What's the latest on the Sancho SBC? Presumably it's now impossible due to all the German Bundesliga IFs being extinct?

Prices aren't going down either yet, in fact they've risen significantly. Pogba is now 60k more than he was a week or so ago.
Yeah I think we have had the 'crash' on the big lesser packed players. We might get a dip after the weekend but thats the normal cycle at the moment
On the plus side, I'm picking up 82 rated's for fun.
Did the third one, got nothing.
Given the luck I've had while streaming on here I think I'll save them all up and open in one go.
Might do a few of the league SBC's as well.
The 2* W/F on Sturridge is very frustrating. Judging the card on the base stats and it looks excellent, I would have spent 300K on it.
Icari and Mkhitaryan from the latest SBC.
I packed a kante. What is the best chem style to use on him?
I saw someone say basic. Which might be a first, but worth considering before you shell out for a chem style card.
I bought some ultimates with points earlier and packed IF Alisson and IF Koulibaly.
Perin from the last SBC
I've been at work tonight so missed all the good stuff. Thanks for the tags though.
As an update, I added Mane and managed a good snipe on Van Dijk(114k, he's currently over 150k). Red Wijnaldum and Mahrez both come in and see Fernandinho and Salah leave. Red Willian drops to the bench.
That left me with 610k and staring at the SBC screen. I looked at Aguero, but then decided fuck it, I'll take Dannys advice. I ended up doing Aubameyang for bang on 500k with help from some in-club items. Unfortunately the packs were not kind and I barely have 30k worth of players back. Still what it means is this for the team:

Can't complain with that kind of upgrade in the space of one weekend!
Opened all the packs from tonight.
Buffon the best pull by a mile.
Bought almost all of the 82's in the game tonight for buttons and a few IFs too, so should be set for the incoming SBC's. Annoyingly I'm out from tomorrow lunchtime until Sunday lunchtime so will be doing it all on my phone.
@Gray Fox
That team looks a completely different level. I think down the line he is going to have made you more than he cost you! Especially as you can upgrade around him as cards come out. I really didn’t get on with him, more shame on me haha
I assume your midfield is Wijanldum box to box, Firmino getting forward and Fabinho the defensive minded. How does it work with him being in the ‘outside’? Work well? I have this right now with Telles being tested over Robertson and me swapping IF Gylfi and Fabinho to get him in the middle

