What are you trading? I've been mostly buying up ahead of the league SBCs Bologna, Sampdoria and Udinese silver defenders.
Picked up a Florenzi for 20k the other day to go in my L1 team, and his upgrade looks tasty. Also heard Osimhen is in TOTW which could make his card quite excellent.
Expected a little pick up this morning with people seeing this but nope. Still right around where I bought him. Might take a small loss on the latter ones which would be negated by the early buy. 100% going keep one though for my Ligue Un side as he does look very good.
Werner, Dr Rashford MBE, Osihmen, Ibra and Florenzi looking like confirmed.
Bought OTW Florenzi last week as always loved his card as an attacking full back. Might make me move away from a first owner untradeable set up if he does get the IF.
Which might also mean doing Koscielny.
I've got a confession: I did the Koscielny SBC I had enough in the club to do it for about 30k. Figure the fodder is cheap to replace at the moment.
To be fair he looks pretty ace and with the a FO Marquinos and the Florenzi SBC I'm tempted to commit to a L1 team. Main problem is there's only a few monster players and Neymar/Mbappe are well out my price range for the moment. Ben Yedder is pretty great though.
Selling rare bronzes and 10 Rivals games to play.

Was hoping Florenzi would jump up to 40k+
He's cheaper than when I first packed him.
Luis Alberto and Javi Martinez UCL cards from a pack. Should make it easier to do the objectives.
Best part of 100k made from that.
Futbin solutions moved to using gold players the user base is so dense.
Just faced someone with a skill rating of 1,368, against my 860.
Nice match making there EA.
Vydra bossed it for me in the silver stuff. Absolutely unnecessary but it was 5-2 at the time
The Dortmund assists objective is broken, right?
It's counting only 1 per game for me despite the wording suggesting it's just 5 assists.
Yep. Apparently Felix is fine
Must be why Felix is winning.
Fucking EA.
I've taken a stand and refused to finish that poorly implemented piece of shit set of objectives.
That new silver card looks special.
Yeh, it did my tits in, that.
Looking good for Rank 1 D3 rewards tomorrow, along with my Gold 3. Hopefully I can actually pack someone over 85 OVR. It's been slim pickings this year.
What level is everyone right now?
I'm currently on 20, wondering if that's a decent pace so far or not.
I don't think I ever bothered getting to the max level in a season last year.
Level 22, 55K Points for me
Diego Costa? Pickford (lol)? Interesting to see what they do with that
Basically anyone who's been dismissed for violent conduct.
I took untradeable rivals rewards as I've decided to start saving packs for TOTY.
Couple of minor league shire hawks from champs picks, only TOTW Zlatan to talk about from the packs.
Managed to get to Rank 2 late last night, and took untradeables. I was debating saving them for Friday and the new promo, but I figured pack weight would be so low it's not worth it. Nothing special but a lot of 82s, and some boards - Burki, Jorginho, Kostic and the best of all, Allan. Didn't realise he was still worth 45-50k, so he's going straight into the first team.
Pure bollocks from rewards although I did get a Modric last night from one of the packs. Some Belgian League shitter from the TOTW pack
I took untradeables (and rescued my dupe untradeable Gomez for MM's) and will save them for tomorrow along with the MM's from today. Also continued a club stock on pretty much every card on the first page of the 84-86 plus the lowest few of the 87-89 of here https://www.futbin.com/stc/cheapest
Leaves me with not too many coins on hand but I am happy with my teams right now so no big deal to wait on these cards to rise.
Also brought in a few silvers to top that team up since EA really seem to be going in on silver stars

Vydra comes off the bench for James and we got into a 4-2-3-1 with Gray upfront and Vydra in behind him.
Ending up doing POTM Kramaric which only cost about 20k along with some stuff in the club.
I find it infuriating how easy it is for people to sneak goals on the break. A lot of Rivals games I'm completely dominating only for my opponent to break clear with pacey players and score with their only chances. Case in point, this game which at half time, looked like this:
Thankfully, I was more clinical second half and forced a rage quit. 7 goals for Kramaric in his 2nd game.
I hate myself for it, but the game is just easier (for shit people like myself at least) when playing drop back and/or 1 depth. Anything else and I get sliced apart so easily.
Buying tons of points and playing 1 depth, you scummer.
I’m continuing the puritanical fight by having only my most defensive formation at less than 6 depth, for I, and considerably am holier than thou.
I've stocked up on Chelsea players as they're likely to be in the MM at the weekend and are mega cheap at the moment. Probably worth looking at Dortmund vs. Schalke and Barca vs. Real too
Results wise, it's working. I genuinely couldn't get out of division 8 last year.
As for the points, now it's dawned on me I can still open packs that way, while saving everything else for TOTY, I'm very pleased I decided to do that, even if it is a staggering waste of money.
I think my tactics are between 2-4 depth.
All on balanced.
I have it on the lowest depth of the middle section (4?) and play "Pressure on heavy touch" and "Long ball". Idea is to win it back then get it up to the strikers quickly on the counter.
Pressure on Heavy Touch
Width 5
Depth 4
Possession
Width 5
Players in Box 4
Corners 3
Free Kicks 3
I should add, I have an all out attack tactic which I switch to if I'm playing someone who isn't miles better than me.
Ibrahim Niane.
Looks decent but an 84 with 1 TOTW is a little much imo.
Agreed. Though they are playing to the market 100%.
Loading screen has Napoli CF which makes you think Mertens but that would be a dribbling downgrade. Milik with a position change would fit.
I enjoyed his IF, but agree with you there Mahow. Too pricey.
They really need to put out a few high-rated but actually decent SBCs.
I’m sure you know it’s in jest. Albeit, I would absolutely delight in turning you over in Rivals if I faced you.
As usual, my opposition is just that it’s far too easy to defend that way, it removes the skill. Problem is, rely entirely on manual defending and playing a more positive approach and you also make it easy for the opposition to counter, one through ball, keep on the right trigger, cut back, rinse-repeat. I’m not sure what can be done about that - it’s kinda realistic... It does take better players to play Man City football, it is easier to defend when you’re only defending what’s in front of you and dropping deep... the bit that makes it less oppressive in real life is that a) there ain’t no matchmaking for most games of real football - if you’re shit, you still need to play the best in the league; b) to do so for 90 minutes is sapping, and countering effectively is difficult. For b) I don’t think there’s an obvious solution, except maybe having the defending team tire more rapidly.
Renato Sanches is now extinct, with a max bin of 120k. I bought a clean version of him last night for 110k.
He was 70k on Sunday.
Scoring with Ashley Young, who keeps falling over.
