FIFA 19 - Sponsored by Promes to Sevilla

[Yevrah]

Another 0-3. I think I may get relegated back to division 6.

[Yevrah]

If he doesn't it's a fucking travesty. Could reasonably have Kante and Messi in this TOTW too. I'm going to have to pray I get lucky in those 100k packs.

Presumably Messi can't be in it because of the European card he has out.

[Danny]

Sterling out as an 88 LW. 8 IF needed. No special Sterling needed. Glad I only bought 1...
https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/a5hjb7/potm_sterling_lw/

TOTW leaked too apparently. No Rashnaldo :( hopefully he gets a FUTMAS

Dembele Pos switch for Yev

[SincereTheRebel]

I have about 20 gold sterlings and UCL sterlings combined. Fuck.

That would make sense.

Until 1 today

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

ST Salah, yes.

[Gray Fox]

I and probably Yev too, would bloody love that Dembele as a red. The 3 Ultra desirables in the TOTW I'm counting out, because that isn't happening.

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17412/Raheem%20Sterling/

The card looks good until you look under the hood at the shooting. He's about 260k right now which seems decent. Not sure anyone who did POTM Hazard will be in on this one though.

[Danny]

At RW I would have grabbed the loan and tested it. At LW it’s not worth paying that to replace untradeable UCL Sane with.

[SincereTheRebel]

Too many LW options in the prem league compared to the right side

LW
93 Hazard
88 Aleix
88 Sterling
87 Sane
87 Mane
82 Felipe Anderson
86 Willian
85 Martial
85 Son

RW
89 Salah
87 Mahrewz
86 Lucas
86 Sterling

[Yevrah]

Bang on Fox. If I get red Dembele I'll be well happy.

I'm tempted by Sterling, but really only because of the price as I don't think he'd be much better than the untradeable Son I have on the left currently.

[Danny]

The comparison reflects well for Sterling to UCL Son reflects well for Sterling. Cost, 5* WF, height and fitness trait though...

https://www.futbin.com/19/compare/17412/519

[Yevrah]

I've only got the standard Son, but he's a proper beast.

[SincereTheRebel]

FUTBIN tells me my club value is around 4 million. I cant see how it is possible though. I cant see where all this value comes from.

[Gray Fox]

So this Sterling randomly dropping on a Wednesday leads me to believe FUTMAS and Reus, if not more will be on Friday.

Would I be mad to stock up on Illarramendi? He's 84 rated and very handy to link with, with his position and nationality. He's 4.5k now and was between 7k and 9k last time 84 rateds were in big demand. I'm talking selling off someone like Pogba and spending all of that on picking 100 of him up.

People who are better than me at this, help :p

EDIT: My other thought was to buy up 86 Muller in bulk to prepare for FUTMAS and also maybe cover 2POTM Reus.

[Yevrah]

What I'd say is that at some point the players you mention will increase in price, it's just how long you want to hold them for and whether you'd rather have the coins to use elsewhere.

[Danny]

Discussion on reddit seems to have FUTMAS coming Friday.

That’s a good should, I went thought and picked up a few of each of the cheap 84 and 83s. He should be a safe bet.

[Boom-Boom-18]

I think something big on Friday is coming. The last remaining icon set is due to finish and they have (IMO) been trying to drain the market over the past week with the SBC's they have released.

Player prices are dirt cheap at the moment (big players) - My teams total value has dropped 400K in around a week.

Gutted I didn't invest all of my money (500K) into 84 rated Dembele / Cesc cards last week when they dropped to 4K, both going for 6.5K. When I spotted these players at 4K I had already purchased 50 Kompany cards which I have just sold for 2K profit on each, not as much as I was hoping for but I didn't want to wait any longer.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How much do you guys think that Salah's price will settle at?

[Boom-Boom-18]

I reckon around 800K.

[Yevrah]

I think I will do Sterling after all. You get 210k's worth of packs back and it's possible the card will get a winter upgrade.

[Boom-Boom-18]

How do winter upgrades work?

If his base card goes from 85 to 86 for example will his 88 go to 89?

Like you, the packs are swaying me towards doing it. I already have Hazard (NIF) but I believe this card will suit me better. I have played against his 86 a few times and he is rapid.

[Danny]

https://www.futbin.com/news/articles/54/Rating+Refresh

Edit in practice from last year

https://www.futbin.com/news/articles/55/Ratings+Refresh+-+Premier+League+%26+Serie+A

[Yevrah]

Yep, works exactly like that.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Thanks, it makes it an easy decision to do Sterling.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Check your binders if you have the Guangzhou (Silver rare CSL badge) because they go for 4.4k on PS4.

[Yevrah]

Been hitting the UCL upgrade packs and now have 70 packs stored up in total. I'll get another 7-11 packs tomorrow depending on where I finish in Division Rivals, so as soon as 83s and 84s are in demand and I can clear my trade pile there's going to be the mother of all pack opening streams.

[Yevrah]

Did Sterling. Cost me about 100k in players I needed to buy and cleared a fair bit of the club out.

I'm going to do the packs tomorrow night, from 8pm. Could be a long one.

[SincereTheRebel]

How much do you guys think that Salah's price will settle at?
750 i reckon

[Yevrah]

Player Picks.

First Pick: Sidnei, Delaney, Charles.
Second Pick: Tarkowski, Bruno Fernandes, Donnarumma.

Quite happy with that.

EDIT: Up to 95 packs as well. I'll do Marquee Matchups to make it 100 (replacing any silver packs from that with a couple of gold upgrade ones) and open the packs from 8.

[The Merse]

Until 1 today

Still will be anyway. The POtM doesn’t go out of packs, because you can’t pack them.

[The Merse]

Disappointing player picks

Pick 1 - Dembele, GK Donarumma, Tarkowski, Delaney
Pick 2 - Striker Donarumma, Farfan, Dembele, Ochoa

Annoyingly I’d have liked GK Donarumma, so had I known I’d get a choice of Dembele in pick 2 I’d have grabbed him with the first pick.

From the packs, much better - Miranda, Immobile, TOTGS Lo Celso

Leaves me on just shy of 700k with a fuckton of 83-90’s ready for SBCs over Xmas.

[Yevrah]

Is it confirmed that the Team of the Group stage players available from the two player upgrade packs?

[thommo]

That Delaney looks quality Yev, you planning on using him?

