    7-0 --> 14-2.

    Both losses saw me about even with my opponent. The one that hurt was the first. I was 2-0 up and he came back to snatch it in extra time. He had prime Henry up front who was a nightmare all game.
    The 2nd loss saw me playing a guy with POTM Hazard and Mbappe on his bench. He also has prime Maradona, Messi and Dybala playing in behind Suarez. I did my best and even had a massive chance to go 2-1 up, but Courtois somehow saved a Mahrez to Aubameyang cut back from 5 yards out. He went straight up the other end and scored.

    As for the team, Mane is doing okay, but how crisp Mahrez feels on the ball leads me to want Hazard over there. Wijnaldum is very good for his price. However against your top tier teams he can struggle a little. I'd love to add Pogba in there. The defence is pretty perfect now VVD is there and he keeps adding goals from corners too.

    I'm not sure how many games I'll be able to play tomorrow if any at all, but I'll be happy to stop here if not.

    Get someone who can whip them in, you don't want it being floated into the box.

    Check to see who I have towards the near corner of the 6 yard box. Usually I have Aubameyang there with Van Dijk off towards the penalty spot. Make sure it's an in-swinger and give it 3/4 power aiming at the corner of the 6 yard box.

    I'm 14 and 8 and I'm not playing anymore. I can't handle the constant pressure and tika-taka passing style. I can't figure out how to counter or stop it, I try and cut passing lanes but it just does not work. Yet when I have the ball, the opponenets plays can just sprint into me and come out with the ball. So fucking annoying.

    Constant pressure looks like it will be much less effective after the update which is due shortly (already out for PC users). Someone on Reddit posted a picture of a team using constant pressure and the stamina bars were at 0 after the game.

    They're taking the piss with that.

    The 82+ rated one is probably one to avoid too.

    I don't understand why EA don't do something about the unassigned 'glitch'. I am reading stories of people having 800+ Kepa cards sat unassigned which they are now listing for profit.

    I have taken advantage of it a few times but if they are dead set against people making coins from trading then surely they would sort this.

    Although, it comes as part of cyber Monday you'd imagine it'll be a one day only thing, which would be balls.

    I got Khedira in the 85+ upgrade from a 75 rated untradeable team of largely Swiss and Argentine league golds. So that’s nice.

    He goes into the pot for the Icon SBCs again.

    Tomorrow makes sense with the other SBC expiring.

    Edit: further reading of that and it might be nonsense. More likely to get prime set 4.

    Just opened 4 French player packs and pulled absolute bilge. The pack weights are disgusting, so the rest are getting saved until after the promo.

    I've abstained from playing on for the sake of sleep tonight. I'll have to bash Rivals through the week. Division 3 now though.

    I got him Red this week. I can't describe how much you need to use him.

    I'm loving him at CAM too with his 4*/5*

    That is still 25k behind the next cheapest 87 IF (Szczesny) and 110k behind the next cheapest outfield player (SIF Mahrez). I dont see him getting to Mahrez money but he has to get closer to the 70k imo.

    I bought 18 in total for about 39k average. Sold 5 for 45 already. Holding the rest for a little.

    I punted him to help get De Gea and Marcelo in but I am thinking about picking him back up when I make some extra coin.

    That probably makes sense looking at your side above. Two big improvements.

    Maybe I’ll try pick him up when rewards drop in the next 15

    I've got nothing to use my coins for until Thursday so I've jumped on at about 47k. That bought me a whole 2 of them.

    i'm no tactical genius but i swear to God how the players react to the "tactics" are not how the tactics are intended whatsoever.

    Ask my fullbacks to overlap and all of a sudden they're leading the line in attack.

    Decided to redeem my free draft token this morning. Ended up getting to the final and lost due to a shot coming from the edge of the box. I moved the keeper to have it covered but it hit my defender in the face and went flying into the other corner.

    I ended up getting a measly 2 rare gold packs. The only small comfort to take from this is it got me about 6 squad fitness cards. I'm hoping the 2 Pjanic will rise in price if that Icon SBC drops. If not I'll wait for Thursday and hope he goes up.

    Decided to sell Roberto Carlos. He's probably the best player I've used but he doesn't really influence games enough from left back so I thought the coins would be better spent elsewhere. The free kicks were insane though. I can barely hit the target with other players and I scored several over the ~50 games I used him for.

