Rank 1 Dream Chasers Rewards: What to Expect
The Excitement of Dream Chasers Team 2 Rewards
The arrival of Dream Chasers Team 2 brings with it a fresh wave of anticipation for FIFA enthusiasts everywhere. We have been eagerly awaiting these Rank 1 rewards, especially after the somewhat disappointing pack weight experienced during Team 1. This article explores what players can expect when opening their hard-earned Rank 1 rewards for this new promotion.
Breaking Down the Player Pick Options
Rank 1 rewards for Dream Chasers Team 2 offer an impressive array of player pick opportunities. The reward structure includes several tiers of player picks, specifically:
- 86+ player picks
- 85+ player picks (one of three options)
- An exceptional 87+ player pick
- The coveted Dream Chaser picks featuring Team 2 players
This variety of options significantly increases the chances of obtaining high-rated cards compared to standard packs, making the grind to Rank 1 potentially worthwhile for dedicated players.
Initial Pack Opening Results
Our first foray into these rewards yielded some promising results. The 85+ player pick immediately presented us with McCabe, a card boasting impressive 4-star skill moves and weak foot, complemented by outstanding 92 defending and 92 physical stats. Finding such a high-quality card in our very first pick suggests the pack weight for Team 2 might indeed be more generous than what we experienced with Team 1.
Pack Weight Expectations
The question on everyone’s mind concerns the pack weight for Dream Chasers Team 2. We can all agree that Team 1’s pack weight left much to be desired, falling short of community expectations. The initial signs from our pack opening session indicate a potential improvement, though it remains to be seen whether this trend will continue throughout the promotion.
Tradable vs. Untradable Considerations
An important aspect to note is that these reward picks are untradable. While this limits their market value, it does provide excellent fodder for SBCs or potential first-team additions. Players should keep this in mind when making their selections, prioritizing cards that fit their squad or offer exceptional stats rather than focusing on market value.
Opening Player Picks: Elite Division Rewards
The Thrill of Elite Division Rewards
After examining what to expect from Rank 1 Dream Chasers rewards, we now turn our attention to the Elite Division rewards, which represent some of the most coveted prizes in the game. Elite Division players have demonstrated exceptional skill to reach this competitive tier, and the rewards should theoretically reflect this achievement. Our opening session revealed some fascinating results that merit detailed analysis.
Tradable Player Picks: A Significant Advantage
One crucial distinction with Elite Division rewards is that most player picks, excluding the Dream Chaser selections, are tradable. This presents a substantial advantage over the untradable Rank 1 rewards discussed previously. Tradable picks offer flexibility that untradable rewards simply cannot match, allowing players to either strengthen their squad or convert high-value pulls into coins for future investments.
87+ Player Pick Results
Our Elite Division rewards journey began with the 87+ player pick, which unfortunately yielded a somewhat disappointing result in Kachawi. This initial selection fell short of expectations, especially considering the anticipation surrounding this particular pick format. The bicycle kick animation that accompanied this selection did little to compensate for the underwhelming card received.
86+ Player Picks: Where Fortune Turned
The 86+ player picks (one of four) delivered significantly better results, demonstrating the potential value of Elite Division rewards:
- First pick: Odegaard emerged as the best option among a selection that included Benzema
- Second pick: Paredes and Lauren James appeared, with all options being 88-rated cards of similar market value
- Third pick: The breakthrough moment came with Kimmich, a card valued at approximately 1.2 million coins
The Kimmich selection represents exactly what players hope for when grinding toward Elite Division rewards. With 90 pace, 93 defending, and 88 physical stats, complemented by desirable play styles, this card exemplifies the elite-tier rewards that justify the competitive effort required to reach this division.
Two of Five 86+ Selections
The subsequent two of five 86+ player picks provided solid, if not spectacular, options:
- First selection: Neuer and Bossy Men appeared, solid fodder but nothing exceptional
- Second selection: A variety of options including Harder (92 rated), Rolfo, Oblak, Martinez, and De Jong
The 92-rated Harder card, while not as valuable as Kimmich, still represented a 50,000+ coin selection, further enhancing the overall value of our Elite Division rewards haul.
Market Value Considerations
An important aspect of tradable rewards is understanding their market value. Our analysis of the Kimmich card revealed a value of approximately 1.2 million coins, representing an exceptional return on investment for the time spent reaching the Elite Division. Similarly, the 92-rated Harder card, despite having a minimum price of around 50,000 coins, still offers significant value that can be converted to currency for future team improvements.
