I reckon 3500 to be safe (X-Box)

Actually, it's saying I'm in division 5 but my rewards are listed as division 6 ones.
ffs.
You must have been in Division 6 at the time of the refresh last week. 2,000 points will probably secure rank 3 (27.5K)
Just played some credit card fc god squad in rivals.
Neuer
Walker
Blanc
Rio
Marcelo
Kante
Salah
Gullit
Veron
Neymar
Suarez
Kid was awful and I slapped him 5-1. Just 5 goals needed now for the 5th futswap.
Jesus, what a squad.
I just lost my first rivals, the guy was one of those constant pressure pricks
Been using this weird squad in an attempt to get the RTTF Tah. Alcacer has been really fun to use.
Yesterday, everything started well, 4 games with 2 wins and 2 draws, and lots of goals being scored. Today it's all changed; won 1-0, then lost 4-1 and 2-0 and just can't seem to finish off any chances. I still need 7 wins for Tah, but not sure if I will have the time to do it now.
Fabian is a dick btw.
He fisted me (red version) in my only loss thus far in rivals.
6 wins now done for Tah. 11 games so far. Annoyingly I wasted a win by not being able to work it to a Bundesliga guy in front of goal. I was just 2-0 up for win #7 but my internet has cut off at pretty much the exact time it did last night too.
I'm going to be right on the cusp of Div 4 Rank 2/3 too.
@thommo how is 3 at the back working out? I feel like that would be horrible.
I thought I had worked out how to get that squad (with 1/2 cheap changes) into 4-1-2-1-2 but Plea is on 8. So close.
It's fun but pretty awful defensively. The wingers track back, but Castillejo especially has crap stamina, so you feel the effects. I only built it because I packed Thiago and Scream Caceres in untradeable rewards, and they linked well with Koke and Alcacer. Just lost another close one, 3-2 this time - I'm getting gashed everytime I face 4-3-3.

