635: TrailBREAKERS!?

[00:00:01] Hello, FUTEES, and welcome back and even welcome back for the second time today to FUT IN REVIEW episode 635.

[00:00:11] We are recording this on Friday, the 1st of November. My name is John and today it is time for the second Trail Blazers team.

[00:00:21] We take on your opinions about the changes in rifles with the crew, discuss the La Liga play over the month as we see.

[00:00:27] Check out the Common Unity Team of the Week. We come back to the giveaway for the new cap I'm wearing right now,

[00:00:35] which we've got dozens and dozens of send-ins, but only one right answer somehow.

[00:00:42] And of course you can buy that cap on FUTIN REVIEW.com if you want as well.

[00:00:47] And I'm not doing it alone. I'm joined by the Mr. FUT database.

[00:00:50] He's back from a week of slumber and he promised us not to press any buttons for the remainder of this show.

[00:00:56] It's none other than Yngwie.

[00:00:59] Hello, hello.

[00:01:01] Hello, Yngwie.

[00:01:02] Raise your hands. Have you touched the button tonight?

[00:01:05] I won too many. So I'm going slow now.

[00:01:10] Okay, perfect. You alright buddy?

[00:01:12] I'm good, yes. I'm good. Thank you.

[00:01:14] Awesome.

[00:01:16] Joining the team on Friday night, completing the Friday crew.

[00:01:19] It is not Chris. It is the man which we're going to give a new nickname today.

[00:01:24] It is the FUT Doctor of Tactics.

[00:01:27] It's Nondondor 10.

[00:01:29] Art, John. Welcome back, Art.

[00:01:30] Good evening, John. Good evening, Yngwie.

[00:01:32] Good evening, FUTIs guys. You missed me, so I'm back.

[00:01:35] And I'm glad to be here on Friday evening with you guys.

[00:01:38] It's good to have you on a Friday. Next week we'll record a new The Art of Food show, which is of course the Patreon exclusive show.

[00:01:47] Any hints on what you want to talk about next week, Art?

[00:01:50] Hell no. You have to wait. But this is one more reason to join the Discord, to become a Patreon member and then you will find out.

[00:01:59] But what we discuss is basically we discuss only the gameplay issues or tactics or anything that can help you improve in the game.

[00:02:07] And definitely the most important thing that we're discussing how to have fun playing the game.

[00:02:14] Yeah, definitely. Very important to have fun.

[00:02:17] Also important, I have noticed this week that it is very smart and important to actually pay attention to what the promotion is called.

[00:02:28] I've been calling this promotion in all my text, tweets, messages, mentions on the show.

[00:02:35] And of course, I do a daily show these days, so I've mentioned it a lot.

[00:02:37] I kept saying, Trill Breakers. And it took me a long while, but someone mentioned that last year we did a show called Trill Breakers, which was all about Trill Blazers.

[00:02:49] But somehow that first one kept being stuck in my head.

[00:02:53] So I read done all the text descriptions, episode names this week, and it's now Trill Blazers number two.

[00:03:00] But maybe for the fun of it, I will call tonight's episode Trill Breakers.

[00:03:04] Let's see what happens if people like this.

[00:03:08] Sometimes things can get stuck in your mind, Archum.

[00:03:10] You just can't get rid of it somehow.

[00:03:14] You know, like if you have a...

[00:03:15] No, never mind.

[00:03:16] I want to talk about songs, but I've been to a kids museum all day now, so I have a kid song in my mind.

[00:03:21] So yeah, one of those days.

[00:03:23] Yngwie!

[00:03:24] Yeah.

[00:03:25] And of course, Archum.

[00:03:26] I want to discuss something first this week.

[00:03:29] Yesterday, I spoke on the Food & Review shorts about the new season, the changes they made to rivals.

[00:03:35] The fact that it's a shorter season and what I thought of the rewards.

[00:03:39] And I would love to have your guys' unbiased opinions.

[00:03:43] Do you think the rewards are good or not good or anything in between for this season?

[00:03:47] And what do you think about having only to grind for 35 points over 45 points before?

[00:03:56] Let's start with Yngwie.

[00:03:57] Yes, 35 points.

[00:04:00] Nice.

[00:04:01] Err.

[00:04:01] Step in the right direction.

[00:04:03] Nice.

[00:04:04] Err.

[00:04:06] Shortly.

[00:04:07] Yeah.

[00:04:07] Precisely what he wants to say, so...

[00:04:10] Yeah.

[00:04:11] Yeah.

[00:04:12] So that's good for all both of you?

[00:04:14] Well, regarding the rival points, rivals' points, I think they're going to the right direction.

[00:04:21] The 15 wins in rivals where you meet basically the opponents on your level or even higher.

[00:04:28] But, you know, it's tough for every casual to play and get those points, you know, those 45 points.

[00:04:35] So those were too many points to get during the week.

[00:04:40] Especially you have a job, family and stuff, you know.

[00:04:42] You just want to play two, three games or four games per day.

[00:04:45] And not all of them are going to win.

[00:04:48] So, you know, I think it's a good way to, as Yngwie said, step in the right direction from them.

[00:04:55] It just shows that they listen to community a little bit of this.

[00:05:00] Yeah.

[00:05:00] I could give a counter argument, but I'm so afraid to say anything negative about these changes.

[00:05:06] What do you mean regarding the points?

[00:05:08] Yeah.

[00:05:09] Okay, go ahead.

[00:05:10] So I'm afraid, looking at my, not only my own experience, but okay, let's reflect it to my own experience.

[00:05:17] I've been playing some games and I got 35 points yesterday already, on the first day.

[00:05:21] Huh?

[00:05:23] Normally, I would be playing more rivals at least to get the 45 points.

[00:05:27] But now I'm like, hey, you know what?

[00:05:28] It's actually good for this week.

[00:05:30] Am I not making it more harder on the casual players because they keep running into me next week as well?

[00:05:36] Instead of me going towards the ranks after a season relegation.

[00:05:42] Normally, the 45 points would put me over the edge into Div 2, I think, on a regular basis.

[00:05:47] Now I'm in Div 3, all the way around.

[00:05:51] I'm now in Div 3 and I normally I expected to be in Div 2 now with 45 points.

[00:05:56] All right, Jon, but you're saying that you're basically winning all the games simply and getting those 35 points and getting promoted to division higher, right?

[00:06:04] Yeah, I didn't win all of them, but I did win a fair percentage.

[00:06:08] Yeah, but even those 35 points will get you promotion.

[00:06:11] I got promoted, but not to Div 1.

[00:06:14] Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[00:06:14] It's not necessary to get those 45 points to get promoted.

[00:06:17] No, but normally a promotion would probably get me into Div 1 already now, I think.

[00:06:24] That's what I'm thinking.

[00:06:25] Aren't you guys afraid?

[00:06:26] Let's put it that way.

[00:06:28] Aren't you guys afraid that people will be stuck or be sitting in lower divisions for a little bit more longer, especially on these short seasons?

[00:06:37] That's the question actually.

[00:06:39] Sorry, if I go first.

[00:06:41] That's the question actually you have to answer yourself if people are playing for rewards or they're playing rivals just to play the game.

[00:06:47] If they're playing rivals and want to get to the Division 1 elite right away, they're going to do it.

[00:06:51] They're going to do it no matter what.

[00:06:53] They're not going to stop because they got the 35 points.

[00:06:56] You know what I mean?

[00:06:57] If somebody is playing only to get those 35 points and get the rewards on Thursday morning, you basically will meet him maybe one week extra.

[00:07:09] But I don't think it's a huge problem because we still have a huge base of players, right?

[00:07:15] So the chances that you will meet the player who is better than you, it's just like...

[00:07:20] Okay.

[00:07:21] It's usually playing the same level of players, no matter what.

[00:07:24] If you got relegated from Division 3 to Division 5, I think it was two divisions that they dropped us.

[00:07:30] Two, yes. I went from one to three.

[00:07:31] So you're still playing the same players, basically same level.

[00:07:35] Ah, fair enough. Fair enough.

[00:07:37] That's what I think.

[00:07:39] I mean, but the thing is, if you don't have a time during one week to play, to get those 15 wins, 12 sounds better, right?

[00:07:47] No matter what.

[00:07:48] Fair enough. Yeah, I guess.

[00:07:50] Okay.

[00:07:51] Just playing some Devleth, my own experience from yesterday, I was like, oh, I'm already there.

[00:07:55] Didn't quite expect that of one evening.

[00:07:57] It went well though, right?

[00:07:58] And I will play because I do want to get back ASAP.

[00:08:02] Exactly.

[00:08:03] It just was like, oh, I'm already...

[00:08:05] It actually felt like I'm already there, which was like a Thursday evening.

