That was immense.
That was immense.
Sorted through my silvers, listed loads and made 28 common gold upgrade packs.
Can’t open those until I’ve cleared the club of golds and I think I have about 900 to put into upgrade packs.
I’ll do that tomorrow night now, which should take me to over 200 packs for Saturday’s opening.
Nep’s taking about it now, but there’s definitely something to be said about clearing your club out for toty and going again from there. I think it’ll be the norm for most going forward.
He's just raised a good point in stream. Given the state of the boosts for the TOTY cards, if you have a fair amount of coins saved and your team is already set, then you might as well pump everything into this as come Monday at 6:01pm, it's essentially grinding towards TOTS.
Don't sell your team, but throw everything in. You may well end up getting nothing out of it, but these are the best cards there will be in the game. If you spend 2 million and get one that isn't De Gea or Marcelo you've technically won with all the other shit you can do with what comes out of the packs. If you fail, you fail but then there's not likely to be anything until TOTS and you still have your team that you're happy with.
@Yevrah great minds think alike.
Yep, that’s the plan. I’d fucking love to pack a blue. Considering using my golds to build La Liga packs exclusively from this point, both the 25k and 7.5k packs.
All things considered I’ll probably buy Mbappe anyway and would take any of the La Liga players over most of the rest. Well, bar Ronaldo, but it’s pointless trying for him.
Plan is Keane to Ballack, then everything back into the upgrades until I can't carry on. The exception being if it is Salah/Son that wins POTM.
EDIT:
If I'm right, the most efficient method for this would be to get yourself 11 rares, get the first pack open, then take the 3 rares into the club and take the other 9 non-rare into the standard gold upgrade. Buy the 2 you are missing and then open up. You get the teeny chance of a pull here(I got Ramos from one last week) but will mostly get 2 trash rare.
You now have 5 rares, so go and buy 6. Submit, open the pack, rinse repeat.
Consensus seems to be to cut out the 7.5k ones completely.

It depends. With the 7.5k packs you have a chance to pull 2 (or even 3) rare players anyway, plus consumables and other goodies and, perhaps most importantly, you’re receiving from a pool of players exclusively from the league you want the TotY from.
With the consumables etc. my gut would be that the 7.5k packs offer better value than the two player upgrade packs, but I suppose it depends on which you’re more likely to pack a higher rated player or icon from.
If it was the French league I’d say the 7.5k packs as that league is awash with silvers, but as it’s La Liga I’d say it’s debatable and see your point.
Where I have got to is that I think I’ll give myself the best chance of packing a toty if I stick to one league in the first instance then move on if I somehow am lucky enough y get one, which is a slightly different point to the above, but does make me slightly regret splitting the 20 premium upgrade packs I’ve crafted so far between La Liga and the EPL.
Good to see prices have fallen overnight, which is very promising for later. If I sell RTTF Telles and Renato Sanches I’ll have enough now to buy Mbappe and Marcelo.
I’ll obviously hold fire to see what I pack, but it does mean anything I do pack is a bonus and I’ll be recycling the packs until all the players are gone.
Some advice on crossing.

And here's the table of the number of rares etc in each league.

If Neymar is in I think that's almost confirmed that I'll go La Liga Premium packs and Ligue 1 7.5k packs.

I have serious suspicions that this scumbag community will vote Pogba, but I'm also waiting on the 12th man before I decide where to go.
At present La Liga looks worth it with fewer rare golds being available. Crazy to think if it is Neymar there will only be 6 walkouts and 2 of those are TOTY cards.
Still no sign of POTM which worries me. I hope they aren't leaving it til Monday.
Are you building a fuck load of packs too then?
I'm going to have to now.
EDIT: Holy shit the thing needs 12 TOTW players!

