No WL for me. Whizzed through all attempts last night, getting to various stages of the tourney

Out of the 8 attempts, soundly beaten in 2 of those, the other 6, every time go into a 1,2 or even 3 goal leads then inexplicably 'momentum' swings and I end up getting screwed in the 90th or 120th min.

On the plus side the game play was great for the whole qualifiers.

Like you kiwi, enjoying SBC Torres and switching to the 41212 2 without switching in game is nice

unlucky simmo.

I tried a few div 2 games last night and the lag was terrible, well I thought it was the servers as id had sign in issues with xbox live then really bad stop start lag.  Despite that I managed to get a few games in, my griezmann less patched up la liga side felt a bit limp and lost the first game.  2nd game lost, came back from 4-1 down to 4-3 and could've equalised with serie a side.   To be honest I should never have been 4-1 down but my motivation was very low with the server issues.

Plus point of that game was it only took Muriel 2 mins to score on his debut.  He seems pretty good scored on the next match too. Managed to win that one. 

Using 89 Verratti in those games too and he seemed like a bundle of energy in midfield, covered a lot of ground.  Hard to judge with the lag though.

Having second thoughts about buying Villa now, see how the prices are tonight.   What do you expect to happen with FUT Birthday card price once WL rewards come out?  A little dip or go up? I'm relying on fact they might go down but doesn't always work like that.

Unlucky Simmo. Relaxed weekend then - at least on the FIFA front. Also, good to hear re: Torres.

Eric - re: prices, they should definitely drop when all open their packs tomorrow morning early (well, my morning, that is). I'd wait once the (rewards) pack opening is in full swing - should be at the lowest then. However, don't think it will last too long, as people with coins will start to snap them up. Sometimes that 'lowest point' could be within 10-15 min of rewards being released.

ill go with that then Kiwi, makes sense to me, as like you mention I am wary of the fact that the extra coins kicking about and the WL price rise may see that it doesn't last too long.   If I can get Villa for 300 i'd be happy with that.  (happier if I got him in a reward pack though, some chance)

Sometime between 6 and 6.30 or so this evening is when things dip a bit. People undercutting to get rid of anything valuable but they soon rebound back to normal.

I'm not sure what to do about this weekend. Have been going down the route of making a new team each week for my second team. Last week my Swiss influenced team containing Xhaka, IF Shaqiri and IF Embolo with also my pack pulled Reus and Futchamps Danny Latza, outperformed my main team! Normally have a firm plan by now, with just a couple of areas left to fill. This week it's a thought to get IF Mario Gomez during the rewards drop, maybe get the retro Blaszidhddkowski (not even going to attempt to properly spell) on the right. Behind that I got a cheap IF Pulisic from last weeks TOTW and a SIF Pisz that I snapped up when the birthday stuff smashed prices on Friday. Also could put in my Reus that I haven't sold, maybe my TOTGS Gundogan and kind of hybrid in the perfect link from Burnley of SIF Keane and SIF Heaton. They far outperformed what I expected from them last weekend.
Decision to make and will see what rewards brings. Have had a good run of IF's and walkouts from them the past couple of weeks.......

Good luck Eric. See there are already 4 newbies <330k and the lowest is now <320k. Hope the trend continues.

Rewards ... meh. Nothing of note. Gold pack from b'day SBC on main acc = Miranda, 12k. Nice return for discards in the club, but those weekly rewards have turned into utter sh!te.

Had my worst rewards for a while. Got nothing apart from Arda Turan in the three packs.
Did manage to pick up a few of this weeks IF's during the period straight after they were released. Picked up Gomez for 14k which was 8k less than he was half an hour earlier. Also got Delaney, Sinclair, and the Japanese silver guy for discard price.

IF Mario Gomez was excellent. Even though I was playing awfully, he still managed to get six goals in five games, including a stunning hat trick in the last game and a crazy weak foot thirty yarder in the first match.

