You could try telling Tav to join the attack and overlap if your CDMs both sit and Klostermann does too.

Been getting through the Reinier objectives - I think now might be the best time to go for it as a) people have generally been pretty nice (letting you score with the 82 or have the win if you've got the 85). The later you leave it the less likely that'll be. Two wins to go and then I just need the goals/games.
Played some guy earlier who I was letting through to score and he scored with some non-Reinier player. Ended up beating him 10-2 as punishment
The requirements for that new SBC.
Why is it that this game really only does extremes?
Before the ref would be really shit at letting a final attack in and now they're far too lenient.
I was winning 3-2 in extra time and 1 minute was added on. I got the ball and played it down the line thinking it would call the attack as done and thus the match. No, my opponent picked it up drove forward, my defence parts like the red sea he takes a bad touch in the box and the AI gives a penalty.
90 seconds after the whistle was meant to be blown he sends it to a shootout.
Thankfully I won 4-2 but they seem to play on for at least double the amount stated every single game.
Pass. Looks like a decent card but not worth that cost to replace RB Denayer or Freeze Volland
Will cause a nice price spike for Kamara if anyone has him.
FFS Oscar from a three common gold upgrade pack.
Yev, are you keeping players from FIFA 20's league SBCs that haven't been added to 21?
I'm still sitting on loads of Liga NOS and Japanese league (I think they were 19 though) players.
Surely they're not adding any new leagues from here?
Nope, I'm rinsing through everything that doesn't have a league SBC at the moment. They're so easy to re-stock should I need to I didn't see the point keeping them all. Also means you can open bronze and silver upgrade packs with far fewer dupes.
That's Reinier done. Actually quite enjoyed that team and none of the objectives were that onerous.
Ended up with some decent fodder out of the packs + MM too: Oblak, Koulibaly, Chielini of note.
Worked my way up to the 85 this afternoon. Will do the other one over slowly over the next week or so. Hopefully be able to combine with something else.
If nothing else then I'm going to try and crack on through the MLS and Champ objectives while everyone's playing this. If you haven't done the Dutch one then you can stick him up top with Neres + Antony, for example
I didnt realize that it would count the games with the lower ones towards the "Play 25 with Reinier in your squad". On reflection I should have figured it out but I just assumed it said 85 version. That means I should only have to play another 18 games with him starting, assuming I can do the other objectives (which I imagine I will be able to).
I would be even further along if I didnt use his 78 as a sub when doing the objectives in SBs so I could make sure I kept plugging away at the silver milestones.
@Raoul 100%, this is perfect for people who havent completed the other league stuff. Shame I have done it all
Decided to do some league SBCs and I hit Kane in one pack followed by Ramos in the very next one.
Finished Serie A and Salah plus De Gea were in the Jumbo Rare Players pack.
First world problems I know, but I'm bored of my team and I miss the grind. I don't want to start another ultimate team as the feeling won't last forever so what I'm going to do is recycle all golds 81 or under, every off league common bronze and all off league silvers through 81+ picks until I have none of them left. Then I'm going to record how many coins I have and 'start again' on this save with whatever I get from opening five bronze packs.
If any amazing SBC's come along I can dip into what's left in the club/the ringfenced coins to do them, I just won't be able to use them in this team.
The grind is back on and I now care about getting Reinier's 82.
The 81+ PP expires today, doesn't it?
Tomorrow I think.
Just packed another Dalot while cleaning house. 4,802,402 coins on hand, so 4.8m and 6 bronze packs. Shame I've already got the 78 Reinier, but oh well.
Right, let's see what six bronze packs gets you.

