    Yes I have a few of my younger players snapped up by Premier League teams whether they get as much gametime remains to be seen. Nypan at man city is rumoured to be going to Middlesbrough on loan which might be a decent move for me

    Luckily most of my young players moving have actually moved to places they get game time or got instant loans (Penders who Chelsea almost instantly loaned)

    My best one was Nygren. Was one of my fairly early fir the future punts. Had just started to get regular minutes and scoring and Celtic snapped him up this summer where he is playing. As Celtic players are almost cheat codes that's a great move

    Did they announce the later deadline today and I just missed it or is it totally random it locks at 10pm?

    It's because Real Madrid kick off at 8pm tonight, so they wanted that game in this gameweek so everyone has the same advantage for the streaks I believe.

    Has anyone actually won anything worthwhile on the wheel yet BTW. I seem to almost always get ether Miss or Spin Again (and Spin Again ends up then being a miss lol). And on the golden wheel after 10 I just get really small essence or XP. Although last one I did get a country reveal so I suppose that saves me 500 essence later today as I'm onto win 3660 essence plus my sealing bonus of 104 so I will get another craft

    Might change them at around 8pm if there are any new predicted start data but these are what I'm looking to go with

    upload_2025-8-19_12-38-10.png

    Would have liked to have put another U23 team in but u23 keepers who will start are limited, Penders is the only 1 I have and the few who will start that I could buy are too expensive to justify when I already have too many keepers to play every game week now

    Last week I won 3 market credits in a row, which was exactly what I needed at the time so meant I bought my Mainz and some Crystal Palace players on the cheap. Generally though, like you, most 50/100 essence with the odd miss thrown in. I've not had a single good golden spin yet.

    I tend to miss although the odd spin again gets you nearer the golden spin which have had £14.81 credit and yesterday the best 5 option for crafting. Otherwise just low essence.

    I tend to get miss, spin again or 25/50 essence. Had a best 5 clues .
    But unfortunately for me have still to get my head around the whole crafting system.

    Now the game week has ended all your fixtures should be updated for Game Week 2 on your fixture webpage

    upload_2025-8-19_22-20-49.png

    Looks like a decent week for me. I already hit the 2nd tier MLS and Contender Streak so have already claimed about $16 and then have $3 more coming from my MLS placement. And the essence I'm on to win coupled with what I have already plus the Nation reveal I have should allow me to do two crafts with all the hints. Although I might just do one as knowing my luck I'll get a special and not have enough to use all the reveals


    It's certainly more complex and also more random than the old one but it is fairly simple.

    To start a craft it costs 1000 essence. This draws you 10 random cards that are hidden. These can be from 1 of 4 types of draw that is also random

    • Standard (75% chance) - The cards can be from any tier. Each one has a 43% chance of being T5 and a 1% of being a T0/Star. With the other tiers percentages being between that
    • Special T2 (15% Chance) - All cards are between T2 and T0. 805 chance of each being T2 and 2% a T0
    • Special Star (9.9% chance) - One of teh ten cards will be a guarenteed T0. The rest will be between T1 and T5. 44% chance of being a T5, 2% chance of being a T1
    • Special Full Star (0.1% chance) - All cards are T0 or T1 with an equal 50% chance
    You have 10 minutes to pick one of the 10 cards at random. You can make it a bit less random by buying Clues. These cost 500 essence each for a standard draw and 1000 for a special (unless you have a free redeem when its obviously free). The reveals are

    • Players League
    • Players Nationality
    • Discard the worst 5 cards
    If you use the site @Robert Molenaar@Robert Molenaar posted a few posts back this can actually really help narrow down what each card might be. Obviously in most cases there are multiple potential cards that match the reveals and its fairly annoying when you get say a Turkish player playing the the Turkish league as theres there are loads but atleast it gives you more to base a choice on rather than being fairly random

    Should be fixed. Not sure why on the published version yours wasn't updating when the core spreadsheet was updated (and everyone else's updated correctly)

    I hate this new crafting. I got a T2 special which should have been great. I used my free nationality, paid the 1000 for the league and the 2000 for best 5 (as I forgot that best 5 isn't usually 500 but actually a 1000) and this is what my best 5 were

    upload_2025-8-20_10-45-33.png
    I think I ended up picking perhaps the worst possible card even though checking there were so many good cards I could have pulled who were German in the Bundesliga 2. TBH though none of the possibles were amazing, all were only T2 so it's not like I had a T1 or T0 I could have got.

    Anyway despite getting a 150 extra essence after Opta adjustments I now can't even do a second craft :(

    Oh and on the common game I just thought I would share what I'm doing.

    My cards for the common lineups I'm using mainly the Free Daily packs to build these. You really only need say 2 solid cards in each position for each common competition to be able to farm common essence.

    When it comes to the daily scrap mission I'm using this BUT only when I have 1 star cards maybe sometimes 2 star that are legible for scrap and even then I'm focusing mainly on those who don't play.

    When it comes to spending my essence I'm only spending it on the 50 essence Bench warmer packs so I can farm as much XP as I can

    If I have any cards from the league who the current bench warmer pack is for who I have no intention of ever using in a common lineup as I have 2 or more better cards in that position and their scrap value is 25 or above I will scrap them if I need more essence to open more Bench warmer packs so I can reach (If I'm like 10 or 20 essence short I may also scrap a 10 essence card or two as two scrapped cards equates to 2 cards in the bench warmer packs). I think the max number of cards you can get to before the XP rewards stop is 200. At that point I will look at which clubs in that league I have the best collections of and then scrap all my cards BUT those from the two clubs I have the largest collection in AND the ones I'm using for my lineups

    I will then only buy benchwarmer packs from the other leagues so I can try and get all the XP from the other leagues. For each league I complete all the XP levels I will do as above and sell all my cards but the two biggest collections and my lineup players.

    Once I have all the leagues maxed out on XP rewards I will then switch focus to buying the 250 league specific packs. I will buy the packs containing only the teams of my biggest collections (ideally you want your two main collections to both be in the same pack to maximise chances). I will scrap every card that isn't from that team UNLESS they are a better lineup player than one of my others in which case I will keep that card and scrap the lineup player he will replace.

    Also while doubles count when it comes to the XP missions they don't for the collection missions so if you already have the card in your collection then sell the double

    Won a bit of essence, enough for 2 crafts. Both standard draws and didn't really miss out on anything big.

    upload_2025-8-20_13-37-35.png

    Hopefully someone wants to improve their collections and will take them off my hands. Feel moving forward I'll always try and have a reserve of 2000 essence for every craft I do, just incase I do get put into a special draw.

    Crafted yesterday and used my best 5 card to narrow it down it said there was a star card left but couldn't seem to get the helper you posted to work and ended up with this Screenshot_20250820_144257_Chrome.jpg the star turned out to be a south Korean but not one I had noticed before

    If I had got him I would have actually been happy as I seem to have unintentionally started collected Brondby cards

    Yeah it's screwed most of my lineups. Maybe I shouldn't have split my Celtic players across teams

    I've entered into my 2nd ever arena for this weekend and I've been placed into a golden one. Now I need to decide whether to ruin a couple of all star lineups to try and compete in the arena properly.
