Thursday will have the full team and I reckon Friday the 12th Man and HM's. Not sure what they'll do with icons.

Hopefully all back in for a mad week.
Free CB evo out. Looks like another boost to Lindelof. Going to have 92 passing and 91 defending.
It looks like Thursday
I accidentally removed from Bruno Jordao Evo from Fut.gg that I'm leaving unclaimed in Growth Spurt 2. Now I cant find the card with the matching stats to add him back in.
Got one.

Lovely stuff. Which pack was she in?
83x 10
I have been opening one a day to provide the fodder for two completions. Maybe I will save them now since I got one.
Not sure how to get her in the team. Shes probably better but Maldini and TOTW VVD are had to displace.
She was the double walkout behind Hegerberg so atleast I didnt get baited into thinking it was Theo
Become a 5ATB rat
Wash your mouth out!
Maybe once we see what Kante costs ill revisit. Kante, Zidane and Bruno in the middle would make chem easier for her. Would be sad to drop RTTK Modric.
Not sure what’s going on but in the space of 3 packs I have got Litmanen and Cahill from league SBC grind to use dupes

Working on the Antony evo and I love that you can do his retarded spin
No. via Fut.GG you can add your current evo cards. The trick currently is to not claim players at certain levels, so you can throw them into the next evo. I currently have Bruno Jordao CM card, that is at level 3 of Growth Spurt 2. 75-79-85-85-63-82 are his stats. I now cant see, this card anywhere on fut.cc or futbin, futwiz, etc.
When doing SBCs with multipe high segments. Is it always best to complete the highest-rated sections first?
Where possible, yeah, but I don't think it makes too much difference.
I feel like mentally, if you start with the big shit you are committed and it feels easier from there.
Icon evo is a disgrace.
200k for an 89-rated Gattuso with 77 pace
Dreadful. We are all waiting to Evo our Centurion Sharpshooter and Box2Box midfield cards.
Out of interest, how many Evos actually make your best team?
I only have Szloboszai (who'll get replaced by Bruno soon) and Martinez/Wan Bissaka on the bench. That's it
91 Shaw at LB. Dropped TB Robertson for him. He could go if I do Cafu and move TB Cancelo over.
88 Garnacho LW. Still enjoying the card even though I could probably do better.
I reckon full Evo's Antony might actually get in over TB Salah for me too.
87 Llorente and 87 Hannibal sit on the bench.
Oh yeah, forgot about Llorente. He's keeping AWB out.
I have Garnacho as well but his card it just too generic.
Yeah thats quite fair. Just hasnt let me down and I dont really have anyone special I would replace him with
Lucky if you get one. Llorente and Cancelo and Walker. now Malen i see in peoples teams often.
Hit the 100 mark of semi-decent packs.
Should be able to add to that tomorrow with the SBC upgrade refreshes but may need to open a few to do so. What I also have in the yeet locker are the following golds and specials cards:
89 x15
88 x14
87 x15
86 x19
85 x27
There were some difficult conversations, Peter Schmeichel took it particularly hard given he was in the team last week, but they all know that it's the right decision and want to play a part in generating a further 542 rare and 1,284 common golds for the PROJECT and they really had no argument left when I explained that with recycling that equated to 134 Premium League Upgrade Packs and 201 2 Rare player packs.
We start in earnest late evening on Friday.
Oh and the only thing left to decide is what packs to focus on, current ponderings:
League SBC's have to be the focus where possible, at least until such time where my brain can no longer cope with shoe horning 11 different clubs into each squad. Pound for pound the pack weight of the Premium League upgrades has historically been the worst going. I genuinely think it's something like 1 in a thousand/0.1% odds. There are more rares this year, but (as they've done with every other pack) they'll just make the odds worse to compensate for what looks like a better deal.
The Rare Gold Provisions pack in store is worth keeping an eye on. 55k coins for 55 players, which includes Lib players, so pack a couple of those and you're pushing the average cost of rares down to the 900 coin each mark. The streamers seem to think Rare Gold cards won't boom and Lib cards will come down, but given how so much is untradeable and the sheer amout of players that are going to be yeeted into SBC's I'm not convinced.
Still not sure what leagues I'll focus on when it does come to doing the Premium upgrade packs. The odds are so shit that brute forcing it with sheer volume doesn't help much, you just have to be lucky, so I might spread it about a bit this year. Maybe 35% Prem, 35% La Liga, 20% Ligue 1 and 10% MLS. The Honourable Mentions may help to decide which way to go, but the odds of getting the better ones of those are also dogshit.
