2-0 start including a 9-1 and 6-0 win. Though my connection is horrible and I've had the red error thing atop my screen through most of both games. I'm now 99% sure it's my ISP. Unfortunately I'm stuck with them for a little bit longer. What's causing it is everyone is at some point through the day using a device. Sometimes it's only 1 or 2 but there are times all 5 in the house are on something, such as now.
Still, I'm starting to get used to doing the little things that can help win you a game or two more of a weekend. Defending with your CB is a big no no unless you really have to. I'm just getting that now. Using the bridge dribble also wrecked those 2 opponents. I need to do that more.
I was also thinking of a long term project. Unfortunately Cannavaro is only there for 23 days now. I was thinking Project Kaka. He'd also link Neymar in eventually when I can afford him.
There's only really 6 parts to his SBC when you think about it. With 7 weeks left I could potentially knock off a segment at a time each week and get him.

Dortmund draw. Haaland should drop.

Scoring only for the ref to bring it back for the penalty, which I subsequently missed :moop:
Thankfully Tavernier (who is amazing) scored a last minute winner to take the game 3-2.
Up to 7-2 which is my best start by far.
Sir Andy Mahowry
16-01-2021, 08:26 PM
Just played someone who scored early against me and he ran around my defenders and then watched the replay. Was quite fun to see him rage quit in the 42nd minute when I made it 5-1.
Gray Fox
16-01-2021, 10:20 PM
Realised I had an objective left not done to play a game of King of the Hill, so did that for a Gold pack, which gave enough to put into an 80+ upgrade. A nice Oblak waiting in there. I'd love to get him into the team but I don't know how to link it all.
Still I'm 7-1 now. I'd be 8-0 if not for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwrWOK-_MsM
Annoyingly I was on lates yesterday and earlies tomorrow and Monday so my play time will now have to be all of tomorrow evening. Not good for my chances of 16 wins.
Sir Andy Mahowry
17-01-2021, 01:18 AM
After starting 7-2 I thought I'd finally break the 11-8 duck.
I haven't :moop:
11-8 although I'll push for 14 at the very least.
I was going to go for 16/17 for the extra red but I've just seen that the objective red pick is for this shitty TOTW.
Sir Andy Mahowry
17-01-2021, 03:30 PM
And I've turned that into 14-8. Happy with that.
Gray Fox
17-01-2021, 04:21 PM
I'm up to 9-1 and there are some very weird teams about. I'm hoping there's no loss streak soon as I don't have a lot of time for this after the Liverpool game.
Can't wait for my pick of 81s.
Raoul Duke
17-01-2021, 06:21 PM
Did the new 82+ SBCs:
DF - Sirigu
MF - Pogba
AT - Luis Suarez (duplicate)
:thbup:
Danny
17-01-2021, 06:38 PM
Very nice. I am saving these since there is nothing special in packs.
2 wins away from Sinkgravel. Going to hammed through it quickly before McTominay gets his upgrade and can no longer come off the bench to boss it.
Yevrah
17-01-2021, 09:59 PM
Rinsed through my entire club (bar bronzes and silvers from the top 5 leagues) and I now have 50 80+ player picks for TOTY too.
If the prices of common and rare golds come down I'll do another 25 tomorrow and 25 on Tuesday to make it 100. That should take me down to about 7m coins, but I still have Tavanier and maybe Higuain to do.
Gray Fox
17-01-2021, 11:47 PM
I should really not play so many games in a sitting but I had to rush them through. Ended up 17-7. I could feel myself playing rushed but I was getting more and more tired and kept switching off to it.
I left 3 games because I went down to multiple early goals. If time were on my side I'd have stayed and fought as I always do, but it was not. It felt daft staying on 16 wins so I pushed on.
My picks were all 81 rated shit. The reds I earn next weekend though will bring me enough to do the 86+ upgrade.
Yevrah
18-01-2021, 10:41 PM
I think I'm done now.
https://i.postimg.cc/dtwQDzn2/Packs.jpg (https://postimg.cc/9zgHng60)
Tav and Higuain done, 6.9m coins left and can't open any packs until TOTY due to the stored player picks. Bring it on. :drool:

