You get a team of the knockout stage splash screen if your sign into FUT. Promo starts tomorrow.
Got Williams 86 from my red picks, along with a Feunes Mori. The latter pushes me closer to cycling a team through the red player upgrade at least - I should be able to do so next week with the chaff I'm not using in my B team.
Have 4 untradeable Rare Mega's, 2 Tradeable Rare Mega's, 1 Tradeable Rare Gold Players & 2 Untradeable Rare Electrums. Add to that whatever I get from MM's and some SBC spamming tonight and I'm hoping to maybe, just maybe, have enough to hit something or enough pulls to hit up whatever SBC they put out if worth it.
MM was kind to me this week.
IF Mount, Miranda and TIF Ryan Fraser.
I got Mandžukic and IF Rafa, nothing crazy but I will take it.
5 games in and I really am not enjoying this. Sweaty drop backs all the way through, with the exception of one game. Sat on 3-2 and getting extremely frustrated.
I could have played all my games today and tomorrow, but the desire just isnt there.
Full special Liverpool team is possible...
But it damages your soul.
It'd actually play pretty damn well I think.
Only question mark is the 2nd CB now I don't have Gomez.
I've been away visiting the family over the Easter weekend, so missed out on Weekend League for the 2nd week in a row. I thought I had done all weekly Futswap objectives before I left on Thursday, but as it turns out, I missed one so I now have no chance to get the base Icon at the end of the month.
With the Icon SBCs being the shitshow they are (and me missing out on the free Base), I genuinely don't think I'll bother crafting one now. If I want one, I'll just buy one. I'm not too fussed about going for the mega Icons (R9, R10, Gullit, etc.) so I should have the coins for whatever I choose.
I need to work on scoring with the itlaian players. I havent even attempted it yet and I only have two evenings to do it, before it expires.
I’ve got all the futswap objectives still to do and have been abroad all week, back on Thursday night and off on Friday, but I’m just not sure I can be arsed.
I've not touched this in a week but I know I need to. Finding the motivation is difficult.
I definitely need to go pack only + buying players when objectives allow (but only to use in sbc’s) next year. It’s far too easy to get too good a team otherwise and that just leads to boredom.
That is the perfect word . Motivation. It just isnt there.
I have some motivation this week and that's mainly because of that 86 TOTT Wass. He is a great direct upgrade for the 84 Futmas Wass I currently use. I will try and do the Henderson if I get time later this week.
I find my main motivation doesn't come personally from trying to get the best team and that's evident in the main squad I use. I comfortably have the coins to bring in Marcelo or Sergio Ramos at the back, or even a good icon but I simply don't feel the need to. I'm more driven by unlocking those objective players, building squads through my collection rather than just going out and buying my team up.
My end goal would be to maybe build 5 or 6 competitive squads from various leagues and nationalities that mainly consists of SBC players/weekly objective players/red player picks/packed players. This is probably way off what most of the FIFA community is about.
I gave up the icon idea straight away. I can’t play that many games a week.
Bored so I decided to start bronze pack grinding due to Nep's new video series.
Just got a Huesca silver untradeable.
Annoying that I have a 10k card which I can't sell but hopefully I can manage to get another couple.
Also, I think I'm going to do this straight away on 20, really make it a grind to get a good team and this is the sort of grind I like.
Fucking Empoli left for completing Serie A for the 2nd time. Fuck their midfielders!!
TOTT Girous and Alaba from the latest daily.
I'm on track to get CAM Douglas Costa from the swaps this month, which will allow me to get OTW Cancelo in at right back and fix the one obvious weakness in my side.
I've brought in the Future Star Calvert-Lewin to play up front and he's shit hot. 100k or so, and with a Hunter card he plays like Kane and Inzaghi somehow produced offspring and fed it HGH from birth. He doesn't have a great weak foot rating, three star, but over the fifty or so games in which I've used him I haven't noticed it as a problem. He has a terrific knack for finding a yard of space in the area and his first time finishing is almost perfect. Well worth the coins.
Largely.
I'll also be buying players for league SBC's if I have at least 7 players.
I don't use skill moves with my striker at all, and very rarely with anyone else on the park, so that isn't an issue for me. His weak foot was a concern when I was buying him, but he's dynamite with outside of the boot finishes and the weak foot is more than good enough to slot it under the 'keeper on those chances where you get to the ball just before he does. I'll stick it on later and find out the exact numbers, but I think he's somewhere around sixty goals in fifty games, with twenty or so assists as a cherry.
Anyone got the futswap reddit list for April?
Cheers
Right, done Inzaghi’s loan on the web app and can pair him with Insigne to get that objective done. The other two are just a matter of time, so should be good for the icon.
Already looking forward to Fifa 20 now though.

90 Mbappe in the low 800's is a tempter. Especially since I just got Meunier.
Thinking of selling Aouar to do Eriksen.
Edit: The demigod is up for sale.

Prime Gold Players Pack: Corona
Rare Mega Pack: De Rossi + Savic
Mega Pack: Subasic
Rare Players Pack: Fernandhino and Verratti.
First 3 were shit packs but the last was MASSIVE. Just those big two bring back 50k pre tax so I'll have only spent a total of about 150k to get Eriksen.
Icon prices have fallen more so in the week I've been away. R9 is now 4m with R10 being 2.1m, Eusebio being 2.2m.
That may well motivate me to get on and get those needed for the Icon. I'd be able to afford them all, bar R9.
I might look into doing Eusebio as I want to replace Raul, he's been a hero but I want to try someone else.
Got a long way to go though as I've only got 440k on hand and my club got cleaned out a bit for Eriksen.
Ten wins in rivals for Wass is a joke. I’m 5-1 and all 5 wins with LLS scorers as I’ve been winning by 4 or 5 goals and field Griezmann and Suarez so it’s not difficult, but I’m now 20 skill points from D1 and won’t get a chance to play any more games. Will be missing this weekend league as well, off to Portugal for a stag, so the club will stagnate a bit. BPM grind is paying off though. I went 150k deep but am now breaking even whilst chalking off teams left, right and centre and should have the full compliment of highest rated League SbC reward players before long, as well as sitting on 3k+ players in the club (was on 600 before the grind). That should allow me to do Prime Vieira, sell his middle card and use the profit for TOTS.

Packed this bronze 3 times last night.
All of them went for 2.4k a pop.
Ive got 12 FUT Swaps so far which sounds like im on track.
Edit: You need to finish silver 3 in SB by the 29th which i havent started yet.

You can get silver 3 in 2 games you pussy.
Got Ederson's IF from MM \0/.
Making serious bank too as I've got LOADS of SPL players.
I'm listing the non Scottish ones for 700 and the Scottish ones for 850 (I checked before hand if they weren't someone mental for SBCs) and they're flying.
Even the bronzes?
Yep, I only have bronzes.
There's no rating requirement.
3 pages of SPL players. Cha-ching!
Must have had about 40 SPL bronzes sell for 700-950 a pop today thanks to MM.
Not a huge amount but considering I got them all from the 400 bronze packs that's not too shabby.
Through BPM, I’ve now reached the 200 squad fitness cards I wanted to justify getting rid of the untradeable B team via Icons sbcs. Given I’ve also got 600 player fitness cards and only apply every 2 games, that’s 600 odd games with one squad in the bank, more than I could possibly play in the next 4 months.
Au revoir Lucas POTM I guess.
