:drool:

[bruhnaldo]

Sick.

[Danny]

De Gea
OTW AWB
OTW Maguire
Baby Rio
Shaw
Keane (Loan)
Pogba
FB Rooney
James
Ighalo
92 Giggs

Also have:

FUTMAS Rashford (main stiker most of the year to messing with Ighalo)
PIM Scholes (keep throwing him up to try get a nibble and make profit)
Best (Loan)
FB Mata
FB Sanchez
EOAE Schweinsteiger
SS Mkhitaryan


Cant wait to unlock this Fred card

[Raoul Duke]

Do you have Chong as well? I really like his Scream card

[Danny]

I forgot about him. Him and Smalldini are on the reserves.

[SincereTheRebel]

Open my WL rewards and got rubbish. Then I went to check the TOTW and its awful. They have the complete freedom to do whatever they like now football is cancelled, and the TOTW moments is embarrassing. I really do wonder what their thoughts are about picking madness like this?

[Gray Fox]

Basically they have no idea what to do. They could re-release some TOTY for example but then there's going to be less interest in TOTS cards.

[Raoul Duke]

They should re-release all the SBCs so I could do the ones I missed :moop:

[Raoul Duke]

For anyone doing Bellarabi: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/ftmprq/bellarabi_politano_cross_objective_bug_solved/


Here is the bug in two objective from past week even some of my friends marked the same issue with bellarabi cross objective lob cross, double-tap cross, low driven cross nothing get a count. two days I tried every cross method nothing ll work. then I changed cross into assisted in controller settings, here before I used semi but there is a bug.. if you change into assisted then cross ll get on the count. if you have a cross bug then try this thank you.

Not tried it myself.

[SincereTheRebel]

They should re-release all the SBCs so I could do the ones I missed :moop:

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Everyone gets to pick an SBC they missed and they could do it again

[Raoul Duke]

Untradeable duplicate Wijnaldum from the Moscow SBC :moop:

[Yevrah]

Another crash from a cross. FFS.

[Danny]

Lloris from the FUT 13 SBC.

[Yevrah]

Vertonghen for me.

Pack luck has generally been awful since packing Roberto Carlos, that's probably my best since.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

From the FUT SBC I got:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUoYPYtXYAAyUSH?format=jpg

Not sure why the card is all weird but still.

Edit: What a screenshot that is.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Best I got from MM packs was Morata. Fuck all else.

Edit: Oh and a 6k Mallorca Silver and a 3k Benfica one.

[Yevrah]

I bought him as he looks good.

I haven't broken the first owner rule yet, but I am slowly stockpiling players I will use eventually.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I just got battered by some guy in Rivals because every was going against me. My players were all over the place defensively despite him being one of the worst players I've come up against in the game.

All the stats were in his favour but I genuinely have no idea how he won.

Game crashed though at 4-0 because he scored a headed cross.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Redemption in the next game though.

Some guy scored in the 50th minute and gave it the whole celebration/replay.

Had to give him similar when I made it 3-1 in the 80th minute with him instantly pausing to rage quit.

[John]

Another set of Birthday players who largely already have special versions. Bale is particularly egregious, as this is the third promotion he's appeared in, and the second in about three weeks.

Cordoba looks like an absolute bull though. Sniper card on him and you've got Moments Drogba with better dribbling, probably for about a fiver. Bakayoko can also fuck right off.

[Gray Fox]

I need to get on this, this weekend. At present my goal would be to work my way to a TOTS team of a "lesser" league, for example Portugal or The Netherlands. Looks like I picked a bad time to start though.

They seem to have been using the same 20-30 players in promotions for about 3 years now. There's only so many Renato Sanches, Martial and Bale one can take.

[Danny]

Yeah its bollocks. Usual suspects.

Done most of the Cordoba using the glitch while working. Going to start on Bakayoko in a bit by getting Pogba into my Ligue 1 team. Last icon swaps I care for so I will double down on it.

[Raoul Duke]

Cordoba looks like an absolute bull though. Sniper card on him and you've got Moments Drogba with better dribbling, probably for about a fiver. Bakayoko can also fuck right off.

Yep, he looks lovely and I still need to do the Bundesliga FO thing for Icon Swaps, so great timing for me.

[SincereTheRebel]

Yeah its bollocks. Usual suspects.

Done most of the Cordoba using the glitch while working. Going to start on Bakayoko in a bit by getting Pogba into my Ligue 1 team. Last icon swaps I care for so I will double down on it.

