Very very nice! You smashed that.
Alisson being dirt cheap means you made the right calls.

Indeed! Very happy with that. But as I've said before, the difference in getting up to that 14 wins can literally be millions of coins. What's more daft is even if you hit 19 wins, you're still only really guaranteed 1 more red pick. Your 3 Prem TOTS could be the shitters.
Managed to 3/3 the prem cup and got a blue Trent out of the 84+ pick, to go with my red Trent. I've got some nice fodder building up now and I reckon I could quite easily do Kane without spending anything.
That Foden could be a game changer depending on how they rate him. Lean body type at 5"7. If they juice him to a 93/94 he'll be great, but get him to 96+ and he'll be nuts. His TOTYHM card looks very usable even now.
I have that Foden and haven’t been too impressed with it. Never got past Bernardo’s RTTK (mad how good that was that early) for me in the CAM role.
Having used red Bruno for the Prem Cup he's really like an EPL Messi.
EA have just announced the rebrand of the game as EA Sports FC.
That Foden price
TOTS Bernard O'Silva from the 84+ Prem PP
Quite disappointing that Foden is only 92. As said before how they rated him would have a big say on how good he is. He looks about just not worth the coin. I do need to put dupes into one of these English boys though. I'm thinking Kane?
As for Bernardo I've taken him into Rivals and I wasn't fair to him before. He's easily the best CAM I've used this year. Even benched Mboopay for him.
Cancelo is about the best card overall I've used. Problem is he's so good at everything, tying him down to a position is hard.
Bernardo is filth
I have to do something with my dupes too because I want to open some more packs before Friday
Did the EFL TOTS pack, and got my boy Wilson
His Headliners was a beast back in the day. Just a few more pieces to add to finish off the ultimate Fulham P+P squad...
Oof. Nice one. Did you do Gomez in the end?
Nope. I was getting to the point of completing him, but then big Virg makes Gomez pretty pointless. Him and Dias have just lolled at people in the Prem Cup.
I've had a couple of dupe Rodris so ended up doing Kane and I've him finished for free. I figured of he and Foden, Kane was the one I needed most. I'll see later what the EPL TOTS Guarantee brings, but there's a very high chance of a dupe. I've got 7/15 of the team already.
The one that would help me most, assuming there's no forwards, would be Cancelo.
I also really need Kroos to go up in price now. I want to buy Son/KDB.
Nice. I've really liked Dias when I've used him - awesome defensively.
Yeah, Cancelo is my number 1 who I'd want, outside of the forwards
Starting to sell the odd one or two each rotation for lazy buyers now. 'mon.
Opened the EFL TOTS guarantee and much to Thommas fury I got Mitrovic from it.
Whilst not technically a dupe I need to deal with, I did get a Bernardo again. I'm just glad I avoided the Spanish flag.
Dupe Bernardo for me
Come on Danny complete the set.
From a quick watch of some shareplays it seems it's take your pick of the Portugal players. If you're really unlucky you'll be Rodri'd and I saw one guy get KDB. Not one got any of the proper big boys.
Did it, Alisson. Absolute waste of time.
That Kroos price starting to go up and a few more have sold now.
Looking at being around 1.7m should they all go for 23k each. Only a modest profit if so, but the card hasnt rebounded like I'd hoped.
Did the 83x5...another fucking Bernardo
They really really want you to use him!
If you're struggling, Kane gets my vote. Get an engine on him and he's great. His finishing is second to none.
I've got Cantona and CR7 up front so I might get Alli and switch to a 4222. Sancho has been getting on my nerves recently, seems to have been nerfed
Didnt realise you hadn't done him.
He's great if you play him as a 3 man midfield, or in a 2 with a Kante/Lahm/Vieira type sweeping up as the other.
I mainly play 4-2-2-2 with one of the forwards set to drop off and I've been using Alli as that player and it's great. Amazing strength to hold the play up, perfect passing almost and you can aim corners at him as he wins everything in the air.
TOTS walkout from the 83 x 5 and I now have about my 5th Rodri to try and put somewhere.
83 x 5 was awful, but the 80+ has been great -
TOTS Bernardo Silva
TOTS Declan Rice
IF Stirling
Varane
Ndidi
Lukaku
Thiago
Pope
That's the entire haul so far, have passed up Kane twice as well.
