Flashback to last years PTG card.
Flashback to last years PTG card.
I see the POTM Mbappe 2.0 dream has died.
La Liga team looks nuts. The tokens can be redeemed from tomorrow and icon swaps renews on Monday. Could be worth getting the 84x pack for La Liga.
I was thinking of popping one of those for La Liga but it would take a serious set of pulls to be worth it.
Did the 84+ double and got Neuer and then took him into the Bundes cup. He saved my ass with some outstanding saves in the 3rd game. My opponent had an xG of 6.2 and he only scored 1.
Gave me 3/3, but unfortunately nothing from all of the resulting packs, bar the Saudi TOTS Keeper. I then took what I had and sent TOTS Griffo and Kostic into the SBCs for Gvardiol. Those are comfortably the two worst TOTS I've used so far and I never want to see either again.
Was that the green one with the 5/5? If so I need him in my life.Originally Posted by Danny
I'm mostly saving my Swaps fodder for Ultimate TOTS or whatever it's called. Will rip it all then but maybe one of the smaller packs for La Liga
Da Costas upgrade has hit and oh my.
What I did trial was bringing him off the bench as a main CDM and letting Kimmich get forward. It's been working amazingly well as he's just so big strong and fast. His only weakness is his shooting isn't amazing, but if you're starting him you could put like a Gladiator on him and it'll be grand.
He looks insane.
Flashback Isco. Very pricey.
With new swaps coming soon I think I am going to do the following for the rest of TOTS
85 x 20 Ultimate TOTS
84 x 25 Ultimate TOTS
83 x 25 La Liga TOTS
82 x 25 Ligue 1 TOTS
Dupe Alisson in my prem pack. Another segment of Cantona down. 3 to go.
How fucking good is this Canales card? Looks outrageous. Acuna looks mega too, just a shame he's 4/3
Second week in a row we've had an amazing free card in Ansu Fati. Isco links in well and looks very good too, but average body type beware.
As for the La Liga team, wow. Either prices are crazy, or people just didnt care about La Liga so the cards are rarer. If you get anyone not on the bench listed on FUTBIN you've done really well, because they all look amazing. Though I see a lot of De Thomas and Munain in everyones future.
What's everyones plan for the TOTS Swaps?
Did the Prem and got Alisson and will do the 84 during Ultimate. Shifting an icon swaps pack into this week.
Canales being that cheap is mad
Seems as if he's the Bruno of this team. Mega value for coin, but not meta enough for some. I suspect he will prop up a lot of the shit red picks.
The Icons are out for me for the TOTS Swaps. The EPL 1 of 3 also leaves you screwed if you dont get a good option in there because of the cost. Videos I've seen of openings also show it's just the red picks from that WL over again in terms of luck. I've not seen one without Rodri/Rice in it yet.
The 84x 25 looks great, but to get it and the EPL guarantee you need to buy the pack, which has gone up yet again to 100k. That's very steep.
I threw a few points on. Will probably open a big pack during ultimate. Or get impatient and open a pack tomorrow
Agree on Canales. Wouldn’t be sad to pack him.
Also 88s are DOWN.
Christ. Kroos at 17k seems mad.
Do I really want to dive into that again…
EDIT: Better investments might be Greaseman or Bisquits. Both are relevant to the TOTS out and the La Liga guarantee will spike 85/6's slightly. Could make 3k per card if you can hold til Wednesday.

No La Liga cup this week, instead we get draft frenzy. You get a token for free and another for wins 1 and 5 I believe.
I have 8 stacked up as I just havent used them.
Nice to see they boosted the players available too.
I misread a little too, there's a mix of "win x amount" and "play x amount"
Good to see, but it's gonna get pricey if you keep losing in round 1...
There is that SBC to get them quite cheap.
Also I think you can do it offline too. So its even easier.
Rodri from my EPL player. I didn’t have him after submitting him to an SBC but ffs.
Apparently single player rewards are the same no matter the level. Beginner it is.
Will be a nice club stock ahead of ultimate upgrade packs.
Yeah if that's true, there's no point in playing online. There's 3 free tokens for playing and then 3 in the repeatable SBC. So you should only really need to pay for one entry at the end.
My luck has turned big time in those packs that state possible Main league/Shit league player. All 3 of the loan packs in the past two weeks have given me a useless shit leaguer and first last week and now this weeks Squad Battles red has given me one from the shit league too.
I'm back up to 13 TOTS Swap tokens. I believe we're due one last one(Liga NOS upgrade?) that isn't in the store pack and that will leave me a decision. Either I put all of my eggs into the 1 of 3 pick without spending anything more. Or I can see the 100k as an investment. There's the small chance of a TOTS in that pack but then there's a further chance in the 84+ pack. Even if nothing comes out of those, then I have the fodder to complete someone like Isco, or whatever else may come out in the meantime.
Yeah I got Red Bannan.
I then got Varane and a couple of boards from the packs.
Sarabia can be combined with draft with the right luck/player selection. Since I am doing it on beginner I will be doing my best to make that happen
You can combine Navas and Sarabia if you use a mix of the Iberian crew as well
Genius!
First draft after I got ONE NOS player
I'll one-up you.
Bought the 100k pack and committed to the 84+ x 25. I'd been waiting for Liga NOS in packs so when I got a TOTS it'd at least be linkable easily.
