FUT CHAMPS REWARDS!! - FC24 Road To Glory 

I’m not certain why winning being the main fun-driver comes as a surprise. It’s a sports game. Whether it be in person or digital, no one has fun when they lose and has a lot of fun when they do. Regardless of how it happens.

Hi Nep, Just a quick idea, why don’t you log your champs results on a spreadsheet each week so you can see how you’ve done/improved throughout the year? Follow up thought: You could also add notes such as “this week we added this player, used this formation, etc. etc.”

That Jacksiddell team you played was one of the nicest teams I’ve seen so far, the guy played amazing as well I can’t lie!

The big thing for me is just enjoying the game. I’m not a streamer and so winning doesn’t matter to me. I play all 32 squad battles every week. I play moments. I play the occasional game of rivals (usually just enough to get my wins and rewards on a Thursday). I try to complete unique player SBCs and I use players that I like. I used Centurions Trent and Winter Wildcard De Bruyne last year until Futties came out. I really enjoy the fact that you’re using Arsenal players exclusively where you can. It’s really fun. And it means that you won’t have the best players in all positions and that challenge makes the game more enjoyable. And as daft as it sounds, you become attached to certain players and even if you get better ones, you won’t swap them.

Nep the kind of guy who doesn’t give away his last champs game 😂

The title of the uploads don't register with me, I watch because I want to watch and follow the journey regardless. Your Arsenal Evo RTG inspired my Liverpool Evo route. But whether you stick with the Arsenal players or change it up ultimately doesn't matter to me, what I enjoy is your engagement in the series and you enjoying it.

Moans that ‘everyone’s a sweat’ after spending the first 10 minutes explaining why he only scores goals from the wings 😂

I'm happy for you u did the pacey winger on her, looking at all the Arsenal options for Sharpshooter I defo missed out, glad I get to watch her here

Like to pack R9 this year 🔥

Hey Nep, for Keepers I've had Maignan on 1 or 2 chem the whole time and he's been great for me, might be one to consider

One of the most painful thing in fut champs is getting a late penalty to win the game and the person quitting before it’s taken - it’s incredible you can pause before a pen now and surely EA can implement it so if you play say over 30 minutes if the person quits you get the win. The toxicity of some players is so painful, wasted all that time as the game treats it like it never happened but all your players lose one match on their contract.

i am kinda liking how you've been doing the series with the amount of arsenal players you have been using.. why not when an SBC card comes out just make a new squad around that player with or without arsenal players only use it for 5-10 rivals games then use the Evo squad till champs or vice versa.. you will never please the masses no matter what you do

i am making a past and now feyenoord team , Malacia , Kuyt , Fer , V Persie. Cant wait to evo potm Gimenez

I feel like most of the people and you would enjoy to use your coins for nostalgic icons/hero’s and ‘fun’ evo’s than than for example going for the saka cl card

Officially putting my vote in to call it FC. Same syllables as FIFA and Madden.

Nep put any title you want man I’m here for whatever you have to do to continue the series!

About the keepers, Ive found that using keeper movement to put them back on their line works rly well. It makes 0 sense for football brains but it works rly well in game. just give it a shot

the fun fact about the cutbacks is that people don't expect you to play beautiful football now

0:41 Does anyone know how you do this move? With the burst of pace?

I’m doing the same RTG As you but just with Liverpool players and what’s helped me was making it past players too

I have been a doing Poland To Glory and have only used Polish players. Safe to say my players are not ‘meta’ however i enjoy my team because it’s my team. I evolved a 64 polish bronze into a 87 rated for 150k, he is not worth 150k but it’s my card and I know no one else has that card. I’ve also used terrible but still manage to enjoy the game as it feels I’m learning the game every day.

I know it’s unpopular opinion but this 71 depth meta is way better than the 1 depth drop back out your controller down and just hold second man press like last year was that made me stop playing. It’s much more engaging this year.

