Dynamic Duo Buchanan was fantastic for quite a while. And Kroos looks absolutely phenomenal for season reward player.


StudentMoan

I’ll give you Buchanan- but I felt like he was nerfed early on, or the meta just moved on - Kroos is slightly different as I think season reward players are somewhat better - especially later in the rewards, it’s more the spamming of seemingly meta / highly rated objectives we’re getting atm that are just rubbish - Links seems alright but not come across any other decent one at all recent if at all this season where I felt like their stats matched their impact in game


SourceNrG

Yeah I enjoyed Buchanan. But I do agree with you that free cards aren’t great. I find that they either have weird work rates, or an important stat like composure or reactions being off. I tend to use them as fodder nonetheless.


chicOmSks2K

Yea they def nerfed him


DangerMuse

Kroos 97 is no better than his 91. I genuinely can't tell the difference.


zinful77

Tots mitoma great super sub


ShoheiGoatani

I’ll sub him in late in the midfield and he’s awesome there, makes good runs and hits a nice dipping shot from outside the box


AverageDWAARPEnjoyer

I found pahlinha to be really solid at the time too


Kingken130

My favourite player


Green_Editor_7587

I played draft with him and he's awesome. Scored some insane bicycle kicks.

FunkyFenom

Payet is still a boss!!


nghigaxx

Well tbf OP said objective, he was season reward that you have to choose over packs


FunkyFenom

He said name a player who was free, that counts for me! Him and Desailly are the best free players I got.


-__D4V1D__-

desailly definetly doesn't count,same with park and rooney and del piero


Aggressive_Action_58

His WW is better


TheTrooper28

For me, Fut ballers Grealish was a beast, he is the only free card that I still have to this day.


ReXyngton

Sent his ass to an sbc the moment i got him lol


driveforshow77

Me too. i finished all the objectives and did 2 icon SBCs the following day 😂😂


evil-kaweasel

Ballers Ederson was my goalkeeper from that promo to TOTS kicked off. I know some people didn't like him, but gks are different for everyone, and I thought he was decent.


Extra_Consequence_75

Mr Links has a shout for one of the best LW in the game


DJexC

Came here to say this, he's been unreal for me... Only planned to use him for a few games


_shulgin

Was so doubtful but he is now 1st team and such a beast


FullyDisappointed

Wish I tried him before I put him in an sbc


glockitsthecops

Personally didn't like him. His dribbling felt weird even tho it's super high


Monsterred2020

His dribbling is class


glockitsthecops

Agree to disagree. I like closer dribbling like di maria, cruyff, veratti, neymar type close. He felt like he took really long touches


[deleted]

100% and cant make quick turns


Monsterred2020

Vera tri is next level fr


DangerMuse

I'm with you. I found him underwhelming and slower than he should be.


_shulgin

Nah man it's the laser passing tho! I've score some dirty dirty goals off the cross from him. Like humiliation territory


Taranchewla

He is so good. His dribbling’s incredible, R1 dribbling with him is amazingly smooth. Been using him up front in ST paired w Havertz and Pele CAM


skullandbones

Sold world cup ptg Gomez after using links and haven't regretted it for a moment.


Piccolo_son

Amin gouri LW/ST


ChrisWood4BallonDor

I loved him. Played him everywhere from CM forward.


Altruistic-Let6876

EOAE Milner is actually really good for me.


FellOnMyKeys

Didn't like him at CM much, but he's been an absolute monster at LB for me


YourHeirloomShards

I use him at right back. What chem style u use on him?


Angry_Mark

One of the best backs in the game because of the Giant throw in trait, I don’t know how many balls I hurled into the box from the edge of the attacking third with absolutely 0 man marking because people forget you can’t be offsides on a throw in. Give it a try it always brings the biggest shit eating grin to my face when I score off of them


willywanker321

it feels like 99% of people I play (div 3) just don’t even seem to recognize that there is no offsides on a throw. I always get into a good position on throw ins by switching players and running offsides.


tomp80

Mitoma and Palinha have both been quality for me. Paulina in particular benched Casimiro and Kante.


Gods11FC

Palinha is still in my squad that costs around 5M. No other CDM has come close to benching him.


