I've been watching a lot of BorasLegend's tutorials this week, especially on defending. Also watching AA9Skillz, who has the the theory that if you are bad at defending then just buy OP defenders and then wait. So I spent 175k on Sergio Ramos, 4k on Carvajal for the chemistry, and havent lost since. That was all divisions though, i'm about to see how I fare in WL...
Gaming FIFA 17
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
So this will be my first weekend league, what can I expect? Any difference from normal seasons apart from crazy teams all the time?
Its the worst of the worst. No one plays WL for fun, its about winning pure and simple. Imagine Barca vs Inter when Mourinho was in charge, but both teams are Inter
If you don't have a spare controller, get one.
Feels bad man
14-6 at the half way stage. Comfortably my best start to a WL. Should be able to get gold 1 for the first time this weekend.... inb4 I choke and lose 14 games to leave me at the standard gold 3/2 I always get
Hope not so mate, Im horrified. Have won like 35/35 of my last FUT Matches overall but have exams next week so cant play, legit think I could end elite somewhere this week. It's a shame.
No idea what the feck is going on with me today, lost my first 3 games despite being wayyyyyy better then the people I played, and in the 4th game I blew a 3-0 lead but ended up winning in extra time. The first 3 games I blew a 2-0 lead once and then 1-0 and 2-1 leads. I think I just have no motivation to play the game properly so I'm forcing everything and not bothering to focus defensively, but I've also been conceding just stupid goals and my finishings been awful. Probably should leave it for today as I'm just not feeling Fifa right now. All I need is 20 wins so I can get my gold monthly for this month and not bother next week, so easy enough, but I just don't know if I have the motivation for it.
How to tell if momentum is with you:
Press pause when the opponent has the ball. If:
A. Momentum is with you, quick message that lasts 3 seconds saying not your turn to pause.
B. Momentum is against you, 14 minute banner in the middle of the screen telling you it's not your turn to pause.

One of the most annoying things about the game that fecking banner. Just a small message top right would do!
I had a similar start, it started to get comical the chances I was missing and then the opponent will be super clinical and bang in the few chances they create. Got a message from some basement dweller along the lines of "hahaha you're shit, I beat your superstars with my 20k team". Dickhead had Musa up front of course, I didn't bother replying as I didn't want to fecker to know he got under my skin.
On a sidenote, how annoying is this ref? Such a punchable face.
Expect to come up against 4321 or 41212 (2) in every game with your opponent playing ultra defensive and then counter attacking with the 3 attackers up top.
So far so good, played 3, won 2 lost 1.
This guy I lost to was playing 321 Reus/Aubameyang/TOTW Dembele. Their pace upfront is frightening, but worst of all had TOTW Socratis! man he is a horrible defender in this game.
Definitely seems like that's the favoured formation though. I like using 442 or 433/4 but for some reason the 4321 seems pretty potent.
It's because it's really good for counter attacking as you always have 3 players up front, very close together. If you can find some way to stop them doing that then you're on your way to winning.
Had my worst ever finish gold 3 with 20 wins. Some how I'm doing worse with Ronaldo in my team. May just sell him off and go back to Kante, Pogba and Smalling. Anyone else struggling this week? Seems everyone I've played has been at another level.
Ended up winning my next 4 after a little break, I think I was just thinking about other things and couldnt focus on fifa which led to me throwing shit away.I had a similar start, it started to get comical the chances I was missing and then the opponent will be super clinical and bang in the few chances they create.

Also one of my favourite messages was a guy telling me to feck off cause I "handed off my controller" just cause I made a comeback. Like its impossible to come back from being down 2-0 apparently
Should've just told him you took it off your four year old little brother who he could only score two against.Ended up winning my next 4 after a little break, I think I was just thinking about other things and couldnt focus on fifa which led to me throwing shit away.

