At some point the 81s and 82s will go for about 4 times discard, but if you can snap up the 85s for reasonable prices then I'd do that too.
Ended up buying the Leeds kit so I could do the unlock. Flipped it back out for the 5k so no issues.
Started the US stuff and got three of the wins in pretty quick time (gave away two in instant rematches) before hopping off.
Pretty sure all the ones needed are.
They are indeed.
btw - if you care about getting the kits, apparently you can put one as home and one as away and double-up on unlocking the retro shirts.
That Granada UEL RTTF looks handy but there's almost no chance of an upgrade.
Might do him whilst opening packs on Friday and use Cucurella on the left, him on the right and start the loan TOTY Messi up front.
Back on to finish objectives and grind SBC's.

Completed Pastore today, and I've already ticked off 4 wins in 4 for Benedetto too. Good day of grinding MM and it looks promising to get this all finished up by Friday. Neymar seems to be the key for the Ligue 1 games - no one can touch him with their bog-standard defenders, he just glides past everyone. The WIF Weah is also pretty lethal.
There were some funny interactions today though - in one match my opponent paused at the start and I received a message "Golden goal?". There wasn't any time to respond (not that I would), but I immediately went forward and was ahead inside 5 minutes. And no, he didn't leave. He quickly buggered off once I smashed in my 3rd goal inside the opening 25 minutes at least.
I also took great joy in coming from behind and beating someone who paused it for me at 1 and 2-0. Ended up winning 5-3 and made sure to pause it fully on both my 4th and 5th goals.
You really should have messaged him after he left. “Yeah, you?”
The thing MM highlights to me is just how much of an advantage having good players is. Neymar versus some 76 rated shitter from the MLS is night and day. Must be what having these crazy Prime Gullit/Vieira teams is when you come up against someone with a normal squad in Rivals or something.
TOTW seems very crap to me. You could make a case for wanting Mertens, Benzema or Gnabry but the entire thing is fodder tbh. I'll save my packs for the small shot at something in the birthday promo.
I'm contemplating not redeeming WL this time out. Icon swaps tokens are due to hit and I have the 83+ and 82+ x 25 packs to claim, which needs me to get 8 of the 9 tokens coming. I imagine this will mean a lot of One League/Nation and Squad Battles. My work pattern already sees me going from late finish Friday to early on Sunday and that's a lot of FIFA to cram in.
Fekir and Andre Silva as my reds.
Nice fodda.
Finishing the MLS MM's today. By finishing I mean running 8 games on my TV while I work.
Rumoured for tomorrow.
That Mendy will be a CB and will be a MASSIVE problem.
I saw the same team leak somewhere else which is worrying.
A usable Thiago would be good fun but it’s very meh isn’t it. Get any boosted Mendy away from me.
Really boring team and doesn't seem to push the power curve at all.
If I buy FIFA22 I need to work out a way to self restrict my own power curve to make the game have some level of constant progression in it. First owner RTG as was proved last year is now useless for that.
Would that Chan mean his OTW gets upgraded?
Would love Williams or Sane. That Mendy will be a nightmare and is going to be in every team in the game
Assumed not, would be too generous
OTW's only get upgraded with performance based special cards.
That PSV/Feyenoord objective is done, if anyone did some part of it. PSV won.
I did it. Took PSV as I already had their TIFO in the club to speed it up.
Leaks looking good based on the new screen
A 5*/5* Ferland Mendy? Please, fuck off EA.
Mendy, Lucas Moura and Perisic surely which are all in the leak.
Shit.
Next prime pack available today too.
I got an Ultimate Pack for engagment upon logging in. Team is as expected.
Podolski SBC and then Huntelaar objective.
Another Ultimate pack gifted. Such a boring team though.
The Storyline players are so dead.
The Hunter
Edit: ffs he's in MM. Does my love for the man outweigh my hatred for the game mode? I'm not sure yet.
Anyone seen any Icon Swaps kicking about?
Not until Monday.
Seriously? I decided not to play WL as I was hoping to smash out some Swaps objectives.
Donnarumma, Handanovic (dupe untradeable), Neuer (I felt there was a pattern here...), De Jong, Burki, Varane (tradeable), Gimenez, Isco, Kane (dupe untradeable), Pobga (dupe untradeable) and IF Bounou from my saved packs. Finished Hernandez with a bunch of dupes. Messi should be finished today.
I did get one FUT Birthday card:
Toggle Spoiler
I’m sure the loading screen back when said the 26th March.
I’d bloody love that Thiago but as a 5*/5* he’s going to cost a bomb.
I've got about 300 packs to open, but there'll be so many dupes I'm gonna have to wait for upgrades.
I'm going to wait for tomorrow and see if a decent SBC comes out because I've got a duplicate Alisson to get shot of. Don't fancy Podolski
Hwang and Varane gone.
The daily SBC objective is bugged. Shocker.
Is it? I completed it just fine.
Never mind, it's bugged as it's not counting in the objectives.
lol.
Always has to be something.
Hwang didnt but Huntelaar might have me considering using Lewa in an SBC down the line.
Biggest news is Managerial Masterpiece is now up to 79 rated team
Yay more Mbappe loans.
