the 5th time will be the winner Simmo 

Nah, neither the 6th or 7th too

Out of attempts so unless I get back to div 2 and hold tomorrow night my gold monthly dream is done

Enjoy the trip mate!! Don't drink too much ... if that's possible

do you get WL qualification for holding div 2 now?  thought you had to get promoted to do it or did they change that?

Yeah - Simmo mentioned he held D2 the other day and qualification. Think EA are trying to get more people in there!

Can't get back into div2. Going to beast it hard for a little while then early tomorrow. If not made it by lunchtime then i'll leave it. Leaves too many games to play then

Combined effort this WL ... I started on Friday night we ended up 6-2 (5-1 for me & 1-1 for the kid). By Saturday night it was 19-5 ... kid lost another 2 in the 7-odd he played, so I was around 8-1 for the day. Really had fun!

Today ... 1 started with a win before the kid took over ...

Now, I stopped taking results a few weeks back so don't quit have stats. But it sure was probably the easiest weekend! Especially the kid, ripping apart pretty much everybody in a 15 win streak - included a number of ROW Top 100 players.

We both had fun! I probably raged only a handful of times

The team ... well, well ... absolute monster of a team, must say! That's probably what made it so easy! Think the majority of teams we versed they struggled with the silvers unbalancing their teams. One of those for instance was Honurly Airbrn (made both ROW regional finals) - it was one-way traffic, kid scoring 3. He made so many people rage quit today!

So, overall 14-2 for me and 21-3 for the kid ... 35 wins with a decent skill rating, might just be good enough for Top 100 after all the WL hype.

The team ...


... and subs - have to mention Meite & Farias - amazing. Farias was a super-sub in one of my games - scored 4 and took MOTM. Next game, subbed in again, scored 2 and once again MOTM. Great card!

Had a bit of unexpected free time earlier and have moved on to 12-9. Lost the first game on penalties (should have won it), won the next four, and lost the last one 2-1, and somehow missed an open goal, so should be at a couple more wins really.
Hopefully I'll be able reel off some quick wins later.

In one team I've been using TOTT Steeve Yago, Tongo Doumbia and Diego Contento. Doumbia has been a solid CDM, Yago a steady, if unspectacular RB, and Contento a LB who seems to play anywhere but LB. He can't shoot so when he decides to pop up at striker a couple of times a game, he has no hope of scoring!

The other team I'm using Molla Wague at CB, PotY Watkins as an attacking CDM and my red Futchamps Josh King at striker. Wague is an excellent, rock at the back, Watkins feels like a gold, and after a bad start with King, he's started scoring and assisting consistently.
Has actually been quite fun destroying awful silver pacey fullbacks and dreadful silver keepers.

Managed the standard Gold 3 finish ending with 18-13. Had lots of time left to try for Gold 1 or 2 but was done with trying to defend against the most OP card in FUT history!

I actually quite liked this weekend league. Didn't play against Walker once, and was fun taking on and attempting to destroy the weak links, mainly dodgy fullbacks that a lot of people were deploying. 4231(2) is the perfect formation for remaining strong in the centre of your defence for stopping the 4321 and 41212(2) counter attacks, whilst also giving you lots of width to double up on weak, low stamina full backs.
Made a change to play against some different players.

On to the negatives. Butland. I swear he saves even more since the last patch. Him making double figure saves whilst I concede one or two goals from the three shots on my goal probably accounted for 4 or 5 of the losses. Games where you are completely on top yet he is superhuman and your keeper is a potato!

The other thing that was annoying about this weekend, and will be the new menace for the rest of FUT17. The new Son card. Seriously this guy is harder to stop than any other player in FUT history. Ronaldo, Messi, anyone has nothing on him. Whether its the combination of traits, weak foot, skill moves and stats, I'm not sure. EA have created a monster! And because he is so cheap to get, I reckon three out of every four games were against him. It doesn't matter however bad the opponent is, you are never more than two seconds away from conceding a goal. Anywhere within 35 yards, one slight mistake or misplaced step with your defender and it's a goal!
You seriously can't fully defend with any confidence against him. Maybe he isn't better than a TOTY Ronaldo, but you very rarely face him, but when Son is destroying you every game he just seems much harder. I got to the stage where my main tactic against him is just destroy him. Kick the crap out of him. There really is no other way!
EA have seriously messed up making him so cheap I think. Will be absolutely everywhere until 18 comes out. Bring back Musa!

Well, now for the first time in div 1 this year and with it weekend league qualification.

Should've won div 2 but drew the last game.

Now on 3rd attempt at Siggurdson. Would be nice but not essential
