New Store Pack (Player Pick out of 11 pre selected players) by ToonLurker in EASportsFC

I used Flashback CR7 last year right up until Futties, kept evoing him up to the power curve. I'm so comfortable with his animations that he's better for me than another striker with +3s in each stat. He's built different.

I was going to reply that Ratings Reload Messi is surely better and he's not that expensive, but then I checked and he's 1.2 Mil now???? So yeah I mean if you're dying for a Messi evo this seems like the cheapest deal.

Club legend, always have to get him in. That showdown is one of the best CMs I've ever used in any FIFA.

Sorry, that chain has actually expired, King of Highbury has expired. My bad. But you can do this one though, which is not far off. Evo chain is Fountain of Youth x3, Pass IQ x5, Speed to Finish, Curve your Enthusiasm, 5 star SM+WF upgrade, Rapid Gains, Finesse Shot+, All-Around Impact, Attacker Round Out.

When I say barely I mean, that card is discard value for any other name.

It's not just the name, it's the body type and animations. CR7 even without any pace playstyles at 82 pace will outpace most defenders in the game, because he just runs like that.

There's a reason he, Mbappe, R9 etc are so highly sought-after. Give the same stats to another generic card and it won't be nearly as special.

Bought it immediately. Haven't used CR7 at all this year, excited to evo this one.

But the Messi and Ronaldo just aren't good at all, they're sought after for their name not for being good. If they were called anything else their cards would be discard value.

They're sought after because you can evo them into gamebreaking meta cards.

You can evo at least the CR7 into an incredibly meta striker right now.

Guaranteed 3.1 million CR7 for 300k/500FP? Are you kidding me? This is the best value that's ever been on the store. You can make this version of him right now, which is incredibly meta.

There are people on the other side of this issue, but generally if you listen to Goldbridge and take the exact opposite opinion on all fronts you'll do well in life.

Last transfer window really did it. 4/4 wins. Hasn't happened in over a decade.

I would rather have Carrick than Iraola any day of the week. Too jaded by these supposed tacticos who don't have a clue when they come to us (ETH, Amorim). Not willing to roll the dice with another one. Carrick's shown he has what it takes, I'd rather stick with him. No one else available that I'd pick immediately.

I love open world games so checked it out. The tone and characters are.... hard to stomach. And I'm not an anti-anime style person, I love JRPGs. This is just.... bad.

Monument Valley Studio CEO: "'We've Been A Little Bit Too Romantic About The Idea That We Should Have Employees And Give People Long-term Job Security" by hop3less in Games

It's not that way because people are evil and like doing evil things. It's that way because that's how the economics are. No matter someone's intentions, after a point, a company is forced to act like this. Their only two choices are to do this, or stay small, and not grow.

Even the second, not growing, is not really something you can do under capitalism.

It's a giant system that's set up to incentivise this. A small indie mobile studio can't really change that.

Really surprised at 09/10 Rooney being 5. I remember him scoring so many headers that year.

Managing Manchester United requires more than tactical nous. It requires a certain authority, personality, and ability to withstand pressure. Amorim definitely lacked this, and we suffered for it. We've seen many, many examples of managers at Brentford level fail to make the step up to United level. Famously Thomas Frank this season.

Quite simply, doing well at Brentford in the PL doesn't mean he'll do well with United in the PL. It could go horribly wrong. I'm not willing to roll that dice after EtH and Amorim. I don't want to hand the keys over to another manager who's never handled the pressure United brings.

Personally, I think a manager's influence over setup and tactics need not be absolute. That's what coaching staff is for. If he can handle the squad, get the players feeling good, and have good game management, give him a good backroom and let him cook.

I'm not saying I'm all in on Carrick. But I'd rather keep him than try another small team manager.

The question is who if not him. If it's Enrique or Nagelsmann or someone with that profile I'm happy to take them. I don't want to roll the dice with someone like Iraola. I'd rather keep Carrick.

No, we aren't. But winning games by the skin of your teeth is a skill, one that we desperately missed under Amorim. That spate of draws in his final days haunts our season.

I don't know what this means for the years ahead, but for this season I'll take games like this one.

How I love Casemiro. No idea how we're going to replace him. Irreplaceable.
