    I was winding down big time a couple of weeks ago but the Mrs getting me a PS5 has revitalised me so I’ve been playing more again. No Div Rivals or player objectives during the week but I’ve been doing champs and the SS tokens.

    I wanted to do this weekend with Bale but I need the fodder from packs tonight and I’m off work today so I’ve already started. I gifted 4 games to start and I’m now 6-5.

    I really regret doing Eusebio. Used him in FIFA19 and he was still the best card I’ve ever used up until using Cruyff this year so I did the SBC. I think there’s two reasons I regret doing him. The main one is I’ve become completely reliant on 5* skills in front of goal, I don’t think there’s any 4* skills which create the space which I can create with CR7, Cruyff etc. Secondly when I had Eusebio in 19 it was earlier in the cycle, so he was more OP, now we’re in July and we’ve had so many promo cards, he doesn’t feel any smoother or better at finishing than someone like SS Grealish.

    Anyway this is the team I’ve been using, 41212 in game, all untradable. Going to be dropping Eusebio for Bale when I get a chance.

    Morning lads!

    Thanks @abhreebhu_45 for reuniting us in this beautiful thread.

    After 3 weeks of going cold turkey, I'm back this weekend trying to achieve those 14 wins for the first freaking time.

    Haven't been playing so much lately. Sable is being my go to game before jumping into the bed, with Shedders Revenge and Road 96 on the waiting list. But I've decided to start FUT 23 around April next year, so I will be hitting some Champs and Rivals games until the end of the cycle to enjoy my squad.

    We go again with the 4 1 2 1 2 narrow, with Saka on join the attack. A 5 2 1 2 with both full backs attacking as plan B, the same 4 1 2 1 2 with constant pressure and everyone forward to chase some last minute equalizers and another 5 2 1 2, but with everyone defending to get some wins in close games (shame on me).

    I will be rotating between these two starting elevens. Everyone on 10, except little chili (on 7).

    And the usual subs during different moments of the second half are Bellerín for Saka, Fábregas for Martin and Auba or Gabi for Henry in the first team, and Auba for the most tired attacker in the second team.

    Ljunberg has been superb in the few games I played during the week. Amazing card. Also, Gibbs has been a wonderful surprise as a defensive LB.

    Good luck, play fair, have fun and score some beautiful goals, my brothers.

    Game on! ⚽⚡

    Some proper stinky rewards today. Reds were 93 and 95 fodder, nothing in packs, looking forward to opening the fodder packs later and finishing Bale with the two reds from today.

    I'm out a festival tonight and tomorrow so will get my games done on Sunday.

    Going to give the 352 a spin for the first time this year in champs.

    Good luck @abhreebhu_45 and the rest of your guys!

    Quick run to 11-5 as I’m in work all weekend.

    Very easy weekend tbf and gameplay was decent.

    Marcelo is my favourite striker in the game, he’s just so good at everything, even scored some headers. Bale dropped for Insigne. Just didn’t get on with him.

    Bruno and Acuna reds. Took Acuna over Neuer as I may actually use him.

    Good luck everyone and thanks to @abhreebhu_45

    Yeah I’ve got Corona too. But Kessie and Hernandez are undroppable sadly.

    Won 4 out of 5 quali games with relative ease. So nice to get qualifying out of the way quickly.

    Now time for the finals.

    @abhreebhu_45 thanks for creating weekly WL thread, bud!

    Decided to inject some fun into my team this weekend. Dropped a few players and will be running full Serie A starting 11. Bought Pereyra and De Ligt.

    Having sold up my whole team last week as bored of the game already and fed up of the grind, gone untradables only so no pressure to upgrade anywhere as it’s all pot luck. Currently 3-2 …. chances of hitting the usual 9 wins with a squad sim not familiar with :joy:

    I remember doing the Morales sbc without realising he's 5'2' got a shock when I first used him in my MLS side, but he's actually really good.

    Managed 8 wins playing the same way as last week. If I went a goal down quit, if I score first play until I either win, they quit or they come back and then quit when they take the lead. Gets it all done fast and easy in a couple of hours.

    TOTS pack: Dias, Mendes and Canales

    Reds the usual of me trying to avoid dupes to then end up with Silva, Rice and Frimpong as a result.

    Not ideal :joy:

    Gone from 9-2 to 10-7 🙄

    Seemed to go from winning a few quite comfortably and a few tight wins to playing guys who are MILES better than me.

    Surely there should some sort of middle ground ffs. I don’t expect to stroll to 14 wins, this is the top tier competition after all but went from
    one extreme to the other!

    I think he’s great, my fave player to play with. I did have an MLS hybrid, but even without any MLS players in there, he stays. Bought the game beginning of May after a few years away from FIFA, he’s managed 163G & 130A in 224 games, not the greatest but I’m happy with him.

    Although packed De Ligt, Gomez & Tonali, so he might be benched after this week :grimace:

    Exactly this after 5 wins. I always kick myself about it but easier.

    Gonna call it for the night. Went from 1-2 to 7-2. Next thing I know, I’m 8-6. Only 1 defeat where I got battered, and even then I was 4-4 going into last 10 mins and he found an extra gear and smashed me 7-4 :flushed: Other 3 were close, 2 lost by 1 goal from my silly mistake. The other, he just kept spinning in circles the whole way round the pitch, couldn’t get near him :trollface:

    8-3 so far. Milito is a good finisher. Played him with Bale who was a big disappointment in front of goal. De Ligt is an awful CDM but decent CB, as his stats suggest. Kohler is far better for me at both tho. Did Reus too and enjoyed using him.

    7-3 currently. Pulled CR7 in the player pick this week and was able to finish Bale with fodder packs so was looking forward to play and test them this weekend. Gameplay seems better than last weekends so far.
    Good luck everyone
