Perhaps the weirdest change is that every race will now start at 10 past the hour instead of on the hour. Apparently this is to "enhance the experience for the viewer", although for me it's just adding unnecessary confusion.

Mahrez was a no show at training again today (i.e. he hasn't shown up since Tuesday) and won't be considered to play Swansea at the weekend. I'm not entirely sure what to think, on one hand he had no choice in his employment as it was being dictated by Leicester's insane asking price, on the other hand he is acting like a petulant child who didn't get what he wanted and is throwing a tantrum.

Batshuaiyi was obviously the glue keeping the team together.

The weird thing is it does work by reading down as well as across other than the "keep".

I'm trying to explain to the team I'm in that just playing lots doesn't mean we can get the Titan cards, we're a Beast team and will be +1ing before we can get even close to the Monster card. They seem to think they can still manage it through working together as a team, bless them.

I think Facebook and Amazon may well be interested, maybe Twitter as well. More perhaps to prepare them for a major league sport further down the line.

"Another club wanted our manager who chose to stay with us, therefore we're sacking him." Football owners in 2018 everyone.

Diego Carlos was sent off for Nantes against PSG tonight after getting tangled up with the referee, the referee then kicked him, and he got the second booking for dissent aimed at the referee, who you may remember had just kicked him. Worth watching for Mbappe's amazing dive at the start, which went unpunished.

I know most of you hate the Steelers which is why I tend to keep my mouth shut until the end of the season It's a shame to lose but injuries have just killed us in the latter part of the season, none of the big three B's are 100% and losing Shazier was a huge hole to fill. No excuse for giving up 45 points at home though to a defensive-minded team with a mediocre offense though. Perhaps the biggest shame is that it seems a Patriots Super Bowl victory is almost a guarantee.

Romelu Lukaku is looking into legal action against Everton owner Farhad Moshiri after Moshiri claimed that Lukaku didn't re-sign with Everton after he "received a voodoo message" on a "pilgrimage to Africa" telling him to leave Everton and join Chelsea, which he of course didn't. There's always something you type every day that you have to re-read to make sure you're not talking crap, but that is in fact a true statement.

Looks like a 2 year Sirotkin/Williams deal will be announced in the next few days. I for one am glad, I was getting concerned at the recent trend of prioritising talented drivers over pay drivers.

It seems DC have put their foot down on Deathstroke again, and they won't be letting Manu Bennett play him on TV again to avoid confusion with the upcoming DCEU movie.

They've turned off Squad Battle updates for the day, I assume because everyone celebrates Christmas and nobody wants to spend the day playing FIFA.

Jonathan Rea in second, because... reasons I guess. Northern Ireland voting reasons being the most likely. Happy Mo won, but neither Joshua or Hamilton in the top 3 is bizarre.

Mid-season finale:

I have two Rich Swann WM33 Pros and I don't want to use either of them, but they're two of my top 7 cards.

Not enough can be said about how good the Titan cards look compared to how hideous the Monster cards look.

Holy crap Eruption, 10 Robot Rumble all the way to beating Carbide. The whole show was full of amazing battles.

Francis Ngannou is a scary man. A scary, scary, scary man.

Now I have the guitar riff in my head from before every race. As for the last race of the season I gave up watching at about half distance, it may have been the most pointless grand prix of all time and what really is a poor race track in terms of exciting racing.

I somehow ended up managing to get the Ultimate, WM33, Summerslam 17 and Beast cards from this RD. A decent haul.

I guess it's game over now, but in the mean time the ECB are investigating if Bairstow headbutted Cameron Bancroft in a bar a few weeks ago.

I've gone back to my WM33 save because my patience ran out. So if anyone wants me on a team let me know

Weirdly, that's exactly my scenario from a jumbo premium and a premium players pack

I'm freed up now but the team is full, you may also have to lower the required tier to Legendary to let me in