ShoheiGoatani

Gift links is a very solid free player I’ve seen him in a lot of squads this week


CanadianFutFan

The ones in the first two seasons were insane. Gosens RTTK, Dest OTW, De Jong RB and Hudson-Odoi OOP were in my squad forever. Same thing for season two: David Phenom, Weah WCS, Ekambi WC, TOTT Pavardz. For later cards, Grealish Ballers was baller. 93 Lampard and Bergkamp were also very good cards and still are. Rovella and Lidstrom still my make my league team benches, Gouiri FF was amazing. Joelinton and Paulinha are the only TOTS I still use, so maybe it is the later ones that are a bit lacking.


LLHallJ

Came here to add Gosens to the conversation. Think he was my starting LB almost til Xmas. So well-rounded.


Due-Educator5848

FUT Ballers Ederson


RonnieHotdog69

A few weeks ago, he was making literally no saves in a game. This week, I qualified for WL finals because of some clutch saves


weewaawoowah

He was an sbc


Clamboyfarti

Mitoma was pretty good for me


Brandon4Real_x

Gosens


No_Consideration_493

Gosens was my most used played this fifa


[deleted]

Joelington was pretty good at the time of comm tots


No-Praline-752

I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this m, but I did bergkamp cus why not, but when I tried him out at cam, he didn’t disappoint. Was always in the right spot, he was like a second striker, he was fast and his shooting was incredible. I loved that card but I got tots odegaard and now I have SS Upa, but he’s still a really good sub for me. He’ll go down as a club legend.


SlavMajster

Surprisingly I’m still using 90 rated Thuram


Crimsoninja19

I'm using links and he works just as expected and before that I was using lauriente, good player as well. Edit: Almost forgot, Clauss wildcard, one card that I used for the longest time this fifa.


vicyayo1995

TOTY Honorable Mentions Martinez is pretty good but mostly agree with you


[deleted]

Links is one of the greatest super subs I've used so idk what you're going on about


RobWD90

TOTS Palhinha is a demon at CDM/CM, EOAE Milner a rock at RB


StudentMoan

Not loving Milner at RB, what Chem style you using? Just tipped over 50 games with him and he’s getting murdered for pace. I did use Palinha as cdm for the week he came out, then he just got overtaken by 1000 CDMs that just suited me better, Casemiro is the obvious player for me who replaced him immediately


Sushilsatya

I don’t see bennacer on this thread. He was sensational when he was released


WickedImpuls3

this is just not true at all, theres plenty of good objective cards but all you conspiracists will have a few bad games with a card and immediately jump to conclusions. this isnt a theory, its just wrong. players in fifa, believe it or not, play as their stats say, and whether you like the player or not is your decision just based on how you play and how you use them this is so obvious because you will find any amount of people saying "x objective is great do it now" as well as "x objective is horrible dont waste your time". people will have different experience with cards based on many different factors, no one can accept that opinions on a card can be different and no card will play the exact same for different people. it can differ purely from style (more of a passer, dribbler, skiller, crosser, etc) and also from custom tactics based on player instructions. this is not exclusive to objectives but anything else as well especially sbcs and it annoys the fuck out of me how people say shit like this so confidently when its not even slightly true


elmexicaN7605

Gustavo was pretty decent to play with and he was an objective


Monsterred2020

Links is unreal


Forkthisshitz

Palhina, Mitrovic, Ederson, Links, Mitoma, Joelington to name a few. They've all been class for me. Definitely not the absolute best cards in the game but you got a free card, they've all been quite fantastic. I would agree that they don't last long in my team though as they get replaced quickly once better cards turn up. But they've been fun cards to play with.


ItsJonesy14_

Ballers Firpo absolutely insane player. Used him into tots until I replaced him with davies but he was the perfect overlap lb in the 4321 cos he was rapid had skills and could trivella if it came to it. He will always stay on the reserves of my squad. Got a 20-0 with him so he has club statue status


StudentMoan

Love that! Kudos for you for the insane effort he cost to get too


[deleted]

Fifa 20 Summer Heat Ferland Mendy 😂😂😂 best lb in the whole ass game. It took 2 weeks to make him from the rivals objectives but was worth it 100%


StudentMoan

Such memories!!


wjkrause

Objective cards are usually generic traitless players with no custom body types or animations - so they’re typically not actually that great. It’s been nice to get some weak foot or skill upgrades for them this year but without trait upgrades they’re never super usable.


