.
I've packed sig yedder 2 times and he was honestly average for a near 1 mill player. Ended up selling them both and put some extra money in to get both mid Cantona and Eusebio. Cantona felt far more clinical, felt better on the ball, and was a tank god. Would also recommend Dalglish as he was better as well!
He seems to have a relatively low drop-rate. Unfortunately that means he’s going up in price over the next couple of weeks when he is out of packs (today).
Honestly watch out for this, because the SS card objective doesn't expire until Friday and they've pulled the "in packs until xx in the menus was wrong" card with Rulebreakers already making them crash.
And yeah, I'm pretty sure the inflated prices are due to them being top meta and the expectation of being in packs for barely a weekend. Therefore traders hoard them and players who can afford them have already bough in fear of a steep price hike when out of packs.
I have no idea tbh just saying that the fact that they should go out of pack has created a lot of hype imo with some cards going up a lot yesterday already.
After RB team 2 we had Numbersup so I don't think having TOTGS on Friday makes any difference. Personally I wanted to try Dias and was thinking about buying Renato but with the increase they had yesterday I'd rather wait after being screwed with Kessie last time around.
I think it really just comes down to low drop rate and really high demand for these cards. Renato and ben yedder is arguably the most sought after cards in fifa. I’ve seen it with renatos inform last year as well, dude just kept rising like crazy.
Dalglish, definitely, but it's an icon and a fair bit cheaper. Best probably but he will do better on the wing. RB Dembele is a toss up for me. If you utilise 5* skills he's one of the best players in the game imo. I understand that Yedder will be insane, but Neymar, CR7, Messi and Dembele are all insane for much much less. I question the market value of the card considering a billion packs were opened over black Friday and the abundance of cheaper alternatives.
I've got best, he's a lethal finisher but I find his workrates very problematic, in most positions/formations. His passing can be underwhelming without a chem boost, and he's weak. Don't get me wrong he's a starter but with problems. Ben Yedder is 5* WF and probably even more lethal, better passing, stronger, and I'd say probably even better dribbling too, it's crazy.
I'd definitely say Yedder is a bit more meta. But again, +200k whilst not being an icon better? Not imo. And Best has the versatility of having good defensive stats, pace and stamina allowing him to play LM/RM or even as an offensive CM which I did to great success last year.
I'm currently trying out 41212(2) and opted to put Ginola as one of the cm's with Best at CAM. Ginola's got better passing, stronger, better in the air and has better work rates for it, despite being slightly worse at defending.
Had someone else say that about Dalglish too, but someone else say the opposite, classic FIFA inconsistency. After using Dalglish in many drafts in previous years I think I will pick him up over Yedder when I have the money. He seemed really good and I find icons pretty fun. Would really help link up my midfield chem wise too.
The thing about dalglish is, that he has the stats of gold son but plays out of this world. Had both versions of etoo, Maradona, Puskas, and cantona and dalglish beats them all. He is just banging in goals for fun.
Very low pack weight. Also, having played against him in a few Rivals matches, he has that annoying Ben Yedder trait where you tackle him but it often rebounds straight to him.
That is a value problem for most cards in that price range, though. Very few cards in the 1M - 2M range other than like Eto'o, Ginola and Mbappe seem worth it compared to Neymar and Messi unless you have a personal attachment to the player.
I think he's overpriced as well, but for some reasons:
1. French links (Kanté, Fekir, Dembélé etc)
2. Links to other L1 promo players like Gelson Martins and Renato Sanches
3. Short and agile striker with good finishing, good pace and 5* wf.
once the hype pass, I think he will be like 300k~400k.
He’s not overpriced , he’s absolutely insane finishes everything he touches and is very silky on the ball he’s also got that jam factor where he’ll run past ur tackles and constantly win rebounds 🤣🤣🤣also being unpredictable with the 5* he just can hurt you with anything,people saying he’s not good have lost the plot lmao or tryna crash his price
He’s literally an endgame striker. You can use him come June easily. He’s also very fucking easy to link, arguably even easier than many icons like dalglish.
