I genuinely don't understand the appeal of that. How is that fun whatsoever?
FUT would be utterly ruined for me.

He's an absolutely dreadful Youtuber, so spunking cash up the wall on points is genuinely all he has.
Just packed Lewandowski
How much does he sell for?
Still fully pack only and just packed IF Koscielny.
Pulled a couple of decent players in backs tonight Akanji being the most expensive right now.
Starting again is a real headache. Ive downloaded the game last night, but didnt have the energy to start it. Im sitting here now again, and I still don't have the energy.
Probably a symptom of one of your STD's.
The UI on this really is absolute arse. Upgrading bronze to silvers is going to take so much longer as a result.
BPM has started. Just sold a random Faeroe for 1,500 coins.

Norwich have no Gold defenders and the silvers right now can be had for sub-500. I think I'm going to load up.
It's coming together.
Bought Rodri, Ndombele and Lingard and switched to a narrow diamond before going into Rivals.
Lost the first 3-2 against a much better player and then lost 4-2 against a player I felt like I could beat.
Aguero's loan with Pukki is brilliant but my defence (sans loan Van Dijk got abused). Both guys scored a near post header with a CB (my players refused to jump) in what feels like an exploit and I had a couple of unlucky bounce goals go against me.
Up to about 20k of coins now and should make it to Elite 3 for Squad Battles for tomorrow night.
Just won my first game on Legendary, which takes me up to 11,000 points and Elite 3, so Elite 1 might actually be on, which would be totes amazeballs.
Oh and for those that don't know. Fitness cards don't appear to be needed at all in Squad Battles.
The team I was up against was shit, but an 8-0 win on Legendary with Leao scoring 4 and Paulinho getting a hat-trick nets me 2,588 points and into Elite 2.
The gameplay on this is so much better than FIFA19 already.
Made Elite 1 and reasonably confident I'll stay there as I have another couple of hours left on the trial.
That said, once you do make Elite 1 there's seemingly no way to see either how many points you have or how many points you are ahead of Elite 2, so you can't even use Futbin as a guide as to what you need to do to stay there.
How does that sort of shit get through testing?
I think the UI is really putting me off right now.
The gameplay is much improved but I really want to hammer the menu to improve my team but it's just so much harder than it should be.
@Mahow How is Rodri?
Thinking of using him as my "drop between defenders" CDM.
Some of the AI in the game is baffling. I get tackling is harder, and I am good with that but my defenders just running away and not following men is old already. As is the game deciding the player I am passing to isnt the one I pointed the stick at. Dont get me started on switching, I think it somehow got worse.
going pack only as well, any tips lads?
I thought I was done with FIFA 19, but it feels like I don't even want to start on FIFA 20.
You still can't check the stats and profiles of your friend's list without taking a picture and goalkeepers still tell you they have scored 0 goals.
Are you allowing yourself to buy players to complete objectives?
Not wanting to miss out on the delicious XP from the daily objectives I've done that twice now (buying Rooney and Wilshere). I haven't used either player, but first owner might be a better way to go after all. I really can't decide.
Trial over and I amassed 29,653 points in Squad Battles, which according to Futbin (I can't actually tell in the game, rofl) puts me 5,579 points ahead of Elite 2. The gap in rewards between the two is huge at this stage of the game, so I hope that's enough.
Not at all Igor, you just need EA Access, which you can pay for and then cancel and get a refund (if it still works that way).
Circa 26,000 now according to Futbin, so if the afternoon run rate stays the same then I might just squeak Elite 1.
I was Elite 3 when I stopped earlier, played a few Rivals and friendlies to complete the objectives.
I have about 60k in liquid coins and a couple of IFs for investments/using right now (Aurier and Pellegrini - who looks pretty good for 11k. 6" 1' 3* 3* and very well rounded.) and a decent first team.
Fahrmann
Aurier
Bailly
Lindelof
Rose
Henderson
Milner
Maddison
Pedro
MOTM Pukki
Almiron
Holding onto the loans as they can be used an unlimited amount of times in friendlies.
I'm going to lose out on Elite 1 by about 300 points.
I played a few games to sneak into Gold 2 and I really enjoyed those games.
The hard teams are a struggle even on professional.
Ended up buying IF Aurier (probably the third best RB behind the Man City duo and he's an investment as these week 1 TOTWs always shoot up in price), Laporte and Mendy today and they're all seriously good. I was a little uneasy about buying Laporte due to his speed but his defensive stats are so good that they more than make up for it. He's also an amazing passer which really helps to start counters. Mendy and Aurier are very good defensively but not great at attacking.
Fred is decent but nowhere near as good as on 19 but Ndombele seems to be everywhere.
Get a lot more out of my team when I bring on the IF Moreno for Fred (he's fantastic at CM coming on late) and Richarlison for Tammy Abraham who is absolutely shit.
Also, I'm going to be saving any packs I get for Friday in the hopes of packing a OTW.
19 minutes of the trial left. Shit all from my Elite 2 rewards except two of the same 80 rated who goes for a couple of k.
If you have the Ultimate Edition on Xbox you can play it now if you change your location to New Zealand.
Just tried it, it works.
I only have him on loan, but Hazard is obscene.
First walkout, unfortunately it was Keylor Navas.
Packed N'Dombele from one of the league and hybrid nations SBC. At 21k I might have to flog him and just keep an eye on his price.
Kondogbia, Herrera, Juan Jesus, Javi Martinez, Romagnoli, Biglia, Acheampong (check out the pace and dribbling), Navas, Fabian and Rui Patricio from my squad battles rewards and rare gold packs.
Not a bad haul that.
Acheampong's height (is it still an issue in this version?) and composure look a little low but he looks like a cracking early game super sub.
He's tiny, a bit too left footed and from a shit league, but he's exactly the sort of player that playing the game this way was designed to encourage me using.
And on that note, I'm definitely allowing myself to buy players when it comes to objectives. Haven't used any of them yet mind.
The game's decided to repeatedly kick me out and just did so during a Legendary game I was winning in which Acheampong had scored. Lost 3-0 and his goal doesn't count.
Grrr. That's it for the night now.
This might be PS4 only but Tadic can be had on open bid for 2k. Thats an 84. 100% profit if you have coins and some patience.
I have put all my coins into him and Dzeko.
Did MM's this morning and packed Real's keeper and Wilson. Another 16k right there.
Stuck between Ballack and Carlos Alberto for my mid Icon 5 match loan card.
Ballack would be better for my team in Rivals right now but that Alberto looks so damn good.
Edit: Ballack it is.

Conceded a last minute goal to draw 2-2 in Rivals
I defended really well but made two bastard mistakes, I also had loads of chances but kept putting them wide.
I had Zola, Stoichkov, Makelele and then two others I can’t even remember. Went for Stoichkov since he looks fun.
