I think maybe do themed squadbuilders and play an episode with that team to use new players even if it’s just friendlies, especially as most of the grinding for the arsenal team has been done apart from the icons. I feel like you’ll lose interest in playing if you can’t grow your team any further because you’ve stretched its potential This can even be just once a week
I personally think an Engine would be better on Gio no? You dont really need that extra 3 pace, she already have amazing shooting, and the engine will get that Short and Long passing up by quite a bit. Nonetheless a very good episode, Keep it up!
These evaluations and odeguard sbc have given so much more life to this series whenever nep is happy and excited to play the game it’s so much fun to watch team looks amazing now amazing episode as always 👌
Loving the content! I've been doing something similiar with a CPFC starting XI, most of it has been sitting there gathering dust with all of the evo's barr one being used for the team with the thoughts being to invest the time in getting them up now with the long term plan to be to make them usable through evo's going forward. I'm currently able to start and play with 86 doucoure and edoudard and have been using 80 mitchell for a while too for chem while i lacked another decent palace starter. I think how you've blended the past and present in with the meta has worked perfectly as the extra wins the meta has given you has helped with the overall coin total which in turn has allowed you to buy the PnP icons you've wanted and at least have the opportunity to have used them and not liked them and moved on to bigger targets. I think what's set this year apart from previous rtg's and why in its current format this works is becasue the folk hero's can grow over the course of the year too, whether it be (excuse the spelling cba to look her up) wooben moy or havertz having some of them fundementally apart of the team is what keeps the spirit alive. This is by and far your best series yet nep. Keep up the good work!
Hey Nep, I run a Barca evo this year, I have Ferran put into the Founders Evo and now I just put Gavi into the new centurions one. Also if the Barca players don't fit, I am evolving Arsenal players, I got Nketiah Evo, Declan Rice and I want to complete that Odegard sbc. Evos are the best thing in this game. Love the series. Keep up the good work!!
Hi Neppo, I have built 3 separate squads this year because of the introduction of EVOS 1.Full Madrid squad with past icons or heroes only 2.Full Ghana 🇬🇭 squad with past icons or heroes only 3.And a mix of Madrid and Ghana players in one squad and I'm having so much fun, so try doing something like that with your arsenal squad and English players as well... love ❤ from Ghana 🇬🇭
I ended up using most of the foundations cards in SBCs. Like you I'm just never going to end up using them, so I'm better off putting them towards something I will use. I even put the 83s into the ones that gave a 87 Trapp or 86 Le Sommer, who can then be used to get an Odegaard for example, rather than keep the fodder in the club
2:05 there was another Arsenal player there, called Lacasse, who would also have been very interesting to see her upgrade.. she would've been 86 overall rated as well
keep collecting the other cards too, there will some points where u will have champs with one league or friendly cups with one league, also icon tokens for special squads... maybe pick random cards to put into the team from time to time like 8/3 arsenal/other kind of split. i have same Real Madrid evo theme but i really enjoy putting random cards from time to time :)
really jealous that u can get this joy of playing with the arsenal players, being from the states I wish i had the same connection to a team from childhood like u do. Im a Bayern fan personally but i dont get the same joy using those players as i would if i was playing madden using dallas cowboys players, keep up the good epis!
I think while you're enjoying playing with a full Arsenal P&P right now, limiting yourself in the long run is eventually going to become a bit boring for you, bud. Another thing to consider, what happens if you pack a MEGA card later in the cycle, untradeable. Say you pack a TOTY Mbappe, what happens when you can't use him other than off the bench because you've decided to limit yourself and the teams you can build. Either way mate, really enjoying the series, keep it up! :)
Hey nep i love this series very much ,and about what you said at the end of the video i think you could use arsenal team in first like 10 matches of UT champions and rivels and you could build another team with the other cards you get use it in last 10 games of champs or div 1 and elite when the teams get to much sweaty and stronger
Hey Nep! In my humble opinion, you should keep the Arsenal past and present, and have a “main” team with your top meta players or the team that you think is meta. Perhaps you can play half of your champs games with the Arsenal P&P and the other half with your main team. I think solely focusing on having the best Arsenal P&P would limit the series to aiming towards one objective, when it can be many more. Loving the rtg
Use the players you like, that's my first rule (to me). But you dont HAVE to use them every single game, for example, you have enough good Arsenal players to build a base of 3 to 5 Arsenal players and complete the team with the squad foundations players and try them out, 3 Rivals wins later you change the team or go back to the full Arsenal one. You don't need to play the same 11 everytime, if your brain wants you to use Mendy for this or that game, do it ! Do what makes you enjoy the game, don't worry about the rest
Hey neppo, brilliant video as always. Arsenal evo/team makes it a unique series. Loads of other doing normal RTGs. Aswell as looking at icons have you thought about using any arsenal hero's?
