Typically during TOTY we see three Lightning
If youre planning to deploy an army of FC 24 Coins FC Points in the battle to claim an elusive first owner Team of the Year card, then you may want to focus on Lightning Rounds, when EA stocks the FC Store with some of the most valuable packs in the game for brief periods. Typically during TOTY we see three Lightning Rounds per day, at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm GMT, where limited volumes of high-value packs are listed and when theyre gone, theyre gone.
The schedule usually looks like this:
6pm GMT: Rare Players Pack (12* Rare Gold players) for 1,000 FC Points7pm GMT: Jumbo Rare Players Pack (24* Rare Gold players) for 2,000 FP8pm GMT: Ultimate Pack (30* Rare Gold players) for 2,500 FP
This year, some of these packs guarantee at least one card with a specified minimum rating, e.g. Ultimate Packs will definitely have at least one 84+. In practice, pack probabilities are stronger for the more expensive packs. But regardless of which you choose, the probability of packing a TOTY card remains very small, so do be careful.
It also worth noting that EA has been releasing Lightning Rounds at other times of the day and in other configurations at various points in FC 22, so there may be other opportunities to buy up interesting packs if you keep your eyes open. Again though, the chances of packing a TOTY are always small, and while you can obviously spend your money however you want, we will be focusing on free methods like saved packs and upgrades for our clubs.
