This 75x2 is proper mental. Why?
This 75x2 is proper mental. Why?
These upgrades have been paying out for me.
Some late night grinding.

So on the upgrade packs, having looked, the best way seems to be to chuck your rares into the Ligue 1 premium, which will then give you commons back to put into a pick. 2 chances with one pack essentially.
First one I opened, dupe Terrier. Not too bad, so he went into the 75+ x 10. Best from that was an 83...
A couple packs of nothing, then bang TOTS Payet. Recycling those then got me a TOTS Guendouzi from the a PP and then the very next upgrade pack gave me a heart attack:
Again I thought it was one of the other two. He went into completing flashback Verratti, which when done allowed me to go into GG Cup. Finally went 5/5. These felt like big upgrades to the Ligue 1 team.
In the resulting packs from that I got another Lafont, which I've had to quick sell for now. I don't think any of the Icons are worth doing and there's not much else to do.
What this does mean is I'll have to get very lucky from WL picks to get anything I don't already have. There's no chance anything north of Tchouameni shows up. As such I'm almost definitely playing to 11 wins. Made a start tonight and went to 6-0, but I've been absolutely robbed in two straight games, so I've stopped for now. The plan is 11 wins as said, but if there is a chance of 14, I don't want to blow it now.
I also had one guy come back from 2-0 down and then quit on me. Though best has 15 goals and 8 assists in these 9 games. He feels great. As if you bumped Bernardo Silvas pace way up, but he lost a smidge of agility for it.
Dupe Kante + 2 x 85 from the 2 x 85. Kante went into the final Cantona segment.
Two shit cards from the guaranteed including a dupe of the Belgian league keeper. He will sit there until we get the Ligue Un SBC.
@Gray Fox thats some great luck you have had. Mine has just disappeared during this TOTS. Sadly.
Had the most perplexing evening of games. I use the GG cup as a warm up and it's a good job. I went 1/5 today. Struggled to get anything going at all and gameplay was horrid. Resumed 6-2 on WL and really struggled in gameplay to two ground out wins to start. After that I had to reset my router and it seemed to do the trick. Gameplay was much more normal after that.
I ended up finishing 16-4 again. Very happy with that after the slow 6-2 start. Best a star of the weekend. I ended up 11-3 and decided to play on to 14. Still had two games spare at that point so played on, won the first one and then the 2nd I took an early lead with a frankly bullshit goal and he instaquit.
Red pick 1: Nuno Mendes, Saliba, Terrier, Clauss
Red pick 2: Terrier, Saliba, Fofana, Lafont
Went for value both times. I did want to take Clauss originally in the hope I'd get Fofana in the next pack, but figure he's about 50k so I could just buy him.
Ligue 1 pack: Lafont, Nuno Mendes, Saliba
First two are technically dupes so I sold them on straight away. Saliba is in the club and will likely go into the TOTS guarantee tomorrow. This brings the coin balance to a nice 2.1m. It's almost time to spend.
Recycled the shit into the Ligue 1 upgrades and got another TOTS! Fucking Lafont again. There's now two of him in my quick sell recovery. I think if you include the red option in my picks, that's 5 times I've packed him. I know who I'm getting from that guarantee...
That was me in the GG yesterday 2/5. I was very confused. Guess shit just happens some days.
Thats solid set of reds but about the expected really. Nunos birthday card is a beast so TOTS must be mad.
Nuno has that thing (like Davies) where his pace just feels far quicker than players of a similar size/stats
The Diaby card also has that. They just feel faster than 99 pace. Maybe it's the smaller frame?
I'm not too unhappy with the reds, as I've seen people get two fours of Guendouzi, Clauss, Saliba and Terrier. Just a bit annoying I'm collecting more defenders and midfielders.
Ligue Un TOTS pack out...I just got Saliba out of a 75+ pack, so I'm nailed on to get him from that
EDIT: Clauss
I got Lafont out of the premium packs. So I expected him. It was worse. Payet.
Though I did just get the Yorkie (Terrier) and Clauss in a premium upgrade.
And another Lafont.
75x10 brings a dupe Terrier and Donnarumma
What the fuck is up with all of your accounts?!
I hadn’t packed a single one until today. I stacked up like 15 of the premium upgrades and got to recycling.
If you play enough/do a load of SBCs you'll hit them through sheer perseverance. I've basically now got every average/shit TOTS from Ligue Un
I put the dupes into Gouiri, who looks cracking
I just got another Yorkie so might do him. Though I can’t see me using him over club legend Ginola though
I did some mass bidding on the laptop last night and have been doing this.
I wanted to not see a French flag in my guarantee and the game obliged. Giving me a Fofana…
I think he and Lafont will be going into that Gouiri. Got to try and win 8 rivals games now.
Another Class so I ended up completing Savernier.
I really feel like Gouiri is crap. Which is a shame. He'd have solved a big chemistry hole for me.
That was a massive slog to get to 8 wins. As it's skill rating it's very evenly matched for the most part. So many close games and draws. So few quits!
This Bourigeaud card looks mega.
Gouiri hasn't impressed me much thus far.