Risk vs. Reward Assessment
The Elite Division rewards demonstrate the risk-versus-reward proposition that defines FIFA’s competitive structure. While not every player pick will yield a million-coin card like Kimmich, the potential for such rewards exists exclusively at these higher competitive tiers. This potential justifies the additional effort required to reach and maintain Elite Division status throughout the season.
Dream Chaser Team 2 Player Picks: The Big Reveal
Diving Into Dream Chaser Team 2 Selections
After exploring the Rank 1 rewards and Elite Division player picks in previous chapters, we now turn our attention to the most anticipated aspect of our rewards opening session: the Dream Chaser Team 2 player picks. These specialized selections represent the pinnacle of the current promotion, offering access to some of the most coveted cards currently available in the game. Our experience with these picks revealed some fascinating patterns and opportunities worth analyzing in detail.
Team 2 vs. Team 1 Players in Picks
One of the first observations from our Dream Chaser picks was the interesting mix of both Team 1 and Team 2 players appearing in the selections. This was somewhat unexpected, as the promotion title specifically referenced Team 2. In our first Dream Chaser pick, we were presented with McCabe (whom we had already selected in an earlier pick), Barami, and the more promising Bentonker. The latter caught our attention immediately due to his impressive overall rating and potential value.
Notable Team 2 Standouts
Among the Team 2 players that appeared in our picks, several stood out for their exceptional attributes:
- Bentonker – Featuring well-rounded stats and promising play styles, this card represented one of the better options available
- Tigger, Tacker, and Anastasia – All displayed competitive attributes that could strengthen various squad positions
- Moreno – A towering 6’4″ striker with the valuable Aerial play style plus, presenting interesting evolution potential due to his rating
The diversity of positions and play styles among these Team 2 players provides multiple options for squad integration, regardless of preferred formation or tactical approach.
Unexpected Icon Appearance
Perhaps the most surprising moment during our Dream Chaser picks came with the appearance of an Icon card – McAleady. Icons typically represent some of the most valuable and sought-after cards in the game, making this a particularly noteworthy inclusion in what was expected to be exclusively Dream Chaser content. This unexpected appearance suggests that the Dream Chaser picks may have a broader selection pool than initially advertised, potentially increasing their value proposition.
Team 1 Players Still in Circulation
Interestingly, our second Dream Chaser pick seemed heavily weighted toward Team 1 players, raising questions about the pick structure. We encountered Vetkovic and Larson, both Team 1 players with distinct attributes worth considering. Larson, in particular, caught our attention with his Future Stars connection and impressive midfield statistics:
- 90 sprint speed and 91 acceleration
- Pinged pass and Intercept play styles
- Strong passing attributes overall
This continued inclusion of Team 1 players in what was marketed as Team 2 picks presents both opportunities and challenges for players, expanding the potential selection pool while potentially diluting the chances of securing the newest Team 2 cards.
Strategic Selection Considerations
When faced with these diverse options, our selection strategy prioritized several factors:
- Overall rating for potential SBC fodder value
- Unique play styles that could enhance specific tactical approaches
- Physical attributes like height (as with Moreno’s 6’4″ frame)
- Potential for future evolutions based on current ratings
- Positional needs within our existing squad composition
Ultimately, we selected Bentonker from our first pick due to his superior overall package of attributes and potential squad impact. For our second pick, despite already owning McAleady, we opted to select this card again due to the higher rating offering better value for future SBC requirements.
Value Assessment Beyond Market Price
While the immediate instinct might be to check market prices for these selections, we recognized that the true value of these cards extends beyond their coin value. The integration potential with our existing squad, the unique play styles offered, and the long-term utility for objectives or evolutions all factored into our decision-making process. This holistic approach to player pick evaluation represents a more sophisticated understanding of card value beyond simple market metrics.
Insane Pack Luck: Icons and Special Cards
When Lightning Strikes: Our Extraordinary Pack Opening Session
Following our exploration of Dream Chaser Team 2 player picks, we now turn to what can only be described as an exceptional streak of pack luck that defied typical odds. The packs opened during this session demonstrated that while pack weight remains a contentious topic in the community, moments of extraordinary fortune do occur—even if they remain the exception rather than the rule.
