@P-Nut0712 you up for a game today? Need to test my team

I'll be on later so yeah I could give you a few games. Need to test both my teams anyway as they've changed since weekend league.

I thought the full 20 team sbcs were for the top scorers in their respective leagues from last season?

If so that might mean there's Kane for prem, lewandowski for bundesliga and higuian for serie A still to come (if they were top scorers)

Lacazette got the ligue 1 sbc because Ibra moved to United. I might just go for serie A teams then instead

Ah that might be right then I just assumed they were picking random players. Saurez get more goals than Ronaldo and Messi last year yeah?
 
Yeah its for top scorers.

So what do people mostly use here these days? 1 team and fitness cards with a few subs? Or 2 teams and rotate every game? I use 2 teams but I'm beginning to think you might not be able to play as well like that. Also kind of want to make a super team that has one of neymar/suarez/bale in it, along with my otw pogba, and then like 400k for the other 9 players. No idea how I would fit it in though. Might need to save up a bit more coins for a super team.

I was looking at everyone's teams in the "play against a friend" mode and I saw a cheeky OTW Pogba on your bench, how did you get him you lucky bastard!

I have varied between the 2. I used one team for ages on the advice of @Macern but found myself getting bored of them after about 20 games and my results slipping. Changed it to 2 teams and still get around the same results but make coins much faster due to not buying fitness cards and also being able to sell every fitness card I get in packs.

Went from having a basic la Liga team (koke, isco) to having Griezmann modric etc in 1 weekend league.

I posted my hybrid team maybe a page or so back but my prem team needs revamping as it's getting quite stale. Any ideas on who to add? I can save up this weekend league rewards and the next plus the 60k I've currently got so should have around 200k.

Current team is

Courtois
Valencia Bailly Smalling Moreno
Kante Rooney
Ozil
SBC Willian Sturridge Sanchez

Hoping for that TOTW Rooney to upgrade there and considering buying back Aguero but I love Sturridge up top :-/ can see it getting took apart next weekend though so need some additions.

You're a mad man.

How much you got to play around with?

Think I played 15 games or so. Think I had one loss, one draw and the rest wins but I couldn't dominate the opponent at all in any of those games tbh. My pressing with the 4-3-3(4) is so good that the opponents usually struggle a lot to actually get to my half of the pitch but with the 4-3-2-1 the ball was everywhere on the pitch.

My new team (4-3-3(4)):
Vitor Baia
IF M.Antonio - Smalling - Thiago Silva - Marcelo
Pogba - Matuidi
IF Mkhitaryan - SBC Lacazette - Neymar
Owen

This can't go wrong. Formation is perfect, everyone on full chemistry, no weak links and I've got Neymar who is unstoppable. I'm excited to test Owen and Mkhitaryan, I've already used every other player before so I know what I'm getting. What's nice is that if they don't perform I can always switch them out.

Got OTW Jovetic in a pack from completing the marquee matchups, so decided to try the summer untradable OTW sbc and I got Pogba first try :lol: Got so pumped up from it.

I'd probably work on the defence. Walker in for Valencia (the pace difference is pretty noticeable), personally really liked using IF Marcos Alonso at left back as well, though not sure how Moreno is. Alonso is 65k I think, Walker is 17k.
If I were to make a single premier league team again I would probably try to make something like:
https://www.futbin.com/17/squad/1673666

Martial MOTM Son Willian
SIF Mkhitaryan Dembele Kante IF Valencia
IF Azpilicueta Bailly Smalling
Courtois​
And then switch in game to a 4-1-2-1-2:
Martial MOTM Son
Willian
SIF Miki Dembele
Kante
IF Azpi Bailly Smalling IF Valencia
Courtois
​
Though that would take like 900k probably to make so it would be my only team.

Welcome to the Pogba club :devil:

He's actually a little underwhelming if I'm being honest. Though there's only so much a center mid can do. Just feel like if it was tradeable then I would definitely sell him for the coins and making 2 teams for 1mil each instead of having him in there.

@P-Nut0712 I'm online now, just msg me on xbox when you get on.

Yeah just waiting on getting the TV. Shouldn't be too late.

Yeah if I sold my second team I'd probably be able to afford the main players there tbh but I'm reluctant to get rid of them as the coin making is so much better with 2 teams.

Yeah I don't get the massive hype with him as a cm. I'd probably play him as a striker if I had to keep him. He'd be a nightmare in and around the box no doubt.
 
Done the otw untradable sbc like 6 times now and got Sansone, untiti, Guilani and some other shitc**ts I can't remember.
 
Just lost a fecking game because I spilled a bowl of hot noodles all over my lap, my chair and my carpet. Had to quit and wash up. feck that was annoying and my jeans can't really be washed in a washing machine but I have no choice. I hate my life so much
 
Don't count on the PL requirements to stay for the Weekend League next week. They had it twice before initially only to remove it 3 days prior to the WL for that week.

:lol: I have lots of notes telling me where to shoot my pens to make it completely random. Has worked so far, won 4/4
 
Packed a Lukaku from the Ultimate TOTW pack I saved last week. Best pull I got this year.

Once I saw it was a walkout, was just praying to see a Belgian flag(ended up getting Mkhi too). Made 1.3 mil from the pack overall :D
 
Cheapest OTW card people?
 
Macern said:
Think most of them are going for the same price. I always bought Milik, he's one of the cheapest.

Ended up getting berahino for 25k. Don't know if I overpaid but got Bailly in the untradeable ones. Don't know whether or not to stick or twist :-/
 
Just got Bailly again and he's untradeable. Been sat at the page for about 5 minutes trying to figure out a way to not discard him!!!

Gave up and did it again anyways. Ended up with Hummels and Bailly after running out of cash. Definitely spending all my rewards on it tomorrow though as I'm not saving up millions for Ronaldo etc so may aswell hope for Pogba or Kante.
 
Just had the most "smash and grab" win of my life in the last game of the season to get promoted. Had like 3 shots all game (game stats said 1), the other guy must have had like 14 but Handanovic was incresible in net and I got a late winner to win 2-1 (and then time wasted for 10 game minutes). In division 2 now again. Always seem to bounce up and down between div 3 and 2, instant promotions then instant relegations. We'll see how long I last in it.

I can't decide whether to do it or not!!!

The only cost is the initial OTW, maybe 30k if your clever.

After that 82 rated players are around 2k each so even if you need to buy 10 it's not so bad.

I'm in my first season in 2nd division, fighting to stay up!
 
Lads need some help getting my BPL team together for next weekends champs league.

Ii'm playing 4-3-2-1 with IF Grey as ST, IF Pedro as RF and Martial as LF.

Pedro isn't really doing the business for me? Has anyone got any recommendations for RF?
May also need another back up option for CM?
 
Just did a few SBCs...

Got this monster from a prime players pack :D :

IMG_0126.jpg


Then got Van Aanholt OTW which I SBC traded for this:

So now my team looks like this:
