5-0 tonight to seal Gold 3 with 14-6 overall. There’s only actually Eredivisie players that I want, de Ligt and Dumfries specifically, so glad to not have not made a chore of it this weekend.
It definitely felt like it was harder to score this weekend. Though I guess the more casual player has all but stopped playing by now.
Defence was definitely improved this weekend thanks to TOTS Pique and the UCL SBC Ramos, but I still struggled my way to 14-10. Should have been a lot easier but I lost two shootouts, and bottled a couple of other games massively.
Annoying to have found the time for 14 wins on leagues that I have no squads for whatsoever but I wont complain if I pack something massive Thursday.
Went into my final game needed one win for gold 2. Is it super hard because everyone is playing WL for Red and Gold? Hit the post three times and his keeper made some monster saves. Finally won on penalties as he missed every one.
Witsel TOTY is shit. I didn't get on with him at all. I believe in judging books by a cover. I should have known that since he does not have his real face in game. He would be shit
Son Headline is also shit. He does not feel like a 800k card at all. Considering TOTY Bernardo is half the price, and levels above.
Da Costa was OK. A little but stiff but i expect that from full backs.
Changes will be made.

I considered buying this for £1.99 today. Then didn't.
Packed Pogba in my Squad Battles rewards. Not bad for only getting to Gold 2. Instant sell for 66k, so I'm up to 1.45m now. I'm planning to continue rinsing through the league SBCs while TOTS is still around, but I'm open to one or two big upgrades to my side in the meantime.
Played with my draft token and got a horrible draft. TOTS Cancelo and TOTS Reus were the only TOTS options I got.
Managed to just about grind out the draft win. I was 2-0 down at 85 mins in the 2nd round and somehow won that. Ended up getting 2 x Gold pack and 2 x Premium Gold Players Pack. Disgraceful.
Onana from my Eredivisie sbc. I must have packed low end from almost all of these bar Bernardo Silva.
Please put every tots card in ultimate tots
I didn't bother with the Eredivisie Guaranteed SBC in the end. 84 with an IF seemed too steep for what is on offer. None of them would fit in my squad anyway.
The IF requirement was a real shithouse move on EA’s part.
I don't think I'd have done it if I didn't have an untradeable 86 Weghorst.
I dont even bother with these upgrade packs. I dont want to ever pack anyone good untradeable, especially if they dont fit in my team.
You can then use them in SBCs or end up fitting them in your team.
I was hammering them in TOTY and got Varane as untradeable who is probably the best CB in the game.
As I'm killing a bit of time here in work, a quick squad update. That's the 18 I use for Rivals and Weekend League below. Any glaring holes or amazing players that I'm completely missing out on using by sticking with the squad I currently use?
You should get Wij into your starting 11 somehow. I would cut off Wass. How much have you got and who are untradeable?
Well perhaps my pack lucked have finally turned. Have bought 3 50k packs and packed De Gea, Busquets and Hazard. Hazard walks straight into my team.
Tried a 81+ Serie A to see if my luck continued and got a TOTS Donnarumma.

Sirigu from the Serie A guaranteed SBC. Well thank fuck it wasn't Donnarumma. But still yet another fucking TOTS goalkeeper.
Lazzari
The absolute worst one, I knew I was fucked when I saw the Italian flag.
I had an untradeable IF Feghouli that has been knocking around the club since about Christmas, so had no reason not to do that Eredivisie SBC. Pulled Ziyech, who has fucking obscene stats but is completely unusable other than as a substitute for me.
If I could fit him in I'd love to use him. I'd probably need to get De Jong(CM) and Dumfries to do it though.
There's a lot of very usable cards between the two TOTS we have now. However I just saw a guy open near 70 of those guaranteed packs. About 50 of them were either Mancini or Lazzari. That's really putting me off doing it and also concerning for Thursday.
Thursday is basically about de Ligt, Cancelo and Dumfries as potential starters for me. Shit loads of great supersubs too, mind.
Also, Alex Sandro is comfortably the best full back I've used on the game. If you're thinking about it, do it.
I can't see a way to get Wijnaldum in on good chem. I have TOTS Laporte, Digne and Rice from the Prem also, but I don't want to get rid of my backline really.
Wass is really good in an overachieving way. I tried TOTS Santi there as I got him as my red pick, but he just wasn't the same. I can't find any other La Liga midfielders that do what Wass can do.
Laudrup was the walkout and I was a bit meh about it.
You can never complain about this game ever again, you jammy fuck.
Just played a quick Rivals in a 4-2-3-1 (never tried it bar abusing squad battles with Ibra for an objective once) and he scored twice with this as his second:
Not sure I like the formation though as he and Lacazette are a bit too wide. Might go back to the narrow diamond and have Eusebio at CAM although that means that Eriksen is probably wasted at CM.
De Paul from the Serie A TOTS pack. Another one I can't use. I might just throw a fun team together with necessary guff linking these great players together.
You can fuck right off with that pack, Mahow. Right off.
I want the guy banned.
Mahow.
Probably a silly question but are you keeping him? Downgrade to the 98 get 4m back and you can sign any player outside the top 8 in the game (two of them being Ronaldo himself)
This late into the game I'd probably just use him if he fit into the team with what I had.
Though saying that, the ability to go out and do Gullit, R9, Vieira and Cruyff would tick a lot off my FIFA bucket list.
R9 is great, or at least he was in FIFA18, but I didn't like his M/M workrates.
I'm not sure what to do to be honest.
R9's workrates scare me as I've never gotten on with M/M ST's so I'm not interested.
That's what I'm working with right now. The formation is still up in the air with either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2 narrow.
I could probably finish Vieira once Laudrup and a few other things sell (would wait until tomorrow) who would come in for Keane.
Should I downgrade Ronaldo to 98 I could bring in Gullit over Eriksen and Trent for Aurier but that's it.
Downgrade Ronny and bring in Vieira for Keane and Trent for Aurier. But even then, you don't get to use an 8 million coin card very often.
I'll probably roll with him this weekend before deciding.
Edit: Ronaldo, Eriksen and Aurier up.
Decided I'll go for the 98 OTW Ronaldo, Prime Gullit and TOTS Trent.

Rare gold polish players at max thanks to FUTSWAP
TheAgent is still up to his old tricks.
Donnarumma and Fabian as my reds.
Packed El Shaarawy in my Guaranteed TOTS pack. Hoping for one of the big ones in my reds later on.
Also managed to finish off Zaniolo last night. That was a right struggle to complete as I had barely any decent Italians in the club to use.
I only played to 11 wins last weekend so one pick, and I took Correa. He looks fun.
That aside I got fuck all from the rewards, but enough correct filler to do the whole of MMs at once. First pack, blue flash, get excited, and it's fucking Onana. Probably the least valuable TOTS there is.
I thought it was bit cheeky to chuck Onana back into the Eredivisie TOTS, when he'd already been a weekly objective and (incorrectly) released in packs for the Community TOTS.
It was from the Community TOTS I got him. Should I be expecting that card to vanish from the club if his release was a mistake?
I think after they made the mistake they announced that they'd honour all the cards packed. Same went for Rodri as he was meant to only be an objective, and Sissoko as he was only meant to be an SBC.
Packed my first blue from those upgrade packs (across all leagues thus far) and it was Sirigu.
Not bad, not great but I can't complain.