[00:08:08] That's the first time that happened.

[00:08:11] Okay.

[00:08:11] Happy you are.

[00:08:13] I'm always happy, mate.

[00:08:15] Envy, what about the rewards itself?

[00:08:17] Last time I asked you, you terminated the connection, so keep it shorter.

[00:08:22] The season's rewards, I think they're quite boring, bad.

[00:08:28] Well-known copy-paste players.

[00:08:29] So, yeah.

[00:08:32] I'm hoping for a better next season.

[00:08:35] What about Mahler and Grealish?

[00:08:38] Yeah, what I said, copy-paste, boring choices.

[00:08:41] Okay.

[00:08:42] Players are okay, but still, yeah, still boring.

[00:08:46] Alright.

[00:08:47] Art, anything from you on the reward side?

[00:08:49] I don't care about those.

[00:08:50] No, I mean neither.

[00:08:51] I don't play for rewards.

[00:08:52] I stopped playing for rewards like two years ago.

[00:08:55] It's just like, I don't care.

[00:08:58] Yeah, I said-

[00:08:58] You know what?

[00:09:00] To be honest, one thing.

[00:09:02] At least I don't have to grind like crazy to the end, you know, because there's nothing waiting for me there.

[00:09:07] So, I'm cool.

[00:09:09] Okay, they screwed this up with the rewards.

[00:09:11] But let's just be honest.

[00:09:12] It's not a great season for us, for anybody who's playing the game, but I just don't care.

[00:09:18] Yeah, fair enough.

[00:09:19] I'm the same.

[00:09:20] We'll just see how far I come.

[00:09:22] The only thing that got me to level 40 last time around was the fact they got that purple-colored card.

[00:09:29] Yeah, that looks nice.

[00:09:30] And I gave that on a trade-able for Virgil van Dijk because I was like, you know what?

[00:09:34] Very smart.

[00:09:36] I'm probably keeping Virgil anyways and I can't accidentally sell him.

[00:09:40] I mean, if you are, it's going to keep him.

[00:09:43] Right?

[00:09:43] It looks cool.

[00:09:44] Exactly.

[00:09:45] Next up is Haaland, but I'm not going to crank to level 34 for it, I think.

[00:09:48] I don't think it's the same cosmetic either, so.

[00:09:52] Oh, I've not seen it.

[00:09:53] Yeah, I've not checked it yet, but.

[00:09:54] I've heard it.

[00:09:56] It's not the same, so.

[00:09:57] You know what, guys?

[00:09:58] Regarding the cosmetic EVOs, I'm afraid to give it to any player.

[00:10:02] Like, I'm afraid.

[00:10:04] I'll tell you what.

[00:10:05] Because if I gave it even to the player that I'm EVO chaining, right?

[00:10:09] I'm afraid that he will not be eligible for another chain.

[00:10:14] I don't know.

[00:10:15] I'm just like, no, I'm not touching those.

[00:10:17] Yeah.

[00:10:20] Fair enough.

[00:10:21] If you are tuning in on Friday, by the way, you can leave something in the chat.

[00:10:25] We're also on YouTube on Friday.

[00:10:27] And Abdallah Mead says, good evening, gentlemen.

[00:10:29] I'm excited to tune in to a live recording one day.

[00:10:33] Welcome on tonight's show.

[00:10:34] Every Friday, if you're a patron or not, you can tune in on YouTube.com slash

[00:10:39] foot review to check it out live there as well, of course.

[00:10:43] Anyways, guys, let's dive into the content.

[00:10:46] And thrill blazers number two, Invi.

[00:10:49] What do we get?

[00:10:51] We got a team.

[00:10:53] We got an objectives player.

[00:10:55] I'm expecting a player SBC probably tomorrow.

[00:11:00] I'm a little bit disappointed we didn't get one tonight.

[00:11:02] But we did get the player of the month, Robert Lewandowski for La Liga,

[00:11:07] which was very deserved, I think.

[00:11:11] Legend of the game as well.

[00:11:13] Great goal scorer.

[00:11:14] He's had a wonderful season.

[00:11:15] Last season wasn't that good.

[00:11:17] So I really like seeing him play because he's such a great goal scorer.

[00:11:23] So yeah, that's well deserved.

[00:11:27] The card is, I guess, fairly priced as well.

[00:11:35] Not too bad.

[00:11:36] 220, something around that price point.

[00:11:39] Yeah.

[00:11:39] So it's a plus one for his inform.

[00:11:43] Same rating as his rush card, which has a little bit more pace and some other small extra stats.

[00:11:51] But this one has the nice power header plus playstyle.

[00:11:56] He also has the normal finesse, normal chip shot and normal power shots.

[00:12:00] He has all the shooting styles in one way or the other, except dead ball.

[00:12:05] But he's not known for his free kicks either.

[00:12:08] So that's okay.

[00:12:09] He also has the incisive pass, normal first touch and Trivela.

[00:12:16] So there's a lot of good play styles on that card as well.

[00:12:21] And the rolls is as a striker, advance forward plus and plus plus false nine, which is also nice.

[00:12:28] So it's a nice looking card.

[00:12:32] Yeah.

[00:12:33] Thoughts from you, Arjun?

[00:12:35] Well, you know, the price is definitely fair considering the fact that his rush card was like around 800 something K

[00:12:44] before the SBC dropped today.

[00:12:47] So the main difference is basically in the speed, in the pace and the playstyle plus, right?

[00:12:55] Which I think on player of the month card is actually a little bit better than the chip shot.

[00:13:02] So I'm just curious guys, because I prefer instead of false nine, to be honest on him, like target forward, something like that.

[00:13:13] He's not the best dribbler and false nine is just like when you're using that roll, he's dropping a little bit deeper to help you out to build up.

[00:13:20] So I would like to see like target forward, target forward, play a role on him.

[00:13:28] I think that would suit him better.

[00:13:29] But if you're going to use him as a false nine, I think I would throw an engine playstyle on him.

[00:13:35] That would at least fill some of the missing stats, I guess, for that role.

[00:13:42] So, um, here's my counter argument for that though, Hingvi.

[00:13:46] Of course.

[00:13:47] He's got 91 strength.

[00:13:49] He has got 85 vision, 88 short passing.

[00:13:56] He's definitely able to get the ball in, put you back into a player, play the ball back as a false nine player.

[00:14:02] And he's got the size, the strength, everything on it as well.

[00:14:06] Um, the problem is we don't really see him do that at Barcelona either.

[00:14:10] He's more of a poacher.

[00:14:11] So it's, it's sort of against what we see in real life.

[00:14:14] That's what sort of, I think he's a poacher.

[00:14:17] I think he's target forward over there.

[00:14:20] Yeah.

[00:14:21] He's not running behind as much.

[00:14:23] Like, you know, he's not, he's no Holland.

[00:14:25] Yeah.

[00:14:26] That's what I'm saying.

[00:14:27] Right.

[00:14:27] Uh, with the Lomandowski guys, I mean, you probably agree.

[00:14:30] It's like the same card we have everywhere.

[00:14:32] He's shooting is going to be amazing.

[00:14:34] He's going to probably score every open opportunity.

[00:14:38] So, so there's not, no, no, no, no problems there.

[00:14:40] The pace.

[00:14:41] You have to work with it, but he's not that, as I'm saying, he's not that type of guy that you are just making a trouble and just run.

[00:14:49] And yeah, so, but the, the, the prices, I think it's fair.

[00:14:52] It's 200 K considering the fact that we have a rush card around seven to 600.

[00:14:57] 600 K, 660 right now, but he's dropping.

[00:15:00] So I agree.

[00:15:02] Yeah.

[00:15:03] I totally deserve as a player of the month.

[00:15:06] Definitely.

[00:15:07] Yeah.

[00:15:08] I think we all agree.

[00:15:09] Definitely.

[00:15:09] Cool card.

[00:15:10] Yeah.

[00:15:12] If you are fun.

[00:15:14] I'm not.

[00:15:15] Even though I'm Polish.

[00:15:18] I was, I was just about to say, I think you're a little bit biased, but not good.

[00:15:22] Maybe not.

[00:15:24] Maybe.

[00:15:25] Yeah.

[00:15:25] What else have we got?

[00:15:26] Yeah.

[00:15:26] We've got an objectives player.

[00:15:29] Nunu Tavares, Arsenal player on loan in Serie A.

[00:15:34] That is Napoli, if I'm not horribly mistaken, since they changed the name on the game because of licensing.

[00:15:43] Left back, 85 rated.

[00:15:47] You need to win six matches with at least four Serie A players in your starting eleven.

[00:15:55] That's in squad battles on minimum semi-pro or in rivals.

