    I'm 4-0 since I packed Varane.

    He's absolutely magnificent, especially when paired with VVD.

    Also, I love countering teams:



    I'm seriously hard to break down now, my defence is solid as fuck (and can cover through balls with the speed of Varane) and having Keane and Kondogbia come back on defence really plugs up the middle for finesse shots.

    14-6.

    Pretty good going seeing as it's only my second WL this year.

    Think I'll take a bit of a break and then try for 17 as I do like those rare mega packs.

    So I fell asleep before the Lightning round and now I don't actually have enough for Mbappe.

    I've just spotted that my club value has gone from around 148m to 28m since the TOTY dropped.

    Gents,

    Will these points work outside of the UK?

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/FIFA-19-Ult...4D27BWW5245QM5

    I ask because it says this on the listing:

    Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United Kingdom.
    And I don't want to get Trance points that won't work.

    I've got absolutely no idea how that's calculated. Mine's always been ludicrously high, even when I had a club of starter players and a shitload of bronzes.

    I'm finally going to get round to doing my own opening this evening. Still churning through some of these upgrades, only 300 odd players left to go through, and I have 60 packs ready to go. I don't expect a TOTY but something usable would be lovely.

    Varane loses his first game

    Went 2-0 down early as the guy was playing really high tempo pressure stuff and I couldn't deal with it.

    I then managed to understand what he was doing and Crespo put in a Raul cross. From there I was the better man but he scored this:



    Proper free kick and I couldn't get a goal until injury time for a 3-2 loss

    6 games 1 loss since Varane came in.

    So I started at 6:30pm last night, with 207 packs. This allowed me to cycle through and build a hell of lot more than I ever imagined, finishing on 479 opened packs at 14:00 today, having had 4 hours kip between 7 and 11.

    Here are the packs:



    So essentially 6.5m+ coins worth.

    And what we pulled:



    The IF Walkouts were Asenjo and Arthur, with the Walkouts including Mertens (x3), Neuer, Sane, Casemiro, Navas (x2), Pique, Isco, Rakitic, Dybala and some other decent ones as well. But perhaps most importantly, at this stage of the game I didn't pack a useable card. No Pogba, no Suarez, no Hazard etc. Now you could say that's because of the players I already have are too good already, but Neuer and perhaps Sane aside, I don't think (m)any of the players I did pack would go into people's first teams now*. So you're essentially looking at a game with thousand upon thousands of players in it, with a couple of hundred (?) people actually want to use.

    So do I regret it? I'd say on balance, no. I could have sold the players I put into the initial packs and I'd be sat here with TOTY Mbappe and Marcelo now, but with all the players packed what I did get to do was Raul. Obviously I had to put an icon - Rivaldo - into this which was nothing to with this process, but still, it's amazing how all of these players stack up and you can just hammer through them. If I'm willing to sacrifice some untradeable special cards, and I am, I'll also have Ballack later too. So that's why it's not really over yet as there are more packs to come as a result.

    The competition

    First off, it's fair to say that while people complain about pack weights being shit, there's still a huge amount of overestimation of what you're likely to pack. People were coming into the stream (particularly this morning) and seemed surprised that I hadn't packed a TOTY having opened that many packs. But if you think about it, let's assume all packs are equal (they're not, and it was staggering how shit some of the better packs I started with were) and that I packed one, my hit rate would have been 1/479 = 0.2%.

    Now we know that the chances of packing a TOTY from an Ultimate pack are less than 1%, so the odds of me getting one even from 479 packs are still going to be shit, properly shit. That's just the way it is and EA are very clever with Lighting rounds and limiting the number of Ultimate packs you can open in a row as otherwise we'd have streamers sat there opening 200+ of the things and not getting one. That's 3 grand. Three thousand pounds, not to get a TOTY card that will be worthless in 6 months. Even if the odds are 0.99999% (lol), you'd still need to spend £1,500 to statistically expect to pack one.