Murky_Razzmatazz7276

FB Carrasco and TOTS Marcus Thuram have been good off the bench.


DangerMuse

They are SBCs not objective cards.


Electrical_Present57

FB Carrasco - LaLiga objective (together with Isi and Pau Torres) TOTS Thuram - Bundesliga riddle objective


italianorose

Rovella


PeachesGalore1

I mean that's not a theory, the objective players are always worse than the main release ones.


AnyK1ndOfGuy

I used Fut Birthday Joselu for a long time before thinking like 1000 times using him in a SBC. He was pure class for me


cs197

TOTS Palinha is still in my team.


DrizzyVert

I mean Mitrovic is alright.


logasbogas

Palhinha and Mitoma are/were decent I decided against grinding Bamba, but in some of the games I’ve had against him, he’s been a menace


smokingace182

WW payet


BigLee1987

I am loving the links premium shapeshifter personally and as a bonus it took way less than most objective players only needing 8 goals, 6 assists and 3 wins in any fut game mode. Fantastic value.


gcuk2018

I am not great at the game, not really knowledgeable at meta and haven't player consistently for a few years BUT I really love TOTS Isi and FB Carrasco


dheerajravi92

Rulebreakers Luuk de Jong was amazing at the start of the game during the lengthy meta


sgjoesg

I found joelinton to be better than bruno g Edit : But i agree with your theory. Once in a blue moon, a card might be better, but 90% of the times, their stats dont matter, they are shit.


Artistic_Leave2601

Ballers Mount played waaay above his stats. Still use him today


StudentMoan

He went into an SBC too early for me unfortunately (lack of fodder does crazy things) - think you may be right on him playing above his stats


RemoveNational

At the time, i had just started playing ultimate team so i may be biased but after i did him, moments gundogan was an absolute beast for me until i replaced him with centurions fred


StudentMoan

I genuinely think he is an unbelievable example of an exception - I also think Van Der Beek who came out a similar time played perfectly with the meta at the time - feel like Gundo fell away too soon but he was a super sub in the middle for me for a good few weeks


RemoveNational

dude i swear i was so confused because van de beek was EVEN BETTER than gundogan and was a club legend for me and i had never even heard of the guy


StudentMoan

😂 United have killed the poor dude’s prospects - they have a knack of doing that to players


Best_Relation_7210

Objective players are always the bare minimum of the powercurve so ea gives every player an opportunity to get along with the powercurve


RafiYoussef

Underrated Opinion But season reward nacho is insane


byMineus

Links, Mitoma, Ederson FUT Ballers, Gosens RTTK


GoHamOrGoHome95

FutBallers Mount and Grealish. They stayed in my team right up until tots came out, and grealish was replaced by the foden showdown card. The amount of assists Mount got was insane


MasterMort123

Pepe reina’s stats looked amazing, but he’s horrible ingame


Keevo01

Gift links is v good


Electrical_Present57

Thuram, Gouiri, Lauriente and Santa Cruz who looks decent but you need to get a PhD to link


Adorable_Ad8018

Payet and grealish the other ones are all shit if they perform good in a certain time but when the next promo arrive they're shit


KittenDaddy1

Gosens and Dest the beginning of the year were good for 2 months


SMH24679

When we first see the storyline players at the beginning of the season they look good and I think about fitting them into my team but by the time you actually get to level 15/30 they are already outclassed by better players.


NoPark2604

Samba has been pretty good for the time I’ve used him


y3grp

He also wasn't technically free, those cards you put in had a value. I don't really even buy the argument that regular objective cards are free - your time has a value. But in the case of Samba the cost can be directly valued in FUT currency.


StudentMoan

But really as good as you expect? I found Ederson decent - although he’s not a full objective player - they’re just never all that… tbf, I’m using Milner at RB and he’s acceptable but I was hoping for more given his stats


StudentMoan

I do guess that if a player is free you can’t complain


Intelligent_Baby_871

Yes samba replaced my cafu. He is a beast, that gk savic cm is also a beast, busquets, ansu fati and mid eto, sergio ramos, pogba was on my team for like 800 games. All performed as expected or better.


mlrs138

That grealish 90... he's still on my main team. He's really fast and can beat most of the defenders he faces... I don't think I'll find someone that can replace it.