Got my Player Pack and rewards to open later tonight, once home from work. Still need 6 wins with an Italian scorer for the TOTT Parolo - Rivals really does bring out the wankers online though. The more I was playing last night, the more I could feel myself attempting to abuse the mechanics just to get the win, and it wasn't enjoyable at all really. Weekend League has actually been a real breath of fresh air for me so far for this iteration. Unfortunately, the Parolo would be a direct upgrade for my Serie A team so I feel compelled to continue with the objective.

[Yevrah]

I’ve got a bit of a German second string so I’ll be giving him a bash yes. Things might be significantly shaped by what I pull in tonight’s pack opening though as a fair number of the 100 packs are untradeables.

[Danny]

Still will be anyway. The POtM doesn’t go out of packs, because you can’t pack them.

Ah yeah, duh!

[five time]

Picked up a few German/Bundesliga in forms ahead of the POTM Reus announcement. I'll only be doing it if it lets you use a special Reus card, but if it's anything like the Sancho hype I should be looking at good profit.

[SincereTheRebel]

For my player picks i got Kante and Ghoulan which is amazing. Kante goes straight into my prem team.

I know have Ghoulan 84 and Szchesknee 87 collecting dust in my club. I may need to rethink and reshuffle my team around to get them in. Koudabaily looks fantastic this year but that would leave Szchesknee on 7 chem. Does that matter on GK?

[Danny]

Kante :drool: you lucky sob

[Yevrah]

Indeed. Getting an end game player as a red would be amazing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck you Sincere.

[The Merse]

Seriously, fuck you Sincere.

[Yevrah]

Streaming now.

https://mixer.com/Chemical_Locust

Pack opening at 8.

[Yevrah]

Used potm Sterling for the first time, off the bench in a squad battles game with basic chem.

Scored one and was a constant nuisance. Absolutely rapid. Gonna start him with a Sniper in the next one.

[Gray Fox]

I concur with the fuck you sentiment.

Mata and GK Donnarumma as my reds. Only other choosable option was Sidnei, which was a massive shame. I've not much use for either than hoping FUTmas needs these reds.

Got a massive troll pack of my 100ks and got Higuain. It also had TOTW Zapata in there. Other pack had nothing of value. Kept all 82 and up and binned the rest straight off.
Took untradeable rewards from Rivals to get 2 x Rare Gold Pack and 2 x Rare Players Pack. I got an untradeable TOTW Delaney from the former and back-to-back walkouts in the latter. First was Verratti which is a bit meh, but the 2nd was Douglas Costa.

I can't really complain too much I guess. I've got a decent little stash in the club incase of sudden SBC. I don't think I'll be able to add anyone into the team this week though. Maybe I'm best investing the 200k ish I have spare. Kind of dont know what to do really.

[Yevrah]

Anyone invested for Reus' potential potm?

[thommo]

Claimed all my rewards and I've already done this weeks MM's from crap in the club. 15 packs stored up to do in a bit, but I already went for the player pick. Compared to others, I had a decent selection - Dembele, GK Donnarumma and Mata. Took Dembele as Yev raves about his regular card. With IF Carvajal and IF Dembele as my first two player picks over the past 2 weeks, I could have the makings of a decent La Liga team for rotation. Hopefully some of the other packs will be kind to me also.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, Demebele is the nuts. I don't think I'll get this version as it's not enough of an upgrade to his UCL card for me to sacrifice the record I have with that one, but if he gets another IF I'll be absolutely all over it.

[Yevrah]

Right, packs at 19:30 now if anyone's about.

https://mixer.com/Chemical_Locust

101 to open, with one silver pack from MM's in there somewhere.

No idea what to expect, but an Icon or one of the better TOTGS players would be nice.

Oh and I'm going to recycle golds that won't sell for much into the upgrade packs so it might take a while to get through them all. :drool:

[Gray Fox]

Anyone invested for Reus' potential potm?

Not but I want to. This card could well be 90 rated. Considering the 4*/4*, fantastic shooting and passing, pace is decent already. All this revision needs is a little bump in pace and some much needed Stamina. I like Reus both in game and life too, so I'd love to own it even if I'd struggle to fit him in.

Are you planning any investments?

[SincereTheRebel]

Kante :drool: you lucky sob


Fuck you Sincere.


Seriously, fuck you Sincere.

Its about time has ive been rewarded. A million coins player for free. Finished gold three. Needed three wins from four games but I didn't finish.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Trying to grind for your first WL is a bit of a bitch. Is there any way to earn more qualification points or do I just need to play more rivals games?

Also, Salah keeps rising ffs. Undercut like motherfuckers you bitches.

[SincereTheRebel]

What chem style on Kante? Ive had a backbone on his gold card which improves his passing and defending. He has 69 shooting and sometimes finds himself in shooting positions. It's not worth improving his shooting is it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's too low to even both tbh. I'd want him to get better at what he's good at.

Playing him as CDM or CM?

At CDM I'd keep the backbone for sure.

[SincereTheRebel]

It's too low to even both tbh. I'd want him to get better at what he's good at.

At CDM I'd keep the backbone for sure.

I play a 4231 narrow with two CDMs. Backbone has worked well with the gold card. I may just try sentinal.

[Yevrah]

These packs are dogshit so far. :moop:

[Yevrah]

IF Kramaric has trolled me twice.

[Yevrah]

UCL Alaba is the first useable player from over 70 packs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Been working on my timed finishing today.

So much better at it now and I'm scoring more goals now.

Kroos, Sanchez, Lingard and Aguero are brilliant at timed finesse shots.

[Yevrah]

The pack weight of those shitty Europa League players is definitely greater than 1.7%.

[Gray Fox]

That Sterling looks a lot of fun from what I've seen of him. Anyone fancy helping get him in my team? :D

EDIT: Saying that, to get him in on full chemistry is pretty easy. But it means absolutely getting rid of Neymar and probably Griezmann too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Draxler the best pull from my MM packs :(

[Yevrah]

All packs done and nothing of note pulled. I won't be saving that many again, it was a right fucking slog.

On the plus side I pulled a lot of 83s and 84s, a few IFs and have put 400 players back in the club.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Salah ST's price keeps rising (1.4m now, fuck me) so I've given up on my original plan. This has also come about because I really like the Alexis card so I've gone with this:

https://i.imgur.com/WFz6yd1.jpg

Will switch in game to a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow with Fabinho at CDM, Aguero and Sanchez up top with Salah (now a maestro chem) just behind.

