Found this in efhub, are these cards coming to store? Or are these for new players only or smtg?

Like most of you guys here, I'm also saving coins, I've saved 9.5k as of now, 1k coins of that is from coins sales, I spend money on the coins only when there is a coin sale and I buy only the smallest pack. So I'm not a F2P but I don't spend much to be called a P2W.

We don't get to spend coins since we are saving them and getting good cards for a small price is a good deal imo, I'd rather spend a small amount of money rather than buying these cards from a 500 coin pack(ie if they we're available like that).

Suarez was a great deal cuz he has nice stats and a good special skill, so I bought him. I don't know if I should buy Thiago cuz he doesn't have a special skill and I don't use Orchestrators ( Cuz I don't have any great ones ), but he does have a 2nd playstyle which is pretty good cuz most of the free highlight selection cards they are giving doesn't have a 2nd playstyle and the epic cards are all CF's.

Do you guys think that they going to be bringing more players in the upcoming days? Few days ago in the r/pesmobile sub there was a post about some players who were newly added, and Thiago was one of them and now he is in a starter pack, besides him there was Casillas but Porto version so I think he might also come as a starter set player in the upcoming days.

And if any of you guys have tried Thiago yet, drop a review of him.

Does he have a showtime skill? Cuz efhub doesn't show it and I heard that he has attack trigger, so idk.

Also how does this build look like btw is it good?

So yesterday since there was maintenance I thought I should make a list of players which are worth spending coins on. So that when I reach 13.5k coins I could spend coins if it's a player from this list.

Now after the maintenance I was surprised to see that they were giving us a free Eto'o that too not even locked behind a unlimited spin reset pack. His stats look great too, so I'm sure he'll perform well. And he has 2 special skills that are actually useful for his position and player ID.

This got me thinking which players are Konami willing to give us for free? I just want to spend coins on players that Konami would never give for free. Cuz what if I spend coins on a Pirlo/Seedorf pack and then Konami just gives them for free one day, that'll make me not even use the free card in my team cuz I already have them.

So which players are you guys sure that konami won't give for free. Or like which players even if given for free will be nowhere close to the prime version(eg: bale, hazard)

I was ready to choose Aguero but luckily I got him in the free try, so now I get to choose the player that's best for my squad.

I've looked at the other players in the pack and I don't like the playstyle of some players and for some others I don't think the stats are worth it.

Now I'm left with choosing between Rooney and Rijkaard.

Rooney- The stats are good and he has 2 skills which are suitable for CF position. But I already have other players with dlf playstyle like Copa Messi, POTW Alvarez, Memphis Depay from National Stars pack.

Rijkaard- I'm planning to use him as a CB/DMF. The only reason I'm not sure about choosing him is because I already have the daily box Rijkaard and worse than that I chose BigTime Rijkaard when the QR code was leaked last year(that whole pack didn't work out in the long run cuz I got Beckham and Raul from that pack and those are the players that konami gave for free in the penalty game.)

So if I choose Rijkaard, I'll end up with 3 Rijkaards with 3 different playstyles. I'm fine with not being able to use his Anchor Man version because I have Match Pass Tchouaméni, POTW Rodri, and Amadou Onana, which I could use as replacements. Anything to make way for a good Epic CB, because they are rare to come across, and with the decreasing quality of the cards that are coming in the free packs, I don't have much hope in Konami.

It's just that I'm saving up coins(8250 coins as of now) for Gullit and I worry that Rijkaard would come along with him if it's a Dutch/AC Milan pack.

So is choosing Rijkaard a wise choice in the long run???

How good is he compared to Bati? I've Bati and the only thing I hate about him is his passing, it is horrible 😭. I think Ronaldo would do better as a striker who could also pass. And I'm a Ronaldo fan , so is this the last chance that I'll get to sign him?

I started saving coins 5 months back I think. And I do spend money on the game, but I only buy the lowest coin pack that too only when there are offers. Now I've saved 7.3k as of now.

When I started saving, I thought when the WC pack comes around I'll buy a pack that's worth the coins(like I did with Copa Messi and Griezmann) but the packs that came aren't worth the coins. Like if it was anyone else that they gave an epic card to on the Portugese pack then I wouldn't even be making this post. So it's not a 'need' it's a 'want' situation

So what should I do?

If I keep saving then the only packs that I'll be spending the coins on will be packs with the following players: Gullit,Viera,Cristiano,Bale or other great epics depending upon their stats & the epics that come along with them.

Also I'd like to say that I've never saved more that 6.5k till now. Last time I did that I spent it on Szoboszlai, which I luckly got in 1.8k and then before I could start again the POTS cards came around and the English POTS looked great so I spent my coins till I got Konate & Ruben Diaz, these were good decisions though, cause that Szobo and Konate are still in my squad. But after that I wasted my coins on Spanish pack and some other packs. Saying wasted cause I knew I didn't need any other players but I still spent my coins and I don't even use any of those cards other than for events.
