    I thought he had a chance of getting it together under Hughes. Didn't spend much time in my ancestral homeland, alas.

    Is he the highest rated yank in the game with up to date stats?
    Is his the most expensive card to get in the UT mode?

    Yedlin is typically most expensive, but this card will replace it I'm sure.

    As the advertising slogan goes "Jameson on ice. Nice."

    FYI, Jameson is the Dublin whiskey and "the chaser" in the Dublin working man's tradition of walking into a pub after a hard day's work (if he could get a day's work, that is :() and ordering "a Guinness and chaser there, squire" to the barman.

    It used to be a real working-class whiskey, but Pernod-Ricard acquired Irish Distillers in the 1980s and very successfully repositioned it, helped by plugging Jameson into Pernod Ricard's international distribution network making it the Irish whiskey for foreigners. If the "if the Yanks/Germans/French/etc like it . . ."

    Jameson's a hard man's luxury and a perfect whiskey for a night on the tiles.

    It's the choice of basically everyone in the service industry where I come from. So still kind of working class around here....but for Yanks. I actually prefer Tullamore Dew if given a choice. But most people drink Bourbon around these parts.

    Can't get much more working class than the Duke.

    It's pretty dull. Brooks plays well though.

    Yedlin's in-form goes for 71,000 on XB1, Brooks's goes for about 12,000. Beast of a card though. Pairs nicely with Hummels in my Bundesliga team.

    Howard's in-form is the highest rated at 84.

    Didn't know there was an if yedlin.

    Howard nif is garbage.

    Can't play Hummels without a shadow. Used him and Boateng for 300 games I bet. Only played the if brooks with besler in tournaments, but he's a 91 in game with anchor card.

    Brooks if wasn't great for me, but that might have been down to my hybrid and the fifa funk I was in during FUT Champs.

    The funk is real. I've been a mess since the Premier League WL a few weeks back. Tilted that weekend, then sold all of my key players (BL & La Liga guys) while the price was high and I didn't qualify for the one weekend I'd looked forward to coming around all year.

    I've been trying to find something new that works for me, and it's just not. Nothing. Literally nothing works for me. Haven't really even come close to getting back to Champs league. Barely can win a D5 game these days. Thinking I blow everyone out again and play only 84 or lower.

    I feel you. I feel like the If's and the special cards can make you play worse outside of a few of the really overpowered players. The normal gold cards feel better, tbh lol I like to use Serie A teams of Ligue 1 teams. It just pisses me off playing against the same boring, overpowered EPL squads over and over and over again.

    JAB really has the ceiling to be the CB in the history of our program.

    He probably is the most talented for sure.

    Brooks' A game is better than any defender we've ever had in my opinion.

    I scored a hat trick with Musa off the bench yesterday and felt like a huge jerk.
