My FUT 22 Adventure – Episode 2
By Jim James
Stuart Armstrong has sold. Yay! We now have 5925 coins, but I want to save up for one of the retro kits, then I’ll use all my funds on improving the team. I’m also going to sell some of my redundant tradeable players to get the funds.
After a selling spree, we have 16472 coins now with many players still up, so we’ll play another game! We move the skill level down to professional because this is a good team we’re facing, let’s go!
16’ Zouma’s header saved by their Mendy.
20’ Penalty us. Cavani slots it home comfortably. 1-0.
44’ James’ cross into the middle finds a Raheem Sterling broken free of the shackles of his marker. He doubles the advantage. 2-0.
45’+3’ Mahrez is free on the right side. He crosses it to Foden who scores. 3-0.
3-0 up at half-time, it’s smooth sailing at the JC Stadium.
50’ Calamity at the back as our Mendy fumbles Clerc’s shot and he gets one back. 3-1. We’re putting Haaland on for Cavani and Kimmich in for a booked Zouma.
61’ Haaland breaks free and his shot is saved by their Mendy, but he puts home the rebound. 4-1.
65’ Mahrez runs down the right and pulls back. When it looks like he’s about to shoot he plays it in to Eriksen who scores. 5-1.
75’ A defensive lapse as Jesus is allowed to run past our whole defence, and he scores. 5-2.
84’ Penalty us. We have another spot kick but their Mendy saves it.
88’ We’re found with not enough men at the back and Jesus scores another. 5-3.
Full-Time, and the win was more comfy than the scoreline suggests. A good 5-3 win. We go into Gold 3 for that.
A couple player and item sales later, we get 25,000 coins and I buy the AC Milan 95/96 retro. After changing my stadium, Let’s play Game 2 of this episode!
5’ Osimhen hits the bar. We’re lucy not to concede there.
12’ Foden has an open header in the box, and his shot is saved. However the save rebounds off the post and in! 1-0 us.
23’ Thiago has a penalty for them, and it is off the post. It stays 1-0 us.
Half-Time, it’s another narrow lead, let’s see this out. We bring on Haaland and Jota at half time.
66’ Mahrez dawdles about in the box and finally shoots, his shot is saved but Jota puts away the rebound. 2-0.
90’+4’ Thiago scores a screamer. They get a consolation. 2-1.
Full-Time, and we don’t move up but it is a good win. From objective we get a 2 75-83 rated player pack. We also complete a daily login upgrade SBC, getting a two 81+ rated players pack. We start with the former, and get Angelino, I won’t complain one bit. We also get duplicate Portu, but it’s an untradeable pack. From the 81+ pack it’s just Eriksen, a duplicate so we swap him with the tradeable Eriksen. We also get Lorenzo Pellegrini.
We play our next game, but with a Bundesliga team. We go on Professional, let’s begin!
13’ Haaland receives the ball on the edge of the area, and dances around the defenders and puts it home. 0-1.
20’ Muller runs with the ball, and fires on the edge of the area. It goes in? Beautiful strike. 0-2.
30’ A beautiful counter attack ends with Muller’s shot saved.
37’ Another counter attack, fronted by Rodin Baku, ends in Haaland’s header making it 3. 0-3.
Half-Time, it’s comfortable, I don’t see us losing now.
59’ Handball by Felipe. Penalty for us.
60’ Haaland converts. He gets his hat trick. 0-4.
Full time. We win 4-0, and we go up to Gold 2, but barely. We may not be there next time I check in the game.
That’s all for this edition. I hope you had a good time, until next time.
