    Got shite from my packs.

    Current team
    Toggle Spoiler


    Next upgrades are likely to be Thiago and James for Keita and Forsberg.

    I might put Alaba back into the Hybrid since the improvements to the Bundesliga side are going to make that MUCH stronger.

    I just plundered £50 in packs and the best I got was a Buffon.

    Nothing has changed.

    The new additions really added something - Mbappe is so much quicker and better at finishing than Bakambu, and god help anyone who switches to attacking against him. He and Gameiro make a lovely pair. At the back in the same team I brought in Varane for Natcho which made a big difference. Where Bailly and Smalling in my other squad were easily the better pairing of the two, Varane and Umtiti are probably just as good in the other now and having Aba on one side and another newbie, Semedo on the other makes them a better unit altogether. I felt like this week I saw the best of a few players after expanding my game to cope with the patch. Dembele, Martial, Willian and Bakayoko have excelled this evening. Scream Kovacic remains quality even when the boost falls off, and Dele Alli scores several game clinching screamers.

    Most of all though, I have game clinching subs now - Gueye and Serri have been in my club for an age, but with catalyst and engine applied respectively, they can see out games or turn them.

    Patch is fine by me now.

    Aiming for Reus, Lloris or De Gea, IF Ter Stegen, IF Goretzka and Kante in pretty much that order. Reus is affordable come Thursdays rewards and is the most needed immediate upgrade (for Gnabry).

    Got TOWT Toloi from one of the SB packs. Literally no idea who that is. I just keep getting the shit TOTW players.
    Other pack had Lopez from La Coruna who I already have. Fooled me first thinking it was De Gea with the billboard rare spanish goalkepper.

    My loan was Ashley Young but I have him already.

    Casillas the best from my free packs along with 4k coins.

    SB packs sucked.

    Played another game on pro that I got raped. I usually win quite comfortable on pro but some of these games feels like a much higher difficulty.

    The very next game against a much more superior team than the one I lost too. 3-0 win.

    I have also had to bump the difficulty down to pro. I did move it to world class, but i was getting kilt. Pro used to be 3 goals mimum wins but now, its much more competitive.

    The 4321 formation sucks off all the energy of your three CM. Its crazy. They are completely done by the 75th minute. 433 (4) with the two CM and one CAM works so much better for me. Only one of them seems to get fatigued

    I've pretty much just gone for the Liverpool squad plus Koscieny. I'm debating whether I splash on Mane?

    I got everyone else I think.

    Finding my CMs Ella’s fatigued this year but that may just be due to better stamina amongst them. My wingers are completely fucked after 70 mins though, guess as I bring them back a lot to close down in the midfield. Don’t think fluid positioning helps much either.

    Ill review the system and players involved.

    is there any real reason to play with bronze or silver players? It seems such a waste to have them besides using them for SBC. There should be silver and bronze only multiplayer tournaments or a mixture of both. I see they have them in single player season, but thats it. Looking online, it sounds like they did have multi-player versions but they got thrown away.

    I used to play with silver teams on older versions, it's fun sometimes as they bring something else.

    Speaking of silvers, check your clubs for this guy:

    https://www.futbin.com/18/player/2469/Cristiano/

    Probably the rarest card in the game and goes for 80k no question.

    No fucking James in TOTW.

    I bought 2 of them at 200k a pop.

    Edit: Traore though so I just sold the one I bought for 14.5k for 30k.

    Marquee matchups were easy as hell this week. Got fuck all though in rewards. Mandzukic & Bravo the only ones worth mentioning.

    EA set the price ranges.

    There are more silvers with more than 10k, like:

    https://www.futbin.com/18/player/2395/Bryan%20Dabo/

    https://www.futbin.com/18/player/2501/Pione%20Sisto/

    A few more too.

    EA can also change the ranges when they want. Last year they would increase the max prices of some needed for SBCs (Belgians IIRC) because they were extinct at their normal max.

    Fifteen minutes before the TOTW was actually released. Made not far off 100k profit.

    He has one star weak foot?

    Think I've finally got to grips with the patch and got my finishing mojo back. Sat comfortably in Elite 3 with all squad battles games up to date and I'm never normally that high up the rankings at this stage, so my first Elite 2 might be a possibility.

    Got a nice little hybrid on the go at the moment. It's a work in progress, but I'm happy enough with a few of the players that they'll be hanging around.

    GK - Ederson
    DR - IF Meunier
    DC - Marquinhos
    DC - David Luiz
    DL - IF Kolasinac
    RMC - Tielemans
    MC - Dembele
    LMC - IF Aaron Mooy
    RF - IF Origi
    ST - IF Batshuayi
    LF - Son

    Mooy is fucking brilliant. An utter bargain for the twenty odd k I paid for him.

    http://www.futhead.com/path-to-glory/

    FIFA 18's next big event is upon us. EA Sports have dropped "Path to Glory," an event that introduces a brand new item type that's focused on the journey to the 2018 FIFA World Cup. These new items are aimed at the younger generation looking to make a name for themselves on the world's stage. Much like regular Ones to Watch cards, these items will have the chance of getting upgrades throughout the year based on real-life performance.

    OTW 2.0.

    Lol at them talking about the 'younger generation' and the SBCs this week feature Defoe and Mario Gomez.

    I will have to buy Sane as he should be worth it. I'd also love Rashford but I don't know how many IFs he has in him.

    A 7,000+ point round from the 8am games this morning takes me to Elite 2, with a two and a half thousand point buffer to play with.

    I'm soon going to need to upgrade my teams a bit though, which is a shame.

    Saw an idea on the EA FIFA forums earlier that I really liked - giving the captain in your team an orange link to every player.

    I think they should just do away with it altogether.

    You can't bill the game mode as 'The chance to build your ULTIMATE TEAM' if your team will be crippled due to chemistry.

    Needs to stay IMHO.

    I’d prefer instead that it was harder to get full chem, forcing more people to think creatively and/or sacrifice chem for the team they want to use.

    Oh and yeh, it’s Ultimate Team. Not ultimate set of players.

    That's a more common team name than you'd like to countenance.

    People like shitty pun names, so that, Borussia Teeth, Bayern Neverlosen, etc will all come up fairly often.

    Think of anything Magic might name his Fantasy Football team and chances are there are a thousand teams called it.

    Fair point. I had it in my head that they needed to be unique.

    Elite 2 is secured for squad battles, currently sat on 62,000 points + with two games still to play.

    I'll sort those and finish off the seasons division I'm in and post the team and the stats up as improvements are needed I feel and would welcome input.

    I've got him in my sights as it happens, so would be good to hear what he's like. Loved him last year and I'm assuming EA won't make him the La Liga SBC reward two years running, so I'll have to buy him.

    Chucked some cash in for enough points to do the current promo packs and pulled Aguero.

    Did the entire Mexican League SBC and all of the tasty packs from the Portuguese and Turkish leagues earlier today and pulled fuck all close to that.
