FIFA, or EA FC, has garnered a huge loyal fan base throughout the years. While many purchase the game solely for the offline component, most of the player base consists of FUT players who play the game religiously. However, with FUT containing so many meticulous aspects, keeping up with it has become a full-time job.
From the extremely volatile market to the daily launched SBCs, there’s so much you need to keep track of; otherwise, you’ll become uncompetitive. This can make the game feel like a grind, rather than a playful experience. If you’re in the same boat, and your fingers are tired of scrolling through Twitter, Reddit, and FUTbin just to keep up, I’ve built something for you.
Say hello to FUTCast from Operation Sports, your one-stop shop for all things Ultimate Team. This is something that I really wished existed, so when no one else was creating it, I decided to do it myself. FUTCast is an all-in-one Ultimate resource built for the busy sports gamer. It’s something that makes sure you don’t have a million tabs open just to find the cheapest solution to the POTM SBC.
Instead, in less time than a division rivals match, it aims to deliver all the necessary information that a FUT player needs, right to their inbox. The goal is simple: I want to make EA FC Ultimate Team enjoyable again, just like it used to be. So, every Monday/Wednesday/Friday, expect a top-to-bottom recap of what’s happening in FUT, which will keep you competitive without burning your neurons.
The Newsletter will cover all bases, and here’s what you can expect to see in each issue:

- Promo and pack updates — what’s live, what’s coming, what’s worth your coins.
- SBC solutions & Evolutions — efficient completions, best upgrades, value advice.
- Buy/Sell/Hold calls — actionable weekly investment tips.
Now, you might be thinking, Why should you listen to me? Well, you don’t have to. But trust me, if someone handed me the sauce to unlock my Ultimate Team potential back when I was grinding FIFA 14, I would’ve happily accepted it, because I was spending 12+ hours on that game.
The entire point of FUTCast is to do all the digging for you, so you can spend your precious time playing the game instead of wasting it on gathering information. At Operation Sports, we’ve been doing this for a long time, and our entire community is built around that trust. The best part about it is that all of this will be curated by a die-hard FC player himself, and I don’t intend to let you down at all.
If you’re like me, and you’ve been searching long for something that fulfills all your FUT needs, it’s finally here. Check out the first Wednesday FUTCast issue now to get a taste of what’s to come; I covered everything related to the TOTW 5 drop, ratings reload team 2 leaks, and how the market is gonna change.
I hope you’re going to join me on this journey!
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Wyoming shook off a slow start to run their unbeaten record to 9-0 (6-0). Due to a spate of upsets, including #2 Georgia Tech losing to #11 Miami, the Pokes are likely to climb in behind Ohio State at #2 in the BCS rankings. The #1-ranked Buckeyes dispatched Michigan State 24-7.
Wyoming set out to exploit an undersized and inexperienced defensive line and did just that. The Pokes didn't turn the knife as much as they probably could have, but 47 carries for 320 yards (6.8 YPC) isn't slouching either. Kelvin Mack Jr. (SR) led the team with 18 carries for 73 yards (4.0 YPC) and two TDs. But, it was QB Darrin Green (rSR) that really made his mark. Green carried 15 times for 148 yards (9.8 YPC) with a TD while proving that AFA's defense wasn't ready for the Wyoming option game. Green was inaccurate on his first few passes, but ended up completing 14/23 (60%) for a modest 152 yards and no turnovers. The Pokes have become somewhat spoiled in that a turnover-free game with 300 total yards for Green is met with a collective "meh." Whether he was running over linebackers and safeties or outflanking them, it was a quality effort for DG6.
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- That was....expected? The Rainbow Warriors suffered a recent coaching change and graduation of a couple of robo QBs along with a 1st round NFL pick at safety. The result? Getting tripled up at War Memorial Stadium apparently. Seriously struggling in 2023. How badly? How about 113th-ranked offense and 103rd-ranked defense? Quite poor. One might even deign to call Hawai'i rubbish this year. Gone are the days of QB Michael Jackson moonwalking all over Wyoming's defense with Coach Bohl going home and angrily polishing off a bottle of whisky, rallying, but ultimately going to sleep and not even dreaming.
Lopsided in all aspects, there were many strong performances on the Wyoming side. Green completed 17/21 (80%) for 263 yards with four TDs and two INTs (229.9 QB rating)--one of the interceptions was most definitely on the receiver. Green also motored for 103 rushing yards on 14 carries (7.3 YPC) and a pair of TDs. HB Kelvin Mack Jr. (SR), backup QB Frankie Sanchez (rJR), and backup HB Jamaal Harlow (rFR) accounted for the other three rushing TDs. What? Ridden on a horse? Mack racked up 128 rushing yards on 17 rushes (7.5 YPC) while catching five passes for 64 yards and a TD that way. He could grip it by the husk. Redshirt freshman wunderkind WR Russell Thomas continues to emerge as well. Thomas caught six balls for 107 yards and two of Green's four TD passes. With 673 yards of total offense and nine touchdowns, there's hardly anything to complain about. Unless you find scoring only seven TDs in eight red zone trips to be offensive.
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- The big take home from this game is that Wyoming's 30-10 win clinched the Mountain Division. Colorado State had been keeping up pretty gamely with the 11-0 (8-0) Pokes, but with just one conference game left and Wyoming's 50-32 win over CSU earlier this season, Rich Rod's Rams will just have to try again in 2024. Wyoming's conference title game opponent is not yet clear; Fresno State, Nevada, and San Jose State are all vying for that honor. Stepping back to look at the larger picture, #1 Ohio State and #2 Wyoming are the only undefeateds remaining in FBS. Michigan and BYU are up next, respectively.
QB Darrin Green (rSR) accounted for three touchdowns, two passing and one rushing. Green gained 283 of Wyoming's 444 yards of offense. He didn't turn the ball over. Yawn. He certainly has spoiled Wyoming fans. The fave target in this one was Cedric Weaver (rJR); the 6'4" wideout caught five balls for 103 yards and a TD.
PROVO, Utah -- In an anticlimactic end to a spotless 2023 regular season, undefeated Wyoming bullied longtime Mountain West rival BYU to the tune of 41-13 at LaVell Edwards Stadium. It's not technically a trophy game, but it's most definitely a venerable rivalry series; beating the Cougs is mandatory for the Pokes.
The real show in this game was Wyoming's defense giving the business to BYU's offense. This game marked the 6th straight in which Coach Bohl's defense has held the opponent to 21 or fewer points. The only time that BYU felt dangerous was a tackle-breaking, tour-de-force farce of a touchdown drive coming out of halftime. Brigham Young's QB Matt Jones (rJR) was the scrambling type and was sacked four times and picked off three times. Other than that, great game bro. Jones completed 26/34 (76%) for 229 yards with zero touchdowns; he ran 15 times for 57 yards (3.8 YPC) while fumbling once.
