Haven't started WL yet. 

Got all night and all tomorrow, but as they refunded all WL points, am wondering if it's worth it.

 

Wait what? They refunded points?

[Pants McSkill]

I got a message saying they refunded WL Entry points. So I assume I have entry for next week.

[ryanski]

Lots of people were getting disconnected last night and they suspended match making for a while in the early hours of this morning. Probably explains it. 

[tenrou]

I did gotze.   Hopefully he's decent although he'll be a cam in my squad rather than a cf.  Not the cheapest if you get awful packs.

[nakamura]

If you keep him as a CF, with green or perhaps orange links he will have 10 chem at ST, CF and CAM. 

[tenrou]

I also have kroos and ucl boateng untradeable so he fits in with those players so it was worth getting him.  I'll get reus as well and they'll all link.

I read the message as they refunded points to people that had redeemed them _before_ the decision to delay the WL. So I won't get them, as I redeemed Friday. But I might be wrong? 

[gooner4life]

Think i entered after so I need to play to at least silver 1, gameplay has been really sluggish for me since the server issue though, even on clubs.

Spent about 100k and went for škriniar

20 packs opened, best pull was Müller.

 

Skriniar looks really average.  If you compare him to Chiellini, I'd still pick Chiellini.  A couple of weird picks for SBC's. But maybe that's why they do it, they don't want to blow their load with amazing players that everyone wants/gets, as they they'll not want anyone else.

 

I've got a Serie A team and I'm not bothering.

[tenrou]

Well gotze I would say is good.  It's hard to say if he's worth 120k untradeable.  Tradeable yes. 

 

I wasn't happy with some players and my defending so I paid out the 140k for van dijk.   It's hard to look at a 85 rated defender and say he should be worth the outlay but in the couple of games he's been in he has totally been worth the outlay.  He has won everything; Get van dijk

With a Shadow card has actually been very decent. I enjoyed the Serie A SBC and the packs were good. I just packed shite.

And I should say, after packing utterly nothing the last 30 pack opening, and getting nothing on my WL Player Picks, I'm feeling I deserve fireworks.

 

 

[AlfromSleep]

12 wins with 4 games left to play tomorrow. Felt the fifa rage coming on so had to stop. Last couple of losses were down to silly mistakes so only myself to blame for not having gold 3 secure with games to spare.

Good luck brother.

[ryanski]

Argh slipped out of elite 1 of squad battles with only 15mins left. Gutted. Why oh why didn't I play just one more game on legendary. 

[nakamura]

First online game in a while. Lost 5-2 with 3 rebounds. I hate rebound goals. Rarely get them 

[hannay]

I hope you pack opening had been better than mine @Pants McSkill. 6 packs for my weekly rewards and the 20 from Serie A and all very average.

[nakamura]

Here's an example to justify my moaning!

 

 

Also just packed Dries Mertins from squad rewards so listed him. Got SBC Honda too. Nakata is close....

Yeah, but Chiellini with a shadow is better! And he's so much cheaper.

 

I just find it funny how we all get caught up in the meta and make weird decisions. Like in this WL, all I seem to be playing against is Lucas, Hazard and Reus. 

[nakamura]

656k. #nakatawatch

@Keiths_DadI tried IF Pato yesterday, sold on for a 5k profit after only 5 games as I didn’t get on with him. Glad I did as his price has dropped back to what I paid in the first place. 

 

 

My 700 coin normal Pato is a 1:2 goal scorer, setting up a goal every other game as well. I'm really enjoying not ditching these players too soon this year.

[Keiths_Dad]

Opened my shitty gold pack for playing one game in squad battles this week, got TOTW Sancho. That'll do nicely.

I've regretted almost every untradeable SBC player I've ever done. Only exceptions have been FIFA 16 94 rated Suarez (wow), and last year's TOTS SBCs just because they were so fun and cheap. Rest of the time I always wished I'd kept the coins.

[Jerec]

Juanfran has been ok for me, Gotze also pretty good. But like a cheaper Reus.

 

Doing super shit in WL. My cheap team I made just wasnt cutting it, was 2 for 10. Changed team and went 4 for 12 then had some stupid defending situations and lost a lot of games by 1 goal in XT, need to work on this. Only 13 left to play and I doubt I’ll be hitting Silver 1 this weekend.

[AlfromSleep]

End of an era Pirlo on Fifa 18 was brilliant, the best SBC player I’ve had in any FUT. 

[Timmo]

I thought he was terrible but each to their own!

Cheillini is his defensive partner 

[Steely]

I have been really impressed with Scream Koke and POTM Lucas.

 

Given they were both fairly cheap and I can start both.

 

[nakamura]

Lucas is a nightmare to defend against.
