Think I might pick up a OTW Fred (or more), 26k right now and with the way we've been playing against Cardiff (and that we have a manager who doesn't hate him) he could have a chance at an IF.

Gabriel Paulista is as good as Umtiti. Genuinely. Sell Godin and go with him and Varane.
Also scream Koke as a 7 chem CM is the best in La Liga.
Wasn’t he an SBC though? I doubt Igor has him.
@Mahow, worth a shout. Worst case you sell him at the end of Jan when the OTW SBC is out and people hammer it for Ronaldo
If you're talking goalkeepers, there's only a few properly good ones this year. Courtois being the most common.
I'm on 55k, Godin would get me 60ish and Varane is like 170 or something. Shall I just save up for him?Originally Posted by The Merse
Save up for Courtois and Varane probably my best bet then?
I use that combo myself and literally my only complaint is Courtois' kicking.
Ah, didn’t realise Umtiti had deflated so much - he was 150 when I bought him so thought you must be sitting on a lot more. Yeh, myself and many others have found Langlet and Garbriel Paulista as good as Umtiti.
@Danny shit yeh, forgot that. So glad I did it now, he’s a shite left winger but amazing at CM.
Same here. It is a serious issue for me as I like sweeper-keepers, but he’s reliable in goals and Varane is as good as any TOTS or Icon has been in previous versions for me. Only VDV compares. I love Ramos too but Jesus his High attacking and agression gets him in trouble sometimes. Have still played with various versions of him in the last three FIFA’s, mind.

This SBC came at the perfect time for me. I sold Robertson as soon as I saw the SBC for 235K and then did this card with untradeables.
I always have him in the bench. Move him with his current boosts.
Literally the same as me, including posting the comparison here
Robertson’s value should normalize now too.
The part I miss is being able to take the ball and kick it out of his hands. Both my outer CAMs are set to stay forward so any wandering full backs can be punished. For this reason I've been looking to link Neuer into my UEL Tah on one side. However the full backs in the Bundesliga are absolute pants.
I'm having the same issue with goalkeepers. I've been using Buffon for his link with Thiago Silva/Dani Alves but his lack of speed and distribution lets him down.
Neuer is comfortably the best I've used but linking him is tricky. Gone with Ederson for now who looks like a big upgrade kicking wise.
Have you used him yet?Literally the same as me, including posting the comparison here
Robertson’s value should normalize now too.
Little bit worried about 'TheMerse' thoughts on prime Keane. I went all in on the SBC without doing any research and have done them all apart from the bronze / silver squads. I was hoping for a big pull to offset the cost but 84 Ruffier was my best, terrible.
I haven’t. Not been able to play at all today.
Hmmm. I like it in concept but it heavily relies on Rui Costa being great as once I did him that's be most of my coin used up.
You might get lucky in the packs.
Same here, brought on in the 60th minute when winning he just shuts down the opposition midfield and husband pace and passing on the counter regularly leads to further pain for the opposition. Despite never starting, he’s been incredibly important for me.
Just had a wobble with some unlucky defending where I lost 3-2 (he was hanging on so hard at the end) but I think I've found my rhythm.
7 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw in my last 9 division 5 rivals games.
Oh and as long as I get rank 2 (could probably get away with rank 3 if I play a few more) I will finally have over 2000 points.
Just use IF Gundogan /s

The new live Kondogbia looks like fun. Valencia have Celtic in the next round so they really ought to be progressing. Bit expensive, but with a Hunter card on him he already looks like an endgame player.
I've been using the team above, with one change. Swap Fabinho and Costa about and insert FUT Swap Guilavogui. I took out the loan Costa in order to see how he is before committing the full 650k.
I've moved to 12-3. I'm really not happy with how I'm playing this weekend but it is just about getting me by. I'm not being outclassed which I really like, but one of the losses I was 2-0 up at half time and cruising. Just need to win one, lose one from here to hit my goal.
My team right now

Still can't barely play above pro difficulty.

Surely you need to be replacing Koulibaly?
This is my team. I wish I could swap Jesus for Aubameyang and keep full chemistry, anyone have any ideas?
https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/3303906
I just love being able to cut inside with Coutinho / Mahrez and curl one in.
I've been eyeing up doing Phil the snake. He gives an easy in to have Messi in the team. Though he does only seem a little boost on his regular card. Same problem as Firmino for me. Is he really worth the extra 100k these days? I don't really think so.
2 improvements straight away. Get Van Dijk in for Koulibaly if you can. Also if that is how you go into the game, sell that Sterling and do the POTM. The position change will give more chem and give you a better card. It won't upgrade mind you, but the packs back could help pay for something.
The boosts have been really bad, exacerbated by the UCL cards already being in existence.
Oh and on Messi, I'm seriously considering doing Crespo when he lands and whacking them both in.
I'm waiting for the right one myself. I'm using Rui Costa now and I'll give a review on him later, but I'm not head over heels like I was with Aubameyang.
Anyone on Xbox fancy a game? @Yevrah I'm certainly looking at you.
Yep Igor. Let's do it.
invite me again, my xbox spazzed up
13-4 with an hour and a half to go until I need to leave to catch a train out of London for Xmas. Finishing Gold 3 feels a bit shit, but I doubt I have time for Gold 2.
No problem losing to a goal like that.
that's the best fifa moment of my life
Another one?
EDIT: Guessing not. I've gone back into Squad Battles. Hit me up later if I'm on.

aye i'll have a fag first gimme 5
The 93rd minute winner against @Yevrah:
Ready for another one if you are.
im down to play now if you are
Quite enjoyed those Igor. Courtois is an absolute shit to score past.
Yeah that was a laugh. Ultra-defensive and a super keeper must be a pretty rage inducing combination to play against, which gives me a certain degree of sadistic pleasure.
It's good practice for me as that style of play is the one I struggle against most.
Sonaldo ST IF?
It's happening.
Has anyone done the Cazorla objective? Any tips? Not started yet, but given we have all week I may as well, as awful as it will no doubt be.
I think I'm calling a halt to Rui Costa with 3 games of his loan to go. He's just cost(a) me a game. I've not been thrilled with him for a little while but soldiered on to see if things improved.
17 games played, 5 goals and 10 assists to his name.
I'm now 17-5 and have stopped after my last loss. It was a mental game in which my opponent had a good team, but had prime Van Basten up top. I was doing okay with closing down and winning tackles but the ball kept popping back to his team over and over. I found myself 5-1 down at half time. I brought on my 3 subs and went constant pressure, all-out attack. By the 70th minute it was 5-5, but my team was fucked at this point. Managed to carve out 2 good chances but both fell to Costa and he missed both and after the 2nd my opponent brought on 85 Lozano, 86 Martinez and POTM Sterling. They combined to tear me apart at the death and I lose 6-5.
3 wins needed from here. It'll be a Christmas fucking miracle if I get 6.
Went for FUTMAS Isco in the end. Already had the 89 in the club ready for my La Liga side that I'm slowly building, so by sticking him in the SBC, the requirements were fairly manageable. Probably cost about 30k for a 91 rated player - decent deal. Now to see how he plays.
Thiago Silva, Matuidi and Valencia.
Very tasty.
