Gaming FIFA 17

So whats the best way to make money on this game? I've got about 70k saved up but it can hardly buy me anything better than I already have.

Need to start trying the weekend league I guess.
Easy and guaranteed money is buying tons of 400 coin bronze packs and listing every player, manager, fitness card, healing card. For players and managers, make them mostly 150 start and 200 buy now, though some players randomly go for 1k or more so do a quick search on futbin to see their price and then list them at that. Basically fill up your transfer list with them, and then keep relisting everyone after the hour expires. Eventually, the vast majority should sell. You tend to at least double what you put in I've found, its just a slow process though if you stay on top of things and keep relisting, you should sell everyone within a week.

There are better ways, like investing in OTW players who will get in forms, or actually playing seasons and the WL, but for easy and no risk money, definitely that. Or the random super easy SBC's that are cheap and give you basically guaranteed profit (theres lists of them on the fifa subreddit). I just find those tedious usually.

Thanks for that. Yeah I've been playing seasons recently but the top players are so expensive it would take thousands of games to reach that :lol:

What's the chance of packing a decent OTW player? I know I am pretty much guaranteed that If i spend 70k on packs I won't get anything :lol:

Don't think you can pack OTW players anymore. They're only there for two windows Summer/Winter.

Buying packs with all your coins is a pretty sure fire way to lose them all :lol: Easiest way to make a good amount of coins is the weekend league. If you can get 21 wins out of 40 games, that gives you around 25k coins just from the 40 games (plus if you have the coin boosts still, then you can use those and basically double that for the games), then 45k coins, 1 rare gold pack (25k normally) and 2 rare mega packs (55k each normally). Those 3 packs usually get you back like another 30k at least even if you get feck all, if you list everything. So that's 100k pretty much from the weekend league even with no pack luck, if you can get a 50% win rate. It's just super annoying playing it every weekend.

Ah really? what about in form cards?

On seasons I am hovering between div 2-3 but I have pretty much a 50% win record. I guess the weekend league is where it's at! is it too late to qualify for this weekend?

Yeah I hover around 2-3 so you'd probably do like I do. Usually get gold 2, sometimes gold 3, though I only do it once a month. And nope, you can still do the daily knockout tournament today, there's 14 hours left and no requirements!
 
Monthlies are out and I am done with this game. I have a Seria A team and a PL team. 12 in-forms and not fecking one I can use in my teams. Carrasco and Leno top rated shite I got.

Drown in piss, EA.
 
Got feck all from my weekly rewards, basically the bare minimum you'd expect coin wise from the packs. Guess I can't complain about pack luck after getting otw pogba that one time, though it was untradeable. And it does force me to use a part premier league team. Meh.

Edit: Basically like 40k back from 2 mega packs and 1 rare players pack since I only got gold 3 last time. Plus the 30k from rewards. Difference between gold 2 and gold 3 seems to be basically just the 30k-45k coin reward, pack results on average are basically the same I think.

That IF Carrasco makes La Liga teams useable as the LW options are shocking and Carrasco is a beast!
 
Not making every WL in a month makes monthly rewards so shit.

Best I got in the weeklys was Iniesta.

Not very happy :mad:

Use the Carrasco towards the Suarez SBC and get him if you don't want Carrasco! Saves like 100k or whatever on it.
Edit: Unless its goalkeeper carrasco. Then it's shite.

I have no other La Liga players and rage-spent my last 250k on packs and got Mertesacker for my troubles. So he'll have to make do with being stuck in my club forever.

I can't even make a shitty hybrid with the rewards I got.

Edit: Thought I wouldn't see a worse pack than mine but @Baxter beats it. Actually I'd kill for that Parolo.

Bang him on your bench as an impact sub. I've still got Bernado Silva on my bench from the last months rewards. He kills teams when he comes on
 
I got Hamsik, Dante and Jovetic so was lucky I think. I'm trying to change my team up so Hamsik can fit in.

It was this level of rewards last week that made me not really care what I did the weekend just gone. Its a grind, and when so many people pack decent stuff and you get shit its just demoralising.

I havent been home to open my silver 1 rewards (lol) or my gold monthly's (lol) but I am sure when I do it will have all been worth it......
 
Got Alexis Sanchez in one of my weekly reward packs :lol:

250k coins into the bank for finishing a measly Gold 3. Delighted with that! Inspired me to go through the hell that is Weekend League again, even if that was a one in a thousand type pack pull.
 
100k pack = SHITE! TOTW Pack = SHITE! (Arnautovic, Thauvin and Tadic, will probably get 150k for all three if lucky) Monthly Reward = SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTEEEEEEEE!!! Best player was Alejandro Gomez, highest rated player was fecking Jonas.
 
What's the rewards usually like in draft? I just won four in a row and got three shite packs and no coins. :lol:
 
Dropped Dybala from my Serie A team as he wasn't cutting the mustard and bought the new Perisic card in preparation for the weekend. That dude is a friggin' beast. Pretty much the perfect attacker, and the best passer I've used yet. His through balls are orgasmic.

Current team

The attacking trio has to be one of the best I've used in any FIFA. So smooth with the ball and their finishing feels like cheating at times. I just wish Icardi could do a few skills. I haven't seen him play much, but 2* seems pretty harsh for a forward of his calibre. Even shithouses like Deeney and Walters have 3* skills.

How is Gomez? I've just swapped out my 85 Dybala for him.

I'll be using:

Butland
Peres Smalling Bailly(OTW) Shaw
Kante
Pogba Naingollan
Hazard
86 Gomez 86 Salah

Building something very similar to go alongside my prem team.