Thats it if you wanna have a look.
I packed Firmino and got IF Shezknee and IF Plea from my FUT rewards
Misjudged Division Rivals and missed out Rank 1 by 90 points. Grrr.
But packed Eriksen in my Bronze 3 Fut Champions rewards.
Selling him will take me close to 1.5m coins again.
Icon SBC expires in 8 hours. Will they release another one today or tomorrow? Im not too sure. POTM Auba has an early expire date. He is only available for 15 days compared to the usualy 30 days of other POTM SBC. That tells me they dont want the Auba SBC to overlap onto Black Friday for some reason.
They don't want Auba to overlap with Black Friday because it'll be much cheaper to do.
As for icons, they've totally fucked those in this version and the only way they can redeem it is if they do a baby icon sbc for a reasonable price, which I suspect they might.
Went for the untradeables in division 6 rank 3 rewards and I got a UCL live Fekir.
I always take the coins, but building a team around all untradeables sounds like a fantastic option.
I dont know if it is this new patch or not but i went from 1290 in rivals to 1536. Only losing 1 game in the run
Further to what I mentioned before.
I managed to get 7/8 VVDs for around 105-107k over the last few days and he is now selling for between 135 and 140k. Three just went for the latter. 30k pretax profit for a 1 to 2 day hold. I wish I had paid a little more to pick up more of him.
I have some Kane’s that I should make money on too but UCL Mendy (x2) and UCL Dembele might lose me 10/15k as a group due to the UCL SBC knocking them down.
Packpulled UCL Cuadrado went for 80k, he was only 60k when I packed him.
I won’t touch it for a couple of weekends after this because of thanksgiving and then one week to see how the market is settling. I think it’s going to be a year long trend though, just need to move with the in vogue cards
What's the best day to buy on then?
Gold 2 Champs rewards and managed to sneak Rank 2 in Div 4. Took tradeable packs. Got Saul and a load of rubbish in all of them.
Red player picks were Hector and a lovely red Andy Robertson
Robertson the only player I got rated above 82 to choose.
I've now got 1,547 Fut Champions points. Quite tempted to push on tonight to qualify. Won't be able to until about 7 though.
Monday/Tuesday I found. It was hard to get them for the price I was happy with last night.
I was trying to buy at -5% of BIN so I could just sell at that if need be.
Do it Yev. Get breaking in that Mbappe while you're at it.
I've played him in a few games today. I'm not sure I like him, or rather if he's worth 400k.
Merse, do you have him? What's your verdict?
Further to the point @Danny made I checked up on Fabinho. On Xbox he has gone down to 59k the past 2 Tuesdays. By Thursday he is back up to 68k and is currently pushing over 73k.
If you have the coin to bag him you can make a few hundred thousand without trying.
I will breakdown my profit on loss in this over the weekend. UCL Cards are fucking me (thankfully I only bought 3) but a meta golds are the ones
Is every single one of those cheaper to buy than craft?
Outstanding EA.
The only instance I can see someone wanting to do one of those is incase they pack an untradeable icon in one of their rewards somewhere and it happens to be a bit of a shit one. You can swap it for almost free that way. Doing it for 700k from scratch at least, is some kind of stupid unless you have millions. Are the Icons at least tradeable?
Lack of anything in my packs means it's going to be tough to afford that POTM Aubameyang in time. I'd need a very solid weekend league finish, to sell Salah and get lucky in the packs. Once I do this Tah challenge I'll be selling my Reus and Werner back to get me 45k to add to my other 170.
Then I'll be after a CB and probably Walker. Trying the Marquinhos-Meunier combo has shown me whilst his pace is useful, he is just not physical enough. Meunier was a dream full back though.
I then need either a CAM or Striker, depending on where I shift Firmino.
This Buy Mon/Tue sell Thursday thing is very intriguing
They had it more right in 17 when you could actually pick the shitter ones up for around 100k. Last year was tolerable, this year is just a farce.
I could just about excuse EA for the first set, the second was poor, but for someone to actually push the button on set 3 knowing full well that they're all cheaper to buy is a joke.
A reasonably affordable baby icon SBC is their only way out of this now, as there simply aren't enough icons in supply to make these remotely worthwhile/affordable.
Although I see it basically only costs the icon now as they've removed nearly all of the other requirements.
EDIT: Why does it say it's only available for another 31 minutes?
Yeah, they've fucked this up.

Buy icon for 650k
Submit icon into sbc and get 100k pack
Complete “world class”sbc for 40k and get 50k pack
Complete the bronze and silver sbc for cheap and get irrelevant packs.
Obtain icon for completing SBC
Now repeat but instead of spending the 650k on the icon, you just use the icon you just obtained.
You’re getting 150k worth of packs for 40k, you will eventually recoup that 650k you initially spent, and end up with profit and a free prime icon.
Shame I don't have 650k
I do, but if it's gone in 17 minutes then I don't have enough time to make it back.
Those with an icon already and that were quick could have made a fucking killing from this.
I'm so tempted to take this into the weekend league in a shit or bust fashion.

Wow if only I had the coin to have got the original Icon. That's mental.
If I was at home I would have smashed through that, done Giggs last and kept him until something better came out.
It's gone.
Up to 1,597 FUT Champs Qualification points, but just been promoted to division 5. Guess that's a good thing in terms of more points per win but I'll be facing harder opponents I'd imagine.
Division 5 is mince.
I lost 1, drew 1 and then won like 4 or 5 comfortably.
And I'm shit at defending.
I hear he's an absolute beast, but I'm hesitant due to being stuck with him if he isn't and the fact that building that team tonight will cost me 100k+ more than if I'd done it a day ago.
Still, what a side though and if I sell all my investments (+Mbappe) I can do it while keeping my second team still.
Have either of you done the loan? I was not impressed with his work rates.
1-1-2 now in Division 5.
Just came up against Pogba and my players were bouncing off him. 290 points to go, but back to hating this game now.
Mbappe is, unfortunately, a bit crap and in no way worth 390k, so he'll be getting sold. I may well do it tonight.
