Walkout in Alderweireld.
Walkout in Alderweireld.
Fucking hell Yev, you jammy bastard
That Hazard is disgustingly expensive.
This years Bale.
I am three midfielder goals away from Ziyech.
The only good thing is no expiry so you can grind towards it.
Untradeable pack from one of the 89 squads.
From both of the 89's and the 88.
Note today down as the first time I got "the itch."
After the Star Wars game was completed I've not had anything to do and this is usually my peak FIFA time.
Latest walkout is Ederson.
Wrong Brazilian keeper, lads.
Evening.
Can I pull together 1.35m? Do I want to?
Oh and 29 packs left.

There's no time limit on Hazard? Is that right?
Just packed a duplicate untradeable Kane.
About to finish Ziyech. His loan was a fun little card.
I need to get working on him.
It's getting the game for cheap. If I can do that I'm golden, but we're in super saving mode atm so I can't be shelling out full price.
I was looking at sending Borderlands to CeX. If I do that for voucher I can pick up and get on with RDR2 which I also have on the wanted list.
Packs done.
Only got Kepa from the Ultimate Pack I was hoarding.
Finished the icon swap token from doing the Championship/SPL one. Ryan Kent is so fun to use.
Was bringing on Messi, Kante and KDB. The latter is unreal. I know it's squad battles, but the team around him was mostly silvers and he notched up a shitoad of goal contributions. He now has 17 goals and 10 assists from 8 games. I need him in the team full time.
I bring Kent on as a striker late in games where I'm struggling and people just find him impossible to deal with. The combination of pace, agility on the ball, and five star weak foot makes him almost unstoppable.
I can't think of a better 82 in the game, or any version really.
What are Rangers chances of progressing? I'll forget my "Stevie G" hate over that one.
Very good. Braga are twenty points behind Porto in the league and we dealt with Porto pretty comfortably. Outplayed them in both ties and it was only a fucking wondergoal that got them a draw over there.
Nice to hear. Having weighed things up I'll be going for Mbappe with a stream tonight.
My luck overall has been obscene, but my luck with the Ligue 1 packs utterly tragic. I figure the former will eventually outweigh the latter.
Oh and what I've found really interesting about Kante is that despite having stats that would suggest otherwise, his shooting is still well below that of an 89 rated striker.
I can't quite come up with a theory as to why, but it is interesting.
That's interesting as I feel the shooting on his UCL Live card is better than the 68 rating he has.
Finished on 17 wins in WL and decided to do obj. Given its win at all cost decided to use a wolves style 532 with Adama and sterling as a wing back and just pinging balls to them wide David Beckham style.
I beat a guy 2-0 who had toty mbappe and Kante. I could tell he was fuming as every day his midfield got the ball would spam offside trap and bring out his GK. He couldn't compete.
Xmas Delph is a machine.
6 wins needed to finish the Squad Battle Icon Swap objectives.
Tedium has properly set in with it now though.
No real new content tonight sucks.
Decided I'd do the Serie A (the majority at the least) tonight, opening packs as I go along in the hopes of packing something big as I'm a little short on coins/players so doubt I can do it all without selling something/packing something needed.
Complete Bernardo Silva
Do the TOTY Kit (I know, I hate me too)
Build some upgrades
Pack Mbappe

Sold 93 kane. He was a monster against shit players but when I matched my level and above. He just isnt agile enough. It's sad the game isnt balanced correctly with big guys. If the agility and balance isnt there. You can't compete.
93 Lewa looks a little more agile, with less strength.
That's so true Sincere.
And that's why I don't understand why everyone was so keen to see an Ibra flashback. Heading is completely broken and he has so little agility it'll be frustrating as fuck to use him.
A duplicate Keylor Navas that I'm putting into the kit SBC.
Finally got a walkout from one of these SBC packs.
Benzema from Torino.
That Brescia one is horrible.
Can't wait to use Tonali though, he looks incredible.
Wont have to tweak my first team for a while due to icon swaps but I'll need to do something to fit him in properly. I imagine I'll go for Del Piero now.
Laporte from one of the three player packs.
89 Moore at 5 swaps, or 200k. Looks very good. Especially for a non heading meta.
I have had my eye on him. Building an English squad unintentionally at the moment too and he'd slot quite nicely into it. Him and Lineker would be sweet for that.
You got all of that just from the TOTY promo?
From the packs I'd saved yeah.
All told I think I've opened as many as last year. Maybe more. Beyond what I started with I didn't track them this time though.
You're going to need to teach me this account management one day. I can do the playing side of it alright but I could never get the likes of your grand pack openings going.
Teach me how to play the actual game and you're on.
As for how to do it, it's just grinding the shit out of the game and takes a long time. That won't be for a lot of people, but I love it. I make Bethesda games intentionally harder for myself, so this first owner grinding has been right up my street.
Happy to share more though, but I do genuinely want a year off next year mind. I've been at it for 3 years solid now and it's too much. Building the side I have this year seems a nice run in to taking a break.
From a 3 player upgrade pack.

Makes me want to keep going for Mbappe.