I'm expecting some marathon streams coming up then Yev.
Found WL on Sunday very tough, coming up against some solid players and lots of Neymar and Mbappe, which was not a lot of fun. Scraped my way to 11-8 and called it a night. TOTT Immobile is pretty lethal though - 24 goals and 17 assists in the 19 games with him.
I'm back working on the Icon Swaps now and last night was a real toxic mess. Two opponents left after I dragged it back to 1-1, and then I lost 6-5 to someone who had 5 shots on target to my 21 (!) mainly thanks to Nick Pope once again proving he is an utter glitch in this iteration of FIFA.
Raoul Duke

TOTY announcement confirmed for Friday: https://www.ea.com/games/fifa/fifa-21/ultimate-team/toty
Also - patch is now out on console. RIP coloured balls, ye shall not be missed
Gray Fox
19-01-2021, 12:19 PM
I’ve got Friday to Sunday off so I’ll be watching along. The past 2 times I’ve played through TOTY I’ve had Ramos. I hope that streak can keep alive.
Yevrah
19-01-2021, 01:07 PM
There will be marathon streams gents. Still guessing we won't have the full team on Friday, so not sure exactly when they'll start.
Gray Fox
19-01-2021, 06:13 PM
Decent looking Moments Kurzawa there for the Neymar/Mbappe user. A bit steep in price for my liking though.
Danny
19-01-2021, 06:17 PM
Repeatable base/mid icon SBC....
How many of those will Yev get through.
Yevrah
19-01-2021, 06:17 PM
Repeatable Base or mid icon pack for 30 days. :drool:
Sir Andy Mahowry
19-01-2021, 06:22 PM
Hadn't seen that they were repeatable.
Yev to get mid Gullit, R9, Zidane, Pele, Vieira etc etc.
Yevrah
19-01-2021, 06:31 PM
Yes please.
Based on what I packed from what I opened in 2019, I think I'll get the following this time round:
https://i.postimg.cc/q7KRmxXT/Packs.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
You're probably looking at being able to do about 10 of those at least should I wish to.

