I have a front 4 of:
Ginola, UCL Bernado, POTM Mbappe
Ronaldo
Its good but I dont think I could add another tall player without losing that wiggle players like Bernado have.
I am also still holding a massive stack of Djiku's. Coming down into the 18k range to shift them. Still around 5k pre tax profit over all so worth it.
Nice stack of objectives out.
Oxlade RTTF out. His usual over priced card.
Beckham dream appears to be dead with the end of Icon SBC.
The price of that Ox card. Jeez.
Rumours of Icon Swaps 3 coming on Monday which I cant help but think is very soon. It would however fill up a relatively dead week. I'm hoping we also get some confirmation over the next few days or how TOTS rewards will be set up.
I also voted for TOTS. I think you'll agree with my selections:
I just hope the Trent we get actually has reasonable pace. They always seem to do him dirty on it. I'm also convinced Luis Diaz will be an SBC during either community or EPL TOTS.
You can't put him in the EPL team, but he also can't go in the Liga NOS one because he's changed clubs, but he's still had a TOTS card worthy season. He's also too good to be an objective card and would likely prove a popular SBC.
I haven’t done my vote yet. It might be slightly different
Diaz has to get something. Can’t remember what they did for Bruno when he moved in a similar circumstances.
They did leak some packs last week. 20 x 84 and 20 x 85 if I remember rightly.
91+ Moments midfielder or attacker.
93+ Moments
94+ Moments also in the code.
I can't help but feel the latter two are going to be most if not all of your tokens. Likely wont be getting those until the end of May/start of June then. Very interested to see which players they put in. They really should all be moments cards now.
Nepenthez' latest video being a STATE OF THE GAME video I thought was going to be bad, but he makes a very solid point. EA have juiced everything up so much that, what really are TOTS going to be?
If we assume the voting makes any difference at all, surely Lacazette is getting a card on Friday. He literally only got a 93 rated card last week. So now they're in a corner. They can make his TOTS 93 or lower, but then, what's the point of it? The only other way is to boost him to say a 95 or 96 card rating. Now all of a sudden, all other TOTS cards are going to have to jump up to that step in the power curve in order to compensate. How are they going to get around this?
Personal opinion is divided two ways. Either they just wont give anyone who recently got a decent promo card a TOTS. Or and I think this is more likely. They will juice them up, but we might even only see now 11 players per league, plus a few SBCs. They'll also be bastards to pack and WL rewards will change to make them in red picks like 14+ wins to get one guaranteed.
Yeah they are killing themselves here. Everything is getting condensed and the stupid cards are coming earlier and earlier to be relevant.
Players need like a -5 at the beginning of the game if this is the go forward.
They could do a similarly-rated Lacazette card but change position to a RF or something. But if feels like there's no way it doesn't end up with everyone having 99 for everything by endgame
That's what happened last year by the summer heat promo. Only this year it seems to be that we're getting there a lot faster.
Btw - the league SBCs for a few leagues are ending soon - check and finish up any outstanding ones you have half-completed
There is a token stream up, but its been on for 4 hours now.
Managed to just about squeeze in the time for the token. Great shout.
Ramsey RTTF out. 89 rated for and 83 + IF Squad. Decent value and the card looks very nice.
Didnt get on Yesteday so the 4k jump in IF Djiku prices was appreciated this morning. Had 37 listed as like 22k and sold half.
Will finish selling those today for a nice 9k profit per card on those last few.
I got a load of kits and stuff for keeping it on too. That's also my 4th token so 100k pack for next week.
That's been a great investment for you for what, a 2/3 week hold? Speaking of which, GG anyone who bought Gelson Martins 2 hours ago. He's assisted in his 3rd game so he's getting +2 and has gone up 150k in that time.
I was looking at TOTS potential investments, but historically fodder drops way down from here until when TOTS actually hits. Maybe best holding off, but it looks like TOTWs are way up atm so I'm going on to sell mine off.
I won’t be dabbling in too many investments (unless TOTW hit close to discard) for the next week or so.
Longer term EFL TOTS is huge usually. Cards come out, are shit and hit close to discard. We then need TOTS for the guaranteed packs and they fly
Look at these price graphs
https://www.futbin.com/21/player/29533/paul-mullin
https://www.futbin.com/21/player/29532/jorge-grant
If you can get in at the lower prices ~14k it’s practically guaranteed coin.
Wow both of those guys pretty much double in price inside a week. Definitely something I'll be looking at, because the only two TOTS that really impact my team as is, are Ligue 1 and Serie A and they're the last two.
I sold off all the low rated TOTW cards before for 23k a pop. Nicely up to 1.14m now with the 84+ rated guys I have left currently totalling 150k more after tax. Currently there's only 1 and a half pages of players on FUTBIN that I couldn't afford to bring in.
I'd quite like to work my way up over 2m if I can get on a good investment. Di Natales new card is probably the one that'd make most sense for me to shell out on currently. Obviously he is expensive though.
I might jump back on just for that and spunk the 2m coins I have sat there on them.
I've picked up a few cheaper 84-86 IFs - with no supply as (everyone's holding packs) they should go up as the SBCs continue to come out
Trade your way to PIM R9?Originally Posted by Yevrah
Simon scored the 4th in a 5-3 win for Nantes today. Lovely +2 fodder.
Caliguri was also brought down for the Augsburg penalty today. Will have to see if EA count that.
Usually that only counts in fantasy football, but EA make the rules on that one.
Yeah. Fingers crossed they go with that.
Icon player pick 1 of 3 out for dirt cheap. 84, 2 x 85 and 86. The catch is, prime Icons only.
I did the Cantona loan just to see. 3 goals and 2 assists before a rage quit in his first game. At CAM behind Ronaldo.
