Will change to an UEL card but still
Will change to an UEL card but still
Did the TOTW once just for the sake of it. 76 Fosu from Oxford I believe. I don't think that could've gone any worse than it did.
It's absolutely one to avoid. There must be so many dead cards in it.
I'm going to do the UCL one against my better judgement mind.
That's the Championship Squad Battles icon objective done. Annoyingly took me 6 games, but did discover Badou Ndiaye who is awesome. Runs quickly for days, reasonably strong and can dribble. 6 goals and 2 assists in the 6 games. Would recommend.
I had him in mine too. Him and Phillips were decent in midfield.
I packed some TOTW guy called Orsic this morning - why is he going for 90k His stats are ok, but he plays for a random team
Some youtubers are pushing his card. That's why.
Selling into the hype
Been whoring sqaud battles this weekend to get to the 200 win objecitve. Jumbo rare player pack, not even a fucking board. Fucking ripoff.
I may well hit that today and I'm absolutely expecting the same outcome.
That's 6 icon swap tokens done now, with the Squad Battles ones for the Turkish and Portuguese League ones done this afternoon.
Serious fatigue with it now, but if I do the Mexican league games as well I'll unlock the Jumbo Rare Pack and should finish Elite 1, so may well plough on.
Finished Elite 1 on Squad Battles in the end, would be nice to pack something tonight as I haven't had a sniff since Ronaldo.
Rare Mega Pack: IF Bouanga, 83 Pepe, Otamendi
Rare Gold Pack: IF Van De Beek, 84 Boateng
Rare Gold Pack: Nothing
Rare Mega Pack: Iago Aspas, Borja Iglesias, Kampl
I'll take that.
The fuck?
Rare Gold Pack: Jeison Murillo and a CF > CAM card
Rare Gold Pack: IF Telles
Prime Mixed Players: Cristian Tello
Gold Players Premium: UCL Meret
Telles saved it.
Reached 50 Rivals wins last night, unlocking a Premium Gold Players pack - managed to pull Parejo and IF Kryvtsov from it, should help towards the RTTF Konate SBC.
I got to 50 wins in the process of completing UEL Mbabu, so he's now in the squad as a stopgap until I unlock Zanetti. I've only done the Bundesliga wins so far, so a few more swaps to earn before he's unlocked.
they gave some silver objectives for playing squad battles on semi pro and your gawdamn right i did them on semi pro
Flashback Mata. Meh.
Should be a fun card this year though.
Got a load of absolute tripe in my rewards/packs.
Next year I'm just going to buy the cheapest version of the game and put the difference into points.
Given I spend more time playing Squad Battles than anything else I may skip next year.
But before Messi retires I'm going to go bd in points so I can have him from the beginning of the game.
He's been a bit pants in previous versions of the game hasn't he?
Seems to be the consensus that he and Mbappe are the best non-icons this year though.
He has been, so this year was probably the one to do it, but I'd already committed to first owner by the time I'd heard he was obscene.
That said, far too much is made of players. I've got Emre Can in my team (purely because of Ronaldo) as a CB in a 3-5-2 and he's absolutely fine. Sure he's not going to help me beat anyone who is better than me, but he's also not going to make me lose to anyone I'm better than.
Didn't bother at all with squad battles last week, other than to play one game for an objective. Got two standard gold packs as my rewards. Perisic from one, Sirigu from the other. Not bad at all.
16 Swaps in. I hate this shit. I am always so indecisive
Really struggling to decide who to go for as well. Got 5 tokens left to get to take me to the 12 left available, but can’t decide who to pick.
It should probably be Nesta, but that’s so dull.
Team above, any suggestions?
I am tempted by Giggs for the 90s nostalgia, even though he looks relatively crap.
I'm in the same boat. Up to 14 tokens now, finished off the Prem online wins last night, a last minute 4-3 win being the highlight. Zanetti is still the target, but having used UEL Mbabu, he's already pretty fantastic there which has put some doubt in my mind.
Shame Ballack is 14 Yev, because he looks like he'd have slotted in well to your team above. I've heard ok things about Kluivert if you wanted to go 2 up top.
I have seen a few reviews on Giggs, the consensus seemed to be that he wasn’t quick enough to play out wide (hunter/engine maybe help that) but that his positioning is incredible, his passing his very good and hit shooting is good. Don’t remember what was said about dribbling but it looks good on the stats.
I can get him on 8 chem instead of Ozil (but in the CM slot) I think so I may well go for that.
I've been experimenting with three at the back formations. It really does not work. You need to have at least four defenders. If you do anything other than having full-backs, on stay back. You are going to get exposed.
Depends what level you play to and if you focus solely on results. I find 3 at the back or marauding full backs fun so I go with it.
A fucking kit SBC.
Gnabry looks alright/possibly value, but does anyone need another right sided midfielder?
Could be a decent option for your side tbf. Hyperlink to Goretzka, go Pep instead of Giggs and he can slot into the middle giving everyone chem. Likely means dropping Ozil though to get Ronaldo chem but then everyone is full from the above.
Vazquez at RB on 7 is an option if you just have your wingbacks bombing on.
Stick with this:
Or start with this:
And then change to a 4-2-2-2 with Gnabry and Martial as the wide attacking mids. I could even do Mata, start him at striker then switch him and Martial although I'm not sure he'll be that effective as a wide attacking mid.
Also that kit is for Poland's independence day which was last Monday...
Just realized his work rates aren’t great for it. Even if he can run for days.
Mahow, that second team looks so much better. I used Mata for a few games yesterday, seemed pretty good but a little weak. Could be a good option cutting in on the right with Gnabry on the left.
3 goals in his debut as well as an assist against a bad SB team on legendary. He's absolutely electric.
Never judge a player on squad battles.
Toko Ekambi is off to some start for me, with seven goals in three games. He's like if Suarez was fast.
Genuinely thinking about diving into WL for the first time this year.
FIFA apparently bringing Copa Libertadores to the game
Finally no more "Buenos Aires" as it seems they got Boca licensed somehow
That Paulinho will be filth on 10 chem.
Agreed, absolutely no way I can get him into my team though.
Hunter and shadow chems now have a max BIN of 25k...
I have one of each but sadly they're untradeable.
Toby from tradeable.
