6-1 in the pointless WL ever, but having oodles of fun, so all good.
6-1 in the pointless WL ever, but having oodles of fun, so all good.
Im having a shocking time lads with my final team.
Im 14-7 and every game feels like shit. Nothing is going good.
Finished on 16 wins and 14 losses. It was really bad
Weren't you pushing on Elite the other week? What has happened to basically double your losses?
That's the level I normally play to every time I do weekend league. You can see why I enjoy it so much...
Aim is always elite but ive never achieved it. Ive had 22 and 21 wins over the past few weeks. I can usually get 17 wins with games to spare. Not this week though. It was a struggle, I couldn't defend and people could score whenever they wanted
Ive added TOTY laca, lala and moments Cannavaro and also stopped bronze bench.
I don't think bronze benching has any impact in weekend league as the matchmaking is based on form.
You're probably right but I do it just on the off chance that it will get me an easier match.
They seperate top 100 on skill rating if you check the leaderboards. Matchmaking isnt based on SR? There are probably several factors.
In Rivals it is based on skill rating, but not WL.
Your first match is essentially a random matchup and then everything thereafter follows your form. So if you're 0-15 you'll be getting matched up against the shittest of the shit. But if you are 15-0 then it's the best of the best for you.
I’ve saw on the WL channel someone who was 28-0 being matched up with someone who was 14-8. Ive seen it with my own eyes. It's not always consistent.
Still, shocking WL from me.
Another problem with this years version is that it is meta only. For example in Nepenthez latest video he makes a team including Promes and Lozano just for fun. Even though he is the better player, he doesn't start winning until he bring on the meta players from his bench.
Maybe it's using some newer players that's not helped you?
I think the WL form thing only goes to +/- 7 or 8.
I'm sure I've heard Nep talk about it.
Apparently it's +15/-10.
I'm not complaining. You're always going to get bad games and be off-form. My biggest concern is consistency from game to game. It feels like I have my players stats on 50 and my opponent is on 99. Sometimes it feels I'm on 99 and I can feel if I have the advantage or disadvantage, the moment you kick-off
I'd give up my super team and play with non-rare golds if I got perfect gameplay every time.
I played with a rare gold 85 rated team a few weeks ago and got to gold three with games to spare. Super teams are worth a extra three wins and hyper teams are worth six (made up numbers)
I wouldn't go that far, particularly now where as soon as you're on +5 you're playing Hyper teams - I faced R9 4 times in 10 games this weekend, three of which were the 96 version, and in at least 2 (I think all) of those cases he had CR7, Gullit and 97 Mbappe with him. I think I have a hyperteam now, in fairness, though my 97 Mbappe stands alone as the only player over 1.2m. To have 3 or 4 players each worth 3-4m in the team is mental, even now.
Finished on 8 wins after some scoopy uppy shit for the last few games got me not so much mad, as errr... disappointed.
We haven't had any worthy content the pst two days. Nothing. They are killing themselves it seems or when they do release content, nobody is doing them as they have the numbers on the back end.
They know they're not going to sell (m)any packs any more so can't be arsed.
They don't tend to release much when they've an event on.
For anyone interested in the Brazil assists futswap you can get the assist and quit. I have got a couple of early ones and left just to speed it up.
If any of you don't get Promes you should quit UT. I love him. I've put him in over Depay even though he's only on 8 chem.
If the rest of the obj are like these, I will end up with Rashford. If they put anything like that Coman one in I’ll be fucking it off and likely get Promes.

Fuck that french objective. 9 wins is crazy.
We really need play and complete x games themed objectives
Robben has returned at a cost of 400k.
Close but not the one I wanted
EA really are making this easy to ignore.
Re-releasing that 81+ UCL upgrade, the worst value upgrade sbc ever, is hilarious.
Scream Calhanoglu and Lloris in my Twitch Pack.
TOTY-ish Bale has returned for 300k.
There's also a patch coming out. Now I know they've been having streamers and a few choice partners to their HQ for the basis of this. It's all on gameplay responsiveness. They want the same experience every time.
I will say I thought my gameplay was great on this version up until around December, when they first said about fixing the issue. Now it's 50/50. Hopefully this is a fix.
I liked the vanilla version of the game.
Timed finesse shots were utterly broken but the game was actually fun.
My Twitch Prime pack isn't showing up.
I did Bale for about 25k outside of the club. Fuck knows how I will fit him in.
I'm waiting to see tomorrow/Thursday before maybe doing Bale or Robben.
The load screen now lists this as "batch 1" of the best of cards. I'd like to see some of the good TOTS cards brought into the next batch.
That being said I'm now up near 600k after SB rewards. Could be 700k with some good luck. Assuming no good reds I've not got many big cards left to dump into things. So it may just be that one last big SBC and done.
This was always listed as batch 1.
I think they said it would either be 3 or 4 in total.
Pretty much all special cards will be re-released apart from TOTY.
Edit:
Some of the best Special Items from FUT 19 (excluding TOTY) will be re-released during FUTTIES! The players will be added to packs in 3 batches. The first batch will be released on July 3rd, the second batch on July 17th and the third batch, which will include some of the top players from the first two batches, will be released on July 31st.

Twitch pack:
Mings was the one that flashed when I opened it so was surprised to see Felipe.
Anderson should get a futties card
TOTW 81+/84+ upgrade SBC is here. This is much needed and has pushed the cost of Icons requiring IF cards right down. This has now flipped the problem over to rare golds going crazy in price. Sell up lads.
Eusebio is 1.8m and R10 is 1.75m. Vieira 1.4m.
The patch has also gone live. So I may try a few games tonight to see if I feel any improvement.
Telles and Sergio Biscuits as reds. Sweet FA in the packs.
Annoying really as it's not really added anything to my team or given me the funds to go big on something.
I can bring in 91 LW Mbappe, with Promes dropping back to the bench. There's also the option of bringing in CR7 for one last hurrah.
I'll try and do Bale with club items. I do really want Ribery to come back, though next best thing would be for Perisic to win the FUTTIES vote.
I was doing Bale but halfway through, i releaised I had Pepe TOTY on the bench already. With my 16 wins, I didnt get anyone over 92 rated or from the top 5 leagues.
OTW Boateng flashes, pack contains a 91 IF Eriksen. Nice one there.
That Alonso is back and pretty damn cheap.
Perisic wins but they've made him cost a fair whack for some reason.
4 TOTW cards, 2 x 86 squads and an 85. Why?
I haven't been on this for nearly a week now. It's quite pleasant.
450k. I mean, why though?
The pricing structure for SBC's this year has been quite farcical at times.
It's annoying because the card looks really good.
