Sold for 730k, which given he's pretty average is madness.

Oh Jesus and now 86 Roberto Carlos.
Holy shit. Where you packing these? You paying for packs or getting them from SBCs?Originally Posted by Yevrah
Had the Sunday blues so treated myself to some points.
Opened 30 premium gold packs, and in the space of 4 packs in the middle were the two icons, book ended by the usual shite.
The best pack luck I've had by an absolute mile - when Roberto Carlos sells (I'm playing hard ball with him as mine is the only clean card on the market) I'll have over 2m coins, with the two icons generating the best part of 1.5m of that.
Fucking hell, you lucky bastard.
Yev buying a grand's worth of points
Not even sure a grand would have guaranteed that. Well not judging by some of the poor bastards on the FIFA Forums who've done it.
Added to the 12,000 points on launch (which I pulled next to nothing from) I am now over the ton mark though.
Here's the current squad, which is the same as last time (but probably not for much longer).
Rico is probably a player I could keep to the end as I can't recall him doing anything wrong. Digne is dreadful in the final third.
Not sure what to do with the coins, might just spunk them all on IF Messi when I sell Roberto Carlos.
Can't you do screenshots Yev? You're not that old surely
Screenshots of what?
Can't really complain after tonight, but my Icon pack loan TOTW reward is again dogshit, this time Murphy from Nottingham Forest.
The team on the app etc, juts like to see how its set-up.
Not a fan of the app view as you can't see any of the names, but here ya go.
1st team:
2nd team:
Inake
He's so good. I'm quite connected to all of them now as it happens, it'll be a bind to replace them.
Bought muller last night. Playing him a ST isn't really working for me at all. He isnt strong enough. Boateng and jhon cordoba play so much better.
After his 2nd goal, i managed to buy 12 icardi's hoping i can make a raise when his IF is released. Surprised he was only going for 5k with an 84 rating.
Do standard gold cards transform into IF cards?
No but IIRC they go out of packs for the week. Not sure if that would lead to an increase in value though.
They do and it does.
Fellaini for example was 2k before his IF, when he was announced to be in the TOTW he went up to 5.4k.
Got Berndt Leno from one of the packs I got from the Squad battles. I suppose thats decent. Have no use for him though. Other pack was Christensen which I already have.
Im hoping for an ICON at some srage via packs. Odds seem unlikely though.
Nice start to this week's squad battles. Banked 1,600 points from the featured game (having been fucked over last week) and then cuffed the shittest team of the first four matchups, 10-3 on World Class.
I've decided to do every game on legendary this week and see where it takes me.
Not a great start with a 3-2 loss against Lacazette's team (why is he not in his team?) but 1600 points for the loss isn't too shabby.
That's going to be fun against that attack.
Edit: 5-4 \0/.
I hate you.
My pack luck is still shit.
The potential MM players are fixed to fuck. Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, the two Wien teams... All have some options for 2k but are largely fixed at 5k+. I have a few of them and picked up a couple of extras at 2k each just in case of requirements and to sell on at a profit if the MMs land. If Syndney FC v SW Sidney comes up I'll be laughing my way to 100k-odd as I've loads of the fuckers but I'd be surprised by back to back Aussie games being featured.
Pulled Hero Gylfi this morning for 50k.
Is that you on the EA forums that SIGNED THE PETITION, Merse?
If not someone has stolen your name.
@Sir Andy Mahowry Yup, that's me. Needs doing... I may have a chance of keeping up with FUT Champs and maintaining a relationship if I can cram more games when working from home days on Monday as well as on Fridays. Sat/Sun are pretty difficult since we generally want to go out to markets and such like.
Took a gamble on Kaizer Chiefs v Orlando or the Wien derby being in the MM's. It didn't bare out, so I may have lost 10k. Unless the Wien derby lands next week (i's repeated in the cup). Have also invested in Hearts v Hibs and Poznan v Wislew. Pretty much all of the other candidates are covered for me, and I'll likely sell surplus on the hype at a good value rather than holding out for the release of the SBC's and either benefitting from the insane pricing or making losses as with today.
Fucking terrible packs again. No luck at all this year.