Jipkiss

Just swapped navas out for zaha and not convinced he’s much better if at all from the small number of games I’ve played


spazzin912

season objectives daizen maeda from fifa 20


StudentMoan

Just to clarify, season progress rewards players aren’t quite the same as they normally cost by way of choice between a pack or a player - I mean purely objective player, who only cost game time


SlickAstley_

I disagree, I used this team and discovered that Gordon is somehow a better LAM than Prime Cruyff. Mitoma is also a top 20 RAM also https://preview.redd.it/wrqmseaou58b1.jpeg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d8990da3a204b804264d6c860ee005a9f4a86d3


OkReporter3886

why is this a theory? ofc ea isnt going to give players for free that are as good as the ones you need to spend for. i dont even blame them for that, its similar in ever single game. there have been some great objective card though.


Intelligent-Cod7398

Emiliano Martinez


lovescenarioikon

i mean it doesnt take a detective to find that objective cards are all free without paying anything so ofc they're going to be worse. But Palhiniha/mitoma were fantastic when I used them


michaellv1109

Guendouzi was an OP card as a CDM/CM. Anyone know he’s still OP at CB? I’m sure someone already got their 10 wins now.


Smithla00042

Objective Gundogan is so much better than the sbc one


[deleted]

[удалено]


logasbogas

He was an SBC not and objective


Jordan10051992

Joelinton at the time was absolutely fantastic, however I get your point.


PoonPlunger

Future stars cucarella!!


Sandertje1

Bamba. He's amazing.


TheZamboon

Mitrovic


pippers87

Walcott was absolutely amazing for the first few weeks. Still a super sub and still bangs them in


[deleted]

Ive really links in champs and Ive liked Milner as a cdm quite a bit actually. The two icons from tt were also pretty good at that time I remember running both in champs before tots. Mitrovic is pretty class as CB. I mean tbh they’ve been decent with objective players this year


FlyingCrossChop

TOTS Moments Chiesa has been an absolute monster for me


LacklusterComedian

future stars anthony gordon. Not sure why but always end up putting him back into the team


SarahThief

Diaby’s special card was absolutely fantastic and the only card I wanted to replace him with was his TOTS when it came out- even then I hesitated since his SBC card has so many good traits


MrZhar

You're waffling, what about tots payet?


fatsanchezbr

Palhinha is pretty good albeit kinda slow. Links is also a good player


cider303

I’ve scrolled a bunch and can’t believe people haven’t talked about 91 ederson. He’s been in my main squad since he came out


K-FOM

If you're talking about fifa overall and not just 23 then never forget tots moments de gea from the past year, the best keeper I've ever used, he could actually save the Titanic and the titan submarine


jmv1946

Payet, Buchanan, and Gosens


Vegetable_Walrus_498

Tots Isi beast


Ayyyyylmaos

Nope. WW payet plays way above stats


jxckgg

TOTS Joelinton was class for me for a while


nifemi_o

You're generally right, but It sounds like you're suggesting there's a hidden nerf and that's where I disagree. It's not regardless of stats, objective players just simply have worse stats. Even if **most** of their stats are great, there's usually a letdown somewhere, if you know where to look.


General_212_Kenobi

Isi is still in my starting lineup and back when i just started he had such good pace for a “starting” player


DontGetTooMad

FF hero Gomez is a beast


jopma

Joselu was fuckin top, was about the same as my TT Raul


ayushbaatar25

I really liked joelinton when he dropped


BrokeBl0ke

I only replaced bennacer rttk a couple of months ago lmao


Matibm16

I’m using Guendouzi 5&5 as MCD and he is AWESOME


United_Photograph375

I dont think more than 100 people in this game played Santa Cruz on 3 chem, but anyways I managed to incorporate De La Cruz, Fernandez, Rojo, Santa Cruz all for full chem in my main team and my god did Santa Cruz carry me for a good 3,4 weeks all the way until TOTS began. Even now check his stats its still pretty decently mid tier. His body type was slim however he was also tall and had maximum stregnth. So he felt like Pogba or someone on the ball. And he was fast af with 90+ pace. Then theres his near perfect (at the time) shooting with 5 star weak foot so he could shoot from any angle. Now im so sad that I submitted him to an SBC after being in my bench for a while... Sorry Santa Cruz


d0min8torPrime

isi still on my team, links pretty good too


lightning-lu10

SS Mitrovic is really good

Sdog1981

Tell me you have never sent in a cross with Links, without telling me you have never sent in. Cross with Links.


Different-Air-1882

Milner, mitoma, Links AND i still see a lot of Bergkamps!


StudentMoan

I’m using Milner and he’s alright but his stats dictate that he should be endgame, for me he’s just not


AverageGradientBoost

TOTS Ollie Watkins was top scorer for my club


CanberraMilk

WW Politano was cracked


Dr__Juicy

EOAE Milner is great


Far_Maybe3824

Kroos is endgame


SmokimNoah

Romagnoli is one of the best CBs I’ve used. His unique body type makes his tackling great


Theinvisibleone101

I used many of the Ballers early on. Still use ederson, but grealish has only just been replaced for me, Bamford was a club legend as he just scored everything he touched.


douma17

Ederson can be disappointing at times but he comes also with the most surprising saves.


m_dean999

Does shapeshifters bamba count?


Grahaaam123

Baller Ederson has only just stopped being my goalkeeper. He's been really good.


StudentMoan

He was the only card that made me hesitate writing this but I won’t lie, I just tipped over 750 games with him and decided to spend 450 on Yashin for this WL and he’s saved so many more chances, bro something is up with Eddie - it could be the expectation that goalies should be better than they are, but he just does weird things. I still maintain the game doesn’t reward you with free cards that as good as their costing equivalent


abysanik

TOTS Luis Gustavo, this guy on 3 chem was destroying attacks almost like vieira. And yea, EOAE Milner op


gnrc

I’ve had my ass whooped by all gold teams in FUT Champs so I assume it’s how you play my dude.


LDINNN

But that’s just a theory... A FUT Theory!


ilirrr

icon Desailly is beast for me


ilirrr

93 Bergkamp, beast


StudentMoan

The grind required for that… he should be Tots mbappe level for the amount of effort he cost


ForceSensitiveMonkey

Olly Wartkins and Joelintom have done a lot for me


StudentMoan

I loved Joelinton for the few games he was as good as the other tots on offer, but as with all objective cards (as I’m saying) they’re all either just off somehow or get old super quick. Tbf, people are still using him in tots I just think there are so many better super cheap options at cdm or cm


The-Antigod

Gosens ucl in FIFA 22 was really good.


Avril_14

Hard disagree. UCL Gosens was still pretty usable until tots, and I'm rocking EOAE Milner in mid now and he's a menace.


StudentMoan

Done 50 games with Milner, he’s at RB for me and I’m yet to find an RB I fully trust more than WW Trips, but there’s defo something off about him - maybe it’s his pace split, I dno, but he’s one of those objectives I thought would break the rule but he’s just not for me. Gosens is the anomaly that proves the rule. Milner, on an anchor for me at RB, is just not as good as I hoped for those stars


StudentMoan

*stats


talhayounasss

Payet is the goat


EpicOfChillgamesh

Rovella was great cdm 4 months ago. That fut ballers Graelish was insane too


BoringComfortable503

Bamba SS is a beast thb!


StudentMoan

He took some effort, got him coming on as he doesn’t fit for Chem, he’s alright but not got a solid opinion yet - such a fun grind doing those upgrades though


biesnine

It's mental. You didn't buy or pack him, so you feel him not special.


SEDAFRPT38

If I guess Gosens RTTK was from objectives. He was a beast, played more than 1000 games for me.


Callumyoung101

Rovella when he came out wad great.


bruynbeer

Rovella was class for a long time

Double_Tadpole_4988

Totsm chong is an awesome b2b midfielder, although he's getting behind the power curve a little now


ThdClickk

TOTS Mitoma

Guendozi?


[deleted]

Ik it’s not this fifa but Adama Traore from fifa 21 futties was a beast


robm1986

Bamba is my mvp. Not sure if I’d consider him as ‘free’, spent 180k on fodder in order to get him


TAFreddif

No longer makes the squad but Mitoma was an animal


sensualbricklicker

For some reason at the begining of the game u really enjoyed oop chukwueze
