Damn it. Figured I would look and missed a snipe on 89 Beckham.

Good news @Yevrah
Beckham is M/M on the baby and H/H on the rest.
Is his 86 out then?
15th for that one.
Watching Neps latest video and he makes the point I was going to. TOTW cards even as red picks are usually terrible. 90% of the time your red pick is of someone 81-84 rated that is no use to you, so playing on to Elite is often not worth it, unless you are doing it for content purposes. Most of the reason people play is to get that tiny % chance to get that top player as a free pick essentially and it almost never happens. Even then, TOTW cards now aren't even that much of an upgrade on the base card until you get to the 2IF or 3IF.
He says he'd rather get his 14 wins and then go get all of the objective cards for that week instead. He's right too. How many players from this coming TOTW are going to be better than say, 86 Deulofeu? Maybe 1 or 2 at best.
His latest team is also one I would not be far off building as he's chucked loads of objective cards in. Might be tempted to grab them tonight when I get in, instead of going on in Rivals.
Driven crosses are being nerfed
To be fair those and the resulting volleys were broken.
Looks like the are also starting to nerf the fake shot speed boost.
Silver Stars and finishing Coman tonight I think.
I actually have plans this weekend too for the first time in weeks so I think it'll be the first weekend league off since I qualified. Which is a shame as this week's rewards will see me hit 11 red picks in total and quite close to the upgrade pack.
I'm so shit at this game I could never get them to work, the ball would just fire across goal, miles away from anyone and straight out of play.
Looks like decent value on Immobile. 83 and 84 for the 88 card. Strong link to Correa will be up to an 86 if Lazio avoid losing today.
Lazzari rulebreaker likely flying up in value.
Edit: Only around 21k so I picked him up with a hunter.
Once I do Immobile I should have some sort of decent FO Serie A side coming together:
Handanovic
RB
Skriniar
Romagnoli (ill be taking him at level 30)
Sandro
Tello
Gold Nainggolan
RAM (Lazzari probably)
Deulofeu
Correa
Immobile
With UCL SMS, UCL Alberto and UCL Hakimi available

I saw the 2-1 but didnt realize they were a man up too. That will be nice to get.
Lazio were lucky to hold on. They sat back after about 60 minutes and invited pressure.
Reina was flapping at crosses all game and Brugge even hit the bar at the death.
I might have Cuadrado so will have to see how he compares to him when off chem.
Silver stars done in three games with none of them reaching half-time. Gotta love that shit.
4 assisting games left on Coman now too.
Well at least Klostermann is getting an upgrade...
Don't think I'm making the WL at this rate. Early shift kills me off so I never feel like playing. Will instead try and tick off some objectives I think.
I don't even have a team yet tbf. I'm hoping the American defenders are worth the pursuit. After I get them, I think the Dutchies need to be next.
Just played some full trick stick warrior with this team

I was buzzing to have smashed him with this team until I saw his skill rating was about 400 less than mine. No idea how we matched up..

Not as many players on PS5 so the matchmaking isn't that great right now.
I guess so. This is the first time, even on the 5, it been that wild. Think the biggest gap I have had was +-150
Pogba, Son and Salah the highlights.
Nuts.
Such pricks picking Pogba (money) over Telles.
If I ever get a genuinely good red pick it's going to be tomorrow and it's going to be Son.
My first game just ended 8-6. That was mad. The guy was giving it the big one with full celebration/replay at 2-0 so no way I was leaving.
Only started WL at 9pm on Sunday and managed to race to 11-8 by about 4am, so that seals me re-qualification and a red pick at least. Hoping for something half-decent, but I think the 89 Bruno I got a few weeks back has used up my luck for a while.
I forgot to upload this on the night, but I've just remembered it happened. What an incredible way to force extra time in WL...
Due to playing FUT Champs non-stop I haven't played Rivals for weeks (well before I had Cruyff and Eusebio), so with 5 games leftover from last weekend I took my super team into Division 5 Rivals. 5 wins and 5 rage quits later I think I've secured rank 1 in Rivals this week for the first time.
Doing these shitty Gold objectives next for this week should drop my ELO back down again nicely too.
Oh and thommo, wanna do those Beckham free kicks sometime?
Ah, that might be even easier. Cheers Raoul.
I have officially signed up to Rivals this week.
This is going to end badly.
Making people in Rivals rage quit in the 85th minute
I was 3-1 up against the first and he gave away a penalty (and a red I think) to stop me scoring and ended his connection.
Second I was 2-0 down early against a good player but got one back almost instantly and from there whilst he was incredible at getting & keeping possession he was doing fuck all with it. Managed to go 3-2 up and he was still playing really passive. He got a corner in the 77th minute and I managed to head it out to Bebou for a 2 on 1 counter which I finished with him. Got a late penalty and he quit after I scored.
Absolutely glorious.
Also, the Zakaria upgrade (the UCL one at least, they're into the UEL at the minimum) is on the ropes. Gladbach 2-0 down and any goal in the Inter/Shaktar game would put them third.
Edit: Trubin the Shaktar keeper is a fucking hero. Time-wasting like a champion.

I like that.
FUT "FREEZE" confirmed. RIP FUTMAS. Always one of my favs.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...rttf_upgrades/
Now to decide if I want Herrera tomorrow with his card going to 86.
Futmas was fun but they always used the same fucking people.
Hopefully they deviate from that this year.
I'll get the 11 wins and be done with it so hopefully it doesn't take me too many games.
I think in 18 I used to be a pretty consistent 11-9.
Cruyff has joined the 100 club for The Dugout tonight:
Current Hall of Fame:
Aubameyang - 143
Dembele - 356
Williams - 466
Cruyff - 101
Son - 169
Hazard - 151
I dare say there's little point to going beyond 14 wins now. Perhaps 17 is the best if you can manage it as it's a guaranteed 100k into the club and 1 extra red pick chance.
Even so this current TOTW has some big names in it. But there's only really 4/5 of them you'd ever want and we all know you're getting a choice between Esser, Pablo and Piatek.
Do you still get the Rivals points for completing your games out of interest?
My players in the 100 club are:
Mukiele - 138
Telles - 134
Allan - 130
Neuer - 112
Forsberg - 112
I've only played 207 games though (I assume the record at the top doesn't count friendlies so it will be more).
100+ goals club has:
Hwang Hee Chan - 184 (also in the assists club with 114)
Forsberg - 123 (also has 114 assists)
Lewandowski - 101.
You do indeed Fox.
Dawned on me that with my red picks tomorrow I'll have 11 reds. They're mostly dogshit, but I fancy taking them into a full run of Squad Battles over the Christmas break (minimum WC difficulty) and see how we do. Depends on what the no doubt slog of icon swap both requires and offers mind.
And on a more serious note as to why these rewards are bollocks. That's 6 weekend leagues to get that lot (I appreciate I'm crap and it would have taken others a lot fewer games), but let's say an average of 28 games a week, so that's 168 games in total.
Compare that to the team I could have had from playing a similar number of objective matches, with much less stress and admittedly no packs/coins (that you also get from WL) and it's crazy, absolutely crazy.
You're looking at all of the MLS, Championship and Dutch League players and probably all of Bellerin, Deulofeu and Mollet too.
As for packs, tale of the tape is now:
I'm minded of when I was a child and I wanted to spend all my birthday money on stickers. Having seen how much £3 had already got me I stopped short of spending the full fiver and then regretted it when it came to opening them. That's more packs than I've ever had going into TOTY by a country mile already, but, MUST PUSH ON.
