Our FIFA 19 guide, as well as the guide that accompanied us last year, will give you all the tools to get off to a great start.

FIFA 19 - FUT Ultimate Team: everything you need to know about OTW (Ones To Watch)

The basics

FUT - Ultimate Team is a card-based custom mode. Instead of choosing a preset team, we can build a team using the cards. The cards in question are divided into: bronze, silver and gold. In turn we find: rare bronze, silver and gold, Besides special papers, which on a weekly basis are included in the Team of the Week, these are players who have distinguished themselves for their performance on the pitch. The 1st TOTW is already available.

In addition, you can find them in packages or buy directly on the market the cards Icon, that is, the players who have made history in the past and who, once added to our team, will make an agreement with any player regardless of their league, team, nationality. Each Icon has three different cards, with different characteristics and ratings. Unlike last year, in which EA Sports dedicated SBCs, so-called Icon Prime Pink Creation Challenges (i.e. the strongest icon among the three available), on a weekly or fortnightly basis, this year the Prime Icons are immediately available in packages.

Tips for getting started

If FIFA 19 is your first FIFA, don't worry. The game is quite immediate and the on-screen tips will help you better understand how FUT mode works. After creating the team, the following will appear on the screen:

• Founding date
• Name of the FUT Club
• Credits
• FIFA Points 
• Experience level

Once you've created your first team, you're ready to go. We recommend starting with single player modes, such as FUT 19 seasons, only so you can learn how to play in FIFA Ultimate Team. In this way you will learn and understand all the dynamics of the modality. We also recommend that you complete as many objectives as possible *, so that you can buy even stronger players.

New FUT Icons:

 

As we improve our team, we can choose to participate in single-player or online competitions. Each game will reward us with a certain amount of credits, which we can use to buy new players or complete an SBC.

Understanding, the news

The latest notes from the developers explain in more detail the origin of the numbers underlying the understanding in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team, as well as illustrate some of the improvements made to this feature to better understand how it works.

See clearly the impact of the agreement on the game

Chemistry changes for a player in your squad can now be seen in the "attributes"Of his biography. Select any owner and press the right analog to show their bio. From here you can go to the "attribute details”To see the exact changes that will be applied in-game for that player, based on the current team chemistry and individual chemistry scores for the style you applied.

On this screen, you can also see the unmodified player base attributes with a + or - next to them, indicating how the chemistry will affect them. In the example below, Paulo Dybala has 84 Finishing, which rises to 94 in the current team thanks to the individual chemistry and the style of the Cannoneer chemistry.

Conversely, players with poor chemistry will see their attributes diminish on this screen. In the example below, Dybala receives penalties to his assessments due to the understanding, as in the case of the base score of 84 in the Finalization, which is reduced by eight points, up to 76.

In FUT 19, each chemistry style has its own icon. The icon is located directly below the player in the main view and allows you to identify on the fly the chemistry style applied to each player.

How is the agreement calculated? 

Chemistry effects are applied to players at the start of each game. These effects depend on team chemistry and individual chemistry, while the modified attributes vary based on the chemistry style applied.

• Owners: 25% from the team agreement and 75% from the agreement between the individual players.
• Players entering from the bench: Substitutes are assigned a fixed individual understanding of 5. Their individual understanding is therefore equal to: 25% of the team understanding and 75% of the fixed individual understanding of 5.

This means that substitutes benefit from the effects of a high team chemistry, but do not receive the effects of the chemistry between individual players.

How to calculate the effects of chemistry on player attributes *:

(Team Chemistry x 0,25) + ((Player Chemistry x 10) x 0,75)

• If the result is greater than 50, the attributes affected by the active Chemistry style will begin to improve until they reach the maximum value. The maximum allowed value for each attribute with the bonus applied is 99.
• If the result is equal to 50, the value is neutral and the player's base attributes will not be affected by the active chemistry style.
• If the result is less than 49, the attributes will be reduced for the negative modifier, down to a minimum of 1.

Starter with team agreement of 100 and player agreement of 10:

(Team Chemistry x 0,25) + ((Player Chemistry x 10) x 0,75)

= (100 x 0,25) + ((10 x 10) x 0,75)

= 25 + 75

= 100

Here's how changes to individual attributes are calculated:

100 - 50 = 50

50 / 50 = 1

1 x (max bonus value) = attribute change.

Substitute with team understanding equal to 100 (and 5 fixed individual understanding):

(Team Chemistry x 0,25) + ((Player Chemistry x 10) x 0,75)

(100 x 0,25) + ((5 x 10) x 0,75)

= 25 + 37,5

= 62,5

Here's how changes to individual attributes are calculated:

62,5 - 50 = 12,5

12,5 / 50 = 0,25

0,25 x (max bonus value) = attribute change.

* In rare cases there may be minimal variation from the exact value of the attribute received by a player. This is due to the way each platform's processor performs comma operations before applying the understanding.

For example, if the Sniper chemistry style is applied to a player with an individual chemistry of 10 and team chemistry of 100, each of his shooting attributes will receive a different bonus: 5 points to Positioning, 15 points to Finishing, 10 points to Shooting. on the fly and 15 points on penalties. However, not all attributes are improved. For example, Shooting Strength and Long Shots remain unchanged.