[00:16:00] You need to play ten matches with four Serie A players.

[00:16:04] That's also squad battles or rivals.

[00:16:09] There's something called portrait goal.

[00:16:11] You need to score ten goals in squad battles or rivals using a player from Portugal.

[00:16:16] So it's easy to do as well.

[00:16:17] Just do it in squad battles.

[00:16:19] Crossing Maestro.

[00:16:21] Assist three goals with a cross in squad battles on minimum semi-pro.

[00:16:26] I'm glad that's in squad battles.

[00:16:28] Or in rivals.

[00:16:29] I score a lot of crossing goals in rivals at least, even though I lose a lot of matches.

[00:16:33] But at least I managed to get a few cross goals, which is nice.

[00:16:36] So I think that should be three goals shouldn't be a problem at least for my style.

[00:16:42] It should be fine.

[00:16:43] So I think it's quite fair amount of matches for that card.

[00:16:48] He has the Rapid Plus, which is nice.

[00:16:51] He also got Flair, maybe not as much needed as the left back.

[00:16:55] He has Quick Step, which is also really nice.

[00:16:57] I think Flair comes with wearing a hairband.

[00:17:00] It could be him and Memphis Depay, maybe.

[00:17:05] He has the long throw.

[00:17:06] Normal one.

[00:17:08] Anticipate, which is really nice, of course.

[00:17:09] And the whipped pass.

[00:17:11] Normal.

[00:17:12] So he should be a good attacking fullback.

[00:17:15] He has the fullback plus plus.

[00:17:17] He has the false back plus.

[00:17:19] And he has the attacking wing back plus.

[00:17:22] And left mid fielder wide playmaker plus.

[00:17:26] So he has some decent rolls for him as well.

[00:17:33] So he can be a little bit versatile.

[00:17:34] I think I would be using him as a left back if I was going to play him.

[00:17:38] He's quite tall as well.

[00:17:40] So he should be okay to have, if somebody tries to cross back post.

[00:17:45] True.

[00:17:46] He might need an anchor though, if you want to play him on the defensive roll.

[00:17:49] Yeah.

[00:17:49] I was going to say that.

[00:17:51] Because that makes him very good with an anchor.

[00:17:57] Anything you're going to do, Arjun?

[00:17:59] I mean, for a free card, he really looks decent.

[00:18:03] So I wouldn't complain.

[00:18:05] And it's a very good card.

[00:18:08] For free, right?

[00:18:09] Because what we have on the left side and a Serie A, we have DiMarco, which is around 150,

[00:18:15] 160.

[00:18:16] And the crazy Teo, right?

[00:18:18] That is probably the gold card will remain to, I don't know, January, February with us.

[00:18:23] So for free, if you're looking, especially that we had so many Serie A cards, like SBCs and stuff.

[00:18:32] I think it's a great card.

[00:18:35] Must do it.

[00:18:36] For a couple games, yeah.

[00:18:38] And you can also...

[00:18:38] I mean, even though for future EVOs, it's like...

[00:18:41] Yeah.

[00:18:41] I was going to say, you can put them in the Trailblazers Turbo Evolution as well.

[00:18:45] So you get more pace and a plus one all over the board, which is also nice, I think.

[00:18:51] If you haven't used it already, of course.

[00:18:54] It makes them an 86 rated left back, so...

[00:18:58] But he loses the great image, the great colors on the card.

[00:19:01] No.

[00:19:02] It's the same card.

[00:19:03] It's like with the foundations.

[00:19:05] It keeps the same...

[00:19:06] Ah, okay.

[00:19:06] Yeah.

[00:19:07] You see, I don't care about EVOs and apparently I don't know anything about him either.

[00:19:13] Okay.

[00:19:15] So I think that's nice.

[00:19:18] Pretty good.

[00:19:19] Pretty good.

[00:19:19] Yeah.

[00:19:20] Yeah.

[00:19:20] Pretty cool.

[00:19:22] It's not...

[00:19:23] In V, it's Friday evening and you haven't complained too much yet.

[00:19:28] Give us something, mate.

[00:19:30] I don't know where you want me to start.

[00:19:35] No.

[00:19:36] Normally you like two-legged tackle into the players because we get all the objectives on Friday.

[00:19:42] Yeah, but I'm just trying to be a little bit more...

[00:19:46] Yeah, relaxed.

[00:19:46] And you can just say it's actually...

[00:19:48] The content is actually getting good, so...

[00:19:51] It's been nice today, but yeah.

[00:19:55] There's two...

[00:19:55] No, no, no.

[00:19:57] Just keep it there.

[00:19:58] It's nice today.

[00:19:59] Yeah.

[00:19:59] Okay.

[00:19:59] Let's see how it goes from here.

[00:20:01] Yeah, okay.

[00:20:03] It's nice today.

[00:20:04] Do you want to look at the team or anything else I missed?

[00:20:07] We got two evolutions.

[00:20:08] Oh, evolutions.

[00:20:10] Okay.

[00:20:10] I probably missed those.

[00:20:11] Yeah.

[00:20:11] Yeah.

[00:20:13] Yeah.

[00:20:13] So, there's been like pre-orders slash play before a certain date and you get an evolution

[00:20:21] based on Jude Bellingham's stats.

[00:20:24] The evolution is called Hey Jude.

[00:20:27] Celebrate cover star Jude Bellingham in this evolution exclusive to FC club members.

[00:20:33] Take a cam and make them better with low stats boost that emulate Jude's unique skill set.

[00:20:43] So, you need to have a position cam to be able to do the evolution and there are some nice boosts of course,

[00:20:52] depending on what the starting point is for your player.

[00:20:59] Yeah.

[00:21:00] And, uh, it's nice, but the problem is that this would have been much better if it was during the first two weeks,

[00:21:08] because then it would be a really good evolution.

[00:21:10] And now it's like, you don't see many using Bellingham in their team now.

[00:21:14] And, uh, yeah, crashed quite a lot in price because people don't use him.

[00:21:19] Uh, and with the maximum restriction with 80 pace as well.

[00:21:25] Um, you top it with the, uh, play style plus, which is relentless, which, yeah, it's, I know it's the same as Bellingham has in the game,

[00:21:38] but, uh, in the beginning of game, this would have been a really good evolution.

[00:21:41] But now I feel that there's so many other better options.

[00:21:44] I think it's free to do that. So, right? Yeah, it's free.

[00:21:49] That's free, which is nice of course, but, um,

[00:21:52] Have you got anyone in mind that you would put into this evolution or some player that you like?

[00:21:57] Hey guys, if you consider this play, you are getting something awesome.

[00:22:03] Uh, I've, I don't know.

[00:22:05] I, I looked at, uh, I have the inform, uh, Curtis Jones and he would have been nice if he had, uh,

[00:22:11] uh, if he didn't, if it wasn't for a relentless, because I don't feel that that's what, if he had a power shot or, uh, intercept plus that would be much nicer of course, but that's not.

[00:22:21] Power shot plus would be really nice on that card.

[00:22:25] Um, I can also do the, if you have the inform Granduzzi.

[00:22:30] Uh, looks, uh, quite good as well.

[00:22:36] And of course you get a strong link to, uh, to Varan and the Turam gang as well.

[00:22:42] So, uh, maybe that's a way to go, uh, from what I've seen now.

[00:22:48] It's just, I don't think there's an expiry date on it.

[00:22:50] I think the Granduzzi inform, you know, it looks better with a Le Bleu evolution.

[00:22:56] I was going to say that as well, because that's the second one that came out.

[00:22:59] So yeah.

[00:23:00] Yeah.

[00:23:00] But over here, if I just can give you a couple, my words on it, uh, I'm a little upset that they gave a relentless plus style plus, because it's going to be difficult to change that evil for upcoming evos.

[00:23:15] Yeah.

[00:23:16] Especially they making restriction, like you don't, you can have place that pluses on it.

[00:23:20] So the evil is okay.

[00:23:22] I mean, for free, I don't mind, but just like the place that plus is just a little bit frustrating here.

[00:23:28] Uh, I was hoping to like chain with a great goodie evil and stuff, you know, but I cannot right now.

[00:23:36] So, so, well, I liked the roles they gave you playmaker, the double plus shadow striker.

[00:23:43] All fine.

[00:23:44] The boost is fine.

[00:23:45] Just not that, uh, relentless plus place that plus.

[00:23:48] I agree.

[00:23:50] Just one question though.

[00:23:51] Cause if I look, I can't find the whole evolution.

[00:23:54] Doesn't mean I have not logged into the game yet or am I just not eligible for some reason?

[00:23:58] You need to log into the game on console.

[00:24:01] I know, but I'm just asking cause I see a lot of people responding to this on some websites now.