What glitch?

[Danny]

The squad battles AFK one

[SincereTheRebel]

Pogba
Lasagne
Douglas Costa

Are all extinct. Lacazette may join them.

[Raoul Duke]

Done Cordoba.

I'm only 20k XP away from Fred :cab:

[Danny]

2 of the 4* 4* wins away from completing Bakayoko.

Once I complete that and the two remaining week 5 objectives I will be about 9k away with pretty much nothing left to play for until they add more.

Not bothering with WL this time since my bonus picks were dogshit last time and they are picking terrible TOTWs


Edit: My loan icon pack had Schmeichel, Lehmann and Desailly in it ffs. I took Pete.

[Yevrah]

Packed another Icon. A moments this time.

Sadly it was Gattuso

[Danny]

Tradeable?

Looks good with an Engine or Catalyst on him.

[Yevrah]

Was indeed tradeable. Did 6 of the league SBC's last night and opened the packs today.

Packed Son too so if I sell I should be up to about 2m coins.

Did Taraabt with fodder and about to open the mid icon pack now.

[Yevrah]

Mid Guardiola. :nono:

[Danny]

Dont you already have him? Baby though right?

[Yevrah]

Yep. Have his 85.

About the worst card I could have got.

[Danny]

Bit bored today so heres my squads for the main leagues/objectives:



Main team

All but Pogba untradeable. Toying with that Lampard I packed in there. My CAM position is been trouble for a while but I get to use this team so little I rotate it around.


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



Ligue Un

All untradeable. Aouar is wasted out there and I am not sure what to do with this team really. Bakayoko is about to come in too


https://i.imgur.com/4D9Ylbn.jpg



Bundesliga

All but Werner and Havertz First Owner/untradeable. Bellarabi bailed me out. I had TOTYN Sancho and Base Gnaby as my wide options and I wasnt really a fan of either.


https://i.imgur.com/JNmyLbb.png



Serie A

All First Owner/untradeable. Got Mertens (and ofc Ramsey) the other week and havent used him online yet. I had 86 Zapata up there previously. You wouldnt know Hernandez is base gold. Very solid.


https://i.imgur.com/zdgPiCV.png



La Liga

All First Owner/untradeable. I have Carlos on the bench but I dont have a good LB option so Telles is the chosen one. He used to link to Casemiro for full chem until Odegaard happened.


https://i.imgur.com/zdgPiCV.png



I then have like half squads for the Eredivise/Holland and Liga Nos with some decent players but not enough.


https://i.imgur.com/h3TYz5J.png




https://i.imgur.com/AvNVtFU.png

[Danny]

That Bibabiany objective is downright insulting.

[John]

That's an obscene card. He'll be unplayable.

[Yevrah]

I'm in two minds.

He's not great to link and 3 star weak foot is a bit crap. But put a Sniper on him and he'll destroy people on his right foot.

[Danny]

For me he isnt a whole lot better than Kent and for silly coins

[John]

He won't be as good as Kent. That five star weak foot is a bit part of what makes Kent so hard to deal with.

[Danny]

:nod:

Kinda why I said it was so bad and I dont even use Kent. I stick to Dan James because of the United bias.

[thommo]

Was working on Bakayoko and finished off my 9th Icon Swaps token, so went for the Prime Icon Pack there and then...


Fucking Vieri. :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

[Raoul Duke]

I'm sorry for your loss

[Yevrah]

I'm gonna take Maradona from Iconswaps as things stand. Pairing him with Messi is too tempting to take my chances on the Prime Icon pack. Especially given getting Guardiola from the mid icon one yesterday.

Battered through the Sudamericana again this morning and stuck Bustos and a load of crap in the club into Biabiany.

[Yevrah]

Gattuso just gone for 510k, taking me to 2,003,980 coins. Things are going nicely at the moment.

[Yevrah]

That Party Bag SBC is genuinely disgusting.

[Danny]

How hard would it be to make it an 84? Just give people something

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's quickly getting more expensive than like the top 5% most expensive players.

[Danny]

As if Vertonghen is 50k...

Also doubled my money on my 86 Werner I had for my Bundesliga side. Will pick him up when this shit settles again.

[Trancemeister]

This is just insane. Any 85+ basically sells for max price. 200k made in a minute.

[Danny]

Bakayoko is in. I packed a duplicate untradeable Muller from the completionist objective. Chucked into quick sell for now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Those bronze and silver player packs are obscene.

