    Good luck. I hope none of you get Pope

    I was lucky again



    Finally sold my OTW Salah over the weekend so he slots into that spot quite nicely

    Cleared anything below 80 in my club into EPL upgrade SBC and EPL Premium upgrade SBC. Nothing from the premium but the EPL upgrade paid off

    My pack luck has been incredible. I’ve opened probably 15 upgrade packs and 10 premium upgrades

    Yeah I was expecting Pope so figured if I was home and saw England I could hope for Kane/Young/Walker/Alli. Very happy and lucky

    I did 20 premium pl upgrades and got Azpilicueta out of them. My tots pack was Alli. Was a little disappointed and started using the EPL players in the league SBC. Completed 9 teams. Opened those packs: Tradeable TOTY Son. Happy again.

    How’s he fit into your squad? Or does he?

    Also bought Firmino using my initial Son sale. Looking at either keeping Alli and grabbing a CB or selling and getting Walker.

    Upgrade SBCs paid off big time again.

    In back to back regular upgrades (so EPL Premium gold pack, 12 items, 10 Gold, 3 rare, typically 3-4 players) I got Matic and Young

    Son more valuable though

    But the roller coaster of emotions seeing England flag then getting freaking Walker instead of Pope would be something

    Was using this with Seba at CAM to do the weekly objective for Valeri and really liked it (mostly because Jozy is pretty much the best ST on the game)

    Gonna hold on to Valeri if I can spare other TOTS guys and run this some for seasons and SBs.



    Also,

    I grabbed his 84 Hero card, put hunter on it, and it was really nice. Sold it with the quickness once I got Valeri though.

    Sort of but not really. I love him.

    I’ve used Prime Kluivert, OTW Mbappe, PTG Jesus, SBC Griezmann, SBC Cavani, OTW Lukaku and then had some top ST in draft and I have more success with Jozy than anyone else. His G+A per match is way above anyone else I’ve used

    Working on Roberto Carlos and then De Gea. Never thought I would have a squad like that. I spent money on the game, obviously, but EA has done some great promotions this year. They kicked it out of the park w TOTS. As much shit as we all give him, this has been the most fun I’ve had playing any FIFA since the first FUT.

    Apparently they will still keep WL and other things going and to keep interest in both modes, any packs you buy in WC mode you also get an equal pack in regular FUT.

    They also have changed the WL rewards so that instead of getting TOTW players you get TOTS players. Apparently last year they did this for monthly rewards too. So at the end of the month instead of getting 5 81+ TOTW players released in May, ChileanNole will get 5 TOTS players.

    Apparently they did this for the rewards given at the beginning of June, July and August last year.

    Ive grown to love WL. Sure it’s frustrating and sometimes I wanna destroy my console but that happens to me on SB too. The satisfaction of beating someone else is just the best. I never played much online other than clubs before this year because I thought lag would mess up gameplay. WL has no lag so it’s great.

    I'll never be good enough to qualify for the weekend league but even if I could the thought of playing that many games...

    I haven’t played the last 2 weekends but I was basically playing ~20 games to get my 11 wins after the first weekend. I went the full 40 my first weekend and I can’t imagine doing that weekly. That’s why there have been a bunch of pros who retired this year.

    I only played the 40 the first week that I was trying. Most weeks I get 30 in. Since you can start Friday it’s not too bad. I’m constantly making gold 3 or gold 2 now.

    I have a bunch of useless TOTW guys, some untradable is there anything I can do with them to not have them wasted? An SBC or something?

    I normally play some SB games on the weekends so was just playing WL at those same times instead.

    Last weekend I didn’t play that much of either and spent a nice day outside with my wife. It was nice.

    Possibly could be part of some Icon SBCs but probably part of something requiring part of a high rated squad

    Some of them are trash 76s. There were a few guaranteed TOTW earlier in the year, missed them

    Last year over the summer they recycled some past SBCs and required some different special cards from throughout the season to give them some use.

    Also did End of An Era cards for Alonso, Lahm and Kuyt

    I should have Roberto Carlos by Tuesday or latest by Thursday. Still holding off to SBC Thiago, EOAE Kaka, and EOAE Pirlo. Been tempted to turn them into an SBC.

    If I ever went after him, I would use him as CAM not ST or RF/RW. I don’t like small strikers unless they have strength. When I had Neymar I mostly used him at CAM too.

    Also forgot to mention, sad it took him getting a TOTS to FINALLY be useful, but Kroos is fantastic now. Just like in real life, he’s poised and makes the perfect passes and turns. Great in defense and offense and with Shadow pace is no longer a concern.
