Nepenthez's confusion over 'what this promo is about' as if much thought ever goes into any of them, is amusing.

I don't get it what it's about. However, I do kind of like the execution and they've used some cool/unique players.
From a double 81+ upgrade pack.
My 81+ double pick was Maguire and Icardi.
Just played someone in One Nation who went 1-0 up and paused for me. I stayed on and played obviously.
When I made it 3-1 I decided to pause for him but he kept on playing. By the 85th minute it was 6-1 and then with 10 seconds left on the clock he boots the ball out for a throw in so he can quit.
I think I broke him with this world class goal:
I'm doing exactly the same when someone pauses for me. They get me not quitting and full toxic cele's after that.
I usually quit at 2-0 but if someone pauses for me, I'm staying in until the end.
I had someone go 3-0 up earlier (he paused after each goal). I made it 3-1 and paused for him, he then made it 4-1 and he was so triggered that he did the shush/can't hear running celebration combo. When I made it 4-2 he decided to play keep ball between his defenders.
Afterwards he sent me a message saying "That's what you get for not playing golden goal". Gave me a good chuckle.
I've turned receiving messages from non friends off and I love the thought of some toxic weasel going to send me one then realising they can't.

When Smalling gets his upgrade I think I will give this a bash in some rivals games. Not true CDM option that I can see thats English (pass on Henderson) so Kante will do.
Grealish out right, Beckham box to box and Rooney CAM in game.
I'd stick AWB/Gomez in at CB. Shit, I'd put anyone in ahead of that gurning gimp
After falling asleep while streaming I finally finished the French league SBC this morning before work.
Also got something good from a major league SBC pack for the first time in ages. What IF Leiva (who is cheap but will be a pretty solid CDM as a 90) and Ter Stegen.
The latter goes straight into the final squad I have left to do for Messi (the 88). After getting nothing useful over the weekend the last 24 hours have been cracking. Finished the 89 squad last night and now just need 2 86s, 1 87, 2 88s and an 89 to finish the little genius.
Did a few 81 double upgrades with dupes I had on the transfer list and I am now three players (an 88 and two 89s) away from Messi.
I think as punishment for this unnecessary trolling you should be forced to play with him at the back for WL
I got Lloris and Bonucci out of that freebie pack but both dupes, so need them to release a decent SBC I want to chuck them into. Nothing out at the moment interests me.
Nice to see TOTY Davies coming down in price. Around 1.5m at the moment...if he keeps coming down I might have enough to pick him up if I sell some fodder/make a bit.
I dont subject myself to that anyway. Never mind with the chuckle brothers.
New Champ milestones are out.
And 83 with an IF and an 84 is robbery for that Armstrong.
Good robbery or bad robbery? Because I wasnt sure how I felt when I was it but was leaning positive.
He looks decent but who really needs him (especially if you have Rooney). I held off doing the Champ first go around but will try and get through it now. Assume it'll be in the next Icon swaps
Bad. It's awful value and they're just trying to get people to do it because of strong Rooney links.
It's shocking.
Actually, I quite like it.
It's expensive though mind.
He's an ok card that's double the price he should be due to the Rooney link.
100k for that is ok. It’s proper rare in being a strong link to Rooney, who is class, and looks to be an upgrade on Vardy for me - if I sell Vardy that’s 150k or so back in the club too. My concern is that Blackburn are utter shite, particularly when it comes to scoring, so he’s got a good chance at being locked at 85.
Alex Sandro looking like he will remain an 87 but Felipe Anderson heading for an 88.
Dortmund 1-0 up vs Seville (4-2 on aggregate). RIP Kounde RTTF
Time to buy Brandt incase they upgrade the wrong one again
Just played someone in One Nation.
He went 1-0 up and paused for me, I then made it 1-1 and paused for him but he decided to fight on.
I then made it 3-1 before he pulled one back. By the 90th minute it was 5-2 and he hoofed the ball out and paused waiting the full time. I then made it 6-2 just before the whistle and he's been berating me on messages.
"u leave after golden goal you sausage" being my personal favourite.
Productive day. 9k XP, 86 Cucarella, 84 Fofana, 66% done on Neves.
Makes up for godawful pack pulls.
I have both
More packs with coins.