[Yevrah]

ly expensive?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

12 bronze players for 1800 coins is brilliant value.

Also, yes the silver packs are priced highly but they're still good value. I've gotten some big players from them.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, I'll be doing all 30. I wasn't sure from how you worded it.

[Yevrah]

What's today's update about? It's nearly 5GB and I can't see anything about it online.

[Raoul Duke]

What's today's update about? It's nearly 5GB and I can't see anything about it online.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/fwhgz5/update_is_out_on_console/

[Raoul Duke]

This Flashback Esswein or Gervinho actually seems alright. Can't really see either pulling up too many trees but they're not bad squads to pad out FO teams for fairly cheap

[Yevrah]

Quite like the look of Gervinho and I have nothing at LM/LW for my Serie A side.

[Raoul Duke]

I've got Douglas Costa and Sanchez, so I'll probably pick up the German guy. Don't really need either really though

[thommo]

Gervinho for me too I think. Bellarabi looks miles better at RW if I choose to play with wingers in a Bundesliga side, and I have nothing really for the left side on the Serie A. I have 3 squads left to potentially complete SBC Verdi but Brescia is still going to cost me an arm and a leg to get that done.

[Danny]

I have Bellarabi on my Bundesliga side and Sanchez in my Serie A.

If I do it I think I will do Esswein. Anyone do the party bag? Very tempted by that one just for something to do.

[Danny]

Picked up Muller (3rd time in about a week) and Onana from todays packs. At least this Muller was tradeable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Two 83's in the new SBC :moop:

[Trancemeister]

Got Marcelo from the FUT 18.

[Raoul Duke]

Got Cordoba from the TOTW upgrade :moop:

[Danny]

Esswein on 7 chem seems like a better option than base Goretzka

https://www.futbin.com/20/compare/24248/48053?chem=catalyst,powerhouse&pchem=10,7&schem=100,100

Would just have to see what Chem style I want to use to get the best out of him

[Yevrah]

Made some good coinage from these SBC's.

[Yevrah]

Another 4GB update?

[Raoul Duke]

Apparently it fixes the crossing issue: https://www.fifaultimateteam.it/en/fifa-20-patch-1-19-released-on-ps4-and-xbox-title-update-15/


A stability issue in FIFA Ulltimate Team related to an AI Teammate interfering with the ball’s trajectory, resulting in a goal. ( This TU addresses reported stability issues in situations such as crossing. )

[Yevrah]

Cheers Raoul.

Why they couldn't just say "it fixes the game crashing when you score a header from a cross" is beyond me.

[Raoul Duke]

5* Nick Pope is out :drool:

[Danny]

100% doing that. Something fun

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That is great tbh.

[Trancemeister]

Sold Rijkaard for 609k. He's slow, can't shoot, can't pass. Fuck him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just lost 5-3 against someone I should have beaten purely because every time I tackled him he'd retain the ball.

[Yevrah]

This might be a dumb question, but what is the point of a 5 star GK?

[Danny]

List of valuable players from reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/fxumvg/psa_check_these_clubs_for_valuable_players/



Yevrah, there isnt any. Its just bit of fun for the FB promo.

[Yevrah]

258 XP away from Fred.

Need to do Gervinho and Pope too, but they can wait until tomorrow. Might do Sancho too as his TOTS will be expensive and it'd be nice to get a special card of his.

[Danny]

I am like 2k away. Easy tomorrow.

Still tempted by Bruno. I have a massive stack of crap in the club that could rattle off the two 87s with and that gets him under 400k.

[Raoul Duke]

I'm about 14k from Fred but still have a load of the Gold things to tick off from last week and this one. Should get me close and then will finish it up next week.

I took the German winger instead of Gervinho. He's a pretty solid all-rounder. Just wish I'd did Akanji/Hummels and my Bundesliga team would be decent.

[Danny]

I am like 2k away. Easy tomorrow.

Still tempted by Bruno. I have a massive stack of crap in the club that could rattle off the two 87s with and that gets him under 400k.

And he went up 150k this morning.... :cab:

[Yevrah]

First and probably last FUT Birthday card packed.

Was doing the Bundesliga milestone to put the 86 into Pope, finished the 2 goals one and out popped Lemar from a Two Player Pack.

[Yevrah]

Verstraete's upgrade done, just leaving Trossard to do. Not looking forward to that.

Pope and Gervinho in as well. Loads of consumables sold so up to 2.2m now.

