I'll be on after the Liverpool game.
That Gnabry looks more and more tempting each game. I'm not sure in WL competition, Hazard is much of much and that kills my only link to Mendy.

Just sorting out contracts on the web app and then we're on.

1-0 with a 5-3 win, but it seriously felt like my players were wading through treacle.
Just won 5-1 with 3 of those coming from corners to move to 5-4.
I've never seen someone so bad at defending corners.
So many of my passes seem to either go to someone I didn't target or are so underpowered.
It's infuriating.
4-2 after 6 games.
The last two games have had micro-pauses all over the shop. No idea how I won the last one as a result.
And I'm done at 11-8.
Had a nervy last game where I went 4-0 up and I was absolutely dominating the game but he pulled one back and momentum shifted firmly into his favour. At 4-3 I decided to switch from my ultra-defensive tactic (4-2-3-1) to my defensive (3-5-2) and I was able to counter, made it 5-3 and really should have had another couple.
Bebou is a hero. He doesn't get that many goals and assists (14 goals and 35 assists in 63 games) but he's electric and causes so many problems, especially on the counter.
Hoffenheim have Molde in the knockout phase so could well get another upgrade too.
A slightly bizarre Adama LB for tonight's SBC. Usual rip off as well.
Such a weird card. If they made him left footed or changed his work rates to high/med or high/high then he would be perfect for that RM LM spot in the 3-5-2.
As it is he is just odd.
Edit someone on reddit reporting HH and left footed....maybe.
7-8 through 15 games. I was 5-2 at one point but I'm doing the best I can with the connection issues. It's as if I'm playing on a delay. As a result, I can only really beat people I'm significantly better than.
If it's down to my ISP then I'll likely sod WL off for the most part.

Yep, that actually makes me interested in him.
I've downloaded a new option file and upped the difficulty in PES. I'm on Superstar now after starting a league with Bayern Munich. I smashed Sevilla 6-1 in the Super Cup and then decided it was time to step it up a notch. 3 wins, 1 draw so far but we're reliant on Lewandowski's goals and Neuer between the sticks.
Things the AI do differently: The chase and intercept passes more and make space difficult to come by in the box. I've just smashed Dinamo Zagreb 6-0 so maybe I've got the hang of this already. Sometimes the game just does that, though. I'm liking the fact I've got kits now for the Championship sides and all the national teams and some updated European odds and sods.
5-5 after 10 having been 5-3. Almost everyone I've played today has either dropped back or been good at defending, which makes for a right slog.
8-7 and done until tomorrow. Hard work today that was.
The LB Adama caught the content creators out. They did originally release him with the same WR and WF as his base card.
Sad thing is he’s now probably the best LB in the game.
A Bruno penalty ending that pro kid's perfect record and inducing tears
Wasn't even in champs, just a tournament or something which makes the reaction sweeter.

He's 14. The hate he's getting really isn't cool.
Back on to finish weekend league from 8-7 currently.

Beckham, while fun to use is going to have to make way for the final 15 games. He's viable when playing someone you should beat, but anything beyond that he's sadly out of his depth.
As I’ve alluded to, I’ve already returned home (rightly or wrongly, up to you) but I managed to find space for the Xbox and still redeemed the WL entry. It’s made me realise that the lag and delay I’ve frequently experience may just be down to the connection/internet I regularly play on at home, as I had 4 games of silky smooth gameplay yesterday and won them all so far.
Of course, this could all change tonight but we’ll see how it goes.
I might stream a little too if it all holds up well.
Horrendous start to the day with 1-4 after 5.
Hammered in the first, lost a close one in the second, easy-ish game in the third and drop back cunted in the last two.
9-11.
4 wins from the next 5 and we're 13-12.
Not sure where that came from.
14-12 and done.
I'm gonna go Varane.
Go bigger.