Yevrah

How are the packs looking Mahow?
Sir Andy Mahowry
20-01-2021, 01:16 AM
Touch under 260. Haven't done as much as I'd like but I finished a run through of the Saudi league before sinking resources into the upgrades.
I've got 15 PP's so far too and I'd like to get that up to at least 20.
Will also try and work through some select league SBC's with a high VFC,
Yevrah
20-01-2021, 01:25 AM
260 should give you about 500 with recycling, should be enough to give you a decent chance.
Raoul Duke
20-01-2021, 07:36 AM
Are you guys planning on buying much if/when there's a price crash? I'm watching VVD, Varane, RTTF Promes and Mbappe. Can't quite afford all of them so trying to wait for the right time to get involved.
thommo
20-01-2021, 10:50 AM
I would love Headliners Goretzka - currently sitting at about 480k on Xbox so I'll keep an eye on that. Other than that, not really, maybe RTTF Klostermann.
Sir Andy Mahowry
20-01-2021, 07:26 PM
I don't get why Pogba is in the TOTW. Unless they're now including midweek games.
Sir Andy Mahowry
20-01-2021, 07:33 PM
Although the Burnley game was 8 days ago...
Danny
20-01-2021, 08:39 PM
Yeah thats an odd one. I assumed it was for that game but didnt realize it was that long ago.
Yevrah
20-01-2021, 09:02 PM
Those player picks mean I can't store any players in my club, be it from objectives or SBC's. They just get shunted to the back of them and I can only see the first 50.
thommo
20-01-2021, 09:07 PM
Can you not just click the right trigger to send them to club or does it not apply to them as they're out of your vision? Or can you do it on the web app?
Yevrah
20-01-2021, 09:30 PM
Yeah, doesn't apply as you can't see them and can only see 50 items on the web app too, which are also all player picks.
No biggie, just means I can't use Tavernier, Higuain or the silver star for a bit.
Sir Andy Mahowry
21-01-2021, 01:14 PM
Ajorque and Koopmeiners for my red picks.
Almost went for Jovic instead of Koop (I have his 82 as red too) but I was too scarred after his OTW shambles last year.
Danny
21-01-2021, 02:08 PM
Saved a few packs over this week for TOTY. Crazy how quick you can stack packs on this game without even really doing anything.
Gold Pack x2
Premium Gold Jumbo x2
Rare Gold Pack x2
Mega Pack
Rare Mega Pack x2
Two Rare Gold Mega x2
75+ Player x6
85+ Rare Players 5 Pack
83+ Rare Players 25 Pack
82+ Rated Attacker x 3
82+ Rated Midfielder x 3
82+ Rated Defender x 3
I am also 2 rivals wins from a Jumbo Rare Players Pack and 4 live friendlies wins away from a Jumbo Rare Players Pack and then the Ultimate Pack for completing the set. This will be done over the next couple of days. Especially the latter as people will leave very quickly in silver lounge.
Gray Fox
21-01-2021, 05:04 PM
Red Ndombele and Ben Yedder for me. Obviously very happy with the latter. Rare to get the best TOTW player from a given week(arguable if it's Pogba).
No packs open yet, but I have a sneaky feeling we wont get TOTY tomorrow. Perhaps the announcement of the team itself and maybe a 12th man vote in some way. I see it as something like getting the defence Monday - Tuesday. Midfielders Wednesday - Thursday and then forwards Thursday - Friday with all then dropping until Monday.
Danny
21-01-2021, 05:16 PM
Would be odd for them to count down to tomorrow and then bump it to Monday imo. Though that is their normal release schedule but I think it was based upon the actual awards/release date in prior years.
Maybe pulling back your daily layout but starting tomorrow.
Yevrah
21-01-2021, 05:58 PM
Yeah, I think we'll get to see who is in the full team, a 12th man vote and the attackers tomorrow, with the regular pattern kicking in from there.
Yevrah
21-01-2021, 05:58 PM
It's also just dawned on me that I'm gonna have to do Marquee Matchups this week with almost no suitable players for it.
Sir Andy Mahowry
21-01-2021, 06:05 PM
CSL (and to a lesser extent Liga MX) dropping after I purged all non-rare bronzes apart from those in the top 5 leagues hurts me.
Can't even open bronze packs right now.
Raoul Duke
21-01-2021, 06:06 PM
84+ PP (non-repeatable). Worth doing and saving for tomorrow
Yevrah

I did the same. Should be able to whizz through La Liga though, buying the golds needed, which is sweet.
Sir Andy Mahowry
21-01-2021, 06:55 PM
Purged all non-rare golds and I've only got 100k on hand right now.
Although it might be enough, especially if I don't have to buy any bronze/silvers.
Yevrah
21-01-2021, 09:53 PM
Bronze packs in that CSL SBC. :D
Gray Fox
21-01-2021, 10:17 PM
I'm now off til Monday afternoon so some TOTY shenanigans best had happen.
I've just not got enough for VVD and opening my packs should take me over that limit, but I'll regret it on the very small chance I'd pull a TOTY potentially tomorrow. He is a pace downgrade, but everything else is a lot better.
Danny
21-01-2021, 10:41 PM
Turns out I am 20 (was 24 when I noticed) wins away from the SB's ultimate pack. Looks like we have some AFK games coming up over the weekend.
Yevrah
21-01-2021, 11:23 PM
Up to 1,127 packs now. Decided to do MM and buy the golds I need for La Liga tomorrow, which will take me to over 1,150. I could be pushing 1,200 to start with a few more objectives under my belt.
If we get the full team tomorrow for a week I'll either start opening them late evening UK or Saturday morning. Don't want to start while lightning round filth is happening.
I'm so hyped now, but very ready to be disappointed and have to wait until next Friday.
Gray Fox
22-01-2021, 12:31 AM
Well even if the unthinkable happens and you don't get anything in all of those packs, then it's time to splash all of the coins on players instead.
Yevrah
22-01-2021, 01:31 AM
This is probably tempting fate, but I'll get one. Meant more being disappointed at having to wait another week before they're all in packs so I can start opening the fuckers.
Raoul Duke
22-01-2021, 11:49 AM
I watched a Boras video yesterday and he reckons Attackers tonight/rest over the week/full team next weekend. Dunno how solid his info is but he must have some sources.
I've got about 20 packs saved but will chuck some cash in too. Aim is to buy Cantona.
Worst case Yev you can just buy TOTY players and craft a fuckton of Icons (or save all the fodder for a massive Prime Icon SBC splurge once that appears).