[Danny]

If anyone on PS wants to cheese those friendly objectives by quitting on each other let me know. I really don’t want to play 21 friendly games.

[Yevrah]

Likewise on Xbox.

[Yevrah]

That FUT20 SBC is scandalous.

[Danny]

I’ll still end up doing it though :moop:

Purely because I have a bunch of shitty untradeable TOTWs

Manolas looks very good.

[Trancemeister]

Oh FFS. UCL Messi from the FUT20. Untradable and I already got the POTM Messi. Damn you EA.

[Raoul Duke]

If anyone on PS wants to cheese those friendly objectives by quitting on each other let me know. I really don’t want to play 21 friendly games.

I'm down for that. Won't be on tonight but am pretty much around all weekend. What's your PSN ID thing?

[Yevrah]

Did the FUT20 mostly with untradeables (I still hate myself) and packed Muller.

[Danny]

I'm down for that. Won't be on tonight but am pretty much around all weekend. What's your PSN ID thing?

dannybecks7.

I should be around most of the weekend.

[Danny]

Did the FUT20 mostly with untradeables (I still hate myself) and packed Muller.

I forgot about the brick slot. I was up for doing it until I realized its really an 84. If I pack a decent dupe over the next two days ill do it.

Also played one SB game and got in Fred and my loan icon (Owen Larsson and Makelele - Picked Owen)

[Danny]

Might have to stagger the objective thing.....

https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/fyl817/psa_if_youre_farming_the_100k_pack_obj_with_a/

People being kicked after 15games

[Yevrah]

Party Bag done chucking 4 League SBC 88's in and got Correa.

Massive bust on both then. I'd have been much better served doing Manolas. Got 5 days to grind for him though, so was probably worth rolling the dice.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd also be down for the PS4 objective thingy.

[Raoul Duke]

Might have to stagger the objective thing.....

https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/fyl817/psa_if_youre_farming_the_100k_pack_obj_with_a/

People being kicked after 15games

Dang. Sounds like if you just play a friendly against the AI it can reset though :sherlock:

[Danny]

I'd also be down for the PS4 objective thingy.

If you are around tonight we can do a few.

We can then work around bans to get everyones done :nod:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah I'll be around later.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also that "ban" also happens if you quit out too much from Rivals when self-relegating.

Usually sorts itself out after about 30-60 minutes. Sometimes quicker if you turn your PS4 off/disconnect then re-connect to the internet.

[Danny]

This is why EA dont give us nice things but its going to be so rife on EA that it not like us not doing it would make any difference.

[Raoul Duke]

Did the FUT 20 SBC and got CL Coutinho. Not exactly life-changing but slots into my Germany side in place of Perisic who is bobbins.

[Danny]

Did the FUT20 mostly with untradeables (I still hate myself) and packed Muller.

Isco. I hate myself.

[Yevrah]

Manolas in, courtesy of more league SBC's.

Packed Sule and Sancho from the Premium Gold Players pack too, which was nice.

[Yevrah]

Isco. I hate myself.

EA really did excel themselves with that SBC.

[Yevrah]

And they've excelled themselves again with Hulk.

Just so poor.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did the Party Bag with untradeables and got Muniain.

He's worth a little less than the SBC's Futbin value but he looks pretty damn good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

David De Gea from my 86+

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

MM Packs:

TOTWM Illicic and Lucas Leiva as my 83+s.

[Raoul Duke]

Got Chielini from the mega pack, not much else

[Yevrah]

Er lads...

[Danny]

Fuck off. R9 or Gullit calling it.

[Yevrah]

Not quite that good.

Although it is remarkable given the pack I got it from and the source of said pack.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Spill.

[Yevrah]

https://youtu.be/ZjnGbDHf418

[Yevrah]

I'm also going to play with opening all packs between 1 and 5 am now. I'm convinced you get better pulls.

[Danny]

Jesus. What’s he at 1.4m? Madness.

[Yevrah]

Jesus. What’s he at 1.4m? Madness.

1.2m on Xbox, but mine's obviously untradeable. But with a Sniper or a Deadeye and his 5/5 he looks insane.

I've been doing the daily objectives for ages since they fixed being able to do it in offline friendlies, load up a game, score a goal and do something else, and that's a (shit) Shapeshifter and a FUT Birthday from them now.

[Danny]

I really should do more of them. Hows he going to fit?

[Yevrah]

I'm just fucking around with that now. It's difficult.

I'm still first owner and plan on staying so until TOTS, when the sheet weight of options and cheap price of cards means I'll happily abort it at that point.

