Smooth (yes )
At least it looks like my Felipe Anderson will get one upgrade before Knockout Ronaldo'd

And Rooney is done.
I wasn't going to do him but I had some dupe untradeables.
Ndidi as my red who looks a bit meh. Hd has defending and physical but nowt else.
Parejo, Walker and a couple of low boards from my packs.
Sarr and Banega for me. I took untradeable rewards to start rebuilding the club and got 1 85, an 84 and nothing else of note. Feels like I while since I packed something worth talking about.
Ligue Un denying another of the big ones their POTM. Annoying.
Another Party Bag is out.
I did the Party Bag:
I did the other Party Bag and got Calhanoglu. Not sure I can be arsed with this one.
Muller out of a random 75+ pack was a nice touch.
Feel in a bit of a rut with this for now. It's in all likelihood not been that long since I packed something decent, but it feels like it. After a few weeks of juggling I've just got the squad into a good chemistry position.
Though now I want shiny and new. The way my team is set, Neymar and Mbappe are the 2 next logical steps, but they're at least 700k more than I have now. This is how I get drawn into doing shiny SBCs and I'm again looking at El Shaarawy or Jones to be done to come in and be a nice shiny new player.
If I'm honest, it'll likely take 6 weeks of no pack luck before I'm in the ball park of even just Neymar now. It feels quite frustrating to have almost hit the ceiling. Icon swaps would be lovely about now.
Icon Swaps are this weekend, Reddit is thinking?
That CM Jones is meant to be great.
Both versions look very good to me and obviously home team bias is there. Hard to turn that down.
I do hope we get them this weekend along with the release of the prime moments versions and SBCs of Icons to last the rest of the game. Asking a lot, but it'd be nice to tick those off slowly.
Ran through the 25 games needed to get Reinier over the last couple of days, and in the process, finished off both the Eredivisie and MLS milestone objectives. I'll aim to do the Championship ones whilst working on the Fofana in the near future. Jonathan dos Santos was an utter beast in the MLS MM games I played. I won 14 out of the 15 I played with the squad, he was just too good. Makes me want to try him out more seriously in Rivals and WL.
I've also got up to the 84 Cucurella, and earned myself Rank 3 Rivals rewards in the process. I took untradeable, and managed to pack 86 IF Marcos Llorente! His card looks pretty incredible, and he will slot straight into the La Liga team, and probably on the bench for WL. 2 packs later, another walkout flashes up, another IF.....another Marcos Llorente. 270k worth of duplicate that I ended up submitting into Michael Owen. Just the one segment to go now, and I might just buy a couple players and get it done tonight.
It will leave me with a real wealth of options for this weekend, to the point that I genuinely don't know my best XI.
If you plug in Curtis Jones' card stats on Futbin the only other players that pop up with his card stats or better are TOTY Bruno, TOTY Kimmich and Prime Gullit.

I just have the 86 left to do.

So while we're listening EA, a nice Icon in my next pack yeah?
Party Bag 2 disappointment incoming...
https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust
Coman, UCL Gomez and IF Martinez from MMs not bad.
Packs seem nice tonight.
I just got FFS Oscar, Trent and a FFS Ruben Dias from about 6 packs.
All untradeable sadly.
Since I got Headliner Oyarzabal in the last one I decided I would do the party bag and get rid of my POTM version
Toggle Spoiler
I got Fabinho headliner earlier.
Bit meh, but as Fox and Thommo said, could have been a lot worse.
Got Falcao last time, stuck him back in with 4 85s this time.
Got Falcao out.
Ffs.
Anyone thinking of selling up Icons ahead of tonight? I have Desailly who I bought for just over 1m coins. Could sell for that now (minus tax), which I could make back without too much hassle.
PIM Icons are visible in the transfer market.
Also POTM Son has had a +2 upgrade if anyone has that
Looks like he got a +2 on SOFIFA, which would translate to a +2 on his POTM if he is one of the players who gets a refresh.
Was watching a Boras stream and people were saying it
I'm hoping the new Icons Swaps are usable.
You can keep your Nestas and Baggios please. I'd love to see a version of VDS being the lowest swap token, but in reality I can see us having to work to daft requirements for very little.
Icon Swaps are staggeringly shit.
I might just do the prime/moments then cry when I get a prime Nakata.
The packs are good but really how many more decent promos do we have?
Ashley Cole or Blanc look decent. The latter especially.
The rest is meh.
They've not even added the game modes to get the tokens...
Sorry @Danny!
They've fucked this big time for me personally.
My disdain for the Baggio card was noted before hand. This moments one actually looks half decent, until you realise they've stuck him with 76 fucking stamina. AND he's 17 tokens, so he wont be in the club til April. Yikes.
Butragueno is just pointless. Everyone has either CR7 or Mbappe of some description up front now and it's only his baby card for FIFTEEN tokens for fucks sake. Make it at the least his mid card.
Overmars is an option but again you're waiting to put him in. He has some issues too such as his shit passing and 3* skills.
Blanc is off the table for me. I have Cannavaro and Boateng who are both untradeable and at least as good anyway.
Cole is a decent left back in a game that only has about 4, so he is very tempting here. As said though he isn't amazing, just good.
Deco oddly(and tellingly) looks like the one I'd want of the player picks. He'd very much help link CR7 and Felix into my team a hell of a lot easier. Is a Moments card. Looks good fun and easy to get.
For the first time I'm looking towards one of the Icon packs but I'm not sure I could cope with the time put in to get Moments Inzaghi.
You have nailed this perfectly for me.
Aside from not having Cannavaro and not entertaining Deco because I dont have Felix I feel exactly the same.
The more I think about it the more I'm thinking of doing Prime/Moments pack plus the 81+ 25 pack.
None of the players interest me and doing the other packs + a base isn't as worthy as last time as there are no great promos upcoming.
Obviously a shitter would be gutting.
I think I'll go for the 91+ Prime - seems the best risk/reward ratio. My team is great anyway so might as well gamble. Blanc is the only other option but he's nothing really special.
EDIT: Cavani
https://www.futbin.com/21/players?pa...rice&order=asc
Still a lot of shite in the 91+ Prime bracket.
Also, PIM Puskas with an Engine...
Jesus wept.
The crux of the issue with the rewards for icon swaps, which has been the way since they brought them back is that anyone who can spend the time on the game it takes to get those players, will have already played it enough to have as good if not better players already.
This time is the most egregious example of that I can recall though.
Now see, I see Icon Swaps as your promo for the free to play guy or the guy who wants to play to earn and these are relatively shocking.
Deco seems good to me, as an intro to Prime Moments. He's had a big boost from his Prime. But it shows what they think of us when we're not buying packs.
This also shows how they value the cards. They value a 87 striker over a 91 rated midfielder because he's faster and has 5* WF. And they value him at over double the cost.
I'm not sure what combination of things I want yet, but I do know if I do the 83 x 25+ pack again there's a strong chance of getting Curtis Jones done.
Icon Swap Combos - https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...tions_of_icon/
If you've got any silver packs, CSL pulls are worth 3k a pop at least(PS4).
Team is sorted for this weekend. Will change to a 4-2-3-1 in game, with Dybala, Overmars and CR7 behind Owen, and SMS and Tonali sitting deep. James will probably see a lot of work from the bench, as will Acuna.
This could be a thing. Decos moments card isn't in the FUTBIN database so his Prime is a place holder there.
Alternatively I could keep Bamba there and swap the Icons to the other side to bring in Mendy.
Mendy
A Random Flashback Kroos appears!
