Nothing of note from my packs so I did the Felipe Anderson SBC. Still on the fence about Alex Sandro.

IF Mario Rui in my packs this morning. Nothing else.
People are predicting/expecting a FB Robben soon so I picked up a couple of RB Dumfries.
Does he play in Holland still? Quincy must have rocketed...
Plays for Groningen (so yes)
God damn, I was looking at the Promes for 250k, wish I'd dived in now.
Still showing at 246k on futbin
And Bamba got POTM
So much for the people pushing it was Mbappe.
Who the fuck was voting for Bamba?
Surely EA has fudged that.
Gutted about that.
UCL shitfest objectives starting soon.

The cost of that Bamba.
Shit value Flashback Khedira as well.
That have fucked that Bamba card. Khedira looks decent but nothing special.
500k+ apparently.
They're outdoing themselves in terms of killing the game in the menus this year.
Also, I was going to do the Polish independence kit as I always do them.
3 fucking segments...
I know there are brick slots in each team but it's still 22 players in total.
Also, no menu lag on the PS5
EA should have said it was such a simple fix to the problem, just splashing out £450 on a next gen console.
Cheers lads.
2-2 after four games in that UCL knockout thing. It's horrible.
Don't forget to get your pack for the Real/Liverpool thing if you did it (and chose Real). It's available now.
I need 2 from 2 to complete this UCL thing. This is terrible.
I'm 3-2 now and it's the sweatiest game mode outside of weekend league I've ever played.

Did it, 6-5.
Was planning to throw any games I had left to gift wins if I did it early, but almost everyone I came up against was enjoying 8 men behind the ball, 33% possession and then countering the shit out of me, so fuck that, the 12th game will never be played.
93 POTM Lewandowski is out. Around 300k from what I can see. 85, 85, 86
Cheaper than Bamba
So long Hwangers & Mash, you have served me well.
I also don't think I'll be doing Son now.
I might have to do him too. Have never had a Lewa special card.
Annoyingly I'm now down to my last 300k of coins, with millions tied up in investments. I really need (decent) icon SBC's to land tonight.
He's done and I'm down to just 67k.
I've also sold Sancho and brought in the cheaper Gnabry so Lewandowski is on full chem.
Is the new season here already?
Yep and the players are tragic.
I've just seen. Fucking hell. They're the worst ever.
Icon SBC's are going to be dreadful, aren't they?
The South Korean RM looks alright (although I wouldn't be able to start him), the La Liga CB looks like a fucking rock but the level 30 players are crap.
Just had such a satisfying win on Rivals.
Guy I was playing had a paint by numbers "budget meta" French/Premiership team and he was one of those slow paced drag-back possession with drop back dickheads.
I took the lead in the 34th minute with Allan thanks to nice work from Lewandowski and he hit back right before half time with Rodrigo. In the 56th minute he scored with Bale (he took his time with a celebration and replay for both goals) but Lewandowski won a penalty in the 61st minute which he converted.
From there it was a little cagey and I was struggling to get into the game plus I wanted to win so switched to my ultra attacking formation. He then scored with Gabriel Jesus but it was offside. I then scored with Talisca thanks to him using some muscle against a defender then made it 4-2 with Lewandowski creating some space and made it 5-2 from a corner in injury time.
This version of FIFA seems to be the first since 16 or 17 to suit my play style.
I missed this when looking through.

There's a horrible "cushion" one too.
Mid Figo, Mid Zanetti and Base VDS are here.
Figo, Van Der Sar and Zanetti SBCs are up.
Mid for Figo and Zanetti with the base for VDS.
Oh and loans for friendlies.....
I was thinking of doing Figo and then saw his requirements.
Bronze rare squad
Silver rare squad
81 rated with IF
82 rated, 1 Portuguese, 1 IF
86 rated, 1 Barca, 1 IF
87 rated, 1 Madrid, 1 IF
88 rated, 1 Serie A, 1 IF
89 rated.
Only 29 days too.
They do let you use red picks in place of the IF's though which is something I guess.
I wont be doing these. VDS would be the only consideration for me. Waiting for Beckham
They've not fucked it as much as I thought they would.
There had better be some available over TOTY mind. I suspect there won't be.
Figo loan requires all rare gold players but a min 60 team rating. I think thats meant to be min chem. Go ahead and throw your rare gold shitters in there before they fix it
Cheers Danny.
EA completely shitting the bed again, I see.
- Icon SBCs more expensive than buying the player off market although thankfully they've at least made the rewards tradable
- Did the loan icons, which will at least make some more options in friendly games (although they'll probably ruin those by putting game limits)
- Level 15 players are horseshit (82s?)
- Level 30 are dreadful. Will probably go for Romagnoli to help the FO team
The level 15 players are not horseshit.
Aidoo with a shadow is an 88 rated CB with 92 speed, 89 defending and 90 physical. He also has extremely high agility and balance for a defender (he has the second most balance for a CB) and Woo Yeong Jeong is the best Bundesliga RM other than the overpriced Bellarabi SBC card.
Never look at the number on the card, they're completely misleading. Those level 15 players (I haven't looked at the Serie A guy) are serious shit.
I'll give you Aidoo, but I don't really use my Serie A team all that much and already have Koulibaly and Romagnoli as FO. Could maybe do ok at DM in a pure shitkicker role.
Aidoo is from La Liga.
The Serie A player is Tello who is alright but nothing special.
Just played one of the best games in a long while.
Got matched up with a guy who was ridiculously good and absolutely lethal attacking. He went 3-0 up after 10 minutes as Ousmane Dembele and Talisca ripped me to shreds.
I thought fuck it and switched to my ultra attacking formation and he started struggling with the pressure. Missed some chances but Allan and Gnabry scored just before halftime and I knocked it down to attacking as my side were fucked.
Lewandowski levelled it up after 53 minutes but he started coming back into it and Ben Yedder scored from a perfect scoop turn inside the box. I had some more chances (including nipping in front of a short goal kick but fucked the finish) but finally Son made it 4-4 in the 86th minute. Kept trying but my side were dead and I couldn't find a winner.
The game is a genuine pleasure to play when you're playing someone who is actually trying to win.
Agree with that last comment.
If that UCL objective is anything to go by, I'm dreading weekend league tomorrow.
Looking at those cards more I think level 15 shits all over level 30. The winger looks like one of those who feels great in game, a Korean Kent. Aidoo with the shadow (as ‘how said) looks like a rock, he even has decent agility and balance for a CB. Tello is likely the worst of the three but he is 1 face start from Gullit gang with a gladiator. Could be very good box to box
