Ta.
Still sat on the level 30 reward player. Gotze was the original choice, but see no harm in waiting. Who did you (all) take?
I completely misread the movement of the doors (along with assuming it would be crap) and skipped. As I skipped I was like 'wait was that white? Nah'.

I took Gotze. Sold Havertz FUTBirthday to put him in the team. Perfect timing as his MOTM took another 40k off the price when it came out.
Got to gold 2. Lewa was really good. He is super strong and can actually hold-up and dribble with the ball. Finished the WL with 28 goals, 12 assists from 24 games. He fits my playstyle really well. Much better than Haland. Ive sold
Rafa - Nothing special. 5/10
Grimaldo - Good. Fast and seem to win his fair share of tackles 7/10
Hummels - despite the lack of pace, he really is a good card. 8/10
Gnabry - disappointing. Didn't seem that fast or agile enough to make a difference. 4/10
Muller - Solid. Could get more out of his position. 7/10
Lewa - pure beast 10/10
I got good prices on all those cards so I haven't lost anything. Im sitting on 4.5m now and no idea what to do with it.
I want to test more of the HiGh/High central midfielders on getting forward. Henderson looks good but that does that new Radja and Renato cards

Packed Lala from one of those Ligue 1 booster packs we got ages ago and Thiago Silva from the other one.
Best packs in ages.
Oof. What a start to the week. Look like two top cards. Especially Lala.
Sincere, Raja is always broken (or atleast he used to be) I would say getting him into something would be fun.
Seems like we've all been graced with good pack luck today!
Speaking of which, going through the Copa Libertadores this time, opening a Small Prime Mixed Players Pack, and out pops a tradeable TOTS Tagilafico, who is straight onto the transfer list. Incredibly he only sells for about 110k, but still decent.
For this Weekend League, I'm going for the following:
Will switch to 4-2-3-1 in game, which does mean either Ziyech or Müller sitting deeper, but it shouldn't be an issue. Might possibly upgrade to the 96 Ziyech, and also thinking about getting TOTSSF Gnabry for LW. The 5* weak foot for Bellarabi is a huge plus however.
I love that Bellarabi card Thommo.
Last night's TOTS.
At this stage of 5he game, 99% of the icons are not viable enough to out in your team. They are outshined by lots of cards
Also, that Japenese moment's card is bonkers from the bench. In 20 WL games, 45 minutes each, he had 15 goals and 22 assists.
That's Golovin done.
Not looking forward to the online grind to get Gueye, Joao Pedro and Martnez.
That Lucas card they've just released (with a 5* WF no less) will be one of the best players in the game.
Cost is outrageous though
The sbc never expires. It's a good thing he is costly. Everyone would have him otherwise.
I think you could drop one of the 89s and it would be about right.
Golovin and Gueye in today. Been playing the former behind Ben Yedder (making him a CAM months ago paying out) and I quite like him.
SS Gueye is one of my centerbacks so this does mess up my balance a little bit.
Finally doing the objectives for Joao Pedro (6 more wins needed), Martinez (2 more wins needed) and Gueye (many things needed).
Been using 95 Maradona for the Martinez one and it's embarrassing how crap EA made him.
Alex Teixeira from the Clash of the Titans SBC packs.
He looks mustard.
TOTS Dumfries looks bonkers for 60k.
van de Beek for 100k is also amamzing value. So is that moments Lucas for 1m. Most of the moments sbc that don't expire have been priced really well.
That's Joao Pedro, Martinez and Gueye all done.
I was using Ziyech's moments card for quite a bit of it and fuck me is he good. His TOTS must be unreal.
I want to get that Van De Beek but I just cant get him in my team. I do have his 84 IF lying in the club that I could sell to make him much cheaper
New permanent SBC is Cyprien. Looks like a great card but he is already the league SBC and we have had two midfielders this week
What a bizarre choice of card for them to offer.
I can't find a formation that can get the buyable Ajax three on 100 chem without using icons.
Duplicate Cyprien. They really lack innovation.
Which three?
VDB, Ziyech and one of Promes/Tagilafico?
VDB, Ziyech and Tag. Forgot about Promes. 5* star skillers don't attract me as my playstyle does not utilise the skillers.
Something like the 4-2-2-2 is the best bet. You can sort of box Ziyech in as left CAM. by using VDB upfront to start. He would still need a link but Dutch is much better than Morocco!
This weekend I think was genuinely the worst edition of Weekend League I've experienced in the past 2 years.
Notwithstanding my connection issues (I played half with my shitty WiFi, and half tethered to the phone), but I've never dominated so many games with possession and shots only to lose to late goals on the counter. All I wanted was 11 wins, and I ended up awake past 4am this morning desperately trying to get the 11th. I lost on penalties, and twice to 120th minute goals, all games that just lasted an age for no reward. The final win was thankfully a very satisfying comeback - 3-0 down at half time, and I came back to win 5-4 thanks to a Werner hat trick and last minute winner. Even got a congrats message from the guy I'd beaten, so some semblance of decency in the community there.
Shattered now, and it will most definitely not be worth it when I get a terrible 88 rated red pick on Thursday.
I brought in Gotze this morning.
Kinda can't be arsed with playing it much at the moment but will get involved if they release any decent new players for the final season. I don't know why they didn't do more players like Dan James/Osimhen. They were really fun objectives.
Picked up Gotze as my level 30 pick too, and I also did the Kamada SBC - didn't really get on with him that well in his few sub appearances in FUT Champions, but I'll give him more of a run next week.
I've just realised the objectives for the TOTSSF Martinez expire at 6pm. I won't be home from work before then and I still need 3 wins with finesse goals from Argentinian midfielders to get him done. That'll be only the 3rd objective player in all of FIFA that I haven't got. Completed Golovin over the weekend and will work on Joao Pedro this week.
Only had enough for three of those Ligue 1 player picks and talk about shit. Lecomte the best one. Pack luck has been atrociuos for the last two weeks.
150k....

