Panini Adrenalyn XL FIFA 365 2027

[GStephens]

Starting a new thread for the Adrenalyn collection of FIFA 365 2027 as the first low resolution packaging images have been released.

The Nightmare XL seems to be a new product similar to how Topps do seasonal themed limited editions.

I'm curious to see what teams are included, although I doubt I'll be collecting this set no matter what as I don't understand its purpose and ended up not enjoying the last one I did collect.

It's like the poor man's Match Attax with other random teams in it.

I collected last year's collection - it was pretty frustrating actually, some base cards were quite hard to find. There were quite a few parallels and it wasn't cheap to complete.

But in a non world cup year - I also don't see the point in this and I doubt very much I'll be doing it again this year.

The list of teams is now out. There are 14 club sides and 10 international teams (including 2 who didn't play in the WC). There are a lot of WC themed cards.

My question is "Why" -- the WC was last season - there is no point in featuring international teams again. I was considering giving this set a go again as there is absolutely nothing else to collect at the moment but this hybrid set just seems totally pointless so I don't think I'll bother.

Prices are also up from last season.

I think there are 18 clubs.
Anyway, I agree with you. I hope the sticker collection features some more clubs like Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, but I'm afraid Topps has exclusive rights for those.

There has always been discussion about what this collection really means and the answer is usually absolutely nothing. It's felt more and more like a random gathering of teams they can license the last few years.

The biggest concern I would have for this set is the inclusion of so many international teams. We've just had the World Cup, it's totally unnecessary. Logically I can only assume they need to include them to pad it out and put some "stars" in the collection, at which point you have to ask yourself is it really a good idea? The head says no, the bank account says yes I guess.

I won't be collecting this but I hope it's good for those who do. I think the sticker collection will be a much better shout for those interested in FIFA 365.

There are 16 club sides and 12 international teams.

The 16 clubs feature 3 each from Portugal, Spain and France so not exactly representative of all world clubs.

The 12 international teams feature 2 who didn't even qualify for the recent WC and 2 European nations who didn't exactly set the tournament alight even though they were in it.

There's nothing else to collect at the moment so I was thinking about this - but it's just too incoherent and I didn't find it a particularly easy set to collect last year.

It's also more expensive than last year's collection was.

So I think I'll leave it - guess I'll have to wait until November.

The preview multipacks for this collection cost £7.99 this year for 4 packs of 6 cards.

Last year they cost £6.99 and there were 8 cards in a packet.
