GIMME.
He also reckons they're putting out Petit, Casillas, RVP and tonight, Thierry Henry.
I think Henry will be the big test for pricing. The three we've had since Baresi have been quite fairly priced. Lahm is even down at 800k now. However Henry is both expensive on the market and very popular with everyone and most importantly, French. He was 2m before the leak hit and will likely come down a bit in the next hour or so, but I think the SBC will cost more than 2m. A bit like the Puskas situation I think.
That Henderson looks filthy.
Completely undeserved though.
Rent free :D
New objective card is a bit meh. Very samey to that Thiago Mendes pre-upgrade we got 2 weeks ago. Got him done as it's nice and simple and another 88 FODA card to use.
I also managed to do one player pick at 5:59pm and opened it after 6 ticked over. No specials but there was a Harry Kane. Going to have to put these into something soon.
I smashed the objective in about 45 mins. Like you, purely for the FODA.
I have a dupe Sancho that I need to do something with but still not sure what to do.
I'd say Henry, he's come in at also a fair price for the card. 1.4m when the card started the day valued at 2m on the market is good. He looks great but is more of a longer term project I guess. I suppose it's worth holding on until you absolutely need to shift him, to see if we ever do get that Beckham SBC?
I also see Lahm has fallen even further to below 800k now. Seems like the market is dying now TOTS is on the horizon.
Perisic completed his full upgrade tonight with the 3rd appearance. Tonali finally got himself a +2 as well. Augsberg play Hertha tomorrow so hopefully Cali can score/assist to get that clean sweep for me again. Medina just has to show up for Lens and he's there.
Lahm and Beckham before Henry I think. He can be the fodder drop during TOTS unless we get the Zidane that’s rumored.
I don’t see him, Maldini and Beckham coming as they already had SBCs though. It’s the hope that kills you
Puyol has had two, I thought I read?
I think I'll get Cahill. Looks mega with a Finisher and I always liked him as a player
I've looked and they actually have had Puyol twice now. His mid came out during winter wildcards. So maybe there is hope.
Did qualy last night and actually it was a struggle. Two dropback guys beat me, despite me massively out xG'ing them. Then got a guy who raced to a 3-0 lead against me, with some serious luck on two of his goals. He paused it for me too. I came back the rest of the game and scored to go 5-3 up, so I paused it back for him. He changed to constant pressure and even so I picked out a perfect back post cross for Origi to nod in unmarked. Somehow the game tried to do a left footed bicycle kick and ballooned it over.
Of course he gets the 2 goals to take it to extra time. Brings on Prime Eusebio and Eto'o from the bench and they absolutely killed my tired team and I lost 10-5.
Finished my playoff run 6-4, which felt crap considering the last few weeks I should really have gone 9-1. Lautaro and Mkhitaryan starting to feel like they need to go, but I'm hoping they can last til TOTS hits. Dangerous to buy anything now.
I guess there's a lot of sweaty people coming back to try and pack Mbappe. Plus it's the bank holiday so people are playing more
I forgot to bring my wristbands!
I figure I had until TOTS until that happened.
I didnt realize we had Puyol already. We dare to dream :drool:
Ander Herrera FB coming for another United PP/PSG option.
Herrera is here but they've made him a bit crap and 88 rated for some reason. 82 and 86 squad for him.
Petit the Icon of the day. 84, 85, 86 and 87 needed for him so he seems quite cheap too.
Yeah thats annoying. I was hoping for a nice 90/91.
Will prob do it regardless.
That Herrera is horrific value. Petit looks decent
Won my first 11 games of WL on the bounce and I've stopped for the night. It's been very enjoyable and had some of the best FIFA I've played. A key change was bringing TOTYHM Chiesa in for Mkhi after 5 games.
This added more pace and also got Tonali up to 10 chem(I've had him on 7 for ages). He doesn't have the passing that Mkhitaryan does or the 5* WF, but the pace and seemingly better shooting makes up for it. He just comes off the dribble nicer, like he explodes out of it when you need it.
He got 6 in 6 with 5 assists from either CAM or RW. Also Tonali felt noticeably sharper.
I managed to also get him for 92k when he was going for 100k. I've relisted him already for a few reasons. Firstly I've seen what I need to see. Second, with TOTS announced the fire sale of all fire sales should happen over the next week and I'd rather not be left holding my dick. Lastly, there isn't really much point going beyond the 11 wins, unless you can get to 16.
