6-2, 5-2, 5-2 and 5-1 wins all on professional ends a shambolic 2 day run of fuck all points and gets me 4,631 points, to move 1,415 points behind Gold 1.
Bit more Silver trading moves the coinage up to 477k and I'm sat on 6 gold IF's and another 300 players in the cloob. Good times.
One of the IFs is Simone Zaza, who looks fackig awesome with an Engine card on him.
Are you lot all playing FUT just offline?
I am at the moment. Think the first online weekend league starts this weekend so that might change for others, but I'm happy as I am right now.
OOH cool. I suck online. I'll give that a go though.
I'm going to stick with it for a little bit longer.
Probably wont start trying to get into WL until after Christmas.
Edit: I might do the occasional weekend but can't commit fully until January.
Got Di Maria in a pack. Straight on the transfer list, the cunt. Easy 25k +
Jerome Boateng packed from an SBC gold pack reward.
130k, thank you very much.
Is your plan still to get Shearer?Originally Posted by Yevrah
At some point, but he's far too expensive to be worth it at the moment. His 91 card isn't on the market currently, his 89 goes for 800k+ and his 87 for circa 450k. The latter will definitely be available for just over 100k at some point.
Having used (fat) Ronaldo on loan, I'd love any version of him. He's an absolute beast.
Finesse low driven shots are broken to absolute fuck.
They're pretty much automatic.
I also have Henry's 90 LW version on loan now to try because of the journey.
Aren't finesse shots and driven shots two different things?
Yes, but combining them (so hold R1, load up on the shot and then tap shoot again) is so good.
I don't think I've had one saved in the box.
I jumped into pro clubs last night with my clique. Played for two hours and it was the most fun ive had playing with friends in a long time. So much friendly rage.
Another 5-0 this morning, albeit only on pro. Think I'll stick to that level for now as I'm quite enjoying it. I'll get some analysis of points per game required for each rank up later.
Is Semedo likely to be a regular for Barca? His OTW at 45-50k seems good value if so?
Got 190k coins, fuck knows what I buy.
What team have you got now?
What the fuck is all that about? What does being in Hashtag United actually involve?
You can't take yourself that seriously when you barely have enough space between your bed and your radiator to fit a chair in.
Pulled OTW Aurier and Wijnaldhum just now, which was nice.
Bit crude, as I don't know what effect unplayed games will have.

I really don't like Salah at all.
In his current state I feel that he's just too lightweight and not good enough to counteract the 2* WF.
Time to buy Mkhitaryan back and hope Salah gets an IF quick so I can shift him.
Another 4 good wins on Professional and I'm back into Elite 3. Only by 1,000 points, so I won't be there come the next update at 5 (I think I'll be about 2,000 points off), but it's very definitely game on.
Hardest of the last 4 games was against Class on Grass. Fellaini was a right pain in the arse to play against (he's like a fucking brick wall), they had Daniel Sturridge (who is always going to score against me) and they brought on Henry and Bale. Managed to hold on for a 3-2 win though.
Squad at the moment.
And the stats:
Weak links are definitely Digne, Semedo and most of the Russian second team midfield, but things are ticking along nicely at the moment so I'd rather wait until there's a market crash before spunking the coins.
It was a sad moment when it dawned on me that the Spanish team was better than the Boraslegend Russian one as that meant fewer games for Promes and Smolov.
I still haven't quite made my mind up whether to go with Zaza or Ben Yedder. I only bought the former as an IF investment, but it's very useful having a striker who can win headers from Rico punting it upfield.
Spent most the coins on building the SBCs
Team is:
GK - Casillas
RB - De Marcos
CD - Martinez
CD - Matip
LB - Moreno
CM - Kovacic
CM - Bruno
CM - Koke
RW - Suso
CF - Aduriz
LW - Lucas Perez
Sorloth, Sommer, Oyarzabel, (Thorgen) Hazard, Ramsey, Lichsteiner, Keane as subs
Big fan of Michael Keane with an Anchor card on him. Brick wall.
My team is:
GK: Courtois (11 apps)
RB: OTW Walker (20 apps, 1 assist)
CB: Smalling (25 apps, 1 assist)
CB: OTW Sanchez (21 apps, 1 goal, 1 assist)
LB: Alonso (19 apps, 2 assists)
CM: Herrera (23 apps, 7 goals, 6 assists)
CM: Bakayoko (21 apps, 2 assists)
CM: Eriksen (15 apps, 5 goals, 8 assists)
RF: Mkhitaryan (3 apps, 1 goal, 3 assists)
LF: Martial (25 apps, 39 goals, 9 assists)
ST: OTW Lukaku (25 apps, 34 goals, 24 assists).
I had no idea that Lukaku had that many assists until I just checked.
If you're on the 4-3-2-1 the ST gets shitloads, even though it doesn't really feel like it.
How are you doing on the squad battles Mahow?
Just outside elite 3.
