Pardon me. Bad prediction from me on IF Marko Arnie. He has dropped 20k since I bought him and I have 5 cards with 100k loss.

Changed my tactics based on Boras' video and played my second game.
Quickly noticed that I was superior to the guy so I switched to my attacking game plan and I won 6-0 although it should have been more. 23 shots of which 15 were on target.
Kroos absolutely controlled the game.
Which vid is that Mahow?
With my current loan mismatch squad I've gone for 4-1-2-1-2(2) in balanced, 4-2-2-2 in defensive, 5-2-1-2 in ultra defensive, 4-1-3-2 in attacking and 4-2-4 in ultra attacking.
Only used the attacking really but it felt solid and a lot better than just the default stuff.
15-3. Without the server outage I’d be up for Elite
Aw shit, completely missed an 85 Rooney was out for the MLS SBC.
They're releasing these very quickly. I need to get stocked up on PL and La Liga players.
Any theories as to why they're coming out so quickly?
EDIT: Although we'll clearly get a Flashback Rooney at some stage.
Mass criticism for not releasing early last year, which seems to have manifested in quick fire release but worse rewards with no coins and worse players.
Card 1: November 5: Free card given away Calero
Card 2: November 5: 72 hour SBC. Strerry
Lets track these this month.

Tapped out at 17-5. Easily my best WL for a long while. To do so when 6-2 would get me into Elite and the TOTW pack that comes with it is gutting, but there’s no way I’m doing more now. Still, considering this a big step forward, especially with the manner of the victories, and as my first Gold 1 finish of the year as 3-5 would have been easily achievable. Now two days to make up about 9-10,000 div Rivals points to finish rank 1, and I should have an enjoyable Thursday rewards night.
Yeah if we could get some tracking of the players this month that'd be great. That Pedro looks a very good CAM. Be sure to get the bonfire night kit if you want it too.
I think it was @The Merse wanted to know how I found Willian? I really liked him. He's very versatile too. He can play any midfield position forward of CDM and even striker if needs be.
My stats for the Brazil 3 this weekend: Firmino: 31 played, 31 goals, 13 assists. Willian: 35 played, 11 goals, 9 assists. Douglas Costa: 35 games, 14 goals, 11 assists. The stats don't look as good as Costa, but it has to be said I did a lot of switching to 4-1-2-1-2(2) through the weekend and in that, Willian plays CM whilst Costa is a striker.
Firmino is the obvious star of the team and I really enjoyed having him in. I'm not sure I'd want to see him go. But having him in boxes the team into a corner. It's either change the team or bring in someone else up top.
That's a bloody good finish. What team(s) got you there?
Valencia, Sanchez and Firmino at the lowest they have been.
I saw a calender ingame for the Swap deals. Nice
Damm. I was halfway through both leagues. They are really coming quickly at random.
The Serie A SBC, Sampdoria only have silver goalkeepers and they are all 5k+. Cardiff also have only silver and bronze goalkeeepers.
Cardiff are going to be a good team to invest in. Prem and mostly silvers
Yeh I’m quite happy. Went 12-5 after the initial winning streak and was keeping up the 2.5:1 form against full icon/elite players rather than ever freefalling into negative streaks. Never actually lost a consecutive game, which kept me away from that rage/tilt mode that sometimes sets in when things don’t go my way.
Upgrading the bench with the guys I brought in for my Div rivals B team really helped this week. Firmino scored important goals replacing a knackered Talisca, and has similar attributes that helped continuity rather than Jesus who I subbed in for Talisca in the past couple of WL’s. Koke is a fantastically frenetic Fred-style disruptor/box to box CM who can be very effective with his passing and pace in the final 25 mins, and Kondogbia is a natural replacement for Rabiot.
Also subbed in Bailly in midfield to counter Pogba to good effect, and moved Hulk back to CAM, Mbappe to St and Lucas in at RW when looking get some crosses in against stubborn defences. Getting to grips with adapting style and personnel in game definitely felt like another difference maker.
As for the starting XI, Ramos offers an instant affordable upgrade, mainly in the air vs Umtiti, so he’s an option. Rabiot is another who I feel I could improve, but only Potba stands out as an option and even then, only at 8 Chem, unless I go with an Icon.

Apparently anyone who made last weekend league is being given 2000 FUT Champs Qualification points after the mess of this past weekend. Doesn't help those of us who made Gold or combined Silver with a Rank 3+ finish in Rivals, but it's something at least. An extension or a bump on the rewards would be preferred for me... Still might come on Thursday but I won't be holding my breath.

