GD 7 = 513 (1324 total)
GD 8 = 436 (1760 total)
GD 9 = 2434 (4194 total)
This means that I will be able to bolster my squad with several other signings. Below are the strawpolls for these:
So with the launch of FIFA 15 I have decided to start a new series playing Ultimate Team without the frills or benefits of coin purchases/pack purchases. This series will be truly as the game was intended and if there are any cards that I have packed then I will deduct the avg. market price at the time. That being said, you can enjoy episode 1 here:
My first team is made purely of players I received in my first pack and my first web app gift pack, leaving the squad looking as follows:
