Assuming everyone's hard passing on Rashford?
Assuming everyone's hard passing on Rashford?
It's a little more tempting now I've got a red TAA, but ultimately my main squad (if I have one anymore) is Bundesliga, so I'll only do him if I get a shedload of good pulls from league SBCs.
I am. I will be buying his TOTS at some point. Rather use that one.
Icardi OTW my best pack in rewards this morning.
I’m tempted for the Bruno link, but having gone and sunk a load in for Modric and Eder Milatao, and with Osimhen the greatest striker I’ve ever played with not called Mbappe (that agility, balance and speed on a guy of his frame and physicals is obscene), I’m struggling to see how I get him in.
Oddly, Benjamin Andre (TOT, 88) is a quiet start of the team too. With a shadow he’s a brilliant stay back CM. If I could ask for better in one position, it would be RW - Raphinha is decent but the 3* WF is just a major issue for me. Aouar has less of a problem as I can shift him onto his right more frequently.
Firmino looks meh, especially when Bruno is near enough the same player for free
EDIT: Winter Refresh Cornet out of a 1 player pack I got for playing a friendly to do the Pirlo/Ronaldinho objectives

Yeah, was hoping for a 96+.
Still, another card on the "to do once the game has finished" pile.
90 Bruno in.
1 goal and 3 assists in wins 89 Mendy done so far. Got the clean sheet one with a rage quit too.
3/4 and 6/10 after a couple of games tonight.
Apparently Cavani is the objective this week.
Given how unusable he'll likely be that better be in Squad Battles.
I thought he would have got some end of an era or something.
95 Zlatan. Wrong striker from the 'leak'
They've nailed it again.
Now have to graft those Zlatan wins while doing Bruno. Atleast I only need one more Mendy goal win.
Or just buy Ronaldo when I have to use a bunch of Portuguese players.

Ronaldo is going to get a lot closer to a thousand goals for me due to this. 839 and counting.
Kubo for just playing some Squad Battles is pretty great
Agreed. I can have the game play those for me over the weekend no bother.
Despite saying I wasnt going to get him I am almost done with Mendy. Without the Bruno stuff I know for certain I wouldnt have bothered.
Kubo looks great for that little effort, but the card has brought up something that annoys me. His pace on the card is 99, but his actual stats are 99 acc and 93 speed, which means he isn't a 99 pace player. I know the on card stats are rarely perfect representations of a player, but when there are only two stats to be averaged it seems particularly egregious.
Yeah, it's down to that shitty formula they use.
Richarlison is closing in on two hundred goal contributions for me and he's barely over a hundred games. He's just absolutely bananas.
I can get Kubo in my team on full chem as he soft links to Kamada. If he feels like sterling, it sould be a fun card as gnabry isnt cutting it for me.
Currently have a 85 dup Gulasci and a 90 Ramsey waiting to be recovered. Fuck all interests me from the SBC right now though
Kubo done. I probably played about 3 games worth of time and let it run the rest of the time.
I've just had a look at that Zlatan and it can fuck right off. That's an obscene card.
Shit balance mind, which I rate highly in this. But otherwise, yeah - he’s gonna piss off. Especially offering a strong link to that obscene Kessie.
Poor balance combined with high strength and ball control tends to result in a player winning a shitload of free kicks, in my experience.
I don't think he'll be that good. He'd have been much harder to get if he was.
I'll do him because it's Ibra and I wanted one of his cards mind.
Better start this weekend, 4-2 both defeats on pens and after last minute equalisers. Despite lower OVRs, Sarr and Militao are massive steps up. Two goals and two assists for 87 Mendy from LB too, so I’m hopeful I can upgrade all the way to the 93 through rivals.