Don’t think that includes the anchor I put on him. Perfect for anyone using the SBC cards.
Bugger all from two of those Ligue 1 'upgrade' packs, then did Nani and logged off.
Ive come to the conclsuion that my LAM and RAM positions are irrelevant. I could play any player there and they are all doing the same thing. Does that mean I should change formation?
I thought the same for the 4-2-3-1 in general, my wide CAMs have never made much of an impact.
Until I used Promes this week - the guy is fucking lightning. He can break clear of 99% of defenders and score from outrageous positions around the corner of the penalty area. I would definitely recommend him if you can afford it.
Picked this up on Friday to give a go at grinding TOTS whilst off work for a week. I'd previously finished the basic SBC's and two whole games of rivals placements in the ten hour trial, but otherwise pretty much starting from scratch. Packed TOTS Verratti early on via the Marquee Matchups along with TOTS Andre, which along with MOTM Havertz got me £125 total, and allowed me to start BPM'ing yesterday. I'm up to 900 players in the club now, and just completed the Hybrid Nations SBCs, packing Renato Sanches TOTS (450k+) and TOTS Ricuarte (40kish), so I'm pretty happy with progress so far. Might play some games soon.
I can't get along with 4-2-3-1 - as you say I just find the L/R CAMs don't really get involved. Prefer 4-1-2-1-2 as then they tend to cover the flanks better and you have more control over the types of runs they make.
Ligue 1 CB looks alright, will finish that off at some point soon. Makes me wish I'd got Miranda a while back.
Earned that Chilean RW from objectives and he's very good. He shifts down the wing like he's on a motorbike and has a lovely habit of getting a toe to the ball just before someone wipes him out for a penalty.
TOTS packed so far from 3 days of BPM - 2 x Renato Sanchez 3 x Andre (one untradeable), 1 x Verratti, 1 x some South American CAM I’ve never heard of.
Planning to use Sanches and the untradeable Andre along with the Ligue 1 league SBC Gabriel, and have already done the Payet SBC with largely untradeable stocks and have bought Kamara for LB. I’m about 300k short of finishing the team off with Ohsimen up front, and bringing in the Argentine league right side of the team, but it’s looking good for a competitive team by the end of the week if I keep pulling these TOTS.
I'm about to fucking give up.
Pack luck is so bad.
Rajkovic & Hamid from the guaranteed TOTS sbc's. So many duds in a row now.
My Ligue Un side is currently:
Red 83 Benitez
FB Rafael
Birthday Bakayoko (7 chem)
Ferdinand (desperation...)
Birthday Amavi
TOTS Gueye
Objectives Aouar
Boulaya
TOTSM Golovin
TOTS Payet
85 Ben Yedder
I would be happy with a serious amount of cards from the league as they would improve my team. Preferably they cost more than the SBC.....
I also think I am going to take Gattuso from the swaps.
I was just about to submit the 86 rated team for the guaranteed Ligue 1 and then I didn't click submit.
Did the LATAM MLS one and got Aued. Costs amount the pack costs and will go into the French one. There were very few players I would have kept.
When is saw Argentina, CM I got excited it was that Fernandez card.
This explains a lot of what I dislike about this game. I swear I spend half my time saying “someone fucking move”
