Out a bit early and Jesus got a +3 (83 to 86) rather than the usual +2 (Hradecky from 83 to 85)
Thank fuck the Jesus is only a RW.
He will be dangerous out there. Good on the cross.
Didn't realise he was H/M until today, that's huge.
Still mad about that. Out of nowhere.
I had actually forgotten about that mad AI shot with him.
That was a real shitter.
Gentlemen. Who is wining the icon Battles Team objective thing on PS?
Mitrovic hat trick tonight. If he gets an IF next week, I'm buying the game and he's starting every match for my UT.
If Ben Brereton Diaz is getting an IF for a Championship hat trick, so should Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Ben Brereton Diaz has about 8 career goals including that hattrick, the man deserved it.
Slowly working through the score 500 goals/500 Assists and managed to win 55-0 on beginner
That is some effort. I'd normally hit about 30, 40 max.
That’s… good?
I would only really want to avoid Berghuis and Locatelli from that.
Apparently EA already pushed the OTW pack but they aren’t in packs yet.
Tempted to open it and wait for my refund
Yeah, seems like they shit the bed and released the pack before the cards were out
Guess there's two squads? It's missing Messi, Ramos, Lukaku, Wijnaldun, Silva, Talisca, Kluivert and Konate from what I can see on FUTbin, but that first squad seems much better. Some tidy players in there but I don't really trust OTW players after EA didn't bother upgrading them last year hardly at all. RIP the coins I spent on Rodrigo and Ziyech
I've been BPM-ing my way to riches and glory. Think I've made about 50k off it yesterday.
Let's not mention OTW investing please.
The scars still hurt.
The menu screen of my game that lists 'my' pre-order bonuses implies, nay states, that I'll be getting a OTW card, which I thought was reserved for those who pre-ordered by a certain date, or was that the hero card and I've misunderstood?
In any case, looking forward to some actual content tonight and hopefully picking up a few more Oblaks at the 30k coin price point.
And yeah, OTW's are so dead as a promo.
I know I say this every year, but I'm going to avoid the nonsense SBC's this time around. No issue with the gambling ones unless they're extortionate, but specific ones for player x, who looks tasty, but I'll never use, need to go in the bin.
Ah, sweet. Shame I'll miss out on a free hero card, but given we don't get that for months I can live with it.
Oh and on the OTW's, those cards need a boost from day 1. At least then you're definitely getting something better than the gold card equivalent.
They're apparently a bit better this year as if the player's team wins 5/10 or something they'll get a boost.
I'm just aiming to have a decently competitive squad for each main league and then focus on picking up players who can fit into the first XI, with a 1-in-1-out policy
Upamecano from my OTW pack. Not top tier but not too shabby either
Nice.
26 Oblaks on the trade pile.
My 4600 points are down.
Immobile, Handanovic and Llorente as my only walkouts and a handful of boards.
Not bad, not great.
I do love that due to EA getting rid of gold and silver packs, you can't actually spend all of the 4,600 points.
Locatelli from my OTW pack
Campos (keeper) has 87 Acceleration and 79 Sprint Speed
You could get a Premium Gold Pack for that.
I ended up with Malen from my pack. Not terrible as people seem to love him right now and I would hope he can get atleast one upgrade.
I do have a few packs saved up and havent used my pointes yet as I keep getting dupe untradeables with nothing to use them in.
Looking at the team I might pick up Saul + the few at discard. Nothing to lose and a couple of them (Dumfries/Berghuis) might end up decent with an early upgrade.

Dumfries for me. Looks alright, but meh.
How's everyone set for Squad Battles Rewards tomorrow? Pleasantly surprised to see the points total needed being so low and we've just moved into Elite 1. Two 50k packs (the best packs in FIFA) will be very welcome.
Haven't played it much as I've been doing the Camavinga objective. Am on Gold 2 or something. Ideally we'll get something else to play for tonight too
How are you getting on with that?
Just over halfway. The crossing objective is total bollocks. Seems more a mixed bag in terms of ability too - I've not had too many problems in Rivals but have been destroyed a couple of times when playing this mode.
Seems like a hell of a lot of work for an average 78 CM who is unlikely to get an upgrade.
Have they removed 400 coin bronze packs completely or is it just in the web app to prevent BPM being so easy? Can't generate much cash right now.
I think I'm going to skip Camavinga.
I just think it's too much work, especially as he wont be in my first team.
He slots straight into mine, in place of Modric and there are 11 days to do it, so I'll play a few this afternoon and see how we go.
Yep

I managed to win 4 on the bounce yesterday and get 4 of the crosses done. Should be able to finish it up tomorrow or Monday. I feel like he will be a mini Renato
I've been burnt before - I remember the pain OTW Ndombele was in FIFA 20 and he didn't manage an IF until about June when the Prem returned.
I didn't realise the quicksell price of the tifos and badges had been increased. Makes sense why you can only purchase the 750 coin packs then, and you're right - still getting some decent profit after chucking all my coins at them.
I've come up against a couple of absolute heroes who's just needed a goal with a La Liga player and so have rattled through the crosses. Just need a couple more goals and it's finished
Drop-in match vis pro clubs is broken. You cant get into games.