Packed my first ever hero. Keane. Already used and SBC'd him (into Mbappe I think) a while back.
Another Trent to finish the night. One sitting in the gulag and one sitting dupe untradeable.
The level of dupes from promos this year has been absolutely shocking. Clearly a way to bump up the published odds of packing a promo card while making the ones people actually want harder than ever to pack.
Honestly I cannot understand the luck you cunts seem to get.
I've gone through 175-ish packs this week, admittedly about 60 have been single rare player packs, but I haven't got a single TOTS. And that's not to mention the endless recycling of dupes into the various player picks. Fuming.
And just as you say that I came in here to say I'm now stuck. I managed to dump dupe Rodri into the 50th Nkunku POTM and recycling the resultant non/rares brought me another dupe Rice.
There's pretty much nothing out there I want to put him into. Foden seems the obvious choice, but not only is he madly overpriced, I have Bernardo Silva(x 2) who is much better in everything bar pace.
Beyond that there's the Icons, but given the recent upgrades to the team, none of them are any better than what I already have.
Had 4 draft tokens to use and ended up doing 2 runs to the final so far, but the dupes were piling up so with Nkunku already done there was really only Foden to do, so I've now ticked him off.
I did have stacks of rare golds a couple of days ago but I now have none to speak of. I think that's content done for Prem TOTS done though. While it is German TOTS next, there wont be much in there for me. I only have said Nkunku and Cali to link to.
EDIT: As I type this they only release a reasonably priced CR7 POTM ffs.
Guess I will do that Ronaldo and if it means I pack his TOTS cause EA loves a dupe. So be it.
Okay it's not as reasonably priced as I first saw(FUTBIN missed out the 89 squad originally).
All my draft tokens used up. 2 wins and 2 final losses. And thus the only packs I potentially have left to generate is if I win one more Prem Cup match tonight.
Churned the shit back in and got back the Bernardo Silva I put into Foden...
At this point I'm very surprised to not have seen an Alisson or Bruno. I've seen Rice/Rodri about 4 times each. Those two are the next ones up price wise.
So that could be me done for prem TOTS. A shame to not see anyone of the big 6/7. Though to be expected. My only dilemma really is do I start sinking coins into player picks, or do I accept defeat and move on.
Also Muller may be a great investment atm. He's cheap as an 87 gets right now if you can get him ~15k and he's in the TOTS according to leakers. Had my Kroos sold any better I'd be getting onto that.
I wouldnt mind a Bernado or a Rice.
I think I am on 4 Trents already.
I saved a bunch of big packs from milestones, opened one of the better swaps and have then hammered absolutely everything into 80+. I don’t think I have a gold under 82 in my club.
I think fox has done the same but then added better WL rewards and rivals (where I didn’t play any this week)
I've done the 85x and 84x packs during Prem/Dutch TOTS. I figured there's another of the latter from TOTS Swaps.
Saved Rivals rewards from last week and used this weeks after seeing what luck I got(Cancelo, Dias, VVD).
Had some great luck in player picks tbf.
I heard there's a POTM Mbappe coming soon so I'm gonna keep an eye out for him. The current POTM for L1 expires tonight
I shudder to think of the cost. By definition it'll have to be 96 rated right? Can see 3/4 x 89s in that one.
I think 95. +1 on IF at that rating.
Should be a discount one for sending previous POTM
No TOTS from any of the stuff pushed out today but a Lewandoski a day early from MM's
Took Foden into the Prem Cup and he's good without being great. Lost 2 pen shootouts and then smashed the last person 4-0 up at HT to tick the last of the packs off. Nothing in them and have recycled them and nada.
Only other packs I could get would be WL qualy.
Yeah I got nothing for the final three in that today. Shame really.
It's quite concerning really. I'm abysmal at penalties on this. I have only won one shootout that I can remember and most of my in game pens get saved too.
What do you do to when you take them?
I dont point to the side (move my players head) until after I have taken the kick and try to see if they go early. Its all luck though.
When facing one I do the thing I saw Harry mention a while back. If you want to dive right take one step left then dive right. I means you wont save the very good ones but sort of covers the middle and the imperfect ones to the right.
Look away Thommo.
Just got Alisson
And a sneaky Benz behind him from the Prem SBC grind.
If my calculation is right we will get another milestone rewards the day before ultimate TOTS is out.
That’s huge