Yeah he does. I chucked his cheap POTM into the 85 segment and will figure out the other but when I actually have some golds
Chucked my last dupe Lafont into the 85+ x 3 and out came... Fofana. I really feel like the game is insisting I use him.
Bourigeud or however it is spelled, looks like they've made him exactly for a 3-5-2 RM spot. I adore cards like this though, because he can literally play anywhere for you. Allows for such flexibility in tactics. Lean body type, so if you boost his dribbling up a little he'll feel great too.
I wouldn’t mind a Fofana
I’ve had 3. Please take one!
I’ve not had multiple of Lafont, Terrier, Fofana, Mendes and Marquinhos.
For the love of god an attacker please.
2 x Lafont
3 x Yorkie (maybe 4)
1 x Payet
2 x Clauss
Would kill for a Mendes. Not even being too greedy imo!
Mendes
Saliba
Dante (Obj)
Clauss
Gouiri (SBC)
Terrier x2
Payet
Bourigard (SBC, when I do it)
Ajorque (Obj)
Way more from this than the others, almost a full XI but mostly good but not great players
Yeah I got a bunch from SBC's etc too.
Dante
Ajorque
Verratti
Savernier (dumped fodder)
Bourigard (like you when I do it).
I did get Todibo when he was in Community too.
Just got Prime Keane from one of the MM's. First Icon this year.
And Clauss behind him. WTF.
FINALLY
Fofana in a Ligue Un Premium.
Wa-hey.
Those things have been great this week even without a mega pull(does Marquinhos count?)
I'm interested to see what you think of him. My 2 CMs are Lahm and Kimmich, so I clearly have a type, but he is the opposite of that. He's all power, but not so finesse.
100%
I have completed the Upgrade 62 times and the pick 95 times. I dont think I have packed a Ligue Un TOTS from the picks.
I've had Guendouzi from the picks, but all others have been the upgrade packs. They've been very kind.
I'd like to hope tonight we dont get a CB objective, followed up with a CDM type as a flashback SBC. I feel like they've got stuck in that formula.
Sheriff reckons Lautaro obj and I saw something about Kessie as SBC.
Still clinging onto slight hope of Naingollan FB
Turns out the Kessie is a FB so yeah another CM flashback. There goes my Naingollan hopes (and Ibra hopes too)
Yeah I've just seen those now.. very meh. I'm sure Kessie will be 86-88 pace, have low 90's for defending and passing, with mega physicals and crap shooting.
Once Serie A TOTS is out there I can finally look at spending for the final team. If you order the players by price on FUTBIN there's only the very first page that I can't afford, so I may be able to try out a mega player, or a few very good ones.
I have plenty enough midfielders and defenders now and I'm sure I'll get more in this team too. So attackers should really be the name of the game.
Decided to watch that TopBins to see what it is. They're waffling with a load of shit, but they have mentioned there are two events this weekend with token drops. There's a 3rd which drops a nice looking kit, but I think no token with that one.
EDIT: seems like there is a token for the third one.
eLigue 1
eBundesliga
KNVB(Dutch league) cup.
All mixed in over the weekend.
Will have to keep an eye out.
TOTS Bremer from the saved Serie A x 11 packs
Nothing from my saved packs, but thankfully the icon to show I had packs to open has now gone. That soothes the soul.
Berardi looks nuts but they've capped his price range at 210k. Maybe worth trying to snipe one.
That icon going away is the real W.
Apparently nobody likes to play golden goal in the Martinez objective. Having to use 11 different clubs is interesting.
I also didn't notice Serie A cup is out. It's golden goal again which is good. I like them giving people the extra day to help getting the top rewards. My Serie A team however is a bit pants in certain areas(full back and keeper).
I didn’t see that, but also haven’t tried to play it yet. Will be interesting how my team looks as I have some decent cards but not sure about 11 different clubs
Yeah it can be a bit annoying. You can only use one of Tonali or Hernendez or Kessie for example. However when doing player picks on Wednesday I did take a few cards with this league in mind.
I do wish he was higher than 92 rated, but I guess then we wouldn’t be getting him for free.
He's come down big time, from going up over 500k he's now settling around 270k. I really do not understand why his card is 10x cheaper than Dybala.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
Speaking of prices, this team is absolutely mad. Every single one of them is below 400k, aside from Leao, Dybala and Theo. SBC wise Sherriff reckons we're getting Pellegrini as one, but nothing for Ribery or Zlatan. Which is a big miss for me.
Yeah that’s disappointing. I know it would be the annual same shit but with Zlatan just helping Milan win the league on one leg I would be with it!
eBundesliga token stream up.
EDIT: This one is up today and tomorrow.
eLigue 1 is I believe 8:30 tonight, but it is the only time you can get the token. That's on the Ligue 1 channel.
KPN Eridevise Cup is 10:30 tomorrow and is also the only chance to get it. On the eDivisie channel.

Great shout. Managed to get that one on the background.
Frenchie stream looks like it's just about to start.
Pellegrini released and he looks dirt cheap. Very versatile card too. Could even get away with him as an attacking CDM/CM.
Ill do the Pellegrini card as I have his captains untradeable to drop into the big segment.
