You could give it a shot, with the rewards so easy to get this time, it's not too stressful. Next time around I'm thinking of trying a Fulham P+P squad in WL. Best and VDS will cost a fair bit though.Originally Posted by Danny

Paqueta tonight. Pass for me as I have WW Aouar, HL Savernier (UT) and then either Andre or Ice Claude Maurice. Dont see him worth the expense.
Hero PP is apparently going to be repeatable and coming tomorrow.
5* skills on Paqueta looks pretty nice I think. Solid defence too for an attacking player
Not the worst price if you have the dupes etc to do it, esp as he is there until next Friday.
I think the confirmed Kane, Dest, Varane and then Vidic will get my fodder before he does. Though not essentially in that order.
My Magnum Opus is nearly finished.
Wanted 1,200 packs of 20k coin value or higher, so 45 left to grind and we're done.
The leaked Varane flashback looks better than TOTY cards.
Hero SBC out along with Figo and Dalglish
Its an 83 with 2 x TOTW and an 84 with 1 X TOTW
Jorghinho is a 97. Best overall from the mids
I hadnt seen his rating. Madness.
They all look stupidly good. Can’t believe they even made Jorginho 4*4*
Annoying that that Hero pick isn't repeatable.
Zwe
Ended up doing Verde today. Very easy with the TOTY Messi and Mbappe (though I only had him for the last few) loan cards.

Finally finished off Sarr and Manquillo. Played some utter cunts who did everything they could to stop me scoring a volley, but no one can really defend with poor CBs, so I got there in the end.
Need to start work on the WL now, but I've got tomorrow night too.
Prime Gaming pack out tonight, bit later this evening
12th man vote. Loan card for whoever you pick. Salah, Ronaldo or Benzema.
I went for Ronaldo.
League upgrade packs are out and there for 10 days.
With the 12th man in from 6 on Friday, it's looking very much like we start the pack opening then.
EDIT: Big question is will the league upgrades show in the first 30 packs.
They don't, but if the web app is anything to go by they'll appear before the standard packs do, which is the next best thing. Looks like I'm going to get all the 8x+ guaranteed packs first.
We are on.
Any decent players expected for TOTW?
Think I saw a prediction with Kimmich but I dont remember much after that.
Did a couple of the prem upgrades to get rid of dupes and got Laporte and TOTW Robertson. More fodder for Varane.
The problem with the Ligue 1 upgrade packs is that with all those TOTY cards the fodder left is pretty shit. The sensible move would be to open the Prem ones I feel, but fuck sensible.
Meunier and Mitrovic from a 5 win weekend league run.
Ill probably lean towards the Ligue Un ones when I do more. Just had a run today for the dupes.
Prime pack is out too for claiming.
Soz Danny, wasn't casting shade there if it sounded like that. Makes perfect sense to do Prem ones today and highlights the issue of lack of fodder in Ligue 1 and the abundance in the Prem.
Nah not at all.
Looking at the leagues:
129 gold rares in the prem.
21 84+
5 TOTY
53 gold rares in the L1.
12 84+
5 TOTY
7 non TOTY 84+ in Ligue Un. The fodder is likely to be terrible but the lure of the players....
Jealous.
Neymar in there too. Does that include Heroes? Ginola and Pele both there.
Looked at just rare golds. Not sure if you would be able to get Heroes from those packs.
This just seems like a mechanism to kill the League SBC grind?
I think that sheriff fella leaked some decent repeatable SBCs coming but it does look a nice way to shaft that grind.
Speaking of which, Prem and Ligue Un league SBCs expire before TOTY release
Cheers for the heads up on the red picks in Elite, bothered my arsenal to play to 7 wins and am in there now.
My 81+ were shit today. Handful of 82s and otherwise just 81s themselves.
As you were posting that I was coincidentally working out how many packs I can make from recycling alone. Excuse the rough Excel workings, but it's over 1,000 Premium Upgrade packs and over 1,000 2 Rare Gold Player Packs.
The above assumes no wastage and there are some rounding issues when you get down to cycle 9 and beyond, but if I can get through it all I'm going to be opening about 3,500 packs this weekend (last year was 2,250), which is 75m coins/£10k's/1.5m FP's worth.
Judging by how badly the Premium upgrade packs were paying out for streamers tonight and the fact that I'll never be able to top this many packs, I think this may well be the last time I try it.
When you kicking it all off? As soon as the full team is in?
Rough plan below, maybe subject to change, but it's coming together now:
Fri: Wait for the 12th man and start the opening at around 11pm UK time, hopefully avoiding the no doubt reduced odds of everyone opening packs at 6pm.
Fri-Sun: Hammer the icon player pick, only doing other SBC's that expire by then or those that fit the low end fodder I'll have.
Sun-Tue: Hammer all of the other SBC's.
Gives me just under 4 full days to get through them all. Decided on the Ligue 1 Premium Upgrade packs and the 2 Rare Golds (to maximise the number of Premium packs I can build and to help with fodder).
Ended up going 9-6 in the WL proper. Overall, that's a record of 15-9 (including the playoffs) with the Championship team. Not too bad and it was pretty enjoyable spanking some of the more meta teams with Wilson, Chong and Cavaleiro.
I knew team variety was pretty low right now, but I must have played about 6 or 7 French squads in a row, complete with the usual suspects of Kante, FB Benzema, UEL Fekir. Despite all these interesting cards from different leagues, they're generally still not good enough to force change to the meta.
Pleasingly, ended up with a red 84 Mitro for my WL efforts, along with some 82 LM shitter. Up to 110 packs for this weekend too, including some big ones. I don't expect a TOTY but I'd love some serious fodder for the various SBCs.
Cracking stuff on Mitrovic thommo. Straight into the team?
And 110 packs gives you a chance - I reckon 2 or 3 of us will pack one.
He's in for next week for sure. Wilson ended up scoring the majority of my goals, running in from CAM, so Mitrovic should be good to hold up the ball and let him make the runs in. I'm nearly at level 30 too, and that 87 rated CM from Preston looks like a very good choice for the midfield.
I played with Kante in a draft and even with this horrendous patch he’s the greatest player ever. He can play anywhere and he’d be your best player. If he had 4*4* I honestly think folk would play him up top
Luke Shaw Obj coming. Perfect partner for that stupid expensive Varane.
Dest tonight. Looks like a good card.
His TOTY are always nuts. Can do everything but skill.I played with Kante in a draft and even with this horrendous patch he’s the greatest player ever. He can play anywhere and he’d be your best player. If he had 4*4* I honestly think folk would play him up top
Mid of Prime but it's not a pick
That will fucking do.
Dest is dirt cheap.
I used some dupes and did the Hero pack. Joe Cole. One I was interested in but still a loss for the pack value.
Very nice Merse!
Tradeable? He could genuinely play anywhere
Cracking stuff Merse, I would love him.
Untradeable, from the 83+ defenders. First ever TOTY, so happy with that.
He does indeed look flipping superb everywhere.
Still got 55 packs for the rest of the team on Thursday.
I dont have too many packs. Mostly anything 84+ and then some of the bigger stuff like the 85x10 and the 83x25 from swaps.
Get enough fodder for Varane and I will be happy.
I'm so jealous Merse. He looks the tits. Would love him or Cancelo.
I'm on 36 packs which includes the Swaps fodder packs.
Yeh ok, so playing with him ruins all other cards you own. Handles like a dream.
What's your team now?
