Oh I could work towards Eusebio. Is he better than tots Lacazette? His stats don't suggest so.

Maybe it's the hidden icon stats or the extra traits but I do prefer Eusebio.
It might also just be the slightly better weak foot and the greater long shots.
Honestly though, you can't go wrong with either.
Actually Lacazette even beats him for traits/specialities.
Eusebio has 9, Lacazette has 8 but they share the same bar Free kick specialist (Eusebio), Crosser (Eusebio) and Aerial Threat (Lacazette) and I'd rather have Lacazette's unique specialities.
In terms of traits Eusebio has power free kick along with CPU AI ones to Lacazette's flair.
If chemistry is no issue and Mbappe is off the table, the only two answers for me are CR7 of some form, or as good a Eusebio as you can get.
If I were to dig into personal preference, those in the mold of Aguero would come up. 95 Werner also deserves a mention.
Didn't realise Eusebio had a 5 star weak foot. That's huge.
He also has a giant leap. Man scores super headers against me on the regular.
I've banged on about 91 Eusebio a lot since packing him, but for good reason - he is really fucking fun to use and I'd recommend him 100%.
Just finished the Jo Weekly Objective, two more to get for Howedes and the Augusto online singles tomorrow night and that'll do very nicely towards Eusebio.
Got VVD and Allison from my rewards lads. Once I sell my TOTY VVD, I think I may be able to afford TOTS Auba...
Vierinha and Zahavi.
First time I didn't get a pick from the bigger Tots.
Howedes done this morning.
Stocking up those cards for SBC's.
I think once Vieira and Eusebio are in I might have finished my team and the only thing left to do will be to push for Top 100 on Squad Battles.
Its about time I put my untradeables into a big SBC. I have a team called Free FC and it is a 92 rated team that I 55 chemistry of cards I no longer use.
I only have the three reds on me.
The two I just picked and Bernardo Silva. I'm constantly putting them into SBCs to reduce costs.
I've been lethal this year. I've even put FB Ibra, FB Hunter and TOTS Goretzka into SBCs.
If you dont use the cards, cut them off if there is something better available. That being said, one of my mans refuses to play the long game and he has big SBCs card that he feels are too good to part with. He did moments Socrates being he won the draft with him and has regretted it ever since.
Yeah, too many just can't cut the cord.
If you're not using these big cards they're just a high rating.
I got red Alisson which I reckon a good 90% of people who finish in Gold 2/1 will get, which will allow me to sell my tradeable one. I'm happy with that one but I reckon a lot of people wont be.
My other red was Sancho. I'd love to work him into my team but I also want to try Quags out. He does look amazing even without a chem style. Has 96+ in all the important shooting categories and pretty much 99 in all important passing stats.
He only has 2 drawbacks. One is his 3* weak foot but that can be worked around. The other thing is his 72 composure.
That 72 compsoure is horrific. I didnt know it was that bad.
Are we goingt to get more ultimate TOTS SBC? Its been underwhelming so far. Give me flashback ashley cole or petr crocuh or something.
Does the Guaranteed Ultimate TOTS SBC finish at 6pm today? I was debating whether to do it, but if it finishes tonight, then the decision is made for me.
I'm shocked we've not had a Pogba yet.
And yes that 72 composure is terrible, but it just shows they scale the cards up rather than giving each an actual upgrade. If I could have picked a different 96 I would have loved Pepe but a shame it doesn't work like that. I'd love to see a feature where you could do something like swap your 96 card for a different 96 rated player.
I've seen people firmly only getting one pick from the Ultimate TOTS in each set of 4, so it seems they turned the wick down there. I'm just glad I didn't get the same pick set over again.
They seem to have changed the rewards for the WL to TOTW packs again, which is a bummer, but it is needed. TOTW cards have risen and risen in price which is what is keeping the Icon SBC prices as high as they are.
They have stated this is the final TOTW though so what they do after remains to be seen. I'd love to play a bit into July and get that Ronaldinho I always wanted, but I think it's the point in the game where we just enjoy what we've built and shuffle towards FIFA 20.
Final Totw?
Total fuckers, that's going to completely screw the icon prices. Might have to hammer through and get Viera and Eusebio done tonight.
