3 games down and 0 goals for Leeds
Need them to go crazy against Fulham and Sheffield United.

Sassuolo need 1 more goal to give Caputo a bump. Still 30 mins to go.
That's Caputo going to 89 on Wednesday. Now if Hertha could score 4 goals...
That should be 1 card saved either way.
Did they hand out Red Ronaldo’s like confetti that fucking week? Seem to be facing him in every game. Madness.
86 Zahavi from the second red player pick is nice. Will leave the last win needed for Gold 1 until Sunday and try to get some Rivals wins in before then to get me back up to Rank 1 in D2 as well. This weeks changes cost me a lot of coin, so I need to have a decent Thursday this coming week to reposition.
Rudiger v Lemar in the latest showdowns. Both an 83 and 85. Probably an easy pass on both cards for me.
Same. Rudiger was a bit OP early on but at this point he is a pass for me.
Yeah, both pointless cards at this stage really.
Back on to finally finish Ruben Neves and hopefully Messi.

Oddly, I’m not seeing my FUT Champs objective for scoring in 200 game with a squad of rares moving on the tracker - I’m stuck on 155, where I was before this weekend.
Similarly, the FUT Champs one isn’t moving either.
Yet my whole team is special cards - anyone know if there’s a bug on these?
Edit - found the bug.
Ffs.
Is it PIM cards not counting? Mine has also not budged since I put Deco in.
I had a spare hour last night so I've put a little dent in. Up to 4-1. I(hopefully) wont be playing near all 30 games so I put my mental 4-3-3 back on and it's been a blast. The loss was a strange one. My opponent was okay, but his Neymar seemed glitched. I couldn't catch him with Mbabu and also couldn't push him off the ball with him or Boateng. He scored 3 goals from moments where I'd thought I'd won the ball already.
In further evidence of this account now being cursed, my Party Bag was full of sick - an 83 Dumfries.
I mean the card itself is a good Dutch League RB, but it's really not what you want to see.
I think it's about as bad as it could have been. Not even a walkout.
Big fan of him stepping up and getting an upgrade when he's about to go in the team.
Messi in.
I'm 4/6 on him now. Submitted the 85 + IF and got Icardi and Haaland back so I am still technically in profit. I've essentially saved 700-800k or so on it so far.
Good work.
82-88 out. Much needed for party bag/cavani/Messi grind
But that prime icon pack is going to fuck any fodder that has to be bought.
Why do they do this?
To make FIFA21 contain the most accessible icon programme yet!
Bronze and silver upgrades.
Back on, not sure what for.