Hey nep, just to add to the whole hybrid vs full arsenal team just wanted to say i’m running a full scotland team this year, its been super fun and i’ve played hundreds of games with them but its getting to the point in champs where I just cant compete anymore. Specifically Angus Gunn in goal was driving me up the wall. Im now using players like Zambrotta and Marchisio from the sbc packs and its been so much more enjoyable. I think it’s definitely possible to find a good balance between having fun with your favourite players and using some meta players to help you win more. As you say, winning is the most fun in this game and I find it so much more fun using a couple meta players to help me get to that 9 or 11 win mark. thanks 😊

Nep... the thing you told about Kiwior will not work unless you submit or discard the Kiwior you already have Evoed. I'm in the same situation. I did the welcome and Golden GlowUP II with a bought Gravenberch. Now I have a regular Gravenberch in the club. I tried to see if I could use the regular one in the Centurions Box-to-Box. When I tried to see the example I got the message which basically says that you can't Evo a player of which already have an Evoed version. I discarded my already Evoed Gravenberch to see if I would still get the message and I could see the example to see what his card will become. That would mean you could only have one Evo-version of a player in your club. It's the dilemma I'm in now, not sure what to do with it.

In all honesty Nep i cant recall a single complete epsode where you actually just used an Arsenal evo team so perhaps try thst for a bit first before changing it up, just a thought, i’ll watch either way. Peace

fifa in the day was really fun especially the era where theres trade btwn clubs and when utubers were doing pinkslips. that era was golden. with the rise of harry, ksi, anesongib etc putting their clubs on the line over friendlies. most have moved on after making it big because playing fifa now is more of a chore than fun. its all dead content on utube except for some RTGs like NepZ.

Hi nep, loving the series, I’m doing something similar with arsenal and Plymouth argyle. I’m doing reiss nelson for the new winger evo, did you consider him instead of gio?

Nep, would you recommend trying to do all EVO’s just for the possibility of further upgrading that?

Hey nep, I'm doing Poland/Barca PnP evos and I use two teams. Use Polish team mainly for squad battles and rivals (until it has enough evos for champs), and barca pnp that i mainly use for champs. A good idea for you could also be having two seperate teams that you use for different things. Have full arsenal team for squad battles of players that you don't usually use, more op arsenal team for rivals and then mixed team for champs. In this way you will be able to play with arsenal players you don't usually use, while still using the main XI and then on top of that have ability to use other players in champs. Every weekend just build a team around some constraints for champs, something like 2 def 2mid and 1 st has to be arsenal and then 2def 2mid 1 st has to be other players, could even go as far as restricting yourself from using the same 5 arsenal players every week.

Something that kills me is RU-vidrs saying the meta is boring but stick to it to try win. Every year you play against noobs sweating whatever the meta is over and over again to see no results. AA nine skills used to be such a sick FIFA player and then slowly died after playing the meta instead of his style. Why buy a game to only play it in one way with players you don’t like to try get wins.

A question I need answering is, I have over 200 moments stars, will I lose them with the new season or do I just keep them?

Facts got so many players i havent used but want to and will prob end up in sbc b4 they get playtime

Loving this series nep. I choked 14 wins myself but glad it worked out packed VVD & some decent fodder. At least it was worth the stress 😂

Nep you should try to have one of your lb or rb to join the attack/overlap - Rolfo is broken and really helps with the cut backs. Also, 5212 with attacking wing backs is OP

Gave WL a miss this weekend, rivals and trailblazer friendly is more than enough. Every game is a grind

14:55 oh really 😂😂😂

Hey Nep, what camera settings do you use?

This is completely off topic but still can’t believe ea never implemented Volta to fut as a side mode would be good and fun for objectives feel like this is one of eas biggest mistakes for a easy way to make players happy rather than objectives in friendlys that feel rinse and repeat

i packed untradable yashin and hes pretty solid, havnt got 2 many complaints about him

I went 8-12 this weekend. In the Jumbo rare players pack i got Van Dijk walkout, De Bruyne double walkout. Rafael Leao, Ederson, Trent, Kyle Walker and an inform were in the same pack aswell. Made about 500k

You would 100% lose less if you didnt show you are "Nep" in your team name etc

Hey nep, keep it up love the RTG. You think they'll add an evo for lower rated/non meta icons, make them more usable.

