They only just left! Bastards. Had to have my dinner late and now my Mrs wants the TV.
May have to wait till tomorrow morning. Will post up my rewards later.
Got Khedira, Otamendi, Marquinhos and Javi Martinez of people who sell more then discard from my gold 3. Meh. Javi Martinez was 30k so that's nice at least. Pretty much around 100k combined from my 3 packs and the 30k from the rewards which is pretty much as expected.
Yup haven't played it though but will get time tomorrow. Challenge?
In the wise words of... god knows who said it actually, but:
Good things come to those who wait.
Obv
From what I'm reading seems like playing against mates be a better way to enjoy this, don't think I can cope with another online sweat fest.
What's been the reason for the huge price increase in some players? Not even needed for sbc's, but Sanchez, Martial, Dembele have all gone up like 20k each. My 2 teams have gone up a combined 180k from when I bought them last sunday. Can't be that big of variation for just weekend league buying and selling. Tempted to sell and buy them all sunday night again.
Or Pogba going up a good 50k from this morning. Weird.

If I sell everything I have I can affort CR7 and a 50k team around him, hmm
Do it or neymar mbappe hybrid
Anyone use OTW Kessie?
Liked his gold card when I stared Serie A bit his stats are still pretty average. Wondering if he's the kind of card that plays up like Sanchez last year.
Always handy to have OTWs as well.

I'd do it, you make enough to build a team around him in a week or two.
My best player was Santi Carzola. What a fecking joke!
Wow terrible cards. The best I got was Asensio! Such a waste after that 40 game slog

I feel your pain bro.
I’ll wait a week and build a proper team around him instead
For whoever played on Xbox last year, what were the legend player prices like at the beginning? Do they keep the same value throughout the year or drop?
Would fecking love to have any Del Piero card but they're all about a million.

The upgrade on the OTW Sigi is pretty nice, really like using him at CAM
I have a OTW Kessie which I packed.
I use him in my Calcio A side and he’s 1 of my 3 midfielders. He’s actually quite good. Hopefully he gets a TOTW so his stats boost. He’s pretty much an all action midfielder. I plan to use him beside Matuidi and Marchisio. At the minute I use him next to Sanchez and Allan.
Anyone try Nainggolan? Is he worth his... 250k over Khedira? If not then I'll probably just hold on for another 250k for Pogba.
Edit: Or maybe switch Ousmane Dembele, Asensio and N'Zonzi for De Bruyne, Mkhitaryan and Matic/Bakayoko/Gueye?? Not sure

Just done the overmars loan sbc with players in my club. Trying to do the del Piero one now but it's a nightmare. Might just get Rui Costa instead as I'm happy with my strikers but could do with an upgrade on Asensio
I've got both of those combinations minus De Bruyne who I've got Eriksen instead of and I don't see a major quality difference when using them.
Checked the futbin prices and the prem/la liga team is worth 700k and I have 260k saved, but it still feels much weaker then the serie A side which just has a great balance (and is worth 500k). That's why I want to get Pogba but he's still another 250k away so not that close. The defence is good, Sanchez and Martial are good but I just feel a bit meh about the midfield (herrera, asensio, n'zonzi) and even Dembele who ends up playing as the CAM a lot of the time. Just feels like I should upgrade it more before it feels "complete" but I'm not sure with who. Asensio I like using but might not be quite good enough, especially playing as a center mid.
I didnt like Nainggolan, he was everywhere and nowhere. I expected more, i thought his long distance shooting was inconsistent, due to him being up and down the field, he was a lot of times one or 2 steps too slow defensively and lost his man. He also gets too easily pushed when on the ball .I liked his passing though, his pace and his in the box finishing.
I have a Spanish squad and an Italian one, and Modric for example is the much better midfield player, even if his card isnt as impressive on paper. But his passing, dribbling and defensive positioning are much better, even if Nainggolan can have great games and moments. I sold him and got Marchisio, who is the better player for the coins. I only played him with the basic chemistry style. Best you try him out, my brother always buys him and never sells him, first name on the team sheet. I just dont get along quite well defensively with defenders and midfield players having high/high workrates.
Aaaaawww yiss! Being an idiot I spent my coins on a few gold packs today, was fecking lucky enough to pull De Gea and Coutinho... Woooo!
Damn, just regular premium gold packs? How many did you buy?
Buffon
Valencia - Barzagli - Bonucci - Rose
IF Fellaini - Wanyama
De Bruyne
Mhki - Costa - Martial
My team right now. Bought Zlatan today. Not really given him a chance but Costa at 40k is an absolute monster. Better than Morata, Zlatan and Kane so far. His hold up play is amazing and when he does shoot, expect it to go into the top corners Valencia - Barzagli - Bonucci - Rose
IF Fellaini - Wanyama
De Bruyne
Mhki - Costa - Martial
Sitting on Kane until his prices goes up then I will sell. Got Eriksen, but again, with him being out of packs, I am just hoping he rises a bit in price.
Depending what happens, I could sell Ibra (160) Kane (150 once his prices goes up maybe) Eriksen (120 hopefully)
My options at this point is save for Pogba or just go for Lukaku
Nah, those that cost 7500. Went through about 6-7 packs. Kept throwing good money after bad, but lucked out in the end ^_^
My team is very similar to yours. I'm saving for Modric to replace Asensio. Keep spending coins on drafts though and packing no one so just waiting for my one good pull to be able to make my dream team. I'm convinced if I play and win drafts all year I've got to pull an icon.
Yeah that looks solid but it isn’t better than what I currently have
For 100k more then Ronaldo if you were thinking of a full new team or Ronaldo...Yeah that looks solid but it isn’t better than what I currently have

Or a very cheap (33k or so) team around Ronaldo..
https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/449811
I’m sticking with what I have for now. Though I like some of the elements in that cheap team around Ronaldo. Wouldn’t use him so far out wide though. I’d stick him up front in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) or as a LF in a 4-3-2-1. That other team lacks too much physicality in the midfield. It’s crucial for me to have strength and height in there, and I’d honestly rather have Bakayoko than Kante. Also I think Pogba is quite awful for his price. He’s got 71 finishing, his longshots aren’t insane anymore and his defensive stats are actually quite poor. Otherwise I do like that team, it’s definitely one of the more creative I’ve seen.

Going for almost discard. He's perfect for left midfield in 3421

Managed a few games late last night to test Griezmann. He's excellent as a CAM. He's so damn quick. He didn't work as a striker for me though as was getting pushed off the ball a lot. But as a CAM he could drop in the hole and drive forward well.
I'm back to being skint now though. Spent 360k on him

Wise investment, just checked his price cause I want him, it's currently at 383k.Managed a few games late last night to test Griezmann. He's excellent as a CAM. He's so damn quick.
