Got PotM Sane, couldn't resist after following his normal and ptg cards for a while. Almost definitely should have just bought the latter instead, but short-termism for the win.

180k for the 82 PTG
Have to price up the 86 and see. I do have a couple of IFs in the club but nothing to help us towards an 83. So would be buying all of them pretty much.
POTM is short term, PTG is for the long term.
He would need two IFs to get there though right?
To get to 86? Yeah.
But one IF and you'll be able to sell the PTG for profit. He also might be in the TOTGS (I think he needs more from his final two group games) and they give an extra bonus.
If you're only interested in getting the best player, than go for the POTM. If you want to make some coins and potentially see a bigger boost down the line go for PTG.
Might just keep an eye on his PTG and see, still time to maybe fly through the POTM towards the end when the hype dies down.
You sold all your club? Its telling me your value is down massively.
Nope, sold a few 83 and overs but not a huge amount.
Weird. Had your value less than mine, although that thing is wonky as shit.
I did buy IF Fernandinho, maybe that came in to it?
I've got 700k in coins and about 4m in players/consumables or something though.

Christ. Imagine running into that.
Should have bought IF De Gea instead.
I've heard that Schmeichel is dreadful. Sergio Rico does just fine for me. Never lets anything in he shouldn't and saves a few he has no right to. 300+ games and counting with the legend.
Up to date on the squad battles games and firmly into Elite 2 again. It would be nice to pull something decent from a Mega Pack when the rewards roll round.
Yeah I've heard the same.
Van Der Sar and De Gea are the studs in the game.
I use De Gea's standard card and he's the best keeper I've used. The foot save trait is amazing, so many 'unsavable' shots are saved by him because of those animations.
Import options have been taken down until they get clarification from EA though.
Salah on for another IF

I'm going to be mightily tempted if Paulp Ogba gets an IF.
IF Adebayor is getting purchased to sit in my club doing not a lot alongside IF Tim Cahill.
Bought tiago for around 35k and since ive had him in CM. Ive been destroying professional difficulty. I've won every game by at least three goals. Currently sitting in gold 1 with 3 games left today. Going to try and move to world class and see what happens from there.
IF mahrez is awful. He is too weak. Gets boy'd off the ball too much
Have you tried an architect card on him?
No. He does not really fit in with my bundesliga team so i would rather just sell him. I have several options out wide who are stronger my default.Originally Posted by Yevrah
I also need to start implementing basic skill moves into my game. I hear the berbspin is very effective.
I'm new to all this FUT. I've got an alright team but get confused with all the IF, OTW cards and such. What is the difference is in them?
I've got a clean IF Mahrez too, who I was contemplating using but if he's that weak I might just sell him.
I use him in my Hybrid team and I really like him.
IF stands for In form. They are cards that get boosted when the player in real life comes into form. OTW stands for One To Watch. They are for players who have moved to new clubs. Im not sure how they work with boosts.
How do you fit him into a hybrid?
Its a Prem/Serie A/Bundesliga team. 4-3-3 (2)
Leno
Kimmich
Howedes
Sule
Schmelzer
Scream Khederia (CDM)
Gundogan
Scream Ozil
IF Mahrez
Morata
Sane
Other Side is
Leno
Piszczek
Sokratis
Sule/Toprak
Alaba
Scream Bender
Thiago
James
Robben
Werner
Reus
An IF Wilson would likely replace Vardy for me. Loved Andre Grays IF last year and fancy it to be similar. Hopefully similarly priced too.

I wasn't going to bother with that Ireland pfa award sbc but I see that Maguire has 99 agility and balance.
That's this week's squad battles done, finishing around the 65,000 mark for a firm Elite 2 finish. Had the luxury of playing the last four games on professional difficulty and loved bringing Sane on as the centre back that goes forward when ultra attacking, absolute beast. Sane and Promes are the bench players for these two squads that I've been rocking for a while now.