Did the guaranteed WIF today and got another Yuri.
Think I'll have to quick sell and recover later as I'm so low on fodder right now.
I was only deemed worthy of the lesser pack for time played so nothing of note from it for me.
The path to Messi has also become a bit more clear. I've ticked off the 86 squad now so I'm halfway done, but have the 89, 88 and 85 IF squad left. I only needed to buy 1 Immobile to get to this point, for the last squad and I ended up getting back 2 x discard IF in the pack along with some pretty decent silvers. I've also yet to use anything I'll remotely miss putting in.
I'm obviously minus some fodder, but in terms of coins I'm actually still in profit from doing this so far. Obviously with the 2 squads ahead that should soon change.
I can tick one of the two big boys off with just objective and SBC cards I just don't use now. Though now we do get into the realms of losing something I may miss. The idea for now is to do this and then buy the other squad with coins. Currently I've 210k and that will be up hopefully close to 350k after rewards day.
The 85 squad should take care of itself in time. Any high rated reds or pack pulls of 84/85 are going into that SBC.
I've yet to hit that point of no return where I'm committed to doing the full thing, but it's close now. The 81+ double upgrades keep churning back 81s and 82s at me which has slowed progress a little, but that 89 SBC is currently 610k. So being over halfway there soon is good motivation. I would hope for some 87+ pulls though. There's 1 or 2 special cards currently as placeholders in the top squad I'd really rather not use, but I will if I really have to.
I know its Fifa but when did the best ever Cantona have 91 pace.
Back on in pursuit of the three more cards I need to finish Messi.

So EA employee(s) have been selling PIM and TOTY's for cash.
Amazing.
Lovely stuff. Hardly surprising that this is going on, temptation when you're some lowly content admin to earn a decent wedge out of it
The Silver Star this week is useless.
South African from the Liga Nos? Pass.
Ill do it to continue the silver milestone grind but yeah that a terrible one.
Fat Lad Shaw in TOTW again though
Did a coupe of the 83+ packs as I had some duplicates to get rid of and got IF Casemiro and Handanovic out of them
Gamble didn't pay off.
Should have taken the 390k pre-game.
Klostermann down to 285k (although I've seen undercuts as low as 275k) but I think I'll keep mine to sell tomorrow as I don't think he'll lose too much more as he's still a really good card.
Edit: He's back up to 300k already.

I did Armstrong and managed to get him and Rooney into the team. He feels rapid. Two goals and assist in the first game that only lasted 60 mins.
Klostermann seems to be hovering around 340k right now which isn't bad. That's how much I paid for him ages ago so losing out on tax for all the games I played with him is an ok outcome.
Hopefully he might even rise a little tomorrow or the day after as people buy for Rivals.
Also, I did do Armstrong today. I still feel he's overpriced but I couldn't fit my dupe Yuri into a Joe Hart solution as my club is too bare right now.
Managed to get thought most of the EFL stuff today. Need two wins, a finesse and then to sit through 9 games.
Just had a game where the other person got DC'd and it didnt count for the win (4-0 up) but counted for games. Ugh.
Nothing to shout about with the rewards. Kaderabek and Shaw as my reds. 100k pack number 1 showed me a walkout but it was a fraud one and was De Vrij. Everything else was 82 rated or lower. Yuck. Pack 2 was better. Another walkout, but it ended up being Pique. Behind him were Bonnuci and Gnabry though so that's not so bad.
Even though I have had no luck from the upgrades I chucked the shite through them. Ended up with a Witsel which along with the earlier pulls, completes the 85 + IF, though for now I could ideally use another 86 to not use that special Dos Santos card.
I also had 9 or so useless 82s, so they went into the 83+ and out walks Jan Oblak. Massive help towards the top squad. I now could actually submit that one too, but that is packed full of special and objective cards. Some of which I'd like to give a go at saving.
I've 320k to back that up so in theory I am almost there. Though I doubt it happens this week.