It does feel wrong having two Liverpool players in the team and now actively wanting them to go far in the Champions League though :\

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

First game in rivals and the guy rages quits after 15 minutes.

Goal from Kroos and a rebound tap in from Salah.

Edit: Second game and I drew 1-1. However, I was by far the better player and had more chances but I was struggling with ever so slight lag which really hampered my ability to use timed finishes. Fabinho was ridiculous, he's everywhere and reminds me a lot of Vieira last year.

[thommo]

So after getting IF Dembele in the player pick, I've just opened up the rest of the packs I had put by from rewards and a few SBCs. I've actually some decent pack luck tonight, packing the following: Isco, Verratti, Subasic, IF Frantz, Tolisso, Goretzka, Benzema, Malcom, Martial and Mandzukic, along with a ton of untradeable 81/82s across some top leagues, which is always helpful for league and future SBCs. Time to push for the Parolo and get some Rivals wins.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Third and final rivals game of the night and it was a good/mental one:

https://i.imgur.com/mm9SthZ.jpg

6-3 with the first and final 10 minutes being batshit.

These two were my favourite:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sday_2rC71o

By far my best timed finish, it just came off so sweetly.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYoOuP80TVk

I just loved my vision to see that this could be on and then the perfectly weighted pass from Lingard.

I think the guy was playing on ultra attacking from the start because my defence were all over the place at times and the space I was able to get was obscene. I think I could have hit 10 (as could he probably) if I could finish better.

[The Merse]

Its about time has ive been rewarded. A million coins player for free. Finished gold three. Needed three wins from four games but I didn't finish.

About time? I’ve registered c. 100 gold finishes and the best I have to show for it is this years Felipe Anderson in terms of red cards!

[The Merse]

What chem style on Kante? Ive had a backbone on his gold card which improves his passing and defending. He has 69 shooting and sometimes finds himself in shooting positions. It's not worth improving his shooting is it?

I would, as if play him box to box. I’d stick a deadeye on him.

[Danny]

No special Reus requirement

[The Merse]

Need to find a way to fit this Reus in. Maybe even as 2nd half sub for Talisca. He's batshit.

[Yevrah]

That's some nice profit on my Kroos'.

[Gray Fox]

Saw the card. Really wanted the card. Checked the price of the card. Nearly threw up.

800k are you serious?

[Danny]

I need to check the profit on the Hummels I have been hoarding :drool:

[Gray Fox]

There's no even a cheap shortcut for anyone who did the first one. And the loan card alone is 40k to do! :panda:

I'm picking up a UCL Renato Sanches now. 6pm will be the first update since the group stages finished. There'll likely be 3 FUTMAS SBCs so if he's not upped, I'll just sell it back if anything is worth doing.

I reckon we'll get a striker Son at some point, but watch them give him literally zero upgrade other than position change. My only hope is all these useless FUTchamps reds are needed for something.

[Yevrah]

Scrap that on Kroos, he's only up to 46k.

[Danny]

6 prime icon sbcs coming during FUTMAS according to Castro's stream :|

[Danny]

82 Torreira, 84 Zaha and 86 Gomez.

Ballack and Sol SBC's

No ICON needed for Sol.

Josef Martinez in weekly objectives - Win 6 online singles games with 11 MLS player. What in the actual fuck?


Zaha - 84 team with 1 TOTW or Red player.
Torreira - 83 no IF.
Gomez - 84 - 2 TOTW or RTTF.

[Gray Fox]

That's a lot of content to drop at once. I feel my not picking up all those Muller may be about to backfire.

[thommo]

That Gomez looks quality. I already use the 84 in my Serie A side so would love the upgrade.

Finally completed the objective for Parolo at the last second. Came out of the game (won it 4-3 after being 3-1 down), and all the new weekly objectives were showing so I thought I'd fucked up. A quick re-entry into Ultimate Team and there he was. Nice little upgrade in the middle, his long shots look incredible too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No icons needed for them?

I had a quick look so I might have missed it.

[Gray Fox]

You need an Icon for Ballack, not for Campbell though.

[Yevrah]

How much is that Campbell, the top end squads must make it cost just as much, no?

[Gray Fox]

Holy amazing supersub, Batman!

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17441/Mart%C3%ADnez/

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Holy amazing supersub, Batman!

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17441/Mart%C3%ADnez/

I've never got on with any of his cards. They look amazing, I get slaughtered on the few times I run into them but he does nothing for me.

[Gray Fox]

How much is that Campbell, the top end squads must make it cost just as much, no?

My reckoning is it'll come out just under or above a million for him. Probably a little bit more than it would cost to buy him, but you get packs back.

[Gray Fox]

Yevrah

Early FUTBIN markers have this down to be about 750k.

[Danny]

Holy amazing supersub, Batman!

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17441/Mart%C3%ADnez/

Card looks great but those requirements :sick:

[Gray Fox]

Apparently it has to be 11 MLS players in the starting lineup too. Can't shove 7 on the bench.

Would it be possible to try and match up with a friend in single matches?


Looks set to be 1.7m for Ballack thanks to the stupid Icon requirement and 750-800k for Campbell.

[Danny]

RTTF Updates are out.

Renato Sanches up over 200k

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17229/Raheem%20Sterling/

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17237/Nacho%20Fern%C3%A1ndez/?chem=anchor&pchem=10&schem=100

He looks so damn good now.

[Trancemeister]

https://www.futbin.com/19/player/17229/Raheem%20Sterling/

Sterling has crashed on PS4.

Is that the card that only will get better if City advances further?

[Raoul Duke]

Is that the card that only will get better if City advances further?

Yeah - RTTF

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Is that the card that only will get better if City advances further?

Yep.

I sold mine for 265k the other day when I decided to buy RM Salah.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v0fpXZSx2A

I love when mongs put people on the line.

I cannot score a direct free kick to save my life so it's nice that they play everyone on for a little chip.

[The Merse]

Torreira :drool:

I can finally fit TOTGS Sokratis and RTTF Miki and Milinkovic Savic in my B team now, with Torreira and get rid of Fred. Matuidi also drops out, with the Terrier actually having +3 in games despite being -3 OVR. Those overall ratings really are bullshit.

[Danny]

i did the Torreira card. For that price why the fuck not.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah.

I think almost every card for me was an untradeable.

[Gray Fox]

I'll be doing Torreira. He's cheap, strong link to Aubameyang and is a CDM with actual decent work rates which is a rarity this year. He also can't be much worse than Pogba, who I really really can't get on with.

