    They took 100 players who had played well, but not yet received TOTW card.

    There was then a vote for the top 24.

    Cheers.

    Haven't done the SBC yet, but I will do. Just finishing off some Squad Battles in the hope of securing Elite 2. I really should do it, but just lost a game from 3-0 up. My heart's not really in it due to not playing that many games this week so it's a serious grind.

    Yeah, he seems like a nice well rounded player off the bench.

    I havent done it, there arent too many players who would fit into my side, for that cheap though I probably will.

    I see the big 5/6 SBC's I have left in the EPL one have dropped in price a bit. May finish that tonight too as a result.

    This one is about 10k though. Swap the Free TOTS you got (84 rated) for a guaranteed 87+

    EDIT:

    According to someone on reddit

    "You can do the SBC with 9x 81 and 1x 82 and Akinfenwa I think. I did something like that. No more than 1 82 needed"

    No but if you plan on doing any other SBC (Icon etc) a guaranteed +3 minimum is probably worth 10k.

    Threw this together from players in the club. Bought Greaseman and PTG Carvahal for about 80k combined.

    Edit: Azpi is a 7 game loan I never used.

    I really like that Lopez off the bench in SB. However he seems relatively hard to link properly into a team. Plus the chances of one of those top cards is hard to turn down.

    I did the community SBC but I can't open the pack as my unassigned pile is full of 83s and 84s. Hoping for Javi Martinez

    He costs 40k now.

    More likely, I'll see what my SB rewards bring. They drop straight after the end of the weeks cycle so I'll have them when I get back from work on Monday. If I get a bad ELF TOTS card I'll use that. If not, I'll use the players from the packs to fill out and put Lopez in.

    Hit Elite 2 with a game to spare, so I'm going for Akinfenwa before I do the SBC.

    Sean McConville, Ryan Seager, Jodi Jones, your club needs you!

    My mistake, I thought it gave you a 79 rated version and the graphic was just wrong. What a shit reward that is then.

    In other news. SEAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4-0 win on Professional with Seager grabbing a hat-trick and McConville netting one. At that run rate, two more games from 1 am should do it. Most fun I've had on FIFA all weekend.

    That Akinfenwa reward is so crap I'd happily chuck him into the EFL TotS SBC if he does work.

    Purposefully take games to pens. Apparently each pen you score counts as a goal too.

    Cheers for the heads up.

    I've opened a disgusting amount of bronze packs today and nothing so far on the TotS front.

    On the plus side I do now have over 400 bronzes to whack into the upgrade SBC's and while I haven't broken even from doing it I don't think I've lost that many coins.

    I just built it with concepts. 64 Akinfenwa DOES work. 9 x 81, 1 x 82 and Akinfenwa does the trick.

    This is kind of fun. Griezmann gets bullied but scores goals. Iniesta is sadly ineffectual. I have ended up taking off Iniesta and Lopez and playing the second half with Rashford and Sessegnon outside of Griezmann.

    Its such a ponderous midfield

    Also Carvahal is crap. I need him to score or set up a goal so I can sell him.

    You'd be better off switching Martinez in game to CB.

    https://www.futbin.com/18/player/188...m=10&schem=100

    He looks like a monster there and his lack of pace wont be shown up at all.

    Not a bad shout, just have to figure out who to play at the base of the diamond. That is without going into icon territory as this is a fuck about team I'll get bored of in a week.

    8-0 win in the first of today's squad battles with 7 league two goals and that's Akinfenwa.

    My SB rewards were dogshit, with an 81 player the highest reward.

    Opened my SB rewards and got bobbins. Maybe about 200k now after all is sold, but did get 5 or 6 fitness cards. Used the players gained and Akinfenwa to fill out the most consistent SBC.

    Ended up pulling Giovinco. High rated which is good and also looks a fantastic CAM. Only problem is linking him up is a bit tough. You essentially have to go through Alessandrini RF and then use an Italian LF, or use an all Italian front half of the team.

    Now I'm looking to build a team to take on the DKT. I'd quite like that TOTS Callejon.

    Use Giovinco as a sub if you cant fit him in. One of the worst things to do in my opinion, is trying to fit players you have into a system by trying to link him to plays you don't want to play with.

    How good is standard Pogba this year? I can add him, Bailly and Valencia to the right side of my defence. It would take up half of my coins though.

    I purchased Pogba (87) a couple of days ago and ended up selling him after 15 or so games, I didn't notice too much difference from my 85 Fernandinho.

    Bailly and Valencia are solid. I have tried every standard Premiership CB and Bailly is still my favourite, wouldn't mind trying the 84 Kolasinic.

    I forwent him in favour of saving some coin and built this:



    I still have 115k left for now.

    I took it into the DKT to see how things were and my god everyone has had a lot of coins this year it seems. On my 3rd attempt I went 1-0 up in the semi-final through a bicycle kick from a corner. I double tapped my xbox button to record it(it's what you did on 17) as it was awesome. Well apparently that disconnects you from the game instantly. Fuming.

    Luckily took it on my 4th attempt. Managed to come back from 4-2 down in the 85th of the semi-final and nick it in extra time. This guy had at least 6 prime icons too.

    After fudging my team to get Alex Sandro in, I can't say I noticed too much of anything more than blind luck in defence. As my games finished 3-0(rage quit), 7-6, 5-4 and 7-5.
    Callejon looks a good face card, but the weak foot and skill moves kill him a bit. Another high rated card for SBCs though.

    Best player I got in packs was Ozil (who I used in the 89) and Bamba TOTS.

    Had to jiggle a bit to get Gullit in and I'm going with this for now:



    Petit will play at CDM, De Bruyne at CAM and Rabiot/Gullit as the CM's.

    I'm going to try and save up for Kante TOTY but I might have to settle for his TOTS when it comes out.

    Edit: Was about to try it in a quick match before bed and server shat itself after 6 in game minutes.

    Managed to get in.

    Gullit is bloody bonkers. He scored two including a proper thunderbolt and was pretty much everywhere.

    I need to get used to Petit at CDM as he's not as good as Vieira as he pushes up too much, I might bring Baby Vieira in if it causes too many issues.

    Rabiot looks like a steal for 200k on paper but I just couldn't get him. I'm hoping that's just that game as he looks like he could be fun.

    FIFA 18 having a World Cup mode patched into the game for free put into stark realization how much money they're making from FUT. They must have sold at least a million copies of that on each release, with a incredibly conservative $25 take thats 25 million with minimal development time/cost left on the table, just to ensure that the playerbase isn't split and card sales keep going. A good 20 million dollar profit not being worth it is just insane.

    edit: Jesus Christ never google stuff you don't want to know the answer to.

    Triple A games are more profitable than movies, which always seems a bit bonkers.

    Shame they can't spare a single dev team to make Career Mode less bobbins.

    Not too shabby but I need to tweak it.

    Petit is great as a CM but I can't use him at CDM as he's always pushing up. Rabiot is shit, he looks like he's a monster on paper but he's so sluggish.

    What's your side look like now Mahow?

    Wouldn't mind an Icon or two in my team, but I'd need a big pack pull for that.