I really don't like that you play the last game just to see if you can win it. 13 wins is the same as 11 and makes no difference to how you will do next weekend and you have potentially deprived someone of a higher rank. If you want to track progress and see how you are improving then your final rank is a good enough indicator of that or you can keep track of your record game by game to see the breakdown of the champs run but taking a win from someone else for the sake of it is not very fair to the poor person who matched you. Generally loving the series and look forward to each video, just wanted to say my piece on this

if you want the mids to be abit wider on your formation put them on free roam, i play the same formation and its great

Walti is dope still in my squad from day 1

personally with this arsenal vs meta convo if i was you, i would allow myself 1 or 2 players per week that you wana test out. buy and use a rashford or neymar or sawa icon etc use them in rivals and champs sell them on move on, still use your arsenal evos but can also give a few players like rooney a burn etc.

14:54 Me when I lost my V-card

Courtois has been great on a Glove chemstyle for me. Try that on him

Nep just keep it arsenal man; you clearly want to keep it all arsenal:

Courtois was so good for me until the update don’t know what happened but he’s so bad and ederson was so bad before the update now he’s nuts

So is it better to have 90+ shot power or under 90 for finesse and trivela?

I dont understand why they dont let you end your champs run like they do with the qualifying. I feel like EA might not want to give wins when people leave at 0-0 as loads leave to finish their last few champs games. If we could end the run, then theres no need to give away games or just leave at 0-0

Hi, Nep. Love the content as always, especially the arsenal evo side. But what about if you just stuck to one Formation rather than changing every now and then? If you stick to one you may get more confident in your set up, rather than doubting yourself each time you have a stinky sesh.

Maritz to Left Back, buy Kyle Walker and Ederson?

I think fifa reached its all time low, people are playing like its their life, what i mean is people only passing in the back and almost never attacking, its just no fun anymore 😮

Hey nepo, i had Ederson and actually hated him so swapped him back for Pope, i now have Alison who is brilliant i must admit.

just use a mixture of arsenal and other fun players you want to use. youre already contemplating it and its october, so odds are youll change at some point

Currently i use one more 'fun' team in rivals and one ,ore "meta" with fun but good players it balances really well for me and i enjoy it a lot, worth to try that out Nep?

Hey nep love the series and content I believe you should continue to use mostly arsenal players (not all)to challenge your self then later around after toty you should use anyone you want

I don't understand the people that only watch if someone packs something good, like it isn't that exciting to watch someone get a good player in a pack...

Surely just call it “FUT” (Football Ultimate Team) ? I know it used to mean fifa ultimate team but it’s now EA Football Club right? So FUT still works and isn’t a mouthful

Courtois is proper bad this year, can’t make a save at all

Hey Nep I’ve been loving the series keep up the great work! This is a bit of a weird idea I suppose and I seriously doubt EA would ever do this, but for people that want to use specific players in their team that are just above the threshold of the stat or overall caps I think it would be cool if players could be downgraded so that can fit an evolution. For example you want to use Christian Pulisic in the Prolific Winger evolution, but he’s too fast already so drop his stats down to the cap of the evolution and you can still use him for it. Not sure if this makes much sense but I think it would be a cool idea because I have noticed many players I want to use are only a few stat points over but I would love to evolve them.

I get 11 wins and pack mbappe i was so happy

I think you can do a bit of both when it comes to the players you use. You'll need to play a lot of SBs for Evos so no reason why you can't use all the arsenal cards for that and then incorporate more meta, non arsenal players for more competitive online games. Ultimately its an RTG so getting better rewards in champs, rivals etc will help get more coins into the club to aid with future arsenal evos

I got tradable Ockocha from an ultimate pack 11 wins

advanced defending and holding x for playstation or a for xbox would help you body ronaldo off the ball on that situation. not sure if you have advanced defending on though.

