Jammy bastard.
Odegaard from the La Liga TOTS pack.
Also packed Carvajal from one om my many premium upgrades pack.
Quite a nice evening.
A 6m pull has to be a record for TTH.
I know I packed TOTY Messi on 18 but I think he was around 4m.
Outrageous Trance.
Finally got one in the upgrades. Argentina .... oh fuck you Ocampos..... yep Ocampos.
Packing him pushed me to do the La Liga SBCs as I could use Bale in it. I got Santi.
Just a bit better than my Illeramendi
I do like his 89 (kept him and pitched Mariano)
Ooh, cheers Danny. Forgot I had his 89, so that's another card I can put into an SBC.
His TOTS looks absolute filth with an Engine. It might see Ronaldo sent to the bench.
Got this from that SBC:

Also, I realised that Ocampos is an awesome RB with a Sentinel, so he'll slot in there, replacing Semedo, and Moreno will move up to RM.

Start that way or is that in game?
Richarlison upfront, Fernandinho left CAM, Lineker right CAM and Eusebio in CM gets everyone on full chem. Except Ramos of course.
Start and game.
Never thought about that.
Obscene team.
Or just swap Saul for Fernandinho and then swap Gary with Richarlison
Bought Ocampos.
Still first owner, but for 44,250 I couldn't resist for use later on down the line.
I need that TOTS Hakimi in my life. Perfect attacking full back.
When does the league SBC get updated?
Some point this week, but the days have been a bit random so far.
I need to get Paderborn ready to tip in, but assuming the 4 players I need will cost a bomb now. Hope I can pack some in the silvers I have in store.
Niederlechner from a league SBC pack.
Might sell this one before his price tanks even more.
Benzema isn't as good as I hoped overall. His finishing is on another level entirely, but he feels a little sluggish in possession and even with his high pace stats he still seems to be towing a caravan at times. Get him in possession within about twenty five yards and it's going in the top corner though.
That's disappointing, assume you have an engine on him?
Just jumped back on FIFA and Perisic 87 is now unuseable. He is so slow its embarassong. I know cards need to have agility and balance but he wasn't this awful when he was fresh. I read a theory that EA makes older cards worse as the game goes on. Bundesliga TOTS isnt that great at all, espeixally especially. Those german CB have little pace .
I think the older cards just feel so bad due to the ridiculous level most of the new cards are at. Any of the shittest TOTS would have been great cards on release of the game.
But just having the ball at the player's feet should never feel different. I haven't played for a good month now. How good your opponent's card feel changes all the time. Your own players should never change.
That Quaison card is wank.
The only thing I dont like about it is the 33
Everything else looks good and with an engine he looks like he could be very good. Having just done Witsel I wont be sinking more coins into the Bundesliga though.
M/M and, as you say, 3/3, kills him.
Didnt see the MM. I remember using his IF to do the Verstaete objectives and he felt pretty good then.
That's Witsel and Maddison done.
'Dutch Delivery' might be the worst objective they've ever done.
Quincy promes on the right hand side and the R1/RB cross.
I got it done in two games
Thanks for the tip. I keep forgetting about the low cross, every time crossing obectives come up.
Just got one one with Promes whipping balls onto Axel Witsel.
Benzema is sick by the way, to the point where I should probably sell Ronaldo, but with 784 goals I'm quite attached to him.
4 segments for a 92 Coutinho. Probably around 650-700k in total.
Changing my mind on Quaison, largely because he'll link to Ibra, who I'll be buying a version of.
Cant believe Ronaldo is down at 300k
I am 3 wins away from Sabitzer. Probably need a midfield reshuffle if I am to use him.
FB Witsel, Birthday Havertz and Obj Verstraete my three right now and I really like the latter.
Thinking I will wait until I see the Nos player objectives before cracking on.
Bought TOTSSF Cazorla for 160k. Looks immense, can't wait to give him a whirl.
Did 6 of those Bundesliga upgrades and got Tah, Perisic and Burki from them. Piss poor.
I had a tight weekend for time so I ended up playing 17 games on the trot deep into Monday morning which really screwed up my productivity yesterday. Ended up 14-10 and will have 2 picks at least on Thursday, which is perfect considering I've used Bundesliga players all year in my Weekend League squad in one way or another. It probably should have been 14-8, but I managed to waste chance after chance against a really dire opponent who stole it late with Mbappe. That was probably the fatigue kicking in at that point.
The team I used for the weekend is below. Probably the last time I use this squad considering the various TOTS upgrades that I already have in the club/on the bench, and the players I want to get this week. First on the shortlist is the 93 Witsel, who I need to complete before 6pm.
I'd also love the TOTS Werner and Kimmich. 90 Werner has been unreal over the past few months, and I could comfortably afford the TOTS, but it seems like a lot of coins to put into one position. If I don't pack Kimmich, or get him in the red picks, I will go out and buy him. The Player Moments version has been my favourite midfielder to use in the game, but I'm a little worried the work rate change could make the TOTS play differently.
I never ever do the repeatable SBCs but decides to do tao of the Bundesliga ones and in two pulls I got Reus and Hakimi.
I have been away from the game for a while, and im 100% sure you get better pack luck, the longer you stay away from the game.
Nkunku is the BuLi SBC player. Looks like a great allrounder - good with multiple different chemistry styles as a DM or with a Sniper going forwards.
Great player to get - I just have to submit Paderborn and he’s in my squad. Did Witsel earlier and that’ll give me a 3 man Bundesliga midfield of Kimmich, Witsel and Nkunku.
Yeah, I had it prepped too - just got him now.
Ridiculous amount of BuLi CMs at this point in the game.
That card looks great but I dont think I could justify it with Birthday Haverz, TOTS Sabitzer, FB Witsel and Objectives Verstraete as my 4 current options.
Tried him out last night in Rivals - first game and he provided 2 early assists to Thuram, and my opponent had quit inside 30 minutes. Excited to try him in the Weekend League.
He'll be going straight back into an SBC for me. Although I will get him to keep eventually.
I find it very hard to still submit those league SBC players into other SBCs. Stupid I know, but the only ones I'm happy to chuck in are the Libertadores/Sudamericana players.
Yesterday I was umming and ahhing about sticking 87 Verdi, a player I have not used yet and someone who is behind 87 Gervinho in terms of Serie A left wingers, into the Witsel SBC.
Verdi's proper crap and you can just get them again.
I must have rinsed all of the major league's players dozens of times now.
Yeah, I stuck him in eventually and submitted it. I barely use any of the league SBC cards in my various squads but I have this strange loyalty to all the SBC cards in the club. It's probably why I'm sitting on 2.8m coins and still using a full untradeable team. Some sort of sentimental attachment to the cards from all manner of promos.
