The fuck is doing a hero pick in January
If it’s cheap enough I’ll do it/I imagine people (Yev) will dump fodder into it if the SBC lasts. If not fuck that.
Only 4 of them are worth over 100k. Madness. Ginola still almost 1m
These fuckers
Vidic + Rio looks like the winner @Danny Definitely a Utd fan making the SBCs this year!
I've done Icardi as I was needing a striker for Ligue Un. Looks pretty versatile and some great links.
That'll leave me 500k in the bank (with about 100k on the trade pile) and 30+ packs for Friday
Thanks to the leakers we knew it was coming but I was hoping it would be a little cheaper. Currently about par with his tradeable. I think dropping an 85 would be about right really to make it worth it.
That said, depending on dupes/TOTY content I might work on it slowly as I did finally claim Rio yesterday.
Yeah - agree with that. I'll probably still do it, assuming I get a shitload of fodder over the weekend.
This will be my team for the moment (until I pack TOTY Mbappe ))
That’s a lovely team. I’ll post my “main” that I use in rivals/WL when a play in a bit, there’s quite a few golds in there still
https://www.futbin.com/22/squad-builder/view/4998495
All first owner, Ronaldo and Hakimi tradeable. I did have Soyunchu and Walker (on the bench) in there until I packed IF Hakimi. Clauss and Rio are options if I decide to sell Hakimi. Goretzka and my normal Davies are subs. I would like to improve Mendy and Kante but they are needed to keep Ginola on chem.
I could swap Lloris for Donnarumma but it would mean converting Ronaldo all the way back and KDB to the front.
TOTY apparently leaked

You shouldn’t need league specific rares for the upgrade packs.
My God I hope that’s the team.
How do you play in game? I'm a bit surprised you have that many golds - I thought you'd have a mega team by now as you usually seem to be on it with trading etc. Or are you trying to go full First Owner this year?
On TOTY - any of those apart from probably Jorginho, Dias and Lewa would be amazing. You just know they'll make Jorginho too weak/Dias too slow and Lewa too clunky.
I await the "it's not realistic" brigade chiming in with how Salah and others should have been in the team and Mbappe should have been nowhere near it.
Lads, it's a videogame - I've got a dead alcoholic and a jobbing Frenchman from the Chinese league (with stats he could only dream of) up front. Do one.
What is your team at the moment Yev? Be an interesting pre/post-TOTY comparison
4-2-3-1 with KDB and Kante behind Beckham, Silva and Ginola.
400k in the bank and about 2m in tradeable fodder/investments so the option to upgrade is there but this team has just been working for me as a "competitive" team. I do also like that its FO.
The club has some very good cards I just cant get into the team without messing with the balance/chem. Showdown Sule and Pique, Adidas Ter Stegen, the Bayern boys on the bench. Kimpembe, Varane and Kante shouldn't be this good
Not sure if it will get fixed but the bronze/silver teams for Vidic require 50 rated rather than 50 chem. Makes it much easier to get rid of untradeable rares without any thinking.
Nice, that's those bits taken care of
85+ x3 SBCs that require 84 rated teams.
That St Juste card would have been the best centre half in the game if they made him a featured player I reckon. One more TOTW and he won’t be far off
Icardi is a cracking player:
- Played 8
- Scored 10
- Assists 4
One of those was a game where the guy quit at 0-0 because he was getting molested too. His stamina is a bit low so you need to manage his instructions carefully or sub him out but he's a lovely card.
Oh and completely gutted the club last night in advance of what should be the lowest fodder prices we've seen all year - completed Icardi and the 85+ packs and then sold all golds of 83 and above.
I've decided to use Mid Moore for this WL. This is the squad I'll be using:
Switching to a 4-2-3-1 in game, with Moore and Laurent in CDM, Moore on stay back. Wilson in the CAM spot behind Cavaleiro. The aim is a red 84 Mitro
Think I will be doing the same today. Thinking I will sell everything, all fodder etc, as I imagine over the next week it will crash.
Left myself needing 6 wins last night, from 10pm, to get the 7 wins. Proper sweatfest but I managed to do it by 12:30.
Red 84 Dumfries this morning and the packs saved for TOTY.
Might wait until a future promo to open all my packs. Haven’t missed an 83+, 85+ and have 60 in total now. TOTY feels impossible to pack, but then again - the PSG players are all desirable for me.
Elite division son
Yeah, 7 wins in Elite gets you 1x red pick from the last 4/5 TOTW.
Managerial Masterpiece is the absolute fucking worst.
It really is. I did Sarr too soon so went back in there to do that other obj. Was a pain in the arse. Atleast I was able to double down with that Lihue Un card I didn’t give a shit about doing.
TOTY announced and is as expected.
I go for the 7 a week and I usually end up in Elite with 3/4 weeks left in the season. Most of the time its not too bad but this week was terrible.
Just going to echo the thoughts on MM. Absolute pain in the arse trying to get these specific challenges. It is offset by the genuine joy I feel when I finish a game with one of each of the requirements, but that is few and far between.
I think I need 4 more wins, 2 by a brace, 4 more goals from outside the box and 5 more volleys to get both Sarr and Manquillo done. It'll take an age, especially playing against the plebs I keep matching up against.
I haven't done hardly any of the players, mostly for that reason. Just sounds like an absolute ballache and I can just buy Varane for like 30k who's just as good
Filthy Harry Kane SBC coming.
I'm off from next Friday to Tuesday inclusive, so depending on who the 12th man may be I might start this on Thursday night instead, if all 11 are in packs by then.
FUT Sheriff reckons:
Attackers - Friday & Saturday
Mid - Sunday - Tuesday
Def - Wed & Thursday
Full XI - Friday onwards
Hasnt been far wrong so far but isnt sure where 12th man comes in.
Leaked content so far
Toggle Spoiler
My guess would be he's wrong on the mids being in for three days and we'll have the full team by Thursday night.
I've just run the numbers and including recycling I'm going to be opening somewhere between 2,500 to 3,000 packs, nearly ten grand's worth.
Mid or Prime SBC after TOTY too
Dest moments too apparently.
Could allow me to use Adidas MATS, Dest, Pique, Sule and Davies at the back
Would put Ginola on 7 chem tho.
Servers are busted.
Flash challenge that expires in a couple of hours is up.
Yep, servers are absolutely fucked. Every year
Got in, opened my 85 x 3 attacker. Benz, Griezmann and Martinez. Griezmann being dupe untradeable so I need to figure out where to put him.
Halts the plan of opening all the attacker packs for now.
TOTY. Best event in gaming.
Messi + Mbappe loan cards is gonna be filthy in Friendlies
EDIT: Verde has no loan restrictions

6-3 in the WL playoffs with the Championship side I posted above. Harry Wilson running the show with 11 goals and 4 assists.
Bobby Moore (with a Catalyst) is actually a very good CDM....
WL being extended had me tempted but I just don’t think I can be bothered
Not sure on timeline but apparently a flashback Varane is coming. That’s going to be mad.
This is basically Ultimate French Team now