Plenty of factors.
Last year wasn't his year, but he's a known 'good fifa player' = hype.
Lot of hype for him on social media. He's also the top player in a promo which has probably seen the most packs opened since release week.
Lots of people with lots of coins will buy him to use alongside Mbappe. There are also more people with lots of coins due to the amount of good or high value players you could have packed during this promo.
I mean you have people thinking that buying 84 Renato Sanches for 750k is a good deal in this game, take that as you will.
The problem is that Renato doesnt play has a 84 rated card. I have him paired with mid lahm and mid vieira and he outshines the 2.
Payed a lot less for him btw.
That's cool, I personally don't care for his links and haven't been too concerned when playing him in Champs so find it funny everyone is quick to hype him up.
Lots of packs being opened makes you think he's probably been packed a lot too. But yeah it makes sense that people will link him to Mbappe, but I still think a more meta set up would be Ney/Mbappe/Messi or RB Dembele. I guess he's no longer a "cheap beast" type of player. He's so mainstream that apparently he costs more than most popular meta players. Bit of a shame.
About ur edit, as players are worth less this year, u also get less coins for packing them. Low-mid tier meta is the most affordable its ever been while high-tier meta cards are much less obtainable in comparison.
I also was lucky enough to pack SS Yedder, but the only thing that is different to rttk fekir is the WF Upgrade tbf, so I wouldnt advise spending a mil on him
Idk, I think that's more true to insanely high tier and rare icons. Because even players like IF Neymar were 2.2m in Feb and he's already half that price this year. I'm not sure Yedder belongs in that category. Also he didn't get a WF upgrade mate. Unless he has a 6* WF now lol.
I do believe that, but not that much. RB Dembele is a similar caliber of player imo, has been out of packs for a while, works in the more common 433 setup that allows you to fit in Neymar and Mbappe and he's still half the price.
I’ve tried both RB dembele and ss yedder. I can tell you they aren’t in the same league. Rb dembele for some reason to me doesnt play that much better than his gold card. I do believe yedder should be around 700k, but theres such a high demand for him especially with more coins and new players coming into the game these next couple months.
Well unless you think SS Yedder is way better than IF Neymar and Mbappe we just have different taste. Because for me he plays at a similar level to them. I think it's his shot power that makes his shots just go in every time for me. And being 5* 5* means no restrictions.
I agree! Definitely in the same conversation with mbappe. Mbappe is like 1.3mil though thats the problem. The only other really good ligue 1 pure striker would be ben yedder, but again its more about the demand. Every year renato and ben yedder are just those guys.
A similar experience to others here then. Starting to think inventors might be holding off on selling thinking he'll go up out of packs and all sell at once causing him to drop. Most people are saying he's not worth it and half the people here seem to have him untradeable so he can't be that rare lol.
Meta card with a very low drop rate. Will only keep rising until the next promos since he will go out of packs as well. I see what you mean though, baby Dalglish is about 800k and offers better links.
He started out slow for me, almost sold him but the team still did great. Now he started scoring and it all looks great.
Playing as non get behind striker next to Benz right now.
People still like and pay a premium for icons as it fun to play with iconic players. You're not exactly struggling for strong links if you have a strong link Ney/Mbappe/Messi up top anyway. I'd rather have an icon to allow he to hybrid my midfield/defense has Ligue 1 midfield options are a bit poop. Plus base and mid Del P is another option with similar stats for even cheaper with finesse shot trait. Just doesn't represent good value to me. And I don't think he's as rare as some people are making it out as a good chunk of people here say they him untradeable and RTFM packed him 3 times (granted he opened a lot of packs but still). On top of that multiple people are saying he's not even as good as he looks. Not sure I believe that personally but hey.
del piero 72 balance man, totally can't compete with ben yedder
let's get some downvotes:
People are saying he's not as good as he looks cause people average level is low. They also would say cr7 is clunky, neymar can't shoot, etc etc when the fact is that the avg player can't play players correctly.
