Also, I saw a comment on Futbin regarding Inaki which is brilliant.
The dribbling version should have been upgraded to 5* skills from 4 and the shooting version should have gone from 2* WF to 3*.
It would make the dribbling one OP but it would have been cool.
Today is a big day. I finally scored an overhead kick
Congratulations. I swear I scored one but the game wasn't having it.
How's weekend league going thommo?
Finally scored my first free kick on the new PES. And a truly, truly great own goal.

I haven't started yet. Luckily I've got tomorrow as well due to the extension but I will probably get round to starting later this afternoon. Might stream a bit too if the internet can handle it.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Would be bang up for watching some of that if you do stream.
If my internet can handle it, you should be fine.

Bronze packs, Squad Battles and maybe some rivals if I can stomatch the grind.
So I've discovered that after OTW's initially being broken for the 'rare' players objectives, RB's are now too.
How can they get this stuff wrong?
The FIFA gods smiled upon me today - did the Mukilele objectives and the new SBC they released for the Mega Pack and got Wijnaldun and Sterling (untradeable) out of them.
Mukilele wasn't as much of a slog as I'd thought as I have Mbappe and Zidane loaners, but the French defender assists are horsewank. Theo Hernandez did the job, just.
IF 82 Olmo from that new SBC with a 84 Pizzi, 83 Fernando and a hunter hiding behind it.
Not too shabby at all.
UCL Moses from mine
Going to start my Weekend League shortly. Don't expect anything other than mediocre gameplay.

IF Delaney (looks filthy) and Kepa the two best cards in my rewards.
I packed a Delaney (tradeable) the other day. Instantly sold him.
Will look to pick him up though if he dips below 30k.
60k right now. Think he might be worth keeping around.
I could go to a 5 atb starting and move him into midfield with Witsel and Sabitzer. Change Kramaric to hunter and move him up top. Would be sorted with my Bundesliga spine for a while.
Icardi, De Vrij, Thorgan and De Gea from my packs.
Not bad overall there. Esp when that stuff goes back up. FO DDG could be nice for swaps too.
Davidson Sanches for me from E1 rewards. Been a bit shit with packs this year.
Absolute shit from all my packs today. Not sure there was a single useable card there, aside from a few chem cards.
Opened my preorder packs due to them scummily expiring and got UCL Fernandinho and some 83 fodder.
The Rare Megas from Squad Battles went on the TOTY pack pile, which is now up to 38 packs.
All objectives are now done, so plan for this week is to nail Elite 1 in that early doors while also qualifying for hell champs. Need another 450 or so points from Rivals.
Should scrape rank 1 in D3 again, on 14600 with all my games played. WL got off to a flyer at 9-3 before going 1-5 last night up against super teams and super players, with a few postings. I hate playing in the 1-4am slot as it’s always full of them, but the missus being at home means my time in front of the box is limited to that...
Some decent rewards and I should be able to upgrade to Auba up front with a few other tinkering moves. I’m excited to use him - haven’t done so since he was at Dortmund due to his old M/L work rates but with him now H/H he should be fun.
I had a shaky start last night to WL. 3-4 currently, with two very late losses in there. Worst one of all was a game where I found myself 3-0 down, dragged it back and took it to extra time before going 5-3 up inside the first half, only to lose it 6-5 thanks to my keeper palming in a free kick in the 119th minute.
Defensive upgrades are definitely a must. OTW James is brilliant in midfield though, with 7 goals and 6 assists so far.
Grinding some SBs for the loan Icon objective first, and will try and finish MMs and other SBCs off before cracking back on with the WL today.
Swaps cards found in the code. Seems a little early for Icon Swaps but I guess we shall see.

I need to get on those Oblaks quite soon I feel.
That FUTdonk guy reckons it might be to do with some sort of Twitch viewing token collecting shit
Does have those colours. Twitch streams with a muted tab ftw.
Tokens for watching 1 hr of each event.
The event dates:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...fa_21_you_can/
Means the 100k pack, 5 tokens, isn't obtainable until January.

