Yeah.
Very cheap and will help a lot with first owner stuff.

Goes right into the Serie A side I need to play with. Next to Tomiyasu.

Will he get an upgrade for winter refresh?
Sofifa has him at an 81, probably wouldn’t be enough to trigger an upgrade.
Anyone done Sanchez?
Not yet and I’m trying to avoid 3 star weak foot players in SBC’s, but I am tempted.
In other news I’ve finished Plea and all of the Icon Swap objectives, just a few of the Gold week 2 ones to do and I’ll be up to date with everything.
Thankfully not! I'm all over that 89 card though, requirements are decent and it looks insane.
Had a nice weekend away from FIFA for once. Popped on briefly to complete both the La Liga and Premier League SBCs. I was able to complete Norwich and Sheffield United for 11k apiece which seemed ok considering the prices of those silvers. Packed Son from one of the La Liga packs back and he's still worth around 180k so instantly made big profit. Might hold onto him for now as I haven't used him this year at all.
I also completed the 86 squad for Werner using untradeables, so I should get that done this week. I would love to do Smalling also as it's a nice cheap SBC and will link nicely with Futmas Murillo for Serie A objectives.
Engine that card and it looks very good.
Started and finished Politano over the last couple of days. Got lucky with one guy doing objectives that let me cycle through for around 10 goals but the rest was in games. I am down in Div 6 though now.
If heading wasn't intentionally broken then I'd be all over that card.
Finished my single player swaps today but right now I just can't be fucked playing online.
Tomorrow I'll just make myself play a couple even if they result in losses.
I've done Diego Costa. Looks very interesting with an Engine or possibly a Maestro on him. Love a big unit up front.
Since I ended up a few divisions down I have been rattling through Trossard too. Completed 6 levels in the last 5 games.
Trossard done. Probably took 8 games to finish the final 12 I had outstanding.
Completed Smalling using my club, and finished Werner for an overall outlay of about 75k. First two games using him and I've forced two rage quits, with Werner hitting a brace in both. If they were anything to go by, I'll be using him as my main striker until TOTS. He's fucking insane.
Who is everyone taking for level 20?
I was thinking Anderson and moving on my base Mane (pack pulled months ago) but Aouar looks like a very good card.
If I get there (I wont) I'll take Aouar.
I loved his FFS and TOTS cards last year although they've screwed him this year by giving him a 3* WF.
You reckon you wont get there? I am like 4k away and we still have another set of weeklies.
I had his TOTS last season too and loved it. Its whats making it a tough choice.

Did Diego Costa last night and he's fucking bonkers. Stuck a Shadow on him for the extra acceleration boost and he just goes straight through whoever's in his way, like a dad involving himself in an under eights game.
Pretty sure I will do the Diego Costa SBC, even more so after that rave review. It's pretty much doable using stuff sitting in my club.
A tougher decision is the Flashback Sanchez which runs out at 6pm today. He would be immense for any first owner Serie A team, and is miles ahead of any other LM/LW I currently have there (Douglas Costa is next best and I'm not even sure if he's first owned).
Haha, even though I settled on "First Owner" in the end, so not quite that, I didn't expect the team to be this good by now.
Looking forward to at least trying to play this game past the release of FIFA21 too. If they fixed heading, which they won't, I'd be happy to carry on playing this for a while. Smashing in goals with first owned Ronaldo and Messi seemingly never gets dull.
Must have loads of the weeklies left then?
Sane looks good, no time limit either.
I’m never going to stop playing this version at this rate.
I am in the process of gutting the club and I am back over 1m coins with a shit load of low level players to go.
I have done way too many SBCs since xmas. I need to relax a little bit now I have a couple of solid first teams (Prem, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 all covered) and get some coins in the club for the next upgrade.
I've gone elbows deep into my Hybrid teams now. One is a DE + ES mix and the other is something like a ES + NL combo with a bit of Serie A mixed in. Will probably rebuild both completely but I'm trying to find a way to just play with players I actually like/want to use.
Played 3 Rivals games.
First two I lost 2-1 (I was leading for most of the game before my team collapsed) and another 2-1 loss (he went 2-0 up I scored late and then he just passed around his back 4) but I won the third 3-1.
I changed formation from 4-2-2-2 (which just hasn't been working for me online for a while now) to the narrow 4-2-3-1 and it changed everything. I could have won more than 3-1 but I wasn't playing very confidently. Pirlo was useless as a wide attacking mid in the 4-2-2-2 as well but at CAM he was a revelation.
Finished the last 14 teams on the Eredivise SBC for about 70k and took Bazoer. Looks like a fun card for what is a quite fun team thats coming together.
I'm debating running back through the whole Eredivisie for him. Let me know if he is as good as his stats suggest. I did it once already and took Bahebeck who has been unstoppable in the Weekend League.
I'm actually pretty addicted to running through these league SBCs. Completed Ligue 1 last night and took the LW Maolida. Should help for both the Ligue 1 Icon Swap and the French goalscorers for Plea.
Completed the French goalscorers challenge for Plea last night - had a lot of fun using regular Ben Yedder, which is tempting me to bring in one of his special cards. However, I idiotically used only 8 first owner Ligue 1 players, which means, despite winning 3 games in Rivals, I still need another 4 to get the Icon Swap completed.
I also wrapped up the Saudi League SBC - decided to take Niakate despite the RB being the obvious choice for most players. Prime Zanetti has that spot locked down for me until TOTS at least.
I used FIF Ben Yedder (packed him untradeable) and the card is a lot of fun. He can get bullied sometimes but there is something about him.
Decided to take untradeable rewards for Division Rivals, and pulled IF 86 Lucas Leiva and ter Stegen in the same pack! ter Stegen was a duplicate and so went straight into the Diego Costa SBC, which I was then able to complete using 82s-83s in my club for no cost. Beginning to form a neat La Liga forward line through SBCs with Toko-Ekambi, Benzema and now Costa.
I'm having the same issue with the Bundesliga SBCs as I did with the Prem - Paderborn and Union Berlin are obscenely overpriced, with not many on the market.
Took tradeable as I want coins right now more than anything else and my best was Khedira
I don't really sell anyone anyway so I don't think I've ever taken tradeable or the coins. My main problem with every FIFA is I get way too attached to my untradeable special cards and am loathe to spend anything to upgrade. I end up with 4 or 5 main squads from different leagues, and a big pool of coins in the bank that I don't seem to touch.
Just played a rivals on the new patch and early signs are bad.
Tackling is even worse (I was running into opponent players directly at the ball and the ball would more than often bounce kindly for them in stride), passing seems mental (through balls especially), sliding players and pace has been nerfed.
Shooting seems better though.
I saw a lot of that on Reddit too. Sounds horrible but I haven’t been on yet to see.
Yeah I just took a look, I was hoping it was just a bad one game experience but it looks to be the way.
Really wish I hammered the Rivals swaps last week now. I've still got 2 for the Premier League and then 4 each for Ligue 1 and Serie A.
I played last night, after an update and it seemed fine, albeit that was only Squad Battles.
I would rather need 18 more wins online, than play those 18 squad battles games. It's a fucking shit way to play FIFA. I cant believe i spent FIFA 18 playing over 1000 games in the game mode.
I played 6 games in Rivals last night and it didn't seem too drastic.
Went on to lose 3-2 as well.
Ben Yedders 86 bit only needs an 80 rated team. It’s broken. Go do it.0
On mobile it says 85, 86, and 87. fuck
Just came on here to say that, tested it out and it works! Rare Electrum Players pack back too, although I got absolutely nothing of note back.
Why hasn't my OTW upgraded to the 88? That's fucking stupid.