    But I digress.



    If someone wants to have a check over that (as I'm on my feet now) feel free, but otherwise congratulations to Trance. If you want to PM me your email address I'll work out how to gift the 4,600 FIFA Points to you and may you pack a blue.

    Other things

    Streaming is odd. I've presented a bit for work and while I don't like that much, speaking in front of 200 people you can see is easier than 12 you can't. Eased into it over the night and had some great bants with a troll who asked me what I could offer over all the other streamers and why he should follow me. I mean, clearly nothing. He and 2 others felt the ban hammer.

    On a similar note I've got new found respect for people that do this professionally. Sitting on my sofa for that long, trying to force yet another duplicate Malcom or William Carvalho into an SBC with a horseshit formation really grated at times and if I had to do all that again tonight and tomorrow I'd absolutely hate FIFA. Sure, people like Nepenthez, Castro etc. are no doubt sorted for life already as a result, but if you think of the shit load of people there must be who're hovering on the cusp of making a living, it's those poor bastards I really feel for, particularly when EA finally get properly called out on this racket. Spending £1,500 on a game that has a shelf life of 9 months should get you everything, not just a(n unclear how good) chance to pack a TOTY and that's before we get onto the gambling side of things.

    People were genuinely staggered by my team, which is lopsided at best at the moment. Which brought home to me how many casuals there are that can't/don't want to put the time in therefore can't comprehend how someone could build a team that good. We in TTH live in a bit of a bubble in that regard. Which you may all be aware of, but whether you're me fucking around with this shit, or Merse and Fox hitting up WL most weekend, we're the exception.

    Which leads on nicely to my next point, I play this game too much and I don't think that's healthy as I'm clearly addicted - I'm already thinking how I might do something bigger and better next year, which is nuts.

    Oh and I did a bit of advertising for TTH with the 10-15 viewers and 21 followers, so expect a deluge of new members chaps.

    Thanks for supporting it gents. It was, on the whole, a good laugh.




    *People who have played the game for a decent (should that be insane?) amount of time.
    Great stuff Yev, very interesting to watch and read. I would have expected much more back from the packs.

    I think it's easier than ever for casuals to build a 'decent team'. If someone was to play rivals / weekend league they could save up for both Aguero and Aubameyang in two weeks, last year I wasn't able to pick up those sort of players until February / March when I pulled IF Son.

    Why is that though? Not having a go, it's just a genuine puzzler to me this one. We all suspected the pack weight was crap last year, EA have actually told us it is this year and yet people (not just yourself) expect me to have packed more.

    I fucked it really as I could have had him for 500k cheaper earlier in the week.

    Mental note to self that TOTY players are at their cheapest on the first day or so of the whole team being in packs.

    And the grind is on again.

    EDIT: Although I do have a fair bit in the club now.

    Haven't used Mbappe yet, but two games on SB Legendary and 5 goals with Raul.

    That was only on basic chem as well, when I get a sniper on that bad boy.

    The more I use him the more I love him.

    I feel like I can score anywhere in the opposition half with Raul, his left foot finesse shots are batshit.

    They're going to go up higher out of packs too. Hopefully not too much.

    I might give it a go. I'm not too attentive though as I'll have the NFL on in the background so who knows how it will go. Will update with a link if/when I decide on it.

    So I put Ibrahimovic in the team on 8 chem (basic style) and fuck me, he's incredible. SB again, but 5 goals in 2 games. He just fucking leathers the ball into the net. Left foot, right foot, headers, it's all there.

    If you can afford him, even if you can't get him in the team yet, I'd thoroughly recommend doing him.

    His stamina isn't an issue either. Presumably down to the Low defensive workrates.

    Tale of the tape so far:

    TOTY Mbappe - 4 games, 4 goals, 5 assists.
    Flashback Zlatan - 2 games, 5 goals, 2 assists.
    Prime Raul - 6 games, 9 goals, 2 assists.