I'll stick a team up shortly, but I think I need to whack all of my good players into a list and see what you chaps can make of it. I'm crap at team building.

[Yevrah]

As for opening packs in the middle of the night, I'm convinced they put a limit on the number of great players that can be pulled at any one time period, which is why the streamers can rattle through thousands of pounds of points at prime time and get fuck all.

[Yevrah]

When I get Maradona in two weeks I could do this:

https://i.postimg.cc/pXv1yF9M/New-Team.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Does only have 96 chemistry though. Would go 3-5-2 in game.

[Danny]

Who are you playing at center back in that?

You could get Sandro (for Barella) in shift it around to start and get 100 chem.

[Yevrah]

Roberto Carlos, Moore and Kante at CB.

What formation would that be in?

[Danny]

4-3-3.

Ter Stegen
ASM
Moore
Carlos
Sandro
Kante
KDB
Ronaldo
Messi
Maradona
Gervinho


Zidane Prem gets it to 100 with KDB on 8, Carlos on 6 and ASM on 7.

[Yevrah]

Cheers Danny.

[Danny]

Yep. That’s a mental team. Messi on full chem in that new set up too :drool:

[Yevrah]

Jonathan Tah from the Rare Jumbo Gold Players Pack. :nono:

[Danny]

Is that the rivals/Sb one? I am a few games into that one.

Need to graft some friendlies tomorrow.

[Yevrah]

The friendlies one.

Knew it would be shit after packing ASM though.

[Trancemeister]

How do I change the difficulty in FUT friendlies?

Edit / Never mind found it out. A bitch to play these on legendary.

[Danny]

Sir Andy Mahowry Raoul Duke

Ill be around today. I wont be showing online though. Just let me know if you want to rattle through some.


Score 3 King of the Hill
Score 3 Mystery Ball
Assist 3 in Max Chemistry
Score 3 Headers and Volleys
Assist 3 in Survival
Score 3 in Long Range
Play 3 Swaps

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've just gone online to do some SBC's so send me an invite whenever you're on.

[Yevrah]

ASM is brilliant and I only have him on 7 chem.

[Danny]

I've just gone online to do some SBC's so send me an invite whenever you're on.

Let me know if you got that completed. It wont have counted for me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I didn't check.

I'll quit out of this one though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The first match did count, yeah.

[Danny]

That didnt count for me. Maybe I have to score it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Count that time?

Should be 2-1 then.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I have my 3 now.

[Danny]

Yeah it did. Not sure what was worse there. Pogba's walking it into his own net or Giggs attempt with his right foot :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Aren't you only at 2 for King of the Hill?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Osimhen wanted to one up Giggs' effort :face:

[Danny]

I am on 2 for that but figured we can just keep trading and moving on. This shit is going to kick us long before we can finish it anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That Fred attempt is the worst yet.

[Danny]

Disgraceful. I am actually going to have to start passing it anyway as assists are next up for Max Chem.

[Danny]

I got completely booted. Did it count?

Edit: Got full booted after you quit too so looks like its time to take a break from it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not sure.

I got booted though so we're done.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It will probably boot you from any game for a while so I wouldn't suggest doing any Rivals or FUT Champs.

[Danny]

That latest party bag might have me suckerd in....

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I will be doing it.

Would love a Greenwood, Rashford or one of the BIG cards obviously.

[Danny]

Cancelo from mine. About the pack price so not too bad.

[Trancemeister]

84 Nandez. Feel like throwing the damn PS4 out the window.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ikone.

Thought it was a crap pull until I saw his price.

[Danny]

My ban is cleared so I am down to do some more friendlies if anyone is on.

[Raoul Duke]

84 Nandez. Feel like throwing the damn PS4 out the window.

RIP


Ikone.

Thought it was a crap pull until I saw his price.

He looks mega - would have loved to have picked him up.

I got Muniain - looks like a great card overall and I have a cracking La Liga squad

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I got Muniain in the last one.

Haven't used him yet though.

Ikone is nice as well because my first owner Ligue 1 side is shocking.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My ban is cleared so I am down to do some more friendlies if anyone is on.

I'm around.

[Danny]

I'm around.

Sending in a second.

I am 1 into Max Chem (finished KOTH to test if I was still banned).

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm 2 into Max chem.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Booted.

[Danny]

Banned again :D

I didnt think we were going to make it through that tbh. 6 to go later on.

