*raises hand*

Currently 9th for the past week on the xbox one Americas leaderboard, 55th in top 100 general.

:snoop:
Holy mother of God.

I'm on PS4 but it's the first time I play the weekend league (I only started playing FUT about a week ago). I bet those packs you get are pretty sweet.

I'm mentally fucked right now. I'll lay it off for a while.

I'm so buying him, my pack lucks been horrible this year, started saving up instead. FUT champs and the rewards is good stuff from EA as I don't have time and don't bother trading anymore, although it's tough to play all 40games each week.

This week cashed in on my main go to team for TOTY coming out.

Nedved - IF Tevez - Dybala
Vidal - Marchisio - sbc Hamsik
Bernat - Boateng - Barzagli - Peres
record breaking Buffon

A.Sandro early sub, POTM Son and Cuadrado super subs.

I'm yet to finish elite tho :D you doing great with that ranking

Once you get past the early rounds it's where the fun begins and you get some good match ups. It's usually the first 10 games you come across cheese sweaty teams with rashfords and inaki Williams up top and they park the bus. (Imagine it is the same on PS4)
Hold on to possession, take your time pass it around agisnt those fckers.

I only managed to get 16 wins the past weekend :p and I was already mentally fucked. I'm confident I can do better tho. And thanks for the advice ;)

I realized that almost everyone in this FIFA just parks the buss and plays on the counter. It is indeed frustrating. I'll try to keep the ball.

I don't know how you guys have so many good players (unless you were trading and making good coin).

Good players on PS4 are stupidly expensive but I see IF cards more than ever. In FIFA 16 I never saw as many expensive squads as now. I have a feeling everyone just buys coins. It kinda ruins the game :(

I can't buy a Dybala!

I got the game since the release. Been playing it for months now. They were even more expensive at the start. Unlock the 1000 coin boosts from the catalogue and try to get as many games on weekend league as you can for the rewards you should be able to buy Dybala and put together a decent team pretty soon. With team of the year cards coming out next week normal cards will become even cheaper. I bought Pjanic for 40k for example now his market value is at around 16k

Also check squad building challenges every once a while. They release some special cards you can get on the cheap. Don't discard players by the way , you can use em in these sbcs

Yep, I'm using all my coin boosts and they've helped a great deal. I've got two 30k squads and about 80k saved. I haven't bought more players because I'm waiting for the market drop after the TOTS.

As for the SBCs, would you recommend doing the League ones? Ya know, the ones that require you to make 20 squads of a given league (I tried doing these but I realized some players were too fucking expensive due to price fixing by traders). I'll keep an eye on the SBCs you mentioned.

I just remembered I haven't opened my FUT Champions rewards :D

- - - Updated - - -

Oh, and Dybala costs like 180k on PS4 :(

I also got the game since release but I couldn't be arsed to play FUT.

Instead, I started playing online seasons for the first time in my life. It's a lot easier than FUT and the gameplay is also different, a lot different!

I haven't done any of those league SBC's. Personally don't think they're worth it. You end up spending around 250 to 300k for decent ones like Lacazette, unless you're extremely lucky to pull a decent card in one of the rewards you better off just buy the inform version. Usually player of the month or the ones that only require one squad to submit, keep an eye for those.

@B3N yeah rewards are awesome, I made 1.6m coins from rewards just this week alone. I already have a stacked team of 5m or so but had to sell ADP, will probably get him back in a week or two depending on how it goes for me. My aim for january is to qualify for the regionals, hopefully I can live up to it.

Yep fut champ prizes are great. I was actually hesitant in selling my Nedved, snapped him up about several weeks back, card was fresh out of pack, and played alota games with it, but you know the market during TOTY releases. Will buy him back when legend prices take a big hit.

Good luck with regionals dude, you're obviously good at FIFA and with a stacked team you can do it. Who's your focal point in attack?

This is my team right now



I start like that but make a formation change and sub at the start of the game so it ends up like this:



I only just got the 3 legends for this weekend so i'm excited to try them.

Makes sense for Ibras Chem. Van der sar got butter fingers, but you need him for the links. Carlos is unbelievable.

That's actually the biggest problem I have with this game. It's kind of realistic, but at the same time weaker teams are too much at an advantage. I don't play FIFA much at all these days, but I did attend a FIFA tournament one of my mates had organised. We played a full WC. I was unlucky and drew the Netherlands as my team. They are obviously a very poor side, so I had no option to defend and be very cautious not to give away too much possession when I did finally get the ball.

Now I don't think I was the best FIFA player there as others played it much more. I was still poor at PK's for example. But tactics like that are so important in this game that I reached the final quite comfortably only to eventually lose it on PK's (which I didn't really know how to take).

Some might say it's realistic, but I disagree. I beat Brazil, Spain and Belgium very comfortably and they were handled by much more experienced players. Brazil with a better player should beat the Netherlands 4-0 easily imo. But the game doesn't reward attacking football at all.

Passing in general is little off in this game, that's why some prefer to park the bus and hit on the counter. Majority of them are the typical run do some tricks and then take a shot FIFA players with little imagination in build up play.
It is realistic to have park the bus and should be an option but the main problem with it comes from overall team and players AI in FIFA, regardless of any player and their attributes they seem to position and Mark perfectly the whole match when you set the tactic on, with little need of users input in controlling the backline (just switch and contain) That's why it seems such an overpowered feature.

I Play this custom 433 false 9 at the moment.

Why is Pjanic so good ffs. My favorite player. He's unplayable at times :lol: Just scored a hattrick.

Might work for you too @Ocelot

$WP_20170424_22_41_15_Pro.jpg

If you can't tell the difference to the standard false 9:

LW & RW further up front & more narrow.

MS a little deeper.

LCM & RCM deeper & wider.

CDM deeper.

CB's deeper.

RB deeper and closer to the RCB

----------------------------------

Spieleranweisungen:

RB: Stay back.
CDM: Stay back.

--------------------------------
Juventus standard tactics
--------------------------------

Works fucking great for me so far.

Khedira instead of Asamoah, and put him as DM, his standing tackle and aggression is the best of all the midfielders in the team, also Alves > Licht
