Ok, we're officially excited for St.Patrick's day now after the announcement we've been waiting for from EA Sports has finally arrived.
The incredibly popular St.Patrick's day tournament is back for FIFA 15 Ultimate Team. As usual it has a massive coin bonus, but this year EA have decided to sweeten the pot by adding a special edition green Robbie Keane card if you can manage to win it.
Tournament Rules:
- You must have 18 players in your squad from the Republic of Ireland.
Tournament Rewards:
- If you win the online tournament you get 20,000 coins and a green Robbie Keane card.
- If you win the offline tournament you get 10,000 coins and a green Robbie Keane card.
Tournament Dates:
- Starts: Friday, March 13th at 6pm.
- Finishes: Wednesday, March 18th at 6pm.
The limited edition card is untradeable, and each tournament win after you first you will get the relevant amount for either offline or online.
As always, Irish players are now a ridiculous price on the market, so if you haven't already build an all Irish team, good luck. You may be lucky enough to be flush with coins, and if that is the case, then here are our recommended signigs:
Key Irish players to sign:
Bradley Garmston - West Brom:
We'll admit that we've never heard of West Brom left-back Bradley Garmston, but jaysus the boy is lightning. That 92 pace will get you out of a lot of problems, and he is twice the Ultimate Team player of Joey O'Brien, the next best left back available. He's going to cost more than you are willing to spend on a bronze player, however.
Aiden McGeady - Everton:
Self explanatory, 5-star skill moves and pace to burn, McGeady is going to be the main creative force of your team. But he won't come cheap if you don't already have him.
Shane Long - Southampton:
Probably the most effective Irish player in Ultimate Team, Shane Long is a bit of a beast. Good pace, a great leap, and a good touch mean he is useful in most squads, let alone an all Irish one.
We, of course, have built our Ultimate Team well in advance, and it looks like this:
Look at Pat Fenlon, he knows we've got a great chance.
Good luck out there, and if you come across out team, be sure to give us a shout on Twitter or Facebook and let us know!