[00:24:06] Yeah.

[00:24:07] They have to, you have to log in otherwise it just, when you look into ultimate team, you

[00:24:11] will receive the little message for club member rewards or whatever it is.

[00:24:15] You know, and it's going to be in a store tab that you will click it and you will get the evil.

[00:24:22] Uh, still you get also the shadow striker plus, which is cool, right?

[00:24:27] Yeah.

[00:24:28] Yeah.

[00:24:29] I think that's, uh, uh, I don't know.

[00:24:32] I will look, but, uh, I mean, it's the same thing.

[00:24:37] Do we care about the reason I don't care about the illusions is you get an 86 rated camp

[00:24:42] and then current team already outpaces.

[00:24:46] It's like you said, they just come a little bit too late for me to be.

[00:24:48] Yeah.

[00:24:50] Well, you know, I'm playing mainly, mainly with the team this year with the evil.

[00:24:55] So I do care actually.

[00:24:57] And, uh, well, I'm a little bit disappointed that that's it.

[00:25:01] I was just hoping that the cover star of the game that will give like, like really good evil.

[00:25:07] It's not bad.

[00:25:08] I'm not saying it's bad.

[00:25:09] It just a little bit like behind the power curve.

[00:25:12] Yeah.

[00:25:13] Cover star, right?

[00:25:14] No, it's better.

[00:25:15] I'm, uh, but if they released it the first two weeks, then we've been a great evolution.

[00:25:19] But now it's not right.

[00:25:22] You talked about another evolution as well.

[00:25:24] Le bleu.

[00:25:26] You can boost one of your French players so you can showcase their dedication, passion,

[00:25:30] and commitment, allowing them to truly become one of Le bleu.

[00:25:34] So that's a maximum 84 rated card.

[00:25:38] Uh, you can use with maximum 86 pace.

[00:25:40] This would have been nice on the, uh, the, uh, page view evolution, maximum pace 86.

[00:25:46] That would have made things more interesting, of course.

[00:25:49] And as Art said, uh, Gwendosi looks much better in this evolution, of course.

[00:25:54] So, uh, maybe he's a good option there at least.

[00:25:58] Uh, he gets the Trivela plus I think now.

[00:26:00] Yeah.

[00:26:01] Yes.

[00:26:02] Yeah.

[00:26:04] So I know there's a, like a lot of center backs, uh, that are showing here guys, but,

[00:26:09] uh, I wouldn't use on a center back, especially that you're getting Trivela plus and Tiki Taka.

[00:26:15] Uh, maybe center mid or as cam as Gwendosi is.

[00:26:20] He has those positions.

[00:26:21] It's totally fine.

[00:26:22] Go with it.

[00:26:22] It's if you have, if you're lucky to have his card, I don't know.

[00:26:25] I think inform just skyrocket after, uh, he was eligible for this Evo, but I don't think

[00:26:32] it's like good evil for center back, especially at least with the play styles that they give

[00:26:37] it.

[00:26:37] No, no.

[00:26:38] It makes zero sense.

[00:26:39] I agree.

[00:26:39] Travela makes zero sense, but also Tiki Taka on center defender.

[00:26:42] Bruiser is fine.

[00:26:43] I mean, of course, but you prefer this on the sentiment field, right?

[00:26:48] CDM center mid.

[00:26:49] I mean, with someone that you can use the Trivela shot or Tiki Taka.

[00:26:52] I mean, I don't use like Tiki Taka with my center backs.

[00:26:56] I'm just like trying to be patient with those passes.

[00:26:58] I'm not doing those first time passes with the center back.

[00:27:01] So long ball definitely, maybe incisive pass, maybe pink pass sometimes, but I don't know.

[00:27:08] It's just my opinion.

[00:27:09] Definitely not Trivela, right?

[00:27:10] I mean, we can agree on that.

[00:27:12] No, okay.

[00:27:13] Yeah.

[00:27:13] But, but Gwendosi in form, uh, Trivela with, uh,

[00:27:19] with, without any boosts on this card, he has 90 shot par, 87 long shots, and, uh, 80 curve as well.

[00:27:27] So, uh, that should be very nice, uh, with the Trivela.

[00:27:32] And also incisive pass and Tiki Taka were already good, uh, passing stats.

[00:27:37] First touch normal, bruise normal as well.

[00:27:40] So I think that could be a really nice, uh, card actually, uh, more than usable at the moment as well.

[00:27:45] So, uh, so basically get Gwendosi in form right now while he stays 15k.

[00:27:50] So you can use him either in Hey Jude or in the Lebleu.

[00:27:53] If you want to do those evos, yeah.

[00:27:55] I mean, I don't think you will find a better card on that one.

[00:27:59] Especially that I use his gold card.

[00:28:02] And despite his stats that not, not looking great, he's actually moving pretty decent on the pitch.

[00:28:08] Yeah.

[00:28:08] So you got Gwendosi in form, Invi, which SBC or which evolution you're going to do?

[00:28:13] I'm going to put him in Lebleu or going to put him in Hey Jude?

[00:28:16] Lebleu if I'm going to use Gwendosi anywhere.

[00:28:19] Same art?

[00:28:20] Yeah.

[00:28:21] I would use Lebleu over here.

[00:28:23] Yeah.

[00:28:24] Those four paces extra?

[00:28:28] Crucial.

[00:28:29] Well, eight paces on the Lebleu, right?

[00:28:32] So.

[00:28:33] Yeah, but eight four difference.

[00:28:34] That's what I meant.

[00:28:34] Oh yeah.

[00:28:35] Yeah.

[00:28:35] That's what I meant.

[00:28:36] Yeah.

[00:28:37] Yeah.

[00:28:38] Pretty cool.

[00:28:40] And Tiki Taka and Triviela sounds a little bit better than relentless, right?

[00:28:47] Yeah.

[00:28:47] True plus his shooting gets a lot better.

[00:28:49] So I agree.

[00:28:50] I don't know how much stamina he has on the info card.

[00:28:53] You can check if you want.

[00:28:54] Yeah.

[00:28:54] It's 92 actually.

[00:28:57] I think that's more than enough for this moment of the game.

[00:29:03] No, that's actually pretty cool.

[00:29:05] It is a fact that I already have two French CDMs running around that I'm not going to do

[00:29:10] it, but this could make me want to do an evolution.

[00:29:14] We're almost there.

[00:29:15] We almost had one.

[00:29:16] Yeah.

[00:29:16] Almost.

[00:29:17] I also noticed we actually got a Trailblazer SBC, which, yeah.

[00:29:24] Yeah.

[00:29:25] We got a Musiala.

[00:29:27] Great player in real life.

[00:29:29] He's a plus one for his non-inform.

[00:29:33] There's around 470,000 coins difference in these two in price.

[00:29:44] And, well, it's not worth it.

[00:29:46] Did that come out late while we recorded this?

[00:29:48] It could have been.

[00:29:50] I just struggled with the web app.

[00:29:52] It didn't show all of the SBCs for some reason, but now it showed.

[00:29:55] So I found the card.

[00:29:58] 500,000 coins to do.

[00:30:00] Pretty much.

[00:30:00] Yeah.

[00:30:01] So the card stats are fine, but compared to the non-inform that cost 14,000 coins, it's

[00:30:10] not a big enough upgrade to kind of defend the price.

[00:30:16] At least not for me.

[00:30:19] That's, um...

[00:30:20] Are there not any other difference?

[00:30:22] Is it a technical plus?

[00:30:24] Yeah.

[00:30:25] That's, well, usually the Trailblazers get a different playstyle plus.

[00:30:28] And it's the same.

[00:30:29] Yeah.

[00:30:29] Yeah.

[00:30:30] It's the same.

[00:30:30] That's kind of also why it's not worth it.

[00:30:35] So, uh...

[00:30:36] So, yesterday I had, I said, uh, it might be a, this one might be the best value SBC

[00:30:42] to do currently.

[00:30:43] Just have to do.

[00:30:44] I think it was Tauvin just said that about.

[00:30:46] Yeah.

[00:30:47] Thomas, yeah.

[00:30:47] Oui.

[00:30:48] Oui.

[00:30:49] Oui.

[00:30:50] Let's get one more French listener in maybe.

[00:30:53] This does help.

[00:30:54] Oh.

[00:30:55] Magnifique.

[00:30:57] But now we have maybe the worst value SBC we had so far, Arjun.

[00:31:02] Well, you know, it's like, for me, it's like you're paying for the brand, you know?

[00:31:07] Bayern Munich, Musiala.

[00:31:08] 500,000.

[00:31:09] Yeah, that's it.

[00:31:10] I mean, because if you look at the stats, if it was different name under the card, you

[00:31:15] wouldn't even consider doing this Evo.