Was going to go for Dybala CAM, have Gomez and was then wondering and the second forward, i really like dribblers and find Icardi a bit slow and heavy footed...

I rate IF Joao Mario in CM too, absolute beast and lovely passing.

I absolutely love Gomez. Used him at CAM before I dropped Dybala and he was the star of the team there, with something like 30 goals and 30 assists in 40 games. Hasn't disappointed up front so far either, and is regularly getting on the end of Perisic's passes to score easy one-on-ones. His lack of strength is the only problem I have with him. As soon as a defender gets within touching distance of him he just ragdolls and loses the ball, but that can be avoided by using his dribbling and pace to twist away from oppontents. The choice between keeping Dybala or Gomez was extremely easy, to put it that way.

Have you tried an Engine chemistry style on Icardi? The boost in speed, balance and agility it gives makes a world of difference. His shooting is amazing already, so using chemistry styles to boost it is pretty much pointless. He's definitely not as nimble as Gomez or Dybala, but his strength helps a lot, and he can easily beat a man with a few quick direction changes using the L2+R2 dribbling. As a bonus he also scores more goals than both of them and pops up with a fair few assists too.

I might try Joao Mario instead of Brozovic. I had high expectations for Brozovic considering his mental card stats and he hasn't lived up to them, but Joao Mario doesn't look like he offers anything different. Not that Brozovic is bad in any way. It's just that he pales in comparison to Nainggolan, who throws himself about the pitch like a rabid dog and gets noticed far more easily. He basically has Renato Sanches Syndrome - High/High work rates, an instantly recognizable hair style and a cubic assload of pace, stamina and aggression.

Throw Allan in CDM for Medel. He's essentially the Serie A Kante.

I haven't even considered getting rid of Medel. He's pretty much the perfect CDM. I'd say he's even a better pure CDM than Kanté because he actually stays back pretty much all the time. Kanté does a lot of other crazy stuff that makes him a better player overall and one of the most ridiculous players in the game, but he has a tendency to leave more open space behind him than I like.

Medel has all the pace, defending, strength and stamina I want in a CDM and amazing work rates on top of that. I'd much rather have a pure defensive midfielder covering the defence than a more rounded player like Allan. I try to avoid using them in attack anyway, so better shooting, dribbling and passing doesn't really matter much.

Yeah I use De Rossi in my current side but Medel was so much better when I had him. Aggressive as hell and had great stamina. Just doesn't fit chemistry wise with my center backs as one of them will be on 7 chem instead of 10 unless I replace Koulibaly with Miranda from Inter.
 
Might be on my best run on this fifa yet. First full seasons using the 2 teams I made half way through the last weekend league. Won division 2 with 7 wins and 1 loss (was a tight game too the one loss), but that's happened before. The difference is now, 5 games into division 2 and I have 4 wins and 1 loss, and the 1 "loss" was a disconnect because my game was at the loading screen for ages and never went in game so I had to shut it off and it gave me a loss. Usually I just get smacked in division 2. Gives me hope that I might be able to get better then my usual gold 2 this weekend!

Also I decided to get Naingollan in on my mostly serie a side. Had bonaventura and want to save for TOTGS Mertens to replace his 85 card, but figured I need Naingollan in there. Also really like the look of that MOTM Thiago card, but can't think of a way to put it in either of my teams considering Messi is the right winger on both, while one is mostly serie A and the other is half premier league and half la liga to give messi full chem.
 
Now won division 2 with 7 wins and the 1 loss (which was the game freezing and forcing me to quit...). Not sure if I got better or played against shite. We'll see this weekend!

:lol: All makes a lot of sense to me.

I've this so far;





Buffon
Florenzi,manolas,chielini,Barz,Sandro
Nainggolan, IF Joao mario
CAM
IF Gomez, ST


Was thinking Dybala CAM and I might try the new Belotti IF given how cheap it is before going for someone more expensive, looks pretty decent.
 
Bummed, lost in the semi last night in extra time. Got caught on the counter from my own corner late on, lesson learnt always play it short when it's late in the game!
 
Just checked the companion app. Sold Thauvin, Arnautovic and Tadic for a combined 160k. Now have 571k in the bank. Not sure how I can improve my teams without buying/saving more, for inform versions of players I have. :/
 
Started 4-2 this morning. One loss on penalties after being all over the other team and just not finishing chances (post with Kante and Sanchez, and the bar with Martial ffs)

The other loss i get matched up against this guy who just dominated me. I couldnt get out of my half, and when i did he literally covered every passing option I had. He won 5-0 in the end, and i messaged him asking what rank he is... obviously elite 1 and finished top 100 a few times, hsvjungs. Meanwhile heres me most weeks getting gold 3 or 2 :lol:
 
Got Ousmane Dembele and Eriksen, will play weekend league with Lloris, Clichy (with the extra boost), Varane, Bailly/Zouma, Aurier, Kante, Ben Arfa (catalyst), Matuidi, Martial, Cavani (Hunter), Lucas and plenty options on the bench. I hope a better weekend this time and will complete the matches hopefully, played only 18 last time. Have statistics now though..
 
Started well 9-1 and the loss came in penalities. Something feels different this weekend. The servers seem smoother and my players aren't playing like they are stuck in the mud. How's everyone else getting on?
 
I would smash my TV & controller getting that.

:lol: First time I've played every weekend, so the first time I've got past silver monthly. Just puts me off playing. I've got Parolo on the bench and everyone else is useless.
 
Just got Iborra's second in form before I start this weekend league to replace N'Zonzi. He'll be on 8 chem after manager and loyalty but his stats seem much better then N'Zonzi's second in form (and is a bit cheaper). Seems like the perfect CDM plus he is like 6'5" so will just be a wall back there.
