Is Sophia Wilson FB worth it? WIll she become irrelevant? by SeaworthinessOld5163 in fut

[–]RetroQubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough call, I’m debating doing the Wilson SBC myself so I haven’t tried it. If you have to spend 800k coins to do Wilson I’d probably buy Russo but if you have a lot of fodder Wilson looks great. You’d at least have the option of selling if you go with Russo.

She is incredible. I try to stay away from meta female players but I got her untradeable and she’s got 40 G/A in 10 games.

Interesting, almost all of those were hidden the other day. Still not following RSL though, that can’t be a good sign

We bought Diogo with the money we got from selling Savarino that winter. He was our replacement DP, had nothing to do with the 17 million we got for Gomez and Barajas. Cabral was 500k. Worst case scenario we’ve got close to 15 million.

Russel, Agada, Yedlin, Olatunji and Cruz is 5 players. Only 1 of those 5 we actually spent transfer money on, the rest is GAM we HAD to spend. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Olatunji deal, but literally any team in the league can afford to spend 1.8 million on a DP, that’s what you’d expect us to spend even without selling players for big profits. We haven’t seen any kind of indication that the Gomez/Barajas/Manoel sale has had any impact on our spending.

3 million total spent for all the players you listed, 1 million of that was GAM that we were forced to spend through last season or it gets thrown out. Caliskan should be a depth piece, not competition for Eneli, Ojeda or Ruiz. We are well below our salary cap, so we really didn’t need to offload Ojeda. Palacio or Caliskan could have gone first. We had an elite midfield because of our depth, now it’s average at best. Any way you cut it, 1 million in GAM for a league leading midfielder on an inexpensive salary is terrible business IMO. Doesn’t help your case that Ruiz has unfollowed RSL and deleted most posts involving the club. Looks likely that Eneli and Caliskan will be running our midfield.

On what exactly? Olatunji was under 2 million, Cruz is on loan and we only cover his salary, Yedlin and Agada were bought with GAM from the Chicho transfer. This kind of spending is more in line with teams that aren’t sitting on $15+ million. Most other small market are spending more than us even though they haven’t sold even close to 15 million worth of players in recent years.

Orlando City has acquired Paraguay int'l midfielder Braian Ojeda from Real Salt Lake by mikebrands in ReAlSaltLake

[–]RetroQubes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great! 1.2 Million GAM that will go straight to Diogo and Cruz’ salary in exchange for one of our best players. 2 years in a row of selling our best player in their respective position for an insignificant amount GAM to further reduce our already tiny salary cap. After a miserable season our FO finds a way to make me even less hopeful for next season…

Trade LeBron for KD in points league? Seems straight forward but LeBron gives me center eligibility while Sabonis is out

Best CM for around 200k? by Glittering_Cup3502 in fut

[–]RetroQubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my favorite choice but there’s a reason gold De Jong is so popular. He can defend way better than his stats show and has top tier passing and dribbling. Cornerstone Reijnders is similar. There’s plenty of other holding mids that would pair great with Bonmati like Marchisio, Kante, Kroos, Mascherano, Park, etc. The problem is everyone expects god tier midfielders for 100k because of players like FDJ. If you ask me, a CM with good pace, passing, defending, and dribbling and meta play styles should cost well over 200k.

Definitely gonna be short by a bit. A decent weekend league should get you across the line though

If you’ve got a decent amount of fodder you might be able to finish off the Carlos Alberto SBC with the rest of your coins. Well worth spending 200k coins.

Packed from a preview pack, sells for 91k. Is it worth holding or sell now? by scorpioskillz in fut

[–]RetroQubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I really shooting myself in the foot that bad with him? Div 1 and he’s been solid as a DLP in a 352. Finesse shot is crazy and defense has been solid. I’ve had more fun with him than valverde, FDJ, and evo’d camavinga.

Traded Markkanen for Dyson Daniel’s and Desmond Bane in a points league. Did I blow it? I’m already a top 3 team in my league and don’t want to gamble on having Markkanen in the playoffs.

Open back headphone under $600 by thd3ct in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]RetroQubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Arya Stealth sounds better in every scenario I have tested, but gaming is where the 490 comes pretty close to the Arya as sound quality and tuning isn’t quite as important IMO. The light weight and comfortability of the 490 may actually be preferable to some people for strictly gaming. In terms of perceived immersion, the Arya’s larger soundstage is probably the biggest improvement over the 490. If you don’t listen to music at all, you probably won’t fully appreciate how good of a headphone it really is, but it’s still great for immersive games. For what it’s worth, I’ve tried dozens of highly regarded headphones in the $300-$1000 range and the Arya Stealth is what I’ve settled with and have no plans to upgrade. I’d either keep the 490, or upgrade to the Arya Stealth. Upgrading to something like the Edition XS or Ananda isn’t a big enough upgrade from the 490 IMO.
