    I bought the most expensive but it only gives 3 day early access.

    Valencia looks like he could be shit hot and a little underpriced due to Dybala, Aguero and Mertens.

    Liking the new web app.

    Doesn't feel like it's outdated, like all the previous versions.

    They've seemingly removed single player cups, which I don't like and I'm not convinced the rewards for daily challenges etc are pitched right. I was able to complete all 5 by playing one game on semi-pro and buying one consumable and was given a fair chunk of coins and 3 packs.

    Which might sound good, but I suspect the weighting of good players in packs will be lower than it's ever been, leaving trading as the only way to viably build up a good squad. Might be wrong though.

    The GUI is also a step backwards, there's an irritating pause when flicking between menus and I think the general look of it (with the cards in particular) being worse than 17.

    Yep, just hangs on the connecting screen.

    Managed to play enough though to secure gold 3 (I think) in the squad battles mode, which gets me 2 Jumbo Gold Premium packs and 12,000 coins.

    Took my rewards and having pissed around with various players so far I think I'll go with a German team to start properly, so in come Sabitzer and Keita. The former is obscene with a Sniper card.

    Just played Antoine Griezmann's team, which was ridiculous. He's obviously got his 99 version of himself that EA have given him, but he must have spunked a week's wages assembling the rest of them.

    The 5 game loan fat Ronaldo you get with the icon edition is the 96 rated in form one.

    Glorious, I can't wait to use him.

    Mine is downloading now but it's obviously slow as shit.

    7 hours to play, 32 to be fully installed. I wanted to play a bit before bed but oh well.

    I'm still hoping that everyone will be jizzing themselves over Neymar and Mbappe.

    Lacazette might get a bit more love after his game yesterday (do Monday games count for TOTW?) as he must be getting an upgrade right away.

    Who have people gone with for strikers? Are there any cheap gems or heavy hitters in the 50k to 100k range?

    Had a shocker on squad battles last night, which was largely down to not having a good striker.

    What level are you playing? I’m playing Legendary atm but it’s just boring after a few games.

    Breaks down as follows (mostly estimates):

    30 games played (all with 1k bonus from the catalogue rewards) = 48,000
    Squad Battles Rewards (playing mostly on professional difficulty Waffdon) = 12,000
    Packed and sold Morata = 25,000
    Done all of the daily challenges so far with their rewards = 10,000
    Silver Trading = 10,000

    So over 100k from that lot and I have a team bought for about 50k with 50k in the bank.

    Oh and like the look of Locadia from this week's TOTW.

    For some reason I'm absolute shit against the AI, other than when I'm hunter.

    My UT team is good but something isn't clicking, especially defensively.

    What's your UT team Mahow?

    And defending is fucked. Or at least the AI doesn't do everything for you like it did on FIFA17.

    It's the one that Boraslegend recommended for the start.

    Promes is absolutely brilliant.

    Finally won a game on pro, 4-3 with a hattrick from Promes.

    Edit: And again, although I was 3-0 down and had to bring on the loan versions of Pogba and dual Ronaldo.

    The fat man is ridiculous.

    It’s like they’ve taken everything ever overpowered and put it in this game. Low power shots, crossing, chipped through balls, finesse shots from outside the box. I’m averaging five goals a game online and now conceding just under three. It’s batshit mental.

    Tip: always chip the keeper if one on one - you’ll never not score. Leave it until the last minute.

    My loan version pack of current Ronaldo has vanished. I was saving opening it for my the weekend with my nephew but it's just gone.

    Thankfully I opened fat Ronaldo as I'll never get to use him otherwise.

    It runs out in three days, never mind. Wish I seen this on Tuesday as would be on Elite 2 with ease which is £25k and 2 mega packs. Not sure I’ll be in a fit state to play this weekend but hopefully find time to play matches tomorrow morning which should put me a few thousand off Elite 1 which is £40k and the 2 mega packs.

    Park the bus and fast passing will beat Legendary - just gotta hope the AI doesn’t take the piss and score a worldy like they tend to do.

    Yeah, it's a weekly thing and the rewards drop at the end of the week.

    Up to gold 2 for me now but a thousand points of Gold 1, which is a bit disappointing as I fancied getting that after last week.