[Yevrah]

I'll be doing that party bag too. Forgoing Sancho, but have enough to buy his TOTS so fuck it.

[Raoul Duke]

Banned again :D

I didnt think we were going to make it through that tbh. 6 to go later on.

I read on Reddit that you just need to let the inactivity timer wind down for one player for it to not count as a quit

[Yevrah]

Hateboer from my Party Bag. About as bad as it could have been.

EDIT: How in the fuck is he worth as much if not more than the pack?

EDIT2: I guess he makes for a decent DM.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Because he's the only good Serie A RB?

His price has been rising a lot recently though. He was 120k or so at the end of February.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also, in addition to pulling the FFS Ikone I also polished off the Ligue 1 SBC to bring Cyprien in so my Ligue 1 midfield is looking good. The rest of the team is a shambles though.

[Raoul Duke]

Finished off Storyline Fred today and got Pope for the lulz. My squad is pretty empty now, although I did nab Benzema (CF?) from a cheeky upgrade pack this morning.

[John]

I got Werner in a pack last night and as a result have just done the Bundesliga swap player in its entirety in 35 minutes. He's obscene. Four games, seventeen goals. :D

[Yevrah]

He is obscene, isn't he.

I packed him a while pack and would have kept him until the game's end, but his price went through the roof so I cashed in.

[Danny]

Thirded :nod:

I sold him when prices skyrocketed but once I need to use my Bundesliga team again he will he bought back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Starting the pack hoarding for TOTS today.

Did quite a few league SBC's including finishing up Serie A.

Also, it would be nice if they'd add the Sudamericana and Libertadores leagues into the console search.

[Danny]

That Fuchs card looks like an absolute monster. I have no real use for him though.

[Raoul Duke]

Shite stamina though

[Yevrah]

Play him at CB with a Guardian or Shadow and he's an end game card.

It's tempting, but I'm trying to get Sancho done by grinding SBC's so I may give him a miss.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shame the servers have been shitting the bed all day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuchs looks brilliant bar the shocking stamina.

Far too expensive considering he'll be breathing out of his arse by half time.

Edit: EA are being dicks and really fucking their whole "STAY AND PLAY" shit.

[Danny]

I saw someone recommend having him and SS Alaba swap in game.

[Yevrah]

When picking Gervinho I completely forgot about Verdi from the Serie A SBC, so wish I'd gone for Esswein now. :moop:

[thommo]

When picking Gervinho I completely forgot about Verdi from the Serie A SBC, so wish I'd gone for Esswein now. :moop:

I was in the same boat, but Bellarabi is just miles better thanks to the WF and skill moves on the right flank for a Bundesliga side, so Gervinho seemed the solid pick.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, I could have played Esswein on 7 chem from CM though. Annoying.

Was happy with all of my choices of players and SBC's I did up to now. Well, apart from Hulk's 1st one way back when, as he is bilge.

[Raoul Duke]

Stick one of them at fullback? I have Hakimi there in my BuLi team and he's pretty solid on 7 chem.

[Danny]

Yeah, I could have played Esswein on 7 chem from CM though. Annoying.

Was happy with all of my choices of players and SBC's I did up to now. Well, apart from Hulk's 1st one way back when, as he is bilge.

Thats what I am doing right now. He went into my squad over Gold Goretzka.


Edit: A shadow was the best thing I packed this morning.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just MM today, ugh.

STAY AND PLAY!!!!!

[Yevrah]

Another bad value SBC, a shitty pack for playing 8 games with a team I don't want to play with and a half decent Premier League SBC.

What a bollocks.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They're really doing a properly shit job of this.

People are playing more than ever and they're actively being pushed to other games because EA are useless.

[Raoul Duke]

Got a load of absolute mince in the Prem SBC. The La Liga one I can at least do while combining with the remaining friendly games I have to finish.

[Yevrah]

Been trying to finish off the last league Milestone player I have to do, Trossard. Crosses are such a cunt. 4/7, but would be 6 if I hadn't lost two to a disconnection.

[Danny]

I have checked the web app but havent bothered booting the game. Not much to stay and play for really.

[Yevrah]

Fuchs in courtesy of the SBC grind.

He looks a monster CB and he slots perfectly into my Prem team at LB to move him there in game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I have checked the web app but havent bothered booting the game. Not much to stay and play for really.

Since we did some of the objectives I've only turned it on to sit in 3 swaps matches (I still need to do the long range ones) and that's it.

I should finish the Ligue 1 Icon Swaps but I just can't be bothered at the moment.

