Gave this a go based off your post and it's brilliant. Was missing a comedy style football podcast since Athletico Mince has slowed down a bit. Henning Wehn and Craig Cash episodes in particular had me in bits. Will need to give their other podcasts a go one I'm caught up with this one.

Gotten back into play this for the first time in ten years and having a rare time. I've been playing this on xbox as its free on the gamepass, thinking about switching over to the full version. Anyone got experience playing on both? Is there any difference in the match engine? Scared to start again on pc as I have found a tactic that is working for me on the xbox version! Might just stick with my current save on xbox for the rest of the year if there is going to be another massive learning curve.

My last post in this thread was February 6th and I don't think I've even switched fifa on since then. I was getting to the point where the gameplay was a chore and finding quite stressful. Its supposed to be fun, FFS. Been playing football manager since then and having a great time. Can't see me ever coming back to playing regularly this year.

Any luck before 6? Last year I gutted my whole club doing the upgrades but I never bothered this year! Not playing champs this weekend. Still had to finish the squad battles stuff for the swaps tokens. Finished last night and got mid Nedved. Meh. I'm just going to save up for a TOTY Messi now.

Packed another TOTY from the premier league sbc tonight. Four packed this year for me. I've not really touched the upgrade sbcs bar recycling duplicates. Its definitely easier to pack them this year!

Packed an icon from marquee matches tonight and have managed to go 10/2 in champs in an hour and a half. Got given 4 wins and three or four quit when I scored first!

Here's my team now. Although my club is still full of rare golds and common golds after opening so many packs so will probably kick the arse out of upgrades for the next week. Managed to complete Varane just with stuff from my club after opening all my packs.

I got three tonight. Cancelo and Lewandowski tradable so punted them on. Donnarumma untradable that goes straight in the team. Got no ideacwhat to spend the coins on!

I'm still plugging away. Playing champs every second week and not bothering with rivals some weeks to pick up objectives players which is keeping it fresh for me. Gameplay wise, I'm doing really well. Went 14/4 this weekend in champs with a full untradable squad. 150 odd packs saved for TOTY and 1.1 million in the bank to build a super team after!

I think I've been play fifa wrong all these years. I thought you could only trigger a run with lb/L1 when you were passing the ball. I never realised I could just press it at any time! I just need to learn how to use it properly now. Mind blowing stuff

I've patched weekend league and just fannying about doing sbcs and playing for the milestone players this weekend and had a rare time. Think it was the repetitiveness of doing rivals then champs qualifiers then champs finals which was boring me. One weekend of fannying about with objectives and the game is suddenly fun again!

The market is so fucked. Messi was going for about 360k last night. He was about 700k about two weeks ago! Played a few games of rivals last night and the gameplay is an absolute mess and servers are shocking. You can tell by how quiet this thread is that they've fucked it this year.

The matchmaking last night was horrendous. Was taking ten mins to find games! Ended up 12/4 but chucked the last 4 games to take rank 2. Losing interest in playing this game earlier than ever.

Not touching the icon pack either after getting milito in the heroes one. I'll wait for the next one once I've built up more fodder. What's the script with the new season? Do we stay in the same division or are we getting punted back down? Not kept up with how it works this year!

Got my two wins given to me last night. Saved any hassle I suppose! Got red marquinhos so rejigged the squad to fit him in.
