spurt. Initial content started at 18:00 UK time on Friday, March 22nd, and new puzzles and achievements will appear at various intervals between that date and Monday, April 1st, 18:00 UK time.
What new FIFA 19 FUT birthday players are available?
FUT Birthdays features 47 other players, past and present, who have received upgrades and/or location changes. It is divided into three categories:
– 30 FUT birthday players, all with repositioning and attribute enhancements. 21 are available in packs and 9 can be achieved through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) or gameplay objectives. The full squad is pictured above. Highlights include Gareth Bale (ST, 93), Mo Salah (LB, 90) and Kylian Mbappe (LW, 91). Yes, left-back Mo Sala. There is also a striker Virgil van Dijk card already on sale for 615,000 coins. idiots.
– 7 FUT Anniversary players, all community favorites from previous FIFA editions. Only available through Objectives or SBC. The first publication was by David Villa (ST, 92).
– 10 players from Prime Icon Moments – Legends of the game already in FUT but with additional rank ups. It can only be obtained by completing SBC. Steven Gerrard (92, CM) is the first confirmed patient.
How do I complete the FUT Birthday Challenge in game?
These are difficult, but come with some really attractive rewards, like the 89 rated Zlatan Ibrahimovic CB card! Let’s go through them one by one.
– Zlatan Ibrahimovic (CB, 89): Win 9 online singles matches with a team of 11 MLS players. No icons, flashbacks or players from ENG 1, FRA 1, ITA 1, GER 1 and SPA 1 are allowed.
– Naldo (CDM, 88): Win 7 online single games with no icons, flashbacks and players in ENG 1, ITA 1, GER 1 and SPA 1.
– Gervinho (LW, 87): Win 8 online single games without icons, flashbacks and players from ENG 1, FRA 1, GER 1 and SPA 1.
– Leroy Sane 10-match loan (CAM, 90): Support 10 goals with a Premier League player in professional or higher squad battles.
Should I SBC for “Player X”?
It all depends on how much you like the player and the value he brings to your team.
The best algorithm I’ve found for this was taken from Redditor Imaduckquackk ahead of the FIFA 19 Futmas event in December, and here’s it:
1. Do you want this card?
2. Increases cost by 50%.
3. Name your 5 favorite players within this new budget.
4. If you cannot answer question 3, complete the SBC.
5. If you answered question 3, do not waste your coins.
Item 2 is especially important. You can find out how much a specific player SBC will pay you at Excellence Futbin. The reason for doubling this amount is that the card’s value naturally decreases over the course of a FIFA season, especially if players score special TOTW or (later) TOTS cards.
How do I get the best cards and packs?
As explained in the aforementioned FIFA 19 Ultimate Team Coins Guide, you should not purchase Gold Packs. This also applies to promotional events such as: As of this writing, there is a limited-time Jumbo Rare Player Pack available for 100,000 coins. Do not approach him under any circumstances. The chances of getting close to 100,000 coins back from the 24 players who got you are very slim.
Instead, make the most of the market overflowing with gold cards during the FUT birthday event. Create your own list of transfer targets and prices you are willing to pay (or can afford) for each player. Keep an eye on the market and catch if that player is in the price range you choose. This is how I built strong squads for every major league in the game, like the Serie A teams I drew above.
Can I expect another FUT birthday present?
Yes. The first time you log in to the game after FUT Birthday begins, you will receive a participation reward based on the number of times you have played FIFA 19 so far. They range from custom kits (for 1-8 days of play) to ultimate packs (for 163+ days of play). As you can see from the photo above, I’m kind of an addict…
