What FIFA 22 packs are best value?
Hi there FUT fan! As a seasoned FIFA analyst, I‘d say the Rare Players Pack and Jumbo Rare Players Pack are the best value right now. Let me walk you through the pack odds so you can make the most of your FUT coins.
Understanding Pack Weightings
When deciding which packs to buy, you need to look at pack weightings – essentially the odds of getting high-rated cards. This is not published by EA, but sites like FUTBin analyze user pack openings to estimate the probabilities.
For example, the current estimated pack weight for packing a 90+ rated gold card is:
- Premium Gold Pack – Less than 1%
- Rare Players Pack – Around 5%
- Jumbo Rare Players Pack – Around 8%
So your chances increase dramatically for packs with more rare gold players. Let‘s analyze some popular options:
Premium Gold Pack
With a cost of 7500 coins, the Premium Gold Pack offers a mix of players and consumables, with 3 rare gold players. This works out at 2500 coins per rare gold player, giving a 1 in 300 chance at a 90+ card. Not great value for big pulls.
Rare Players Pack
For 50,000 coins you are guaranteed 12 rare golds – that‘s around 4000 coins per rare player. The pack weightings give you a 1 in 20 chance at a 90+ rated card. Much better value.
Jumbo Rare Players Pack
At 100,000 coins, this pack includes 24 rare gold players. That‘s just over 4000 coins per rare player again, but now with double the rare cards. Your odds at a 90+ card jump to around 1 in 12 packs.
Ultimate Pack
With 30 items and 125,000 coins, the Ultimate Pack offers the best shot at huge ratings. However the cost per rare gold player is higher at over 5000 coins. Great for promos, otherwise can be a coins sink.
So both Rare Players and Jumbo Rare Player packs give you the best odds for the coins, making them my top value pack recommendations right now.
When Should You Buy Packs?
Timing is also crucial. Here are tips on when pack purchases make most sense:
- Lightning Rounds – Limited packs sell out fast during promos
- TOTY nominees – Chance at upgraded players
- New promo release – Pack weights boosted for 24 hours
- Preview a pack to avoid dupes
- Wrap up of promo – Last chance at special cards
Following content creators and checking the latest pack odds on Futbin means you can buy at the optimal times.
Coins vs FIFA Points
While real money FIFA Points give you more purchasing power, you are always better using in-game coins if possible. Here is a comparison:
| Pack | Coins | FIFA Points |
| Premium Gold Pack | 7,500 | 150 |
| Rare Players Pack | 50,000 | 1000 |
| Jumbo Rare Players Pack | 100,000 | 2000 |
With FIFA points costing around $1 per 100, packs end up being over 10 times more expensive than buying with coins!
As an experienced FUT trader myself, I recommend using rewards to build up your coin balance rather than falling into the FIFA point trap. Coins equate to better value and more control over your spending.
Final Tips to Maximize Packs
A few final tips to help maximize your return from FIFA 22 packs:
- Craft icon SBCs from unwanted cards to generate tradable packs
- Save higher rated dupes for future SBCs
- Quick sell other dupes rather than discarding for zero coins
- Hold off opening packs when promos and TOTW are weak
- Follow pack opening streams for excitement and pack tips!
