Working on a 150-200K untradable SBC, is it WORTH it? Some mythbusting. I've apprehend bags of differents credibility of appearance apropos this absolute catechism we see every added day EA releases a amateur SBC. A lot of RTF/FB/etc**** sbcs hoovers about 150-200k if you alpha from blemish and abreast from some abhorrent ones in agreement of ROI (like Aubameyang, absolute big-ticket for a agleam yet negligeagle upgrade), a lot of of them are in fact counterbalanced and opinions can be broadly differents. I'll try to acknowledgment all the questions from a micro bread-and-butter (asset management) point of view. Amuse agenda that choices can be fabricated not necessarily for authentic amount but for tastes as well. Added about that later.

So, I'll try to acknowledgment 2 questions: are the backpack account it ? If not, is the amateur account it while it's untradeable ?

TLDR: No, the packs are a lot of of the time not account it. Just aerate your fun aural the game, whether your amount abbreviate appellation (playing now) adjoin continued term. Packs acknowledgment should be afar from the blueprint (you still acquire the FUN of aperture them admitting and I'm appealing absorbed to it) the alone catechism is : how abundant you are accommodating to pay to PLAY the agenda now while it will lose some amount later.

#1 ARE THE PACK WORTH IT?

There are no absolute acknowledgment on that, aback with untradable some adeptness be.

However, in about every case, if you alpha from blemish and charge to buy all the players it is VERY absurd admonish that the accepted acknowledgment on packs is absolute low. Usually a backpack acknowledgment is about 20 to 25%. They are physique this way.

For exemple, if you pay 10K for a 35K (mega) backpack it should on boilerplate accord you 10-12k acknowledgment so it's worth. But a lot of of the time, the SBC are costing 40 to 80% of the backpack abounding price. So, on average, apprehend to lose bill while accomplishing SBCs.

And even if you aces okayish players, you adeptness advertise SBC players for bigger value. If everybody is accomplishing the SBC for the packs, it agency that the players for the SBC (like Sule, Thauvin, Falcao, etc.) for it are traveling to skyrocket. And your accepted acknowledgment is apparently traveling down : in a lot of case, you will backpack a accidental 83 at best that sells for 1-2k.

EVEN if EA accession the allowance of packing acceptable players, it would just blast the amount of players in coins. If everybody starts to bead some accidental non meta 85,86 or even 88+ like Thiago Silva, their amount would blast aback the appeal would be the same, while the accumulation would just acceleration up. So your accepted acknowledgment in this case would still breach low compared to the amount of accomplishing the SBC. SBC are just agency to ascendancy specific amateur ranges, and bake some bill for the players (by affairs specific agenda from the market, paying tax, afresh afire them to get lower amount cards on average).

It's for a affidavit you should NEVER backpack with coin, but with FIFA point. The allowance revolves about giving you a absolute low bread acknowledgment so you can't bluff the system, except with the BPM. And should they accession the allowance of giving bigger players, bazaar would antithesis in a way to spiral you already afresh unless you 100% bead meta players which is NOT LIKELY.

#2 THE CARD IS GREAT FOR NOW BUT WOULD BE OUTDATED IN 3 MONTH, WHAT TO DO?

This has to do with claimed preference. All revolves about UTILITY, which is how abundant you are personnally accommodating to pay for something. Some humans like to consum fast, and acquire HIGH account for abbreviate appellation (usually adolescent folks). Humain academician is crumbling adjoin giving added UTILITY for the future, ie the older, the added you value/like saving.

So, if you ambition to play for the next 3 months like crazy, but still apperceive that your agenda has a absolute in playbility, there are 0 acumen to not maximise your account NOW accustomed your personnal aftertaste and go for it (since your account for the 3 ages advanced is lower).

If you about amount added the bold in a brace of months, and adore cutting bill in amid it would be absurd to bore approaching money in an untradable agenda that holds 0 continued appellation value.

To accomplish it short, the added you ambition to play it now, the bigger it becomes to do the SBC. For exemple, Mkhytarian SBC is expensive. Its amount is about 200K bill from scratch. If we apprehend Arsenal to ability semi, Mkhy will be a KDB like with abundant stat, by March - April.

So basically, you are paying 200K now to acquire the achievability to play KDB in APRIL. With the upside of arena a babyish KDB hardly cher and untradeable now.

Problem is you don't acquire KDB NOW. You acquire an boilerplate meta card. But you can play it NOW, for 150K beneath than KDB.. Either you adopt to delay for a bigger ROI in April, the bourgeois way.

Or you ambition to play a babyish KDB now, accident the befalling to beforehand thoose dank 200K that would construe into a 300-400K if you barter yourself up.

It's alleged maximizing your own utility, whether you adopt to beforehand now for a specific ROI in April or maximizing accumulation by beforehand abroad for a bigger ROI, but with 0 gameplay for now. Yes you could get yourself a not-very-sexy 84 mkhytarian or lingard for 1/40 of the amount but accepting the agenda now gives you the accolade aswell now.

TLDR:

Just aerate your fun aural the game, whether your amount abbreviate appellation (playing now) adjoin continued term. Packs acknowledgment should be afar from the blueprint (you still acquire the FUN of aperture them admitting and I'm appealing absorbed to it) The alone catechism is : how abundant you are accommodating to pay to PLAY the agenda now while it will lose some amount later.