My 9 year old nephew was showing me his Ultimate Team the other day and it made me sick to see what he had compared to what I had given what I spent. Messi, Ronaldo, shed loads of Icons etc and a pretty decent win/loss record too. I bottled playing him because you know, kids. There would be no living it down if he actually beat me.
9 year olds are generally shit though as they can't take losing so will play on semi-pro and think they're amazing.
It's also pretty early for the final TOTW.
18 had 45 weeks, 17 had 52, 16 had 53, 15 had 52, 14 had 49 and 13 had 52. This is only week 41.
They said totw wil be replaced with something else
No chance they're ever going to do that. They like giving us shit.
Yeah that one does veer too far towards happy consumer feature, than money making feature for them.
Online singles must be the most triggering piece of fucking shit in this entire game.
Three games into Renato Augusto and I'm 0-3.
First game I lose 2-1, no complaints, but the next two I concede shitty early goals and what's this, oh yes, a screen freeze and my opponent gets the win. It happens in nearly every single game I go behind in.
Absolute fucking joke and why is it only in online singles where people exploit that shitty glitch?
4th game. 0-4.
My team is a pretty bog standard one, 10 seconds in at 0-0 my opponent quits. I hadn't even touched the ball.
FML.
5th game. 0-5.
0-0. 20 minutes in and I'm having the better of it, Opponent quits again.
This is impossible.
Allison and Koulibaly. Could be worse. Will give the former a go and see if he’s an improvement on Ederson, whilst Koulibaly is a good start to the 1m + my random red picks fun team I’m thinking of popping together to try something different.
Completely sympathise with Yev. The objective cards we get each week remind me a lot of why we can't have nice things. Scumbag behaviour appears very quickly. That said, I've no idea how to do that glitch myself.
@The Merse
I've used both keepers and find Alisson much better overall. Edersons kicking is far superior as his ability to charge off the line, but I do find him lacking in some shots I think should not be going in. Alisson has produced many jaw-dropping saves where I'd admitted defeat already.
3 from 11 games now.
Adjusted a bit to the gegenpress I seem to come up against in every game and won 2 of the last 3.
89 Paulinho is very good. I'd recommend doing the SBC.
Job done. Took 13 games/2 and a half hours dipping in and out.
Worth it I suppose.
Watching Nepenthez video where he opens up all of peoples red/blues from Elite and such is showing exactly how EA have kind of fixed this.
Almost every red pick set is 4 low end ROTW cards and 1 from the Ultimate team. Even then the pick is often one of the two keepers. Same again with the blue packs. After the keepers almost every player is Sarabia, Silva or Quagliarella.
Pretty much everyone who finished Elite now has a Quagliarella so don't be shocked if everyone suddenly has him.
I saw that earlier. It was absolutely ridiculous.
In similar news, exchanged an 89 rated squad for the Jumbo Rare Players Pack Vieira segment and pulled two 83s.
That's what, a tenner's worth in actual money.
Here's the full Parliamentary hearing with EA and Epic games where the infamous "Surprise mechanics" was born.
Surprise mechanics woman makes a quite brilliant claim at 1 hr 42 when she says "just to be clear 85% of the packs that are opened in FUT are earned not paid for".
Quite brilliant. I wish I'd been allowed to grill them, the poor MP's don't really know enough about it to stand a chance.
84's being down at 1k seems like something I should by into.
As my squad is now entirely first owner I went and did the challenge for that 100k pack. Got it done(and figured I do not like Quag) and opened. Saw a German flag and in my mind it was Reus. Perfect partner to that Sancho... Striker? Wait I'm sure... Terodde.
Full on troll.
Very curious to see what the weekly objectives are this week. Will give a good indication of where we're headed/how dead the game is.
Apparently red picks will be from all TOTS.
So good luck with all those ROTW, Turkish League etc picks.
End of an Era Torres and that's about it.
Pretty shit weekly objectives, but EoaE Torres is an insanely good deal.
Presumably someone is getting fired for that mistake.
Im disappointed overall with the SBCs for ultimate. Only one hyper player (in my opinion) was released in Mahrez
