Wow, special David Silva has been released (93 rated) - Interesting.
Interesting to hear how much (or how little, I should say) you have all put into the game. I think the vast majority of people who are running teams as good as all of yours would have spent quite a bit more of real money to get where they are - and the fact that Yev has approximately generated 6m coins through gameplay and trading is pretty insane!
I do personally prefer to grind and get where I am without expenditure, but there is always that little nagging voice, and the "potential" that a pack offers as Merse says. It's pretty dangerous and so easy to sink hundreds of pounds in one short sitting, especially with these 100k/125k packs in the store.
1.6m for Marcelo and de Gea. Tempted to buy one tomorrow to try out this weekend for the novelty as much as anything.
I've put about £30 in extra. Most of my coins have come from packing Mbappe which got me about 400k and then just playing and a bit of trading.
I don't play online though as it just makes me seethe, so I'm making less back overall.
250k ish for Ramos (original). I'm tempted to sell.
Just have 86, 87 and 88 to do for Raul now.
715k according to Futbin but I do have a couple of players to reduce the price.
I'm pretty much decided on Raul and then with whatever I have left I'll buy a MC.
Edit: And I'm done.
866k left in my pocket with shit to sell. I reckon I could scrape together around a mill.

On for a couple of hours if anyone fancies a game
This David Silva Centurion SBC means it's a good time to sell your Kompany's - he fits a lot of the criteria
Struggling today. Not against folk I'd normally beat either - there's some very very good players coming up in D5 for some reason. Got so triggered at a non-penalty followed by counter goal I checked my controller and the damn thing is now stuck going left, which means my S edition controller is effectively dead and I'm back to my Day One edition backup.
Just played a rivals game where the dickhead let the time between halves run right down and then he paused the game 3 times letting the time elapse, massive cunt.
He was 3-1 up at that time and I ended up winning 5-4 with a 90th minute winner which was probably the most satisfying end to this version for me.
Raul and Crespo both got 2 as well, it's a potent as fuck strike force and here was Raul's second:
This is interesting in terms of what icons we might get.

Would they release R9 (I'm assuming he'd be the last of those ofc) this soon?
Also, the last time people worked it out they changed it up.
It's bizarre how the level of opposition fluctuates so much. Yesterday I was smashing all comers and today I came up against probably the best player I've ever faced. His defending was so good I literally created no chances throughout the game. Couldn't even get a timed finesse off.
Anyone up for a game?
I would, but am hammering through SBC's for the packs for the weekend.
Up to 56 now, with another 6 to come in the morning from division rivals and 2,000 players in the club to convert.

Some very encouraging TOTY Prices right now(xbox).
De Gea - 1.4m
Marcelo - 1.4m
Van Dijk - 2.1m
Varane 2.1m
Ramos, De Bruyne and Kante - 2.7m
Considering we're still to have them all in packs at once yet, I think some of those are very reasonable.
Indeed.
I didn't think they'd be anywhere near as low as this at this point.
Makes me wonder whether to forgo Mbappe and get, say, Marcelo and Kante instead.
If I were you I'd pick up Marcelo and Varane. You've got the best LB there will be for the rest of the game and then arguably the best CB. Same price as Mbappe.
Depends if you want help going forwards, if not stack that defence and build the front line up.
That is very tempting, but then it is Mbappe.
I'll make a call when it's clearer how much each card's resting price will be.
There are going to be so many packs opened over the weekend there could be some quite sizeable decreases from where we currently are.
Hmm, I'm tempted by one of Van Dijk or Kante.
Currently on 1.2m coins but I've still got plenty in my club to sell and I've started do SBCs to stock up on packs (up to 12).
If I go for Van Dijk I'd probably stick with Futmas Torreira until I scrape enough for, probably, base Pogba. If I go for Kante then I'd still have the SIF Van Dijk at the back.
That's the MLS done and Rooney in the club now.
64 packs in store, so 70 with division rivals rewards, but down to 4.1m coins.
That Marcelo card with a Sniper.

Fucking hell.
This is the current side:
The best team I've had so far, but it has its problems. De Bruyne on 8 chem is annoying, as is Alves on 7. Thiago Silva isn't very good either and while I like Gameiro his M/M is a pain in the arse.
On the plus side, Sterling is surprisingly good, if he had 4 star weak foot he'd be amazing. Kondogbia is phenomenal and I'd love to use Dembele to the bitter end.
Kondogbia really that good?
I was thinking about getting him but I'm not sure about him as a CM. Do you actually use him as a CAM or shift in game?
The other player I was looking at to fill in as my RCM is Veron. Or hoping I pack something good on Saturday/major price drop happens and I can bring in Kante or Van Dijk.
Looking at Marcelo and Mbappe for TOTY now. If their price drops enough (possible) or I pack something from the packs I have (not possible) then I may be able to pull it off.
@Yevrah, you switch formation in game? Would this not sort out all but Alves chem?

Edit: Switching Mbappe and Marcelo for Lala and Dembele (assuming of course) means someone has to be off chem.

Cheers Danny.
I had laid out a squad starting in the 4-3-3 for chem, but I've got a million permutations at the moment with these TOTY cards.
Up to 91 packs now with this morning's rewards so might even dust off the kinect for the stream.
No one I liked in my red picks so I took the highest rated. 87 Asenjo.
Grinding the extra to rank 1 in Rivals was bloody pointless. Not a single walkout or player above 84 in my 6 packs back.
Champs rewards have me miffed. My 3 reds were Willian Jose, Lindelof and David Lopez. Only 81s and below to choose if I didn't want them. My 100k pack had TOTW Fraser and then everyone rated 80 and below, which was disgusting.
TOTW pack trolled me too. I got a walkout and saw the Brazil flag and so was happy, right up until I saw the Barcelona flag come up. Arthur not Fernandinho
I've now got enough for a few upgrade packs, which I'll open when full TOTY is out, just not sure if to do EPL or La Liga. Little to no increase in coins though.
You should have kept your packs you fool.
Not sure if I'll do WL this week, I have bought Pogba NIF to occupy my empty CM spot if I decide to redeem though.
If your luck is in, it's in. If I had Yevs stash of what will be 100+ then yeah I'd have probably held out, but it'd just be getting loads of 82 rated shit after 6pm instead.
The TOTY defenders are all now less than 2m. Marcelo is 1m and De Gea 900k.
I could actually afford one
Oh shit, I can afford Van Dijk
I've put my SIF VVD up for sale.
I wouldn't buy yet.
The defenders are only so low because they've been in packs as rewards have opened. If they're all in packs tonight then it stands to reason they'll only go further down.
Oh yeah, I'm waiting until later but I need to sell my VVD now.
I'm even set to make profit on him as I bought him for 380k and he's going for 420k.
The pack weight is offensively low at the moment. I’ll have 120+ packs for the weekend and I’d be surprised if I hit more than 3 or so walkouts. Which will be shit ones.
It's crazy.
I've a smidge over 1m on hand. I use Sandro off chemistry as it stands so Marcelo would fit right in. I could afford him, but I need to get another to go in my CAM/RAM spot.
I'll also probably be on in a little bit to open some upgrade packs/play some games if anyone is interested. @Yevrah would you recommend I open the EPL or La Liga upgrades if I can only afford to pick one side?
I'd be well up for watching you stream Fox, but all my time on the game is going into completing SBC's once I finish work tonight.
In terms of which upgrade packs to go for, it depends on which players you want. One thing I would say about the Premier League though is it has De Gea in it who (in a bizarre way) I'd personally be slightly pissed if I packed untradeable. I'd genuinely rather pull Hazard's standard card, for example.
At the moment I've got 10 La Liga and 10 EPL upgrade packs stacked, but I'll be doing more and some Ligue 1 ones if Neymar makes the 12th man.
If I pack something amazing and/or the price dropping continues I might be able to sneak VVD and Marcelo.
Unless prices now move very weirdly, I should be able to do Marcelo and Mbappe. A good wind and/or some pack weight breaking pulls and I might be able to stretch to Varane too. Which would be totes as I'd then have 5 of my first team locked down for the rest of the game.
I've never thought about streaming actually. Not even sure how to go about it!
I'm not really looking at TOTY stuff as I don't think I'll get any at all. I'm more looking at what else there is. Looking at TOTW there are a few EPL options that could be packed, whilst there's always the likes of Bale and Griezmann possible from La Liga.
Depends entirely which players you’d prefer then. I haven’t run the numbers but I’d suspect both leagues are roughly equal in terms of good pull likelihood.
Streaming’s easy in the Xbox as Mixer is integrated.
Might buy Marcelo tonight for this WL. He’s low down the list of priorities but I’d like to try him given I’ve 1.25m to burn. Tempted to bring back Varane as his TOTY is so low.
We got a decent amount of content last night at 6 so I wonder if we'll see more again tonight.
I'd like to see a defensive Icon, but Cannavaro isn't the one for me. He's just too small for this game. Maldini would be amazing, but I feel we're about to get towards the territory of Icons that need 2 Icons submitted to do.