The FUTmas card may also get a boost to 84 rated if he gets a winter upgrade too.

[The Merse]

Yeh the upgrade was a part of it for me too. If there’s any justice, he’ll be upgraded to an 82 base card at least, so his FUTmas should benefit. Ridiculously rounded with a deadeye.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://i.imgur.com/YZ7ERKA.jpg

:eyemouth:

[Gray Fox]

Get rid of Smalling and that's fantastic.

Torreira done, but disappointingly Pogba only sold for 340. He's crashing down towards 300k now(xbox). However the FUTmas card was only 25k so not a bad cost wise replacement and frees up coins for tonights offering.

A few matches the other night saw that POTM Sterling absolutely rinse my Marcelo over and over again. It has me seriously tempted to do his SBC. But my team is in a bit of a mess trying to fit everyone in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Smalling is genuinely a rock tbh.

Although I'll be picking up SIF Van Dijk soon. I just need to sell a bit more.

[Gray Fox]

Van Dijk is the great wall of Holland on legs.

[Rich407]

I've been getting massively into Fifa this year after getting fed up of PES and really enjoying it. I've been following this thread with interest and staggered how some of you have accrued so much but I did leave it until mid November to get the game.

Quick question - do you guys put all your money into one starting 11 then use fitness cards or do you have a fitness team? I guess if regularly doing the BPM then using fitness cards is viable.

[Gray Fox]

If you put some good investment into BPM you can use the individual fitness cards to help move things along.

It depends on your coin balance really. If you've got cheap teams, you might as well have 2. It also keeps the coins coming in and not being wasted on fitness cards. If you have a lot, you're likely to have expensive players. For example I have Neymar. I want to use him every game as I've paid 650k for him. And if you've got the coin for expensive guys, you have them for fitness too.

I'd say another squad for now, but fitness cards when you are happy with your team.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Van Dijk is the great wall of Holland on legs.

I wanted UCL Live Davinson but he wouldn't be on full chem.

Although he won't get a boost.

[The Merse]

I've been getting massively into Fifa this year after getting fed up of PES and really enjoying it. I've been following this thread with interest and staggered how some of you have accrued so much but I did leave it until mid November to get the game.

Quick question - do you guys put all your money into one starting 11 then use fitness cards or do you have a fitness team? I guess if regularly doing the BPM then using fitness cards is viable.

Normally I play 2 squads until sometime around Futmas when I cut down to 1 squad and fitness cards. This year I’m doing it a little differently as I have a) less WL games to play b) a lot more midweek games (not just 4 or 5 DKO like last couple of years). So, I’ve got 2 squads for Div Rivals, of which one gets a lot more investment and is also my WL squad.

I’d say it’s a 75-25 split in terms of value of those sides. Should I get an icon or two they’ll likely be in both squads, with my mountain of individual fitness cards I have (800 or so) there to keep them fit whilst rotating the rest in DR and using team fitness in FUt Champs (been sat on c 100 for months - that’ll deplete more the pre-order packs have run out but SBCs do keep them well topped up).

[The Merse]

I wanted UCL Live Davinson but he wouldn't be on full chem.

Although he won't get a boost.

Are either De Gea or Nacho untradeable?

If not, you could go Varane-Lloris-Sanchez

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not getting rid of De Gea or Nacho. I can't see Sanchez getting another upgrade anyway.

Edit: Just my phone or is the image tiny as fuck?

[Trancemeister]

Tiny.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well it's same as above but with SIF Van Dijk in place of Smalling.

[Gray Fox]

Doumbia, Wass and Rashford. Meh.

[Danny]

FUTMAS 84 Rashford
FUTMAS 84 Wass
FUTMAS 81 Doumbia

I want Rashford but 2 x IF/OTW and 85 rated is a bit crazy.

[Gray Fox]

For an 84 rated card? What have they been smoking?

[Danny]

Right. He is going to be good because his card always feels smooth but christ.

[Gray Fox]

FUTBIN early offerings are about 175k for him.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, that's mental.

The requirements for an 81 Doumbia are wacky as well.

[Danny]

56 Stamina on him too :lol:

[Yevrah]

Are we still on 7 swap deals players?

EDIT: I see 2 have been added to weekly objectives. Including a fucking hateful French league scorers one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rashford would be a great sub but those requirements suck.

[Gray Fox]

What annoys me is that Wass allows you to use FUT Champs reds, whereas Rashford does not. What would be the harm?

[Danny]

I did him. Fuck it. I have the coins. I used a lot of pack pulled players and some untradeables but had to buy one IF.

I loved his 84 last year it was great card in its own right and I would have used it more if I didnt have various IF'/TOTS of Son.

[Rich407]

The Merse and Gray Fox - thanks for your response.

Was keen on Rashford but not at the price, if he'd been a ST Id have considered it between POTM Sterling and POTM Sancho, seems like a missed opportunity.

[Yevrah]

Haven't started my weekend league games yet and I'm wishing I hadn't redeemed entry now.

[Gray Fox]

Spot the issue.

https://i.gyazo.com/4c9eb8b241e90e43eb4ac16f1bb4c3cf.jpg

[Boom-Boom-18]

Torreira is a little gem. I have Kante alongside him and he performs just as well.

Rashford's price seems to have settled at 140K. I would have paid that for an ST card but considering the LM / LW / LF options (as highlighted in the image above) it isn't worth it. Shame because his standard card performed very well for me in the early days of the game.

[thommo]

I've done the same as you Yev. Redeemed my Weekend League qualification, but only managed my first game now. And I wish I hadn't have bothered, came up against a finesse shot spammer using a baby Henry, and various POTM cards. Lost 3-2 and each one was a carbon copy, just from varying distances and always a perfectly timed shot. Enraging, and I don't know if I can be fucked to carry on from this point.

[Gray Fox]

Add me to the redeemed and regretting list. I'm going to try and get to 11 at some point, but meh if I don't.

[The Merse]

Same here. Played 3 games today, feeling somewhat CBA but also mindful the Mrs will be pissed off if I spend more than a couple of hours on it tomorrow alongside watching the football as she's having a very needy weekend. Still, I'll chance my arm.

[SincereTheRebel]

You need to play 5 gamed to get ranked. If you dont play those 5 games, you should be able to un-reedem your fut champ qualification. You should also be able to redeem your fut champs at any point during the week. You have to stategicly plan your weekend around fut champs.

