Talisca and Pato up top, that could be the WL frontline for this weekend.

Zapata HL from my player pick. He'll be awful as he always is.
Prem milestone objective coming tomorrow, another FB on the list too but not sure when

That Sarr looks pretty useful but I have Varane and VVD already
I could probably use him in a prem team, not sure he disloges Kimpembe in the main (would mean Clauss over Hakimi too) team.
Varane, WW Soyuncu and 84 IF Davinson my options.
Position and team specific packs in the code

EA pulling out the stops for TOTY.
Fodder is about to go wild for those 85+ position x3 packs.
So when does the actual TOTY go into packs? Not tomorrow I presume?
I'm expecting a 96 hour stream Yev...
My guess is Friday 21st and it'll be the same format as last year, with the full team available from Thursday 27th and 12th man from Friday 28th.
I'm off work from Friday 28th to Tuesday inclusive.
My twitch notifications are on. Are you waiting until they’re all in packs? I’ll need to tell the missus not to make plans for us
Yeah, will be waiting until the 12th man is in for sure and will probably start a bit later than 6pm as want to avoid being caught up in the no doubt reduced odds of millions of people spamming packs. Plan is to probably do an all nighter (or at least very late) on the 28th and go from there.
Last year the 12th man was in from Friday to Tuesday, but the league specific upgrade packs only ran until the Monday so aim is to get it all done in the 4 days. I'll take the opportunity to sleep when I get SBC banned.
I'm keen to hear what kind of snack/takeaway combos you're thinking. Can't go too big on the carbs/booze and you'll definitely need a fuckton of Haribo or similar. Srs business.
Gundogan apparently tonight, after a fairly meh Sterling. I'm holding everything to cash out fodder on Monday when there's meant to be an Base/Mid Icon PP
That POTM Karlsson should be an absolute don in play. You probably don’t even need to give him extra pace as he’s got 99 Agility/balance, 5ft7 and lean. My guy will be gliding around the pitch. Deadeye or marksman on top of that and he’s
Been a while, but back on...

Score outside the box in 8 games is one of the objectives for Sarr
So much shit today
84 POTM Karlsson (82 + TOTW)
86 Sarr Milestone (in Managerial Masterpiece)
90 Moments Gundogan (overpriced IMO)
91 POTM Sterling
Free 83 x 3 pack
83 + Def, Mid and Attack SBCs
Daily SBCs that give cumulative award of Rare Mega
Win 15 matches over the next week for a Mega Pack.
That Gundogan is immense and another player that causes a real problem for Icons, in that they're just not good enough.
The futbin cry babies over that Sarr card saying it’s not as good as expected. I guarantee if he had 84 pace rather than 83 he’d be one of the highest upvoted players. Unreal with a shadow on him and like Karlsson will feel much quicker as his dribbling stats are stupidly good
Some of the leakers posted predictions of his stats (very clearly labelled that way) so people got too excited.
Gundogan coming in around 550-600k I reckon.
Finished my first Champs qualifiers 6/10
Nice one Raoul!
Recycling all my off league common bronzes and silvers and I've just been SBC banned. Does not bode well for TOTY, only built about 200 packs.
Unbanned already, less than an hour. That is very promising.
How's WL going RD?
Finished up on 43 (?) points. Not sure how many wins that is - could have got the Premium TOTW pack in the next rank but I needed 2/3 wins and lost them both in tight games. Played 4-2-3-1 with the following team:
Heroes:
- Cristiano Ronaldo - only worth half of what I paid for him now but worth 10x that gameplay-wise. Scored all sorts of goals and was the main man throughout. Currently at 187 contributions (129 goals) in 164 games
- Fekir - got me the last Swaps token with a lateral heel-to-heel and a 25-yard shot into the top corner
- Gelson Martins - skilful and always a menace
- Kante - his usual self
- Meta Rat Defence - Mendy / PIM Kimpembe / Marquinos and Hakimi - it just works (mostly)
Zeroes
- Aouar - chancer. Subbed off for Acuna/Sow every game and the team improved by 20% as soon as this gimp was off the pitch
- Rashford - tbf, EA have done a great job of making him realistic. Weak, uncoordinated and generally ineffective in all situations
- Cech - generally good but shit the bed in one game with a special needs pass to the other team's striker which took it to ET and I lost. Maybe his hat was too tight
That Icardi card is absolutely nuts
Yeah he does look pretty bonkers.
Base/Mid PP is out. Looks expensive.
The only ‘key’ stat that is slightly low is agility. His passing and vision for a striker is crazy, he will win every single header, 4* 4*, 90 strength and pretty much maxed out shooting. Slam an engine on him and he should be pretty special
Perfect link to Messi as well for Icardi
to all of today's content.
That icon pp is there until the 30th. Hold me.
All offline Swaps tokens finished for myself. Completed Darmian earlier, and finally did the Chong SBC too. That Icardi is also getting done, he looks mental. I like the idea of that Icon PP, but I wont have enough packs/fodder to do it I think, it's obscenely expensive.
And I've played just 1 game of qualification for WL - I'd better get cracking if I want it finished tonight.
Managerial Masterpiece rewards coming out after I finish Sarr
Nep had 90 Schmeichel / base Pires and Seedorf from his pack.
I've finished Icon Swaps now, just deciding where to put my tokens.
SMS and Bellingham from red picks. Could have taken Bastoni instead of Bellingham.
I got to 7 wins in WL and left it there - ended up at the rank that gives 2 red picks, a 50k and a 100k pack. Not bad for just 7 wins. Ended up with 82 Bellerin and 87 Bastoni as my red picks of choice.
Mid Icon Swaps pack is done and waiting to be opened. Anyone usable, even if they're a bit on the cheap side, would do me.
Another 66 packs added over the weekend and up to 1,074 packs now (and a few of the 81+ attacker packs, which I won't be counting towards the final target). I won't lie, I'm getting tired of this now and hitting 1,200 (and stopping), can't come quick enough.
Rumours of Prime Kaka and Vidic coming as yet more fodder draining SBCs
I opened my Mid Icon pack up...
Toggle Spoiler
Might be tempted by Vidic, depending on his price.
Probably going to pass in Icardi but think I will finish Pato.
Condolences I got Nakata last year and it makes you seethe when you see motherfuckers pulling Eusebio's and the like
I'm now going off Rooney and think I'll go for Rio + fodder. I can always pick up Rooney for coins and I have enough RBs, so Zambrotta isn't really worth it.
Alas, only one was tradable though
Back for TOTY Mahow?
Nope, I'm officially done.
