Worst Silver Star so far but I will still be doing him.
Worst Silver Star so far but I will still be doing him.
I'm not bothering with him. Doesn't fit my starting 11, wouldn't make the bench.
Ass Pass and 86+ upgrade in SBC too.
He would be useful got anyone wanting to grind the 50 games with 7 TOTW since he gets a few links (Adeyemi and Mukhtar)
They have priced Aspas really well he is just no use to me with RB Williams upfront and untradeable gold Griezmann behind him.
That silver guy isn't too bad really. Bit of a tank but might be useful for links as they seem to have focussed loads on Germans.
What do you reckon that does for the timescale on when the full team will be in packs?
Full thing Friday I would say.
After seeing TOTW I understand why they’re throwing more picks at us for free. There really isn’t much usable in it at all, however there is some good 85-87 fodder to be had.
I think I’ve done enough for Rank 1 in rivals so I’m very tempted to pass on the 70k to take the untradeables and rinse it all through the upgrades and hope to tick off maybe Aspas or Milner for close to free.
Gulacsi and Gundogan the best from this mornings packs.
A tradeable UCL Chiellini from the packs, red picks were crap again.
Alba, Marquinhos and Sane from the rivals untradeables. Though Sane was a duplicate so to not waste him I started on Aspas. Ended up after using all duplicates completing Aspas for free and I’ve done 1/2 on Dos Santos.
Churned the rest of the crap into 80+ picks and first one was Hazard. Got Azpi next and a bunch of 82s, but I think I’ve come out better than if I’d just taken the coins.
No changes to the team yet though. It has left me a little shy of VVD this way around. I’ll hold and see if 6pm brings anything. I’ve the stuff to pretty much knock out an 85 squad for something, I’m just not sold on putting the stuff into Milner. It’s probably the best card he’s going to get this year.
Annoyingly had there been no time limit on Kaka I’d run stuff through his SBC over time, but I’m not sure I’ll have that done in 8 weeks.
I've been tracking VVD and he definitely has spiky pricing going into WL. I'm going to wait a little longer before I pick him up.
Holy shit that Tavernier Klaiber's reign as best RB might have been very short.
Headliner too so there's a solid chance he'll get an upgrade

I will be doing that card.
I think Klaiber is the better defender but Tavernier is better going forward. Either way fucking hell
Its likely he gets another IF and they are already 2 wins into the 4 win streak.....
Could build a filthy team with Gomez - Tavernier and then Beckham or someone in front of them
Not sure if they are still there (probably are) but 81+ 7 rare player packs in the store.
Interesting new addition.
Has anyone done the week 2 gold objective 'pass & go'?
Apparently you do the first half of a regular 1 - 2 and score with the first person you pass to. I did so many variants I am not sure which worked but here is what people are saying:
Cruyff has the ball
Passes the ball to Eusebio with (LB + Pass) to trigger the 1-2
Then instead of passing back you score with Eusebio
That objective is dumb - it's not what it says. You don't need to do any right-stick flicking, just L1 and pass then score
Why did they have to drop that Tavernier. He’s so good at everything he surely must be done.
#GullitGang.
Thanks gents.
EA servers dead?
Edit: Nope, was on my end.

HL Toko Ekambi, IF Larin and Lucas the card over 5K from MM's.
Also packed Allan right when I dont really need him anymore.

Hasn't Uppy got shocking composure and reactions? Is a CB really gonna get that many upgrades too.
Worse than the other 2 (well not composure compared to Klostermann but his reactions are a lot more) and RB lost their last game. His upgrade through league wins would come in February at the earliest but Leverkusen (who are playing well) are their fourth.

Only Prime Zidane, Prime & Mid Gullit and Prime Matthaus beat Tavernier in base stats right now...
Also, I'm mighty tempted by Haaland's POTM and when Upamecano goes (I can't split up Zakaria & Klostermann) I'd have enough coins to make sure I'll be able to buy anything I need towards him.
Main downside is that I wouldn't be able to start him (unless either he or Zola was off chem).
Another downside is that I should be able to afford his HL after I've opened my packs and/or Telles does something to raise his OTW price up.

Finished up recycling absolutely everything through upgrades and it got me the rest of Dos Santos done. Then I sold up the stuff I mentioned earlier that was tradeable and hopped into Rivals. 2 wins later I'm promoted to Div 2, another 35k for me. I was very close to affording Van Dijk.
I had the stuff to do some of Tavernier but then had to buy a fair bit of the 85 squad. All in all it has put me back to about 150k on hand but an empty club now. It's a little annoying to miss out of Van Dijk for maybe another week or two but I have added 89 Aspas, 86 Dos Santos and also that Headliners Tavernier to the club for my troubles.
The latter had to be done. He is already Gullit Gang and could be quite easily deployed anywhere but in goal. He should become my defacto 2nd CM subbed on in the 2nd half at the very least.
I'm thinking I can play something like this when I get VVD. I have everyone else. Still seething about not doing Acuna
POTM Bruno 2.0 incoming.
84, 84 + IF, 85 + IF, 86 + IF, 87 + IF and 88 for Bruno 2.0
Annoying for me if he gets a team of the year card as that's two of the POTM's that are effectively useless for the fodder I'll have from pack opening.
Just played my first champs game. Lost 4-1 due to EA not registering my triangle press until after Neuer had the ball in his hands, 2 penalties and a late counter goal.
Opponent obviously did a full celebration for each...
That Bruno is cheaper than his last one. Its a decent upgrade over his headliner too.
992 and counting.

I'll hit 1,000 packs today, maybe before Nick 28t.
Lars Stindl is Budesliga PotM? Jesus H Christ. Have EA been manipulating these?
It's a shocking card too.
It is genuinely rancid.
You need to upcycle some of the cheaper packs to some higher cash-equivalent ones to round it off at £3k (or just use Euros...)
Immense effort though. How does this compare to some of the pro-streamer dweebs? I only really watch Boras but there must be some out there doing this method too.
Nick 28t who has the most of the streamers I know is sat on around 900 and something as I type.
He'll keep going though I'd assume, while (player picks aside) I think I'm done now.
Hot damn. That team is going to be insane and you're going to be loaded. I'm just going to chuck some cash in and see what lands
86 rated Bundesliga objective. LB Sinkgravel. Looks quite nice. Glad I finished Guedes.
Non repeatable 82+ position packs. Very cheap (dont think anything is packs so certainly saving)
Prime Carlos, Cannavaro and Okocha are up too.
That Cannavaro seems decently priced? Will wait a bit and see if I can pick up enough fodder to do him, but he's definitely on the list as a maybe
Pretty tempted by Cannavaro tbh.
He might be what I sink the dupes into when I'm opening packs.
Assuming I pack no TOTY's (which would be gutting) I think my plan will be to do this in game:
Tav would start on 7 chem (at LB) but everyone else would be on 10.
I've been bringing on Tav at half time for Allan and my word is he good as a box to box.
Also, stopping today at 3-2 so a rare winning Friday. All 3 of my wins were easy (2 were early rage quits) and I should have beaten the second guy I lost to.