[00:31:17] But Musiala is actually, you know, his gold card is pretty good.

[00:31:21] So he's like, I'm not saying he's the most meta card in the game, of course, but he's

[00:31:28] a decent card and a very usable card.

[00:31:31] Maybe 480,000 coins.

[00:31:33] I know.

[00:31:34] But you, and I'm pretty sure there are still players that will do him.

[00:31:40] I don't know how loaded you are, but this makes zero sense to me.

[00:31:44] Yeah, it's the same here.

[00:31:44] You do get two different, two extra normal play styles, which is relentless, which is

[00:31:50] okay, I guess.

[00:31:51] But he also gets the chip shot.

[00:31:54] And for some reason, I think EA have kind of fallen in love with the German Bundesliga

[00:31:59] players or Bundesliga players in general and give them either chip shot or chip shot plus.

[00:32:05] If the player...

[00:32:05] I said that this week on the shorts.

[00:32:07] Every single Bundesliga SDC that comes out has chip shot plus.

[00:32:11] Or chip shot now.

[00:32:12] So yeah, strange they didn't give him chip shot plus for the trailblazer card here.

[00:32:18] So EA missed the point there.

[00:32:20] I think you guys are even too friendly.

[00:32:22] Okay?

[00:32:23] You give this guy relentless.

[00:32:25] He has to have relentless because his stamina is so poor as a midfielder.

[00:32:29] I wouldn't even play him without relentless.

[00:32:31] And I don't think this card is worth anywhere near 500,000.

[00:32:36] If we got a Robbie Keane SBC yesterday, Telfan SBC.

[00:32:40] You mentioned one, but I forgot.

[00:32:42] Luke Keba?

[00:32:43] Yeah.

[00:32:44] As well.

[00:32:45] Awesome value to SBCs.

[00:32:47] Not even all cheap, but just good value.

[00:32:50] Perfectly upgrade from other cards.

[00:32:51] Enough difference between other cards.

[00:32:53] This Musiala card makes zero sense for me.

[00:32:57] And I think it's the worst value SBC we've seen so far.

[00:33:01] 150,000 coins would have been okay, I guess, for this one.

[00:33:04] In the state it is now, I think.

[00:33:05] Even if he put 250, you could consider it because the brand, like Archim said,

[00:33:11] this is ridiculous.

[00:33:13] Yeah.

[00:33:14] Stay away.

[00:33:15] It's so ridiculous I'm not going to even mention it.

[00:33:17] I'm not even going to put it on screen anymore.

[00:33:21] Okay.

[00:33:21] Sorry.

[00:33:22] But they gave him, you know what, considering the fact,

[00:33:25] comparing to their gold card, that the shooting and passing was a little bit dodgy on the gold card.

[00:33:30] So they gave those improvements.

[00:33:32] I'm not justifying the price.

[00:33:34] They, hell no.

[00:33:35] But it's just, you probably will notice that a little bit improvement on shooting and passing on the card.

[00:33:42] True.

[00:33:42] But 500k, I mean, you're a Bayern Munich fan.

[00:33:45] Go for it.

[00:33:46] Have fun.

[00:33:47] If you, of course, can afford.

[00:33:48] We have one month to finish it.

[00:33:50] Wait until November 29th or something like that.

[00:33:53] Almost one month.

[00:33:53] Yeah.

[00:33:54] It expires on the 29th of November.

[00:33:57] So, yeah.

[00:33:57] Sure.

[00:33:58] Yeah.

[00:33:59] If you're sure that you're going to use this card, I don't mind if you do it.

[00:34:05] It's just not for me.

[00:34:06] Right?

[00:34:07] No.

[00:34:08] No.

[00:34:08] Let me know in the comments, though.

[00:34:09] Let us know in the comments or on YouTube, whatever.

[00:34:13] Or send us a message if you plan on doing this.

[00:34:16] Or if you have done it.

[00:34:18] Or if you think we're actually being too unkind versus Musiala, who is a great player.

[00:34:24] We're not going to mention that.

[00:34:27] All right.

[00:34:28] That was a surprise to be seeing.

[00:34:30] V almost got me off guard, but I switched in time, I think.

[00:34:35] Yeah.

[00:34:35] Is it time for us to pull up the team?

[00:34:37] Yeah.

[00:34:37] I think we should go to the team now.

[00:34:40] All right.

[00:34:41] And there are some players.

[00:34:45] So, we heard a lot about this week.

[00:34:48] At least one of them.

[00:34:50] Musiala, Owej.

[00:34:51] No.

[00:34:52] No.

[00:34:53] We won.

[00:34:55] Well, I don't like what he and his club did during the ceremony of Ballon d'Or.

[00:35:03] So, that's still a little bit of it.

[00:35:07] We're talking about Fini Jr.

[00:35:07] Yeah.

[00:35:08] I just feel that's very disrespectful to the other players there that won as well.

[00:35:17] And at least to Rodri.

[00:35:19] I think we lost him.

[00:35:21] And Real Madrid.

[00:35:21] Real Madrid terminated.

[00:35:23] I wonder what they would have said if nobody from Manchester City came with Fini Jr won.

[00:35:28] So, yeah.

[00:35:29] He said like the star of the show, but 6 million coins.

[00:35:33] There's not going to be many using that card or can afford it.

[00:35:36] It's a crazy price.

[00:35:39] It's 3 million more than his Inforum, which is 91 rated and it's plus one on everything except

[00:35:49] for he got a huge heading accuracy boost with plus two.

[00:35:55] So...

[00:35:56] 6 million.

[00:35:57] Yeah.

[00:35:59] That's...

[00:36:01] Yeah.

[00:36:02] The card is probably good, of course, but...

[00:36:04] If I were EA, I would put a dynamic image with a corner ball somewhere on it.

[00:36:10] So, yeah.

[00:36:12] It's...

[00:36:13] He got the rapid plus play style.

[00:36:16] So, he's...

[00:36:17] Yeah.

[00:36:17] Because he's slow.

[00:36:19] Yeah.

[00:36:19] They gave him rapid.

[00:36:21] Yeah.

[00:36:22] It's...

[00:36:23] Enough of Fini Jr.

[00:36:24] I mean, it is the standout card.

[00:36:26] If he's back in, good.

[00:36:28] Yeah.

[00:36:29] Congrats.

[00:36:30] Of course.

[00:36:30] Yeah.

[00:36:30] But we won't see many of that card running around.

[00:36:32] So...

[00:36:33] No.

[00:36:33] It's too...

[00:36:33] It's...

[00:36:34] It's like crazy price.

[00:36:37] There is like...

[00:36:38] There's quite few middle ground type of value players.

[00:36:44] And it's either cheap or very expensive.

[00:36:47] There's a very few in the middle there.

[00:36:50] So...

[00:36:51] The Dembele card looks so good, of course, but that's 1.4 million-ish.

[00:37:00] 1.450.

[00:37:02] And that's also a plus one from his inform and it's...

[00:37:07] Yeah.

[00:37:08] A little bit of an extra shooting boost.

[00:37:11] But...

[00:37:11] I'm like, well, how are you guys getting those prices?

[00:37:15] And...

[00:37:15] And...

[00:37:15] No, no.

[00:37:16] But the reason is because I have my foot bin on a PC prices and I'm like, it's like,

[00:37:20] what the hell?

[00:37:22] 1.5?

[00:37:22] I've seen 2.7 million.

[00:37:24] Yeah.

[00:37:25] It's a different market.

[00:37:27] It's a different market.

[00:37:27] Of course.

[00:37:27] Yeah.

[00:37:27] I'm sorry.

[00:37:29] Also, a whole different story because we talked about PC cheating last week.

[00:37:33] I think the market's a little bit upset because of that on PC.

[00:37:36] Oh, yeah.

[00:37:37] Yeah.

[00:37:38] There's a little bit out of sync that market, I think, at the moment.

[00:37:42] So, hopefully, we'll be closer to normal in not too long.

[00:37:50] FC26.

[00:37:52] Oh, sure.

[00:37:53] And you know, if you're gonna pack any of these cards, it's gonna be the like...

[00:37:58] If you're lucky, you'll get maybe Grimaldo, which is worth 50,000 coins now, or Lucy Bronze.

[00:38:06] You're not gonna pack any of the other ones because they're like 600, 800,000 coins.

[00:38:15] There's one for 350, but...

[00:38:18] Yeah.

[00:38:19] We did get finally a good goalkeeper though.

[00:38:22] Samba?

[00:38:23] Samba.

[00:38:25] Yeah.

[00:38:25] Why do you think he's good?

[00:38:25] Yeah, but I think the goalkeeper from Spain was good as well.

[00:38:30] True.