[Rich407]

Jesus worth investing in?

[Yevrah]

Got fucked 7-0 in my first game to a super team.

My heart's not in this at all. I don't have the mental energy to expend to do this two weekends in a row.

[Yevrah]

0-7, 3-4 & 3-4 and that's it.

Felt like everyone I played could cut through me at will.

[Yevrah]

Which game mode is that Martinez objective tied to?

I assumed it was the online single match mode, but there are loads of people referring to being in Division 2 and 3 and having to do it against super teams.

[Gray Fox]

I played well into last night whilst in truth mainly watching the NFL, but committed to 15 games just in case it went well. 11-4 after those. Not too shabby but played well further than I should in one sitting.

I've also knocked 2 games off the MLS challenge. The good news is you only have to start 11 MLS players. I subbed Neymar, Mbappe and Griezmann straight on in them.


EDIT: Yevrah it is online single matches.

[Yevrah]

I wouldn't have bothered with him, but the fact he has 99 agility and balance makes it a must.

[SincereTheRebel]

I can't put myself through objectives like that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Finally got a chance to play a game this weekend with my new squad ans it's brilliant. I thought Smalling was great but Van Dijk is another level, Scholes though is beautiful and scored two goals on his debut:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5tq3qQ4-Zk


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rahj04q5l28

His shooting is nutty and it's brilliant to have someone in midfield with 94 stamina.

[Boom-Boom-18]

Has anyone done the Rashford SBC? Any thoughts?

Tempted to do it.

[SincereTheRebel]

Spoilt for choice for LW prem league players. I havent done him and I will not be.

[Yevrah]

Played my first MLS game and won it 3-1. The lag though. Fuck me. :sick:

[thommo]

Currently 4-4 in the Weekend League. But that includes probably my most satisfying comeback ever in a FIFA game.

I was matched against a Bundesliga team, and the opponent was very high-tempo with his passing, but clinical when he created a chance. As a result, I was 3-0 down at the break due to a Timo Werner hat trick. With nothing to lose, I brought on loan Mertens and my new Futmas Wass and shifted to attacking. 3 goals in 5 in-game minutes (Dani Alves screamer, Wass with a rebound and a Mertens volley) came out of nowhere to bring me level, before one of my best passing moves led to Tolisso tapping in for the lead. I sealed the deal with Mertens slotting in a 5th 10 minutes from the end, after some more good build-up play with Wass.

Genuinely buzzed after that win, and a bit more motivated to push to 11 wins tonight.

[Boom-Boom-18]

FUTMas Firmino. I love his NIF so this is a must for me.

This promo is brilliant.

[Yevrah]

160k (if it settles at that) for Firmino is a bargain.

[Boom-Boom-18]

It's a steal, fantastic card.

[Gray Fox]

Oh lord hold me.

[Yevrah]

I mean.

https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/100148353/sbc

That's all that's needed. :chief:

[Boom-Boom-18]

https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/100148515/sbc

145K

[Boom-Boom-18]

Ignore that, prices have risen drastically and they haven't updated.

Struggling to do this.

[Yevrah]

How much are we looking at now?

[John]

Now we're talking. That Firmino might be enough to get me back in the room, and I'm fairly sure I could do it with things I already have in the club.

[Danny]

How much are we looking at now?

FUTBIN saying 160 ish. I will be doing it.

That Zakaria looks like a fun little card too but I wont be doing it as I have a few cards of that ilk I am never going use

[The Merse]

Danny I was tempted by Zakaria as I loved his NIF during early access. As evident in his stats, only his shooting is lacking, but too a truly woeful ‘miss from 5 yds’ Degree.

I’m torn on Firmino. I can do him, very easily, and he could displace Talisca but it’d drop chem on someone else and/or replace Kroos with him at CM whilst retaining full chem.

[Yevrah]

Kroos is now up to 59k, so closing in on 200k profit.

[Yevrah]

I’m 2 out of 2 on the Martinez objective as well. I really should have thought this weekend through better and done that and the Ligue 1 futswap one today, given they both must be easier while weekend league is going on.

[The Merse]

Sat down at 7 to get some games done tonight having managed just 4-4 in my two small stints on Friday and this morning. Have won 9 on the bounce, with a few rage quits expediting proceedings. It’s going to be another Sunday night where I have to choose between functioning early doors at work and pushing for Gold 1/Elite 3 on this form.

Really enjoying myself still though, and each time Talisca tears someone apart I doubt myself doing Firmino a little more.

Regardless, I’m convinced I’ll end up Danny Ings as my best red on Thursday morning.

[Gray Fox]

Finished up the Martinez objective earlier but not got to use his card yet.

I had been thinking about going back to an EPL side as I wanted to try out Hazard and De Bruyne. However as a Liverpool fan I'm not sure I can just ignore that Firmino. Looking elsewhere that Sterling SBC is as cheap as it has ever been right now.

I might play a few more games tonight, but it'll be mainly just to mess around. It's so much better playing this game when you don't care about the result.

[Danny]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/a6orst/futmas_player_sbc_schedule/

[The Merse]

Tapped out at 17-4 again after a 13 game winning run. Faced a fuckton of supersub Martinez’s and he looks scary as fuck.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking game.

I just opened a pack.

IF French CM thinking it's Kante but no, fucking Abdoulaye Toure.

[Yevrah]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/a6orst/futmas_player_sbc_schedule/

Credit to EA where it's due, that's a very interesting way to do it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Casemiro in my SB rewards.

Not too shabby.

[thommo]

Had a bit of a marathon session this evening whilst watching the NFL, and dragged myself to 11-9 for Silver 1. Definitely could feel some fatigue setting in towards the end, but was helped a bit by opponents who clearly couldn't be arsed fighting back from a few goals down and quit early.

Came up against Martinez twice, he seemed electric and was very hard to stop. Someone scored a beauty with him too. Could be a super-sub of choice in the next few weeks, but I don't know if I personally can be arsed with the objective for him.

[Yevrah]

It's not that bad, I think mainly because it's not in division rivals.

I've played 6 games and am 4-1-1 so far.

Also just bought 88 Matthaus for 835k.

[thommo]

I might put together a squad tomorrow evening and see how the first few games go. He would be perfect for the last 30 minutes - at the moment I've just got a loan Aubameyang left on the bench as an option for the end of the game.

Presume you'll move him to CDM in game? He still looks very good for CB but the height and jumping would worry me. Having said that, I've used Azpilicueta and it was never really a major weakness.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Welcome to club icon.

