I recently moved to London for studies. I have a PS4 back home so I wanted to see how easy is it get older Fifa editions(mainly looking for 14,15,17,18, and maybe 22-23 if they're reasonably priced) to return home if I'm back for the holidays or something.

I looked at the CeX website and while some versions appeared available, a lot showed only 1-2 available per store, and some pointed to stores far from me. I saw a post from 2 years ago where someone said that they have a lot and they dont know what to do with them so I just wanted to see if that's still the case. Are there any other stores similar to CeX which sell old fifa discs, and how much could I expect to pay for each disc?

I need to book a BEY-BRU flight. Now, I realised I have enough Aeroplan points to use, and there are flights offered by Turkish Airlines. I'm finding flights for 15-22k points+100-150 CAD.

Now, I absolutely need checked luggage since I'll be moving to a new city. Issue is, Air Canada shows nothing about this when booking, saying that it's the partner airline's issue. I've seen some previous threads talking about United Airlines/TK award flights and some people getting ripped off by luggage, and I wanted to see how could I ensure I do get luggage when booking?

I'm seeing I could get "Standard Reward Buisness" for like 18k+200 CAD. Does this absolutely guarantee me checked luggage. What about "Standard Reward Economy"? How do they translate to TK levels?

I've been primarily using Air Canada for transatlantic flights for the past 3-4 years. As a result I've accumulated ~21k aeroplan points.

Now, I'm leaving Canada without having used them. However, I need to book a BEY-BRU flight in September, and I wanted to see if I could book through the Air Canada app, using partner airlines.

Now, I'm seeing a bunch of Turkish Airlines flights with decent layovers, and I wanted to see: has anyone booked Turkish Airlines flights with Aeroplan points and how was your experience? Was it better/worse than not booking with points in any way?

Alternatively, is there a better way to use these points? I tried looking at their store quickly and all gift cards seem canada specific(Simons, Petro Canada, etc.). Is their a better way to use these points?

Hello! I will be starting my master's in applied ML at Imperial College. My current laptop is fairly old and barely functional so I'm looking at upgrading it.

My uni's very basic FAQ mentions that your laptop should have at least 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD. So, after looking at some options, I came across the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3(which I'm finding for around 700$). Now, the one I saw had a core i5, but it seems to be available with i7s.

Now, I'm realising that the advice was directed towards undergrads. So, for ML coursework(and eventual research), should I look for another laptop with more RAM or do I just consider the basic Ideapad good enough?

I'm starting my master's in AML in September and I'm in need of a laptop upgrade. Any good budget options(probably in the 700-1000$ range)? Any particular specs I should look for? The department website suggests 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD Storage, but anything else I should look for

Am I the only one confused as to how in a world cup promo, 2 teams still in the quarter final don't get a single card in that promo?

If you're giving cards to people who are 25, then surely one of Lammens, Seys, Ngoy, Moreira, Fernandez-Pardo, or even Doku if you wanna sell packs, deserves a card.

For switzerland, you could put Jashari or even Manzambi.

Just feels weird that Turkiye gets 2 cards, and so many knocked out teams get a bunch, yet belgium/switzerland get none. Justice for chocolate.

I'm doing a youth academy career mode, one where the main goal is to have a squad which can win Canada the world cup(so, only get canadian academy players). I started with Waterford in Ireland, and have built an okay squad for now(all mid-60s, but high-ish potential).

However, i've played 2 seasons now, and I have no international offers yet at all. Is there a way to force get them? Is the league I'm in an issue? And should I switch teams once my team develops?

Edit: this post now applies to Iran lol

First, I'll start by saying that this is probably not the best to mentality to have, we can and should be able to beat New Zealand and get 2nd place.

That being said, the national team is anything but predictable these days, so this is what still needs to happen before the game so that we can walk in knowing a draw guarantees qualification.

A draw puts us at third place, on 3 points and 0 GD. Seeing as 8/12 best third places go through, we need 4 third placed teams to do worse than that after 3 games, which 2 teams already have(Scotland, South Korea).

Groups I and H still play before us.

In group I, third place will be Senegal/Iraq, based on who wins the game between them. For them to be below us we need:

-a draw between them (or)

-a senegal win by less than 3 goals (or)

-an iraq win by less than 6 goals

In group H, Spain play Uruguay and Saudi plays Cape Verde. We need:

-Spain to beat Uruguay(any Cape Verde/Saudi result given a Spain win ensures the third place team would be on 2 points, regardless of who it is).

> Note: If Spain fails to beat Uruguay, then both teams will be above or on the 3 points 0 GD line, and then any Cape Verde/Saudi result ensures one of the two is too.

If this happens before our game, then a draw with New Zealand ensures we'd be in the top 8 best third placed teams.

Otherwise we'd have to wait for the remaining 3 groups, who are all likely to have a 4-point third place team so if the two groups before us don't end in the way I described I don't see a way where 3 points 0 GD sends us through. Algeria/Austria will likely play for a draw, Croatia will probably avoid defeat to Ghana, and DR Congo will likely beat Uzbekistan, putting them all on 4 points.

Hopefully we won't need that, and can just beat the Kiwis, but at this point, you never know.

Hi! I'll be studying in London next year, so I wanna see what's the usual cost for going to a game. I hear prem games are rather pricey, so I'm briefly looking at championship tickets and working my way down. What's the cost of going to a regular league game for a london club? Are there tickets for say, 20-30£, starting from prem and going down to League Two? Are there times of the year or specific fixtures(say, Carabao Cup or EFL trophy, although that's for League One/Two) where tickets are cheaper? Are student discounts a thing for ticket prices? Thanks!

Very random question, but seeing ex-JPL top scorer Undav score yesterday sprung the question in my mind.

In my case:

GK: Matt Ryan

CB: Ordoñez

CB: Mechele

LB: De Cuyper

RB: Buchanan

CM:Jashari

CM: Vanaken

RW: Talbi

ST: Igor Thiago

LW: Lang

ST: CDK

Bench: Larin, Hendry, Nilsson, Chong, Meunier, Seys, Kossounou, Perisic, Lammens, Diatta

(probably missing a bunch I just looked at the squads quickly and off the top of my head)

Does this work for other JPL Teams?

Edit: Forgot that Lammens was in our squad for a short while

Edit 2: lol how did I not write Ordoñez

The final is tomorrow, and I saw the stadium isn't too far from where I am in brussels. I don't have a ticket, nor do I feel like it is worth it to pay for one as most tickets are 100+€. But, are there any activities outside the stadium or anything that happens before/after the game?