Indeed.
I was stunned that they kept the same fucking system.
Hopefully they listen.
Petition over fewer games? What's the proposal?
No, just to extend it to 4 days. They listened last year when it was originally 2 days and they pushed it out to 3. It regularly runs to 4 anyway due to being extended but as it’s already underway (normally Sunday) by the time it’s announced, the benefit is pretty moot.
15k invested in next Tuesdays MMs in The hope they bring me Mbappe. Fingers crossed.
Decent start to the squad battles this time round. Won all my games on pro and won 2 of the three I've played on World Class to take me to 10,984 points, just under 1,000 off Elite 3 before the 1am update tonight.
Still rocking the La Liga and Russian teams above, haven't spent any of the Laurent Blanc haul yet and still haven't sold Roberto Carlos.
Got spanked in squad battles. On professional, lost 3 games straight. Didnt even make it out of bronze three.
God bless just scoring 5 and laying down the controller. In Gold 1 having actually played about 5 mins of the 12 games so far.
THe new team of the week is out and i have the followig players from it (normal versions)
Luke berry
Aspas
Icardi
Kimmich
I should wait until their normal cards there isnt a lot of the cards on the market and then sell when they are worry more because of the demand?
Sell now.
Really, you should have sold them at like 3pm or so.
The hype was there and you get in before the undercuts.
Oh and an IF for De Gea
I could buy it but there's no point, it will make the normal a bit more affordable from next week though which is nice.
I dont have the IF black cards. Just the normal gold, silver bronze versions of the cards. You make it sound like your talking about me selling the IF versions. clarify...
I know you have the normal versions.
Whenever you're selling something based on the TOTW you want to sell as soon as possible after EA announce the TOTW at 3pm.
Before 3pm you've just got hype (another good time to sell) and after you've got LOADS of people trying to sell their item.
You want to sell as close to the announcement because you're still getting HYPE prices and it's less likely that a huge swarm of undercutting will happen.
Fellaini was 5.4k at around 3pm when he was in the TOTW. At about 4:30/5 he was at 4k at best.
How are you gold 1 when you're getting 700ppg? The average is about 1,000 at the moment.
This. I have an alarm set for Tuesday 3pm to take advantage of the Marquee Matchup hype.
Made 10k profit on 3 Icardi's I picked up at 2k early on each this week. Will buy a few more once the value drops again as he's bound to get another IF and any 84-rated player has value in SBC's. Expecting some 83 and 84 rated squad SBC' for Halloween in particular.
I was scraping Gold 1 at the time, but am down to Silver 1 today today before playing my games tbf. Also, remember I got 1500 from the Lacazette game. Could be a console difference as well - you're on PS right? PS has always had a bigger participation in single player tournys and less of a turn out in FUT Champs (judging purely on Reddit posts).
Oh and that SIF Kimmich.
Did the loan SBC's for all of the icons yesterday, so I'll try them all out before taking the plunge.
I'm on Xbox Merse.
No point in buying expensive strikers when Luis Muriel costs £1k<. He does absolutely everything - the 80 strength is just a huge bonus. Having great fun with him, Asensio and Ben Yedder at the minute.
Might splash out on Dembele though and completely change the formation.
Oh there is someone still then! Will need to grab a game at some point if you’re up for it.
Definitely. Around on the weekend?
Roberto Carlos is gone, so now at over 2m coins.
Think I'm going to follow your lead Merse and stock up on La Liga players for that inevitable SBC as they're all dirt cheap at the moment.
I’ve re-prioritised with the expected dates for the league SBCs in mind. So far they’re sticking with the same order as last year, so I’m expecting Ligue 1 to be the first of the desirable leagues. That had a lot of slivers in it,which could get pricey but also a lot of the 83+ players are still quite cheap, so it’s worth doing it now. I’m about 50% of the way through the stock pile but am out of cash, so the FUT Champs rewards tonight are eagerly anticipated.
Sure -GT is Prawn of War. Add me up.
Will be interesting to put myself vs someone that tackles higher levels in single player, which I’m awful at whilst being a Gold 1/Div 1 standard usually in multiplayer.
