    I somehow managed a corner goal in Rivals, it was also a header and it was with Lewandowski who is only one of two players in my team with over 82 physicality.

    8 days to try and nab another headed goal with Lewandowski or Laporte.

    Went on a soplurge with my coins, looking like this:



    Got a feeling Lozano's price will just rise.

    I did not realise that Lozano was only 40k. I've picked him up.

    His cards are always great, he always gets upgrades as he scores for fun and he's actually in a useable league now.

    Current state of play. I really need a better right sided midfielder. Lozano would be golden.

    If you've got some coins, I'd look at buying Allan.

    https://www.futbin.com/20/player/731...rques+Loureiro

    He's gone up by 20k since a few Youtubers mentioned him but he looks stunning.

    An anchor on him and he's an amazing CDM.

    Delle Alli in my Rivals rewards. Another player I’d never normally use but he’ll go into the team somehow.

    I only played 1 game of Rivals last night, but managed to win 2-1 with 10 men, so I've earned some small rewards from that, a 7.5k & 15k pack.

    Decided to just open them on the phone in work, and got Casillas (an 83) in the first pack, and then Verratti, my first walkout, in the second. I can't argue with that, and that'll be useful for either an SBC or selling once the prices rise in the future.

    Lucky. My best was IF Doherty. 12k. Looks like he is sitting in the club for a while.

    I also took Alexis. He is more likely to play.

    I went for Sanchez as his previous FUT cards have been pretty good.

    Seems to be playing and he's scored one this season so far.

    Just had someone quit a Rivals match with 80 minutes gone.

    What was the point?

    2 games left with midfield assists for Ndombele.

    That happens a surprising amount.

    How are you finding Div 9? Think you'll try and stay down that end?

    My play is pretty shit right now because I'm not overly concerned about winning, it's all about getting the ball to a midfielder and getting an assist with them.

    Defensively I'm playing so offensively and risky and in attack I've passed up on easy goals as they wouldn't have been assisted by one of the right players.

    Still won all bar 3 or 4 thus far I think and I'm into division 8. I'll probably keep myself in division 6 eventually though.

    Dele Alli in for Amadou at CAM with Busquets and Ndombele in behind in a 3-5-2. Got them all on 10 chem, with Marksman, Backbone and Guardian the chem styles respectively.

    Haven't tried the new team yet, but pretty keen to. Loving this first owner malarkey.

    Ndombele finally done.

    Did the last two in consecutive matches and the last one I managed to get an assist in about 4 games minutes. Won 7-2 with him disconnecting in injury time.

    Bought two more Lozano OTWs for 46.5k each.

    The matches between Torino and Napoli usually results in lots of goals (Napoli have won the last 4 away 3-1, 3-1, 5-0 and 2-1), Torino have conceded in their 3 home league matches (plus 3 to Wolves in Europe) and Napoli have scored 10 in their 3 away league matches this season.

    If Lozano starts then he's got a great chance of grabbing an IF.

    H/H, can't shoot, he's gone.

    Up to 266,000 coins now.

    Should probably think about investing seriously now, or do Martinez. The latter would be more fun. I guess as well I now have an amount of coins (and a load of shit in the club) that I'll be able to do the next properly good SBC that comes along.

    Oh and while I'm on the objectives, they're crap, aren't they?

    They've dedicated an entire section to it but the things you have to do are either unimaginative or borderline impossible. Once you do them you earn XP but you've no way of knowing how much more there is to come so can't select what you'd like to do and there'll be people who miss out on getting the level 30 reward by a few hundred XP from nearly 100,000 as a result.

    The player rewards for level 30 are also crap by the time we'll be able to get them. I highly doubt an 85 Zaha would be a guaranteed starter for me in 30+ days time and I'm running a first owner game. If I was allowed to buy players with coins to use in my team there'd be absolutely no chance he would.

    Absolute shambles.

    Still when it's back up I'll be all over that if it's not a ludicrous price. He's clearly been nerfed from previous versions, but he's in a league full of goat herders and an IF or two will see him being the bollocks again.

    I'll do it for that. The solution I'm looking at on Futbin is going to come in a fair bit higher than it claims currently mind.

    fuck. you know what, that's incredibly tempting.

    in previous fifas i've tried to do the sensible slow accumulation thing, but it generally just gave me a headache and i'd get annoyed with myself when i did shit like buy kroos for 70k, hate him, then end up selling him for 50k. and the two fifas i enjoyed FUT most on were the ones i did the DUTCH league and the TURKISH league, as imposing massive restrictions on myself made me appreciate scraping out wins in div 6 and 7 far more than in higher divs with better teams. my awful lack of ambition clearly applies to video game as well.

    also, I've always loved the idea of having an icon/legend, but i've never been able to afford one except the shit 85 rated 5'9'' centre backs in the arse-end of the game cycle.


    how well do icons hold their value, in case i massively regret it/hate the one i go with?