The 81+ Pack Surprise
Our journey began with what appeared to be a modest 81+ pack, typically considered a lower-tier reward option. However, this particular opening defied expectations by delivering multiple special cards, including two informs alongside higher-rated base cards. This unexpected bounty from a traditionally underwhelming pack format immediately suggested this session might be different from standard openings.
Elite Season Review Pack Delivers Icon Beckham
The true highlight of our pack opening session came from the Elite Season Review pack, which produced an outcome that left us momentarily speechless—Foot Birthday Icon Beckham. This card, valued at approximately 1.2-1.3 million coins on the open market, represents precisely the type of elite pull that justifies the grind to higher competitive divisions.
What made this pull particularly satisfying was its alignment with our existing squad composition. Having previously purchased this exact card for competitive Weekend League play, securing an untradable version freed up significant coin value while maintaining squad strength—the ideal scenario for any pack pull.
The 89+ Double Pack Revelation
The extraordinary luck continued with the 89+ double player pack, which revealed a French right-winger with the coveted 5-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot combination. This card’s exceptional technical attributes were complemented by impressive pace and dribbling statistics, making it one of the most versatile attacking options currently available in the game.
The rarity of finding players with the “double 5-star” combination cannot be overstated, as these cards typically command premium prices on the transfer market due to their unparalleled flexibility in attacking scenarios. Securing such a card from a reward pack represents exceptional value, regardless of whether it remains in the squad or is converted to market currency.
Multiple Promo Cards in Consecutive Packs
Our 85+ and 86+ packs continued the trend of exceptional returns, yielding:
- Multiple Dream Chaser Team 2 players in a single pack
- Duplicate Kubo cards across different packs
- Several informs providing high-rated fodder
- Goretzka as a solid Bundesliga midfield option
The 88+ pack delivered perhaps the most visually striking moment with the appearance of a unique card design that hadn’t featured prominently during Team 1. McCabe and Kisla emerged from this pack, with Kisla’s card valued at approximately 300,000 coins on the open market. The combination of Finesse Shot Plus, Tiki Taka, and Incisive playstyles makes this card particularly valuable in the current meta.
Analyzing Total Pack Value
A conservative estimate places the total value of cards obtained during this session at approximately 2 million coins—an extraordinary return that far exceeds typical expectations from reward packs. This valuation considers only market prices and doesn’t account for the additional utility these cards provide as potential squad additions or high-rated SBC fodder.
The Walkout Animation Inconsistency
An interesting technical observation emerged during our pack opening: the inconsistent behavior of walkout animations for special cards. While tradable special cards consistently triggered walkout animations, untradable heroes and icons often appeared without fanfare behind the pack’s initial reveal. This peculiar behavior appears to be a persistent technical quirk rather than an intentional design choice.
Contextualizing Exceptional Pack Luck
While this session demonstrated remarkable fortune, we must emphasize that such results remain statistical outliers rather than the norm. The excitement surrounding these pulls stems precisely from their rarity—if such outcomes were common, they would lose their special status within the community. Nevertheless, sessions like this one serve as powerful reminders of why players continue to engage with the reward system despite its often unpredictable nature.
Icon Player Pick Extravaganza: Hits and Misses
The Ultimate Test of Luck: Icon Player Picks
After experiencing extraordinary pack luck in our previous openings, we now turn our attention to what many consider the ultimate test of fortune in FIFA: Icon Player Picks. These prestigious selections offer the tantalizing possibility of securing some of the most legendary players in football history, though as we discovered, the results can vary dramatically from exhilarating highs to disappointing lows. This chapter examines our extensive icon pick opening session, analyzing the patterns, probabilities, and potential value these specialized picks offer.
Weight Distribution Analysis
Our comprehensive opening of multiple icon player picks revealed some fascinating patterns regarding weight distribution. Certain icons appeared with surprising frequency across different accounts:
- Barnes emerged repeatedly, suggesting a higher appearance rate than his market value would justify
- Sauer (particularly the Long Ball version) appeared in numerous picks
- Roy Keane, Van Nistelrooy, and Fowler showed up consistently
- Beckham variants appeared multiple times, though rarely the most desirable versions
This repetition suggests a tiered weight system within icon picks, where lower-valued icons appear more frequently than their premium counterparts. This observation aligns with the community’s general understanding of pack weight mechanics, where card value inversely correlates with appearance probability.
The Blindfold Experiment
In an attempt to test the influence of “pack luck superstitions,” we conducted a blindfolded icon pick selection. This experiment yielded a 91-rated Fowler—a decidedly average result that neither confirmed nor refuted the effectiveness of such methods. The blindfold experiment did, however, lead to missing a potentially valuable Carlos Alberto card, highlighting the risk of employing such unconventional selection methods.
Gender Distribution in Icon Selections
Our icon pick openings featured a notable representation of female icons, including:
- Multiple appearances of Sauer (both Incisive and Long Ball versions)
- Mia Hamm (valued at approximately 1.1 million coins)
- Kelly Smith and Miama appearing in the same pick
The inclusion of these legendary female players adds welcome diversity to the icon pool while providing valuable options for squad building. Particularly noteworthy was Mia Hamm’s exceptional market valuation, demonstrating that female icons can command premium prices comparable to their male counterparts when offering meta-relevant attributes.
Evolution-Compatible Icons
A particularly interesting dimension of our icon pick analysis concerned evolution-compatible cards. Several icons appeared that hold special value due to their eligibility for current evolution paths:
- The 90-rated R9 (highly sought after for specific evolutions)
- Miama (valuable for certain formation-specific evolution paths)
- 88-rated Vidić (recommended for defensive evolution paths)
This evolution compatibility adds a layer of valuation beyond mere market price, as these cards offer long-term development potential that can significantly exceed their initial attributes. This consideration has become increasingly important in the modern FIFA economy, where evolution paths represent a substantial value-add to otherwise modest cards.
The Extinct Icon Phenomenon
Perhaps the most remarkable moment in our icon pick session came with the appearance of Soloth—an extinct icon on the transfer market. The extreme rarity of this card demonstrates the complex interplay between supply, demand, and price ranges in the FIFA economy. When an icon becomes extinct, its value effectively exceeds the maximum price range established by the game, creating a situation where securing such a card through a player pick represents extraordinary value that cannot be quantified through normal market metrics.
Premium Icon Appearances
While many of our picks yielded modest results, we did encounter several premium icons that represent significant wins:
- 94-rated Mia Hamm (1.1 million coin valuation)
- 93-rated Zico (high fodder value if nothing else)
- Incisive version of Sauer (preferred over the Long Ball variant)
These higher-tier pulls, while statistically less common, demonstrate the potential upside of icon player picks. The appearance of a single premium icon can instantly transform an otherwise disappointing opening session into a significant win, highlighting the high-variance nature of these specialized picks.
SBC Fodder Considerations
Even when icon picks fail to deliver usable players for one’s starting eleven, they retain value as high-rated fodder for Squad Building Challenges. Our analysis noted several instances where selections were made primarily for SBC purposes:
- 93-rated Zico selected specifically for the 91-rated team requirement in the Hullet SBC
- Koeman chosen purely for his 91 rating rather than his in-game utility
- Multiple 91-92 rated icons retained for future high-requirement SBCs
This fodder value provides a meaningful floor to icon pick value, ensuring that even “miss” selections retain utility within the broader FIFA ecosystem. For players actively completing icon SBCs like Hullet, these high-rated cards can represent significant savings on market purchases.
The Psychology of Icon Picks
Our extensive opening session revealed interesting psychological aspects of icon picks. The anticipation and subsequent emotional response—whether elation or disappointment—demonstrates why these picks remain among the most coveted rewards in FIFA. The dramatic reveal animation, coupled with the historical significance of icons, creates a uniquely engaging experience that transcends mere card acquisition.
This psychological dimension explains why players continue to pursue icon picks despite their inconsistent return on investment. The possibility, however remote, of securing a premium icon creates a compelling risk-reward proposition that maintains their allure regardless of average expected value.
Comparative Value Assessment
When evaluating our overall icon pick results, we must consider both absolute and relative value metrics. While many individual picks yielded underwhelming results when viewed in isolation, the occasional premium pull significantly elevated the average value across all openings. This variance is precisely what makes icon picks simultaneously frustrating and irresistible—the knowledge that the next selection could contain a game-changing card maintains engagement despite frequent disappointments.
In the final analysis, our icon pick extravaganza demonstrated both the potential highs and inevitable lows of FIFA’s most prestigious player selection format. While the weight distribution clearly favors lower-valued icons, the possibility of securing a truly exceptional card ensures these picks will remain among the most sought-after rewards in the game.