Team management during the match 

Once a FUT match has started, team management has no effect on chemistry. This includes, among others, the form adopted and the changes of role.

Resistance

A player's Physical attributes are now affected by his stamina during a FUT 19 match. Affected attributes are:

• Acceleration
• Agility
• Elevazione
• Force
• Reflexes
• Marking

Chemistry information will be updated should there be any changes prior to launch or during FUT 19.

We leave you to the FUTWIZ video that explains in detail how the agreement works.

Web App, credits and gift packages

Welcome packs

Once you have downloaded the FIFA 19 Web App (available for Android and iOS) or by logging in directly from the Browser on PC, if we have played FIFA 18, EA will reward us with bonus packages. If you've never played FIFA and it's your first time, you should only get one welcome pack. The cards obtained can be used to complete the first SBCs from the appropriate menu. In this way we have the opportunity to accumulate some credit to start building our team.

Daily gifts and bonuses

These are rewards on a daily basis. Randomly each user will receive packages and credits. To get the bonuses, simply log in to the Web App daily.

The market and the shop

In addition to redeeming the daily bonuses and playing the different modes proposed in Ultimate Team, we can rely on two different methods to improve our team. The simplest, but also the most expensive and uncertain one provides purchase of packs available in the FIFA 19 store.

The packages are divided into:

• Bronze Pack - (400 Credits): Includes 12 items, including players, club items and consumables, at least 10 bronze items including 1 rare.
• Premium Bronze Pack - (750 Credits): Contains triple the rare items of a standard bronze pack, including players, club items and consumables, at least 10 bronze of which 3 are rare.
• Silver Pack - (2500 Credits or 50 FIFA Points): Includes 12 items, including players and consumables, at least 11 silver including 1 rare.
• Premium Silver Pack - (3750 Credits or 75 FIFA Points): Contains triple the rare items of a standard silver pack. Includes 12 items, including players and consumables, at least 11 silver of which 3 are rare.
• Gold Pack - (5000 Credits or 100 FIFA Points): A great pack for finding the best players. Includes 12 items, including players and consumables, at least 10 gold including 1 rare.
• Premium Gold Pack - (7500 Credits or 150 FIFA Points): Contains triple the rare items of a standard gold pack, including players, club items and consumables, at least 10 gold including 3 rare.

For the purchase we can use the credits directly or alternatively buy FIFA Points with real currency. The available cuts are as follows:

• 100 FIFA Points - € 0,99
• 250 FIFA Points - € 2,49
• 500 FIFA Points - € 4,99
• 750 FIFA Points - € 7,49
• 1050 FIFA Points - € 9,99
• 1.600 FIFA Points - € 14,99
• 2.200 FIFA Points - € 19,99
• 4.600 FIFA Points - € 39,99
• 12.000 FIFA Points - € 99,99

Spending money will certainly increase our chances of finding the best players. But remember that FIFA 19 is like a lottery, so you have to have a lot of luck to find the top players or icon cards that could literally change the history of our team, given the high costs these players have in terms of reselling on the market.

Below are the current reward odds divided by package:

• Bronze: 100% chance to find 45+ players, 87% chance to find 60+ players, 41% chance to find 63+ players.
• Premium Bronze Package: 100% chance to find 45+ players, 92% chance to find 60+ players, 58% chance to find 63+ players.
• Silver: 100% chance of finding 65+ players, 62% chance of finding 70+ players, 11% chance of finding 73+ players.
• Premium Silver Pack: 100% chance to find 65+ players, 72% chance to find 70+ players, 23% chance to find 73+ players.
• Gold: 100% chance to find 75+ players, 9,1% chance to find 82+ players, 3,4% chance to find 83+ players.
• Premium Gold Package: 100% chance to find 75+ players, 20% chance to find 82+ players, 4,5% chance to find 84+ players.

The probabilities were calculated by simulating the opening of packets. Obtaining special cards, such as OTWs (Players to Watch) or other very rare cards have a probability of less than 1%.

As you might expect, the odds decrease as potential earnings increase. Here are the current reward odds broken down by package type, but be sure to keep checking the game for the most up-to-date stats.

The second way to earn credits and buy players is the market. Trading is one of the main pieces in FIFA and if you follow the market dynamics well, maybe before the special events you could get a good profit. There is no one-size-fits-all method to trade, there are several, some rely on NIF cards (i.e. normal ones, mostly rare gold), others on IFs (i.e. in-form players that are released in the weekly TOTW) . In particular, the trading of IFs is the one that requires more credits and patience in reselling. It may take weeks or even a month before reselling purchased players.

The guide will be updated during the football season also on the sale so for the moment it is enough to know that the market dynamics can be influenced by many factors that over the course of the year significantly change the mechanisms of the sale. Some are predictable, like the aforementioned special events, others are not. But we will try to keep you constantly updated!

Sniping

One of the most used methods of making credits is sniping. This technique has already existed for some years but what does it consist of?