That Eriksen looks well expensive.
He does. He looks filthy though.
Im going to play a bonkers all-out attack type tactic. Not sure what formation yet but im bot going for any objectives. Bo interest in Zlatan, Mendy or Bruno.
Did Eriksen using couple dup untradeables and what I had in the club.
Seria A front 6 is now (in a 4-2-3-1)
90 PM Ramsey 94 SH Kessie
88 SS Mkhi 94 SH Eriksen 90 HL Mertens
92 TOTS Joao Pedro
Can recommend the 424. I’m using it for my all out attack plan, and it really does work a treat. As long as one mid is stay back and cover central and the other is neutral and cover wings with H/H or M/H it doesn’t get anywhere near as exposed as I thought it would.
Stay central on the big man Striker, get behind on a nippy agile one. Loads of movement, keeps their defence wide and cuts through drop back really well. Don’t drop back on defence, want that defensive line moving up to win balls before they get into the final third. Works best vs 442, 433 all variants, gets exposed a bit vs 41212 and 4321/4312

5-5. Two DCs whilst winning and a hammering at the hands of TOTS Messi and TOTS Neymar accounting for the losses, frustratingly.
433v3
RB, LB - Join attack, overlap,
CDM - stay back, cover center
CMs - stay back, stand on the edge for crosses, conservative interceptions
LW, RW - free roam, come short
CF - False 9
10 depth
I went from div 3 to 1 last night. All my players are in the centre except my full-backs who are the outlets out wide. I keep possession until the perfect oppourtinty comes. I don't think there was a game I didn't score 3 goals. I do get exposed on the counter but fuck it. Brought back enjoyment.
Persic as a CM next to modric is great. Both full backs are H/H so they go up and down extremely well
People playing for obj does help as people quit real fast
Did the Prime Icon pack and got Klose
He's not bad and would probably have been great 6 months ago. As it is he's probably only just scraping the top 10 strikers I've got at my club. Ah well, that's the dice roll.
That wouldn’t be so bad if heading wasn’t a complete shit show.
Its no longer enjoyable. Im playing against 11 men behind the ball.
Shane Lone in the flashback SBC.
Did a few 82-88s and packed 2x Maguire OTW (86), 88 HL Moreno and some other ok stuff. Did the Party bag due to that Maguire dupe and got SS 88 Trent.
Drop back, low depth still being so OP (I’d argue moreso this year than last) is disappointing. They really need to do more to emphasise the issues of such strategies - as it stands, it’s actually a great way to attack as the whole, u-turn through ball to player rushing from deep thing is also OP.
That and skill move spamming makes for some boring and frustrating games.
Allan for me from the Flashback SBC.
Guess that's a win and nice to get one I didn't already have, but shame to get one I could craft anyway.
True. Hopefully, it gets addressed in the next one. Once you win the ball in defence, when you press pass you can ping it straight to your ST with pinpoint accuracy. Passing is too assisted and tackling is too assisted for me.
If you want to defend a lead and time waste, once you have the ball. Just put down the pad. The game will defend and shield the ball for you.
Mendy done, Zlatan in, Kubo in and I am 1/2 way through the next Bruno. Productive weekend.
Took me a while to get on with Ronaldo this time but when it clicked it went well. Eriksen felt great in game too.
Bowing out at 8-6 this weekend, can’t really be arsed with more than that. Played some good stuff, and could easily have won in 5 of the defeats had it not been for pens and DC’s so I’m happy enough for my second venture into weekend league, as I’m not going to be playing the next weekend with the plans I have, and perhaps not the weekend after that.
Started in pretty good form and got to 7-3, before a crushing 4 game losing streak. A couple of quality opponents, but a couple of really awful games, where my players felt like they were in treacle and nothing I did could stop the loss. Thankfully I turned that around and won 4 of my last 5, ending on 11-8. Not the 14 wins I would have liked, but I didn't have as much time this weekend.
Prime Zanetti is still a stalwart in the team, and he's closing on 900 games now. Thinking of changing the team up a little next weekend - Diaby and Mendy in for Perisic and Leibold on the left hand side, with Kamada and Kubo coming in on the right for Witsel and Bellarabi. Witsel and Perisic have both been very good, but it'd be nice to mix up some of the players for a weekend and move them to the bench.
This is the team im using at the moment. I want to try TOTS Ramos for next WL over Prime Ferdiand. Kubo isnt as great as I would have hoped. He does not seem fast enough at all.

Fabinho vs Foden for the 'SUMMER SHOWDOWN'
Both up to a 92.
88 Vardy from FUT 17 SBC.
Fabinho looks miles better than Foden
96 rated CDM before upgrade/chem style