Hi Nep, I think going down the Arsenal only route is probably not the best idea as you’ll miss out on trying new/interesting cards you acquire making objectives obsolete. Instead maybe having a specific Arsenal only WL either once a month or once a season could be a good idea as to not miss out and be able to track the progress of the entire Arsenal only squad. Love the content keep it up!
Hey nep, if you’re sick of courtois I’d highly recommend kobel, he’s the best keeper I’ve used since the game came out, obviously you’ll need a different CB and I’d recommend sule, he’s honestly ridiculous for me and preferred him over militao, they’d both get full chem too for a straight swap for courtois and militao and would get nation links too. Only thing is mendy would have no chemistry
I'm personally enjoying it more as it's directly Arsenal based, (even as someone that isn't an Arsenal fan) and it seems like you are too. I would just keep collecting up the fodder for SBC that interest you or suit the team. They don't have to strictly be an Arsenal player imo, same with Eder Militao and Mendy, etc but for example a random Icon like the Pirlo card that just came about. I'd love to see players like that pop into the side as long as it's not every SBC to the point they take over the team.
Hi nep, I think you should go full arsenal PnP for champs and rivals and use objective and cool SBCs ect. In the many friendlies lounges and commit to using/building a new team for every lounge, hopefully that will scratch the arsenal itch and stick to the RTG but also make use of the decent and fun players your earning.
I think you should have a mix, Im working on a Man Utd past and present team but I only ever use 3 or 4 players in my main team at a time to allow me to freshen things up. Otherwise the game loses a lot of fun because you’re so closed off on the players you can use. Like what I’d you pack a mental card like Mbappe or an Icon? Will you just not use them because they aren’t linked to Arsenal?
Nep I think you should split the games you play between full Arsenal and your best/most fun team. Maybe 10 games each in WL or doing Champs with Arsenal and rivals with the other.
I like the idea of one game mode where you switch it up and use different teams, but agree it’s tricky to pick which mode. If all arsenal i geuss they just become fodder for arsenal sbcs
You need to go full send arsenal past and present. It’s making me jealous of the way you’re playing the game. Definitely the most fun and organic way to do it
Neppo, I think the team you enjoy the most is Arsenal only so keep that going - but maybe add in 5 games of champs per week with a themed squad builder - Ie Danilo perreira squad for last 5 games of champs , This allows you to stay happily @ 11-14 wins and spend the rest of the games with a new themed squad , could even play some quali games and a handful of champs games with the new squad.
In my opinion I have kept all the foundation cards is for special objectives like the themed pursuit and use them in sbcs when theyre not usable anymore.
I like your Arsenal past and present for Champs as it is a challenge for you to get wins! then use other fun teams with the random fun players for objectives and fun rivals runs.
Hey Nep, sorry about the long comment, just wanted to know what you think about evos expiring? I did not do relentless winger, but i now see one of my favorite norwegian players Ofkir would be a great option in centurions sharp shooter if i had put him in relentless winger. But at the time, 50k was not worth it for a 72 rated card. If it was still there i would pay the coins in a heartbeat. So i wonder why evos have to have an expiration? If ea want more coins off the market, they shouldnt have the expiration, because in my situation, i did not spend the 50k on relentless winger at all. Love this series mate keep up the great work
If they didn’t expire no one would do the evos. People would just wait to see which player(s) they could chain evo to create the most meta ones. I understand why expire, but once you’ve selected a player to evo I think you should be able to take as long as you want to complete it.