Ramos too.
Gray Fox
22-01-2021, 02:37 PM
I saw earlier the back end of the site was updated with TOTY reveals for the following clubs: Madrid, City, Liverpool and PSG.
The latter would make things very interesting indeed as it would suggest Messi would miss out and also make the 12th man thing even more interesting.

Or do the likely massive SBCs they release. Did they do FB Neuer, FB Marcelo and Hazard last year? Then that monster Bale the year before. Bale would be prime for a FB card.

Lewa already 3.5m. He'll definitely be worth a purchase should he drop a bit more.
Gray Fox
22-01-2021, 06:17 PM
He looks the most interesting to me. The other 2 I'll never afford.
No new SBCs is strange for a Friday.
Danny
22-01-2021, 06:26 PM
I reckon and SBC or Objective (probably the former since we have to latter already) to correspond to the position.
Suarez with the attackers. Muller tomorrow with the midfielders. Not sure on defenders. DDG hasnt got his special card yet.

I think I'll put some money in and open my picks for midfielders. Save my packs for whole team though.
I really want Bruno and the Bundesliga trifecta.
I know there are 4 Bundesliga players but I don't want Neuer.
Danny
22-01-2021, 08:14 PM
FB Ribery dropped a little late. RIP my theory (maybe, it could just be SBCs for each)
Shindig
22-01-2021, 08:14 PM
Marco Van Basten is now joining Karl-Heinz Rumminegge as players I don't want to use in Pro Evo. I had to bring on Marcelo Salas to bail us out in a Regular difficulty cup match. Marcelo scored a hat trick in no time. I've had Gazza score his first for us, as well.
Gray Fox
22-01-2021, 09:25 PM
One more card for Yev to tick off. His price though, made me actually laugh.

22-01-2021, 09:36 PM
The price for that card is ludicrous. :D
Sir Andy Mahowry
22-01-2021, 09:42 PM
They've clearly priced it like that to hurt those who are saving packs.
"Want something to put dupes in? Well suck on this."

Back on to do MM and the menus are horrific.

Yeah, in for his second session of the day.
I so want to start opening mine, but I will resist.
Gray Fox
23-01-2021, 12:59 AM
Suarez is done. I only had 10 or so packs so thought I'd crack them open. Got Kimmich as a walkout, so more fool me I guess.
Tried out Suarez and as expected he just feels too slow.
Sir Andy Mahowry
23-01-2021, 02:51 PM
Decided to try my picks last night instead in the hopes of a Robert.
Sadly I did not get him but I did get a couple of 86's & 84's from the 80+ PP's and a Ter Stegen from the 84+ which isn't too bad.
Gray Fox
23-01-2021, 04:13 PM
Found myself in a bit of a hole when it comes to where to take the team next. I run this now:
https://i.gyazo.com/5758afcf34195262fea3a3be82c06ec3.jpg
My 2 problem spots are LB and CDM. Though I am down to 10k in coins. Mendy was once the most expensive player in the team, now he has seen everyone around him upgraded. Unfortunately there just aren't many great LB options out there. The one I am tempted to do is put in Sinkgraven. He is quite a bit better than Mendy at everything, bar physically and 5* WF.
However that leads me to the 2nd positon. My defensive minded midfielder. I currently use Wijnaldum and the game has really caught him up of late. Zakaria looks an amazing CDM but linking all of that together would be a problem.
The links thing is what lead me to look at an Icon project long term. Carlos would solve a lot of problems but EA were tosspots and cut the time way short on him. Same for Cannavaro.
This has turned me towards Kaka. He has the longest time left and looks to have the longest shelf life of those there. The problem is that I don't want to start doing that card and figure out only too late that I can't finish 1 or 2 of the last SBCs. So yeah, I feel in a bit of a hole.
Gray Fox
24-01-2021, 02:56 PM
9-1 so far in the WL. I'll take a run at getting to 14 later.
I also may have judged Suarez too soon. He's come off the bench twice for me and he has scored winners. I'm actually tempted to punt Aouar and use him as a CAM in the 3-5-2. That does however massively throw the starting lineup off.
Yevrah
24-01-2021, 03:01 PM
I reckon he'd make a great CAM in a 3-5-2.
Gray Fox
24-01-2021, 03:10 PM
He's great at everything and him being fixed to 4*/4* helps too. He's even a good FK and penalty taker. He just doesn't have that burst to get away.
An Engine or a Catalyst seems best to me. The former makes his dribbling essentially perfect while the latter makes his passing perfect but adds a bit of extra pace.
Yevrah
24-01-2021, 03:20 PM
I'd be tempted with an Artist.
Oh and what's the deal with the week 4 silver online friendlies objective? Just played a match in the silver lounge and it didn't count.
Danny
24-01-2021, 03:32 PM
It’s bugged. You have to play a friend.
Pretty sure that same Obj was bugged last time they dropped it too