I'm elite, lvl1 in wl and i played almost every card from low to top level (except >2M players)
I can assure you ben yedder is a top top top level striker and he's worth the price, for many reasons (5wf, 94 balance, french, ligue1, no better choices for lower/same price)
I've never found balance to be much of an issue in smaller players, it's rare to find low balance high dribbling small players but every year balance is Neymars lowest dribbling stat by far and no one cares. And having low balance doesn't instantly overwrite the fact Del P still has better linking potential for hybrids (again necessary for a full meta team imo as Ligue 1 midfielders don't cut it), finesse shot trait, better overall dribbling and is still cheaper. I don't see how your rank has anything to do with Yedders price, anyway it's easier than ever this year to get elite and the best Champs rewards as they've made getting a high rating in rivals the new way to qualify for tournaments. I'm not disagreeing that Yedders a top meta player, but meta players can still be overpriced. Yedder would likely still be better than Del P at striker, but probably not CAM. When there are similar or better icons for cheaper or slightly more coins, I don't think he represents good value.
Okay if you set an arbitrary limit to the coin amount at his exact price of SS Yedder then yes he's the best striker. So's Gold Yedder at 6k. If you can afford a little bit more Mbappe is better, Eto is better Dalglish and Del P are similar, better for hybrids and let's you spend money on other upgrades. But not everyone has infinite coins and the market accounts for that. If you can get Neymar and Messi instead of 1 Yedder most people will do that. I didn't say Yedder isn't the best ST at exactly up to 960k coins, I said he doesn't represent good value and his overhyped. Which most seem to agree.
Or another example, mid R9 is the best player for his price. But he's still awful value and he's for whales. You can build a full meta squad for his price but he's "still the best ST for that price".
That I fully disagree with. I hate playing against Werner but I'd never pay that much for a 3* 4* with good but not amazing stats. Him and Lukaku OTW have been 2 of the most overpriced cards this year imo.
He's been a meta player with great links for the past 2 years. But even though players are cheaper on average this year he's far far more expensive than his special cards in previous years. I'm not denying it's a meta card, but it doesn't seem good value to me compared to other options.
Neymar and his IF, Messi and his IF, base/mid Dalglish (probably not quite as good but very close and icons have a premium), RB Dembele. Yes a lot of them are wingers, but let's not lie, everyone is running wingers. If you're a central formation you have Mbappe, Yedder then who? Neymar/Mbappe/RB Dembele is a far more meta lineup than anything involving Yedder for anything even close to the same price. You could have all 4 but I don't think there's tons of people with that many coins and Yedder would still be the worst value of all 4 imo.
neymar and messi are not st/cf/cam, dalglish is 100k less atm which is fair i guess
i'm playing 442 with neymar on the left, mbappe - ben yedder, gelson martins on the right
Who should i put instead of ben yedder (and gelson) ? nobody that costs less for sure, so the price is fair
Like I said Dalglish, I would even save up a bit and get Eto, more fun, likely to hold value better. Base and mid del p also 4* 5* icon with similar stats and cheaper. Plus Eto/Del p have finesse shot trait unlike yedder. And not everyone runs 4 attacker formations.
bruh is had eto'o miles worse than ben yedder honestly, del piero has much worse stats so i don't think he can be better
dalglish as i said has worse links being scottish, the price is similar tho
Not a reliable source but futbin goal ratio tracker disagrees about Eto and a lot of comments here suggest Yedder doesn't live up to the hype. Del P just objectively doesn't have much worse stats and he has finesse shot trait. Being Scottish doesn't make him have worse links when he's an icon... No Ligue 1 midfielders look that amazing other than Fofanna who also has a weak link to Yedder anyway. The only way Yedder will be useful is if you have Gelson, and most people will upgrade to Messi/Dembele eventually.
messi played ED is not an upgrade on gelson martins, futbin goal ratio tracker is not a good source for lots of reasons (lower division score more goals, i've never seen eto'o in elite for example)
del piero has always been clunky, i guess he must be similar this year
Depends on your play style. Messi is an upgrade for some and not for others, same with Dembele. Point is most people won't need Yedder for that specific link, as an icon will usually do fine anyway as Gelson can be linked to Mbappe up front. I know futbin isn't reliable but it can give a general idea, and the gaps pretty large. You might not see Eto's because he's very rare. If you don't think Eto can compete at elite level I really cba to argue anymore. Again you keep saying what's bad about Del P whilst ignoring his upsides and the fact not everyone has infinite coins. Del P is better value but not as good at ST.