    Previously they've held their value quite well, but this year is different as there won't be any icon SBC's any more, so I'd expect them to behave like regular players more, perhaps even more regular as they won't be required for SBC's at all as regular players always are.

    Only baby and middle icons are in packs at the moment as well don't forget.

    You'll lose money on whoever you buy, but first owner really is awesome and you'll probably be using that player for the rest of the game cylcle.

    How many coins could you scrabble together if you sold everything (bar a few players to cobble together around whoever you buy) and what platform are you on? I could have a look and suggest a few players.

    Messi is 914k and Mbappe 823k on Xbox.

    The icons at that price point don't look that appealing.

    It's a somewhat stupid set of self-imposed rules that might make the game more fun for you if you're that way inclined.

    First Owner = you're only allowed to use players in your team that are first owner. e.g. you've packed them or crafted them from an SBC, but not bought them from the transfer market. You can buy players from the transfer market to complete SBC's, just not play them.
    Pack Only = As above, but you can't use the transfer market at all to buy anything.

    Why would you do these things you might ask? The more you play the game the more you realise that there are a small pool of players that are 'meta', which if you can buy who you want (coins permitting, but they're a piece of piss to generate) you'll always gravitate towards. This pool of players doesn't change a huge amount from version to version and it gets boring using the same players every year. With the above self imposed rules you get much more variety and for me a greater affinity to the players you do use as you're not endlessly chopping and changing.

    If I wasn't doing first owner I'd have a much better team than I do now, but I'd be bored as there'd be little to grind for and ultimately the football playing side of the game itself isn't often good enough to keep you playing on its own.

    They both look like monsters.

    I've been trying to get them into the squad somehow but I just can't work it right now unless I go with a Calcio striker and none of them appeal to me other than Ronaldo.

    As an example, and looking at my first current first 11.

    Which of these would be in my team if I could buy who I wanted:

    GK: Lecomte - Nope, much better options available for minimal coins.
    RB: Walker - Again, no. He's good, but I don't like full backs with high defensive work rate and if I sold him I could buy Barcelona's Dembele who is an absolute monster and have change left.
    LB: Firpo - Rofl, not a chance.
    CB: IF/TOTW (In form/Team of the week) Koscielny - No, he's slow as shit.
    CM: Busquets: No chance, far too slow.
    CM: OTW (One to Watch) Ndombele. He can't shoot at all or really defend no matter what chemistry style you put on him so no.
    CM: Dele Alli - 3 star weak foot, which is just a bit shit for an attacking player. 4 star makes a massive difference and 5 star is gold (see Barca Dembele).
    RW: Antonio - He's only starting for chemistry reasons, so no.
    LW: Fraser - He's good, but there are better, so no.
    ST: Potm (player of the month) Pukki - Maybe. He is really good, but again he only has a 3 star weak foot so will be pretty useless in a relatively short space of time when the teams you face get better.

    So my team is a bit shit and far inferior to what I could buy with coins, but I love them all, well apart from Antonio who is technically useless, but he gets subbed out for Martinez who is totes amazeballs, but again wouldn't be if I could buy who I want.

    Hope those paragraphs of seeming insanity make sense.

    Finished Salah's Story and completed Week 2 Bronze and most of Week 2 Silver (just have to score in 2 separate games) which doesn't leave me with too much left really.

    I have the Rival Header from Oktoberfest which I can't be fucked to do, the Max Chem and King of the Hill friendlies (which can be done in a game in each), Week 2 Gold and then the score in X SB/Rivals matches.

    3683 XP from level 19.

    They really need to add more soon.

    Yeah, it's something I've sort of gravitated towards since I got back into FIFA about 3 years ago and once I'm bored of that I'll probably dip back out again.

    Mahow, I'm on.

    Level 17, 1,478 XP from level 18, with the following left to do:

    Oktoberfest - Rival Header & lucky No.7. I can't be arsed with either and I'm only losing 200XP by not doing them.
    Week 1 Gold - Tower of Power and Score a Corner. These two can get fucked in the ear. No chance am I even trying.
    Week 2 Silver - Score 5 times, 1 left to do.
    Week 2 Gold - Whatever's in there when I unlock it.
    Play Online - Score in 20, 40 & 60.

    Other than not finishing the early access stuff I think I've done everything else available. It'd be a bit shit if that isn't a good enough run rate to get to level 30, but who knows.

    I'm almost certain they'll end up not giving out enough for 30 or leaving it so tight that we'd have had to do everything.

    Before the Score a Corner in Rivals objective I had not scored one in any game mode. I've now scored 4 in Rivals and come really close another few times, I seem to have found my groove with them.