[00:38:31] This one has footwork plus though, which is pretty cool.

[00:38:35] Yeah.

[00:38:36] I like it that the goalkeepers have now got playstyle pluses, which is quite cool.

[00:38:42] But Garcia from last week is 6'4", which is very nice.

[00:38:47] He had the goalkeeper plus player role and sweeper keeper plus plus.

[00:38:54] He had the cross claimer, which I like, plus rush out normal, footwork normal, and long ball pass for a goalkeeper, which is really nice, I think.

[00:39:04] The only thing he misses, and I want to quickly check with Arjun, I think the far reach pluses, best goalkeeper playstyle there is.

[00:39:12] What do you think, Arjun?

[00:39:13] You know what, John?

[00:39:15] I thought so, to be honest with you.

[00:39:17] I really changed my mind.

[00:39:20] And I don't know how the footwork works, but with the double playstyle pluses sweeper keeper and footwork, that might be like just you will not have the time to shoot even and he's going to catch the ball right away.

[00:39:34] You know what I mean?

[00:39:35] Fair, but still you will have the amazing finesse shots and stuff outside the box.

[00:39:40] Exactly, but the finesse shots, they're still going in.

[00:39:44] I mean, if someone is aiming correctly and doing it in the right spots, they're still going to go in, especially if you have a playstyle plus, for example, for finesse, right?

[00:39:54] So, those 1v1 situations are like when the player is through on a scoring chance.

[00:40:04] I'm having problems with those, like, you know, when the goalie is really fast.

[00:40:08] He has an 80 reaction also, so...

[00:40:11] Yeah, for 10k, 11k.

[00:40:15] I mean, but it's a discard price.

[00:40:16] Most of the goalies on the promotions are on the list.

[00:40:33] Yeah, okay.

[00:40:35] For real though, I agree with Ingrid.

[00:40:38] Like, the price ranges are so big, it's really hard to do.

[00:40:40] But Alan in chat says you got to check out the cheap beast, Dennis Mann, Ingrid.

[00:40:46] The main man.

[00:40:48] Oh, he did it.

[00:40:51] Another Serie A player from Romania, I think.

[00:40:53] Yep.

[00:40:54] Left winger, right winger.

[00:40:56] And our right midfielder even.

[00:40:58] Yes.

[00:41:00] He has Forza Skimmer, 3-star weak foot.

[00:41:03] He has Inside Forward Plus as a right mid.

[00:41:07] Inside Forward Plus as a left mid.

[00:41:09] And Wide Playmaker Plus as a right wing.

[00:41:12] He doesn't have a playstyle plus, so that will be nice for evolutions later.

[00:41:18] He has Quick Step, Normal, Flair, Technical, Whipped Pass, which I love of course.

[00:41:25] An incisive pass.

[00:41:26] So, he could be a good wide player, I think.

[00:41:30] I wouldn't use him as an inside forward with the 82 attacking position and 81 finishing.

[00:41:36] But as a wide player, would have to boost his passing though.

[00:41:41] Yeah, I think you boost him on right winger and a wide playmaker.

[00:41:46] Yeah.

[00:41:46] So, but a huge evolution potential, I think, in that as long as they don't take the pace into consideration.

[00:41:54] The rest is like super potential for a good evolution.

[00:41:59] Maybe put an artist or a maestro or something on him would help a little bit.

[00:42:08] Yeah.

[00:42:09] Yeah, pretty cool.

[00:42:10] Yeah.

[00:42:10] It's a very, very good value for the, I'm pretty sure it's going to drop more as well.

[00:42:16] So, I think that could be, you can of course put him in the Trailblazer Turbo Evolution to boost his space plus 2 to 97 as well.

[00:42:27] That is of course nice.

[00:42:30] True.

[00:42:31] So, he could be a little gem, hidden gem in a way.

[00:42:34] Yeah.

[00:42:35] I'll, until Alan gave it away here in chat.

[00:42:37] But no, thank you Alan for responding.

[00:42:39] Yeah, it's awesome.

[00:42:42] Pretty cool card.

[00:42:43] I think anyone else here, Archer, that you want to highlight?

[00:42:48] Yeah, actually we spoke before the show with Ingvar and I really liked the Milo card from Stuttgart.

[00:42:57] I know the shooting is like, not the best, but pink pass, double plus throw.

[00:43:05] Dribbling is not the worst.

[00:43:08] He can play CM, he can play Cam for future evolution, especially that we have in Lukeba recently, SBC.

[00:43:17] It's a strong link to him.

[00:43:19] The price is a little bit, I mean, he definitely will drop like to probably 20k, maybe even Discord card.

[00:43:25] But just remember that he is 85 rated.

[00:43:29] So, just pick up one when he drops.

[00:43:35] Cam, CM, right midfield for building up the tactics in a team and putting him on different positions.

[00:43:42] And one more card, and actually our listener mentioned man card.

[00:43:47] But I like that Sainz, a little bit card more actually, that Spain left mid.

[00:43:54] I know he plays in the EFL, but most of us probably did the Sisoko card.

[00:44:00] So, there is a link to him.

[00:44:03] And I, like again, I'm looking for future revolutions, but I'm just amazed how good stats he has overall.

[00:44:13] Yeah, it's a very well-rounded left.

[00:44:17] The only thing is the relentless plus.

[00:44:20] Yeah.

[00:44:20] It's not what you kind of need with the 90 stamina on a left midfielder winger.

[00:44:25] But once you can have two playstyle pluses maybe as well.

[00:44:31] He has technical, which is nice.

[00:44:33] Flair is nice quick step.

[00:44:35] Double four?

[00:44:36] Yeah.

[00:44:37] And whip passed as well.

[00:44:38] So, of course, if you play him wide, just boost his passing and crossing and just run him up and down and cross the ball.

[00:44:45] And, of course, he's going to be a nice option there as well.

[00:44:49] Maybe give him an engine then.

[00:44:50] And he should be, yeah, he should be able to.

[00:44:53] The only thing is right footed playing on the left wing.

[00:44:56] So, if you want to cross him, that's a...

[00:44:59] Well, it's still double four, right?

[00:45:01] Yeah.

[00:45:02] It's not like he doesn't have a left foot at all.

[00:45:04] So, you know.

[00:45:05] Oh, that's true.

[00:45:06] That's true.

[00:45:08] It's kind of a peculiar card.

[00:45:10] He has 86 attacking position and 86 finishing.

[00:45:15] So, it's really good stats, but shot power is 80.

[00:45:18] So, it's like...

[00:45:19] Interesting.

[00:45:20] I think you should use him on the wings.

[00:45:22] Like, you just dribble a little bit with him.

[00:45:25] He's short player, right?

[00:45:26] And just cross.

[00:45:27] Or make that recycling pass to the center mids of one.

[00:45:32] He's not a short player, mate.

[00:45:33] What do you mean he's not?

[00:45:34] He's exactly our size.

[00:45:36] He's five foot ten.

[00:45:37] If you put a hook on him, he should be fine as an inside forward.

[00:45:39] Well, five foot ten, what I'm saying is he should be like good on a dribbling, like on a left stick.

[00:45:44] True.

[00:45:45] Yeah, I was making fun of our eight.

[00:45:47] Especially that agility balance.

[00:45:49] Reaction is not terrible, 82, because you know...

[00:45:52] Yeah, good.

[00:45:53] It's not terrible.

[00:45:54] That's what I'm saying.

[00:45:54] Good ball control and dribbling as well.

[00:45:56] So...

[00:45:56] With a 96 and 92 pace, you basically can skip right now chemistry for pace.

[00:46:02] Yeah.

[00:46:03] And just give him something that will boost the shooting, power shot and reactions with a marksman, for example.

[00:46:10] Yeah.

[00:46:10] And you're good to go.

[00:46:11] And still, as I'm saying, if he drops a little bit more, pick him up, put him in a team or in a club and just wait.

[00:46:19] Yeah, I'm gonna do that.

[00:46:21] I'm gonna keep an eye out for those cheap cards.

[00:46:25] There's always someone that's gonna fit an evolution and you will regret if you didn't pick him up earlier.

[00:46:30] So, it's gonna be extinct in like one minute.

[00:46:33] So, that's a very good point actually.

[00:46:36] Yeah, actually, John asked in the beginning, Ingve, why he's so positive today.

[00:46:42] I think he just like get used to, to those promos every Friday and I'm like also getting used to, to Friday promos and cards that we're receiving.

[00:46:51] We're getting like from five to 10 cards that we'll never obtain.

[00:46:57] And the rest is just like new cards coming and we're just looking at 85 below, like those lower cards and thinking what we can do with those, right?

[00:47:06] That's pretty fun.