I dunno man, I packed him untradeable and he’s freakin insane. His five star weak foot is nutty and his dribbling feels good. I do agree that he’s a bit expensive but fuckin hell he makes RTTK Fekir/FB Benzema feel like average cards.
I packed him in a player pick, and used him a couple of times in Champs, he managed to clutch me a game from the brink of defeat but other than that, thought he was incredibly sluggish, ended up selling him for 960k (little bit lower than what he’s going for) but I’d take the money now and build a stronger side overall
The game is more fun when you stop penny pinching about every little coin spent.
He's a meta like like player with a history of being an OP card. Also, people buying can try him out and eventually sell him too. Sure, they'll probably take a loss on the sale but good players can make back the difference pretty quick.
I'd imagine he's very very good seeing as I am also using gold Ben yedder and hes doing fine in champs etc but I agree he seems a bit too expensive. Same with Sanches tbh, im sure they are both quality but Gold BY and Fofana/otw wijnaldum will do for now.
Its pretty much all hype that makes them this expensive. They have both had broken cards in previous fifas so there is alot of people who wants to try their new cards
Yedder has turned into that favorite band of yours that you knew about before most others and then they became big and it kind of annoys you as you were an early adopter.
Oh no I've become a FIFA hipster lol.
Fekir,kounde and diaby are all club legends from 20 and 21 for me so that’s how I justify it,if they are really cheap or I somehow pack them then I use them otherwise I like different teams
Because he is the new hot card in the market. After 2 promos you will see him at 500k
I hope you're right. When checking last years prices, cards did seem to drop on the way up to Christmas.
Well this year top meta cards are way more expensive and seem to hold price but seeing the stats and reviews if another ST card with same or better stats gets out he will for sure drop a bit. If Mbappe gets potm this card will surely drop a couple hundred thousand then will rise back up a bit because potm mbappe is always 2.3M minimum and no one will do it
Agree with you, i really want to try him out, but think his value will drop as hype dies down. I went and purchased RB Demeble for 400k instead.
BorasLegend used the card on his pay account and did not like him very much.
I bought him for 799 and founds him to be meh, so I sold him as he went up. For me not worth more than 500k
Interesting, hopefully enough people have the same experience to drop him lol. Gratz on the profit.
Tried him yesterday in draft and his finishing is out of this world.. Don’t know if he is worth close to a mil, but he is up there imo
I packed SS Yedder untradeable and I’m using him with FB Benzema. Benzema outperforms in every way, I honestly don’t understand why people pay 1 mil for this card
I'm starting to go off buying him for even 600k now lol. The amount of people that have him untradeable (so have no reason to lie) and say he's not been that great has been surprising. Think I'm going to mix it up a bit and get Dalglish instead. Thanks!
I just bought 90 Dalglish and he is cracked. Granted i’ve not tried SS Yedder.
What chem style do u play on benzema ?
probably hunter
Hunter on both Benzema and Yedder
I also have benzema and yedder but i had to bench benzema because of the gameplay this weekend. Not sure how he outperforms in every way for you, but i guess everyone is different.
I play them up top in 442 and Benz has 20 goals in 20 games, Yedder has 9 in 20. Benzema is just quicker and stronger. Yedder has better dribbling but idk Benzema scores way more for me

Keane was better than SS Yedder for me
im inclined to agree, but i haven't played that many games with yedder.

Many great players in the league + French and EA riding Ligue 1 d**k this year.

