Popped Trent into the La Ligue TOTS and ended up with Kounde
I got given Alaba, which aside from RDT, is likely the least useful of the cards I could have packed. I see him as a clear CDM. Kounde would have linked in my Acuna which would have been great.
Finished my 8 rivals wins this evening and have moved on to idling the draft mode. Going through my 20th match now.
The pricing of those Showdown cards suggests EA think Liverpool are winning. Brave of them. I love Fabs so I feel like I must do him, but man that's steep.
Opened my 82 x 25 pack. Canales and Horta (who I got 20 mins ago from the Liga Nos SBC )
The showdowns look crazy expensive.
Finally packed a La Liga TOTS from a non-guarantee and it was a dupe Munain. After selling him on I turned some dupes into TOTS Aspas. Looks a nice card with an Engine on him, but I'm never putting him on corners...
Coin total over 1.8m.
I opened my 82 x 25 and got no specials in it, but I've decided Best is what I need.
I was going to buy a TOTY Messi, but then I'd have two very similar players for one position. But it's tough to see where I'll spend the coin. Defence is pretty much sorted.
I'd love to buy TOTS Salah, but then same problem as above. But for now I'm on the edge of the cost of some of the very top Meta cards.
Rivals rewards are changing from the start of S7. They'll include TOTW and TOTS in red picks, so that's meh. Speaking of Rivals, I'm not sure if to bother with rewards this week. I'd expected to have some more La Liga players in the club, but unless the end of this draft run pays off, then it looks like not. I might double dip on Ligue 1.
Acuna out of my guaranteed La Liga pack Think I'll need to pick up Kounde now
Finished up the draft thing today and the 84+ gave me a TOTS... I swear I never want to see RDT again.
TOTS content not showing again Apparently is a CM version of Lamar.
Decided to pop the packs and recycle as I wanted to get Fabinho done. Actually packed a non-RDT TOTS! It was Araujo from a La Liga Upgrade pack. What a defender that is for 50k btw. Base 99 reactions and composure. Great passing and physicals that mean a shadow is an obvious choice. Is tall as well.
Managed to also get TOTS Grimaldo from a PP later on and have done Fabs for "free."
I think I’ll do that Lemar. Looks very nice for La Liga / French fun but I just don’t think I can justify either of the CL cards.
Apparently FB Verratti coming with Ligue Un
I've only done Fabinho because it's Fabinho.
From La Liga SBCs I didn't hear great things about Isco. He's also very similar to the Fekir I have so I see little point.
I have the same feeling with that Lemar and the flashback Greaseman.
Those icons
1/5 is pretty good for the top packs
Hmm the price seems steep on those. The Icons should really be cheaper imo. If we assume the in store pack will be about 150k, you're really working with 24 tokens.
I'm not sure I'll bother collecting them all for that tbf.
So they’ve released golden goal cup essentially. You get 5 shots per day ahead of the usual 3.
Usual 14 win reward track.
Also got Marquinhos from the saved Ligue 1 packs. He looks disgusting but it’s yet another defender!
I got two TOTS from my 83 X 25.
Taremi and a dupe Adan
Also packed Hero Cordoba from the flash SBC. Would have been nice a few month ago.
The TOTS Guarantee for this league is surely going to be 88 rated or higher.
Looks like I will be saving my dupe Canales for that one.
Best part is, you'll likely get a French flag or Brazil flag and you'll have no idea how good it is still.
right.
5/5 in the cup. Winning the last one with this:
Thinking this through. If we get an 84 x 25 in the swaps above. I think I might send the one from the last swaps into this team.
Would leave me with an 85x20 and 84x25 for Ultimate.
Token stream up
Cheers Danny!
4/5 in that cup for me. Was going swimmingly until someone ambushed me with constant pressure from the start. It’s very strange how the game just sort of… ends. I however don’t have a great team for this. My midfield is a bit sluggish.
Yeah its weird. I thought it crashed at first.
I did Verratti. I like him a lot so far.
Stream finished almost as soon as I put it on! Hopefully it's back tomorrow.
I'm not sure on doing Verratti. Every week they seem to chuck CBs and a CM at me.
Needed 8 wins in qualy to get the last Icon Swaps token. Went 8-2. Already faced people with Ligue 1 reds in their teams too.
I have 9 tokens left, but I'm still leaning on taking Best for the full 9. It's either that, or chance the 83+ x 25 and Kenny.
I got Nun O'Mendhsz from my saved 84x25 plus a shitload of fodder (inc TOTS Taremi).
Think I'll end up putting him at LW and moving down to fullback to switch Acuna into midfield. Still need to pick up Kounde though
Hmm - PIM Blanc SBC is out and costs buttons. Might do that and chuck him in for a few games
Looks like a nice cheap fodder dump.
Batman SBC is cheap too.
4/5 again with GG cup. Hit the bar in the last game and got countered. Every single one had a red TOTS or two from Ligue 1 too. A lot of Payet, Mendes and Lafont about. Managed to get Terrier in one of the 75+ double packs. I'm tempted to do Verratti just to use in this mode tbf. I need to win a smidge over half of the remaining games to collect the full rewards from it.
Wont be playing much of champs tonight if anything, for obvious reasons. Though I need to remember to check Squad Battles later. I'm just into Elite 1 because of the Swaps this week. Wouldn't mind staying there.
If you are close you could AFK some beginner to do Maxim/Sarabia.
I went 4/5 too. Got the 10 75 Ligue Un pack and the lead card was Volland
They threw up a half time challenge to do. There until tomorrow.
That Bale card is about to be 95 too.
Courtois was a proper wall tonight.
And I did Fabinho. And didn’t do Rodrygo.
What a shit night.
I did neither. I didn’t believe enough to do Rodrygo
Yet again a shitter league player as the red. Did get Vitinha in the other packs though, so some more coins for the pile.
There's a few cards in that Belgian TOTS that actually look good. Vanakan looks great for those who love a big powerful midfield type(@thommo).
Two new showdowns look cheap as chips. Emerson might be worth doing simply as he could link your Ligue 1 and Serie A teams up. He looks as good as Nuno Mendes, but an upgrade would likely make him better.
I got the Saudi keeper from the reds
So many of these tokens are locked behind play x games, might be worth doing some quitting friendlies.
I'd be up for splitting them with you if you want? They've put them behind the "play with x in the squad" games too.
4/5 again in the GG cup. Almost exactly the same as yesterday. Faced a full non-rare gold team in the last game and he hacked me down as I went in on goal, then quit. The rematch was against a full Ligue 1 TOTS team. RIP.
I have AFK'd the Turkish one in friendlies but still have Belgium to do.
Down to back out of a bunch of games for you to get those done.
Sure thing. Just let me know when you want to do some. And what version you play on.
I can do it now. I am on PS5 version. Do you have both installed?
I do indeed. I play PS4 usually as the auto drop back on PS5 drives me insane.
I’ll Chuck you an invite. You can go first.
Alright.
I only need Belgium so can do mostly your stuff
Thinking I might pick up De Ketelaere and Vanaken cards. Have a sneaky feeling we might get a batshit Naingollan FB
Terrier and Payet out of my 75x10
Still not got one from Ligue Un
Rinsed loads of upgrades and got a bunch of FODDA and 2x minor league ones (nothing to write home about)