Telles with Loyalty and manager gets 8 chem.
I'm certainly hoping so! Unless I get a different card to the loan somehow I should be good. The best part is there are still upgrades to make. Hazard, Pogba, De Gea and Kante still to come.
I have both CMs set to stay back whilst attacking. My theory here is that when I told Fernandinho to do that he still pushed forward so why not put someone a little fasted and technically better in?
Fabinho is very good, but is limited going forward. If for example I'm springing a counter, him being the one getting furthest forward can slow it right down or even trip me up. His height is a big bonus and he always seems to be in the right place defensively(I do switch to a pure 4-2-3-1 in tighter games). Added extra is he is great at penalties, which is useful in auto-assigned shootouts.
I don't touch Firmino at all.
I'll let you know if Wijnaldum is up to the task.
Okay I've played 7 games of the WL. Had to stop as my batteries have died on my controller and there's no others in the house.
I've really gotten the hang of the timed finishes with Aubameyang and if you do it rifles into the net. The addition of him and VVD at corners has helped massively too. They're proving a nuisance as both ends and I'm sure VVD has 3 goals already.
Wijnaldum feels like an upgrade on Fernandinho. He does get caught a bit more out of position but he is a lot faster to make up the ground. Much improved going forward too.
I'm 7-0 for now, but a marathon session will be needed tomorrow if I'm to fit even most of my games in. I don't have a lot of time this weekend so I'll settle for getting into Gold.
Missed a UCL Three Player pack SBC overnight.
Seems to be pretty much impossible to actually buy anyone as everybody gets insta-bought
What type of players are you trying to buy?
Problem is everyone has been selling off teams and waiting for Yesterday/Today. For example Van Dijk. Popular in meta teams and possibly the best CB in the Premier League teams. He was mass sold off by players wanting to buy him back again cheaper. You could have got him easily for 95k on Xbox on Wednesday morning.
But now you have everyone with coins in their pocket there is no reason for him to be cheap. In fact he's now up to 155k on Xbox.
Further adding to the problem is right now a great deal of meta players have their standard versions out of packs due to the 2 TOTW going on. You are also right in the middle of the weekend league. Prices should drop at least a little on Monday-Wednesday.
Neto as my UCL rare, meh.
Got Bailly. Could've been worse I suppose.
Bronze pack method is coming up trumps here big time. Any without a full gold requirement are getting loaded with them.
League upgrade packs are out.
I hope that isn't it for today in terms of SBC's.
I might gut the club tomorrow on the PL premium upgrades.
I got one board in about 6 packs.
Its here! TOTW Tradeable and untradeable.....FLY MY VAN DE BEEKS FLY!!!!!!!
Repeatable & unrepeatable TOTW SBC is out.
Mahrez. Damn that was a good one. Was expecting Rusniak or something.
How much have 83s and IFs risen by? Is Kagawa finally worth something?
Kagawa has doubled in price.
Second try was as bad as it could get. Mateus 78. wtf am I supposed to do with that.
Olsen tradeable, Forrest untradeable. Ffs.
Could’ve made 100k from the players submitted, but at least all but the IFs were duplicated.
I did one untradeable and one tradeable and both were utter dross.
Seems like I've missed a big profit chance again.
Looks like we could well have POTM Sterling too. I'd want it so I'm up for investment ideas here.
Kompany is usually a safe bet when he is around the 11K mark. I have bought and flipped him since launch.
He went from 10K to 19K when the Sturridge card was released and I expect the same again when an attractive high rated SBC is released.
David Silva as well, bought him yesterday morning for 35K and sold him in the evening for 50K. He is back down to 35K now.
Hard to judge players prices now until the repeatable SBCs go away. If I were trader smart like some of you I'd be rolling in it.
I’ve got 4 Silva’s already so hoping you’re right.
Did a few untradeables and a few tradeables and my best was untradeable Wijnaldum and Tradeable Batshuayi
Did 3 PL upgrades to start and Ozil was the best. Will be useful for an ABC.
Edit: Fuck you phone.
I’m set on icons and major upgrades now I think. Seedorf looks tasty and I’d really like to finally get a run with R9 this year.
Pjanic is about half the price of the next 87 rated IF. I shall be picking up some of those.
Bought some rare player packs with coins.
Nothing in the first but Sterling in the second and Ramos in the third.
I'll keep Sterling and hope he's POTM and Ramos puts me in profit for the packs alone.
10 PL Premium player packs:
Pack 1: Kompany
Pack 2: Maguire and Herrera
Pack 3: Herrera
Pack 4: Moutinho
Pack 5: Heaton
Pack 6: Mata
Pack 7: Keita
Pack 8: Mata
Pack 9: Mata
Pack 10: Henderson
Kompany is good and I might use him, the rest are dick.
Aiming for a first FUT Champs appearance next week, I'm only 6 points off from redeeming - not sure what to expect when I take part. I've been grinding a lot of Squad Battles instead this weekend - up to Elite 3 now so a decent return. However, some of the fucking squads you come up against must have the shittiest custom tactics applied. I faced off against an 89 rated, 100 chem squad (only World Class, not fully confident on Legendary), and there were 4 shots all game. Won 2-1 and ran out the last 25 mins passing it around the final third with all 10 outfielders for the AI sitting deep and just crabbing across. Absolute bore.
If you're Div 4 and up in Rivals you'll enjoy it I think. I've been hovering in Div 4 since starting the game, only this past week deciding to take the step up to 3.
It's no joke to say I struggle to win consistently in Rivals, yet find myself about 20 wins per weekend league. I'm 7-0 this week. Not sure how many more I can manage due to having sick kids this weekend.
My 2 bits of advice would be to get good at shutting down outside the D to stop timed finesse shots. The other is get used to people trying to play ping-pong passes through you. That's say 70% of opponents wrapped up there.
Pick a target that's realistic too. Maybe start at 11 wins(that's the number needed to automatically re-qualify next week). The look to 14 wins for the player pick pack improvement. Same again for 17 wins and then on to 20 etc.