Unreal front 4 with them two POTM Mbappe and Ginola.
Tonali scored
I’d just taken him out of the team to give Lahms loan a run out as well.
I’m 9-0 in champs, but hit a wall of tired and am up for 5am for work. I think if I remember I’ll get on and start gifting wins to get me to the 45 point mark or whatever it is. Not overly bothered about this weekend.
Due to rewards being available as soon as you finish your games, I don’t think we see red TOTS picks this coming weekend, but on almost a weeks delay.
What did you think to Lahm?
4 wins in rivals done. I have 43 games to play before Thursday.
I am going to miss him when I replace him with the PIM. 122 Goals and 115 Assists in 473 games from RAM and now CDM.
5 goals and 5 assists in 4 games for Cantona. Including the game you see above where I got a RQ at 3-0 after 20 mins (1 goal for Cantona)
I like him a lot. I usually play Tonali in his place, so he's my comparison, but Lahm definitely feels like he covers the ground better. Also feels a lot more rapid off the mark. I guess that might be his amazing reactions?
I only actually got 3 and a bit games from the 5 loan, due to early RQs. But he got a goal and an assist. He should have had more assists but the amount of his corners that were clawed onto bar or post was silly.
Feels much more able to change direction very quickly too. For example, sprinting with say, Vinicius Jr, I'll feel like a skill move or cut in/outside is coming, but often Tonali will run too far by it. Lahm seemed to stop as quick as the attack would.
The only drawback really is his height. I conceded a goal from him being last man back and going shoulder to shoulder with someone. I'm confident Tonali would have won that ball, but Lahm was pushed off it.
Overall I'm completing the main card off the back of this. He'll likely be usurped in TOTS, but as mentioned before we are in almost unchartered waters with whats coming and I've to wait over a month before my relevant TOTS hits anyway.
Woke before my alarm this morning so got on to nab the two wins I needed. I was playing GG but I did twice go 2-0 up for my opponent to come back and beat me. Ended up with 7 games to give away. Funnily enough I ran into two other people giving away wins while doing this. First time in 4 weeks that too.
One gave me the win and the other started playing, but I cba with bronze v bronze off chem shit weekend league game at 5 am.
No Ronny for me in the end, but did get red Martinez.
I felt the same way. I went from Kante to him so the biggest difference was the ability on the ball.
I think TOTS will bring in Cantona and Lahm for me. Unless I pack some absolute worldies.
Thats a nice red. Good for something higher level at somepoint.
What did surprise me was how much better he felt like he got about the place, despite him and Tonali being very similar in some stats. Perhaps it's the H/H. I'm definitely doing him.
As mentioned before Cantona looks amazing, but I don't think I can as I reckon I'd end up stuck with him and Mbappe up top for good.
Icon swaps 3 confirmed as coming tonight. Leaks don't seem to know the players involved yet either. I've seen one suggest PIM Seedorf as the lowest option, PIM Eto'o as the middle tier player and PIM Ronaldinho as the top option. I really can't see that though. That's far too generous.
Dinho would be mad.
Also Sheriff really did fall off.
I hope they give us players that don't just make it an easy fodder pack choice.
Tbf to Sheriff if there's not a promo he cant leak players.
Yeah Seedorf and Etoo are pointless. Dinho could make it a difficult call
Dinho would be perfect for my team

Assuming FUTBIN is right.
10 for fodder + Carlos looking decent.

17 tokens for PIM Gullit
Not even PIM.
Unfortunately it is "only" prime Gullit.
They've really done well with the player selection though.
I feel like this is better than normal for options too. I like it a lot.
Ah I didn't see that. Still kinda tempted. Or go for Matthaus
This is the best swaps they've ever done imo.
Top class players and cult heroes included and you can get multiple of. Also lots for the pack takers too.
Thinking a bit more - with the quality of the Icon SBCs out as well as potential for TOTS, I'm now thinking go full fodder and just get Cantona/Vieira
The only real tempter, player wise, for me is Matthaus.
Carlos is going to be more of a second thought after fodder. I have his prime already and I am not sure the PIM is even worth it over Mendes.
We need that guy on reddit to the sheet.
Looks like a very solid option but do you miss big fodder packs.
Moments VDS 5
93+ Moments 6
85 x 20 5
83 x 25 2
Miss these:
84 x 25 3
82 x 25 1
Yeah, maybe sacrificing the cheapest fodder pack for Carlos (so I can pair him and Cafu up) would be cool
I've been pretty sporadic with gameplay over the past 2-3 weeks but I'll be back full send for TOTS.
Fulham P+P is calling me - Best and VDS with some fodder packs would be brilliant.
I think of the players, Matthaus is the only one that is maybe "bad" value wise. Gullit may need a full send, but even that prime is 2.6m still at the time of typing. He's still the best CM in the game and it gives everyone a chance at the Gullit experience. As someone who has never used him, that is a big temptation.
However value wise, Best is incredible. He has perhaps the 2nd best dribbling on the game behind Messi and you could get him within the week. VDS, cheap as chips as is Carlos really. He's not the most meta LB available these days but it's Bobby fucking Carlos.
King Kenny also 7 tokens is going to be of great temptation to all Liverpool fans and he actually has a cracking card with that 5* WF.
Eto'o is perhaps going to be the main one overlooked here. 11 is maybe a bit rich for him, with the combo of other things available.
Prices have moved since, but I think at 6, all players bar VDS were 1m or more.
Best Combinations IMO
Carlos & 85, 84 & 83 (18)
93+ & 85, 84 & 83 (18)
Kenny & 85, 84, 83 & 82 (17)
VDS & 85, 84, 83 & 82 (16)