Fuck you and that blonde Brazilian @The Merse
Sweet
The combo of him, Paulinho and Hulk is ludicrous for 300k. So much style with Anderson in particular.
Merse is your team name Supreme Dream or something along those lines?
Just played an almost identical team, only with POTM Lucas and IF Lacazette up front.
Nope. Mile End FC
Sounds a lot like the precursor to this team, mind.
Back in this weekend then Yev?
UCL SBCs up. If you have tradeable dog shit UCL players they are going for 3k+
The rest of the market is falling. Auba is down 60k from the weekend....
Golds are going for an absolute fortune if they fit the SBC formations.
That UCL 81+ Upgrade pack must be up there as one of the worst value SBC's ever.
Bilge from my 3 UCL pack, but Chiellini and Rakitic from one of the Primes.
Vinicius from my 3 UCL pack.
Looks like he could be good coming off the bench.
Possibly. Need to sort tactics and have a lot of club maintenance to do.
Fuck all out of mine aside from Gomez, did one 81+ as well and got Stones. Made about 40k selling Barca, Benfica and Ajax duplicates on my list though, so 135k of my 280k on a couple of Busquets for the La Liga and Black Friday SBCs, ter Stegen (competing my 86 rated Barca squad) and a couple of big Real players.
Now only need Kroos and Asenjo to reach an 85 rated Real squad and have 14+ players for every other LLS side. Also brought in Valencia for the B Team and Utd SBC whilst cheap as I love him in my old side, and figured I’d keep the rest to use with my reward coins to purchase Ramos on Thursday.
That’ll also mean dropping Umtiti into the B team alongside ter Stegen in place of Azpilicueta and Kepa. Keen not to purchase players for the B team, and instead drop them down from my Fut Champs side as I build that out, along with untradeables I have and those I’m buying for SBCs.
Brought in:
Auba 255k (down from 300k this weekend)
Valencia 20k (down from 32k)
Sanchez 27k (down from 40k)
Looking to get Firmini for sub 60k. Should all go up enough heading into WL to make me a little profit and let me try them out.
This drop in prices is troublesome for someone who was thinking about selling up. I'm sure I paid near 80k for Firmino on Friday.
@The Merse You've got about halfway to affording a Neymar there. He'd also fit your FUT Champs squad perfectly and much improve the scoring output from the LW.
There's also another gameplay affecting patch about to hit.
Major changes:
- Shooting angle on first time finesse shots has been nerfed. You know how you'd concede because your opponents Hazard did a 230 degree spin backwards timed finesse that went right into the top corner? Well that's being changed so it will have a much worse success rate than if the ball came in on a natural angle.
- Defensive pressure part 1. Got a defender right in your opponents face, only to have him still smash it top corner time after time? That's being made so your defender has a higher chance of putting the guy off. Same goes for guys to the left/right and pulling from behind the attacker.
- Defensive pressure part 2. This is a biggie for me. I've found it really hard to score 1v1s this year, but they're making shots more successful in times that your opponent does not have a defender near you to apply pressure.
- Division Rivals opponent select screen will now be the same as FUT Champs is. Too many people have been cherry picking or backing out if they were the away team etc.
I was going to do a couple of those 81+ UCL sbcs until I saw the requirements.
Fuck. That. Shit.
My Ethernet cable came today so hopefully that stops some of the lag issues I've been facing. I also need to remember to do the swap SBC tonight.
I'm not sure what to do with the team still, but I'll need to play a few tonight to secure Rank 2. I don't want to play the several extra to hit 1 this week. I've been thinking of taking the packs. The 100k packs with Gold 1 ensures I'll be pretty much getting 100k there, so it might be worth taking extra chances on the packs as opposed to just pumping the 50k in.
I was going to ask if Gotze was worth the now 95k it takes to do him, but I have to leave for work in a second and didn't realise he ended today. Hopefully I don't regret missing out on him.
That’s a bit shit. In general that is, there’s a couple of standouts in there
WTF. No sterling? I grinded to my first gold 2 in FUT Champs for this...
What is the point man. Mertens is basically his CL card with +1's to like 5 categories.
That's how they've been doing it. They've also been adding heftier weights to stats that a card doesn't need.
Look at Romagnoli for instance, +2 to pace, dribbling, defending and physical. However they've given him +5 to shooting and +4 to passing.
It's annoying as shit.
The worst part is I fucking knew they'd do it but of course Mertens goes ape shit for Napoli and I get my hopes up anyways.
I guess the only thing I can really say is at least the CL card will fall and maybe I can just snipe one for cheap to get those little upgrades.
I mean I guess it'll be a decent upgrade from my NIF that I have now but damn man like how does that make sense?
That is a woeful totw.
Anderson would be handy for me I guess... not exactly rich pickings for me to expect tomorrow. Glad I didn’t push for the Elite TOTW pack after all.
At almost 3x the price I wouldn’t touch the CL card, not worth for 16 extra IGS.
Has a patch landed? Just played two squad battles against bad teams and had to slog to victory in both.
My team feels different and the opposition seem to be boosted again. Are EA determined to make no element of Squad Battles enjoyable this year?
I get quite close to sacking this game off entirely now and again.
i swear to God if they ruined the things about this game i actually like
Richarlison OTW price falling if anyone was considering. Back down to around 27k.
Anderson is ruining Richarlison OTW potential.
Speaking of Anderson, having seen his IGS I’d love to grab him tomorrow night from my picks. The long shots and shot power alone look worth dropping Sandro to 8 chem for.
Aha, EA have also announced rewards are coming at 8:00am now. Nice. Will enjoy opening on my way to work tomorrow.
Don't they say if you open off console you have a worse chance for some reason?