It's a beautiful place.

[Yevrah]

I'll be swapping him with Guilavogui in game and very much playing him in midfield.

[Yevrah]

Did Firmino and Zakaria as well. If the latter could head he'd be a right bargain.

[Gray Fox]

I look at Zakaria and wonder how the fuck it's an 81 rated card. Still haven't decided if I should do Bobby or not, but I'll have to make my mind up by midday tomorrow due to work.

Hopped on and won 6 of 7 games to take me to 17-4. I could go for the 6 wins from 9 needed for Elite, but I'm not staying up to miss out on the last game again. Martinez is mad. 99 for Agility and Balance means you can dance around defenders, especially late on and they can only really stop you if the defender gets a proper hand on.

[Rich407]

Pulled SIF Cancelo in my SB rewards! :D

Really wanted to do that Martinez objective but doubt i'll have the time to play enough matches to get 6 wins.


EDIT: Also word of warning, if you see the difference between FUTMAS Firmino and his CL card, I'm not sure the difference is worth the price, add on top of that he's untradeable. Just a heads up.

[The Merse]

Fucking game.

I just opened a pack.

IF French CM thinking it's Kante but no, fucking Abdoulaye Toure.

I was looking at that card the other day. How the hell its even a gold I don’t know. Compare with the 81 rated Zakaria for a laugh.

[The Merse]

I did Firmino in the end. Not 100% on whether it’s to replace FUTMAS Torreira in the B Team or Paulinho/Kroos or Talisca in the first team. H/H means he can play CM with a backbone... I’ll work it out. For now, he should help me get that Shadow card from the weekly objectives, which I need for Sokratis.

[five time]

Zakaria is a 91 rated CB or 89 CDM with a sentinel. Mental.

Worse links than Guilavogui as he's Swiss but if you're playing Bundesliga they're both insane.

Not sure I can justify Firmino but he's very good value also.

[five time]

Are there any other players that are highly rated when changing positions?

Just looked at Javi Martinez who gets a 93 rating at CB as well.

[SincereTheRebel]

Champiosn League draw

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich
Ajax vs Real Madrid
Roma vs Porto
Lyon vs Barcelona
Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund
Manchester United vs PSG
Atletico Madrid vs Juventus
Schalke vs Manchester City



Based on the champ league draw, I bought three Nacho 86 for 107k before the draw and he is at 127k now and ive bought one Renato Sanches for 175k afte the draw. He was over 200k before Munich drew Liverpool.

[The Merse]

‘Mon Porto. Telles as an 88 would see me through to the end, links permitting. Mikhi and Milinkovic Savic’s upgrades have been pretty nice too, so I see them as the bedrock of the B Team, and pushing for the A team for the rest of the game too. Between the three of them, they could be TOTS standard by Feb.

Lazio have a tough one vs Sevilla, but Arsenal are almost guaranteed to go through against BATE.
For the Tah owners out there, Krasnodar should up him to 87.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Based on the champ league draw, I bought three Nacho 86 for 107k before the draw and he is at 127k now and ive bought one Renato Sanches for 175k afte the draw. He was over 200k before Munich drew Liverpool.
I can see my Fabinho and Nacho getting upgrades.

Renato, Alexis and Lingard are fucked.

[SincereTheRebel]

That Bayern team are super profesisonal. They have an average age of about 39. I dont expsect Liverpool to steam roll over them. Its Liverpool we are talking about remember. They also fail when it matters the most.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bayern are shit this year.

[Yevrah]

Disappointing Futmas players today.

[Danny]

Yep. Won’t be touching any of them. Which is going to be nice for the coin balance :lol:

[Yevrah]

The rating requirements are totally borked as well.

Which tempts me to do Iniesta for future SBC use.

[Boom-Boom-18]

These FUTMas cards are so aesthetically pleasing.

[The Merse]

The rating requirements are totally borked as well.

Which tempts me to do Iniesta for future SBC use.

Why?

The requirements are based on attractiveness - not just an OVR, but the associated * ratings, league and nation. In the case of Iniesta, Spain isn't used much high up the pitch this year and Jap 1 is clearly an abysmal league to link, plus he's only a +1.

I considered doing it for SBC's too, but 84 is still too high for an 88 purely for SBCs.

[The Merse]

One game into the Road to Martinez.
Lost 4-3 after some guy brought on Prime Cruyff who scored 4 goals. I had 18 shots to his 5 ffs.

[Yevrah]

Why?

The requirements are based on attractiveness - not just an OVR, but the associated * ratings, league and nation. In the case of Iniesta, Spain isn't used much high up the pitch this year and Jap 1 is clearly an abysmal league to link, plus he's only a +1.

I considered doing it for SBC's too, but 84 is still too high for an 88 purely for SBCs.

Yep, scrap that. All of the cards today are a complete shambles. EDIT: But Iniesta's 87 is a desireable SBC card as you can just surround it by La Liga Spaniards.

Finished Martinez. Only took me 8 games and using Ibrahimovic was great fun. I suspect the Ligue 1 Futswap objective for Division Rivals is going to be much more of a pain in the arse.

[The Merse]

Mbappe is my second most prolific striker and Lalla is my penalty specialist, so I’m hoping that sails by.

Martinez is a fucker. The NIF I mean... I’m using him too of course, but he’s ripping me a new one in opposition.

[The Merse]

3-6 in pursuit of Martinez whilst being 3-0 in Rivals. I just can't adjust to the shitness of this team.

[Yevrah]

My new fitness side:

Delaney is a red one.

[Yevrah]

3-6 in pursuit of Martinez whilst being 3-0 in Rivals. I just can't adjust to the shitness of this team.

Who are you subbing on?

I just thought fuck it and went 3-5-2 with a ridiculously high line. Piatti on the right, Alessandrini on the left. Ibrahimovic at CAM, Giovinici and Aubameyang up top (obviously bringing on the latter) and Schweinsteiger and Pogba holding.

Dembele would come on after 60 minutes to mop up with fresh legs.

[Yevrah]

First attempt at the Ligue 1 objective and I'm facing a side with 8 icons in it.

Fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Eight? Pissing hell.

That's obscene.

[Yevrah]

I'm 1-0 down at half time. He has prime Van Der Sar in goal who is catching everything, fucking catching.

[The Merse]

Who are you subbing on?

Mbappe at Striker, Firmino at CM and Felipe Anderson at CAM.