Thanks for postning this so I don't have to play it! 😅

I got exactly same as you nep 13-7 from 12-8 last night and I had a worse team than last week n just had fast players made such a difference

I don’t get what he’s complaining about. He’s whining that he can’t use everyone when the main objective is to use all arsenal players you can’t use everyone you can use 11 starters and 5 subs just pick your players and stop complaining their all options it’s up to you who to use

If you’ve evo’d a player and you then got another version of the same player you can’t evo the new one I think

bro big pet peev but WHY DONT YOU NUMBER EVERYONE CORRECTLY😂😂😂😂

What you can do is just accept it’s a scripted game

Hey nep can you please change the kit numbers on players. Having 2 on havertz triggers me 😂😂😂

I want this game to add icon mangers

An Arsenal fan who doesn’t know who Miedema is 🤣🤣

imo the worst thing about fifa attacking wise is the inability to score from crosses. crosses produce the most goals in real life footy compared to other goal types. but in fifa you cant score from a cross (unless its a corner) which leaves people with 2 options when their winger has ball: cut in and finesse or go down line and cutback. if crosses were more effective i honeslty think it would lower the cutback meta

You are never gonna please everyone just stick to your Arsenal players as you said with Evolutions most of your team will be better by the end

Hi Nep, i like to follow your 6pm and rtg. Keep up the good work. I know you are a great supporter of evolution but i rarely see teams with evolved player unless they are working on evolving them, it seems to me that the current meta players are still much better than evolved players. Do you forsee that in the near future evolution players will be at least matching the power curve specially with ea keep evolving meta players via weekly events.

What’s going to happen with there’s loads more promo Arsenal cards in the game that are better than the evolutions.

Daily watcher, love the content. Packed Centurions Koeman. He’s not that expensive but wow he’s incredible. Almost VVD like would suggest

I’m doing a evo rtg with Ajax…. Its the worst year ever to do it lmao😂🥲🥲

Hi Nep, I would love to see some PnP players not just icons but players like Mkhitaryan and Bellerin + Coquelin enter the team for some games. I’m also like you and have sentimental value over objective cards that I’ve collected but barely use them

i dont know what it is, but i really enjoy this game

Ederson was abysmal for me would not recommend him. Alisson is a bit better but still does the stupid parries and lets easy shots go in

Please put the correct squad numbers on the players

They aren't your tactics. I might have missed you mentioning the person whose tactics they are but if not that's poor

Hey Nep, you mentioned on your main channel that mudryk isn’t worth doing, I have done him as I’m doing a Chelsea team, surely players like that even if he doesn’t get upgraded have the opportunity to get evoed up again further down the line, and in his case he only needs a few extra bits to be unreal. Great content as always.

14:55 🤨

Why do you show the match highlights again? We’ve literally just watched them

Goalies are just personal preference in reality. All of them suck in some way shape or form. For me, Ter Stegan has by far and away been the best for me and Alisson, Ederson, etc have sucked beyond belief. Just crazy some games they’ll save everything and the next they’re getting scored on left and right. Idk what the answer is to keepers. I don’t know how EA can improve the keeper AI.

you defo expect to much of Gks

I've watched every episode of this series up to now and will continue to do so. However, I just feel it's becoming slightly boring and feels like each episode is almost identical. We get a new Evo, we know you're picking an Arsenal player. We get a new player objective, SBC or promo player and we know you're 99.9% not going to use them or even consider using them. Is the whole point of this series just to Evo as many Arsenal players as you can throughout the game cycle and work towards Thierry Henry and Patrick Viera in the meantime? If so, would you not consider making a second RTG? One that isn't so predictable and obvious, one where you can use different players, meta players/fun players, one where each week your team as whole is always chopping and changing because you have so many different avenues to go down. You're obviously enjoying this series which is all that matters at the end of the day but I believe a second RTG would be just as fun alongside this series.

Gameplay worst after patch. R1 cut buck makes me sick

Ederson is garbage for me so think it’s just all gk’s unfortunately

Sick of sweats like you down the byline

18:43 you said it yourself.. "Everyone has 99 Pace"... lol. going back to the Mudryk showdown video you posted about how EA got it wrong. No... you're just NOT a pro player so you don't understand the VALUE of pace in this game.

I just think goalkeepers are awful in this fifa

Can't stand the talking over gameplay. It's awfull nep.

I was 8-3 then finished 11-7 😂
