Promo Packs & Lightning Rounds
EA knows that these events are the perfect time to sell packs and for that reason they release the most wanted packs on the FUT 18 store.
Discounted Coin Packs
Sales are back! For the third time in the FUT history, some of the best packs will have coin price discounts up to 50%. These coin discounted packs will be available for a limited time only. These offers are not available for purchases made with FIFA Points.
Squad Building Challenges
Every single FIFA 18 event has its own squad building challenges and Lunar New Year is no exception. To celebrate this time of the year, play the new SBC with the chance to earn unique rewards. Hurry though, it’s only available for a limited time!
Themed Kit
EA will offer a Lunar New Year kit, like they did last year, to all FUTers who logged in the game at least once.
Special Rewards
Log in to FIFA 18 Ultimate Team during the Lunar New Year event (Feb 16 to Feb 19) to receive your reward. The reward (s) you receive are based on the number of days you logged in to FUT since launch. The more days you logged in to FUT on your console, PC, Web App and Companion App the higher your reward.
Last Year Offers
The Lunar New Year SBC rewards include an exclusive kit and a rare gold pack.
The Players
If you can get your hands on him, Manchester City's Bernardo Silva's Crimson RW 92 is a solid option to play opposite Mobile Master Cristiano Ronaldo for Deco's Icon Campaign, and Red Mancunians jealous of Manchester City and Liverpool's Otamendi and van Dijk 91 CBs get one of their own in Victor Lindelöf's Crimson 91 CB.
Lunar New Year Campaign
7 single-play events and an eighth repeatable event cycle every 8 hours. Winning one of the first seven events will earn you Red Envelopes or Lunar New Year points. The eighth event rewards coins with a chance at more Red Envelopes or Lunar New Year points.
Packs
Two Lunar New Year packs for 350k coins, or unlimited packs for 1000FP and a bundle of 10 with a topper of one Lucky Player for 10k FP are available to be bought in the store. Appearing alongside these offers are Lucky Coin packs and Firecracker packs. Two Lucky Coin offers rotate every 8 hours.
Guide
Getting the most out of LNY lies heavily on obtaining LNY points and Red Envelope currency. Saving Red Envelopes for when LNY points are on offer will help you progress further in the Celebration Chapter, however, I would advise not spending your LNY points until near the end of the event when you know how many points you have.
Summary
8 hour cycles are a step up from Carniball's 12 hour grinds, but are still not as exhaustive as End of an Era's 6 hour VSA cycles. Players for every position except LWB and RWB should help improve squads, and cause other players' prices to drop a little with new Elite players on the market.