Looks like this after formation switching -
http://oi67.tinypic.com/15nnlvt.jpg

The issues are two-fold in that a) my defenders can't position or tackle for shit b) everyone is going gung-ho for the win and piling forward in numbers with POTM Reus scything through my defence.

Did you do yours at the weekend? Guessing it's also tougher for the same reason Rivals is tougher in the week vs the weekend, in that there's no Fut Champs to distract most of the decent players.

[Yevrah]

I lost in the 92nd minute 2-1. For fuck's sake.

EA, you shower of arse. I've toiled hard over weeks to get to Division 5 and your two shitty futswap objectives where I've had to play a bollocks team will now see me relegated.

[Yevrah]

I did do it over the weekend Merse. Bizarrely I was facing players with red cards though.

Seriously, go all out attack. Everyone you face will have wank defenders.

[The Merse]

I'm up to 4 wins, but again - another mental hare em' scare em' 6-5 loss followed. It's fucking bonkers. Quite fun with the play styles, but completely unbalanced and unsettling.

[Yevrah]

3-2 down in my second game and I'm playing some cunt who keeps pausing it.

This is amazing.

EDIT: That's 3 pauses in a row now. One straight after the other. There must be a limit, surely?

EDIT 2: 4-2 loss, to go 0-2. One more and I'm getting relegated.

Memphis Depay is just not up to this.

[The Merse]

I've just given up for tonight. I've added 14 losses to my record. I've quit a game before the end 5 times. I only recall doing that twice before this Fifa.

Fucking raging at my ineptitude.

[Yevrah]

Drew the 3rd game having hit the post twice in the dying seconds to snatch the win, but a rage quit at 3-0 up after 54 minutes sees my fist win, with Dani Alves getting the required holiday camp league goal.

Gives me a two (ish) game relegation cushion again as well.

[Yevrah]

Finished the night at 2-2-3, but still in Division 5.

Seriously, EA are fucking morons for making you do an objective in a competitive mode with squad pre-requisites that if you don't happen to meet put you on the backfoot massively before you've even started. It's only going to get harder as teams get better as well.

[Gray Fox]

I seriously dislike the 'score with X and win in rivals' challenges. The divisions are super competitive enough due to the way they work without you having to gimp your team to get these.
Luckily I give zero shits about Gamerio so I haven't been keeping up with this. I might be able to cobble together enough for Kurzawa, but if not, I'll take Lerma.

I now have regret on not doing Firmino, but I still insist the upgrade was minimal for an extra 120k on his normal card. Hopefully patience is rewarded by there being a striker or at least RW Son today. He'd be a lovely 86 version too. Though knowing EA it will be a LW card and 86 to add to the mountain of EPL LW available along with a minimal upgrade and also cost 300k.

[Yevrah]

Something big would be nice. I need to cash in on my Kroos’ 60k is the target.

Hard to say for definite as well due to doing that shitty objective, but not sure Matthaus is worth the 800k tied up in him.

[SincereTheRebel]

I said it a while ago, we need a casual game mode online. From what ive read, they used to have silver and gold cups with strict restrctions in relation to players. That sounds super fun.

[Gray Fox]

Seasons used to be casual and to an extent to were the daily knockout tournaments. The exception with the latter being when they implemented a reward player or something for winning the tournament.

The problem you have now is there's no mode to test stuff out or have a fun team. I don't do many skills, but I could build a team of 5* skill guys to give it a whirl. Nah m8, have a team full of meta and icons as your opponent and he still only wants to finesse from the edge of the area.

There's also no real way to earn coins between Thursdays. You get your lump sum and them off you go again for a week.

[SincereTheRebel]

You have online singles match but the connections with the game mode are awful and people just leave the game when they see your team or once they are losing 1-0. All the team and players should be hidden like it is in rivals and fut champs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Was struggling with my custom tactics as my team were all over the place defensively. Even against the AI on legendary who weren't bugging me at all on previous tactics so I changed again.

An easy 5-0 win and could have been more.

Switching Fabinho from the default cover wing (why is that the default, it's shit?) to cover middle was a huge help. Just didn't allow much room in the middle for long shots and it was actually stopping my full backs from pretending to be centre backs. Hopefully it also transitions across nicely in rivals.

[Danny]

Fucking Sonaldo LM. Triggered.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Son :drool:

Sadly, I don't think I'll bother though as I like Alexis too much.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

86 with 2 TOTW/OTW is a bit of a bitch.

[Yevrah]

Saracchi - Looked at the face stats and thought meh, then looked at the card a bit more and thought he's got some nice stats in the right areas. Then saw the requirements. An 84 rated squad with an IF? Are you shitting me?

Son - 200k+ for what are mostly uplifts of 1's and 2's. No thanks.

Rigoni - His stats are too bang average in all areas other than pace so it's pointless. 65k as well. Fucking hell.

Rui Costa - For circa 700k and the packs back I might do him.

[bruhnaldo]

Rui Costa - For circa 700k and the packs back I might do him.

My buddy had him at one point and didn't get on with him at all. CAnnot recall why or which buddy of mine though but i'll try and find out.

[Yevrah]

A draw to kick off tonight's Ligue Un bollocks. I'm now 2-3-3. Did I say I hate this?

[Boom-Boom-18]

Fucking Sonaldo LM. Triggered.

I fully expected him to be an ST card. Very frustrating because I would have been all over it.

LM/LW/LF BPL options are mad.

[Yevrah]

I'm now 13 games into this absolute bollocks, I still haven't done it and I haven't enjoyed a single match of the 13 I've played.

They break down as 3 wins with Ligue 1 players scoring, 2 wins without Ligue 1 players scoring (both rage quits that more than likely would have seen me do it had they not fucked the games off when I was 2-0 up), 3 draws and 5 losses.

This is the worst thing in the game for me at the moment, by a country mile.

[Gray Fox]

Well, shit. I knew they'd make him a LW and I'm still disappointed. That leaves me with a decision to make. I was most likely going to do Sterling, but I don't think I can justify 2 untradeable cards at LW from the same league.

That Rui Costa is a big tempter. 700k looks like with some decent packs in return. Actually looks a quality CAM with good size and strength and most importantly stamina. I'm not sure if I'm just drawn in because he's an Icon or not though.

[Danny]

If you are only doing one of them it has to be Son imo.

[Gray Fox]

Problem is if I do either I pretty much have to replace Neymar in my team.