Really wish I hadn't redeemed my WL yesterday.
Haven't played yet because I can't be arsed, hopefully later today I'll feel more up to it and I can scrape Silver 1.
I would have done the VVD, but those 14IFs scare me. I bought his SIF card for 349k via web app instead. It dropped 50k in 15 minutes.
Have they patched the position change madness yet?
500k to do it apparently.
I forgot to count one of the challenges!
Still a lot cheaper than the initial holy shit moment suggested. I'd advise people do it too. With a winter upgrade he'll go up to 90 or 91 rated. Comes in at a nice price point between his standard and his TOTY card too.
If I pack TOTY De Gea (I won't) I'd consider it, but other than that I can't fit him into my team for chemistry reasons as I'm set on having Marcelo and Dani Alves marauding the wings.
I'm really, really hoping this means Salah will be the 12th man.
I could fit this Van Dijk into my team and then be about the price of TOTY De Gea if I were to change my plan up.
I could get him in my team for RTTF Sanchez. Would cost me 100k more per Futbin.
Not sure it’s worth it.
If you've used the store name change and the one in starter objectives then you'll have to wait until FIFA20 now, assuming you can't contact EA and ask them to do it.
Talking of Van Dijk, I see Castro's now packed his TOTY twice untradeable.
I'm itching to get these packs finished and crack on with the opening in the morning.
The price of his 87 2IF has absolutely died as well. Down 110k since 3pm. Considering that could well go up to 89 rated itself, that wouldn't be a bad hold.
I've seen many horror stories of people doing these packs for days and getting nothing, so I dread it a little.
Did MM's and TOTY Challenges today as I was too drunk last night.
Got another Prime Butragueno
Ban him.
Ban him now.
I'd start opening upgrade packs if I were you Merse....
Ive never heard of that Butragueno player. Images, Wiki. Ive read up about him and I have no idea who the fuck he is. He is the only legend in the game I have zero experience about.
Can people on your friends list still gift you things? Might be worth a try if so.
Good shout, that might work.
Are you on Xbox Sincere? I still have mine left and you're welcome to that if so.
Leaks are looking like Neymar won.
No, I'm on PS4. I can get the friends list to gift me.
Marcelo and Van Dijk IN.
Sorry chaps.
If it's any consolation he sold for 200k less than the first one I packed. 1.43m coins on their way though, which was nice as I'd spent 1.015m on TOTY Marcelo precisely 10 minutes previous to that. Who's very, very good.
Having a little dilemma now. Get TOTY Varane and keep that Marcelo, re-instating Courtois in goal and booting Big Sol to the B Team?
Or sell MArcelo and another million coins worth of players and buy TOTY Mbappe?
I'd love Modric, but with the way I swap around Koke and Griezmann, that's not going to work. I may just hang on for this Bale to come out by some means and look to whack him on the left, selling IF Griezmann and then go for Modric.
Flashback Zlatan, The Inter RB I can't spell, nominee and confirmed Neymar.
I'm not angry with those last 2, I'm just disappointed.
Zlatan is cool and I just picked up one of his gold card for the Sweden bit of the SBC.
The Inter RB is largely pointless for me and I'm not fucking around scoring x goals with y wanker again unless it's truly worth it.
Neymar makes it an interesting choice with which upgrade packs to go with.
Zlatan's 200k, still has atrocious balance and is a pain to link, so I think I might pass after all.
Okay now I just don't know what to do. Got absolutely fuck all I wanted from these 2 days.
Just stuck up a Ryan Fraser IF who went for 23.5k. I believe that's double what he was going for yesterday.
Another awful Friday. 3-4, three of which were losses to truly awful players, but I just cannot defend today, and I had to get rid of Casillas. He's shite, unfortunately.
Was it his height on finesse shots?
The price of golds have shot through the roof due to those TOTY SBC's, which makes me not want to put them into upgrades. Grrr.
3-2 although I should really be 4-1.
Marcelo is genuinely great, his crossing is such a great weapon.
Said fuck it and carried on with the Keane into Ballack plan. Keane is done, but I got absolutely nothing from the packs. Not a single walkout. That has fucked me over a little as now I'm short of the money estimated needed for Ballack.
I'll scrimp and save it from somewhere but this entire TOTY promo has been a disaster.
Up to 150 packs now (with 30 common gold upgrade ones included still to convert) and only 1,000 more players in the club to go through.
The new SBC's have made this much more annoying as previously the plan was to whack all the players in without even checking (as they were all going for buttons), which I'm loathed to do now as some are selling for 1.5k+.
Starting to feel like a part time job and I've had enough for tonight. I'll still be opening tomorrow, but it'll be the afternoon now and will probably go long into the night.
Marcelo and Mbappe have gone up by 300k combined from earlier as well, so I may just buy them when they hit a combined 4.5m again.