Only problem is there wasn't a singe TOTS in there...
Jesus
That is savage. They seem to either be great or atrocious
Managed to get Canales from the draft win pick.
Not unhappy with that at all.
I thought at least if I miss a La Liga one a Liga NOS card would be great!
Still, I went and took my frustrations out on people in weekend league. Did an 8-2 Qualy run and then smacked people left right and centre and am 10-0 in finals. Played the best stuff I have really.
Very aware the final 10 games will be hell now, but I only need to win one.
I havent yet added anyone or done any SBCs from La Liga. I have an idea of using Spaniards to link in Isco, Fati and Canales in the triangle of doom in the 4-3-2-1, but then I need to make sure it's all balanced.
What I have done though is put in Sule, Da Costa, Diaby and Neuer into the starting 11. It doesnt feel right at times but it seems to be working.
EDIT: Bah, the run ends at 11 wins. Got dicked on by someone far better than me. 3-0 down without really touching the ball 30 mins in. I'll do the final 8 tomorrow. Not sure I really care if I get the 3 wins or not atm.

Finished on 16-4 in the end, which gives me rank 3 and my best finish yet. Basically played golden goal tonight and it seemed to work well.
Red pick 1: Courtois, De Thomas, Munain, Acuna
Red pick 2: Fekir, Courtois, Munain, Canales.
Surprised I wasn't completely shat on with those. I have no real way on linking Acuna in as it is now, but I went for value on that pick as he's about as much as the other 3 comined.
La Liga TOTS pack: Canales, Munain, De Thomas.
I knew the gig was up when I saw the Spain flag(I'd forgotton Pedri was in it). A bit meh that an actual good finish for once wasn't overly rewarded, but I think it was Yev who said that they seem to be more than willing to chuck out these lower rated TOTS but the actual useful ones are rare as anything.
Been rinsing cards into the upgrades and got both TOTS keepers.
Means my tradeable numbers up MATS can go.
Which have you been doing? I did about 10 of the La Liga ones but best I got was an 84 in two of them, the rest not even boards. First PP I did had a dupe De Thomas, but then the rest have been a mix of 81-83.
I've got bugger all from the La Liga TOTS so far. Only one I have is that Parejo objective and he is absolute bobbins.
Indeed. That De Thomas is the only one I've packed that wasn't a guarantee.
Onto the Icon swaps grind tonight. I have the ability to get 10 tokens.
It's either:
PIM Best + 82+ x 25
PIM Dalglish + 83+ x 25 and 82+ x 25
93+ Moments + 83+ x 25.
Looking at that, I'm pretty sure the last option is probably the worst. There's always that chance your luck is in, but of the 40 odd Icons available in that pack, only a quarter of them are worth more than the best on offer.
Of the other two, I'm aware Best is the better player to have in game, but the other option could be better value overall. It's also hard to say no to Kenny as a Liverpool fan.
Do you think you would actually use either?
Got lucky getting 3 NOS players in draft this morning so letting that run in the background.
Also saved Trent from the gulag. Again. Need to decide what to do with him.
Best would absolutely make the first team. Kenny would also play right now, though would be the more likely of the two to sit out.
I was expecting NO to both and I was going to say Kenny because Liverpool
NOS pack is out for an 84 rated squad.
Nah I'd definitely get use out of both. Also your Trent may have some use tomorrow. There's supposedly a CL Final Showdown coming of Fabinho v Rodrygo.I was expecting NO to both and I was going to say Kenny because Liverpool
Also whoever put the crossing goals requirement in the Ligue 1 token is evil. Everyone knows what your game is and will stop you just to spite you.
That and outside the box. Annoying as hell.
Thankfully the online ones are all done.
One guy triple paused me after he scored first and hacked me down last man when through afterwards. Once I went 3-1 up he sent me a message that said "come 1v1 my main team, you'll see what I'm going to do to you, you're smart"
After that he rubber banded his left stick. Unfortunately for him it was facing his own goal. Managed to force 3 own goals on him and he forfeit. Sent message back "Looks like I'm smarter than you then doesn't it"
I didn't mind the crossing objectives last time - Icardi is mega at heading for a smaller guy. Just run down the wing with Neymar/Gelson and hump it into him
They've just released tonights content. An 84+ 1 of 3 La Liga pick and a TOTS Aspas.
Llorente the best card out of my 84+. I'm just not getting a TOTS here, am I?
As I'm now done with the new bunch of La Liga guys I'll give a bit of a verdict as they don't seem to exist in packs.
RDT: Put every single one of these you get into an SBC. Terrible.
Munain: Great for the price. Not a big name but would use him again.
Militao(loan): Very fast and agile, but that lean body type does him few favours.
Acuna: Amazing, but suffers from Cancelo syndrome in that he can play anywhere on the park. I think best as a CDM.
Fekir: Good, but can feel heavy due to the body type. This does however sometimes let you muscle people off the ball. So it's a trade off.
Canales: He's the one I'd want as a CAM. Average height and lean body type don't lend him well to out and out defensive work, but having it that high on a CAM can be great if you do some pressing with him. His passing is close to perfect too.
Ugh. Double trolled. Got a TOTS walkout from the draft packs and it was Brazilian… was the Porto guy.
Then turned in the 84+ pick and got Kroos. Turned that into the Liga NOS pack and got a Uruguayan!… it was Coates.
For fucks sake.
