Nothing special. My pack luck has been abysmal. It is so hard to get f***ing coins in this game without spending real money. I had ~500k and most of it went to Rodrygo. I kinda botched the first round of Evos. I just finished Politano though.

You did the Xavi SBC? How is he? I wanted to but Futbin said not to.

I just pulled Rudiger* and Casemiro in an 85+ x2. Don't think Casemiro is usable but good fodder I guess. I have to figure out a way to get Rudiger in the squad. Probably swap out Camavinga for a traditional LB. I have better GKs, but Lloris is there for the links.


Got you. The rest of Arsenal went into the Rodrygo SBC.
@Striiker You need to step your team up if Flybrother is fielding this.

@FLYguy3911 Pack Gods have blessed me with a Virgil Van Dijk.

Whole team is being re-adjusted to fit this cheat code in.
Nice. I have to settle for 30 games on loan.

I saw someone pack a Valverde and Mbappe in a 86+x3 and I pulled three dupes - Popp (for the 30th time), Parejo the cheapest 86 in the game, and Trent for the third time. This game is so frustrating. :laugh:

I just bought Tonali because I have no idea what they are going to do with his card now that he’s suspended.

Dealing with people named "striker" is exhausting. I don't know how any of you do it.

:laugh:

How are you only in Div 8? I'm in 7 and barely play Rivals. :laugh:

What's the team looking like?
At the start of each new season it bumps you back two divisions, so as of today I’m back in 8.

I was at 6 last season (one win from 5, but I didn't play that on purpose) because I was rarely playing Rivals. I think I only had like 20 or so games played? Something roughly like that.

I was mostly playing Squad Battles just to do challenges and get packs or Online Draft for the reward packs. Haven't played a single game of weekend Champs either.

Plus, I played the HELL out of Starfield and was back on Warzone too.

My teams decent, which is what made my son there so upset, I guess. Dunno, I think he's just mad I put him over my knee.

You gotta let your kids win in order to build self confidence.

Mudryk SBC? Looks like you're not getting that upgrade. :sarcasm: @Starat327

That backline is nasty. How's Kone?

I've been hammering away at those upgrade SBCs. Nothing special as usual, but pulled KDB (not really usable), Dias, and Son.

I'm going for Pirlo but need a lot more coins. :laugh:

I dont know what this means, but the real weak long here is werner, don't get it twisted.

Oh damn, jealous of that Son unpack. I badly want him or Salah.

And yeah, I know a Chelsea player is never getting upgraded (unless they start awarding wins for xG?). I got him with the knowledge what you see is what you get. :laugh: Good card anyways though. I’m a sucker for anyone with pace and dribbling.

My back four is so damn good man. The fullbacks are super mobile and the center backs are brick walls, especially with their crazy playstyles that help with tackles. Kone is pretty good, not amazing. Happy with him over the alternative pick that wouldn’t have even made it in my team.

What does your team look like now?

Best player on the team by far. Dead serious.

I have a soft spot for werner in the worst way. Dude is a class act...just didn't know how to stay onside. Created space for everyone else and always gave 120%. Still comes to games at the bridge on occasion.

Just got my best pull value wise - Kane.

View attachment 762319

Need to work on configurations but these are my best cards. Rest went into SBCs. :laugh:
Very nice team. Only issue I’d have is the RMs pace. That Kudus would be perfect there.

And I don’t know how that Kane card is, but his final card last year was basically an automatic goal if you shot from any where inside the box. :laugh: Between him and Son, you’ve got some shooting power for sure.

I think we’re basically opposites when it comes to SBCs. :laugh: I’m the type to hoard all my extra players out of fear that there be an SBC I really like in the future and I’ll have nothing to do it with. I’ve only done Xavi (mistake) and Mudryk so far, other than the small ones for challenges.

I'm assuming these cards get reevaluated occasuonally and are based on form, that's the appeal, right

If so, Maddison would basically be undroppable right now. It's criminal how much he was held back at Leicester.

Cards never change but they continually release new updated cards of players who are performing well.

The Kane card he has there is already the second or third Kane released, each with slightly improved stats.

There’s also a few specific cards that can be upgraded by the players team progressing in the Champions/Europa leagues.

Maddison is just there to get Son on full chem (I guess I can put Lloris in goal). I switch formations in game. Kudus is hard to get full chem unless you go with a mostly prem team. I also haven't been great with him, but maybe I'll give him another go. Politano Evo is probably my best RW but the Serie A guys kinda got phased out with the new pulls. Forgot I got Sane. Never used him before. 2* weak foot tho...

I've only done Rice, Rodrygo, and Kudus as players. The rest just consolidating low rated golds for a chance at higher rated fodder and complete objs. I've dumped all of my golds 82 and below into that Centurions Upgrade. I've done like 67. Figure I'm just going to pull them as dupes anyway :laugh:
