The Alisson OTW went up to 88 rated last night, but I'm not sure if he still is as I'm not at my console.
I like him a lot, it took me a few games to really get to grips with him as he's different from Crespo. The one thing that I miss over Crespo is the jumping but he's got a rocket shot, the skills are there and he's got a great turn of pace.
Nep compared him very favourably to Ronaldo (in that he has some amazing animations) when he tried him in draft.
Ffs. Forgot to redeem entrance to weekend league last night. Weekend off for me then...
Some nice upgrades. My Richarlison OTW investments looking decent. Ziyech going up to 88 is a nice boost too!
Do Red IFs upgrade as well?
I sold OTW Alisson for 93k about 3-4 weeks back, didn't really anticipate him potentially getting a big upgrade.
Baby Icon SBC finally in coming.
I could do some serious bronze pack grinding on my pack only account with those this weekend.
Did they expiring European SBC to get a Prime Gold pack, which I'll save and I think I'm 1 player short (another sodding German) from being able to do all of Marquee Matchups.
Now up to nearly 1,500 bronze players in the cloob.
A Ones to Watch Weekly Objective.
Need 7 wins with TOTW players scoring. IF Bats is going to have to come up big here.
Baby Icon SBC needs an 84 an 85 and an 86, all require 1 IF.
The 81-86 upgrade only needs 4 gold players. Bronzes are about to go through the roof and I'll be able to do loads of them.
Not convinced on the value of the league upgrades, particularly the double packs.
It was this:

Much lower requirements.
Coming in early on Futbin as 402k.
Vieri is cheaper and it's not like the packs are good.
What I would say I guess is it's easier than ever to get players on this version. If I'd been doing a pack only since the start, for example, I'd probably be able to do 2 or 3 of them by now if I'd been frugal with other SBC's.
The most appealing thing though is that it's possible (if IFs are in the 81-86 pack) to grind one from Bronze Packs without having to use the 2 Player Gold Upgrade packs, which cuts loads of the shit out.
I just did the 81-86 (using absolute shit) and only got an 81.
I imagine the odds of pulling an 86 are pretty damn low.
On the IF bit of that, I've just seen Nick pack a normal 84 Laporte from an 81-86 pack.

Very underwhelming but I called it.
The upgrades on these fuckers.
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/19403/Alan%20Shearer/
Packed two OTWs so far.
Unfortunately they were Munir and Piatek.
Although Piatek has a good chance at some IF's tbh.
Bought an Ultimate pack with coins. That probably deserves a facepalm on its own, but best player was 81 Shaqiri. The pack apparently has a 99% chance at 82+.
Also, EA have confirmed there will be no more individual Icon SBCs.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with these shit Icons I’ve done now?!
Ahh- according to reddit & zaro, there’ll be Moments SBCs covering those who’ve not had one.
86 Torreira looks marvellous. As do my Robertson and Anderson’s. If the new icon SBCs are real and I go ahead with using my I tradeable B team to do them, then at least I’ve got a lot more value sat there now.
I need a CF > CAM card but they're bought out in about a second.
It's almost impossible to get one.
Edit: Just refreshed and the one I bid on was listed an an hour and my bid went in at 59m 59s. I still fucking didn't win it

