Had a bit of luck in upgrades tonight (couple of IFs and 85+s) so threw it all into Tierney. Cost me about 30k in the end.
Edit: And Thiago silva + MOTM Chirivella from the last pack pays for him. I say pays for, I mean recovers the out of pocket.

I think I might get back into silver trading. Was buying a fair few silvers on open bid to complete the SBC’s yesterday and there’s an absolute fortune to be made.
I’m coming to terms with Icon Pack + Moore from Icon Swaps, so the latter might help me get him in the team.
Interesting choices. I've gone for Koeman (great at CDM or even CM), and I'm genuinely thinking I'll go for Nakata, despite him being the lowest value per token.
Very few of the players are good enough to get into my team, or at least don’t offer any sort of tangible upgrade so I figure I may as well roll the dice.
Moore will get in ahead of Nacho Fernandez so at least I’m getting that shitehawk out of the side.
That's 20 icon swap tokens down and 1 goal away from the 85 Odegaard. Both him and the 82 Osihmen are so shit. The former is allergic to getting forward and the latter can't pass and ice skates around all over the place.
I really enjoyed Ødegaard. Flew through his objectives with the 85, even the chips.
Been hammering some trading since late last week. Trying to get a serous wedge in the bank to get Greenwood and RTTF Martial. Might try and get the latter this week ahead of the United games in the UEL.
I didn't get on with Martial.
I think maybe it was the work rates but he just seemed to be non-existent in so many games.
Trying to run through the Saudi league SBCs again and have hit a snag with Al Faisaly. I can only see about 5 cards on the market for the 3 central midfielders, and no left back available either. Irritating as it is the last one I have left before I can refresh and start again.
Futbin solution has a GK at left back (because the only left back is 19k) and a RM at one of the CM spots.
Anyone used Pogba? He is seriously cheap compared to last year and has improved Med/High work rates. He would slot on next to Koeman in the 4-2-3-1.
I had Scream Alli but sold him as his other cards are catching up and passing him.
I don't think I've faced a team with Pogba in it all year.
Right. That’s what I was thinking. I don’t remember seeing him but usually he is just a bully.
What in the fuck is that 80+ upgrade SBC about?
Zaniolo FFS Obectives player released too. With some decent and some annoying objectives.
These objectives in Zaniolo are a disgrace. Assist 7 goals with lobbed through passes in rivals wins
It's as if EA are accommodating for people who've self relegated, which just fucks over those who haven't and encourages more to do so.
It's such a stupid fucking system.
Lofted through balls were great in the last patch but they're so hard to pull off now.
That Zaniolo card is crap as well.
He might be my limit.
Score two volleys with his 83. He has 50 volleys ffs
And you have to do that in rivals.
Score and assist in 4 separate rivals wins is also a bitch.
Yeah, for what you get, that's the worst objectives for any player I can recall so far.
Were he not a FFS player you'd be able to get him on the market for 20-30k.
Just not worth it, on any level.
That 80+ upgrade pick is fucking mental.
10 UCL Rares? Yikes.
Edit: In game it's Rare or UCL Rare, which is better but still expensive.

These obj upgrade cards. There are several versions with different positions per player. Do you get to pick a position and grind it to the highest level?
Nope. You get to use the card(s) you achieve and it never changes.
I have little interest in doing them. Will I get to level 30 for Akanji if i dont do them. Will i have another Xp of i do everything else?
You'll get enough Sincere.
85 Osimhen is actually quite good, so I'll be going for the 88.
Oh and I scored a header with Osimhen in a win, but it was with the 82 before I'd unlocked the 85. You can't make that shit up.
7/11 for Osimhen and 9/11 for Odegaard now.
Absolutely no chance I'm doing Zaniolo.
Did the mid icon pack and got 89 Shearer.
My favourite player as a kid and arguably his best version, so I'll take that.
The players that will make me stick on this version for a while keep coming.
He was brilliant a couple of patches ago and was still decent on the last patch.
If he's got space and/or he's one on one he's absolutely lethal.
I did Kubo just before the SBC expired. I had to buy Toni Kroos for 22k but the rest was completed with untradeables so he was incredibly good value. A nice little bonus in the squad to look forward to when I get out and can play again.
What chem style did you use on him Mahow?
Engine.
His shooting is already good enough so I wanted to boost his agility/balance in addition to his pace.
Engine has become one of my go to’s this year.
83 Zaniolo done and 1 win away from the last swaps and Zambrotta. In any dead time between now and end of the season I might work on either Zaniolo or Osimhen but I doubt it.
Basic gives the same boost to Agility as an Engine. If that's the boost you're primarily after Engine is probably the least efficient way to get it. I've left a few players on Basic this year and for Rui Costa in particular it's worked wonders. It's definitely the best style to have on a goalkeeper too, because unless you're playing Silver only and using a complete no hoper in goal no keeper will be so far from elite that a Basic doesn't put them into the nineties in at least three stats.
Yeah but engine also adds +5 acceleration, +10 balance and +5 reactions.
Keepers on basic all day. No reason to pick anything else.
Did one of those 80+ and got Thiago. Another duplicate sitting in the pile with SMS.
Completely forgot to finish off FS Kubo before the deadline at 6pm yesterday. Gutting as he would have been a great RM for La Liga first owner objectives, and a key part of a fun Japanese side I had coming along.
I managed to scrape the last icon swap for Essien last night. I didnt want to use him as playing SB, just pissed me off. But he looks great with an Anchor
I’m toying with the idea of selling Ronaldo.