    This is going to sound nuts, but so far I prefer both Zlatan and Raul to TOTY Mbappe. He's obviously lethal when he gets a chance, but I think it's his dribbling style that I don't get on that well with, the ball is too far in front of him whereas with the other two it just sticks to their feet.

    A bit of a dilemma here now.

    Stick with him, wait for the price to rise out of packs before selling back, if you do.

    Just done POTM VVD. Got Handanovic and a few 84s from the packs. I'll sell those on, but I put everything else into EPL upgrades. Got 2 walkouts from my packs and got bloody Ozil and Azpilacueta.

    Yeah, I'll sit on him for a bit as 4 games is obviously too early to tell.

    Trying now to work out how I get Raul, De Bruyne, Mbappe and Zlatan and Keane into the same team.

    Obviously I can do this.



    But I can't work out a way to get both Zlatan and KDB on 10 chem.

    It's also quite lopsided in game, but I'm less bothered about that.

    Zlatan on 10 is pretty much a no go. You can fix KDB with this:

    4-1-2-1-2

    Courtois
    Lala
    Varane
    Silva
    Alves
    CDM Keane
    RM Mbappe
    LM Sterling
    CAM Raul
    ST Ibra
    ST KDB

    Decided I can't be fucked playing anymore so finished on 15 wins.

    Not too shabby at all considering I posted on Friday saying I wish I hadn't redeemed.

    Finally finished opening up the packs. Took a lot longer than I anticipated, and I ended up opening 94 I think. I have the capability to do another 30 or so packs, and continue to recycle players, and after gutting the club to get all of these packs, I'm already up to around 700 players once again.

    Overall, the results were ok:

    4 IFs (2 walkouts) : Funes Mori, Santi Cazorla, Arthur, Deeney
    2 regular walkouts : Buffon, Oblak
    33 regular boards : Keita, Gundogan, Sule, Benzema, Aduriz, Mandanda (x2), Di Maria, Thauvin, Rabiot, Neto (x2), Reina (x2), Sterling, Kimpembe, Payet, Iago Aspas, Carvajal, Subasic, Glik, Lopes, Gerard Moreno (x3), Jonas, Nacho Fernandez, Lemar, Adan, Promes, Savic, Malcom, William Carvalho

    Oblak came out in the last pack I opened (50k rare players pack), and for a split second I did believe it was a TOTY to sign off on the packs. Still a decent pull as he goes straight into my La Liga side as first choice GK.

    Up to 14-1 and that's where I stop. Only did it for the extra player pick and coins. From here I could push for more, but the rewards for 17 wins are completely unbalanced and stupid, so I'd end up pushing to 20, then if I got there with a decent record I'd be looking at 23 and so on.

    I'm back to having about 110k in the club, but after playing a game with Willian now at LW I'm feeling the sacrifice. He feels terrible after having Neymar there. Luckily any LW from the Spanish league, or one who is Brazillian, German or Spanish can play there. That's at least given me the option of putting Sane in there. It's still not Neymar but he feels better than Willian.

    I still want to do that Zlatan but I'll be quite coin limited and need a little bit of luck come Thursday. Either that or his price needs to come down. The other option is I take the Azpi and Ozil I packed before and maybe throw my 91 Ramos on. Should cut the cost of that SBC right down.

    How does he know it's an 86 before the board comes up?

    He calls it right as the lights on the ground show up. Pause at 3:16/3:17.

    I know how it's a walkout but no idea how he knows it's an 86.

    Oh I see. He's using 86 and Walkout interchangeably. i.e. he's packed a player over 86.

    I can do the 2nd part of Zlatan for free if I use Ramos and the other untradeable crap in the club. Thinking fuck it right now #DareToZlatan.

    Checking the stats on Futhead and I think 8 chem will be fine for Ibra.

    Been ruined by him more than once this weekend so I'm very tempted.