Been using a bunch of Icons in this Suarez Objective. Done about a third of it and used the following:
MATS
Zanetti - meh, replaced with Tavernier
Hierro - meh, replaced with Klaiber
Cannavaro - awesome. Really strong and reads the game well. Makes me want to do his SBC
Bob Carlos - great. Rapid and great in both directions
Figo - surprisingly great. Good finisher, pops up in nice spots
Maradona (97) - really shit, couldn't pass and very one-footed. Dropped for Kante
Zidane (91) - immense
Kaka (91) - also a bit shit. Weak and average passing. Dropped for O. Dembele
Henry (90) - got him out of the Icon SBC. Just can't get on with him. Should be great but is terrible. Will sacrifice into Cannavaro quite possibly

Ran through the Bundesliga as I wanted a Jumbo Rare Players/Ultimate and Bundesliga was the easiest for me to run through with my current lack of resources.
I'm also thinking of cutting my losses with Telles. He's now down to 44k (fuck me), Ole hates him and I'm really low on coins right now plus I hate having 12 spots locked up with someone who doesn't look like he'll ever recover in price.

I'm also thinking of cutting my losses with Telles. He's now down to 44k (fuck me), Ole hates him and I'm really low on coins right now plus I hate having 12 spots locked up with someone who doesn't look like he'll ever recover in price.
That's pretty brutal but I can't see him getting an IF any time soon. I'd maybe wait a little longer over the TOTY promo in case a decent SBC comes up, but you're probably better off cutting your losses at this point and using the cash to reinforce elsewhere
Bruno/Kimmich and KdB :drool:
Gray Fox
24-01-2021, 06:09 PM
Bruno being highest rated of those 3 has to be a joke right? He deserves to be there but Kimmich should be the highest.
Seems like we're legit just getting the team, some unaffordable SBCs and A KIT!!!

The 750k or so loss I'm looking at right now is incredibly brutal. But I'm down to just 27k with little in the club for league SBCs. I'm thinking of selling up and then putting the money into SBC's for more packs when the full team is in packs.

7:30 seems to be the new time for content for some reason. Moments Dybala for an 84 and 85 w/ IF. Not too bad.
As for the TOTY midfielders it's very odd. KDB highlights it but the TOTY boosts just aren't there this year. Kimmich for example is stellar, but he should be god tier.
Danny
24-01-2021, 09:34 PM
Dybala looks good. Not sure about dropping 200k on an upgrade to Correa though.
I am loving Suarez in the SB's I have used him in so far. Just feels very clinical.
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-01-2021, 09:42 PM
I've just done Dybala.
I didn't have Correa or any striker (other than OTW Osimhen) for my Serie A side and he looks like a great super sub too.
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-01-2021, 10:55 PM
So I'm in the process of completing the Premiership SBC and just spotted that West Brom is 100k+ as all the silvers are extinct (or near enough) on PS for some reason...
Guess I'm selling the two I have for a combined 24k or so.
Edit: One of them went within seconds of me putting him up for max BIN of 18k. Jesus.
Yevrah
24-01-2021, 11:02 PM