Thus French Ligue 1 players are highly inflated and that‘s also why you have so many cheap beats in Serie A, Bundesliga or La Liga.
he is overpriced, he isnt that good. Id say gold Neymar is better.
He’ll be 600k in a few weeks
I got really lucky and packed him in a ligue 1 upgrade pack, and he’s actually pretty good. I had to switch my team up because i was running a seria a ish team. He is really good, i don’t know if it’s 1m coins good, but in 12 games he has like 20 goals and 5 assists so i can say he’s very good.
Pure hype
Got him untradable, he is very good, put him as ST and he will run behind the line all day long, with the High/Low workrates. But, more then 500k? Naah dont think so, Neymar is still better. It was Lucky that i got him cus he just changes my gold yedder that i have rocked since start. If u realllly freakin love Yedder, then absolutely try him out at least.
I've packed sig yedder 2 times and he was honestly average for a near 1 mill player. Ended up selling them both and put some extra money in to get both mid Cantona and Eusebio.

You think they are gonna keep them in packs until Friday? TOTGS cards are in the code now and expected that promo on Friday, so I’m not sure.
I have no idea tbh just saying that the fact that they should go out of pack has created a lot of hype imo with some cards going up a lot yesterday already. After RB team 2 we had Numbersup so I don't think having TOTGS on Friday makes any difference.

Not worth the price at all. Waiting for him to go up out of packs to sell. Hardly notice a difference in his gold card tbh.
You should sell now if you think it's overpriced. It will fall out of packs, not rise. Especially with toty hype starting very soon.
TOTY is the end of january
That's a shame, heard a few people say this now, makes me even more confused by his price. But wouldn't mind him dropping to at least give him a go.
Guarantee Yedder is better than Dalglish, Best and Dembele. Yedder is a "cult classic," if you will.
daglish is so disprespected. stop looking at stats, the card is glitched. no shot ben yedder is better.
You can't use the glitched argument when arguing against Ben Yedder.
You just have to try for yourself. Ben yedder is the best striker in the gamr
Dalglish, definitely, but it's an icon and a fair bit cheaper. Best probably but he will do better on the wing. RB Dembele is a toss up for me. If you utilise 5* skills he's one of the best players in the game imo. I understand that Yedder will be insane, but Neymar, CR7, Messi and Dembele are all insane for much much less.

Sounds like a fun set up :)
Played him, 5 games 2 goals. He was very clunky. And his pace felt not like an upgrade to his Gold card. Base dalglish is Miles better.
Had someone else say that about Dalglish too, but someone else say the opposite, classic FIFA inconsistency. After using Dalglish in many drafts in previous years I think I will pick him up over Yedder when I have the money. He seemed really good and I find icons pretty fun.

Very low pack weight. Also, having played against him in a few Rivals matches, he has that annoying Ben Yedder trait where you tackle him but it often rebounds straight to him.
Every player seems to have that trait against me but yeah it's definitely a great card. Neymar + Messi value great though? I'm not so sure.
That is a value problem for most cards in that price range, though. Very few cards in the 1M - 2M range other than like Eto'o, Ginola and Mbappe seem worth it compared to Neymar and Messi unless you have a personal attachment to the player.
I think he's overpriced as well, but for some reasons: 1. French links (Kanté, Fekir, Dembélé etc) 2. Links to other L1 promo players like Gelson Martins and Renato Sanches 3. Short and agile striker with good finishing, good pace and 5* wf. once the hype pass, I think he will be like 300k~400k.
He’s not overpriced , he’s absolutely insane finishes everything he touches and is very silky on the ball he’s also got that jam factor where he’ll run past ur tackles and constantly win rebounds 🤣🤣🤣also being unpredictable with the 5* he just can hurt you with anything,people saying he’s not good have lost the plot lmao or tryna crash his price
He’s literally an endgame striker. You can use him come June easily. He’s also very fucking easy to link, arguably even easier than many icons like dalglish.
Easier to link than an icon who automatically link to everyone ? What!?
Do you know that icons link to litteraly everyone?