[Yevrah]

As I have Bobby Carlos, I'm now thinking about doing Miranda.

Just need to grind the Sud/Lib three times and another SBC or two.

[Trancemeister]

Did Fuchs and packed Son from one of the packs. Shame it was a few days too late for that TOTW card that goes for a million. Sold for 122k which is more than I paid for what I had to buy to do the sbc. Up to 1,6m now in coins.

[Yevrah]

Miranda in. Bit threadbare on the SBC cards now and the Lib is costing quite a bit. Had to resort to ditching doing the main leagues to keep the coins flowing.

[Danny]

Love that flashback SBC. Wish it was repeatable though.

Fabio gets me a special United LB but I would love to get Rafael in too.

[Raoul Duke]

Love that flashback SBC. Wish it was repeatable though.

Fabio gets me a special United LB but I would love to get Rafael in too.

Yeah, would love them both. Torn between which to get. Need the LB more really but I think the RB is the better card.

They've been pushing Brazilian's at us a lot recently - wonder if it's worth stocking up on them for next Season, like they did with the Japanese players :sherlock:

[Danny]

I looked at it more and Rafael is better than Shaw on 7 anyway. So I am going to do him.

I think we already had Brazil for the nations thing.

[Yevrah]

Doing the CSL, I've just picked up this card for 800 coins. Only available one on Xbox is listed for 14k.

https://www.futbin.com/20/player/20162/fernandinho

[Raoul Duke]

This insistence on putting TOTW players into SBCs makes them far more expensive than they need to be :moop:

[Yevrah]

83 + TOTW for a card that woudn't get into anyone's fifth team is a piss take.

[Raoul Duke]

He'd be ok for a sub/SBC if it was just 83s but sticking an extra 10k on the price for nothing is balls

[Danny]

I have a bunch of useless 81s IFs so will probably do it.

[Yevrah]

Look at what you have in your clubs, look at what we're about to get from TOTSSF, look at his WF and work rates. He should have been an 82 rated squad.

[John]

Even releasing that card is just about the most craven thing EA have done in a long time, so it's no surprise they've made it cost too much. Every other special release, however stupid, has at least had some sort of logic behind it. That thing is essentially a fictional player, a step and a half above To Madeira, because the kid on it hasn't really showed anything to suggest he's going to reach that sort of level in reality. He's got a good card in FIFA for being good at FIFA, it's fractal bullshit.

[Yevrah]

How does he even have a bronze card?

[John]

How does he even have a bronze card?

He's played twenty odd games for Copenhagen.

[Yevrah]

How much are you playing John and what team are you rocking?

Club 'tours' from everyone else would be welcome. I might pull a template together.

[Raoul Duke]

My current First Team squad: https://imgur.com/a/Jj6ir8p

Lots of FO players in there but I'm still very undecided on whether that's actually a formation I like. I normally use 4-1-2-1-2 with wide midfielders but I have so many ace CM's I've tried to fit a few more of them in. I also wanted to use Pogba/Kante/Fred in a three.

[Yevrah]

After recycling him over and over I finally used Bustos the other day. Probably the best full back I've used.

[Raoul Duke]

Yeah, he's ace. Bit hard to link unless you go full Argie or have some Icons to bridge the gap. Absolute menace he is though.

[Danny]

Club 'tours' from everyone else would be welcome. I might pull a template together.

I did screen shots of my ‘teams’ a few pages back and then have a bunch of outliers who don’t fit :nodd:

Would love to see the shit everyone has piled up.

[Smjffy]

Has anyone watch Andre Gomes twat Reece James in the ePremier League thing? :D 8-0.

[John]

Playing it quite a lot at the moment, I've probably done several hundred games since this lockdown began.

GK - TOTWM Ter Stegen
DR - FFS Emerson
DL - Flashback Fabio
DC - Moments Sol Campbell
DC - UEL Diego Santos
DMC - Prime Essien
MC - Prime Rui Costa
MC - Prime Jari Litmanen
RW - FFS Kubo
LW - UEL Kent
ST - Prime Kluivert

[Raoul Duke]

A random question: which high-rated players can't you get on with?

Mine are Hazard and Griezmann. Struggle so much to do anything useful with them :moop:

[Yevrah]

+1 for Griezmann, just find him to be shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

+1 for Hazard.

I packed his base card fairly early on untradeable and I've tried using him many times and he just does nothing for me.

I also hate the Moments Riquelme. I ended up discarding his loan card with contracts remaining on it because I hated it so much.