Cool.
Just finished La Liga for the first time (had all the silvers and bronzes so it was only a matter of when I could be arsed) and that takes it to 1,169 packs, 24.187m coins/£3,225 worth.
Sir Andy Mahowry
25-01-2021, 01:06 AM
La Liga done.
Up to 343 packs but a couple of those will be silver which I'll open later tonight on the web app.
I've also got 85k and 7 Telles' left to sell.
I'd like to finish the Premiership but that's not happening unless I get loads of WBA untradeable silvers in my mixed/electrum player packs when I'm opening packs. Probably run through the Bundesliga again.
Sir Andy Mahowry

Sir Andy Mahowry

This community are pure scum.
I still need to do the England & Brazil icon swaps so thought I'd do a game or two just now.
First game I went 1-0 down and we played on. As soon as I equalised he paused and quit.
Second game I went 1-0 down and the guy paused for me so we had a 40 second break. I promptly equalised and he walked.
Thankfully in the third I went 1-0 up this time and the guy decided to walk.
First two didn't take any games from me but it's insane. I usually quit at 2-0 (assuming my opponent hasn't paused for me at all) although if I feel I've been unlucky and the game is there for the taking I'll stick around.
I had some really fun games the other day with my crappy La Liga squad which were pure attacking fests.

Cheers Danny, God damn it.
About for a game thommo?
I'm about tonight for a quick match - had to really grind out the WL as I'd left it all to the Sunday evening once again.
It was an up and down session of WL for me as I started pretty well and got to 8-3. The next 4 were utterly demoralising as I narrowly lost each one, including throwing away a 4-1 lead in one particular game. I then recovered from 8-7 to get to 11-8, and this run included the wackiest game of WL I've had. A 9-9 draw in a match where neither of us could defend for toffee. I missed my first 2 penalties in the shootout and thought it was all over, but managed to save his last 3 and seal a narrow but much-needed win.
I took a chance to continue to 14 (this was at about 4am) and thankfully won each of my next 3, with two early rage quits, and I was able to sign off at 14-8.
I'm feeling it again now though. Today is going to be a bit of a write-off.

Your choice is surely EPL or Bundesliga for maximum chance. They've 4 TOTY in each whereas the other leagues have only 1.
I know I wont get one, but it's a dilemma for me. I'd want the Bundesliga players more, but my team would have a direct plug and play value with any potential TOTY.
Yevrah
25-01-2021, 06:54 PM
It depends where the packs end up in the store when I craft them I think. If I have to build loads before I'm able to open them then I may as well hedge my bets with the EPL or Bundesliga.
I'll be able to craft enough to have a decent chance of packing either Ronaldo or Mbappe though I think.

Raced through the remaining Icon Swap objectives in the past 2 days, as well as doing this week's Silver Star. Hidden gem has been Andrich, the fairly slow German CDM. Honestly doesn't feel sluggish and has been all over the field in the holding role, I'm really enjoying using him for various objectives.
By completing the final Icon Swap tokens, I got to the magic 12 token mark and opened up my Mid Icon pack this afternoon...
It was Overmars. Pretty underwhelming, but it could have been even worse. He's about 320k but the stats look quite good, and he has some decent reviews. Should at least allow me to finish off a nice Dutch hybrid squad.
Gray Fox

I'm going to hold judgement for a little while until I've used him in a few games that need stamina - and you'd definitely need to switch him up top or CAM. Bit difficult to link out too other than a full La Liga team (unless you did Ansadi, which I didn't, and regret skipping).
CL Varane down to <140k now. Gonna need to stock up on a few of him as I think he'll bounce like last year once everyone opens their packs and sells up. Papu Gomez signing for Seville is some tasty news too.

Looking at the notes (https://fifaforums.easports.com/en/discussion/587771/fifa-21-title-update-9) - all they spend these patches doing is nerfing attacking play mechanics rather than improving the game. Glad they're making juggling harder as conceding to that is complete bollocks.
Gray Fox
27-01-2021, 12:08 PM
Yeah I think the early start will be needed to be fair. Nick has even somewhat done away with his no man left behind thing and he's still opened over 1100 packs and has over 800 sat in his store. On top of that he's crafted Ribery, Boateng, Dybala and 3 Icons(Burtagueno, Zanetti and Lahm). I think even Thursday may be the latest I'd start.