    Brought in Shearer and him and Reus are ridiculously effective together. Has anyone used Makelele? I went for Keane because of price (sniped him for under 700K) and the formers complete lack of shooting stats does put me off.

    That team looks like a lot of fun. I used baby Keane when he was in the 400’s and really liked him. Sold for a nice profit but nothing like now. Makalele is someone I really want to try but not sure I can commit that money to him right now!

    Champions league games this week, expecting another SBC so I really need to flip my Mendys today.

    That looks a very good team indeed. Icons feel like a big jump on normal players this year too so I imagine Shearer bangs them in for fun. I used the 88 version of Best in that draft run and he's the best player on the ball I've used yet.

    It's a shame they've killed the Icon market for anyone without the mega bucks though. I was going to suggest turning that Keane into the SBC and picking up Makelele. It'd cost you about 400k on top of turning him in, but there's only 2 hours left to do it so I doubt you will.

    I don't think I'd ever do one of those icon SBCs just for the fact that the player is untradable.

    Just checked and 90 Makelele is going for around 1.1m on Xbox right now. Seems like the SBC would cost around 1m (minus any pack pulls) but you have an untradable you can never really get rid of (short of sinking more coins and throwing them back into another icon SBC).

    If you wanted Giggs for example then that SBC makes no sense whatsoever as you can just buy him from the market for less than 800k.

    I think the majority of Baby icons (obviously not Pele etc.) should be price capped (~400k?) as often they aren't any better than some of the meta players and thus will never see play.

    He actually looks very very good. But 200k on him is hard to justify.

    Pjanic should still hold his value due to the IF, 85 rating and Italian league requirement for the first part of Pato. He'll rise again once the repeatable SBC disappears.

    I've just finished up the Hybrid league and nations SBC group. Didn't manage to pull anything from the packs unfortunately, but did pick up a fair few 82s and 83s. I tried my luck at the untradeable TOTW last night and got Orban.

    I'm tempted to try once more. The 2nd player can then move into 1 go at the tradeable TOTW if a bad pull. It's got to be worth a punt, but I see a lot of people getting a walkout only to be trolled by Ziyech.

    Seriously, FUT economists are all awful. I enjoy the Futhead weekly podcast, but the FUT Economist is comfortably the worst thing on it. He offers nothing.

    I had no idea they did a podcast :/

    I typically watch Nick - Runthefutmarket and Elyyt. They both seem generally on it.

    Yeah he will be fine. I am not too worried about all my investments. I should still make money when something good comes along.

    Did an untradeable got Jedvaj and then turned him and Orban into the tradeable and got the damn troll Ziyech. Loss of about 11k after selling him on. Was worth the risk but I won't take it again.

    I reckon 86 Thomas Muller could be a good investment. He's falling to about the lowest he's been since the game came out which is just under 16k. Any form of high rated SBC, whether that be Icon or a future Flashback will surely use him. He's a decent nationality and in a popular league to boot.

    Oof. I’ve been anticipating a flashback Pato for a while - it’s tbe obvious one from CSL. I’m experimenting with 442 and he obviously links well with my three integral CSL Brazilians so it’s a no brainer for me.

    It's the kind of card you're 50/50 on doing now as it is so good, but then when it comes around to me needing a Brazilian striker in a month or twos time I'll kill to have him in.

    A while ago I put this together for the prem prep. I also added my recent trading activity for anyone interested.

    The left table is the costs and what I plan to sell for (assuming they get there of course) and the right is what it would be if I sold right now. Hummels was just about in profit earlier today but the lack of SBC saw him drop. Pjanic

    That looks awesome. Shows I've a long way to go on learning the trading stuff.

    I started following a guy called Imaduckquackk on Twitter and he was telling everyone a week before it happened to stock up on 82s and 83s ready for the TOTW SBC. I followed along and when the SBC did drop everyone who did it is doubling and tripling their coins. Annoyingly his best tips are hidden behind a paywall now. You have to subscribe to his Twitch channel to get the good stuff.

    He did post this last week though and I'll be interested to see if any of you guys have success with it.

    I would be interested to see how that works. I dont have any interests in those leagues though sadly.

    I picked up Mahrez last night and also Renato Sanches today. Guaranteed upgrade in a couple of weeks so see how that works out.