I agree with mixing arsenal players with meta players, Im doing it with spurs players, Son, maddison, solomon, skipp, romero mixed with trezeguet, kounde, tchouemeni and mendy, however i will be evolving and adding veliz and bentancur
hey nep, i feel like you should try to keep a couple arsenal players in the team most or all of the time but definitely rotate other cards and find other ones you enjoy and if there’s ever a point where is doesn’t make sense to evo an arsenal player then do whatever however i find it most enjoyable when i hear you say your enjoying playing with this team or player etc
Hey nep, these are some cool players y could by : sol Campbell rosicky ,Freddie,wilo.cole,cech,Kanu,Alex Scott and more that I can’t name rn I think u should start spending coins and not just looking at first owner because then u won’t be able to get the best team possible
Do 2 teams. Full meta team for Rivals and then Full arsenal team for champs exclusively every week. Aim to get to elite division with your elite team and rank 1 champs with the arsenal team
First 10 with either arsenal or favourite team, other 10 with the other choice for fut champs. First 3 rivals win with team frim random leagues, next 4 with arsenal.
I say continue with the arsenal team, it seems to bring you joy and you are very passionate about it and it shows… as for the other cards I say collect them and if you need them for challenges or you need a break from arsenal they are there. I do wish I handled my account a little differently, but good luck
Hey Nep, do you think they will do a founders evo once per season? Or just let it turn to a normal evo in other evolution options. Feels like with the different design they would put out more founders evolutions where you have to use the one you started with
Id say just use the arsenal players nep use the objectives and cheap sbc players from other clubs for future objectives and or sbcs i wouldn't be worried about using meta card's when its more fun and engaging to use the players you like❤
You can easily just do the foundations for Icon swaps etc. Or do a rule where no matter the team you always need 4 Arsenal players so you can try new cards but keeping a core of Arsenal still.
I think it's better to set a number of arsenal players that have to be in your rivals/champs team, say like 3 or 4 each team, then it gives you enough flexibility to change up the squad to try new cards that arent arsenal orientated
Love this series! I really hope you decide to stick with Arsenal past & present only, you've inspired me to do the same with my team Man City and I'm actually enjoying UT for the first time since Agbonlahor was meta.
Yo nep not sure how well this will work for you but im doing a similar rtg with liverpool and try to do 4 evos with 3 past and presents so most of my team is LFC then 4 meta to allow me to compete and push 18W in champs. love your concept keep it up!!!
How about genuinely interesting or requested players you play 5 or 6 games of rivals with them giving them a good go over and make a 6 or so minute video with a review. Can't hurt to try
Hey nep, use arsenal past and present and pick them other cards up in the process there will be objectives that will require nationalitys or leagues wouldnt hurt to have them in the club
Hey Nep, why don’t you create a team for qualifiers each week and you have to use a starting 11 that has minimal Arsenal players in it. That would mean you could test out new players with intention. one squad builder video a week and change it up for yourself
Hi Nep. How about building a different team with the unlocked players for champs qualification? That way you get to use them but still play with the Arsenal team for the majority of games
so strange that when you move the keeper, they seem to make the same kind of animation. possible bug? wouldn't put it past EA. happened with they're keeper in the final game too, ball was just closer to the chest
Nep, you do you! If you wanna play with different players why not? You’d be one of a few creators that actively uses the foundation cards so it’s interesting to see how they play and it helps the community from that too
hi nep i was wondering how you control your rage when playing as i have anger issues and get very competative and start to get frustrated when i concede. Can you halp me?
You need to do what you think is going to keep you more motivated and engaged in the game for the longest amount of time, and if that means only Arsenal because you love it then soo be it, But if there are time when your not feeling it then there's nothing wrong with changing it up.
Hey Nep keep up the great work , i dont get why people either are complaining about the games needed to grind these Evo's or keep asking the question is it worth the coins... Honestly its the best thing this game has had in its ultimate team history ,you can just grind the evos by just getting some rivals, champ qualys and champ games..and for goals etc just go squad battles. just be greateful theres no evo lounge 😂. Genuinely what will make this market get off the floor seriously how can they fix this its genuinely so frustrating nothing sells. Sorry for the long comment.
Why dont you have 2 teams one for the arsenal team one for just new cards to try out and if there no good put them in a sbc qnd Wish I could afford fc24 loving what there doing with these upgrades