Just played like crap against a bad legendary team then, despite having a million chances, went down to a team on pro.
Edit: Gold 1 actually, I just saw a blackish badge.
Just done the latest 4 games and my finishing's gone to shit too. Think it's down to the games now (having played 12 squad battles today) feeling like a real slog.
Managed to win them all, but a couple were very close and low scoring. Just crept over the 30,000 points mark, to put me 2,500 ahead of Gold 1, but 5,000 behind Elite 2. If I don't get Elite 3 from here, particularly after last week's shambles, I'll be annoyed.
Glad I don't have to play another game until tomorrow, albeit annoying that I have to at least log in and refresh opponents between 1am and 9am to avoid losing 4 of tomorrow's 12 available games.
I've gone with a very basic Premiership team for now, and I'll just hoard coins until the prices begin to drop. Nearing 200k at the moment.
GK - Claudio Bravo
DL - Alberto Moreno
DR - Davide Zappacosta
DC - Michael Keane
DC - Nicolas Otamendi
DMC - Idrissa Gueye
MC - Ander Herrera
MC - Adam Lallana
RW - Portuguese Silva
LW - Sofiane Boufal
ST - Michy Batshuayi
Occasionally play a 41212 with King joining Michy up front and Cazorla coming in behind the strikers. Both work quite nicely.
Batshuayi is a monster, like a mini Lukaku with a Hawk card on him.
Me and Yev bossing it, every other fecker rocking a PL squad
I'll be going for a hybrid, likely based around IF Locadia and Aranguiz when the prices come down enough to give me real options.
Have you used either yet? I was disappointed with both of them.
Just tried the career mode.
The new transfer negotiation system
It's a fucking nightmare.
Cash in on spanish CM in la liga . All going for a minimum of 1500 via auction.
It's down to the Neymar SBC, so any players with the same nationality as their league that fit into a 4-3-3 of sufficient rating will be going for a fair bit.
Just done it myself and unbelievably packed two IFs (Maicon and Hernandez) in the Jumbo Gold Premium pack. Not seen that before.
They both go for buttons at the moment, so I'll hold onto them. Got quite the stockpile of IFs now.

Got Dele Alli from a draft. By far the best I've gotten from a pack.
27,378 thus far.
Would have been higher but I lost 2-1 on World Class to one team after a 120th minute ridiculous volley winner that went in off the bar.
I'd use Batshuayi in place of either of your current strikers, Trance.
Went on for first time since last week. Packed Sane, Rudiger, Herrera and Antonio untradable. Just checked their prices after buying players to fit around them. Jesus fucking Christ. 100k for just the first three. I hate the PL on UT. Overpriced shite.
Fucking Rashford is 50k. He’ll get packed a ridiculous amount.
Herrera is an absolute beast.
Sat about 4k ahead of Elite 3 at the moment so I think I've made it, possibly even without the remaining 4 games.
I'd need to win the last 4 games on Legendary to make Elite 2 I think, so no chance of that.
I’m not even bothering with Pro. I don’t enjoy games vs the CPU at all and SBs are just a means to an end right now - still waiting on fibre activation so still pretty horrible playing online most of the time, so beating up the CPU on amateur for 10 in-game kind then passing to my gk to hold the ball for the next 80 mins whilst I do other things is all I’m doing. It makes me 1.5k with my coin boosts still yet to run out, and 700 odd SB points per game. Should hit Gold 1 whilst having done very little for only 2 of this weeks days.
Coupled with working from home 3 days a week, SB’s should be a profitable wee sideline for me once I get back to D1 and WL with the fibre.
Fair play to you Merse, doing that would drive me mental.
The thought of one game on amateur to get the 10 German goals weekly challenge is making me itch, let alone starting dozens of them.
I’m just grinding. As an old RPG player (offline only mins) who can deal with a grind as long as I can shortcut/do other things, I’m happy enough. Because it’s so easy to score 5 goals straight from kick off on amateur and the AI doesn’t bother winning the ball in your half, for 10 of the 12 minute games I’m just sat playing FM, watching something, reading, chilling with the missus... not difficult at all for me.
Just itching to get going with the high level divisions and FUT Champs. From November onwards last year all I did was complete a season in D1 (or win promotion from D2 when I dropped down) during the week then play for Gold 1 at the weekend. That’s all I’m really interested in doing gameplay-wise. These SB’s will only ever be a grinding thing for me.
Will post my squads up soon, but more importantly now have 500 odd players, 100’s of contracts, plenty of fitness and some OTW and TOTW in reserve. Will be hoarding a lot this year right from the start for SBCs and weird WL requirements.
Currently up to division 6 in FUT after grinding the whole weekend with my bundesliga based players. Starting to the get the hand of defending which is good. Starting to really get involved int he game now. I managed to pack herrera and alonso which manged to get me 50k coins which was nice. I also got griezmann, but I cant sell him
You packed an untradeable Griezmann? Man, that sucks.
