I'm stopping playing on a Friday. For me opposition on Fridays seem to always be harder. Not sure the reason or whether its in my head.

Absolutely nothing from rival and weekend league rewards and my player picks were awful. Its actually becoming laughable 😂

Some card. I've still had f**k all.

Thought the weekend league was a real grind. Really struggled. Finished on 11 wins but had to win 5 or 6 from my last 8 games.

See I have done in the past, not for a couple of FIFA's apart from the odd pack on very rare occasions. I think they definitely monitor behaviour of players in regards to buying FIFA points and pack luck. Criminal really.

I've had terrible, terrible pack luck this year. Best was IF Lewandowski, untradeable. Other than that, I can't recalling packing anything that has been worth more than 100k. I have never, in 4/5 years of playing Ultimate Team, packed an Icon. Best pull ever was TOTY De Bruyne last season, on a whole though I don't have much luck.

I am cooking for 6 this year.. I have the mother in law and her husband over. You will find me in the kitchen with a glass of red wine trying not to f**k everything up.

Did EA dish out a free pack last Christmas Day based on how much many hours you have played? Or am I completely imagining that?

17 wins this weekend. Got to14 wins with 10 games left and made an arse of it. Always pleased with 14 or above though.

I would genuinely play Hernandez instead of Hummels in the weekend league. You need more pace at the back, you will come up against these PL fanboys playing with 3 90+ pace forwards. I've struggled to get the balance at the back right but I found Nesta and Hummels too slow, even sitting as deep as possible, I still find Hernandez gets me out of trouble a fair bit.

Rewards were OK. A couple worth around the 30K mark plus Gervinho IF. Player picks were honking again. Did the Champions Premium SBC with all the dross I've had from player picks, choice between two GK's or Kroos with his magical 42 pace. Had to laugh. Mayos that's some unbelievable pack luck.

Finished on 14 wins this weekend. Had three games remaining but just didn't have the notion to play them. Futmas Witsel is a cracking card, didn't cost me a thing either. Apart from Reus TOTW, I don't particularly think I can improve this team from a Bundesliga point of view. I don't know whether to go for the Reus card or save for another Icon at CB. Herndandez is quality for an 84 rated card.

I have Neuer. Seems pretty inconsistent, saves a lot but they often rebound to a strikers feet. That's more likely the game than Neuer. My problem is a decent RB. There seems to be a shortage of good RBs with decent links in the game. Edit; I was using Kimmich who was steady enough but I use his CDM card which is quality.

Comfortable 14 wins this weekend. Its becoming a massive drag doing it though. Stayed away from the black Friday stuff on the most part, my squads Bundesliga so I did do the 81+ squad upgrade..

That's exactly what it will be. 😑
