The 22 wins were mostly tough wins, but some of the losses were
stupid/not deserved/dodgy/etc. So, all kinda balances out.
So ... Gold 2 = 2 Rare Mega packs and 1 gold rare pack + 45k in
coins. Packs weren't amazing, but reckon there was about 45k
worth of players & contracts & discards, etc. So 90k back from
some stressful games ... no going to complain.

Some very mixed form yesterday. Failed to qualify for FUT
champions once again, which is probably a blessing in disguise!
Division 4 was also a very mixed bag, but managed to get the two
points I needed from the final two games to survive this
morning, with a 2-2 (16 shots to 3 in my favour), and a 4-2 win
(4 shots to 15, not in my favour!) Standard FIFA 😁

Played only two last night, a draw (90th minute own goal >:( )
and a win. Not very enjoyable opponents. The same one
dimensional play as always: pick uop the ball, run to the other
side, cut back...either hsoot or give pass to striker. And
repeat this 20 times in a match....we call them 'runners'.

After the kid finished the Champions Cup games, I played some
division games (solo). We were in D2 with 2 wins ... managed
another 5 wins on the trot for a D2 title.
After playing a few Drafts - been a bit easy (co-op) to be
honest - but, we have used IF Pogba for 2 of them & he's been
"bloody brilliant"! The last team had 86-chem and we still
walked the 4 games.
So ...
... "The things we do for our kids" ...
Sold off pretty much 90% of the club & welcomed this guy in last
night:

I think a hat trick against Liverpool will suit me pretty well
:P .Really though, this one we'll keep for Generations, etc.
Certainly hope he doesn't do a "Milik" - that was pretty harsh
for him!

@kiwi, so messi is gone : ) in favor of pogbitho ?
@tws, "blessing in disguise" - loved that, i also could not
qualify, and 2 kids with a wife non stop talking about her hate
on fifa will not let me to play 40 anyway : )
seems like there is no use of silver players right - or bronze
for that matter, i had a silver team i should be selling then...

Been a bit of a struggle for me. I have lost seven finals in the
daily tournament, more than one by comical goals. Have probably
also played more seasons in divisions than the whole of FIFA 16
already! Got up consecutively to division 4, apart from two
tries in Division 8 I think in the first couple of days. Since
reaching Division 4, I've got stuck there, winning a couple of
times to save myself in the final match, having a shot at
promotion in the final match a couple of times also. Having a
couple of dead seasons where I held comfortably.
Managed to get relegated on Saturday though. Have been
struggling really. Find it difficult to score consistently. So
many games finish 0-0, 1-1 or 1-0 either way. Have altered my
tactics a bit since the relegation. Trying to get more players
in the box, rather than my 10-10-10 on the chance creation
getting frustrated so often by the negative play. Seemed to work
a bit as yesterday I walked division 5 and held in division 4
again, with only a couple of absolute BS games involving park
the bus and rebounds to Remy making things more difficult.
Top scorer, assister and appearance maker has been Juan Mata at
mostly false 9 so far. He has about 60 goals and and 30+
assists.

I managed to drag myself up to Division 3 after what seemed like
an eternity in Division 4. After losing the first two matches,
went unbeaten for the remaining eight games, with 4 wins and 4
draws.
Team has slowly evolved and changed but at present is this in a
false 9:
PotM Son - Mata - Tello
Schweinsteiger - Borja Valero
IF N'Zonzi
Clichy - Mangala - Rami - Mario Gaspar
Diego Alves
Rami and Mata have been there since the start, as has N'Zonzi,
although I have upgraded to his IF now. Will be changing Mata to
Roberto Firmino as he has started to be slightly less effective
in Division 4 due to his lack of strength. Gets bullied more
now, although he has still been performing. Of course this will
mean more changes, but pretty certain N'Zonzi stay.
Have used a number of players in a constantly changing
cup/fitness team. At present I have a 4231 with IF Al Soma, IF
Carlos Eduardo and IF Sule. That has been fun to use in the 5
games it has played. Al Soma is pretty good!

Good one mate.
For us, with some 'better' focus on D1, finally won it. I had a
decent run the previous night (4-0-1), then won the first 2 of
the night. The 2nd being (IMO) a damned good comeback. Down 2
goals to one of those that likes to slow it down and continually
drag it back. Was worse when he went that 2nd goal up, trying to
use up as much time as possible.
Just before HT though, goals through Eder & Candreva levelled it
up. Could immediately see the urgency, but the funny thing is he
never went off ultra defensive. When Firmino flicked it forward
past his CB (still a bit wide though), he had plenty time to
pass to Bergkamp just outside the box. Never a doubt as he
smashed it bottom left corner, with 20 min to go. He still never
went attacking. Was concerned with one corner - as it was
cleared out, he never even had a man forward. Weird.
Kid joined me for the remaining games. Won the first
comfortable, then only managed a draw in the next. Needing just
a draw for the first D1 title, we gave the first team a fitness
and romped home to a 4-1 easy win. Never in doubt ... :D.
Enjoying seasons probably a bit more than previous. It's not all
try hards like last year - seems like people leave that for the
Weekend League.

I have been doing the SBC lately and got some great pulls from
packs like Bonucci, Higuain, Koscielny, etc. Bought some players
too and made two teams in the web app. Than it took me 3 weeks
before I had the nerf to run FIFA17 again :P
Played 3 games last night and I made the promise with myself not
to get mad anymore but take it on the chin. First game I get
down pretty quickly and the second goal is a walk-in own goal of
Bonucci. Right, 8 minutes under the way and 2-0 down. It is my
serie A team and the debut of Higuain. So I keep on playing and
make it to midway with 2 down. Than teh game starts and before I
know it is it 3-0 and soon to be followed to 4-0. However, I was
actually playing pretty well and I bring it back to 4-1 with
Higuain soon to be followed by a Marchisio long shot 4-2. I miss
an one-on-one so couldn't put the third one behind. Oh well. bad
start in result but I must admit I liked the way I played and
moreover, how my opponent played. Second game with BPL team. His
Mertens (42 strength) pushes my Zouma ( 85 strength) from the
ball ::). Nothing has changed, 1-0 down. This guy watch all the
replays, and with all I mean ALL. Even the misses, fouls,
offside, etc. When he makes it 2-0 I put down the controller
just to piss him off. When I return it is still 2-0 ...crazy how
some people cannot score against the AI but against me no
problem. That made me think...
Third game. Serie A again. Tight fight. I leave my defenders
alone and hardly switch to them anymore. The auto tackle is
ridiculous good. I don't get into trouble but I have hard time
breaking him too. We both roll 4312 and the midfield is too
dense. The class of Higuain brings me the winner.
All in all nice evening. A different mindset does help...
