I use FUT.gg mostly
Futwiz also
I think FUTWIZ allows helps work out custom ones but I do it manually
If all goes to plan I should end up with a beefy Shoretire.
My twitter timeline has brought my attention to the free Messi situation. Genuinely don't know how EA get out of this one. The only 2 'fair' solutions are never going to happen so they may have just borked the cycle.
Yep. You can’t take him away but like fuck they are giving him to everyone. Unless they do some sort of massive loan situation.
Did the hero pick to use dupes, normal McManaman, blue Berbatov and normal Pele. First two are dirt cheap so I took Pele even though he doesn’t get a sniff (not that many of them do)
Really want to get started on the TOTY Icon Best - he's the ultimate for a Fulham P&P. It's a huge commitment though and if I do it, it might be better to start crafting after TOTY is out of packs so the pack weight goes back to normal.
Either that or I just jump into Cafu and get him done instead.
I think they did the worst thing possible in taking the SBC away. You could have just left it and what will be will be. Now you've admitted there was a problem and problems require resolution.
Sure they could chuck out a 99 game loan version for everyone, but then those that got in, in time, still have Messi until the game is done.
If only i was online at 6pm. I rarely do these days.
I was working and I jumped on the mobile app at 18:20 assuming it would have been removed by then. As it wasn't I assumed they'd just leave it so I planned to do it when I got home.
Packed "normal" Ashely Cole. Skipped it as I thought it was a silver
England full backs the order of the day as I got Trent too.
Down to just a couple of big packs. So many inform picks with nothing to shout about.
I decided to start on Cafu. I'm just not going to get round to doing 16 squads for Best.
Had some fun last night going onto Rivals to Evo my 80 rated Carlos Vinicius. Absolutely demolishing sides with TOTYs, Eusebio, Zidane, Best - all with a big lump up top and 88 POTM Wirtz providing all the assists.
Cafu is mustard. So elegant on the ball.
I also fully endorse the Brazilian Conor Bradley.
Cafu is an auto tackle monster.
He'll struggle to get in the team ahead of 91 Timothy Castagne, but I'll see what I can do.
One segment from finishing Cafu too.
ST Hero evolution coming apparently. I have Berba, Francescoli and Cahill so somewhat interested.
If that's the case, I might need to snap up a Berbatov. I imagine it'll be one of the Evos priced at 100k+ though.
McManaman and Giuly from hero picks this morning.
Pele popped with McMananan but I have him and Keßler normal with Giuly but he was more expensive. Her UCL one looks very expensive
Right, one final push, presumably during the worst TOTY pack weight ever.

What happened to that squad screen where it shows all your cards at the bottom and you can scroll through them from left to ride. It has has filters above them? Let me try and grab a screenshot. I dont think ive seen it in this version.
It's in the transfer list Sincere.
Thats it. Thanks
Bernardo Silva. Quite intrigued to try him at left back and a nice chem boost for Bruno.
This game has descended into absolute farce in the last month or so.
Lovely stuff. How is he?
Felt good in a few games last night. I don’t think I would pay 3m for him though.
So it seems EA have said they aren't doing anything about the Messi situation. There will be no compensation for anyone because apparently only 0.7% of people got one.
I'm surprised they even said that. Funny that they're happy to disclose percentages of "less than 1%" more specifically when it works in their favour and you can bet your arse that 0.7% will be 0.7% of all people who've bought EAFC, whether they've played ultimate team or not. The actual % of active Ultimate Team users must have been 10%+.
Still gutted I didn't do the SBC when I had it on the web app.
Yeah, seething I didn't do it. Instead I ate dinner and watched Scrubs.
Not really sure I can be arsed playing the game much right now. New promo will be shit and every other team will have Messi up-front
Cafu is done. Alex Morgan might be the next SBC to do - I've heard good things about her card.
Still 200 packs sitting in my store. Recycling is a ballache.
Decided to do the icon pick as none of the other SBCs really interest me.
Thunder Struck Nesta
Base Cantona
Base Gerrard.
The price of the first two is a lot closer than I thought but I had to take Cantona.
In 4 qualifiers last night I didn’t see a single Messi. Only playing champs as I need to get a red evo to cheat the system otherwise I would be avoid the WL cesspit. I imagine I will start to run into him in the real thing.
I did it last night and got Puyol, VDS and another keeper. As I have Ederson and Cech I effectively swapped 33 reasonably rated cards for an 89.
And talking of bad calls, I have 491k coins on hand on the RTG and with a KDB already packed do I go BD in one of the store packs in the hope of getting a buzzer beater?
So the reason for the SBC for Messi being borked was that the game selects a league before the player in said league. The game is obviously coded in such a way as to more commonly give you a shitter. Problem is in the Saudi and MLS leagues there was only one card rated 86+. So if the game chose one of them for you, it was a guaranteed TOTY.
Kimmich looks pretty good value seeing as Bayern are against Lazio who are shite. Would expect them to come through that. Card looks alright as well.
Hero evo is a bit shit really.
Francescoli looks like he ends up nice but I doubt I use him so no point spending 100k on it.
Played 10 games today. TOTY Messi 3 times.
Just packed Ansu Fati from an 84+ x5. I am now a Brighton fan.
The price on some of these cards is insane. Looks like people really arent opening packs.
I packed Sorloth's inform untradeable and decided to throw him into my team on one chemistry. 6 foot 5 inches. 195cm. Stocky body type. 99 rated for everything involved with strength and heading with the traits. He has 29 goals in just 10 games in a 442. Long ball FC is working wonders.
Not sure what to do on the game now. The players i want to evo, you cant evo as they are all high rated and dont qualify.

Yeah it’s quite annoying. I get not wanting to push too many players above / beyond the power curve but keep them close ffs.
Though the lack of “normal” evos this weekend makes it look like they don’t know how to fix all the broken shit with chained evos. Same as not having a keeper one yet.
The next evo is a RTTK one limited to 88 rated cards.
Apparently it’s Tevez birthday today and we are getting his UCL card as an SBC
The other annoying thing about Evos is that it's so hard to pack the lower-rated cards First Owner. I've opened a million bronze packs to get Mainoo but can't hit him for shit
Right. I finally packed Hannibal the other week. Bit late now. Though I should be able to "merge" them to make that one also FO if I wanted to
