Alright, let’s yak about this FC 24 TOTW 1, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, huh? Like them city folks’ stuff. But I heard some young’uns jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, ya know?
So, this FC 24 TOTW 1, they tell me it’s a team of the week. Team of the week! Like, the best players from last week’s games, or somethin’. These young’uns, they get all excited about it. They say it came out on September 20th, 2023. Don’t ask me how I remember that, I just do. Maybe it’s all them numbers they keep shoutin’ at the TV.
Now, this team, it’s got 18 players. Eighteen! That’s more than enough to fill a whole farm field, I tell ya. And they say these players, they got prices. Prices! Like you’d buy ’em at the market, like a good head of cabbage. But these prices, they ain’t no cabbage prices. Some go all the way up to 160, whatever that means. Could be 160 chickens, for all I know. That’s a lot of cluckin’, let me tell ya.
- They say you can play against this team. Play against ’em! Like a real game, but in that there… video game thingy. I seen them young’uns doin’ it. Staring at that box all day, makin’ all sorts of noises. “Goal!” they yell, or somethin’ like that. Crazy kids.
- And there’s this… “transfer market,” they call it. Transfer market! Sounds like movin’ hay from one field to another, but it ain’t hay they’re movin’. It’s players! They buy ’em, they sell ’em, they trade ’em. Just like them fellas tradin’ horses back in the day. Only these horses got names like… Mo-hamed Sa-lah, or somethin’ like that. Heard he’s a good one, this Salah fella. Scores goals, they say. A real go-getter. Folks are always talkin’ about him, so he must be important.
This market thing, it goes up and down like a seesaw. One day a player’s worth a whole cow, the next day he’s worth a chicken. Makes no sense to me. But them young’uns, they understand it. They say it’s all about “supply and demand.” Supply and demand! Sounds like somethin’ you’d hear at the feed store. But it’s got to do with how many players are around and how many folks want ’em.
And they say Wednesdays, that’s when the market goes crazy. Crazy! Everyone’s sellin’ their players, tryin’ to make a quick buck, I guess. Like when the price of corn drops, everyone rushes to sell before it drops lower. Same thing, just with these fancy player fellas.
Then on Thursdays, there’s somethin’ called “rewards.” Rewards! Like gettin’ a ribbon at the county fair for your prize-winning pumpkin. But these rewards, they’re more players, or maybe some of them… “coins,” they call ’em. Coins! Not real money, mind you, but money in the game. These kids and their games, I tell ya.
So, this FC 24 TOTW 1, it’s a big deal, I guess. Players, prices, markets, rewards… It’s a whole world in that little box. And these young’uns, they’re livin’ in it. Me? I’ll stick to my chickens and my cabbage. At least I know what they’re worth. But hey, if them young’uns are happy, that’s all that matters. As long as they ain’t causin’ too much trouble, and they remember to do their chores, I ain’t complainin’. And maybe, just maybe, this Mohamed Salah fella is worth all the fuss. Heard he’s real good, you know. Maybe he could even help me chase them pesky crows outta my cornfield! Now that would be somethin’!
This FC 24 thing, it’s got all sorts of information about players. They call it a “database.” Like a big book full of names and numbers, but on that there screen. I tell you what, it’s more complicated than plantin’ a field of potatoes. But these kids, they seem to know their way around it. They can find any player they want, know their stats, whatever that means. It’s like they got a whole encyclopedia in their heads, but it’s all about these player fellas.
And this “market analysis” they talk about. Market analysis! Sounds like somethin’ a banker would do, figurin’ out how much money folks got. But it’s all about these players, seein’ who’s worth what, who’s goin’ up, who’s goin’ down. It’s like tryin’ to predict the weather, only instead of rain and sunshine, it’s goals and assists. I guess that Mohamed Salah fella would be a sunny day, always scorin’ them goals.
