FIFA 22: Machine Learning and ML-Flow

[Yevrah]

Opened about 60 shit (but some form of gold) league SBC packs last night and the best I got was an 84 in form. It did however allow me to hammer the 81 double upgrades and the 900 pack mark has been breached.



The Oblaks are all gone (marking one of the worst long term investments I've ever undertaken in FIFA) as I needed the coins, but we're on the final straight now. Been averaging over 20 packs created a day for the last 32 days (against an original target of 14), so if I keep that up between now and the 28th Jan I'll have over 1,400 packs, which would equate to something like 45m coins/six grand's worth, but given I'm going to get SBC banned again when TOTY comes as it is, 1,200 is probably more than enough.

[Raoul Duke]

Zakaria into the club. Nice quick one to knock off as most people are doing Golden Goal.

POTM Vlahovic out if you need somewhere to exchange an 83 squad for a barely usable 87 striker.

Rumours of Clauss SBC tonight and some god-tier Fofana HL card tomorrow as part of the extra drop

EDIT: also apparently Talisca got the 5 wins upgrade so should become an 86

[Danny]

Few of the leakers reckon that Clauss is going to be very reasonably priced.

[Yevrah]

Settled for 5 wins in WL this week and got Mooy and Pau Torres.

[Raoul Duke]

Got Clauss in, but not sure I need another Ligue Un RB, what with Atal and Hakimi already. Still, good French defender is gonna always be handy for some Objective/SBC

[Danny]

Feeling the same way. I have IF Hakimi (tradeable) but tempted to try Clauss out and see how he does.

I did the Best loan too, going to try him in rivals this week over Beckham and see how that goes. I do really enjoy Beckham though.

[Raoul Duke]

RWB -> RB cards are selling for about 1k if you have any in your club, due to Clauss

[Danny]

With the amount of packs he opens I am sure Yev has like 237 of them

I have 4.... untradeable

[Raoul Duke]

Another Fulham guy for @thommo

Fofana looks mega but I don't exactly have 1m lying about

[Danny]

Wilson being central is lovely. I figured they were going to have him wide. Ill pick him up if I dont pack him as he is dirt cheap.

Ziyech looks great apart from his WF.

[thommo]

Wilson looks brilliant

Battered through about 20 WL games last night as I had to finish qualifying off. Went 6-4 in the playoffs, and ended up 7-7 in the real thing. I was too tired to go to 9, and I had the 13 WL wins I needed for the token. Reds were fairly good though, Pique and Correa. I definitely felt pretty rusty though, and Puyol at CB was not ideal. But I've tried him out and I can bin him off now knowing he got a whole weekend of games.

[Raoul Duke]

Some good stuff incoming tonight:

I am balls deep in fodder investments so hoping to make a wedge

[Yevrah]

Thank God I held out on gutting the club. Sat on a load of IFS and high rated golds in the cloob that if I sell should see me through grinding up to TOTY and anything I need to buy to complete SBC's during it.

[thommo]

Who did everyone take for Level 15? And who are you planning to take at 30?

[Danny]

I havent claimed level 15 yet. I am waiting to see if we get more foundations. I am leaning towards Nathan. At level 30 I was planning on he Champ player.

[Raoul Duke]

I took Nathan - he's pretty good actually, and Brazil means he's easy to link. My MLS squad was by far the weakest. The other guy looks good for Level 30 too

[Yevrah]

I'll probably take Nathan and the EFL one.

My votes for TOTY are in:

GK: Ederson
Def: Hakimi
Def: Shaw
Def: Marquinhos
Def: Rudiger
Mid: De Bruyne
Mid: Kante
Mid: Son
Att: Mbappe
Att: Messi
Att: Neymar

My conscience is clear.

[Yevrah]

Based on the votes received, team will be:

Mendy
Cancelo
Dias
Marquinhos
Alexander Arnold
Kante
De Bruyne
Fernandes
Lewa
Salah
Messi

[Yevrah]

More appalling content tonight, as per the leak. Base Seedorf, an extortionately priced Prime Torres and another non-repeatable mid-icon SBC.

[Raoul Duke]

I have a Silver, First Owner, Liga Portugal squad Just about have enough Italians but there's some absolute honkers in there

[thommo]

Damn, I need a good SBC to chuck some of my dupes into. Sitting on KDB, HL Savanier, Lloris to name a few, but I don't really want to commit to a Mid Icon pack.

I also missed out on 3 tokens last time around, so 15 is the max I can reach now. Think I will go for the top fodder pack (5 tokens) and the Mid Icon pack (10 tokens).

