Does this graphic summarize the chance of getting a 'usable' player?

Still worth the gamble?

You've highlighted Wright, why not just take his prime and save yourself 2 tokens, can get 1 of 3 other icons as well.

I thought about the pack for a long time but it's just not worth the gamble for me anyway. Way I looked at it, if this was a random sbc would I be happy getting Rio, drogba , carlos, crespo, keane etc. You have to say yes. On that basis the risk of a keeper, or pep is too great. Still no idea who I'm taking yet though, down to 5 options at the minute.

I see a lotta red X's.

Also I highly doubt the probabilities are equal for all cards. No way they're gonna allow that many base Drogba and Zidanes into the game.

Picked Roberto Carlos, plan was to pick the pack. Glad I picked Roberto Carlos, best defender in the game what I’ve tried untill now. Seems to use other ‘graphics’ to take the ball. The way he tackles, didn’t saw that before

Would be great if it was just any of the base icons at random, with an equal chance each.
Thats the way it should be, and I'd do the pack of it was.
But it's absolutely weighted to the lower end cards, either a goalkeeper or guardiola will be in 50% of the packs.

Unfortunate thing is they should have equal probabilities for an untradeable card.

Last year I did 2 base icon packs and got bergkamp two times in a row. This year I have one untradeable icon, Base Desailly, I'm scared to take it

I actually like about roughly half of the base icons and could use them.

But i'm picking up Ian Wright. I'm a gooner

I'm tempted, but then I keep looking to this post and thinking it's probably not worth it.

Did this up the other day, the odds of packing each player for any brave soul doing the Base Icon Pack. Odds are all based on players current prices so it's not an exact science but it's as close as you can get:





Biggest thing to note is that you've got about a 28% chance of packing a player that is already part of this batch, most of whom are cheaper than the pack, and a lot of the are Mids/Primes instead of Base versions.

I'll probably get Butra.
