Are Casuals An Endangered UT Species?
Dan & Shaq return to mull over the state of Ultimate Team as we rapidly head towards Team of the Year. We ask whether the playing pool has got smaller, or if the skill gap has just narrowed. We also react to the latest Dynasties content, including thoughts on whether the Zidane SBC is worth your hard earned fodder & coins.
Takeaways
- The mini release offers some interesting cards, but their value and price can be subjective.
- The Zidane Icon SBC is a tempting card, but it may not live up to expectations in gameplay.
- The 87+ Base Icon SBC can be a gamble, but it offers a chance to pack high-rated icons.
- The Erling Haaland objective card is a decent option for starting out or filling a spot in the team.
- The player base seems to be more competitive, with fewer casual players in the game.
- The availability of good cards has made it harder for teams to stand out.
- Playstyle plus has added complexity to the game and requires players to adapt their gameplay.
- The game has many moving parts, making it difficult to judge a player's performance based on one factor.

''Patched Perfection & Dynasty Debacle!?"
It's been days since ''THE PATCH'' hit and the boys, this weekend that means John, Daniel and the return of Kyle, have had lots of time to play the ''new'' game.
It's also the arrival of a new promotion: ''Dynasties''. Are the boys enjoying this mix of previous promotion and the team selection or is it ''just filler'' before the Christmas fun starts?
And as always, there's the FUTcoaching Tip of the Week, specified for the post-past era and START, SUB OR SELL with Lucio, Toure and Ramires heroes!
Also, did EA release the BEST CB in FC24...and it might not be Harry Maguire.....
