Last week, the FIFA player ScudzTV started a Twitter thread, which later went viral, claiming that he had the ‘real cost’ of acquiring a ‘dream of 100 million coin’ FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, which is eleven special FUT Icon players included would work out.

‘While respecting the effort and creativity to map out possible paths to greatness, we dispute the premise of these theories.
‘A lot of assumptions are made in the calculations.
“For example, you can not accurately calculate how many coins you would earn if you traded because it depends on your skill as a trader.
“There are other aspects of the game that contribute to building your club, such as SBCs, Objectives and Draft, which also need to be accounted for.
“Importantly, FIFA is a game of skill. The skill of the player is the biggest factor in the outcome of matches or challenges in FIFA – a strong player can be successful, whether they are bronze, silver, gold or a mixture. of all three.
‘You do not have the players who need the highest rank in the game to win.
‘In the real world, no football club has the world’s highest players in any of the 11 positions.

‘While it is possible to use the’ top 11 ‘in FUT if it is skilled enough with substantial time investment, it is certainly not the intention or expectation that players will place a group like this.
“To put it another way, respect the many players who spend time learning and loving the game; mastering a skill move, set pieces, timing, pitch vision / lanes; to work their trades; to make their team that way; build / break down / build up many managers, and work on the tactics to help them win.
“It’s the magic and fun of the game for those players.
“Investment is a choice that players can make, just like in the real world. Some teams build through investment, and it’s a choice for owners, front offices and managers in real sports, just as it is a choice in EA SPORTS FIFA.
‘If the premise here is that players want the best players in the world in their team so they can improve, compete online and play against the best, they can do it in FIFA without any extra investment – you can as Liverpool or Man playing. City of PSG whenever you want.
“There is no single way to win the league. There is no single way to the Champions League. There is no single way to the World Cup. And there is no single way to be successful in EA SPORTS FIFA not.
“It’s as it should be.”
The initial message of @ScudzTV, posted on March 16, was made after EA released a statement directly to Mirror Football about professional FIFA players and how much they are investing in the game.
“FIFA Ultimate Team is a versatile skill game,” EA told Mirror Football.
It is important to note that you can get all the items in the game without ever spending any money, and that purchases are completely optional.
“Every professional competitive player must demonstrate the skills of the meta-game to be competent enough to compete at an Elite level, which includes trading, economic monitoring, group rotation and completing challenges.”
Following this statement, FIFA player @ScudzTV decided to squander the numbers himself and work out the ‘real cost’ of how much time or money it would take to acquire his ‘dream’ FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
In the initial tweet, @ScudzTV posted a photo of his ‘Dream’ team on FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
The team contained 11 FUT icons, including Player Moments Ronaldo, Player Moments Pele, Player Moments Ronaldinho and many more. You can see the team in the photo below.
He then tries to ‘work out’ how long or how much money it can take before he gets this team on FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
“Let’s talk @EASPORTSFIFA,” he said @ScudzTV.
“Here’s my dream team, just 100 million coin team. So it’s achievable ‘and here are my options according to you.
“1 – Play games … 100 million coins game.
‘Suppose an average of 1,500 coins per game (which makes up weekly rewards) is just 66,666 games.
‘On average, 20 minutes per game is just 22,000 hours of play or 916 days of play 24/7.
“REALISTIC?
“2 – ‘monitoring the market’ … 100 million trading coins.
‘Assuming an average of 10,000 coins per trade, I should only trade 10,000.
“If I assume I trade 10k every 10 minutes, I will have to trade 1,650 hours or 69 days 24/7
“REALISTIC ??
“Spend £ £ £ … 100 million coins from FIFA points.
Suppose an average of 100,000 coins profit per 12,000 FIFA points spent.
“I have to buy 1000x 12k FP at £ 79.99 per 12k. I will have to spend a total of £ 79,990 on FIFA points.
“REALISTIC ??”