In past versions my main gripe with him was his M/M workrates as stamina is something you rarely get on a card when a player is in his 30s. I'm not sure how he'll do now he's M/L. He was always my favourite CAM though.

Bringing in Boateng will also mean I can drop Neuer (who just seems to fall over) for Ter Stegen.

I did spend 150k on the 88 because I'm a fool (I had a dupe Rodri and went to do one of the 86's but forgot to use him so did the 88 with some coins instead of putting Rodri into a segment of thebase/mid icon).

Dented about 105 from the pile (I was really struggling in the last hour and a dupe untradeable Muller was the end of me) and I've done alright so far.
I redeemed WL a couple of days ago and I really wish I hadn't. I've still got just over 300 packs to open before Tuesday whilst recycling.
I'll probably just do 6 wins to get me 1000 points and if that isn't I'll end up skipping next week.

The blue walkout trolled me hard last night. I gave up on the Bundesliga upgrades and went back to EPL and got Ederson but in the next back got another walkout with a blue background and thought I'd done it. It was even worse that it was Sterling who walked out.
After searching through to see if I had any more packs for milestones or SBCs available I found I haven't done any of the League/Nation hybrid SBCs. I think after those are done and cycled through, I'm dry.
I've picked up some decent fodder for an SBC or two. For example I reckon I could get the top rated squad for an Icon done or maybe someone like Bruno, but I don't have the rest of it to back it up and finish it before time expires.
Dybala and Boateng look obvious ones, though we're surely due a midfielder tonight(Muller?) but Boateng would only really fit in if I had TOTY Neuer/Davies/Kimmich to justify him. I'd at present have to put gold Davies there and he'd be a downgrade.
Dybala would provide me a strong link to CR7 but then he would cause issues further back in the chemistry. Both of these cards look nuts though.
The other option is to gamble. Either on Bruno to get him done in time(and gamble that he gets a winter refresh) or take it to a base/mid icon upgrade. The problem with the latter is there's a lot of cards there that would make it so I was better off just discarding the stuff I put into the SBCs.
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-01-2021, 02:52 PM
Opened 2 of the ultimates and a rare mega earlier. The ultimates were crap (first had no walkout, second was Carvajal) but the rare mega was nice with IF Bernardo Silva.
He'll go nicely into the 86 with 1 IF segment in the base/mid when I get round to it tonight.

I knew it was a walkout and then the purple flare hit...
TOTY Mention Marquinhos.
A nice card and my best pull thus far but gutting when I was sure it was a TOTY.

EA fucking love Marquinos. Looks like a tidy card and could play DM. I have his Freeze card and he's consistently solid.
What's this Ronaldo SBC all about then? He looks a bit meh, especially compared to Dybala, but has some great links, which makes me tempted...
Picked up Cantona (90) and Varane from selling Lewandowski for a cheeky 2.9m :drool:

I see it as a Ronaldo for the people who can’t afford Ronaldo.
Let’s you have him in your team for 20% of the cost.

Right, so after building SBC's for 22 of the last 24 hours I've been SBC banned and no one at EA help seems to know how to fix this.
Gonna grab a coffee and then back on for a combination of opening packs on console and building SBC's on the web app until the ban expires.

The maximum these restrictions go is for 24 hours but that is the maximum limit.
The restriction can be removed earlier too so I suggest you try after 2 3 hours.
From EA's help. I'm so gonna get the maximum. Web App it is.

I've been an idiot. I thought I'd completed more of Cannavaro than I actually had, so was planning on doing Boateng and him before the weekend was up. Turns out I have his two 86 squads to do not one as I'd thought.
So I now have 175k coins and a pretty much empty club. Fabio ends in 9 days so I can't just ride the champs rewards to him. I'm going to need some bloody good luck to even afford him now.
So my choice is try to put in one section now, then pray over the next 9 days that I can get enough in to finish the last one. Or I can abandon ship and cut my losses. Maybe do that Dybala and let it go to the FUT Gods to decide.