I raced out to a 4-0 start yesterday but today I have faced 5-3-2 in every game and was pegged back to 4-3.
I decided to try it having struggled so much myself against it and I think I'm now 8-3. It's just silly how good it is at beating people on the counter.
And so ends the reign of Ter Stegen.
To replace him Neuer comes back in, however this time it's his TOTY version. Played 2 games with him and he made no mistakes and we conceded no goals. I'm sure he'll go at some point as having 430k tied up in a keeper is a bit much and I'm sure he'll make mistakes a plenty too.
11-8 (I'm consistent), not sure if I should push to 14 or call it a week and just hammer some SBCs.
Josh Maja as the silver stars on Wednesday?
2 goals on his first league start for Fulham.
Sold Kimpembe in favour of that Todibo and the latter is a beast from what I’ve played with him so far.
Ending the weekend on 11-6, pretty happy with that off the back of a break of 3 months.
Had bugger else to do so got another 10 games in, winning 6 to take me to 17-10 and Gold 2. Nailed rank 1 by a mile in D3 so I’m looking forward to rewards day and all its disappointment now.
I had a terrible run last night. I’d decided when I submitted that I’d want 17 wins this weekend but went into Sunday only 4-0.
This is when I figured out two things. Firstly, the 5-3-2 is a right bastard and secondly, if the Mrs watches Netflix while I’m playing, only pain awaits. But I didn’t have the early hours so I had to soldier on.
I lost 2 penalty shootouts and 3 games in extra time. It was vile to lose close game after close game.
Still I ended on an okay 17-11. My worst weekend for a while and it may prompt me to take a weekend off while I figure this 5-3-2 bollocks out. It just seemed to decimate me on the counter.
The shite in that party bag
Might still do it
Thommo has been watching Zwe and relaying back the stuff he's opened, it's not pretty.
However, I am kind of tempted.
I like an SBC as much as the next man, but the 84 rating, the two IFS, the ridiculous chemistry and the inclusion of fucking OTW's make this utterly horrific.
Back on on the Cuc' and got a half decent first owner team (certainly Managerial Masterpiece competitive) since starting with 6 bronze packs yesterday.

Falcao from the party bag.
Played up to unlocking the 84 Cucurella. Bonus win of the night is getting Benzema out of a 75+ pack
FUTBIN is predicting a TOTW Ferland Mendy as a CB card. Lord help us all.
Got a duplicate Lenglet from one of the 75+ Rated packs, which together with my recovered dupe untradeable Dalot I did the party bag.
Got OTW Thomas Partey. Crap, but useable.
I did the bag and got Headliners Oyarzabal. The second 88 Oyarzabal in my club with his POTM.
On the academy players I am up the 85 Reinier and the 82 Cucurella. I have 18 games left in which I need to start Reinier (along with his objs) and once I finish the 82 stuff I will have 22 left to start Cucarella in. I am going to shoehorn him into my MM side and just get his games in that way.
I can then continue to use my silvers in SB, work towards those milestones while bringing him off the bench and hammering through his stuff. Probably the most efficient way to double down get through it all.

I just finished West Brom, using one tradeable player, 6k on ANM and untradeables.
Flashback El Shaarawy for the serious nostalgia trip. Looks good, but not quite the level you'd really be wanting to chuck 280k at.
I also see they've brought back the extra WL picks. Either they're fishing for more players to play, or this TOTW is horrid.
I dont see him as a 280k upgrade on Deulofeu. Esp when I am not a 5* skiller and dont have that nostalgia around him.
https://www.futbin.com/21/compare/28665/26716
My Klostermann probably not getting upgraded
Draxler at 75k about to get upgraded twice.
Got some FS Ecuadorean LB geezer out of an Ultimate Pack that I got for playing Squid Battles. Looks...ok. Also some other decent fodder (Aguero and some others).
Up to the 86 in Cucurella-ella-ella now. Just got to plough through the remaining games with some assists, so should have that finished up in the next day or so.
EDIT: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...aarawy_offers/ - tradeable pack in the El Shawarwry (?) SBC

I must not do his SBC. I must not do his SBC. I must not do his SBC.
Ooh, I have him.
Bit of Cuc grinding. https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
Have they done these Weekend League Plus objectives before? Look grand, bit annoyed it’s not last week when I’d have had 2/3, not sure I’ll get on as much this weekend.
They did one a few weeks back.
I'm not going to bother with Champs this weekend as I need a break. Unless this TOTW is special.
From a three gold common players pack.
I thought I had hit Camavinga for a second.
Edit: As Thommo has just told me, it can't have been Camavinga