2 Player Rare Gold Upgrades vs. 1 Rare League upgrades will yet again be a dilemma. The former gives you Lib cards which could be big, more golds to create the premium packs from and a shot at Ronaldo (lol), but the league packs always feel like the ones I should be doing.
I have 400k coins on hand, plus a tradeable standard Messi and Salah. Have held on to both in the hope they spike when they're out of packs (if Salah indeed is through getting an HM). I'd normally stock up on rare golds at this point to have a WARCHEST of the fuckers at the ready, but if I'm going to focus on League SBC's where possible I think I'd rather keep the coins on hand for now. 400k could be burnt through pretty easily to keep things going.
Oh and all this made me realise what I'd like to do next year if I'm in it from the start. Evo team up until TOTY - I'll just pick a random club, save all packs of the quality in the list above, yeet everything else into random roulette wheel SBC's in the hope of packing a monster and then burn through everything I've saved for TOTY and use that haul for the 2nd half of the game cycle with guest appearances from the Evo's I've grown attached to.
That is a lot of grind
I have just over 100 packs, but about 10% are bronze and silver.. I haven't opened packs over the past month so every pack in the objectives is being opened over the next few days.
Because I'm a degenerate I've been watching some streamers open packs and it really seems they've got you to a method of essentially unlimited packs as long as you have a decent amount saved.
Yeah, if you avoid player SBC's and chuck everything into the new exchange ones it's basically an unlimited grind. There's a chance you'll end the week with nothing, a pretty big chance I'd say, but that's only worth thinking about when you're drinking from a brown paper bag and scouring bins a week on Friday.
They've got the whole of both teams out, but they've lowered the pack weight. I hope you're ready to grind, lads.
Fuck it, let's get going.
https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
Don't want to open any of the good saved packs until tomorrow, but think there's a grind I can do for now which will involve a bit of web app.
Kante looks like a bit of a bust.
CM evo (75 rated) and LW 85 coming
Cannot use “in progress evo” cards apparently. Seems like they can’t fix it
Right, done for the night and fuck me, the pack weight is atrocious.
Kept all of my decent packs, but was doing the following grind with coins and submitting the odd high rated gold (I already had) to keep things going.
Mixed League Upgrade
Premium Mixed League Upgrade
2 Rare Gold Players Pack
Premium League Upgrade Pack
Obviously no TOTY packed, but that wasn't really the issue. The problem was that even 85+ cards were hard to pack and anything over 87 non-existant. Think I got two 87 golds, Lauren James In form (also 87) and a couple of 85's in five hours grinding. Only positive was did about 9 TOTW player picks, but had to dip into my stockpile of 85s even to do that.
Hopefully the better saved packs will change things tomorrow night.
I didnt get chance to open. It will probably be Saturday Morning now when i start. Jude will do me nice
I'm gonna hoover up whatever objectives come at six and then get cracking.
I think I am waiting until Sunday, though I have a lot less to open.
The 83x10 being gone is sad and that 86+ upgrade might be the worst value thing they've ever released.
Is this the best grind now?
Premium Mixed League Upgrade
2 Rare Gold Players Pack
Premium League Upgrade Pack
@Yevrah
Also has the Evo thing been patched?
Depends what coins, packs and fodder you're sat on Sincere and how far you're prepared to go. What have you got?
No icons in packs either sucks a bit, makes me tempted to wait now. Goddammit.
I've been watching Nick for a bit and he's been ranting on about how they've cut down massively on the grind.
Just watched Nep open viewer packs for 40 minutes and not only were there no TOTY's packed there were no Honourable Mentions either. Pack weight in the mud.
They must have seen the amount of people stacking packs and turned that dial all the way down.
I saw RTFM complaining that the % chance of a TOTY is now lower, with 22 potential players, than it was during any of the single defender, midfielder, or attacker stages.
Yeah, think this will be the best grind if you're solely focusing on getting a TOTY:
Mixed League SBC's
Premium League SBC's
2 Player Gold Updgrade Pack/League Upgrade
Premium League SBC
Do the 82 x 20, 85 x3 and 80+ gold player picks until they're all gone (86+ as well if you want but it's horrific value unless it's been juiced). 81s to 85s into the TOTW pack if you need in forms and 85s and higher into the exchange.
EDIT: That's what I'll be doing tonight and saving the bigger packs I have until tomorrow now when hopefully the icons come, if they don't I'm cracking them anyway.
