Football Fever 2023

This year's kicking event is here! With the same mechanics as the previous events, we'll need to grow 2 different crops and get 1 kind of drop to play.

To get prized we'll need to collect star coins that can be spent in the shop. To get the givers & cloudrow we'll need 750 star coins. Also offered are 4 upgrades for the new Surfer Up giver which require 248 star coins. Add to that 2 Picollo Boxes at 200 each making 400 star coins.

Event crops:

White soccer buds (6h30 on Main land and Green Meadow only)
Black soccer buds (6h30 in Main land and Green Meadow only)

Drop:

Rubber Band Ball (from crops and trees on the 3 main lands (Main land, Green Medow & Magical Glade))

No milling required to play, just have these in inventory:

422 White soccer buds
425 Black soccer buds
63 Rubber Band Balls

Playing fields will change by rotation of 10 minigames and will reward different amounts of star coins. We'll get 5 tries to get to the end of a minigame, if your ball is stopped by the opponent 5 times the minigame will end and you'll collect the prizes you've won playing up to that point.

List of star coins given per game:

Game 1: 18 (start) + 30 max goal
Game 2: 12 (start) + 36 max goal + 24 at the start by losing 1 try
Game 3: 12 (start) + 36 max goal
Game 4: 18 (start) + 36 max goal
Game 5: 18 (start) + 30 max goal (shot must go through the center) + 18 at start by losing 1 try
Game 6: 24 (start must go through the moving opponent) + 30 max goal
Game 7: 18 (start) + 36 max goal
Game 8: 18 (start must go through the moving opponent) + 36 max goal
Game 9: 18 (start) + 42 max goal
Game 10: 30 (start) + 42 max goal + 18 at the start by losing 1 try

Game 2, 5 and 10 offer a chance to get more star coins by kicking the ball to an opponent, returning the ball to our playing player for a new try. Looking on the game sketches, they look possible to make but don't know how many tries it could take to do so.

Just getting the 4 giver's upgrades for 248 star coins could be done in 5 games (bonuses or not):

2110 White soccer buds in 4 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
2125 Black soccer buds in 4 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
315 Rubber Band Balls

Just getting the 3 givers + cloudrow for 750 star coins can be achived between 13 (all bonuses) and 15 (no bonuses) minigames:

5486 to 6330 White soccer buds in 10 to 11 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
5525 to 6375 Black soccer buds in 10 to 11 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
819 to 945 Rubber Band Balls

Just getting the 2 Piccolo boxes for 400 star coins can be done in 7 (all bonuses) or 8 (no bonuses) games:

2954 to 3376 White soccer buds in 5 to 6 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
2975 to 3400 Black soccer buds in 5 to 6 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
441 to 504 Rubber Band Balls

To get cloudrow + 3 givers + 4 upgrades for 998 star coins, we'll need between 17 (all bonuses) to 19 (no bonuses) games:

7174 to 8018 White soccer buds in 12 to 14 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
7225 to 8075 Black soccer buds in 12 to 14 full harvests on 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
1071 to 1197 Rubber Band Balls

For the crazy minds that want to get all 3 sets for a grand total of 1398 star coins needed will have to play 22 (all bonuses) to 27 (no bonuses) minigames:

9284 to11394 White soccer buds in 16 to 19 full harvests one 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
9350 to 11475 Black soccer buds in 16 to 19 full harvests one 1 field of 202 1x1 plots with CAC
1386 to 1701 Rubber Band Balls

To make sure you have enough buds, you should sow one particular event crop on the Main field and the second one on the Green Meadow.

 

Thank you Northy for your VERY detailed strategy post! You are amazing! I am doing the event BUT I am just going after 4 curtain up grades, 2 piccolo boxes and then what ever super grow and suzy super grow I can get! I have planned to plant white crops on main field and black crops on green meadow and hope the drops are with us! Good luck every one and I hope we all reach our "Goals!!"

 

I'm doing as you sandollar15, just the upgrades. I do not like this cloudrow at all, ain't worthy of tearing down my farm for it. Comparing this event to the previous one, the two crops jumped from 5h30 to 6h30 and the event crops required were both 424 and now 422 and 425 (a really sick joke to not ask for the same amout). Even the prizes didn't change in the star coins market (5 ash trees in the same place)!

For those who miss givers from last year's event, they're offered on the last page of the market.

