Stopped at 19-13. Could have got Gold 2 but had had enough. Got
the extra win as that got me up to Gold for the month.
Gignac and Ben Arfa were so so good together.

Hope the rest went well mate.
I continued with the 2nd account, with the kid chipping in every
so often. Managed to get to 18 wins - thankfully. Had about 10
games remaining, but Gold 3 was the aim (qualification). Tough,
tough going with the one OK team and a 2nd that would struggle
in D3!
On the main account, kid finished 17th for the weekend &
currently sitting in 60th for monthly. Still need another good
weekend though to confirm it. That's his 1 goal this FIFA - get
1 Top 100 Monthly finish.

Do you notice any differences in type or strength of opponent
between the two accounts?
I struggle to get above division 3 and have only won two daily
tournaments but can comfortably qualify each week by getting to
gold 3 with games to spare. Some of the opponents i face are
absolutely terrible. Really don't know how they qualify! Or
maybe its that i do well against these terrible guys that do
nothing but blind driven passes to to a 90+ pace front three,
but they can trouble the sort of player that beats me,
contrasting styles and that?

Interesting one ...
The kid qualified first time on #2 quite easily too. Once again,
we've had some decent pulls in there - OP - Smalling & Kante to
quality - Firmino & Ben Arfa. But, when you're playing Oscar at
CAM (4312), you know it's going to be a struggle. One of the
worst cards I've used in '17 so far!
IMO, when you start a WL I believe that ELO rating is reset. So,
you're playing random players for the first 4-8 games. On #2, we
lost against some pretty ordinary players - nothing better or
worse than on #1. We were 3-3 so I think at that stage the next
few games were against easier opposition, albeit with stacked
teams.
I'm not taking any records on this one, but I reckon we won
about 7/8 of the next 10 games & then we started getting matched
with reasonable opponents. However, nothing to the level that
the kid was on #1. I would have easily recognised club
names/gamer tags.
So, whilst thinking & typing this up, I would say the
competition is a little easier, but it does have to do with
'less consistency' on our part too.

Got two PSV 3rd kits, and the usual Tello and Di Miao who I
always get and in the final pack, and IF, in the weekly rewards.
Obviously the IF was Westwood though.

With the kid's finish, we were wondering if it would be good to
open the packs or wait. A few surprise additions meant it would
be 'ok' to open.
Best of the IF's were Icardi, Thiago, Sneijder, Reid and Al
Soma. Best of the 100k packs were Hero Guzman (nice addition to
the Argie side), Koscielny, Cavani, Lukaku and Gaitan (still 15k
for him!). Calc'ed it out to around 480k.
For the 4 weeks of Dec, he's now topped another 2M in returns :o
:o :o!
At this rate, I'll never have to buy FIFA points again :D

Games on the main account finished for the weekend - kid
finished on 33-7.
He did struggle a bit this week though. Went through a patch
where finishing, passing was off. Still got a wins there - even
a 6-0 thumping of a past Top 100 ROW player. But it was games #
31 & 32 - 2 losses that hurt.
Overall for the month, sitting on 172 wins - currently 32nd with
a day and 90 minutes to go. He's really hoping that it will be a
quiet weekend and can remain in the Top 100. Rewards for that
are insane!

I couldn't be bothered this weekend. Got to 8 wins and silver 3
and still had 27 games left but already had Gold for the month.
Just couldn't muster up the will for a couple of long sessions
against teams with 8 defenders and three sprinters left upfront
on get in behind, supplied by blind driven passes.
Problem is i probably won't be able to win the daily tournament
to qualify again now! But if I can't, won't be too bothered. I
know that I can comfortably get Gold 2 or 3 every week. Before I
qualified for the first time, this is what I wanted to find out!
Wonder what three red discard IF's I'll end up getting for the
past four weekends of stress!

Yeah mate - said to the kid that with 12 hours to go, we
couldn't drop lower than 50. So, when we woke up and were under
that ... "the excitement grew!".
It does mean it ticks a box for the kid to finish 100th, then
50th and finally 17th (weekend before last) and now a Top 100
Monthly finish. He's done very well!
