Nep packed an icon in a 5k pack yesterday and an icon in a fucking bronze pack today
---

wtf bronze packs have that possibility? i thought you'd only get bronze in those

Also, man, politano is getting a 10.0 match rating practically every match.

Yo what division should I get to before I do WL? I'm just scared that I'm not gonna win enough games and have to keep grinding DR to get points.

I'm division 7 right now and still getting a feel for this game. Still practicing optimal ball rolls, drag backs, and l1 dribbling....and using the quick ball roll to set up a curved shot

Doesn't really matter man just give it a go and see how you go
---

The sooner you start the better tbh

Also, any of you do those draft coins tournaments for packs
---

hmm, well i'm working all weekend so I dont think ill get a chance, i guess ill juts build towards next weekend

Bought Kane for 24k on Saturday and sold for 29k just now. All my other "investments" have lost me money lol

I just made about 5k in 30 minutes doing bronze pack method. I have about 30 other players listed right now.

I started with 67k, 1 hour later I'm at 84k (icardi sold for 9k) so BPM just made me like 8k over that time.

Someone on reddit posted about how he made 100k in 6 hours, I have some downtime at work today so I'm testing it out

Yeah BPM always works it's just slow going
---

What do u think about theTrossard objective? I was thinking about doing it but I dunno how I'd fit him in with politano and scream pique.... I would likely need KDB to connect to him, which is fine, but I'd need more than that. I've also thought about Robertson at LB but I would need a CB... VVD would be 6 Chem next to pique. I dunno.

Garbage. Too hard for a mediocre card. I won't be doing it.

Switched up my team, here it is now

https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/8123105

4-2-2-2

Neymar/Werner strikers
Gnabry/Brandt wide
Gueye/Pep CDMs

Enjoying it a lot
---

Looks like a fun team. Haven't tried em this year but last year I preferred neymar over Ronaldo and Messi. Just personal preferance. I'd imagine he's better than both of em this year too.... Because he's so damn quick and agile, while being 5*5* he's just such a complete striker/winger wherever u wanna play him

Yeah his fake shots are too good. Just have to learn how to use him properly
---

I think I'm at 12k profit for the day from BPM alone

What do you think of Pep? He's not super expensive and he can replace Allan on my team. Is he even an upgrade over him? His stats are actually worse.

Also, what kind of instructions are you giving your CDMs or your high/high CMs like Allan? Allan is actually High/Med but honestly he might as well be high/high he's everywhere. Reason I ask is cuz I just started fine tuning my tactics/instructions now that I'm settling in on a style somewhat, but I feel like guys are all over the place.

Also wtf is up with my CBs....I had a back line of 4 defenders with 2 attackers coming at me, I'm controlling the CDM which would be the 5th defender. One of the winger runs diagonally pulling my CB out of the way. At the same time I miss a tackle with my CDM thinking I have 2 fucking bigass CBs ready to take on this 1 attacker. As I miss the tackle, Pique gets pulled into Semedo's direction double teaming that 1 winger and it opens up the entire middle for an easy goal, Lenglet is just sitting there on the left like a dumbass. Him and Firpo are on the left guarding no one because there are no attackers on that side at all.

i'm going to need 45,120 to get elite 1 in squad battles....not worth it, i'll just settle with elite 2 i guess lol
---

Not an upgrade. Allan is just as good if not better

I don't do much on my tactics, wide players come back on defense, CDMs cover centre, strikers get in behind. That's about all really
---

Of course I sold Kane at 29k.....hes now going for 42k. I think it's the icon sbc driving it

Just sold 3 of my 4 Allan's for 20k. Just gotta sell 1 more. I will walk away with net 8k-10k losses just for doing that, which I guess I've made up with BPM.

I wish i had enough coins for dat david villa sbc lol
---

I don't think a Spanish striker would fit my team. I'm sticking with serie a or Brazil pretty much

Got to division 6....Got crushed 3 times in a row, then I forced 4 rage quits in a row up 3-0. Alot more fuckbois in this divison that love to watch every replay and dance around with skill moves in open field just to show off. The types of dudes who start the game passing it back then just juggling the ball until one of my defenders goes close to him.

But man, Politano what a fucking beast this guy is. Like I said before, he's all over the field, such a smart player, always exactly where I want him. Every match rating is a 10.0 He's involved in pretty much every one of my goals. I have zero desire to switch up my team even though theres so many good EPL or bundesliga players (even though my fav team is bayern and theres so many good bayern players)

And Laxalt has a sexy curved shot. I'm getting way more goals in than costa. Definitely worth the upgrade.

I feel like theres not alot of good CAMs for serie a teams.

What do you think about putting a striker at CAM like Mertens:
https://www.futbin.com/20/squad-builder/10654682

Right now I have Gomez there, he's good but im starting to get annoyed with that 3* WF. I don't care as much about WF with my wingers because I just learn to cut a certain way. but my striker and CAM need at least 4* WF with the way I play. I could also swap politano and gomez but politano is just such a monster on the wing and he thrives in space so I rather not move him.

CAM would be dybala but yeah 3* wf might be annoying
---

dybala is 3* WF as well. I meant I could use position modifiers to make Mertens a CM in a 4-2-3-1 and replace Gomez with him.

I like CAMs to have a bit of strength tbqh
---

True, thats what I was worried about. But its not like Gomez is any better, his defense and phy are just as bad as Mertens, and its apparent when I'm defending.

