This peruvian striker Ruidiaz is my new Elyounoussi. Pulled him so many times during the christmas period it's not even funny.

I was kicking myself initially for not investing prior to the icons being released, but it looks as though the community have roundly rejected them.Quote:

Some bloke on Reddit claims that EA are holding the better ones back because they'd be too overpowered against the rest of the players available if they released them currently.Quote:

Another 7 wins from 8 in the games so far today takes me to 55,195 points gives me a 6k buffer in Elite 1 - think I need 25,000 points from the last 16 games to secure it.
TotGS Ben Yedder is now legitimately the best player I've used so far in this version - 129 goals and 90 assists from 100 games. Absolute bargain for 108k coins.
Import club is back on Futbin
Have you got it to work? Seems there's a different way to do it now.
Took some time but I got it to work after like 5-6 minutes. I clicked on every menu in my club.
Did the SBC Pirlo for a total spend of 11k, so I'm going to put a squad together featuring him, IF Alessandrini, and TOTGS Ben Yedder. I fucking loved IF Ben last year so hopefully he lives up to that.
Carried on cultivating packs (in a futile effort) ahead of TOTY and am now up to 31 from various sources. One of which is back doing the Ligue 1 SBC's, which I aborted a while back. A lot of them are much cheaper now, got some Prime Gold Players Packs and Rare Gold packs for circa 10k each, but I see Lille (that made me stop last time) is still a complete fucking piss take. EA have just upped the prices allowed on the previously extinct players and it now costs in excess of 77k to do.
Would love to hear what Pirlo's like. Haven't used him yet, but those stats. :drool: Well, all bar the stamina.Quote:

He doesn't have the finesse shot trait like Mbappe, Martial and Son yet Ben Yedder might be the best player I've used at outside the box finesse shots.
20 games, 29 goals and 15 assists.
Mahow, you've only got one team right? Is it a pain in the arse managing injuries and more specifically fitness as a result?
I've got so many fitness/healing cards.
If I happen to run out I can just make a crap second team for it but right now I don't need one.
Another week or so and I can see him being a lot closer to 400k if you dont BIN everything and prices get closer to 'normal'Quote:

23 games in and I've come to the conclusion that SIF Vrsaljko is no better than standard De Marcos. I'd also love a full back that could score routinely. Mine get so many chances and it's pitiful watching Marcelo, for example, try and finesse it in.
EDIT: Even SIF Ashley Young is shit at it and he supposedly has decent shooting.
How come the updates are not 24 hours again?
I liked it when it was more relaxed.
Squad Battles? It's always been every 8 hours on the weekends.
Can I save my free packs from the Icon edition?
Looks like im losing 20% on the 50+ gold and IF cards i have on my transfer list. Im going to cut my losses once the scream cards are hyped and released. Fuck.
Scream cards?
Sold OTW Lukaku to make another two changes to my first team. It now looks like this:

But changes to this in game:

I was having joy yesterday (with the previous version of the team) with left back (was Alonso) on stay back with Kimmich on always overlap. Didn't take much away defensively but added a lot offensively with Kimmich getting 4 assists and a goal in the 4 matches but he was creating a ton of chances.
Well that was the worst 125k spent. Laporte and 21 duplicates.I doubt anyone has as bad luck as me when opening packs.
Full moon should see them boosted and hypedQuote:

I think you may have already tried him but Bale?
Yeah, his very left footedness and 3 star weak foot pissed me off. Probably more my fault than his, but hey-ho.
EDIT: And once you've exhausted him and Messi (And maybe Mbappe) there isn't much left at the top end.
FUTBIN import isn't showing ALL my players in my club. I can only really find players on my trade pile/transfer list and the Profit Gems. How can see my whole club players including bronze and silver?
Before you click 'finish' on the import tab you could try clicking next on every page of players you have in the actual web app. Worked for me.
You have to go through all player pages to get all players in there. After that, once you click finish, there should be a section with profit gems. Above that box on the right should be "click here for full trading page".
Also this chrome extension pulls futbin prices for packs...

I'll be saving the rewards for now, which with the two Jumbo Premium Packs from the Icon edition will take me to 41 packs saved up. That said, I think I lose the latter if I don't open them within a week.
Oh and in team news, the Prime Bergkamp is getting such good reviews that I'm considering either doing him outright or turning in Rui Costa towards him. Prime Roberto Carlos is also on the list as well.
79700 for me which I hope will be just enough for Elite 1.
Can't speak for PS4, but if you're on Xbox it will.Quote:

That TOTW SBC is a right pain in the arse, it's inflating the values of all the SBC's I want to do (25k for a loan Bergkamp!!) and given how shit the current TOTW is it's even more of a waste of time doing it than normal.
Im going to miss out on elite 1 by less than 500 points. Never been in that group. Reward would only be an extra 10000 coins but it would have been nice. I conceded a late goal on wednesday or thursday and then lost on penalties. I blame that game.
PS4 for me. WIth me being off from work I played maximum games this week so If I don\t reach Elite 1 this time I probably never will .
Everyone wants Messi.
Absolutely no way of differentiating between which Jumbo Premium Packs are those from the Icon edition and those that I've earned by other means. :moop:
Luiz Gustavo as my loan IF.
Dzeko & Falcao from the megapack rewards. Nothing spectacular as usual.
HOW can a reward be “are you new to FUT? here is a a loan player” surely they should recognise im not new to FUT and recognise what type of players im using in my first 11 and give me something based on that.
The loan based objectives over the last couple of weeks (bar the current 30 game Icon one) have been an absolute joke.
I'm sure the argument is that people who have just picked up the game for Christmas will benefit, but most of the overpowered base golds are so cheap now that doesn't stack up either.