[00:47:07] I mean, we've been talking about this promo for 10 minutes or this promo team for 10 minutes now.

[00:47:12] And then meanwhile, I bought a Milo and I bought a Samba.

[00:47:14] So...

[00:47:15] You're picking them up.

[00:47:17] It's good that we...

[00:47:18] You guys convinced me to try them and if I can try them, I'll win.

[00:47:20] So, it's good that me and Ingve are doing the job and you're just taking care of yourself.

[00:47:27] It's okay.

[00:47:27] True, true.

[00:47:28] Then again, I am showing it on screen.

[00:47:30] So, there's that.

[00:47:32] Talking about doing my job though, we have to continue to the next topic because Ingve, I think it's time for the community team of the week.

[00:47:40] Yes, it is.

[00:47:41] And of course, talking about doing my job, I should actually use this one.

[00:47:48] Community team of the week.

[00:47:51] You see, that's probably doing my job.

[00:47:54] Community team of the week is where if you are a part of our Discord, which of course is free to join.

[00:47:59] You don't have to be a Patreon for that.

[00:48:01] You can just click the link in any of our show descriptions and you get an invite to our Discord server.

[00:48:07] There are a couple of forums there.

[00:48:09] One of the forums there is about the community team of the week.

[00:48:12] You can post your team there and you can keep count of your team every single week.

[00:48:17] So, you also have a database of FC25 how your team looks during the weeks.

[00:48:21] Ingvi goes through that forum and he picks one team posted there every single week.

[00:48:28] That's either the best team, the most creative team, the most fun team or the most silly team.

[00:48:32] And then he's going to highlight it.

[00:48:35] And Ingvi, you made a choice this week.

[00:48:37] Who did you pick?

[00:48:38] Well, I'll put it on screen.

[00:48:41] I sent it to you.

[00:48:43] It's our friend Cal on the Discord.

[00:48:47] And he put out a very interesting mixture, nice hybrid type of team with lots of nice colored cards.

[00:48:57] It's the purple one as well, which is really nice.

[00:49:00] And he put on some badges and it all looks really, really cool with some really good, interesting players as well.

[00:49:09] Not all super meta.

[00:49:11] I really like that he put in Cam, which I've been looking at myself.

[00:49:18] In goal, he has Ederson.

[00:49:20] Right back, the Lorenzo Rush.

[00:49:21] He has the Icon Hierro.

[00:49:24] He has the non-inform Bastoni.

[00:49:26] Di Marco road to the knockouts left back.

[00:49:30] He has the fearsome Rotor knockouts to Ram as CDM with Icon Gattuso, which is quite a surprising choice as well.

[00:49:39] And of course, the cam legend Gianfranco Sola.

[00:49:46] Right winger is Mohamed Salah with the purple Evolution cosmetic one.

[00:49:52] And he has a very nice and cap-wearing Neymar rush card on the left wing.

[00:50:01] And up top, he has the inform Lautaro Martinez, which is also quite surprising card.

[00:50:08] But I faced him a few times and he's a nightmare to face.

[00:50:12] A really good finisher in game.

[00:50:15] And he still has coins.

[00:50:17] He still has coins left.

[00:50:19] And I love the attention to detail that he actually has an Egyptian manager as well.

[00:50:24] Yep.

[00:50:24] To boost the full cam on Salah and everybody else.

[00:50:32] I'm actually surprised that he used Ederson instead of Alisson.

[00:50:37] If you do Alisson, you're done as well, right?

[00:50:39] Yeah.

[00:50:39] I mean, no, the reason is because most players use Alisson, right?

[00:50:43] So, so, so, and Alisson will give him, I think Salah even more chemistry boost.

[00:50:51] Yeah.

[00:50:51] Yeah.

[00:50:51] He doesn't need it.

[00:50:53] I think maybe he's using it.

[00:50:55] Three icons, so.

[00:50:55] Yeah, it's fine.

[00:50:57] Ederson, I know he's packed him as well, of course, but he has the long ball plus.

[00:51:03] Okay.

[00:51:04] So, so if, if you're a little bit good with kicking and goalkeepers, you could start a

[00:51:10] few counters quite easily with that.

[00:51:13] With that.

[00:51:13] I've, I've had a few fly over my defenders and a nice counter and goal.

[00:51:18] So that's a, that's a big attacking weapon.

[00:51:21] If you can utilize that Ederson card.

[00:51:23] So I think I used Ederson for about 100 matches.

[00:51:27] Yeah.

[00:51:27] Of the last 100 matches, I used Alisson.

[00:51:30] Yeah.

[00:51:30] And until I just bought Samba, I was actually using Alisson.

[00:51:33] So we'll see.

[00:51:34] But I think Alisson is by far the better goalkeeper actually defending the goal.

[00:51:40] That could be, yeah.

[00:51:41] I haven't tried, I haven't tried Ederson.

[00:51:43] It's, it's insane.

[00:51:45] So even though he has the far reached or the far shooting, I think Alisson saves so many

[00:51:51] insane balls that I'm like, you know what?

[00:51:53] It's not even a contest for me.

[00:51:55] So by the way, car, if you are listening, just let me know how that Euro card is performing

[00:52:01] for you.

[00:52:02] Or are you just packing from and you have to use it?

[00:52:05] Yeah.

[00:52:05] I have to be honest that the Euro card does look actually pretty good.

[00:52:08] He looks pretty good.

[00:52:09] That's what I'm saying, but I just want to know how he performs because in the beginning

[00:52:13] of the game 72 or whatever 74 pace he has, I don't remember exactly.

[00:52:18] That's a, it's more than enough.

[00:52:20] It's a boat card.

[00:52:21] So he's didn't pack him.

[00:52:22] So I guess.

[00:52:23] Okay.

[00:52:23] Yeah.

[00:52:24] You're right.

[00:52:24] It's not the first, first owner.

[00:52:26] So I'm pretty sure he bought him to use him.

[00:52:28] And since he's in the team, I'm guessing he's doing quite, quite a good job.

[00:52:32] It looks like that because the stats are really good, except maybe pace if you're really

[00:52:37] pretty.

[00:52:37] I mean, but I'm saying this is the beginning of the game.

[00:52:39] So if he's positioning himself in a right way with the defender double plus, right?

[00:52:44] The role as I remember on him, then he's good to go.

[00:52:47] I just want to know because he's one of the cheaper center backs when it comes to icons.

[00:52:53] Yeah.

[00:52:53] It helps a lot on chemistry building.

[00:52:56] Exactly.

[00:52:58] Yeah.

[00:52:58] So, yeah.

[00:52:59] What's chemistry again?

[00:53:01] Hmm?

[00:53:02] What's chemistry again?

[00:53:03] You don't care.

[00:53:03] I do.

[00:53:05] Yeah.

[00:53:06] Half my team is a one or two.

[00:53:08] I don't know how you play that way.

[00:53:10] I feel the difference, but.

[00:53:12] Yeah.

[00:53:13] It's all right, man.

[00:53:14] I don't know.

[00:53:14] I could, even my goalkeeper, Soma is now on two chemistry.

[00:53:19] Two chemistry is fine though.

[00:53:21] But if, well, of course, if team chemistry is 20, then I think you might struggle a little

[00:53:25] bit.

[00:53:26] Why?

[00:53:26] Why though?

[00:53:26] You don't, team chemistry doesn't do anything.

[00:53:29] I think chemistry does.

[00:53:30] Yeah.

[00:53:30] But if players too.

[00:53:33] No, but team chemistry doesn't do anything.

[00:53:36] Like it literally doesn't matter.

[00:53:37] So I'm wondering why that would matter.

[00:53:40] My OCD.

[00:53:41] Yeah.

[00:53:42] If he for 21, it also matters, but off like last year and this year, team chemistry

[00:53:46] does.

[00:53:47] Maybe that's good though.

[00:53:48] Cause we'll get a lot of questions.

[00:53:50] Yeah.

[00:53:50] Well, it's enough that it does in my head.

[00:53:52] So I mean, fair enough, but it's, you know what I mean?

[00:53:55] If I don't, my team performs bad and I was like, Oh, it has to be that.

[00:54:00] Yeah.

[00:54:01] Easy to blame.

[00:54:03] I don't know if people are actually interested in it.

[00:54:05] So I'll keep it short.

[00:54:08] Chemistry only concerns individual players.

[00:54:11] A one, two or three stars or points on a player increases the boost they get from chemistry

[00:54:17] cards.

[00:54:19] That's all.

[00:54:20] You don't get negative influence.

[00:54:22] We don't have a multiplier with team chemistry anymore.

[00:54:24] It's only individual stats.

[00:54:26] So if a player is individually on two has better stats than if his competitor would have on

[00:54:33] three, totally fine to use the two stat player.