FUTMAS Rashford up to 86
95 bronzes per one of those 81-86 upgrades. If I was off all week an icon could definitely be grinded.
For free that is.
Trezeguet from the Icon SBC, which is a bit naff but most of the submitted players were untradeable so I’m happy enough.
But Best 90 from my packs
Deco as my Moments Icon loan. Ugh.
Also FUTmas Torreira is a fucking animal of TOTS Kante proportions. Much more effective than Keane in breaking up play and just a constant menace. The B team is looking very nice with Robertson and Anderson upgrades. The former is noticeably more solid, and the latter, even with just a +1 seems better.
My upgrades. Couple of very nice ones.
IF Sterling 86 > 88
OTW Richarlison 81 > 84
POTM VVD 89 > 89
FUTMAS Torreira 82 > 86
FUTMAS Rashford 84 > 86
Just played my first WL game of the day and I bossed it 5-0.
Usually Friday is shit so I'm stunned at how easy this game was, we played like a Saturday.
2 for Rashford, 2 for Raul and 1 for Aouar with Aouar getting 3 assists, De Bruyne 1 and Rashford 1.
I think it's my biggest win on a Friday and easily the best performance I've put in on a Friday.
Now to lose 3 in a row and quit in a haze of seethe.
I've missed the Frenchman.
Rage quit after 20 minutes after going 2 up.
Edit: And there's the first loss. It was a strange game where we largely cancelled each other out and neither made any clear cut chances. He scored a pretty flukey rebound goal early (he sent a cross in which one of his players met, it hit the post and VDS before rolling to VVD who just touched to control it but he had an attacker right next to him) and that was it.
Other than the goal the highlights listed a yellow card for VVD, a successful skill move for Rashford and an unsuccessful skill move from Rashford.

Managed to use that flick, twice actually:
Also my first ever kick off goal.
Some very tasty upgrades waiting for me.
POTM Aubameyang 89 > 90(+3 dribbling!)
POTM Sterling 88 > 90
POTM Van Dijk 89 > 92(holy hell)
Red Robertson 84 > 86
Red Rashford 84 > 86
FUTMAS Torreira 82 > 86
Very productive for me. The saved packs brought me a couple of SMS, an 85 Lacazette untradeable, then a crazy pack that saw me get 2 IFs, OTW Babel, Telles and one of the mentioned SMS.
POTM Rashford has gone up in price it seems, but his 88 looks significantly better than my 86 red card now.

I'm playing a FIFA tournament tomorrow with 4 other mates, we had to draft our sides. Anyone got some lineup suggestions with the blokes I assembled?
Oblak
Courtois
Felipe Luiz
Alex Sandro
Walker
Bellerin
Chiellini
Varane
Benatia
Jerome Boateng
Kondogbia
Matuidi
Fernandinho
Saul
Pogba
C Eriksen
Insigne
Aubaumyang
O Dembele
Dybala
C Ronaldo
Ben-Yedder
Offline so obviously chem isn't an issue. Open to any formations really.
Have a rough idea in my head. thanks gang x
@Yevrah
@Sir Andy Mahowry
@Gray Fox
@Danny
@The Merse
@Igor
4-2-3-1 narrow
Courtois
Walker Varane Chiellini Alex sandro
Pogba Matuidi
Dembele Eriksen Dybala
Ronaldo
You could argue Kondogbia over Matuidi but he's nailed it tbh.
Fox has it.
Maybe swapping Dybala and Dembele to get the former coming in on his good foot. The latter has 5* so can go either way.
I would set Matuidi to stay back and central. Have Pogba default. I use him like that with Keane next to him.
Ha, that's almost identical to the side I had pencilled in, except i had auba up front, then ronaldo eriksen and dybala as the 3. yours is probably better though.
my biggest fuck up was panicking really early and picking insigne with my like 3rd fucking pick. saw his high overall and genuinely forgot he's about 4'10'' with like 50 finishing. could have had hazard instead as well lol.
If Chem isn't an issue I'd go 433(4) :
Courtois
Alex Sandro
Walker
Varane
Benatia
Matuidi (stay back)
C Eriksen (get forward)
Ben Yedder
Aubaumyang (wing)
O Dembele
C Ronaldo
Maybe so but there isn't anyone nearly as clinical as CR7 on this game, even if they've removed him from all the branding.
You could have a 4-1-2-1-2 as back up.
Have the same back line with Matuidi/Fernandinho holding, then Pogba/Eriksen as the CMs with Dybala the CAM. CR7 and Auba up top.
Always find Dybala just a bit shit in Fifa.
I've started out 3-1 this weekend, only loss was avoidable too so hopefully I can push on to Gold 3 and maybe beyond. This is all while having 3 penalties saved in 2 games, both of which I thankfully won.
Griezmann has 8 in 4 already (and it would be 11 if not for my poor penalties).