I'll try tomorrow but now ELO will catch me, if I'm getting humped I wont care.
EOAE Aguero and a Captains Pepe coming tonight with the icon supposedly being Casillas.
Lafont has 345 games for me but it might be time for him to rest.
Pepe very cheap.
Casillias not too bad.
No sign of Aguero
No Aguero is a disappointment.
Casillas looks just under 350k which is nice. Worth it for the dynamic image alone.
Surprises me just how cheap Pepe is though.
What a mixed evening of FIFA that was. Started off by clearing the dupes I had into Casillas, which allowed me access to the some 15 packs or so behind. Got some decent stuff until BANG, Icon Moments walkout. Came up with the Germany flag which seemed to hang there forever. Unfortunately not one of the other 3 that you'd want, but Klose.
Luckily as it turned out it was a tradeable pack so Casillas basically paid for himself. 235k back into the kitty.
Finished Iker off and into my last 9 games I went. Comfortably won the first of the evening but then came the slog. At 12-0, the next game matched me against someone way better. I was out without even a sniff of goal after being 3-0 down inside 30 mins.
Then annoyingly of the next 5 games, 4 went to ET and 3 of those to penalties. Two of which saw me concede late, late equalisers to take me there. I won the other but lost all of the shootouts.
What I will say is this run of games really has me unsure on Casillas. In two of those games that went to pens I massively out xG my opponent. I even noted them down. 8.4-2.5(4-4), 6.6-1.9(4-4) and the one that went to ET that I won was 3-3 but 6.9-3.0.
He's like a cat as a sweeper keeper and in those point blank shots. His distribution is also a massive upgrade on Lafont, but I dont know. Maybe I just expect more because of who he is but maybe I expected more.
A quick RQ win in the next took me to 15-4. At this point it'd been about 2 weeks since I got a gifted win in WL proper and the wait goes on. My opponent had a great team but gold Kimpembe and Marquinhos in defence. I scored from my first attack and he waited an age to kick off again. Maybe he was on the verge of quitting. I managed to break through again but his keeper came up with a mega save. From there he took complete control. The only chances I got were on the counter, but I lost 6-3 in the end. Final record of 15-5. Lost for the 16th win again for about the 3rd or 4th time running.
Got Barella in all 3 red picks which is annoying as I have him already. So chose the other options.
Still, now up to 950k in the kitty. Not a great deal of fodder left but it is what it is.
Damn so close.
I didnt touch the game this weekend. Hopped on the app for content and thats it.
Not seeing any leaks today.
Is it over.
And now Sheriff has Vieira "listed to come" after I say that.
Another repeat. You cant repeat him without Keane in a captains promo!
RVP out for probably around 450k.
So we have what, 3 days left and we’re supposed to have Beckham, Zidane, Maldini and Vieira? Press X for Doubt.
I’ll run what little I have through the 81+, but I’m not expecting a lot. I also haven’t touched rivals yet. I’ll give Casillas another shot in that I think.
Coin total should pass 1m before TOTS hits so I might afford one or two. Ligue 1 and Serie A being the last 2 out is annoying though.
Even the community one has very little that looks like might be of use to me. Biggest thing though is what they do with TOTS rewards.
If it’s the same as recent years that I’ll most likely only play to 11 wins and gift the rest.
I might just do giveaways if its guaranteed TOTS in reds again. Less hassle :lol:
That new friendly mode to give player picks is a FORCED PRO CAM mode.
Cantona apparently now too.
See how that goes
Managed to get all of my rivals done tonight. Casillas performed better today, with a couple of world class saves balanced out with a couple of flappers. His kicking is almost worth keeping him by itself. I've scored against the late game constant press through him picking a pass over the top of it out, more than once.
Preview pack also paid out with a TOTW which was nice. Stonks are stonks. Now at 975k. I have about 8 IFs I could sell too so realistically I'm closer to 1.1-1.2 with what I have tradeable. I'm hoping a party bag comes out tomorrow so the prices go up again and I can sell.
I've looked on FUTBIN and there are some real tasty players in that price range. The likes of Prime Zidane, Maldini, mid Cruyff all not too far above what I have now.
I've been almost exclusively rocking the 3-5-2 now. It can absorb a lot of pressure and you're not overly fucked if you commit a CB and miss. Perisic is the perfect wide player in the formation. Tall and strong, with decent enough defending stats to make him a nuisance and a great finisher on both feet. He's also rapid with his upgrades now on him and he's still one more to come.
