I easily made 1500 in the first section of the event without buying the star pass and just doing all the daily and weekend tasks and claiming the 3000 gem pack
I am at 350 in daybreak section having missed the weekend challenges and not yet playing today ... with some 111s being 1000 shards, i should have no trouble claiming one
mendozzamagic "claiming the 3000 gem pack" is a big factor here, 99.999% of the times I get the lowest possible reward from it.
I did all the daily tasks, challenges etc, yet I could manage only 950 shards and I claimed Pedro and Lizarazu.
Playing an event for 3 weeks and being able to claim a random 1000 shard player because "some 111s being 1000 shards" is absurd.
My point was that, I should be able to claim at least one high OVR player which I can use in my squad.
I’m just pointing out that I will easily claim 2x111 players from the event without spending any money and without getting anything special from the gem packs … I’m not sure that you can expect more from a completely F2P perspective 🤷♀️

Do you think spending money will change it??
Spending on the star pass will give you some points, but spending in general is a waste of time unless you spend lots because pack luck is just as bad in the points packs as it is in the gem ones.
i didn’t purchase the Star pass during winter and got to 1500, I have not purchased the Star pass during daybreak, and have missed a few days, and just passed 1000 … so I will get one of the 1000 shard 111s
I wouldn’t spend anything though unless you can afford it and are really keen on a particular player though, as in a months time 111s will probably be the new 109s, and a newer, higher OVR version of that card will be out soon
Gotta call BS on that. Unless you’re gem farming by giving away your personal information to all of EA’s corporate partners then there’s NO WAY you can pull 2x 111 without an outrageous amount of luck. I can speak as someone who has farmed every last gem available within the confines of the regular game and I’ve packed nothing higher than a 109.
I’ve packed nothing higher than a 109 either … if I did they would be in my team, and not used for shards anyway.
You can call BS all you like, but I have played the game daily, opened the 3000 gem store packs, used the exchanges, done the weekend challenges, played through to FC champs in VSA and MM (h2h is too laggy for me to progress), and got to 1500 gems in Winter and 1000 in dawn.
i don’t do the gem offer things, and don’t bother with extra time, i just play the daily stuff and collect the cards.
so maybe it hasn’t worked for you, but I had for me, and that is my experience with it … so, you it is not impossible to get two 111s from the event without spending a bucketload of money
Calm yourself mate with that guy, hes always ready to defend EAs gameplay everytime theres a complaint🤣
I am calm and I am not against him. Even I have seen him defending EA but he too has some good solutions at times. What I want to say is we want real maths a d statistics and EA to know that the bar they have set is really high. I was lucky enough to bag 111 Capdevila from the 3K gem pack but I needed 111 Ferdinand but couldn't get him and had to compromise with 110 Gvardiol with half the shards. Gvardiol is good with a high attack work rate as well but Ferdinand was obviously a better defender option for me. That's where I want things to be real and clear. This shard system isn't working especially after the 1st 2 weeks when you have already reached FIFA Champion, completed the star pass and event milestones. That leaves us F2P with nothing to aim at above 750-800 shards. That's a real big issue.