[Danny]

I dont find Ben Yedder as outrageously good as people seem to say/think he is. He is good but I dont see the OMG appeal he seems to get everywhere else.

[John]

Messi, Hazard, Griezmann, any version of Varane, and the jury is very much still out on Litmanen.

[Yevrah]

Agree with Ben Yedder too. Strikers with H/H workrates are a pain in the arse. Not as bad as M/M, but still bilge.

[thommo]

I'll compile a little club tour, but it will take a while. A lot of guff and club management that I still need to get done before TOTS so I'll put something together after.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikBnB-1xBCQ

This is weird.

How can they fuck up a card so much?

[Danny]

That Sahin card looks good. 5 90 + face stats with a Shadow.

[Yevrah]

So TOTS half an hour away.

I'm gonna stay first owner for now, but will be picking cards up to use to keep me busy on this game after the new one comes.

[Trancemeister]

And the servers are down .

[Danny]

88 Toney Objective Card (squad battles or rivals)
89 Thurman (rivals based)

90 Icardi SBC (86 squad)

Objective players at highest level are 90 Gotze, Umitit and Pedro (another Chelsea and Dortmund....)

[Trancemeister]

Packed 91 Fernandinho

[Yevrah]

Pedro was in Futswaps last year. Lazy fucks. Some reasonably cool stuff there though.

[John]

That Hagi looks great fun.

[Trancemeister]

92 Lineker. What a night for me.

And that was from an electrum pack

[Danny]

Jesus Trance

[Yevrah]

Fuck me Trance.

League upgrade packs only being available for 24 hours is dogshit.

And if these players aren't basically free EA should burn in hell.


To shine a light on footballers who went above and beyond in their communities during the COVID-19 crisis, Team of the Season So Far will honour a select few. These Player Moments special player items will be released through Squad Building Challenges or Objectives.

[thommo]

Got 40 packs ready to go shortly after racing through the Turkish League and some SBCs.

92 Mitrovic! :drool: He's coming to the club no matter what, but hopefully it's a first owner version.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bought 6 45k packs with coins.

First one had TOTSSF Grimaldo and Ramos in rest of them had nothing.

[Yevrah]

Toney in.

M/M is a bit of a shitter and 3 star weak foot isn't great, but other than that he looks good.

[Yevrah]

160 packs. Albeit lots of silver.

https://mixer.com/Chemical_Locust

[Yevrah]

1st one packed. Grimaldo.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think I'm done this year tbh.

I didn't log on for almost a week until Friday to open some packs and I really don't feel like playing at all.

My arse has run out of grapes.

[Yevrah]

I'm still fighting the good fight but only because I won't be buying the next version. The reality is it just isn't that good and takes up far too much time.

[thommo]

Ended up on 52 packs which I opened earlier. 51st pack and out comes 91 TOTS Matheus Pereira. He's worth around 300k but he is untradeable so on the bench he goes for now. Would like him to replace Paulinho in my side as he genuinely looks really good, but leaves my chemistry a lot worse.

Hopefully I can eventually link him into a full Championship side (gutted I missed out on Rooney now!)

[Danny]

Combined Bundesliga, Prem (doubled down on first owner) and 3/4 of La Liga to complete Laporte and 1 French goal/assist away from Thuram.

Going to do some squad battles through the week to get Toney in.

[Yevrah]

The cost of that Watkins SBC is ridiculous.

[Danny]

Yeah I wont be going anywhere near that.

[Yevrah]

That's Thuram done. Well on my way to Laporte too. Well apart from the crosses which are 0/5. But fuck that in the ear.

[Yevrah]

5 Futswap tokens in, 3 away from Maradona now. :cool:

[Yevrah]

Laporte in.

He's probably the worst 90 rated CB you could find, but he slots nicely into my Premier League team.

[Danny]

He will replace Schar in my Prem one. So worth doing. Doesn’t get in my main though. Will remain behind VVD and Ferdinand.

Finish Thurman today so I don’t have to use Plea again.

[Yevrah]

They've done him dirty though. 90 rated overall and only 4 stats at 90 or over.

I guess the best things in life are not free.

[Yevrah]

They've actually done it.

A player moments Goretzka SBC, honouring his Coronavirus charity contribution that costs a fuckton of coins. :nono:

[thommo]

I'm glad it costs a fuckton though, otherwise I'd be seeing it everywhere in FUT Champs and Rivals. That card is obscenely good.