Tried this out in a WL game and won 5-2.
Guy was a lot better than me but the team feels really good on the counter. Opponent tried to limit Neymar as much as possible so didn't get to use him much (I ended up moving him up front in one of my tactics) which is a bit of a shame but he did manage to tuck away his only chance.

Got my 50th win in rivals and got a 100k pack. It was one of the worst 100k packs I've seen (Callejon and 2 83's) but there was a dupe Lib player. Did the semi-finals segment for a Premium Gold Players pack and it contained an IF Benzema.

Also, it pains me to do this but Bebou has gone up for sale.
He's been a true hero for just 113k but he's no longer in my first team and he's gone up to 175k.
Raoul Duke

Had some awful connection going on early doors, but having left all games til Sunday I had to play through it. I had to cobble a team together and bench CR7 and Felix to make it work to my annoyance. Got to the point where I was 4-3, however then things clicked into gear.
I ended up finishing 14-4. New players tried this week were Boateng(90), Sinkgraven(86), Goretzka(84) and Red Ben Yedder(87).
I loved Boateng a lot. He doesn't seem to not win the tackle if he gets there. Sinkgraven is not for me I don't think. He does seem like he'd be the perfect LM in a 3-5-2, but as a defensive fullback I feel he's a little lightweight. I quite enjoyed Goretzka too. I'd love to pick up a big special card of his one day.
Star of the show was the very strange Ben Yedder. I say strange because for a card who has been upgraded 3 times here, his stamina is still shocking. His finishing is also a little odd. I don't feel like he hits the ball very hard at all, yet it's always tucked into the corner. I did need to haul him off around the 70th minute a lot though.
My answer to my earlier conundrum was to leave Dybala. He looks a great card, but I have a lot of nifty attackers as is. I'm also sure we wont be short of any via SBC or whatnot soon. I left him because I saw a path to complete Cannavaro. I have now done all but one 86 squad of his. It will cost 200k but the solution I've seen had a random 90 rated card dropped in, so if needs be I can mark off 65k by throwing in either my untradeable Salah or Suarez. Leaves me needing 135k, of which I already have 20. 30k for my champs finish and a push to Rivals Rank 1 would see another 75k added. I'd only need to find 10k from those packs and I should be golden. Just.
Raoul Duke
01-02-2021, 12:07 PM
Think you made the right call there - Dybala is great but his stamina is a little suspect, having used him for a few games. Cannavaro is pretty much endgame.
I'm currently watching Quincy Promes who's price has come down about 100k in the last week or so. Really want that card if he dips sub-200k.
Danny
01-02-2021, 02:17 PM
He is apparently moving to Spartak so his card will die even more if that happens.

He's had nothing but legal troubles in Holland hasn't he? Makes sense he'd go back to get a fresh start. I'm not sure it kills the card as he should in theory still upgrade should Ajax make it through. A bit like showdown cards going up even if the player doesn't play, but I'm not sure if there's precedent on it or not. He's just hit 199k now.
Think you made the right call there - Dybala is great but his stamina is a little suspect, having used him for a few games. Cannavaro is pretty much endgame.
This was my train of thought. Fabio should at the least last me until TOTS assuming I get him done and on top of that being an Icon helps a lot with my chemistry mess.
Danny
01-02-2021, 04:55 PM
He doesn’t upgrade if leaves. Same reason Kubo is a dead card.
https://www.ea.com/games/fifa/fifa-21/amp/news/fut-21-road-to-the-final
What happens if a player transfers or stops playing for a club in the tournament?
If a player is no longer on the roster of a club in either tournament, they will not receive any further upgrades.
Raoul Duke
01-02-2021, 05:31 PM
Ah cool - thanks for the heads-up. Shame as his base card has been great.
However, looks like I won't be needing him anyway. To borrow a phrase: Err, lads...:

This is what I'm thinking at the moment: https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/5780035. Would probably aim for Davies eventually but can't afford his TOTY (unless I flog Cantona/Koeman) and not sure his RTTF card is worth the price.
