You're shitting me. That was seconds after it launched, right?
Probably. They have changed how they calculate the winner too. Total XP vs Average. It’s 64% to 36%. Not even close.
Headliners already being leaked....
FB Muller and showdown Keita vs Kovavic coming apparently. Wont be touching those unless they are really cheap. I ended doing Etebo to use dupes and he wont even get a game.
Those cards all sound terrible.
EA are clearly deliberately putting shit players in SBC's and even worse ones in objectives, while they load packs with end game shizzle.
Yep, dogshit content again.
Terrible and not even a token.
Just got Teze out of one of the 2 x player picks though. He looks filthy
Very nice. I've still not packed a single winter wildcard, having opened a tonne of shit league SBC packs, loads of bronze packs, a fuck load of silver and gold upgrades and the 81-89 pack from the tokens.
Back on, so maybe that will change. https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
Did the 85x10:
TOTW Sommer, WW Taremi and a load of gold fodder
New party bag with a token and then a 'normal' SBC with a token.
I got WW Morales from level 14 season pack. He looks like he could be fun, if hard to get in my team (ahead of Benzema/Fekir).
My Party bag had Reyna in it.
Mid Best, Mid Puyol and Prime Zola SBCs are up.
Got Capa out the Party Bag. Pretty happy with that as I like his cards, even if he's not top tier
Very tempted to do George Best.
He looks reasonably priced. Not sure if I will do him having done Beckham.
Looks like todays TOTW will include 4 OTW upgrades (Lukaku, Dumfries, Hakimi and Kluivert)
Diallo silverstar
Pretty sure thats very helpful to me.
Will be nice to link in Nteka and the Prem crew
Stuck between two options right now. Thinking option 1. Either way its looking nice. Pregame and in game below.
Option 1
Toggle Spoiler
Option 2

I'd probably go with the second as it's got better chem on the players who you'll feel more of a difference on (I think). Also, you're missing Henry at LB and a better keeper possibly too?
Will have to compare Henry to Bryan. Bryan is there mostly for Deeney so is somewhat dispensable.
I do have Butland but I always stick the rare in. Even though I am 99% sure silvers dont count to the SB milestone.
I'm pretty sure that's the case too Danny, can't seem to get them to count no matter what I do.
I picked up Teze earlier so my Eredivisie team is now pretty much complete. Will need to give them some games in Rivals
After 12 days away from the console I hopped back on last night to get the Silver Star done and start some work on Trippier. I’ve also done the Pandev and Orsolini SBCs, just for the hell of it really.
Helping my Serie A squad come together is WW Maignan who I packed in an untradeable 82+ player pack from a milestone of some description. I then packed a tradeable version in the next pack (Small Gold Players Pack) who immediately sold for 55k.
Pack luck seems to be in (I also packed a tradeable Oblak, Bruno and Kroos) and I’ve got a number of packs still saved up to go. Might get me towards an icon. I also need to decide what to do with the WW tokens…
I checked just now and I am still on 157. Meaning the 2 games I played with the silver team didnt count. So looks like Butland will be in. Maybe I can make some coin on this silver.Originally Posted by Yevrah
I do have Henry in the club too so may try out both and see what I like.
He looks disgusting with a shadow. I really should start rotating my teams in rivals but I always go with the 'main' (Ronaldo, Ginola, 90 Silva etc) to get through my 7 as quick as possible.
If you have 15 of them, the 85 x 10 for this promo (or headliners) might be banging for a fresher club.After 12 days away from the console I hopped back on last night to get the Silver Star done and start some work on Trippier.

Brought in a load from the current promo, as it includes some reason perennial faves for me in Ben Yedder, Aouar and Allessandrini and allowed me to fit in the freshly packed David.
Div Rivals - going after the 7 x first owned objective:
Weekend League:
Both switching to 4-1-2-1-2 wide as usual. Aouar to RM, Allessandrini to LM.
David is brilliant, Allessandrini is an upgrade on Salah for sure, and Guendouzi is obscene for his price tag. He’s very much up there with Vieira and has given me an edge from midfield I was lacking a bit of late with Kante, through his ability to pick a pass and also physicality.

