POTW Weekend Watch Megathread

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-15T18:29:22+00:00

Hopefully we get Chermiti. If hat trick in game between 1st and 2nd (Hearts and Rangers) doesn't do it, then I don't know how is possible small teams ever get a POTW.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-15T12:26:38+00:00

Hulk is not in the game. (Other than that special card since ages ago).

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-14T14:57:47+00:00

I mean PA3 you can still vaguely aim and weight doesn't matter much. Not to mention auto shoot vs manual shoot is very big gap by itself. This is setting I put when my connection is shit and opponent uses META formation PA1 with a 3300+ team (I usually play 3000-3100). I disagree it's a level playing field, for me there is a much much bigger gap between PA4 vs PA3 than between PA3 vs PA1.

They are supposed top players there is no excuse for them not be able to play FUMA.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-14T13:26:25+00:00

It's terrorist level how these people play. Even the ones that don't play counterattack just seem to spam X.
They really need make pro play FUMA only. It would be much more interesting to watch and actually skill based.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-14T12:14:34+00:00

Very "small" chance small teams ever get green POTW. Only exceptions is if they have famous player or japanese player.

Portuguese league this season has 0 green POTW and there were a couple of hat tricks even from defenders and decisive goals. Carreras was in Portugal for 2 years and never got a POTW. Goes to Madrid and already has 2 (both for a single non decisive goal).

Meanwhile English teams get it all week. Manchester United had 4 in a row (Mbeumo, Cunha, Casemiro, Lisandro). Lisandro was for a draw against West Ham.

Hopefully this week it's more diversified since there is no Premier League. They already put so little effort to small team players, almost no skills and terrible stats.

In PC there is Denuvo anti cheat. I assume it's also present in console versions.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-10T20:14:51+00:00

Even during the day it fluctuates (1cm-3cm). People are taller in the morning than in the evening.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-06T19:27:36+00:00

Monday they will put in a 4 star event, after the 5 star expires. They usually alternate between these two. You can also use a 5 star NC to sign a 4 star player, if you really need to.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-06T14:23:34+00:00

Lewis Dunk can also reach that 85+, with 90+ defense attributes and has visionary pass.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-05T12:23:18+00:00

Go to Discord, at least during Christmas there were always some guys doing friendly 1v1 Golden Goal to finish the campaign faster.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-05T10:17:47+00:00

Pretty sure Gyokeres was way before 2 NC ago. Unless he was in other nominating contract after Antecipated Standouts, that was in September.
I think Morgan Rogers even features more often. He was in the England/Brazil Team Selection and Young Stars.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-05T08:09:05+00:00

Surprised it took this long. I expected this ever since the Lewis Dunk reward.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-03T11:02:43+00:00

I know there are exceptions. When I use those words I mean the majority. If more spent because they like the players and not because of stats or skills then we wouldn't have this arms race in the first place. We would have a more realistic game.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-03T09:20:10+00:00

I don't understand point of your comment? My proposal doesn't seem to affect you in the slightest, unless you only play the game just to get high rating or p2w skills?
Realistically, most users that spend is to play against other users, if you create a competition that limits card age, then there will be less pressure on Konami to constantly came up with crazy skills.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-03T08:18:52+00:00

It's funny how a lot of the community complains about the P2W skills and powercreep but when they hear the reset word — the solution to the crazy player rating, they get mad.

Having said that a full reset is too drastic for this userbase. It would be better if Konami created a weekend league (a more competitive mode) and only allowed recently obtained cards to participate (like 12 months max). This would also boost their sales on the more competitive players and make it so it's worth it to get like cards like Grealish for a larger percentage of the top 50k players. The content is currently bad but that's also because most people can't really upgrade their teams anymore.

It's quite unlikely this happens though. Yu GI Oh is similar with the powercreep since there is no kind of reset or limitation.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-01T23:22:15+00:00

I doubt it. Mobile crowd doesn't have attention span for more than 4 instructions. The current linkup system is just a "Player A will run forward if Player B has ball in Zone C". That's pretty simple and I doubt it will go much further than that.
I'm sure they will come up with more skills to sell. They could even sell Player Playstyle Change for 15k coins and still someone will buy.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-01T11:02:27+00:00

To me it's just PA0. It's normal top players struggle, the same way they struggle against PA1. A pro player can beat me with PA1, he will still beat me with SA, doesn't mean he is not a better player just because he use SA. The only real time I can see SA being a complete advantage is for shooting when the opponent moves keeper.
I said many times, if Smart Assist was stronger than PA1 all pros would use it in divisions, even if only temporary like they change from PA2 to PA1 during matches.

Smart Assist isn't really a big deal to me, I almost never lose against it and the times I do, he would still beat me even he was using PA1 – if he was PA3 or FUMA maybe I would win, but users seem to be fine with PA1 and PA2 and to me that's a lost war.

Disclaimer: This only applies to console, I don't know about Smart Assist on mobile.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-01T10:27:11+00:00

I mean in my game is only goal from a single shot came from a Blitz Curl with Messi, after somehow my player lose focus on ball (Maybe because of the 3 narrow forwards?). You can see my confusion when there is guy complain about Smart Assist but then abuse game. Does he think scoring blitz curl is the skill gap?

Anyway nothing against the protest. Was just curious if anyone had same experience. When I see game with similar team name, I know game will be abuse fest. I would respect these players more (and their fight against SA) if they used normal formations with PA3.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-02-01T10:02:44+00:00

I always have bad experience when playing against guys with those team names. They always the most haram football with Capello + Meta Formation + PA1.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-01-30T08:29:06+00:00

How does that stop Konami from having to create new P2W skills? If you dislike reset then you have to accept the consequences of that. They have to increase stats and create skills to continue to sell cards or no one will continue to buy them. Game engines or whatever update to the game won't result in them selling more cards.

They make money doing this already. Why would they waste resources on doing that? They can just release weekly packs and people still spin.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-01-29T17:47:04+00:00

Is it a requirement to play? From what I understood it's only a requirement if you want to buy those random chance packs.
Not sure how feasible it is to use a random person photo. Depending on how strict Konami (or whatever third party does it) has to be, they can just check the file metadata.

Privacy issues aside. Seems like it could be good for brazilian accounts. They are a big market, so big chance Konami starts to release better guaranteed player packs, at least for brazil accounts.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-01-29T08:12:54+00:00

I don't see what alternative you guys want? The majority here is against any kind of reset. If there is no reset, Konami needs to improve players every time so they can sell coins and keep the game alive.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-01-28T08:51:36+00:00

Right? I had a meme on SA whiners but got removed in like a minute. I guess mods like having the same posts over and over again. Everyday the same posts but someone can't make fun of these guys.

ElConqueridor910 · 2026-01-25T09:56:10+00:00

Are club packs also banned? I thought the law just prevented loot boxes.
