Every year, one question lingers in the minds of Ultimate Team players: “How should I spend my FC points?” This year, instead of FIFA points, we’ll be looking at FC points. Doesn’t that sound simple? Well.
It’s not that simple. Everything depends on by which aspects of the game you enjoy the most. Some players prefer the Menu grind, such as SBCs and trading, while others prefer to grind out gameplay and play matches.
EA Sports FC Guide: How To Spend Your 4,600 FC Points
Both of these options take a different path from beginning to end, and in this post we’ll talk about the best options for you based on how much you enjoy the game.
When you pre-ordered the ultimate edition of the game, you were gifted a whopping 4,600 EAFC points. Awesome, right? Well, these EAFC points are like gold in the Ultimate Team world.
If you use them wisely, you could find yourself ahead of the game, boasting about the best players you have. But, here’s the twist – how do you spend them wisely?
Now, there are two main ways you can spend your points:
- Packs: This is like opening a surprise gift. You use your points, get a pack, and hope you find some incredible players inside.
- Draft: This is where you pick players to create a dream team and then compete in matches.
Let’s do some math (don’t worry, it’s simple!). With 4,600 EAFC points, you can get 30 Premium Gold packs. But, remember, these packs are a gamble; sometimes they’re great, sometimes they’re…not so great.
On the other hand, entering a draft costs 300 EAFC points. The cool part about the draft is that even if you lose right away, you still get a reward worth your 300 points! So if you play and advance further, you’ll earn even bigger and better rewards. If you’re confident in your FIFA skills, this could be a golden opportunity!
However, consider this: playing 15 drafts would take about 20 hours. Yep, that’s a lot of time in front of your screen! And not everyone has 20 hours to spend in one week, right?
Here’s where things get a little tricky. While the draft may offer more value for your EAFC points, it also requires a significant time investment. Ask yourself, how do you like to play?
- Do you get a kick out of opening packs and the thrill of the surprise?
- Do you love the challenge of drafts and feel confident in your gameplay?
- Or do you enjoy other parts of the game more, like trading, objectives, or Squad Battles?
Your answer will guide your decision. If you’re someone who loves trading, maybe it’s best to open packs, sell the players, and then use the coins for trading. If you’re all about the gameplay, try your hand at the drafts. But remember, always choose what brings you the most joy in the game!
Now, another sneaky tip for the smart players out there. Some players wait to use their points or open their packs until the standard edition releases. Why? Because that’s when the first promo releases, and the players during this time could be worth a lot more!
Yet, waiting has its own costs. Think about what you could be doing in the meantime, like building up your team or enjoying other game modes. The choice is truly yours!
Balancing Your FC Points: The Winning Strategy
The intriguing aspect of FC points is the variety of ways to spend them. From the insights given in a recent YouTube video by an experienced FIFA player, there emerges a third strategy that might just be the silver bullet for players navigating the EA Sports FC world.
This strategy is all about balance. Instead of going all in on packs or focusing solely on drafts, the player recommends a split approach. Imagine opening 15 of the 7.5k packs first. This would grant you a base of coins and perhaps even net you a high-value player or two. Then, you can use the rest of your points for draft entries, split between online and single-player drafts.
But why split your draft entries? Simple. Playing online drafts can be thrilling, and there’s always that chance you could reach the final and snag an outstanding player. But the competition is fierce. Hence, offsetting this with single-player drafts, especially when combined with objectives, seems like a winning move. Single-player drafts may offer slightly less in terms of rewards, but they can be tailored to suit objective completion, doubling the benefits.
Furthermore, managing objectives within the single-player draft can be an efficient way to maximize returns. Think of it as a two-birds-one-stone approach. You’re gunning for the draft rewards while also ticking off objectives to secure even more packs.
In conclusion, spending your EAFC points isn’t just about getting the most bang for your buck; it’s also about maximizing your fun and playing the game the way you love. So, whether you’re all about the packs, diving deep into drafts, or waiting for that perfect promo, always remember to enjoy the journey.
To evryeone grinding EAFC, what’s your game plan? Are you diving straight into packs, challenging yourself with foot drafts, or saving up for a big surprise later? Let’s hear your strategies! And as always, enjoy the game and have fun!