I'm also wishing good luck to all who are doing this event, may you reach your goals and may the wheel be good to you all!

 

Northy, THANK YOU for starting the strategy thread! And you went over the top with your calculations! THANKS for that, too! Now I know what I'm doing!

This farm and PM23's are getting the upgrades for the new giver. SL's farm will go a little further than that, but not much... that cloudrow is the most 'meh' we've had in a while.

I'm off to plant the event crops. Pretty sure I need moar coffee.

 

Thank you Northy for putting together such a wonderful strategy thread. I haven't been doing much in the way of events lately but I usually like the soccer one and am fairly good at it. But I have to say the cloud row doesn't interest me at all so I'll probably only do enough for the upgrades and the piccolo boxes and that will do me.

Good luck to everyone no matter what your goal is.

Thanks for starting this Event Thread Nordais

I too agree Cloud Row and Givers is not worth it so i will splurge my star coins on good stuff in the store

I try get as many Star Coins as i can dependling my luck on harvester boosters

 

Thank you Northy for starting the thread and with so much info!
I will go as far as I can - the CR and contents will be last on my Star shopping list!

I will go for the Fruit Cake stables and Amber Wonder trees then Piccolo Boxes and finally PF - anything after that will be a bonus! Not "aiming" high, so no disappointments!
Good luck everybody!

 

Ditto. I too will accumulate stars then decide what to do with them. Good luck with scoring everyone.

 

Thank you, Northy! I stand in awe of your math skills - makes my head spin just thinking of all those numbers

I am poking along at the event. Don't want to change my fields at all as my main focus is quests. Accumulating enough buds for a game is slow going, but I'm fine with that. Managed to play two games so far and I found it more challenging than the last/first time I did this event. Those critters sure are much more spry than I!

 

Regarding to Surfer Hut Upgrades........I am only getting upgrades from this Soccer Event, Firefly Event, upgradable Objects Event and Neon Breeding Event

The Prizes from Crates of Bonanza Goodies are not that wonderful compare to other Crates plus i got quiet a few CR that Boost my givers as I constantly keep my highest Givers in My Park, Lighthouse and Haunted Manor

Plus i am still getting Hamster Flytraps, Dotted Parasol and Floral Tunes from Piccolo Wonder Boxes that gives alot of EP still many zillions of EP is still required it takes a couple of months to level up my current farm level

I wont be buy Surfer Hut Packs i rather buy better stuff with my BB stocks nor will i spend Star Coins on Surfer Hut Upgrades

I be doing the same as Illy1996 One less CR to click when this event ends

 

I have played 25 mini games, and have gotten the 4 curtian up grades, and put them on the surfer hut that I now have in the Pet playground! I also have the 2 Piccolo boxes and got the suzy's super grow 50x twice and the same with the super grow 50x twice.
I am playing on as I still have event crops and need to get drops. Good luck and I hope you all reach your goals too!

 

Smiling happy, 2x Piccolo, 2x Buff crate, 2x SG50, 4x SG20, 2x SSG50... then noticed that Surfers Hut up-grades.. but there is time, I have 30 starcoins left so, doin that 4 curtains and THEN all most finished

 

I just completed my 10th game and noticed game 10 is the last shown in the FAQ. Do the rest of the games go in a random order, or do they repeat the patterns in order from #1-10? IOW, is game 11 the same as game 1?

 

Yes, it should. A strange thing happened tho: playing on my main farm and my baby farm from the standalone switched things around, the order of the 1 to 10 games wasn't the same as shown...

EDIT: Is it me or some of the moves are impossible to make? At the start of a game I tried to go for the extra coins and couldn't, I had to stop because I couldn't make it even after 4 tries! I'm so glad I didn't go for the cloudrow!!!

 

No, it's not just you, Northy. I wasn't quite so clever as you and I lost the game trying for an extra 12 Star Coins!

I am also glad I didn't go for the CR - I have already got the Fruit Cake stables - and won another Red-eared Slider - and the Piccolo Boxes. Now working towards the PF ones which I should, barring stupid mistakes (like not checking what the best Star Coin prize is before shooting!), get the two lots of 30 at least.
Talking of Piccolo Boxes, I won one from a Crate O' Kung Fu yesterday!
Good luck everybody!

 

Cloud Row, 2 Piccolo Boxes, 2 lots of Fruit Cake Wonder stables, 2 lots of Amber Wonder trees and 5 party tickets.
