Interested to hear your Rice thoughts. Think he’s a must do but disappointed with no 3 star skills.

Got Campos from the hero SBC which may be the least usable player going.

His regular gold already felt pretty strong so I'm hoping this card is really fantastic.

I had a center back bot give up a red card foul in the box last night on pro clubs. Very frustrating.

How do the bots’ stats work on pro clubs? Do they improve the more they play? Do the scale based on the pro’s level? Or do they stay the same all season?

Have had some pack luck so far so rocking with this team now. Have just been sticking with squad battles so far since honestly just haven’t had much free time other than 30 minutes here or there but looking forward to being able to get some more games in with Kane and Lewandowski bombing in power shots

I'm trying to find more time to get into WL. I am spending like an hour or two on the game a day, which feels like an absolute ton of time, but it's mostly spent figuring out SBCs, watching Youtubes, and doing squad battles for objectives. It leaves me very little time to do enough rivals to qualify for WL (still in Div 6), let alone actually play 20 WL games. I don't know how people do WL every weekend or whatever on reddit.

once you qualify once, if you win more than uhhh 7 games? i think you never need to worry about getting your div rivals points again assuming you don't fail qualification so that removes a ton of the friction.

6 and 9 Champs wins gets you 1000 qual points. Means you should only need 3-5 rivals wins depending on division per week.
11 champs wins gives full qual points.

I went 7-13 this week. Positive is that I definitely could’ve gotten 9 if it wasn’t for my team being a bit weak against full meta and bullshit cutbacks.

i could swear 9 gives you the full 1250 and the tier below gives a thousand.

he looks really good this year honestly, playstyles are genuinely a great addition to the game because they can make players that have historically been garbage usable or even good. john barnes is apparently a beast because of his playstyles.

I've bought KDB twice so far and he's just invisible for me. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Tried him as CM in a 4-4-2 or As CAM in a 4-1-2-1-2. Sometimes he makes a great pass, but most of the time he's just not where I want him to be. Joeilinton, who costs 60 times less, is way more involved in the game it feels.

I almost didn't play weekend league last weekend after barely scraping qualification (something that hasn't been an issue in years, basically) but wound up doing it anyway, which was a great idea, because i packed Caroline Hansen untradeable from the player picks.

so now i'm rocking some women's la liga players in my team like so:





I still have haaland but I got Crespo from the icon sbc and he's been surprisingly good so I mostly use Haaland as a sub to seal tight games (turns out subbing him on and running at defenders in the 70th+ minute is very powerful)

gotcha, I think I just need to dedicate a chunk of a few hours on the weekend to playing 20 games then. I also find that my play late at night is just sloppier when I get tired. You still have to requalify every week though right? Honestly, a lot of my anxiety for WL is just making sure I can win 4 games during qualification.

If anyone is on the fence with Blanc and needs a premium defensive upgrade, he is outstanding. Got him paired with Kounde and really feel the difference from Saliba.

I'm very tempted. Don't have enough high end fodder so I'd probably need to drip into RMT either through EA points or through coin buying sites.

Subliminal Ninja

I drip fed him top down and managed to do it without spending any coins. Being a bit more frugal this year with my SBCs, last year I did so many that I never used and never had any spare coins. Meant I kept missing out on the really premium ones.

Definitely not missing whatever is this years 92 Mbappe.

Blanc is really incredible yeah. an absolute rock you'll be able to build your defense around for 6 months or whatever no problem. Icon chemistry is actually really good this year too so he's doubly good.

I bought pires and quite like him. He has the incisive pass playstyle too. Just pinging balls to Ben Yedder who scores basically everything.
I've tried replacing Ben Yedder with way more expensive players but I just keep coming back to him. It's crazy a 1,5k player is this good.

I do use timed finishing because I think it's really useful for headers where I think it's fairly easy, also I think finishing is so loving jacked up otherwise I just feel like I'm going to hit the post every time without it

Also outside the box timed finishes are pretty good

BTW if anyone wants to play pro clubs I created Parmos United, you can look for the one with stefanprodan as manager and request a transfer and I'll add you

I had been saving since the start and did Mbappe first week. He’ll be in your team until TOTS if you want. He’s so good.

drat, wish I had Eusebio. But just looking at those kind of SBCs makes me :effort:

What team are you using?

I'm rocking this:



Socrates is a Brazilian powerhouse that waltzes through defenses.
Neymar same, but he does it with more style.
Liked Joeilinton's and Geyoro's gold so bought the upgraded versions. Van Dijk hasn't left my team since I packed him.
And I did the 150k evolution with Ben Yedder because I really like playing with him :)

Have about 500k too, but not sure what to spend it on. I quite like my team at the moment.

Have had good luck with the icon packs and just had to do the Zidane SBC since it’s freaking Zidane. Bonmati is great, she’s so responsive. Same as you, Van Dijk has been in the team since packing him, but need another CB to pair with him, though Moore has been surprisingly decent especially with Anticipate+.

Blew $50 on packs yesterday. Started without really using microtransactions but now I understand why FUT is the real money maker. Sometimes I enjoy the card collecting more than the actual gameplay. Packed Bompastor's new hero card - insanely responsive - and TOTGS Saka, which is my favorite player to control right now. I prefer his left stick over POTM Mbappe and the random Centurions Icon Ronaldinho that I packed off of a 10 coin engagement pack.
