DDG being available for nothing is mad. Also frees up some fodder.
Saka with a Maestro looks great too
Opened a chunk of packs up. Decent fodder but no TOTS. Waiting for the next flash to get rid of some dupes and then the 84*25 will be opened.
Next flash SBC is up
And another one.
Nothing at all from the saved rewards packs, but that 81+ PL pack paid out TOTS Ruben Dias.
Jumped back in earlier this week. Easily worked up to D1 on an unbeaten run from D4, felt good about my Fifa, liking my team, jump into Champs tonight... Fuck me, it's been tough. 1-3 so far. Might wait it out til Monday-Tuesday to play the rest of my games.
You've picked a hell of a weekend to dabble back into the WL there Merse! Though as an Arsenal fan there's a "free" Saka card for you to get yourself if you need more players.
The Dias packing leads me to think the time is running short on Ramos. He outmatches him in almost every way physically and defensively. Ramos is more agile but that's about it really.
A red pick Cancelo would be absolutely perfect from here. The new one has H/H instead of the H/M of the old, thus making the new one a perfect CM or the perfect LM in a 3-5-2.
My issue is that linking Mbappe in becomes a fair whack harder without really rejigging the full team about.
The prices on some of these cards is absurd
Bernardo and Bruno look like absolute bargains. Alisson and KDB are great prices too
There is serious temptation to claim the fodder packs right now and submit them to see if I can pull any of the Liverpool boys. Looking at these cards almost all Icons are pointless.
Bernardo looks like Messi with that dribbling boost. Alisson has fucking 91 pace!! Penandes has lost some special card pace but has become decent defensively to compensate. With a shadow becomes a great CM. Virgil shafted with the pace split. KDB given the opposite to Penandes and has some defence removed in favour of a smidge more pace and dribbling.
I've just got Saka done but in the packs afterwards annoyingly fat fingered it and accidentally opened the La Liga 81+ jumbo pack. Luckily for me that team has the least implications on my own, but it's still annoying.
Trent, Unnerstall and Mazaraou in my 84 x 25 pack.
The latter is a dupe.
His shooting is a little low, but Trent seems like a must move into CM kind of card.
Yeah if you can work it then it looks like his ideal. I probably wont even use him as I have Hakimi.
I kinda want to do Dele SBC even though I know he doesnt work for me either
Yeah I've not heard great things on Gomez either yet. I also got Henry as the loan PIM in my PS+ pack but he feels horrible. They've not done him justice at all.
There is not a lot of other places to stick your fodder though.
Yeah, I finished Lahm and did another Cantona segment earlier to move some
The above left me with 7 dupes. 88 TOTY, 86, 86 x 2, 85, 84 & 84 IF. Too much to just waste.
Also have these packs left:
L1 Premium Players Pack
LL Premium Players Pack
11 La Liga Pack

11 Serie A Liga Pack

I dont see it being much profit but I think I might go all in on TOTS this week.
Every man and his dog will be doing the Prem TOTS
You could get Bruno for 170k on Xbox earlier. He's picked up a bit since, but that is still insane
Are you going to wait for EFL or will you buy Unnerstall?
I’m eyeing up fodder now. Fabinho and Vardy are 9k each and Kroos is back down to 19k from being 25k during the week.
This is pretty much as low as they’ll be now everyone has smashed all of their packs open, just a case of which one brings better/faster coin.
Gone in on 70 Kroos at ~19k a pop. Wont turf up any trees, but as long as he's 20k I make my money back.
Packs have been blasted harder than they will at any point in the cycle, apart from maybe TOTY and Ultimate TOTS. Last week he just dipped under 20k and rebounded out to 23k by Monday.
I'm banking on either they release a big Icon SBC tomorrow, big EPL SBC or just general market drying up.
Flash SBC expires in an hr
You can get some as low as 18k, but didn't mind paying up around 19.5k.
Obviously the market is different than last year, but I looked into what happened then. There was meh community TOTS stuff last year, then the EPL started off okay before it hit a bang with some juiced cards coming. Last year for example, Kroos hit 28k during this same day and then was back up over 40k just over a week later.
