I’ll take it!

[Mitchell]

I got Thiago, Kompany and Mertens from my packs. Not too shabby. All.sold!

[AlfromSleep]

Just waiting to get home for my picks 

[Steely]

MM are a crock of shit. I think that was 3 rare golds maximum, out of 4 sbc's.

[AlfromSleep]

Bernardo Silva red card, not too bad I guess. 

[Keiths_Dad]

Bailly red card and some shitty keeper I never heard of. I'll never use either of them.

I got this from Silver 1, can’t use, sbc fodder.

Snap snap.

 

But at least I had him on my bench, so I could sell that Gold card and keep this one.

Horrible night tonight. 2 draws and two losses. Played average but got totally fucked over with bad player selections at the back at crucial times, like in injury time.

I had a look at fitting him in but i already have to accommodate untradeable LM, RM, and RB lol, pretty soon my whole lineup will be unchangeable. 

 

What kind of cards are these player picks classed as? i noticed this Szczesny card has the same stats as his IF, wondering if we could use it for an IF sbc...

[Jerec]

Hmm... not amazing.

[Keiths_Dad]

How's Firmino not in there with his fangs, and Ribery with his slasher face?

 

Anyway, Biscuits, Mandzukic and Veratti look good, rest shite. Fair assessment?

[nakamura]

More to life than the premier League, you get enough of those cards. 

[Jerec]

The Barca CDM would be good for my team, but of course that’s the rarest card to get, which is just the way my luck pan’s out.

 

[Steely]

Crap, I'd only use Buscuits.

[Pants McSkill]

Yeaaaaaahhhhhh... I'l definitely take that for my first ever WL match.

 

[Jerec]

Looked like a busy match, almost 50/50 possession.

[Bennette98]

Is there matchmaking in WL or is it just anyone plays anyone?

 

Is it possible for a poor player to get say 25 wins in a week because their opponents are also quite poor (due to matching players of similar ability)?

[Mitchell]

You get matched to similar ability, but as your skill level creeps up, so would the standard of your opponent.

I'm going to try weekend league this week as I have a few hours spare.

No it goes on form, so you start off on 0 and have 5 placement games, at which point it starts using the below.

 

if you win 2 in a row you will play someone who’s on +2 this goes all the way to +15 at which point you could get matched with someone who’s +28.

 

it also goes the other way, so if you’re on a losing streak then it will match you against similar.

 

 

[Keiths_Dad]

Nice one gooner. I tried looking it up last week but couldn't find anything. 

[jimmmUK]

What's a good aim for a first ever weekend league? Silver 1?

[Mitchell]

Whatever nets you the most WL points, so you don't have to bother qualifying again!  So yeah, SIlver 1.

 

[Keiths_Dad]

I think Silver 1 is the first rank that your TOTW player pick isn't capped to 84 rated as well. You still won't get what you want, mind.

[AlfromSleep]

I’m not doing the WL this time around, back in next week though.

 

Up to just over 220k now, will see what promo packs are up when the scream drops (not that’s there’s any of them that I’d really use at the moment). 

[Jerec]

Might leave most of my games until Sunday, seem easier then. All the pro's are done and dusted by that point.

[tenrou]

Started 4 and 1.  I've been lucky to win 2 of those though so I feel there will be some games that the opposition will squeak me as the luck will be against me.

Gets a bit boring seeing the same old faces in these things!
