MARQUEE MATCHUPS

Once again, we come to a point in the footballing calendar where the majority of leagues take a break to accommodate for International Friendlies. Now while there are a handful of larger matches taking place, the sheer volume of quantity of games happening over the next week or so is simply gigantic, leaving it extremely difficult for us to predict exactly which games will feature. 

So, as we come across such a difficult time in terms of investments, how can we best spread the risk in order to minimalize potential losses and at the same time maximize potential gains? Well luckily this is something that we can cover and explain with relative ease across this article! To start with however, let's get into some of the larger games taking place! 

Germany vs Spain

First up we have a clash between two of the world's strongest International teams. With Germany currently holding the #1 spot on the ranking's table, Spain aren’t far behind in #6 and while Spain may have age and experience in abundance, the youthful German side looks more dangerous than ever. Investments for all these games should be simple enough, if you're not looking at gold players, you're looking in the wrong place! 

Netherlands vs England

After the recent heartbreak of falling short during the qualification stages, Holland have absolutely nothing to lose during this match against England. With England currently sitting at #16 in the world ranking and Netherlands at #21, on paper there really isn't much that separates these two nations either. Once again, it's gold, gold, gold when it comes to investments, just remember to consider rating and rarity as well. 

Russia vs Brazil

Next up we head over to Russia, where we find the hosts of the 2018 World Cup welcoming a rejuvenated and scary looking Brazil. Russia currently sit at #63 in the world rankings, while the visitors, Brazil, are all the way up at #2. On paper this looks likely to deliver one-way traffic, with a smooth and comfortable win for Brazil, however when any two International teams meet, expect the unexpected!  

Italy vs Argentina

The final game we will be taking a look at this week features Italy, a team who provided the entire world with a shock after failing to qualify for the World Cup. The hosts currently sit at #14 in the world rankings, while Argentina with their superstar packed attacking lineup, sits way up the table at #4. With Italy having nothing to lose and Argentinian players trying to nail down their place in the team, we could perhaps be treated to one hell of a match! 

Ensuring You Get The Most Out Of Your Investments

Right, so we briefly touched on making these investments as strong as possible and now it's finally time to jump into a little more detail around how we can execute this. As many of you will be aware, EA releases League SBC's across the year. Each league consists of an individual challenge for each team within the league and then ultimately a prize SBC player for completing them all. As it stands we currently have four leagues left that we expect to see; La Liga, Premier League, Pro League and Scottish League.  

It is incredibly easy for us to simply use these above predictions and pick up any old gold player from the mentioned nationalities, however if we were to double down on these selections, we give ourselves multiple chances of success, while significantly reducing the chance of failure. Buy Brazilian players from La Liga, or Argentinian players from the Premier League, however you decide to go about this, or whichever match you decide to invest in, just remember that we can make our investments really work for us this time!