[00:54:39] Hashtag and mansplaining from John here.

[00:54:43] Sorry.

[00:54:44] Yep.

[00:54:45] Yep.

[00:54:47] Artyom.

[00:54:48] Yes.

[00:54:49] You're looking very serious.

[00:54:50] Is there something you want to add my friend?

[00:54:54] Am I looking serious?

[00:54:55] Yeah.

[00:54:55] Yeah.

[00:54:56] I just concentrated.

[00:54:58] I still want to invite everyone to our Wednesday show.

[00:55:05] Which we have to unfortunately record on Thursday the last three times, but indeed.

[00:55:12] Our Patreon exclusive show.

[00:55:13] Yeah.

[00:55:14] I mean, we all have our own duties in life.

[00:55:16] So it's not always like we can be on a schedule, but, but, and I just want to guess

[00:55:23] you wish this week to, to play your game the way you want to play, not that you are forced

[00:55:29] to play the way.

[00:55:32] Yeah.

[00:55:32] No, I think that's fair.

[00:55:34] I've got two things though, to add.

[00:55:35] One thing is the next weekend is the infamous and it's getting more infamous every single

[00:55:40] year, uh, event community event in Edinburgh.

[00:55:45] So on Saturday, that's November 9th.

[00:55:48] On top of my mind, you can find us.

[00:55:50] Uh, I'll put the details in a note, subscription zero out this week.

[00:55:54] You can find us at, I think pool seven in Edinburgh, uh, from 3 PM.

[00:56:00] Uh, join us.

[00:56:01] If you want to send us a message, we can make reservations for you.

[00:56:04] You can play the arts pool with us.

[00:56:05] Uh, I've heard Chris will send out autographs as well.

[00:56:09] So who knows?

[00:56:10] Uh, you can recognize us by, well, most of the food review merchandise, of course we'll

[00:56:15] be wearing, uh, but fun.

[00:56:17] If you join, if you're in the neighborhood, join us there.

[00:56:20] Uh, and the other thing is a special question for you, Arjun.

[00:56:24] And this is totally my mistake.

[00:56:26] Uh, we had a question sent in, but unfortunately the, the person sending in the question has

[00:56:32] his stream mode on.

[00:56:33] So I can't currently see his username, but as in the discord says, whenever I play information

[00:56:38] with three up front, I always struggle to get the left winger and right wing involved

[00:56:43] to play.

[00:56:43] They feel miles away from the striker.

[00:56:45] I tried everything.

[00:56:46] I think, can you give any tips so I can get the left winger and right winger to be less

[00:56:50] isolated and be more involved in attacks with the striker.

[00:56:54] And this was from almost two weeks ago.

[00:56:56] And I totally forgot last week.

[00:56:58] So, so he's asking about how we'll get them more involved in attack, right?

[00:57:02] Yes.

[00:57:03] Okay.

[00:57:03] So don't play 4, 3, 3.

[00:57:06] Well, it's not, I'm using winger cells.

[00:57:09] So maybe not right now, but, uh, so basically it all depends also on the roles that he has

[00:57:17] on the players.

[00:57:17] Unfortunately, he has to pay attention to that because if he's using the players without

[00:57:21] roles, they might just stand there sometimes and not do anything for it for, for, for, for

[00:57:27] whatever he wants, wants to them to do.

[00:57:29] Uh, you know what?

[00:57:30] Everybody's saying that inside forward is like the meta.

[00:57:33] I don't like inside forward.

[00:57:35] I don't know why.

[00:57:35] Uh, instead of that, for example, if I wanted my player to cut inside and just a little bit

[00:57:39] help me out with the buildup, I prefer the white playmaker actually, uh, role.

[00:57:44] And, and with a roaming instruction, for example, and he's helping me out over there more with

[00:57:50] a buildup.

[00:57:50] Right.

[00:57:51] And to be honest with you, instead of inside forward, if I wanted that player to make most

[00:57:56] runs behind, I prefer the wingeries role on it because, and to add to this, I use the counter

[00:58:04] buildup instead of balance or short pass.

[00:58:07] So it's kind of forced the players to move quickly or aim, just force them to move at

[00:58:14] all.

[00:58:15] Like, and with a winger instruction with a sorry, play a role.

[00:58:19] I noticed that still in a final third, if they have a space, they still will cut inside

[00:58:24] just a little bit like, uh, uh, uh, a little bit later than with the inside forward role,

[00:58:31] you know, so let him try whatever he wants to do.

[00:58:34] If he wants them to have on a side more, try to get the players with a winger plus or double

[00:58:40] plus role.

[00:58:41] And let me know how it goes.

[00:58:42] And just to use the counter as a buildup.

[00:58:45] And if he wants them to make more impact in a middle with a white playmaker role and let

[00:58:52] me know how it goes.

[00:58:54] Perfect.

[00:58:55] I could have just said, I didn't forget, but I wanted to ask you this question, but I

[00:58:59] have to be honest.

[00:59:00] I almost forgot to put this question in the show last week.

[00:59:03] So thank you for answering this argument.

[00:59:05] If you have any questions, you can always, if you're on the discord and you want to reach

[00:59:09] out to some of the coaches from team food coaching, you can just always add or tag at coach

[00:59:15] and all of the team members of team food coaching.

[00:59:18] One last thing, John before, because I don't know if he, I cover everything that he, because

[00:59:23] he mentioned that he tried everything.

[00:59:25] Also those movements on the wingers.

[00:59:28] It depends how he use his center mids and fullbacks.

[00:59:32] Either sentiment interferes with the pitch place for winger to cut inside.

[00:59:38] The winger will stay outside and he will not have a clue what to do.

[00:59:42] So he has to know if the center mid is on a box to box, for example, on the left side

[00:59:47] and the left winger has no room to cut inside.

[00:59:50] True.

[00:59:50] So he has to pay attention to like all the side of the players and the roles that he

[00:59:55] using.

[00:59:57] Agree.

[00:59:58] Agree.

[00:59:58] Guys, last topic of the show.

[01:00:01] And we're already now we're in, so I'm going to call, keep it quick.

[01:00:04] Last week, we said if we have a, if we have, we have a question for you or two weeks ago,

[01:00:12] this was when Chris was on.

[01:00:13] We have a question for you.

[01:00:15] Drop it in a Spotify or Apple podcast review or YouTube comments.

[01:00:20] And if you have the correct answer, we'll draw a, one of those news caps and we'll send

[01:00:26] it to you worldwide.

[01:00:27] It doesn't matter where you're from.

[01:00:29] So we asked the question, who makes the most tires in the world?

[01:00:35] And I think, like I said, dozens of people sending questions.

[01:00:39] Ingvi, what would you, what was your answer again?

[01:00:42] Bridgestone.

[01:00:42] And yours, Arjun?

[01:00:44] I said good year.

[01:00:45] Good year.

[01:00:45] Because it's a good year.

[01:00:46] It's a good year.

[01:00:47] Definitely.

[01:00:48] I think many people said Michelin, but the actual answer with more than 318 million tires

[01:00:57] per year, that's 870,000 a year is of course, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

[01:01:06] It's Lego.

[01:01:08] Lego makes the most tires.

[01:01:11] All right.

[01:01:13] We were closing, man.

[01:01:15] Yeah.

[01:01:17] Sorry.

[01:01:18] 318 million.

[01:01:19] They served the cap.

[01:01:21] Nick sent in the only one that sent in the correct answer.

[01:01:25] So I'm going to send Nick.

[01:01:27] I think he's in Ireland.

[01:01:29] You can bring it when you go and post it while you're in Ireland.

[01:01:33] Oh, that's actually a smarter move.

[01:01:35] I'll post it once and then.

[01:01:36] Yeah.

[01:01:37] We'll get a half the price for shipping.

[01:01:41] Fair enough.

[01:01:41] Fair enough.

[01:01:42] But in all seriousness, I'll say, congrats, Nick.

[01:01:44] And yeah, of course you could have known we're not asking questions.

[01:01:47] And Chris actually gave a hint when we did the show.

[01:01:49] He says, you've got plenty on it.

[01:01:51] And if you were watching the show, my background was filled with Lego models.

[01:01:55] So we sort of gave the hint during that show what we asked.

[01:02:00] But there's that.

[01:02:02] Thank you all.

[01:02:02] Nick, send us your details, DM us or send me a message.

[01:02:05] And we'll be back with that.

[01:02:07] See you next week.

[01:02:08] It's time for us to drop it.

[01:02:09] Drop it.

[01:02:11] Drop it.

[01:02:13] You.

[01:02:15] You.

[01:02:18] You.

[01:02:19] You.

[01:02:21] My.
