Got Alaba last week, and Neymar this morning - from Squad Battle Gold 2 rewards/pre-order free packs. Great start for Fifa 18. Time to switch to the online division.

So I have opened total 6 packs since last week - 4 packs from Squad Battle Gold 2 rewards and 2 free packs from pre order packs.

4 worth highlighted pulls in those packs - NIF Casillas, NIF Alaba, NIF Neymar, IF Guedes. Already sold Alaba for 115k. Kept Casillas for 2nd squad, haven't try NIF Neymar yet cause just packed this morning. Probably will sell that IF Guedes.

For the Neymar walkout, it first show Brazil flag so I thought it would be someone like Coutinho max, then it show PSG emblem so I thought Thiago Silva (still have that impression Neymar still with Barca), then it show LW I know its gonna be Neymar.. tadaaaaa 92 NIF Neymar. Pure luck btw. For Alaba its easy to guess from the walkout sign + the country flag.

Previous weeks were all craps lol.

Not really, sitting with 180k coins now. Now Neymar price is crashing and NIF Guedes - if I sell both of them I'd probably have around 800k.

My current squad is:
Romero
Coleman | Smalling | Rojo | Shaw
Cazorla | Matic | Sigurdsson
Mahrez | Son
Morata

All NIF.

True. Too bad this week I couldnt play any match so will not get free packs to open next week. Guess my luck will stop here. The current squad is fun to play, especially Son is so agile & dynamic, and Shaw's crossing is really good. Not to forget 84 Morata is superb for a NIF 84 card. Perhaps I'll spend some coins to get a OTW Morata to replace NIF version and also as investment for future IF upgrades.

It is 24 hours refresh for the week days and 8 hours refresh for the weekend. Total 45 matches per week include the first game.

I normally play 30-35 matches per week - 80% semi pro 20% legendary. Hit about 25k points each week for Gold 2 rank (I am not a super good player, max online division is Div 2 in Fifa 17 only and my lost games always greater than won games lol).

Last week I started to reduce matches played per week to about 30 matches for 20k points and still get Gold 2 rewards. My idea is to reduce until 25 games (12 in weekdays, 13 in weekends) to get 21k points to consistently get Gold 2 rewards.

Didn't get time to play SB last week. Anyway I'm really having fun opening pack in this version of Fifa, that strike rate is much higher (maybe more card selections now?) - opened 6 x 7,500 packs + 1 pre-order free pack yesterday & this morning - got IF Sarabia and IF Mandanda, nothing spectacular but got the pack money back.

Going to try my luck again next week, this week can spend some time on SB.