Sniping" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://Soultricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/fifa-18-Sniping-350x350.jpg" data-large-file="https://Soultricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/fifa-18-Sniping-1024x576.jpg" src="/images/posts/13fe7fa67bfcb59a5d547b35ee6682b3-5.jpg">

There are two ways to snip: Auctions and Buy Now. Arm yourself with a lot of patience, a good amount of credits and a good connection. The most used is based on the Buy now and the mechanism behind it is simple, the lack of knowledge on the part of users of the real value of some players. Such players could be placed on the market at a much lower value than the real purchase value. The mechanics also work from the Web App and especially in periods when there are SBCs dedicated to some teams, players and / or events. Maybe Silver players of negligible value, go up at disproportionate prices (even up to 10k).

However, the time to complete the player's purchase is very short, it is a fraction of a second and this is where the connection comes into play (having the fiber is a great advantage).

To snip a card, you have to check the value of that card on the market, enter the parameters, MAX buy now you want to spend and MAX price on 10.000.000. Then, hold the indicator on MAX price and press the L1 key to quickly lower it, circle to return to the search screen and triangle to start the search. Take these steps and you will surely see that players will come out to snip. If after several attempts you do not find anyone at that price, or you change the parameter of the MAX buy now or market target. Don't overdo it with sniping otherwise FIFA could mistake you for a Bot and temporarily ban you from the market or even permanently ban your account.

Auction sniping, on the other hand, could be an alternative. Unfortunately, it depends on how many users have targeted that particular target. The player could both go away at the traditional selling price and instead go away at a lower price. You could try, especially at night.

Complete the objectives

Daily and weekly objectives are available in Ultimate Team, and will reward the user with credits, packs, and sometimes players. Some of these take only seconds, others instead of completing certain actions in the game. The bonuses for the most part are not great, often they are consumables (form cards or contracts), other times of credits (250, 400, 500 credits) and other times packages (mostly bronze and silver). A few credits or consumables never hurt, especially the latter are essential to keep our players in shape for longer. If we don't use them, we will be forced to remove players long before the end of a game.

Squad Battles

The Squad Battles, introduced with enormous success last year in FIFA 18, make their big comeback in FIFA 19. Every day we will be called to play a certain number of matches (4). The competition lasts a week and in total we will play about forty games. Depending on the chosen difficulty level, we will get a certain amount of points. Each score range corresponds to a placement in the ranking, the higher this position, the higher the credits obtained and the better the gift packages available. Each team we face will have a different rating. Usually we start from a value between 50 and 70 and then arrive at values ​​between 82 and 90+.

Division Rivals - The new way to compete online

When you first start Division Rivals, you will play a number of qualifying matches to determine your skill level against other players from around the world. You will be assigned a performance-based skill score in these matches which will determine your precise split. The outcome of each match you play in your division during the week will affect your Skill Score; accumulate enough points and you can be promoted to a higher division with more skilled players.

Weekly Score

Each week of Division Rivals is a separate competition, and you can earn rewards at the end of each week. The weekly score will determine not only the level in the division, but each position will have better rewards.

Qualification for the FUT Champions - Weekend League

Each victory in Division Rivals will bring you closer and closer to the Weekend League. The system has been completely revised and is no longer based on qualifying tournaments. When you earn enough points, you can decide whether to participate in the current Weekend League or keep them and use them for a future qualification, thus being able to decide which weekend to play. The automatic qualification to the Weekend League works differently; every victory in the Weekend League rewards you with points that you can use to enter an upcoming Weekend League.

In summary:

• Access the Web App to get rewards.
• Avoid buying packages with your credits, it would be useless. Maybe wait for the game to come out on PC and Console and buy some FIFA Points.
• Rely on the market and buying and selling. At this moment, through the appropriate App it is possible to start doing some trading with Gold players. For example, Higuain was on sale yesterday (September 20, 2018) at 18k, today its price has already increased by 12k and it is not impossible that it will reach 50k or more in the coming weeks. So keep an eye on the market especially at night.
• Play Squad Battles
• Play the FUT Champions (no longer 40 but 30 games playable on the weekend), it will give you additional credits that vary according to the band in which you will be placed at the end of the Weekend League.
• Engage in Squad Building Challenges using the players who advance or the non-tradable ones.
• Challenge the SdS (Team of the Week). By clicking on the following link you can keep up to date on the weekly SdS
• If you've played FIFA before, redeem Ultimate Team bonuses from the EA Catalog. You will also find uniforms, players on loan and extra slots for transfers.
• Speaking of chemistry, once you reach the maximum understanding when you start a match it won't have so much weight in terms of substitutions and swapping positions on the pitch. You can then let Lozano in even if you have a Serie A and maybe use an external player in attack. Surely it is a contradiction to what we have just told you but in FUT it works like this. It is not uncommon to find meaningless substitutions and the incoming player, perhaps without any agreement, he will be the one to make the difference on the pitch. So keep that strategic possibility in mind.
• Remember to keep the fitness cards, they will be indispensable if you do not want to rest the players between matches.
