I’ll be doing it when I get home tonight. More fun to see them drop in game.

Someone whack a team up using Ben Davies.
I'm going to get Pope or one of the two defenders this time, but it was worth it to get Son the first time.
I would be happy with Jan.

Edit, wait I fucked it and can’t figure out how to edit. Put Gullit in for Dele since you have him
I just did it for my friend and pulled out Sterling.
I meant for the SBC, sorry should have said that.
Just got to the final of the DKT where I was lagged to fuck. Lost 2-1 with me scoring my only non-lagged attack (right after half-time). Blanc hitting the bar at the final whistle was gutting but I could barely see anything at that point.
I feel like I'd have wiped him had it not been for the lagfest.
Ive got 30 packs i havent opened since mid march. Saving for bundesliga. Probably pointless though as the prem is where the coins are at
Got Pope. Not even sure how to fit him in.
Seems to be you get 1 good and 1 trash from what I've seen. The very, very fortunate are getting 2 good pulls.
My nephew got Sterling and Fernandinho. Just doing my second now.
My first bicycle kick on this version
Lukaku.
The game obviously wanted me to have him.
Damn. Seems like I got the bad end of the deal then.
I know a mate of mine also got Son with his first pack. I'm very interested to see who he gets.
Cashing in on my remaining EPL players now. Making a fortune.
Do we think the requirements will be the same for Italian/German/Spain leagues TOTS? As if so, buying up all cards from there 82 and up would be a good idea.
Can't beat the DKT (I keep getting a fuck ton of bad luck in the final) and every TOTS under 90k is dead.
The french league player of the year and young is this sunday I think
All your 88+ PL players are crashing a little now. The lower rateds that shot up on Monday are coming back down too.
I got David Silva
Up to 900k in coins now.

Not sure which TOTY players to buy.
Just had another quitting from an opponent in the DKT at 0-0. What on earth is the rationale for not giving me the win there?
I'm in a rut. I can barely win a game in DKT.
Fuck it all.
Contemplating binning off all the untradeables and doing Maldini.
Looking in the club I have these:
FUTB Schweingsteiger
FUTB RVP
Swap Ibra
Swap Koke
EOAE Pirlo
EOAE Kaka
SBC Cavani
SBC Thiago
IF Can
TOTS Silva
TOTS Martinez
TOTS Giovinco
87 Inesta
83 Toure
83 Lallana
I have a couple of funky teams (MLS and Spain/La Liga) built from them but if I am going to balls deep on TOTS I am not going to want to use anyone else
Just bought Van Ginkel for 91k.
I feel sick.
Just game back from 2-0 down to a dabbing and shushing twat to win 4-2. What a feeling.
Defending is getting better, largely it seems through not actually trying to defend, more manoeuvring the midfielders and forwards to create a shield.
I guess a lot of people assumed they'd win the DKT like me
Got Musad'd in the next round, losing 4-1.
What I really struggle with against the better players is their ability to seemingly change the flow of the game by custom/preset tactics.
I feel that mine were alright but I changed them to try and win a final but the team is now playing worse.
I hate that some seem to play an incredibly effective high pressure game yet when I try it, my defenders are pulled all over the place.
The guy I got Musa'd by was changing his on the fly and/or using the preset tactics to great effect.
Agree on the pressing, what the fuck are the settings to achieve that? Someone must know, surely?
Lots of missed profits all around here lads. Hugely disappointing.
I'm putting it down to laziness. I'm not XxFIFAGOD69xX but even I can do the reward players from SB. We've had three so far and all have been easy. Even better, if you do it and don't like your TOTS player, you can re-roll on a Tuesday.
I've spent less than 20k on the three combined. Just from SB rewards.
Fancy a game Fox?
Its a lot of headache trying to buy players beforehand and filling your tradepile. Its a lot of work
For this weekend, it looks like its going to be la liga tots. A few players are locks based on preditions. If you buy the gold card, once its out of packs they usually rise by 25% if they are in demand. Salah was 25k this time last week. Now he is 33k as his gold has been out of packs because of tots. Its work though buying, stacking and selling. I think I'm done with it now.
Ter Stegen
Alba
Segio Roberto
Aspas
I used Criscito and got De Bruyne which I'm keeping.
I didn't get any of the other freebies.
Actually I got Doucoure from the ROW thing but used him to save some coins on Gullit, wish I hadn't now.
I used a couple of my TotS on Gullit, but I've still managed to hang on to enough to do all of the SBC's for free so far. And the TotS I used were pretty unusable.
Also, whoever is the reward for a daily, weekly or dkt challenge. If he is an tots card. Buy the player he links best to as people will submit him in a sbc
Done. I'll be up for 45 mins yet so let me know if you fancy it.
You'll smash me, but I could do with the constructive criticism.
Well that was pretty brutal, don't hold back.
Should be another kinda cheap one tomorrow from ROW.
6-0 and 8-1. Ouch.
Interesting to watch how you play though and one thing I couldn't get my head around is that everytime you broke you had players in acres of space whereas everytime I did (which was obviously much less) I ran into 5 players back and not once in the two games did I get in behind your defence down the middle.
Is that player instructions, custom tactics, a combination of both or something else entirely?
It's player instructions combined with their workrates. For example you can tell Balotelli to come back on defence but he'll do whatever he wants with his low/low.
Did you notice I played a different formation in both games?
I played the 4-3-2-1 you see in the load screen in the first game. The 2nd was 4-1-2-1-2(2) after that pause at the start.
In the 4-3-2-1, my front 3 at all set to get in behind and press back line. The thought here is, with all 3 having high attacking workrates, the runs will be constant and also layered.
The 2 outside midfielders I leave alone. Vidal and Nainggolan are beast high/high box-to-box midfielders, so I let them do their thing. I do though set Dembele to stay back whilst attacking. His lack of high attacking workrates means he will listen 90% of the time and be the first line of defence, or he'll be there for a pass to be recycled to.
I don't touch the CB instructions and the full backs are told to stay back whilst I'm attacking. This combined with Dembele is why you got that wall of 5. In theory I split my team into an attacking unit of 5 and a defensive 5.
The 4-1-2-1-2(2) is mostly the same, but for when I think I need a go-to man between the lines. Everyones instructions stay as above, but this time I have a CAM. He is told to stay forward.
If he can sneak in behind your midfield then he's in a perfect position to cause damage if I can get him the ball. As then he'll have a 3 v 3 or a 3 v 4. The strikers then try and get in behind and it gives you a choice. Cover their runs but allow Hazard to bear down on goal, or go out to take the ball of him. Either way space is being left to be exploited.
Cheers, really useful that.
Do you bother much with custom tactics at all then?

Attack fast and through the CB/Full-back channels. I also wants runs and I want lots of them.
If that card is cheap, I want it.
