The dream or should I say the nightmare has ended.

If I ever qualify again I will not be leaving any games for the Sunday. Truly poop game play. Mind you Friday or Saturday ain't much better. At least that way the crap out of the way early leaving a free day to chill out

Thankfully it's continued well for me, only one 4 game losing streak to cause alarm but I made gold 2 with 3 games to spare, that's what I was aiming for after good start.  Finished  on gold 2 for monthly as well.

The game that sealed gold 2 I went 1-0 up after 9 mins and the opponent just paused and quit, great to get over the line without so much of a fight in that match.

I'm bashing out these tourney attempts like there's no tomorrow.

Semi's aplenty but no joy so far. Bothered... nah. Its just nice to have a reasonable game speed

Anyone tried 89 Thiago? Thinking about replacing Vidal

Just bought him last night, but not tried as yet.

Ah would fancy trying him too.   I used the 88 as a CM in my la liga side, I don't think you get the best out of him there but he did show some nice movements/dribbles with his 5* skills.   I think he'd be best used as a CAM.   A little weak for that position.

I was keen to get the new Abate but read a couple reviews saying he wasn't anything great, so I might see if I can get Verratti into my Serie A side instead.    Need to consider options as wouldn't mind trying the new David Villa card either.

Well, built a 433(5) team - 89 Verratti at LCM and 89 Thiago at RCM. Love them - both. Verratti being the midget that he is, can obviously keep it very close, so when you want to slow it down, it's so easy to do so.

Can feel the quality of Thiago too, but then I've not played much with his others IF's - just a handful of games with his NIF. Kid did play with his 86 a bit as a super sub and really likes him in that role.

Had a bunch of games this evening, so alternated between 2 F9 teams. The main one (with those 2) has an average 86 passing & 87 dribbling - across the team. Ridiculous stats on the 2 Verratti & Thiago cards. Pretty much got me to 3 consecutive finals. 2nd one I gave away as I wanted to keep playing on the FUT Champs servers. Last one was a comfortable ride in - think I played 65-odd game minutes across the first 3 games. Final was comfortable most of the way leading 2-0 from early.

Overall very enjoyable evening - 10-2 with a number of rage quits. Part of me is thinking I need to go back to a 433 formation to have the passing triangles. I think I'm really struggling to get anything really going with 41212 or 4312 formations.

Won the daily tornament first go after my 29 second rage quit in the first round yesterday. 3-1, 3-2 and 2-0 wins today. Final was fun. Robert Huth kept Hero Podolski, Reus and Cuadrado completely quiet, and second half goals from Elia and SBC de Jong winning it.

Internet was down on Monday night but thankfully resurrected last night so I came on and with urge to add some new players I started to change a couple things with my teams.

TIF Gomez departed the Serie A side.  I did like his performances but his finishing is largely cr@p and Muriel according to reviews has excellent finishing so I've brought him in instead.   Into the midfield I have picked up 89 Verratti who I should be able to fit in, although the most obvious candidate to replace would be Naingollan im not so keen on that.

Big changes afoot in La Liga side too.  I tentatively decided I would pursue 'birthday' Villa, and to finance I have parted with Griezmann! and worse still James Rodriguez.  Two great servants for my Spanish side but if im to get Villa in then I figure ill need a Spanish CAM which may well mean a return IF Thiago, only this time the new card.   Still figuring out how im going to do it, the latest Casemiro might need to go to facilitate this as well.   That's my job for work today, figure out what the heck im going to do.

Looking forward to playing tonight though with all the new players.   Not bought Villa yet either as hoping the price will come down when the new TOTW released too.

Played across both accounts. Had this thought that I'd try qualify on a/c #2. Lost in the final there - 2 x B'Day Doumbia goals. Yep - sweat fest and cringed at all the through balls. Anyhoo ... might try again tonight though.

Moved to the Torres Team. Not sure what it is, but I really get on well with the F9 formation. I've always like a *1-2 formation, but the 3 (mostly narrow) midfield always struggle with that. Unfortunately 3 atb is just too exposed to people simply wanting to run down the wing - constantly. I wonder if they see 3 atb and automatically go "I'll just run down the wing all game".

Also, kid pointed out that 4312 is just too effective for straight down the middle play 1-2's the whole game. Pro's obviously prefer that and use/switch to 41212 (2) to get the benefit of the CDM.

Torres ... damn it's a good card. Thoroughly enjoying him.
