Yeah to be fair they were fine this time, I was away Tuesday-Sunday so was worried but luckily the objectives only needed 5 wins so playing just 2 days was enough.They friendlies have been a doddle so far
I remember TOTS last year the cups were an absolute ballache, grinding super hard and not even getting full rewards for some weeks. It was really annoying because I'd got all these nice special cards from the different leagues from prior promos and then of course in the cups I'd be playing against red TOTS cards like I'd be rocking my 88 Bundesliga squad I've been dying to try out and then bam i'm against 95 Mane they just unlocked during the day on Friday in WL.
As for saving packs for TOTY I think it's fine as a strategy as long as you haven't been saving for too long, some people started over a month ago so have several hundred packs, personally I think in a game that effectively is dead come September the opportunity cost of not opening packs for that long is quite high. Like sure, you will have more chance at TOTY cards with hundreds of packs, and TOTY cards should be really good, but it will have meant potentially having a worse team in the build up spanning several weeks. I've been opening fodder packs and used them to do the Zidane and Maldini SBCs because they are both decent cards but also two of my all-time favourite players to watch.
I'm gonna save the packs I get this week now I've finished Maldini, as there aren't many fire/ice cards in packs that I want. Not expecting much from a couple of dozen packs so anything good will be a bonus.
Regarding Champs and bottling it last match, if I'm at a threshold for wins in the last game I just roll out the loan players, doesn't always work as it's a less familiar team but a bit of extra firepower sometimes does the trick.