This game really brings out the worst in people.
5 games in and I have a DC when I was winning 2 0. I have lost my motivation to play now.
Probably had my least stressful first 10 games ever. Almost all the teams I played were shite, and the users were pretty shite. Lost my first 3 games even though I was much better then them but it was because I couldn't be bothered to defend properly, and then won my next 7 after taking a little break and they've all been against shit teams. Should throw away my first 3 games more often so I don't have to grind through every single game more often
My 2 teams for this weekend:
Got rid of mertens to make these 2 teams, had no problems with him its just I felt like I always gave him the ball instead of playing normally. SIF Perisic is a tank anyway and 350k cheaper then Mertens so I dont mind. Plus really like brozovic in mid.
Had Ibra in the prem team but wasnt a fan so got rid to get Son, and got Motm Koulibaly to replace the normal one. Plus its more fun having fancy cards soooo yeah. Wasnt sure about valencia at first but hes actually really good to use, especially on hunter. Barely notice the 1 star weak foot.
Sif Perisic - Tif Icardi
Dybala
Sif Brozovic - Naingollan
Medel
Sandro - Motm Koulibaly - Manolas - Florenzi
Handanovic
Martial - Motm Son - If Valencia
Otw pogba - Potm Alli
Kante
Shaw - bailly - smalling - walker
Lloris

25-6 atm. Will probably still find a way to bottle getting Elite.
Had a shocker today, gone 4-7, puts me at 19-13 with 9 games left. Thrown away so many leads too, and lost 2 on penalties. I'm going to bottle the gold 1 for sure just because i keep trying to play out of a slump instead of walking away
I believe in you!
Im 2-0, plus hungover! Might just get 10 wins for this week so i only need 20 wins next for elite monthly.
Won another to go 26-5 then just faced a guy called florisacm who's a top 100 player, got a YT channel, Twitch etc. Bastard. Only beat me 1-0 but couldn't get through the guy. I always notice that the top players are very good at intercepting play, can never put many passes together against them but I usually find them quite predictable going forward... same moves every time
I never get disconnects but ever since the patch i have been disconnecting, although only boots me out of UT and not the servers. Got few losses because of that, bloody annoying to have it happen on WL. 
Ball roll, speed boost, body feint ad infintium.
Pretty much. It's quite tricky to defend against at times but if you get men behind the ball they'll struggle to get past
So fecking stupid that a mechanic like speed boost actually works in this shit.
Its so good to use though. Just right stick ball roll, l1/lb + sprint and youre away.
Although i agree, it shouldve been patched out ages ago.
Temporarily top 100 so first time I can see my skill points. 2070, no idea if that's good or not.
Currently 8-4 but I'm done playing for this week. Every single game I've played has had lag and input delay, even though at the badge screen it's 4 or 5 bars. I was 8-1 but the 3 last 3 games were awful.
Lol funny seeing the comments here. We all put ourselves through hell every weekend.
Sold Ronaldo and brought back Nedved and Pogba. I just had a quick go on Online Seasons to bed them in and won the Div 1 title. Nedved scoring 12 in 9 games. Ronaldo can piss right off. It's all about this blonde dream! #nedved #pogback

Noice!
I'm skeptical on the lag sometimes. Played a game yesterday where it was perfect until I took the lead in the 85th minute, the guy pauses the game and when he started playing again, I basically couldnt control anything and it was unplayabale. Of course, he scores and it went to extra time but I ended up scoring in the last minute of that to win it somehow. Like is there a way to force lag for the other persons screen? Because it definitely felt like it.
9-4 I think from the last 2 days. Cant be stated enough that they should either reduce it to 30 games or have another day to play it. 10 games a day would be more fair. 40 over a weekend is fecked if you have a social life
I've always thought that if someone started downloading a big file over the same internet as the console then that will obviously slow down the Fifa connection. I guess that there are sad cases which would do that.
Is there some sort of cheat where the goalie is unbeatable? Never had something like what just happened, did normal composed finishes, rebounds, cut backs, everything and nothing would go in. Someone woulf always either block it on tge line or the keeper would make save after save. Was ridiculous. And if he didnt, it would hit the post. Swear i hit the post a good 4 times from normal finishes that always go in. Like I'm not even that pissed off or frustrated because I feel like theres no way a normal keeper would save half of what didnt go in so it had to be some form of the guy cheating.
Of course the guy had a super cheap prem team with musa and butland and all that. And after having a good record til now and a very good run, feela impossible i wouldve matched with him if he wasnt cheating as he was a bit shit

I'm not usually one for it but I couldn't believe the shit that wasn't going in. Even the classic rebound shots would somehow be saved or hit the post or blocked on the line.