Untradeable but not one complaint from me.
Fuck a duck. Excellent pull. How are you planning to fit him in?
Cracking stuff.
I have no idea how to fit him in, but for now Dybala is sold and he takes the place of striker. I had planned to do the Haaland/Gnabry SBCs over the next 2 weeks, but this scuppers those plans a little. I must surely build a team around him.
Unfortunately outside of him in Serie A there really isn't much. That kind of leaves having to keep him at the top of the 4-5-1 with 2 Portugal links into him. Bruno is one option there but it also opens up the possibility of completing POTM Felix.
I have Felix and he is mint. Really great all-rounder.
Fox
Felix and Bruno box him in. Free Beckham goes RM. That’s the start of something solid.
That Kenny Lala is 100% getting done. Switch with Florenzi/Atal in game - actually maybe not. His defending is terrible
86+ repeatable upgrade SBC too. Time to launch the fodder

So from 7-8 I finish this week on 14-9. Not quite 7 on the bounce, but good enough. Connection felt much smoother today so I could actually defend with some dignity.
I made the quick change of Ronny in and selling Dybala. The latter was doing fairly well for me, 18 goals and 5 assists in his 15 games, however in came CR7. 15 goals and 8 assists in 8 games. I think that speaks for itself. The actual difference in-game is not really quantifiable.
Not sure what the plan is with the coins coming in. I have a fair amount of fodder to do a reasonably sized SBC. I'm not sure how much I can knock off Felix though for example. His price is climbing way towards 500k now.
I wont be doing Champs next weekend but I think I'll be aiming for 14 the week after.
Alisson and Koke from one of my pre-order packs.
Is nice.
Sancho for me.
Ended up doing Traore with stuff in the club too.
I'm thinking of doing Joao Felix and maybe Adama, but if I do the latter I'll need a Spanish CB to get him on 10 chem, which will necessitate doing Navas.
UEL Rebic was the best thing from my packs. Looks great now and is going for about 130k at the moment, but not sure whether to sell? If I hold onto him for at least another round (Milan have Red Star Belgrade who I'd expect them to get past) he could be a very tasty card if they progress, but at the same time apparently they won't get upgraded until February, which is probably too long to wait relative to the power curve.
A Laimer RB that's too expensive, again.
No league SBC's and no Icons. I wonder if they're purposefully withholding the latter as they don't want people sat on packs for TOTY to be able to do them easily.
Either way, uber lame.
Laimer looks great but yeah, far too expensive.
Bad value, especially compared to Mukilele.
Who's winning the Milan vs. Ajax thing (on PS4)?
Also - anyone one PS4 want to do the Bronze objective Friendly goals thing? Score 3 each and then play the rest of the match?
I sold Rebic for 138k or something. Gonna hold the coins for now and see what comes out soon. Only real upgrades I would want to make are either Messi, Varane for my La Liga team or Rashford/Mane for Prem but no point investing heavily for now as there'll likely be a crash soon.

Knocked this together as a way to potentially fit CR7 in. I'd need 165k to make that work, although that is only with standard Felix. The POTM looks very good indeed, but that 3rd part of his SBC is the stumbling block. I may just have enough in the club for the first 2, but the 3rd is 250k by itself.
Assuming there is no pack luck this week, I'll likely be sat on 100-150k towards the cause.
@thommo
Fancy doing the Beckham free kicks and the glitched bronze friendly objective?
And nice team there Fox. You'll do some damage with that.
I really don't want to use Laporte, but my coins wont stretch to everything.
I'm 50/50 on starting the Felix SBCs smaller sections now. I don't want to sink stuff into that and have myself unable to complete it in the end.
Mendy, Gomez and Laporte should help him out.
There's what, 11 days left on Felix? You should be fine, but something better may come along in that time. Albeit unlikely to get the Ronaldo links.
Bit of Silver Stars and better make a start on Bolasie.

One win and three German goals left to get Volland. Been relatively straight forward.

Been rocking this set of heroes in SB's to start the silver challenges.