The new team looks like this, in 4231(2):

IF Gomez

IF Pulisic

Reus - FB Baszycyzczkowski

TOTGS Gundogan - Luiz Gustavo

Clichy - IF Reid - SIF Keane - SIF Piszcech

SIF Heaton.

Clichy the one that I didn't want to use, could have done a couple of other things. Was considering IF Mustafi and a German LB. Schmeltzer is one I have in my club and played in one team last weekend. He isn't great though and didn't want to splash out on Mustafi and Hector or the other German IF LB. Reid did well with Keane and Heaton last week so put him in.

Not really looking forward to it though. More absolute grinding and conceding ridiculous rebounds, deflections and complete nonsensical goals galore and losing games you have absolutely no idea why!

Hopefully will do better than the 18-17/18-18 of the last three weekends, but wouldn't bet on it.

@Eric ... did you get him? See he's now 293k on FUTBIN, but not sure if that's the real price as UT is down for me across all devices.

Hey kiwi yeah I got him for 300k and got Isco as well for 147 I think.  Haven't seen villa much lower than 300 but I've overpaid a little for few other players.  Tried villa last night 2 defeats out of 2 and no goals for villa using the narrow 41212.  Have changed it back to 4312 and see if he fares any better, the servers on seasons were rubbish so that could've been a factor too.

Played first 3 WL games with my fav side the serie A one.  Won all 3 the first 2 rage quit around ht 2 or 3 down.   Team played brilliant all over and icardi and Muriel up top scoring plenty.  3rd game went a goal down and came back to win 4-1, been surprised at the positive start after form in seasons.

They've extended the wl league until Tuesday am already. Servers are worst I've had. Menus are laggy, gameplay is shocking. Button delay, strange lag, impossible to play any fluent football. Just suits the usual filthy driven passes forwards at any opportunity and feed of bounces crew. Ended up 1-2, and it really wasn't worth attempting to play on it was so bad.

I'm a bit bored of my usual teams at the moment so have chucked together a crazy team to go with the one a few posts earlier. The newest team contains SBC Griffiths at striker, SIF Scott Sinclair behind him, IF Matt Phillips at RM and Lee Cattermole at CDM! Sod the standard Martial, Walker, Kante players! I'm going to use crazy IF's and unused players and see what happens. IF I don't qualify next weekend, I don't really care. Not going to use the same damn teams and players over and over.

The last game was a 3-1 comeback win. First goals for the club by Phillips and Sinclair, plus a strike from substitute Salah sealing it.

Whilst you guys are swanning it in the WL, I'm loving seasons tonight. Super slick game play.

Sold off Messi sadly but no room in the 41212 2. Replaced him with Rui Costa. Just bought FB Villa for 290k too.  Time to test

Villa improved a little last night but not feeling that new side and stuck them all up for sale, just as new motm were released  ::) my timing is horrendous, so will lose yet more coins on this, villa being the main one, down to 275 now. 

Finished WL last night on 3-3.   Win 3 with serie A side, lose 2 with la liga side then last one with serie A side.  This has been an ongoing trend lately with la liga side so sentiment aside (bye Aduriz and co) should now have 800k to make a new team, sorta b side but not really for that money.   

Not drawn to any league in particular, maybe bundes, maybe a 2nd serie A side.  Not sure I fancy prem again yet.  Like the new higuain card though and also keen on the top lacazette card maybe paired with new Ben arfa too.

Played six more games this evening. Had to work today so not that much time and tired. Plus side of that though is that i'm off on Monday and with the extension might have an outside chance of getting the games done.
Lost and won a game each 2-0, SBC Griffiths getting his first goals for the club, and then a three goal first half rage quit win. Then the games that broke me! Three times in a row the games went all the way to penalties! Lost the first, which wasnt bad as the guy actually tried to play and deserved the win after i got lucky to get a 2-2 draw. Won the next two against guys that could well have been playing for their lives and was a total grind. Although it was very nice to shut down Ronaldo and Bale with Cattermole and Nyom!

All this left me 5-4 and enjoying using some different players, but that enjoyment being killed by the opponents horrendous playstyles.
