Depay looks good but I dont think that his cost vs other cards is worth it. He is liable to get something that matches it soon either way. I do like they bumped his long shots massively though.

An 85, I am thinking about it. 84 its already done. 86 is a yikes.
I am going to be ignoring the base icon upgrade again.
On the Base Icon, I've basically got a free swing at it after Cruyff, so I'll see what the drop weight looks like and maybe do it if it isn't all 85s coming out.
I don't have the resources to do it.
Nep got Deco, so not a good start.
74 rated Wes Morgan SBC up. Takes an 82 rated side. Pace boosted up to 73.
He's gonna be like VVD on crack in silver stars.
He looks mega.
I can't start him in my team but I might have to bring him on early.
And talking of defenders, I've cracked and bought Varane.
I did him. Sold Kasper for 7.5k. I think I can just about get him in.
Actually I can get him in. Lovely.
We are set up quite similar with the Germans down the left.
Morgan in for Pinnock and swapping Hamza and Rinomhota gets Wes on 7 chem (8 with manager league change). Justin at right back gets full chem but he is going to be inflated for a little so I will stick with Aarons.

I miss Rinomhota, I had to use Willock instead for the green link to Adams.
Are Silvers used for anything this year?
They release IF Silvers as playable objectives most weeks. You have to play in the silver lounge using silvers only to get them.
Check out Ejaria for your Silver teams. English CM with 4* skills and nice stamina/dribbling.
This is my silver team: https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/3619287
Will probably replace Pellestri with Hudson-Odoi - who I noticed has a decent spike in price whenever there's a Silver Stars objective. Might be worth some speculation: https://www.futbin.com/21/player/105...um-hudson-odoi
While I've only tried this on squad battles thus far I really like this set up.
Telles as a LM is incredible although Sabitzer on the right is shit. However, it seems to offer a lot of options going forward yet I've got more bodies defensively and it plays into my style as I'll sometimes gamble (and almost always fail) with a CB yet there's 2 still back there.
Will try it out on Rivals tomorrow.
I've been using 3-5-2 for a while and (bar the WL just gone) and I really like it. I'll check out how he does it.
Not a lot in the packs tonight but I did get Lucas in one of the flash SBC's earlier.

I'm thinking of buying him, although hopefully for around 80k.
Hoffenheim are already through so he'll be getting at least 1 upgrade and I can't see any teams (bar Milan and Spurs) that are currently second that would trouble them.
He'd offer a lot more pace and dribbling than Sabitzer on the right but I would lose the passing and shooting.
I wouldnt even worry about his next upgrade as its so far away. As an 83 he should be very good with a deadeye.
Of course its a prediction but 96 Pace, 87 Dribbling and 84 shooting....Slap a deadeye on that and he should be very nice.
That 3-5-2 looks like it has some premise, although your wingers are going to be fucked.
Bellerin done in a second sitting. 17 games in total to get the 15 wins. One of the losses was a blowout to someone who somehow got loan R9 into his team. I've got about 25k on hand now for potential upgrades.
Telles looks like a must have as Reguillon feels a bit crap to me. At CB, that Wes Morgan card comes out at 89 rated with Anchor on him according to FUTBIN. It's laughable how much better he looks than my current CBs too. But for me pretty much everything is an upgrade at this point, so it's probably better to go with quantity over quality.
The likes of Gabriel Jesus, Sissoko and Havertz could be bought for this and be pretty big upgrades on what I have already.
Good to see you back Fox.
Will you be streaming anything? Would be good to see.
I'm not opposed to it, but it'll be tough. I used to have a set Mon-Fri with rotating early and late shift, but that's now changed and my rota is all over the place. Some weekends I'm off completely and others is a complete no-go.
I do still feel a bit rusty though.
I didn't realise after posting that Morgan had a time limit of only a few hours left, so I managed to do it with the untradeable stuff in the club. He can't be any worse than what I was using.
Servers down?
Edit: Seems so. Can't get in on my PS5 or Web and Twitter is seething.

Back up now.
81-87 upgrade SBC out now - 5 golds and 45 chem. Could rinse through a shit tonne of cards to upgrade into that Live for 3 days
https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...e_sbc_out_now/
Sure that was 4 golds last year and an 82-88. Gotta love EA.
Courtois from that 82+ Player Pick.
Not too shabby.
3 Rivals matches with the 3-5-2 and I like it a lot.
Won the first 5-2 (I missed a lot of chances and he grabbed two bullshit goals late on), lost the second 3-2 against a much better player and won the third 4-2 (I was 3-0 up and we collapsed a bit by letting in 2 goals before we sealed it late).
I like it a lot as it suits my play style.
Mukiele at CB is absolutely brilliant.
Unlocked my final BF packs and got 85 Luis Alberto and 84 Douglas Costa.
There were a couple of dupes, I threw those into an 82+ and out came 84 IF Carrasco. I imagine thats a fun card as I like his 82.
82+ looking like decent rinseable value.
84 IF Carrasco
82 Maignan
84 Lucas Leiva
84 Navas
82 UCL Vaclik
84 Douglas Costa.
Nothing huge from them but certainly workable.
Memphis in my 82+ PP.
The more I use Zola the more I love him. I wasn't very enthusiastic when I packed him but he's brilliant.
He feels absolutely rapid, finishes everything, seems to always be in space and despite his low strength it's quite hard to take the ball from him as he has crazy balance.
I've had a few beers, so I'm gonna whack some packs and do the 81-87 upgrades then hit the icon SBC.
Inaghi inbound!

Er lads....
Pisses on mine
So I did the 2nd icon SBC... Had to open it on the web app. Closed the browser before I saw who it was then logged back into FUT to see this:

What a shame there was no face cam!
Got my placement matches done and received a big bag of coins for the trouble. First 3 games were won without any trouble really. Game 4 though the game turned up the difficulty. I got paired with a guy running full Serie A team. I did my best but Dybala and CR7 ruined poor Wes Morgan and Ake. I had to use the 3-5-2 Mahow posted to try and overload the guy. It worked okay but I could not stop him the other end and lost 6-4.
Last game the guy had a couple of the lesser Icons in his team, but it was still 10x the one I have. He was 3-1 up at HT, so I again switched into that 3-5-2. As my players shuffled about positionally, it created a big gap and he scored from kick off. Lean forward mode was activated. I got one quite quickly, but after a few close calls for him I just thought it wasn't going in. 80 mins gone still 4-2. He tried a risky pass I was ready for and nabbed it to play an easy ball in to score. From there the floodgates opened and ended up with a mad scramble in the box in the 92nd minute. Ball fell to Jota and he duly smashed it home.
I've been put in Div 3 for my troubles and handed 93k coins. Instantly some much better meta players are available, but the squad does need a lot of work. Werner and Son are towards the top end of that budget, as is Gomez or Bruno. I could realistically afford only 1 of those.
Otherwise it's a potential goalkeeper purchase and spending the money out evenly. I'm not sure there's much in the way of value in a 2nd team with fitness no longer an issue.
You're dead to me Yev.
Aw, you guys.
Yev, how much have you valued the 82+ Rated Rare player and 81-87 packs at?
81 to 87 I haven't kept as I doubt you'll be able to get a TOTY from them.
82+'s I just went with the same value as one 81+ player. It'll obviously be higher, but I'd rather undercook it if we don't know for certain.
How many packs are you aiming for? Could be quite fun to see which one of us packs one first.