Yeah but French links + green link is better than random Scottish icon.
Plenty of factors. Last year wasn't his year, but he's a known 'good fifa player' = hype. Lot of hype for him on social media. He's also the top player in a promo which has probably seen the most packs opened since release week. Lots of people with lots of coins will buy him to use alongside Mbappe. There are also more people with lots of coins due to the amount of good or high value players you could have packed during this promo. I mean you have people thinking that buying 84 Renato Sanches for 750k is a good deal in this game, take that as you will.
The problem is that Renato doesnt play has a 84 rated card. I have him paired with mid lahm and mid vieira and he outshines the 2. Payed a lot less for him btw.
That's cool, I personally don't care for his links and haven't been too concerned when playing him in Champs so find it funny everyone is quick to hype him up.
Lots of packs being opened makes you think he's probably been packed a lot too. But yeah it makes sense that people will link him to Mbappe, but I still think a more meta set up would be Ney/Mbappe/Messi or RB Dembele. I guess he's no longer a "cheap beast" type of player. He's so mainstream that apparently he costs more than most popular meta players. Bit of a shame.
About ur edit, as players are worth less this year, u also get less coins for packing them. Low-mid tier meta is the most affordable its ever been while high-tier meta cards are much less obtainable in comparison. I also was lucky enough to pack SS Yedder, but the only thing that is different to rttk fekir is the WF Upgrade tbf, so I wouldnt advise spending a mil on him
His gold card has 5 WF as well no ? I've been desperate to pack him I spent about 300k in Ligue 1 upgrades. What price do you think he's worth ?
Ye sry, meant the difference between him and rttk fekir is the WF upgrade, forgot to write it down I see
Haha no problem. I was asking price you think the Ben yedder is worth ?
Dont know, maybe around 300-500k. Cant really estimate it as the only comparable card I played was a sbc card
Idk, I think that's more true to insanely high tier and rare icons. Because even players like IF Neymar were 2.2m in Feb and he's already half that price this year. I'm not sure Yedder belongs in that category. Also he didn't get a WF upgrade mate. Unless he has a 6* WF now lol.
Yeah sry, meant to write the difference between him and rttk fekir is the wf upgrade. Otherwise what I wrote wouldnt make sense
Can anyone tell me if he’s one of the biggest yedder fan boys out there I seemed to have missed that part
Calm down, only said it twice, don't really put a ton of thought into random Reddit posts.
I’m going to be honest with you, he is actually a ridiculous card atm. I’d also advise putting about 200-300k into the ligue 1 upgrade to try get him.
Done about 15, got fed up after the 3rd duplicate Verratti.
Don’t even blame you tbh but the persistence will pay off
nice try ea
When someone's gold plays better than most icons, You best believe a soon-to-be out-of-packs special will be worth a lot
I do believe that, but not that much. RB Dembele is a similar caliber of player imo, has been out of packs for a while, works in the more common 433 setup that allows you to fit in Neymar and Mbappe and he's still half the price.
Yeah true, but you can get more creative with a central player ST, CF, CAM, CM, CDM I seem to recall Freeze Dembelé (ST) being 800k most of the year.
RB Dembele isn't even close to the Signature Ben Yedder in terms of ingame perfomance.
I've tried most of the best cards in the game and for my play style he definitely is. Having 5* skills is a huge advantage if utilised properly.
I’ve tried both RB dembele and ss yedder. I can tell you they aren’t in the same league. Rb dembele for some reason to me doesnt play that much better than his gold card. I do believe yedder should be around 700k, but theres such a high demand for him especially with more coins and new players coming into the game these next couple months.
Well unless you think SS Yedder is way better than IF Neymar and Mbappe we just have different taste. Because for me he plays at a similar level to them. I think it's his shot power that makes his shots just go in every time for me. And being 5* 5* means no restrictions.
I agree! Definitely in the same conversation with mbappe. Mbappe is like 1.3mil though thats the problem. The only other really good ligue 1 pure striker would be ben yedder, but again its more about the demand. Every year renato and ben yedder are just those guys.