Rivals and SB.
Doing any of the friendlies? I missed them adding that but probably won’t be playing tonight
Don't think so. I'm not really a fan of playing in that mode if there's no player to get.
I quite like the friendlies. It's cool to play with random players occasionally.
Picked up Kroos and Koke out of a Season pack plus a duplicate untradeable Lucas Moura
Also, Sabitzer and Laimer from the Bundesliga are cracking players for cheap
Haven't tried Sabitzer but I completely agree on Laimer.
He's brilliant.
I got him from that SBC pack today. Thinking of trying a triple in game swap to put him RB, Mukiele at CB and then Delaney as my stay back CDM.
Would mean Kramaric up top but I think could work if I get pace around him.
It's been a shambles so far, and I don't expect it to get any better, but I'm going to stream the rest of my WL.

Good luck Thommo. Back on tonight and 3-0 so far.
Watching thommo he's playing someone with red goal colours. It shouldn't be allowed.
7-2 for the night brings me up to Gold 2. That’ll do. Been hammering fuckers tonight.
Finally got to 11 wins - that was tough going for my first WL on FIFA 21. Slipped to 6-10 and was letting a shedload of goals in early on in games putting me under pressure, and making me chase the game. Thankfully, I won 5 of my next 6 to end up 11-11 and earn a respectable record at least.
I found a lot of opponents would blitz me early on, with heavy press, quick ping-pong passes and constant sprinting. If I could weather the storm, I could pick them off as the game developed. If I slipped behind, I'd chase the game and compromise how I wanted to play.
A number of players need to be mentioned. OTW James ended with 27 goals and 14 assists from 22 games, including multiple screamers. IF Matej Vydra was impressive linking up with him - he scored 23 and assisted 20. Finally, Allan was absolutely brilliant as the box-to-box midfielder. Seemed to win every tackle, and pushed forward to contribute to the tune of 9 goals and 18 assists.
Still going thommo?
EDIT: Good effort!
How many of the 4 tactical presets do you use Thommo and what settings do you go for?
At the moment I'm lurching from a drop back/1 depth to a ridiculous all out attack, with the one I use depending on how good the person I'm facing is after 30 minutes in.
My custom tactics are fairly vanilla for now, as I'm still working out what formation is best for me. 4-3-3 (4) was fun this weekend, but does lack some safety at the back. I use attacking and ultra-attacking quite liberally when I'm behind, otherwise I'm on balanced. I'll go defensive VERY rarely if it's a narrow lead late on.
I use both balanced defence and attack for the regular tactic, with 5 depth, and 6 players in box. For attacking, I have press after possession loss on 6 depth, and fast build up in attack with 6 players in box. Ultra attacking is constant pressure on 8 depth and fast build up with 7 players in box.
For the rare occasion I go defensive, it's balanced defence on 4 depth, and possession attack with 5 players in box.
I did enjoy the outlet on the wings in that 4-3-3 you were using, plus the three central midfielders.
I should experiment more really, but normally every year I stumble upon one I like and stick with it. This year it's 4-4-2.
The update has apparently increased competitor mode difficulty.
I liked Squad Battles being a preserve for the shit. If it now becomes something that Division 1 wankers and people making it easier through co-op do, I'll be disappoint.
Can't you just turn it off? The AI tends to just fuck about doing pointless skill moves but still mostly plays the same, just with more stepovers.
4-3-3 (4) is my formation of choice at the moment. If only EA could program midfielders to track back, it'd probably be perfect (the technology just isn't there yet)
I did drop in and out of Thommos stream whilst I was enjoying Mahows demise on MNF. I saw one that I think ended 6-4. So good to see the WL hasn't changed.
You can't, but have you played Squad Battles on legendary against a good team? Even the shit ones with a decent player or two are something of a challenge.
Played a quick friendly (double up on dailies and the challenge) and was 3-0 up inside 12 mins. Lad seemed to remember it was no rules with regards to tackles but not the offside rule.....
