Got shite from my packs.

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.

Two billboards in mine but still shite. Mustafi and Pereira.
Another 76 rated wanker for my loan IF as well.
I just plundered £50 in packs and the best I got was a Buffon.
Nothing has changed.
After plunging the depths of 2-9 I managed to recover to grab my minimum 18 wins with three to spare.Originally Posted by The Merse
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.
Squad battles down? Game's freezing for me.
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
Another update? 742MB on XB1.
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.
Buy players with a higher stamina rating.
I'm on 4321 and mine are fine.
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:

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.
Why does he go for so much?
He's the rarest card in the game for some reason.
I picked up seven Traores yesterday.
Marquee matchups were easy as hell this week. Got fuck all though in rewards. Mandzukic & Bravo the only ones worth mentioning.
How can he go for 80k when thr max is usually 10k for plyers ranked that low?
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.
Hope you sold at the right time though.
They're about 19k each now.
Christ that's going to be good.
Fifteen minutes before the TOTW was actually released. Made not far off 100k profit.
Woof. I’ve got a Traore OTW I picked up in week one.
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.

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.
Varane is tempting given he’s already in my team.
I use Sane so he is on the radar, Forsberg would have been had they not made him a LM.
Ousmane Dembele is so good.
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.
I like the chemistry angle and wouldn't want to see it binned.
Christiansen MVP is so good.
I'm gonna sink a ton in at 5pm.rool:
Why 5pm?
Just drawn the same team for a second time on squad battles. I only know I have because it's named "She was only XI".
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.
That's what time I finished but as it is I can't get it to recognise my details.
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.
Bagged a Suarez. :Cool:
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.