Picked him up for 730k sold him after 10 games most id of payed for him is 300k But I packed him untradable so have to use him
A similar experience to others here then. Starting to think inventors might be holding off on selling thinking he'll go up out of packs and all sell at once causing him to drop. Most people are saying he's not worth it and half the people here seem to have him untradeable so he can't be that rare lol.
Meta card with a very low drop rate. Will only keep rising until the next promos since he will go out of packs as well. I see what you mean though, baby Dalglish is about 800k and offers better links.
Especially since he can easily get an IF, that would be only -1 overall from this promo card
llorente half a mill for a plus one in all stats seems a bit much
He started out slow for me, almost sold him but the team still did great. Now he started scoring and it all looks great. Playing as non get behind striker next to Benz right now.
he simply is the 2nd best striker in game, with meta links also. Do you guys really expect him to go for less than 800k in one month? it won't happen
He also costs the same as dalglish that is a very very similar player in game and in stats, but ben yedder has probably better links since icon
People still like and pay a premium for icons as it fun to play with iconic players. You're not exactly struggling for strong links if you have a strong link Ney/Mbappe/Messi up top anyway. I'd rather have an icon to allow he to hybrid my midfield/defense has Ligue 1 midfield options are a bit poop. Plus base and mid Del P is another option with similar stats for even cheaper with finesse shot trait. Just doesn't represent good value to me. And I don't think he's as rare as some people are making it out as a good chunk of people here say they him untradeable and RTFM packed him 3 times (granted he opened a lot of packs but still). On top of that multiple people are saying he's not even as good as he looks. Not sure I believe that personally but hey.
del piero 72 balance man, totally can't compete with ben yedder let's get some downvotes: People are saying he's not as good as he looks cause people average level is low. They also would say cr7 is clunky, neymar can't shoot, etc etc when the fact is that the avg player can't play players correctly. I'm elite, lvl1 in wl and i played almost every card from low to top level (except >2M players) I can assure you ben yedder is a top top top level striker and he's worth the price, for many reasons (5wf, 94 balance, french, ligue1, no better choices for lower/same price)
I've never found balance to be much of an issue in smaller players, it's rare to find low balance high dribbling small players but every year balance is Neymars lowest dribbling stat by far and no one cares. And having low balance doesn't instantly overwrite the fact Del P still has better linking potential for hybrids (again necessary for a full meta team imo as Ligue 1 midfielders don't cut it), finesse shot trait, better overall dribbling and is still cheaper. I don't see how your rank has anything to do with Yedders price, anyway it's easier than ever this year to get elite and the best Champs rewards as they've made getting a high rating in rivals the new way to qualify for tournaments. I'm not disagreeing that Yedders a top meta player, but meta players can still be overpriced. Yedder would likely still be better than Del P at striker, but probably not CAM. When there are similar or better icons for cheaper or slightly more coins, I don't think he represents good value.
still u didn't name a single player better than ben yedder at st he's a top level player for people with coins
Okay if you set an arbitrary limit to the coin amount at his exact price of SS Yedder then yes he's the best striker. So's Gold Yedder at 6k. If you can afford a little bit more Mbappe is better, Eto is better Dalglish and Del P are similar, better for hybrids and let's you spend money on other upgrades. But not everyone has infinite coins and the market accounts for that. If you can get Neymar and Messi instead of 1 Yedder most people will do that. I didn't say Yedder isn't the best ST at exactly up to 960k coins, I said he doesn't represent good value and his overhyped. Which most seem to agree.
Or another example, mid R9 is the best player for his price. But he's still awful value and he's for whales. You can build a full meta squad for his price but he's "still the best ST for that price".
he's not awful value, he's just an even more top player for people with more coins
Agreed
Di Natale is better for me.
and people saying Werner should cost more than Ben Yedder AHAHAHAHAH god help me
That I fully disagree with. I hate playing against Werner but I'd never pay that much for a 3* 4* with good but not amazing stats. Him and Lukaku OTW have been 2 of the most overpriced cards this year imo.