The odd man out is Nuno Mendes really. He handles the defensive side of his LM role well, however he doesnt seem to be the greatest passer or crosser of the ball. But what lets him and me down most is his dire finishing. He gets into good positions, but most of the time he's lucky if he hits the target. I could use an upgrade there.
Well he was right about Vieira! 1.7m in the current market which isn’t horrifying.
He doesn’t seem as annoying to play against this year. That mantle falls squarely on Kante. Even though it should probably be the other way around. Puts some serious doubt on my Lahm plan.
I dont think I have seen him too many times this year. So hard to judge really.
I just finished up RVP but will be going for Paddy V next. It'll all be irrelevant when the 87x10 repeatable comes along, but something to work towards
This pro cam captains mode has been fun. Really enjoyable going forward.
Edit: Prime pack is also out
Captains Tadic out of my Prime pack. Also got Ward-Prowse earlier from a pick
That pro cam would be fine if it didn’t constantly zoom in and out all the time. I felt sick at times!
Still got an 86 stones and Bruno fernanshhh from the picks.
No specials in my prime pack, best was a couple 85s. In using the dupes to complete Pepe I noticed I too have captain Tadic in the club but no idea how or when. I’ll take it though. More sweet sweet fodder.
Captains Pellegrini and Navas from the 85 picks.
Then got another Donna from the 84+
Cantona today and Maldini tomorrow apparently.
Maybe upgrade from the mid depending on final cost.
Cantona out for about 1.45m.
Did a campain bag and got Koke. Probably wont do Canales now because of that.
I really want Cantona and Vieira - doubt I can afford both unless I completely rinse the club but I have enough for one of them (and midfield needs the upgrade more than attack). Other option is Lahm instead. Gonna try the loans and see who I prefer
When TOTS hits affording both should be possible. The amount of 87+ cards flowing into clubs goes up massively.
It’s going to be what you want of your midfielder really. Lahm will cover grass more quickly and will feel better on the ball and be as good at passing as you’ll need.
Vieira will be more clunky, but physically and defensively dominant. His legs being 50 feet long helps him intercept everything. Depends how you play and what you’re missing really.
Only played to 4 again this week. Finding myself less interested in playing.
I did get a couple of walkouts and some boards in the packs with 84 Laimer as my red.
Tonali looking nuts. They screwed his upgrade up at first but went back and redid it giving him more speed and dribbling.
Maldini out. About 1.8m.

The question I was going to ask the other day was while all of these new batch of PIMs are cool, in one way or the other, but for the most part look like they could be usurped by the coming TOTS cards, with a couple of exceptions.
Maldini however, does maybe have slight concern with physicals, but looks like he'll be absolutely fine!
What's with EA being so nice?
Its a weird one. A bunch of VERY good and reasonably priced desirable icons in April?
They must be closing the servers in May or something
Reckon there's one last chance for Becks tomorrow or are you dumping into Maldini/Vieira/Cantona?
I notice there are zero Chelsea nominees in the EPL TOTS due to Russia. However I'm SEETHING at the lack of Thiago Alcantara.
Since we have a “dead” week I think I’ll wait a bit longer.
Thinking Lahm over Paddy if I do one of them though. Gonna try the Cantona loan too I think.
I'd love Cantona, but I feel like I'd then be trapped into having him and Mboopy up top because of how much they've cost.
Like yourself I found myself with Dupes after my rewards(which were shite, though red 86 Clauss) and turning to Lahm over Vieira. He's more my kind of player I think.
Just feel like that kind of ratty shuttler works better in this game.
I would end up dropping Ronaldo for him. I don’t think I could get away with him at CAM behind Ronaldo. Too many tall players
Yeah I feel like Mboopy is on my limit of clunk. Perisic is taller, but is much leaner and feels more nimble. Now I do play Mbappe on 8 chem with a marksman, so I could get rid of the clunk a little, but getting his strength and reactions way up along with his thicker body type will do until I can 10 chem him.
The obvious player here would be some form of Messi, but as is, his TOTY card is 1.7m.
At this point holding into TOTS is the way. The PPs really have not paid out on me at all this week. The only other thing to do would be to invest in fodder, but now is a very bad time to do so. The supply of it is going to go mental in a weeks time.
