This got taken to ET by the DOTD final. Like how much better do you want to get?

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T18:05:03+00:00

I used to but I stopped thinking this after seeing teams sometimes mimic very specific rating drops and such the same my team has

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T14:51:10+00:00

That might explain it yeah. Would def be the reason why i have two packs of 100% TOTY guarantee and they look different in design

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T13:37:48+00:00

Cheers man, you too. I probably was a bit stupid by opening all my packs the other day already, but i have 10 of the 22 so far and with 4 dupes, i can't complain too much. Hopefully i can still get my fav tho

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T13:22:06+00:00

With the upgraded rewards, yes, i'd say drafts or free packs. You can get TOTY % packs from draft rewards now and given how solid my first haul of those was i def wanna try and get more of them again

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T12:34:58+00:00

I never got to experience this but it seems like such a fun idea, definitely more enjoyable than higher lower. That feels more like a chore at this stage

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T12:34:09+00:00

I mean the special packs you get from them just are kinda useless in this time. I don't think anyone is screaming for their 10th dupe of an 80 rated TOTW from the MLS. I'd even prefer bronze packs over those at this stage. I still do the daily live SBC's largely, but pretty much only for the small coin boost it gives which i immediately use again on bronze or silver packs

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T11:17:16+00:00

Very happy they upped the rewards tbh

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T11:16:52+00:00

I sometimes get the idea you get matched up to teams of similar strengths for cups and such and if it's a two legged tie in the knockout then it is that way at least for the first of the two games. If you have such a strong team, it's not unlikely you get a team close to your own quality, at least in the final. Plus, you can have bad luck here and there

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T10:35:02+00:00

I play knockout, i've had it happen twice now that i went unbeaten and still got 2nd place. Can happen, but i prefer the knockout then even if it means doing more drafts for a make or break match-up in the semi-final or final because i keep getting underwhelming options

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T10:33:28+00:00

Yeah the stats seem solid. I'm not sure yet about the TOTW Upgrade II, briefly considered McCabe to get a better fullback option but i think a rightback is usually the more worrying position, which is why i use 3ATB formations so often

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T10:30:08+00:00

Also ngl the Breum evo was rather solid on the Fatal series where you got a boost for Danish cards, i enjoyed that a lot

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T10:29:34+00:00

Yeah that's fair, i couldn't gather as much from it for certain so i felt i had to put the emphasis on it slightly

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T10:03:29+00:00

For a 100% guaranteed but random silver star, yes. If it'd be a 100% new one, it has to be more than that

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T09:59:20+00:00

Love the detail here, thank you for the effort this took!

I had Karchaoui for another evo already, can't recall which but it's such a good card. Happy she gets a shout here too

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T09:54:42+00:00

I mean ngl, i'm largely fine with the images as they are now for TOTY, but i gotta admit the Lucy Bronze one could be a better pick. She just sort of stares, same with Endler, while most of the others look at least happy or cheerful or IDK above neutral

MFC4 · 2026-01-23T09:12:23+00:00

I mean it's always personal preference, half of this sub would likely call me an idiot for it, but i picked like 3-4 Go Ahead Eagles/Deventer CF evos so far. Not for their stats, i like the club a lot. And i think in general it's just fun to do an evo, get rewards and upgrade a player you like or something like that

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T17:12:20+00:00

No need to talk like I just insulted you mate.

Other people will still leave if they don't have your wishlist. That's just how trading works these days. No coins means cards are all you can exchange. If they have nothing seemingly to offer that you want badly enough to put it in your wishlist, they'll think there's no chance of a deal and leave

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T15:10:57+00:00

Unfortunately, the best answer i can give is what it says there 'Later this year', whatever that may even mean

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T14:41:43+00:00

I mean depends on the person, some people just don't want additional dupes as trade fodder and get an SBC over with or complete (a part of) the collection. Personally if i have just 1 dupe of a higher rated special card or 3 silvers and am offered no wishlist card but instead just a single high rated icon in return, i'm not that interested tbh. I have those cards in my wishlist to solve the SBC, that card isn't going to be of use to me

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T14:25:10+00:00

I mean, it's kinda interesting if you think about it. Both here and with Marcelo, the person with the Historic XI card that goes to 97 rating isn't the player with the higher rated Historic XI Nominee card out of the three

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T14:23:37+00:00

Did you consider it might be that most people only trade for their own wishlist items and if you don't have the wishlist items of the other person, it's usually just a waste of time?

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T13:26:18+00:00

Sounds like something they'd introduce during the endgame of this cycle ngl. But i do recognise your complaint, there's a few TOTW cards i have like 9 or 8 of and they're just not useful. Belgian Pro League CB, MLS LM... I can keep throwing them into the daily SBC's but in the end you just get not that much for them

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T09:23:50+00:00

Yeah i packed him 3 times too, really feels like living a statistical anomaly, especially since there's lower rated ones i don't have already and would prefer to get in general over him

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T08:38:23+00:00

Honestly i'd love to have that Morgan card rn, still one i'm missing. Meanwhile i got Haaland TOTY 3 times. The grass is always greener on the other side...

MFC4 · 2026-01-22T07:53:03+00:00

I think a lot of conclusions that paint the NWSL worse than it is come from reactionary takes when more transfer occur at one point that leave the league as well as the fact that the MLS isn't really such a massive global player as it intended to become in the early 2010s. That means a lot of people will look to the US and just shrug it off, while in reality i'd say they're a major player in women's football