Personally, I like balanced CMs. I honestly care less about pace in that specific position, my forwards are all pacey. If my CM is coming up, its gonna be because I worked the ball in with good passing and not because he get in behind with pace. Fucking Hamsik would've been perfect if he didn't leave serie a.

Yeah pace isn't that important for CMs
---

I might save up a bit and switch him to IF Nainggolan
https://www.futbin.com/20/player/43727/Nainggolan/

He's 3*3*...but 91 long shots. But he's a more balanced player overall. I'm just not satisfied with Gomez.
https://www.futbin.com/20/compare/42889/43727?chem=deadeye,engine&pchem=10,10&schem=100,100

Nainggolan always a good fun card to use

Nainggolan always a good fun card to use

I think my defense will be pretty strong with Allan, Radja IF, and Keane.

I can scrape together enough to get Radja now. I have 200k and if I sell Gomez for 90k, sell some discard IFs, I can have enough.

OR should I save up a bit more and try to buy Allan RTTF, which is abou 350 right now and will likely go up as hes pretty much a lock to advance right now. Whereas Radja IF will likely go down in price over the next few weeks as they keep releasing these beast CMs. I think I'll do this option and just go for Allan RTTF for now.

Alright last question, whats a better buy right now: Allan RTTF for 360k or IF Radja at 305k?

So basically it'd be Allan RTTF + gold Radja, or gold Allan + IF Radja. I have about 360k coins, I wont be able to afford the other one until after black friday and by then the market might pick up again and his price might go back up.

Although Radja's price has been about 300-360 since the card release. Allan RTTF has gone from 280 to 420, but I doubt it drips below what it is now.

I'm basically asking if Allan RTTF is gonna be that much better than his gold card after the first upgrade he inevitably gets? Cuz IF radja is WAY better than gold radja.

I'm also hearing half the star players are all leaving Napoli cuz of problems with the president????

Allan's better unless you wanna play them CAM and shoot
---

But yes if Allan leaves in Jan the card dies
---

Alright im not gonna go for it. I don't think ill play enough to be able to lose that much coins in an investment not to mention if he leaves serie a he won't fit my team

well the RTTF card would stay as a Napoli card, it just wouldn't upgrade any more even if Napoli continued progressing after he left
---

Hmm, I mean they certainly won't progress if there's a revolt from what it sound sloek, so I'm psying that much for 1 upgrade. I may be able to just buy the card later for cheaper?

Alright well I decided to go for Allan... Hes a staple on my team and so I could use the better card.

Tbh I will probably be playing this game alot less in January. My schedule gets much busier, I might be left to play just on weekends here and there. Not like now where I come home from work and play like 2 games every night. Weekend league will be rare for me as well.

Sold lenglet for gold militao to get full Chem on Allan. If I'm paying that much I want him maxed out. I'm also running gold Telles and gold Radja.

Next upgrade will be If Radja, then If telles. Just have to build up.

It'll suck for me if Insigne leaves... But I guess I'd have to go with some of the serie a informs, they won't be as good as Insigne tho.

Liking Allan. I dunno if its the card boosts or the fact that I brought his chem from 8 to 10, but he's certainly a baller right now on my team. Nainggolan fits perfectly with Allan and Keane. Its just a beast of a midfield, alot of fun to play. Nainggolan is just a high/high beast all around. I have 100k right now, can't wait to be able to afford him. Once I get him Ill be pretty satisfied with my squad. My defense has been stellar lately. Militao is such a perfect centerback, so quick and agile. I put shadow on pique which helps tremendously.

My only issue will be if Insigne leaves Napoli which is pretty much a lock, then I'm stuck without a great striker....unless he stays in italy. I was checking out my stats and he's actually the best player on my team, not politano. Scream insigne will cost me like 900k. I wont be able to afford him for months unless I get some spectacular pack luck.

I mean if a player leaves his original card stays, it just goes out of packs and is replaced by the new card. Your current insigne wouldn't change clubs
---

Just any future cards/in forms would be with the new club. Scream Insigne will stay Napoli even if he leaves, for example
---

Oh okay, so my current gold insignr stays Napoli. Then I'm chillin.

Yeah and rttf Allan will stay Napoli. The card just wouldn't get any more upgraded even if Napoli won the CL
---

Just watched Nick's video on quitting WL lol.

This is part of the reason I enjoyed non-FUT online seasons....there wasn't a whole lot of cheesing. Like in FUT last year it was all about these 1 touch curved shots that went in from everywhere. Now its all about ball rolls, drag backs through 6 defenders and then even with open shots, they hit the post. The terrible deflection physics have been going on for a long time though. On non-FUT online you get much less of people doing all that stuff and more casuals just playing normally. Its just less stressful to play alltogether.

There will come a point where I will burn out of FUT and switch over. I'm guessing in Jan/Feb some time. Last year I started FUT in November and I burned out in March with a pretty decent team, I think I was in division 5. Non-FUT division 1. I have no idea how people play this year-around, its too much.

Sold my Suarez for like 80k lol
---

Are you on ps4 or Xbox cuz that's expensive. Suarez was sorta slow for fifa 19, I can't even imagine how much he sucks in 20.

Any specific plans for black friday FUT?

I have 115k, will be at like 160 by thursday. Saving up for that 320k nainggolan.

I still have to do national pride SBC which gives some pretty good packs. But I don't want to spend the coins to do it.

Aren't those just for people buying packs? I've decided to not use real money dis time around lol

Plus I'm not a good investor so, black friday fut won't be anything special i think
---

Nainggolan will take priority but I'm definitely doing this serie a sbc
