At the start of St. Patrick’s Day, there are two pack offers for 20,000 coins (Hybrid pack of gold and silver players – 6 Rare) and 30,000 coins (Hybrid pack of gold and silver players – all Rare).
How did St. Patrick’s Day – “St. Paddy’s Day” – go in previous years?
What else is coming our way in FUT 17 could be revealed by looking back at the “St. Patrick’s Day” events of past years. During the holidays, there were several pack offers in the shop. Additionally, a “St. Patrick’s Day Tournament” took place in single-player and multiplayer, offering delicious rewards.
And since special Squad Building Challenges (SBC) go live for every event in FUT 17, we assume there will be an SBC for St. Patrick’s Day as well. Update: There will be several SBCs, as has now been revealed.