Nice teams Merse. That Yedder/David 5* WF pairing must be filthy.
Aouar has been great for me, really like his card. Also really liking Sow/Davies/Upamecano as a back/left side
Indeed, quality teams Merse.
Yeeting my entire club into 78+ picks, doing a couple of icons and maybe restocking the club afterwards.
https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
Yedders busy body cuntiness at CAM is superb.
Having everyone except my centre backs and right back be 4 and 5* WFs is immense in general. Hoping to get a nicer right back at some point, but right now I’m very happy across the board.
Atal/Zambrotta FTW. I have SS Atal and he's pretty great - although his stamina is too low for an attacking fullback, so I have him on stay back when I play him.
I like the look of Attal, but stamina is a big deal for me - I overlap and use the full backs a lot, so I like them to be higher.
Cafu is the one that looks ideal. But I’m open to anyone that I can get in an SBC as the club is overly full of untradeable players I’m not using and need to get rid of.
New promo out.
- Kieta vs Kovacic showdown (former looks good to me, but I don't really need another Prem CM)
- Felipe Anderson Objective card (stamina kills the card a bit but he's decent)
- Reece James/Acuna with some more mega cards
- Nkunku gets another promo card
Bronze and Silver rares have banged big time.
With on all of that. Ill be passing on the showdown, neither will displace Kante, KDB or Silva.New promo out.
- Kieta vs Kovacic showdown (former looks good to me, but I don't really need another Prem CM)
- Felipe Anderson Objective card (stamina kills the card a bit but he's decent)
- Reece James/Acuna with some more mega cards
- Nkunku gets another promo card
Nkunku is a funny one. He has to get into this promo as one of the better players. Rulebreakers is probably the only 'unearned' card at this point.
If it helps anyone I can confirm the Winter Wildcard players now count in the 200 Rare Battles objective. 32 to go for me.
Ill probably put Etebo in my Prem team so that is good to know.
Did Best and Puyol yesterday. The former feels pretty good (albeit you may as well just buy Messi) , while the latter feels genuinely disabled on the ball.
Sounds about right. I don't associate him as a ball playing defender. He just heads shit. Probably last of the old guard before Pep ruined football.
Got on for a bit after 2 o’clock and perhaps a bit much whiskey and ginger, 7-2 for the night, so easily on course for the 11 wins I’m after.
This team just sings - Allessandrini is ridiculous. You spot his runs a mile off and they’re fucking brilliant, well worth it if you can fit him in a wide position.
Got to the 11 wins I wanted in 14 games total before RQing from there as I need to be in the Emirates in 6 hours time.
Got the Saka I wanted from the red picks, along with Ward Prowse and Lafont. No biggy, it’s a shit week.
Fuck all from TOTW pack, Modric and Ndidi from the others. Bit of a shit week all around.
It doesn't make much sense, and I can't easily fit him into my team, but I think I need that Acuna card
He does look filthy. Didn't realise Alessandrini was H/L (cheers Merse), so I've just bought him. Making the team:
Hakimi and Aouar on the wings in a 3-5-2 in game. All first owned bar Romain and Hakimi. The latter from red picks this weekend please EA.

Oh and paging Waff, Diaz has a Headliner card.
Double oh, you can basically open bronze packs for free at the moment too if you sell wank rares while you do it.
That Mendy looks very replaceable with an Acuna-shaped object
I've picked him up clean for 113k
I reckon that'll affect a few of you guys, no?
Sadly not for me. Are you tempted back Fox?
I was, just before Christmas, knowing I had this week off. I was hoping to see it down to £30 or so, as it was when I got '21 at the start of December last year.
Sadly it was still near full price. Not really had the itch since.
Puyol's that bad? Just started chucking together squads for him.
He might be alright, I haven't really used him in earnest yet.
I'd rather get Cozza than Puyol tbf
Tempted by Acuna as he’d get Kounde on full Chem, but the French fella has been great for me…
Surprised you’ve not gone for Lodi at LB, @Yevrah he’s a big step up from Mendy.