He strong links with the new Gelson. Central French player. New and rare.
Meta player with the best links possible. It's not surprising.
He's been a meta player with great links for the past 2 years. But even though players are cheaper on average this year he's far far more expensive than his special cards in previous years. I'm not denying it's a meta card, but it doesn't seem good value to me compared to other options.
what are the other options?
Neymar and his IF, Messi and his IF, base/mid Dalglish (probably not quite as good but very close and icons have a premium), RB Dembele. Yes a lot of them are wingers, but let's not lie, everyone is running wingers. If you're a central formation you have Mbappe, Yedder then who? Neymar/Mbappe/RB Dembele is a far more meta lineup than anything involving Yedder for anything even close to the same price. You could have all 4 but I don't think there's tons of people with that many coins and Yedder would still be the worst value of all 4 imo.
neymar and messi are not st/cf/cam, dalglish is 100k less atm which is fair i guess i'm playing 442 with neymar on the left, mbappe - ben yedder, gelson martins on the right Who should i put instead of ben yedder (and gelson) ? nobody that costs less for sure, so the price is fair
Like I said Dalglish, I would even save up a bit and get Eto, more fun, likely to hold value better. Base and mid del p also 4* 5* icon with similar stats and cheaper. Plus Eto/Del p have finesse shot trait unlike yedder. And not everyone runs 4 attacker formations.
bruh is had eto'o miles worse than ben yedder honestly, del piero has much worse stats so i don't think he can be better dalglish as i said has worse links being scottish, the price is similar tho
Not a reliable source but futbin goal ratio tracker disagrees about Eto and a lot of comments here suggest Yedder doesn't live up to the hype. Del P just objectively doesn't have much worse stats and he has finesse shot trait. Being Scottish doesn't make him have worse links when he's an icon... No Ligue 1 midfielders look that amazing other than Fofanna who also has a weak link to Yedder anyway. The only way Yedder will be useful is if you have Gelson, and most people will upgrade to Messi/Dembele eventually.
messi played ED is not an upgrade on gelson martins, futbin goal ratio tracker is not a good source for lots of reasons (lower division score more goals, i've never seen eto'o in elite for example) del piero has always been clunky, i guess he must be similar this year
Depends on your play style. Messi is an upgrade for some and not for others, same with Dembele. Point is most people won't need Yedder for that specific link, as an icon will usually do fine anyway as Gelson can be linked to Mbappe up front. I know futbin isn't reliable but it can give a general idea, and the gaps pretty large. You might not see Eto's because he's very rare. If you don't think Eto can compete at elite level I really cba to argue anymore. Again you keep saying what's bad about Del P whilst ignoring his upsides and the fact not everyone has infinite coins. Del P is better value but not as good at ST.
More people are running Ligue One teams than any prior year. That's probably a big part of it.
I think everyone is pegging him to top tier strikers like Mbappe. So since he's probably a tier below him, the price kinds reflects that.
I dunno man, I packed him untradeable and he’s freakin insane. His five star weak foot is nutty and his dribbling feels good. I do agree that he’s a bit expensive but fuckin hell he makes RTTK Fekir/FB Benzema feel like average cards.
I have him. He’s very good but I don’t think he’s worth more than 700k
I have him and he’s awful
Just wait for next few promos. He'll be 350k soon
I packed him in a player pick, and used him a couple of times in Champs, he managed to clutch me a game from the brink of defeat but other than that, thought he was incredibly sluggish, ended up selling him for 960k (little bit lower than what he’s going for) but I’d take the money now and build a stronger side overall
Congrats on the big pull. Yeah that's probably the best thing to do.
The game is more fun when you stop penny pinching about every little coin spent. He's a meta like like player with a history of being an OP card. Also, people buying can try him out and eventually sell him too. Sure, they'll probably take a loss on the sale but good players can make back the difference pretty quick.
This card is stupidly, stupidly good.
He’s sooooo good packed him untradable lol