The gamble I'm making is that I can get by in WL for another week without buying for the team.
Yeah I see him around 19.5 as a standard, so I am mass bidding around 18.5k and will see how it goes.
Easy to pop in 50 bids on the laptop.
Token stream up too btw.
Great shout.
The other thing worth investing in is players who'll be in the upcoming TOTS like Benzema, Neymar, Lewandowski etc
That Kane with an engine....
Edit: 100% Raoul. Benz prime of those as he is 'fodder' that will be in loads of solutions.
After seeing that Kane and hearing great things about Dele Alli I decided to pop an 84 x 25 pack to double dip. Got me a Rice, Sangare and Unnerstall as well as some great fodder.
Seeing that made me roll the dice on the 85+ x 20. Unfortunately only Rodri and Haller in that one.
I do have Alli done for those cards though.
You will have to let me know what you think. He looks like he can do everything.
Bernado back down to ~210 so I nabbed one.
I now want to do Kane to link him in, but Dele Alli off the bench first I think. Ease him in.
3 game daily cup is back, this time it's just premier league XI.
I have a great defence and midfield for it, but only gold Cavani as 2nd striker and regular Trent at RB. I'd been using Dias in the Saka mode and he feels mega in the tackle. He has some extra presence over Ramos, but you do feel that top tier agility not being there.
EDIT: They've hidden a token in the 3rd win.
Its anything you want.
Its MAX premier league players. I am using my normal team.
Its prob a bug but I just won my three against 2 questionable prem teams
Bruno TOTS down to 145k
It took me going into my first game to see what you meant. Sweet jesus.
My last opponent obviously had the same idea as me but he had a rare gold EPL team against my full WL team. It was not pretty.
I can imagine.
7 wins gets an 84+ prem packs. need to get that done by Friday.
Man that tutorial intro thing really is kind of shite, right?
"Hey, look how cool football is. COOL, HUH? LOOK AT HOW FREE AND EXPRESSIVE THIS SPORT IS. AND LOOK AT THESE FAMOUS COOL FOOTBALLERS. YOU WANT TO BE COOL, RIGHT? ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL THINK YOU'RE THE COOLEST. AND PARIS IS REALLY NICE. PICK OUT YOUR COOL CLOTHES, COOL PERSON."
Fucking murder me now.
There's a skip button...
Look, I want the full FIFA experience. That includes all the lines they paid Thierry Henry to deliver. And the lines that David Beckham was apparently unavailable for.
WHY IS LEWIS HAMILTON HERE!? Oh, right. EA does F1 now.
The full FIFA experience is getting your hotel raided by the FBI, so careful what you wish for
Well, I'll be putting the difficulty up. Thumped Chelsea 5-0 (all goals in the second half) on Semi-Pro.
Ripped my 85+x20 pack:
- TOTS Ruben Dias, Kokcu, Mazraoui and Sinisterra
- 1 IF
- Only two dupes in total (Donnarumma and Schmeichel)
I went with an Engine on him, makes his passing perfect, minus free kicks, and his dribbling pretty much high 90's.
Boy does he feel big in game. Now my midfielder of choice is usually a 5"8-5"10 kind of guy, nice and agile, but perhaps lacking physically. He really does not. He is also very silky for a man of his size. Now he will not feel like Bernardo Silva will, but you aren't pushing anyone off the ball with Bernardo.
Another big one for me is, I'm used to having used Cali, Lahm and Tonali, all of whom have high defensive work rates. Dele does like to push on with the attack, but it does also pop him up in some great positions.
@Danny question for mass investing like this. In my situation do you just hold the cards now and wait for the price to go up, then list en masse? Or do you start listing hoping for lazy buyers?
I've made myself something of a shopping list. I would like to add in TOTS Trent, Silva, Jota and TOTY Cancelo. That came to about bang on my coin total before investment and should go down as we move into the early week.
Even in the worst possible red pick situation here I'm in good shape too. I'm assuming there'll be a lot of Alisson, Rodri and Rice on offer. All I need is one of those to be different.
I have them up at 23/24k now. Just hoping for a nibble. I ended up with around 44 ~18.5k
Silva and Bruno are even further down
Fred is still mega expensive
