Nice. If I hadn't red picked Benzema I think I'd have done him too.
Are you WL ing it Fox?

This is pretty good: skill move combos - I need to use la croqueta more
I have redeemed. Not sure how many I'll play yet, but I'll see where the weekend goes.
The fake shot stop, slight pause then croqueta is a killer. You essentially make your opponent guess left or right. If it's in the box and then guess wrong, it's usually a goal.
I'm literally just playing MyClub to collect the freebies now. Fuck actually playing a limited PES experience. I've got Gazza and Messi. That'll do.
I wish FIFA would fuck chemistry off so you could so something similar. I've seen PES' version in the past and if I remember right you can put in whoever you want.
Bruno is now in the club. Leaves me with 105k. I can just afford a Rashford to play at RM and leave Pope and Ake in one more week, Or I can bring in a 'keeper and plug a CB in. Maybe Walker off chem or Laporte.
Yeah, PES is a lot more forgiving, at least in Master League.
- Players have a formation and set of instructions they're familiar with which indicates what their teamwork is.
- However, you can play them in whatever formation and that familiarity will come with time.
How it should be, really.
5-5 after 10 WL games. Which given the hangover I have is a right result.
2-2 myself. Connection is as expected given this is likely their busiest day of the year.
I’m using Rashford for now who seems great. Hopefully I’ll do my 11 wins and then sell him back before Aouar expires. Then I’ll re-buy him Thursday.
Beckham down at 1.2xm for the Prime. Glad I didn’t instabuy at 2m like I was tempted to. At ~1m I’ll get him in and eat whatever I lose from there.
Showdown SBC out. 86 Acuna vs 85 Coquelin. Those are some huge boosts but they look pricey.
Winner gets a +2.
Party bag out for a 84 squad. Don’t touch it Imo. Too many shitty OTW
I'll have to open that Party Bag on the web app, so given what's gone before doing that, count me in.
Icon SBC's gone. Not to be seen again until after TOTY.
Did the Party Bag.
Europa TOTGS Yazici
Atleast it wasn’t David, pretty sure a bunch of people are getting him
Did the Party Bag and got my third Icardi
Remaining 5 games for today of WL, the Party Bag and a few other things.

That Acuna is tempting. His 86 already looks like it can play anywhere but ST
Morata from my Party Bag. No party to be had with that.
6-6 in WL now.
I did 6 of the player pick packs (all top 5 leagues and one random players). Set myself the challenge of one 85+ and I do it the party bag. Bonucci in the 5th one meant it had to be done.
88 Record Breaker Vardy is a massive win and he walks straight into my Prem team.
Toggle Spoiler
Only 4m.
7m if you go primes across the board.
Finished yesterday at 8-7 in weekend league. 14 the target once again:
https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
Ended on 14-10 myself. The record says it was worse, but I played better, there were just several matches that could have gone either way. I could easily have been 17-7.
One match in particular saw Murphys Law in effect. I was 5-0 down at half time. I fought it back and got it to 5-5. I won a corner in the 89th minute, which I don't even know how but Alisson saved it onto the bar at point blank range. Opponent counters and then win his own corner which he duly scored from.
I was at 13-6 at one point and should have gone to bed, but I wanted it done before I woke today.
I may try for 17 later, But I'm not too fussed either way.
I think the plan is now to sell Rashford(He's down below 100k atm!) and complete the Aouar SBC before he leaves tonight. The future potential links and also use of him off the bench in the meantime look too good to pass up for the 110k he costs.
Know what you mean about wanting to get it done. The days where I've finished by Saturday night I've had a much more enjoyable Sunday.
I'm tempted to try Gold Pack Method today.
I've only used Aouar for a couple of games but he's silky. Really nice card. Definitely feels like much more a CAM than a ST for me though (Clive).
I've been getting a decent return on the 80+ Player Picks over the last few days - solid amount of 84+ cards and a smattering of IFs too.
Just did GPM going until I filled a clean trade pile. Stored all the cards needed for league SBC's and have listed everything else. I need to make 8k from 87 items that are still listed to break even, which I'll smash.
This looks absolutely viable when common golds go for about a grand.
And so ends the most frustrating WL I've ever had. I finish on 16-14 despite being 16-10. In all 4 games I had leads late on. I even replaced Bruno and Rashford with Sanches and Martins at one point as I felt I needed more defensive support in the middle, which helped, but it didn't matter in the end.
Perhaps I need to manage the game better, but I definitely need to improve the defence. Ake just doesnt cut it any which way.
I wish I could see more detailed stats of when my goals and my opponents goals come, but I feel like I almost never score the late winner. I also feel like I wilt the more the game goes on. Perhaps I need to make changes beyond bringing on an attacker.
I miss the days of '19 when I could competently see out a game.
Unlucky GF - Sanches and Martins are beasts.
Have you been making use of the freebie Objective players? There are some crackers in there (Aidoo, Gravenberch, Capa etc.). If they're not 1st Team-worthy then they'd certainly help out from the bench.
10-9 now.
Nice to have no work tomorrow and be able to take this at a leisurely pace as a result.
Need to get 3/4 Squad Battles games in too to get Elite 2.
Dreadful SBC's from EA tonight.
I often bring on Deulofeu and Van Bergwen who I like a lot, though I have avoided changing the CMs much. The Addition of Aouar gives a CM/CAM type. I've not touched them because I'm still scarred.
I brought Tello on for Bruno the once and he ended up with a clear shot in the box to win it late. He pulled it wide and I went on to concede straight after.
EDIT: You've reminded me I need to do Capa and Volland. Left it tight for both though I think.
14-10 and done. Should give me enough headroom to get rank 1 in Rivals too.
Did 10 of the player picks and got IF Theo Hernandez.
Very nice! I feel like they are pretty decent for the cost.
Harry Kane from SB rewards. Pre order packs finished.
Sancho from SB rewards.
Finishing up Capa today, but not sure I can be arsed with Volland. Doesn't look all that and I'm fine for L1 defenders with Koscielny and Freeze Golovin playing in there (usually swaps with Freeze Marquinos).
I'm doing Volland now and it's fucking horrible. Utterly fucking horrible.
8 games into this now and haven't scored a single cross or a header.
Prime Barnes, Prime Hierro and Mid Torres icons out.
Another party bag too.
Party Bag 2 and some Player Picks before they expire.

Capa and Volland done. Most seemed to be struggling with the headers, but I got lucky and got 2 in my first match. It was the defender assists that killed me.
Still that's 2 very useful cards in. There's now potential to get Gosens in to link with said Volland and get Neuer/Ter Stegen in net. That'd be a big CB upgrade, but then it's getting a fullback on either side. Those leagues are not blessed with great options that I can afford(I wasn't in time to do Atal or A.Sandro).
My current thinking is I'd rather scrimp and save at the winger position for now as defending was the clear issue the weekend previous. Besides Mendy, my back line could all do with an upgrade. Gomez is good, but his low stamina and meh strength may be one of the things letting me down late on in games.
Plus if I can use objective cards over tradeable ones, it frees up coin for elsewhere.
Did the 8 Mega Packs in store with coins and got KDB in the last one, saving what otherwise would have been a huge loss.
Sevilla 2-0 up. Hold on you bastards
Decided to drop 12k FIFA Points on the Rares and Premiums before they expired:
Very nice!
Keep/Sell?
Think I'll sell both.
Did the party bag.
OTW Osimhen
tbf though I did like his base card when doing Icon Swaps and the card could obviously get some more upgrades.
Upgraded Acuna looking very nice

Rookie mistake by me not to have done that.
A Finisher on him and you've got Bobby Carlos in his prime.