[Raoul Duke]

I did all but one last time, so I'm going to need to play some WL this time around. Going to take Rooney unless I can make enough coins to buy him and then I'll go for fodder + Rio/Zamrotta

[Danny]

Fodder and Rio for me. Already opened the two small fodders. Will save the big one for TOTY to pack nothing.

[Yevrah]

Same here, fodder and Rio.

[thommo]

I would have done that but I got PIM Rio last year from Icon Swaps. He was amazing, but I don't want to roll with the same Icon if I can avoid it.

The stark contrast to Puyol who could not track any run even with a Shadow on...

[Yevrah]

He does move like he's disabled, doesn't he?

[thommo]

Yeah he was atrocious. Any striker with a modicum of pace beat him. And it was even worse when he was on the ball. You can forget about trying to pass it out, he took an age to kick the damn thing. Like I said, fun little experiment but no more!

I might get in that Brazilian CB at Level 15 you all took. I overlooked him as I wanted to bolster my Championship team, but Chong can play LM and the Winter Wildcard Graham looks like a good RM option so I can ignore Willock I think.

[Danny]

Willock is nice but yeah, Chong was an insta complete for me. Never getting a look in.

[Waffdon]

That Graham card was ridiculously good whenever I used him off the bench in drafts

[Danny]

Pato Flashback SBC coming soon. Looks like we might start seeing MLS content pick up a bit like it did for the other leagues.

Managed to do 5 swaps yesterday. Silver, FO, Liga Nos in 6 games and then two of the online ones in an about 1 hr before I started getting kicked.

[Yevrah]

Has Pato been in the game since the start? I can honestly say I hadn't noticed he was, which makes me think I've never packed him. Kerazy.

[Danny]

Added in Sept according to FUTBIN.

[Raoul Duke]

Looks like it: FUTbin. MLS Foundations players are meant to be soon, hence why Dempsey etc. have flown up. There's meant to be an 85x3 coming tonight so fodder is on the rise. EA trying to drain clubs pre-TOTY

[Danny]

I really should have bought a massive amount of Dempseys rather than just the 1 I did.

10,750 paid and currently 16,500. Could have made 600k in like 2 weeks.

[Danny]

Aguero, Muller and Alba from the 3 x 85+ pack.

Just about even based on FUTBIN

Tempted to open the 83x25 pack too. Seems like one better suited to a promo rather than TOTY due to the lower rated packable cards

[Raoul Duke]

Muller, Parejo and Skriniar for me. Unbelievable scenes

[Raoul Duke]

New patch: link should fix the short corner issue and some defensive positioning/switching changes which sound pretty decent.

Also: rumours of an Icon PP coming

[thommo]

I know EA don't often give out IFs for midweek performances, but Harry Wilson has GOT to be in line for an upgrade. Just the 2 goals and 3 assists last night. I picked him up already for the Championship squad so hopefully he gets a boost.

[Raoul Duke]

Darmian actually looks pretty tidy? 5* WF means you can move him across and push up Acuna/Davies etc.

Also, that Silver Star is of great help for team building

[thommo]

Darmian looks great and with an upgrade he will be one of the top RBs in the game, surely. Tempted to do both as Muriel is usually an overpowered beast too.

[Danny]

100% doing Darmian. Probably pass on Muriel because I dont see him as enough of an improvement over Osihmen to spend coins on him.

[thommo]

I didn't like Osimhen that much, so I've been using the WW Pandev up front with wingers, and he was class in the most recent WL. If I do the Muriel I'd have to go back to 2 up top and maybe bench HL Felipe Anderson.

[Raoul Duke]

Yeah, don't think Muriel offers anything you can't get from buying Dybala or Arnautovic for basically discard.

Darmian could be great as a stay back RB. Also can replace AWB in the Utd P&P

[Danny]

Modeste in. Not sure I can fit him in but had to do it.

Gameplay felt terrible. Thankful I dont have any rivals left tonight.

[Danny]

Sterling POTM and FB Gundogan (up to a 90) coming apparently.

[Danny]

Toggle Spoiler

Modest into the team, sub off the chem player at the start and then only one player off chem. Would work out into nice 4231 (Dennis behind Modest) or 442 with them together.

Or just French Prem Winger (74 Mbeumo) and Nteka is on 8 and it works.

[Raoul Duke]

Talisca upgraded

[Danny]

Andre Silva too, still shit mind.

IF Sanchez from my Elite rivals player pick. I then got Suarez and De Jong in my packs along with a few other boards.

[thommo]

Nice, I did both of those SBCs when I had the trial. Talisca can actually play, whilst Silva is now even better for an SBC.

[Danny]

Pato looks decent. Coming in around 160k.