So... do I go and buy up the expensive fodder now set for Thursday?
You've got ages left to do Messi, it'll go back down again.
I might have to do another Prime icon...
IFs and 83s have risen hugely.
Mbappe, Eusebio and Messi up front is genuinely perfect.
Nep is playing all 30 games tonight, currently 15-3. The rage should be amusing.
I told myself I'd put Klopp ball on full send tonight and give it a go. Sundays are usually a bastard for me so I might as well go down swinging. I went from 4-1 yesterday right up to 13-1. I hasn't even realised it either.
But I'm sure when you're 1 away from these milestones the difficulty goes up. Out came the mega squads. By this point my eyes were going too as I've been up since 4am. I wasn't getting drawn into any long battles. I just wanted my win. I lost 1 game agonisingly late late on, but then the next 3 people pumped in goals early against me. On another weekend I'd stay and fight.
Then after that I won the ball pressing from kick off to score within 5 mins and the opponent quit. 14-5. Considering my tactics and tiredness I'm okay with that. Had a blast winning my way too. One game was mental. 6-6 AET. He scored in the 93rd min to take it to extra time and I scored in the 122nd to take it to pens. He was hopeless at them and only scored one.
I played POTM Messi once and he tore me a new asshole, so I am very keen to get him in for this week. He seems like a fly on the ball.
Yeah, every new card type they release has to be fixed before it counts towards those objectives.
Cracking day on the game yesterday. Finished Messi and the icon swap objectives I had left to do, which just leaves me Pastore to work on this week. Think the current Silver Star isn't worth bothering with and the Dutch and Championship milestones can wait until I can double up with something while doing them (which may be harder as you now need 11 players for both).
Not interested in either of the Showdown SBC's, Cavani or the two Icon ones, so I can now just go on a huge pack grind for whatever promo comes next, which is made 50% easier with those bronze and silver upgrades.
If I buy this game next year I'll be going first owner and no FP from the off and aiming to stick religiously to only doing SBC's if they're of a quality to take you to TOTS (like Son's PotM) or they're a player I have a soft spot for (like Rooney). Very curious to see how much one can accumulate doing so.
I guess it depends on how much you want to go balls deep into trading. Seems like there's still opportunities to be made with it, but I'm never quite focussed enough to get into it. I made a decent amount at the start (amusingly through trading...err, paint) but haven't bothered as much for a while. I think IF players seem to be the key thing to go in for, even if you have to hold them for a while you'll eventually make a profit once the right SBC rolls around.
I absolutely hate trading, but holding IFs has worked really well for me this year so I'd probably just always do that.
So I've just logged on and I have a fuck ton of packs in store that weren't there last night. Have they reissued them to people for some reason?
Reward packs? Or something else?
These look like the ones I was opening when I posted this:
Which even for EA and their shitty drop rates was the worst run I've ever had on the game.
Can only assume the drop rates were fucked for some reason. I got about 16 back, all high end ones. Need to check the web app to see them all as I'm at 49 packs now, from the 33 I thought I had last night.
Is it some Player Days thing maybe? Or a "sorry our QA staff ran amok and started selling black market goods"? I've got nothing
I think they'd only reissue that many if there was an issue with them when players opened them, e.g. the drop rates were lower than they should have been, which is consistent with my quoted post above.
I've got something along the lines of this lot back:
7 Jumbo Premium Players (50k pack)
2 Small Rare Gold Players Pack
2 Rare Players Pack
4 Jumbo Rare Players Packs
1 Ultimate Pack
In fact, that's exactly what I've got back.
Nothing for me unfortunately.
I tried a new formation to start this WL in order to fit some new players in the team. It ended up being a 3-4-1-2 to incorporate Neymar, WIF Marcelo, WIF Armstrong and Flashback Kroos, and it was a bit bonkers to say the least. Chance creation was not an issue but defensively, I was all over the shop. I conceded 24 goals in 5 games, going 2-3 to start the weekend, and interestingly, my pass completion percentage was on the floor, in the low 70s. I presumed it was more down to the formation rather than the players, especially as I was using great passing players in the middle like Kroos and 88 Gundogan (yes I did him immediately).
It was a decent experiment, but I wasn't enjoying it too much so switched back to the team I've been using for the past 3 weeks, and went 9-2 to finish up 11-5 last night. Much better control of the games, and felt like I was dominating opponents constantly. Not to mention the pass completion was back in the high 80s or low 90s for each game. Milinkovic-Savic really is the real deal in the middle of the park.
Biscuits looks like a nice card but I won’t be investing that coin in him.
Weird him and Cavani have had such short SBC times yet Muller is still there
You have to think Biscuits is there purely for those who have done/are planning to do Messi.
"Struggling for links? Here you go but you better do it fast..."
Muller is still there?
Back on the grind.

He's here for another 10 days.
Absolutely loving the bronze and silver upgrade packs being back, burning through the league SBC's as a result.
In an unexpected turn of events EA fucked up when giving packs back.
Seems quite a few streamers/content creators are using PIM Kluivert (Boras is even using him as a CM) and he does look quite tasty with an Engine.
I've done his loan for some Rivals games tomorrow and if I like him (I'll be using him to replace Zola as my LAM) I'll be crafting him.
