Guess I could stick Scream Busquets in for Isco?

[jimmmUK]

You'd be more solid at the back. Is there a reason for playing 3ATB, or purely to fit around the team?

4th week in a row where I get nothing worth more than 5k from gold 2/3 weekend league.  I also don't have a single good red card, still.

 

Same.  Tier 1 for Rivals again, Gold 3 for WL, got an 83 and 84 red for leagues I don't play in, sold everything bar a few fitness cards, in total I made about 130k* coins.  That's it.  Hardly seems worth all the effort. 

 

I've bought one player for my bench, yay.     

 

*and that's including 2 players I sold as I pulled 2 from my packs that I could upgrade...and I'm, talking my reserves here.

Yeah just using my Untradeables and this seems the only way I can get the good ones in.

[jimmmUK]

Which ones are you're untradables? I'll have a crack at making a team later for you a

 

Be good to know coin balance too!

Ive lost a lot since the update, annoyingly all to finesse shots outside the box, the games trash, it gets worse with every patch.

You're nothing without AI defending!

Woah that's some list of players! Will see what I can do. 

Any formations you're particularly against? Do you like playing with wingers, etc.?

Perfect chem, aaaah. 

 

This would cost you 420k (Ramos & Walker), but you could flog Dost, Fekir and Robben to offset 20k of it...or you could get the CL Walker for another 150k!  Or you could go mental and swap Isco for Messi...you have more than enough coins....

I play 4-3-3 (2 is it with CDM?) and like wingers and usually wing backs too to Overlap, not a fan of 442, but happy to try anything.

 

@Mitchell Nice work mate, not played the 4222 before, I take it its down the centre attacking?

[AlfromSleep]

Made some changes to my team to give Mahrez a try on the right. Walker is by far the best RB I’ve used so far, glad to finally be able to fit him in.

 

It’s a shame to bench IF Talisca and Paulinho who have been good performers for me but the current setup is defiantly more rounded. 

 

With Porto winning their group, Telles is back in at left back. Been considering IF Mane for left midfield but for 310k his stats don’t look THAT much better than Son. 

 

 

[Jerec]

What about?

 

 

[jimmmUK]

Looking good. Definitely a more balanced team than the one earlier. 

 

It's quite a challenge to fit in all your talent into one team with great chem! If you were open to spending the coins, the below is in budget: 

 

 

But then the above is a waste of everyone else you have untradeable, so I wouldn't do it! 41212(2) is a formation that a lot of the pros use - so is worth considering if you're open to dropping wingers. 

 

In other news, went for tradeable packs for my Rivals awards today. Packed Sane, who got me 90,000 coins. Means I can upgrade my Nainggolan to his CL card

 

 

[Jerec]

Nice one @jimmmUK

[MardiganX]

As Buddy the Elf would say...

 

”I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!”

 

 

Sure rhe defence needs a little work but that shouldn’t take long. I may actually go straight back into this next WL now this has been assembled.

[AlfromSleep]

Thought I was wasting my coins spending 2.3k on a Russian league keeper to complete the set...

 

From the resulting packs 

[Jerec]

Thats a nice 500k right there.

[AlfromSleep]

I’d love to fit Mbappe into my team but it would mean either a major overhaul or some serious investment. I’d need Pogba, Anderson, Lacazette and Lala to do this team. 

 

Think im better off taking the coins? Might keep him as an impact sub for the weekend league. 

[Jerec]

Sell him, should be good prices going for him now.

485k (460 after ea tax) I might as well cash in and load up my team with a few informs. Got 23k for Immobile.  

[jimmmUK]

Sell sell sell!

[Steely]

He is amazing! Use use use. 

[Steely]

At least use him as a super sub before selling. 

[AlfromSleep]

And just like that he’s gone. Now I’ve got 1.46m in coins plus a 630k starting 11. 

 

Better keep off the drink while I have the coins and this guy is about...

I have a loan version that I can use now that he’s sold. 

[AlfromSleep]

Anyone used IF Lukaku? Looks like an absolute monster, torn between him and 86 Lacazette. 

[carlospie]

Go laca 

[gooner4life]

I managed to sell inform Cancelo for 250k last night and then sniped his otw for 240k, then got stupid and sniped another otw Cancelo for 230k but it was only after that I saw his price was at pretty much an all time high... so do I keep it and hope he drops a TOTW performance or sell it and cut my losses? 

[AlfromSleep]

Bought 88 Lukaku last night, he’s formed a potent partnership with Sturridge so far. Tempted to get Hazard for LM in place of Son, no point on holding onto coins rather than building a better team. M

 

Also decided to go back to my old favourite formation. It’s much better for attacking, can be a bit vulnerable at the back but worth the risk.

I'd keep him.  He's playing regularly, he will only get better, they are favourites for their League, one of the favourites foer the CL, etc.  His card has been on the increase since October.
