Yeah TWS - seems like Divisions is a major lag fest at the moment. Kid rarely gets an off game in WL and my games (first owners side) weren't nearly as bad as D1 games.

Good recovery Simmo!

@BB - it's a strange one - happens when we change GT's to the first owners club. Even though it's the controller 1, the cursor changes to blue - as if it's controller 2 ::).

Finished the day on 10-11.

Some really great/bad games in that session.

Brought back big Zlatan to play in behind Lou & Ron.  Steady, but pleased to have him back. Need to get used to him again.

Paid 452k for a fresh one, so probs take 100k loss if I sell in a few weeks if he goes back down to his previous level.  Not bad considering he was 1m this morning.

Did also try Nedved there but for me nothing to warrant keeping.  Back to it tomorrow/later today

Not bad Simmo. Just 8 more for that gold "standard". GL with the rest.

Re: Ibra - was amazed how quick he got back done to that level.

Kid informed me it's to do with the fact that I have the main account logged in, and then the first owners account gets logged - essentially the 2nd profile, gets the blue cursor.

After the absolute disaster that was yesterday morning, with the most unresponsive gameplay ever, I was at one point 2-6! Ended last night on 7-7, so pretty happy with that! Also played a couple of friendlies against someone that normally beats me or I draw at best. Won both, the first one a totally one sided 2-0 against Suarez and Messi.
The gamplay was like chalk and cheese. It went from being the worst ever in the morning, to being probably the smoothest I've had on 17 all year. The whole thing makes absolutely zero sense.

Yup, give me 18 now and I'll take it.  That should also take me to gold for the month, which will do for me.

I need 11 wins from 26 for the auto qualification, and would take that as well! The 25 wins i need for the gold monthly are way off! Very doubtful indeed that i'll go 18-8 tonight and tomorrow, even more so considering i've already won 5 of the past 6 and will start getting harder opponents anytime i suppose. The six wins two weekends back where I was too hungover to play is going to cost me big time I think!

I've had two teams that I've used in alternate matches so far this weekend. A mostly French thingy with SBC Gignac upfront and Ben Arfa behind. Used it in a few weekends leagues and has done ok. The other team, that I used in the weekend a while back, featuring IF Balotelli and SBC Giovinco behind him, has been much better. Has the same setup but it just seems so more potent. Might just get a squad around those two players and De Rossi, and use the hundreds of fitness cards I have on them and rotate players that fit behind them. Used to do this in the first few weekend leagues I entered and it worked. The performance levels between both teams had been very noticable between the two teams.
Maybe I'm overthinking things?

Nope - it's the only way to go to get really consistent performances.

Kiwi whats the news on sydney are you going ?

Yeah - TWS is right, the Paris one starts next weekend. Sydney is the following weekend.

Got a mail y'day confirming the squads:
Squad Restrictions and Roster Lock
There are no squad restrictions for player items, however restrictions on training items remain in place.  The accounts provided by EA for competitor use will have an identical list of players who are available in the retail version of FIFA17 at the time of the roster lock. Season 1 will be locked on January 31st, 2017 at 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time.


Kid has got his tickets booked and at this point, is going alone! Missus wants me to go, but I think the kid wants the space & do the grown-up thing. This link here has some more info - https://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/compete/events/fifa-championship-series-paris - as well as a "live" show links at the bottom. Once Paris is done, then I think they'll have the "Sydney page".

Will be watching next weekend as it is "the big one" given the amount of pros in Europe. Kid did tell me that Gorilla played MDossary (one of the best "Rest Of World" players - from Saudi) and lost against him. Competition is going to be pretty tough!

On the team side - having access to pretty much everyone, is quite daunting. Seems cool, but as we know with UT, team balance is more important that 11 legends on the pitch. At this stage, he's looking to re-use the team that got him 17th. Messi - Ronaldo with Bergkamp behind them being the key. Midfield of SBC Modric (if he can) with Veron and Pogba (NIF). Defence is NIF Alba, TOTY Ramos, Blanc and Zanetti with De Gea in goals.

It does mean using Messi again, so for the time being, we've sold off TOTY Suarez - great card & no doubt best out 'n out striker in the game - and bought TOTY Messi. Need to try him out to see the Physical upgrade on him.