With the stats (format amended as per Raoul's suggestion, which is admittedly much better):
Think it's time to mix these teams up a bit now, which I'll have to do with what I already have in the cloob as I'd rather wait for the market crash on Black Friday/Cyber Monday before spending any more.
Gold jumbo pack or whatever it's called, not even one rare player. SB reward was the worst ever this week for me.
200k away from IF lewandoski. Ive invested in POTM for November being salah. Gone deep on everything basel and egypt. I finished a few thousand off elite 3 which is disappointing. Havent opened any packs yet. Hopefully, i get something valuable. I do all the weekly and daily challenges and so far, best ive packed is a IF mahrez i think. Need my luck to turn with a 200k player.
Sadiku (who?) as my loan TOTW
1000 coins probably the best thing I got in my jumbo premiums.
Didn’t get anything in mine either this week. Thank God for the 20k+ coins.
Team changes in.
New 1st Team:
Gignac in for Ben Yedder - Real shame to see the legend go out of the side and with 159 goals and 148 assists in 177 games he's definitely my most successful outfield player. I needed more presence up front though and I'm hoping Gignac provides that. He's so big he actually looks fat on screen and isn't that immobile.
Alessandrini in for Dembele - With Dembele shifting to the second team for chemistry reasons this is effectively a swap for Williams, my second most successful outfield player. Other thoughts are around getting rid of Goretzke for OTW Tolisso to maximise Alessandrini's chem, but we'll see how we go for now.
And new 2nd Team:
Bakambu in for Aspas - Really liked Aspas' movement, but his left-footed/3 star weak footedness really pissed me off at times. Had a clean Bakumbu in the club and was saving him to sell for inflated coins, but let's give him a whirl instead. Should offer much more presence, albeit with added clunkiness.
Sansone in for Deulofeu - The latter was just getting drowned out far too much on legendary games. I'll put him back in when the boost is activated, but quite like the look of Sansone in the meantime.
Played one game with the new 1st team against the totw on professional difficulty and battered them 10-0, but that game is always pretty easy so we'll see how we do on some legendary SB games tonight.
I thought you had a trillion coins? Why are your teams so full of goat herders?
I'm sat on over 3m now, but I've kept them for a couple of reasons. Firstly to maximise what I can buy when the first crash happens and secondly to experience using a few different players.
Would Scream Bartra and Leno/Farmann be a decent fit in that first team?
Yev is going to feast on Friday.
Ah yea, I hadnt read that far down. His team after Friday
Really frustrating 5 games.
Won the featured game 3-2, but only on pro and we were dogshit, having to resort to a last minute winner via the Sane the ultra attacking centre back tactic. Then we played a 65 rated 36 chemistry side on legendary and laboured to a 2-0 win, missing loads of chances in the first 20 minutes. After that came a 3-2 win (again on legendary) against a pretty good team (IF Jesus, Aguero & Erisken), before the most frustrating game ever where I got so fucked over in extra time it was unreal. Finished up with a good 4-1 against a cracking 87 rated side, but they went down to 10 men after half an hour so that was pretty routine.
So 3 wins out of 4 on legendary, but an average of 1,686 points so far isn't good enough to get any better than Elite 2 again.
In terms of new players. Bakambu is pretty good, as is Sansone. Alessandrini is a beast, (but I really struggle with left footed players) and Gignac is the definition of a lummox, but finishes everything that comes near him.
Feels like a bit of a crossroads at the moment and seriously tempted to list almost everyone of high-ish value in the two teams above and just plough the proceeds into a stonking team after next Monday. I really need a cracking striker.
Griezmann in either team would be an option
Haven't used him yet but really not convinced by him at all. His stats don't look that much better than Ben Yedder's and he has a shit right foot, yet he's 200 times the price.
Decided to carry on and play the next four games, which would usually be a bad idea having come off a frustrating run, but it worked a treat. 6-2, 3-0, 4-2 and 3-1 wins all on legendary for my first 9,000+ point round.
Really getting to grips with Alessandrini, who is unbelievably good. Bakambu's scoring now (getting a hat-trick in the last game) and Sansone is working his way in. Unfortunately I had to swap SBC Gignac out for Ben Yedder as the former just isn't mobile enough.
Oh and special mention for PotM Sane, he now has 19 in 21 (all off the bench), he's an absolute battering ram.

Team A - That I currently use in SB. Goretza is a monster. His cant miss when it comes to long shots. Draxler needs an upgrade. He isnt a good enough dribbler to be in the starting line up. He is quite slow. Muller scores so many tap-ins. Just being in the right place at the right time. In order to play on the higher difficulties, i think i may have to change formation and go to the 4321 with the LF and RF. I dont like to use it as I could defend probably with it, but i may need to go down that route. I really need to start buying IF players as i hear kimmich and others are so good.
[I
Team B - Wagner as a target man
Would you get more chem in that flipping Bender and Thiago? Would link Draxler to the fellow German.
Sane or Reus for that left wing. I use both in my two sides and they are great.
I prefer the right side CM as the more defensive sided player. I havent looked at sane at all, but reus is one on my list that i want. Also want j.boateng but he is crazy expensive.
You could do it for chem and flip after KO.
Boateng is one on my list too, price is mad though.
I can afford him, but i want robert and all my money goes on poland first.