[The Merse]

Tempted by Costa. I never used him last year but he was a mainstay of so many teams and I can do him out of the club easily enough.

Chalked up another win on the Road to Martinez getting in half-cut. The second opponent of the night however turned up not with an MLS squad, but a FUT Champs mega team, but titled 'Free Win MLS'. Having given away free wins a few times myself, I took it in good faith. The guy scored 3 on me with Neymar. First time I've sent a message to an opponent in a while... There's no need or advantage to turning up in Singles with that team aside from being a trolling prick.aå

[The Merse]

Saracchi - Looked at the face stats and thought meh, then looked at the card a bit more and thought he's got some nice stats in the right areas. Then saw the requirements. An 84 rated squad with an IF? Are you shitting me?



He's basically Jordi Alba though.

In a league with a chronic shortage of viable LB's.

[The Merse]

Finished the challenge so now selling up the expensive MLS players I bought in. Looks like a loss of around 10k will be the price of Martinez, that and my sanity.

Good deal.

[Gray Fox]

Would definitely advise doing any challenges like this again during prime WL hours. I did it all Saturday/Sunday and really didn't have any problems. He's an absolutely mental card though.

Trying to play about getting Son into the team. His nationality is making anything like that difficult though.

[Yevrah]

He's basically Jordi Alba though.

In a league with a chronic shortage of viable LB's.

He costs what, twice as much as Alaba?

[SincereTheRebel]

The whole point of promos is too give us players in postions that lack depth or qualily. usually most leagues suffer from poor LB, RB and CDM with good work rates. I like that LB card, but it is too expensive for what it is.

[SincereTheRebel]

Im hoping they give us a FUTMAS KDB on Christmas day as belgium are the number one ranked in the world.

[Yevrah]

15 games now....

This is absolutely ridiculous.

[thommo]

Won my first two single matches last night in the hunt for Martinez. Both opponents instantly paused and did all 3 subs, but neither of them brought on world-beaters so I decided to stick with my starting XI and see how I went.

First game, 2-0 up in 20 mins and he rage quit. Second match, a 3-2 win in extra time, with a 117th minute Giovinco free kick sealing it.

Whilst the Futswap objective sounds awful, as it demands it to be done in Rivals, I've certainly changed my tune with regards to the MLS objective. By playing with this squad, I'm using players I would never dream of, and discovering that some of them actually aren't bad at all to use - Andre Horta being a prime example.

[SincereTheRebel]

15 games now....

This is absolutely ridiculous.

What challenege is this? The Martinez one? If so, i saw it and would have liked to do it, but fuck that right off.

[Yevrah]

I've done it. 18 long games.

EDIT: The Futswap one with 4 Ligue 1 scoring wins.

I don't have any good attacking Ligue 1 players, so it was a monstrous ballache. Martinez in comparison was a breeze.

[SincereTheRebel]

Who is the best prem league target man. Ive used Gold Kane and he was OK and now im using IF Lukakku and he plays a lot better but both are not strong enough. Even If i hold L2 and the defender is behind me, they can get the ball via a tackle.

[Gray Fox]

I've decided against Son. 210k for another LW when there are plenty of tradeable options and also Sterling, just seems a bad idea. Had you been able to use FUT Champs reds in these I'd be all in for it, but they're pretty much useless without that. I'd take him as super sub, but I now have Martinez, red 87 Mahrez, Mane and Hazard on my bench which really takes care of the attacking needs. I'll revisit Son if he gets a TOTW or striker item.

Rui Costa looks very interesting, but my want to get Hazard into the team would put pay to him. His price point is still very appealing though and 350k worth of packs back could well earn you a chunk of that back. What it has done is it has sent the price of the useless/unwanted Icons tumbling. You'd be lucky to get any Icon for 750k last week and now they are down around 600k.
It also gives hope of giving these out at a more reasonable price point. Yes you may not have 700k on you to do it in one, but with 30 days to do it, you can slowly tick off the mini SBCs through the month.

[Yevrah]

Just did Son. Ultimately I couldn't resist. Cost about 210k, of which 160k I already had in the club.

[thommo]

https://i.postimg.cc/pr3r3C9Q/totw.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

The red possibilities :nodd:

[SincereTheRebel]

I didnt play champs this week. I should have. Based on the form im on, I would have got 91 red and gold Greizeman to match my 90 red and gold Kante.

[bruhnaldo]

Being off work all next week has me :drool: at the possibilities of grinding for coins.

[Danny]

Bruma 82 CAM, Khedira 87 and Lacazette 86

Prime Keane! Same requirements as Rui Costa. Christ that’s a tempter.

[The Merse]

Totw is ok. Griezmann or Fabinho would have a shot at getting in a side, Jesus too (let's not even acknowledge Messi)

Might do Khedira... Maybe.

Nice to see Keane released and cheap-ish as well (factoring in the packs coming back). I'll keep holding out though - plenty of time to pick a starter Icon but Keane looks the most usable of those released not requiring an Icon up to now.

I need to do that Roy Keane.

Apparently Rivaldo and Crespo are the other SBCs coming during futmas.

Wijnaldum from my Jumbo rare player pack.

:(

Would have been nice for more to help me out with the others.

damn i'd love to get prime Keane i wonder how bad the requirements are

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

700kish.

Bronze rare squad, silver rare squad, gold squad (2 TOTW, 9 rare), 83 rated (1 TOTW), 84 rated (2 TOTW), 85 rated (2 TOTW), 86 rated (1 TOTW) and 87 rated.

I need to do the 83, 84, 85 and 86.

I did the Keane loan and can rock this for the purchase of Pogba and Lloris.

Prime Keane is very tempting, is there a quick way of working out the average coins expected back from the packs without any big pulls?

I am gutted I didn't do the Zaha FUTMas card. His standard card is still the second best BPL striker I have used (Aubameyang being the best).

I'd tear any of your arms off for that Fabinho red. Also if any of you get Messi or Griezmann red, fuck you in advance :p

I was not expecting another Icon today. Good to see EA have listened a little. It's almost exactly what I've been looking for too. I've been using Torreira as my other CDM but it just doesn't quite work with him and Kante together. I need someone with a little physical presence in there. Torreira is very good for his price, but lack of height and muscle is his let down.

Rijkaard looks perfect for what I want, but I don't think we'll get him yet. For once I might do a loan card and see how it goes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

85 and 86 to go. My coin balance is fucked right now though, need to sell shit.

Gotten fuck all in packs thus far.
