Thanks, was planning to use hunter on him to get the speed to decent level, seems an absolute beast though! Think Casemiro is a better shout then, thanks!
Gaming FIFA 17
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
I think I will go for Casemiro, he fits my team better. I dont necessarily need that aerial presence, have Kante/Matuidi as a lone CVM usually but I want one La Liga team and one French/PL team so I just need a strong La liga cdm, have to calculate one for the best chemistry.
My team at the moment:
Mandanda
Valencia
Kompany
Koscielny
Azpiliqueta
Matic
Silva
Cazorla
Pedro
Kane
Mahrez
Have another 11 which is pretty much as good as that one with players like Otamendi, Fabregas, Gundogan etc. but that one is probably my favourite 11. Definitely not a great one, I plan on getting Coutinho for the LW position, Ozil for the CAM instead of Cazorla and after that I'm not too sure really! Eventually I want the likes of Pogba, Zlatan, Sanchez etc.
The midfield is dodgy, Matic is the only one offering any physical presence and it's really noticeable but Silva is fantastic. I only just got him two games ago and I drew one 3-3 and win the other 5-2 with him scoring two screamers, makes for good games!
Mandanda is so excellent, makes so many great saves in every game. Don't even think I want to go and buy Cech.

Doubting, to sell my second XI and strengthen the first one to the max and then use the teamstamina cards with a few good substitutes.

I've been debating this for weeks! I can't decide what route to go at all. Ended up hybriding them for the last few games of the WL and loved the way it felt. My team turned into
85 Alves
Juanfran 86Varane Ramos Moreno
88 Isco 88 Eriksen
88 Kane
Bale 86 Son Sanchez
Everyone was on full chemistry but I've got players like
Griezmann, SIF Carrasco, Modric, 86 Willian all just sat around so could sell all them and look at 84 Martial or an IF Hazard. The alternative would be to invest in legend full backs as they are really slacking compared to the rest of the team.
I need help knowing which route is best.
That weekend league was no fun whatsoever. I ended up 26 wins with 3 or 4 games remaining but i just couldnt be arsed to attempt the last few for elite.
Almost every game felt like a struggle. Amd with my team and how ive previously played it shouldnt be.

Decided Im going to sell them! And build something similar! How do you find SIF Carrasco? Im planning to buy him or birthday Nani, 200k is pricey though.
Yeah I find him mint. Can finish on either foot and his dribbling is immense.
Not as good a long shot taker as Bale or Sanchez though but his speed and dribbling are top.
Cheers! Hope I pack someone great to raise the money! Getting Aspas SIF too, seens lethal.
I've had him and only swapped him out when I eventually got Bale.
EDIT: Considering selling Bale though and getting Neymar to switch to IF Mane on the right.
I have played IF mane numerous times but dont find him that good, only one guy was a real threat with him, he isnt as fast as his 99 pace suggests and he isnt as strong which makes it just easy for defenders like Shaw to play against. I do think if you use him well he can be a serious weapon.
Must've chopped and changed my team like 3 times since decided to trade away my Serie A side and not liking any of them after a few games of each, so here's what I have now:
https://www.futbin.com/17/squad/3067594
Haven't used it yet but looking forward to it. Probably going to switch to a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) in game and then get Mbappe's new motm card that will probably come after today.

I sense a severe lack of pace in that midfield. Although carvalho has been key in a number of my midfields now.
I think im going to have to play on the counter. Lump in to abou and go from there. Although semedo is absolutely flying. Cant wait to try eto

I like the look of that side! I used to have Gattuso but didn't use him properly. He's immense at tackling and just moving the ball but I sort of expected more with him being a legend.
How's Eto'o? Keep being tempted to buy him as Aboubakar's highest IF looks good too.
@P-Nut0712 what are the best cards you have packed since getting elite multiple times? Im so praying that I get an IF of Balotelli or better.
I've only got Elite weekly twice. Once last week and now the rewards we will be getting today. I got Keita, Mustafa and some guy that sold for 10k. Keita sold for over 150k though so I was quite happy with that. Been informed that I got lucky as feck as one of the newbies regularly makes elite and hasn't ever gotten anyone as high.
I'm just hoping for any cards that sell for quite a bit as I don't think I'll use many of the ones that have made TOTW this week.
EDIT: Just actually checked the team and my God it's amazing! I would actually use 3 or 4 of them and the others are still unreal. I expect to get Hunt and Guardado though knowing me.

Cheers, I'd be happy with at least one 100k player. I almost wish I didnt get elite, the meltdown if I get Dost, Toornstra and Hunt will be immense. I'd love 11/18 players but will get 3 from the weakest other 7 I'm sure.
Yeah I'm expecting the same. Well I'm not but that's what I'm trying to tell myself to dampen expectation!
Same, I have had IF Hazard or If Dybala in my mind all day!
Monthlys should be out today, and theres a new tiered system for rewards, so for example gold 3 monthly gets 3 red IFs, but gold 1 gets 5. Elite 3 gets 10 i think, 2 gets 15, 1 gets 20 and then top 100 gets the usual 44
Fecking monthlies. Got elite and gold the two previous months and 15 shite cards. Not one usable.
Getting three today and I better get something decent.

I quite like the sound of that as you should get more rewards for finishing higher up each tier.
My first time ever doing that weekend league and I've noticed that I've not been given my rewards yet.
What is this outrage?

7pm now after the clocks went back.
Terrible rewards! Consigli, Hunt and some LM!
Got Balotelli!!!!, Toornstra en Hunt, will sell them when the prices go up.
Marquee Matchups gives a guaranteed TOTW player... out of something like 10 walkouts... i got Consigli

Ah didn't know that I'll probably do that then
Join me in the disappointment of a shit IF...
I've already had 3 so may aswell get me another.
Surprise, sur-fecking-prise.
Incompetent feckwits.
I got Immobile, Van Arnolt, Firmino, Casemiro, Vela, Rulli and Kolasinac from my monthly reward and 88 Son from the birthday SBC pack.
86 Piszczzczczczec for monthlies was my best, and Courtois from FUT birthday pack. Brilliant.....
Red IF's absolutely useless, did pack Villa but has no use in my team. Why cant you sell them..

Got feck all from the Birthday one and got Brooks from the MM.
I've had such bad luck this season with packs

Did you get ok monthly rewards? I got IF Van Aanholt who I use so managed to sell my old OTW for 85k at least. Other then that I got bunch of 82, 83 players I'll never use. Hoping to make Elite for this month. Started well this week. 6-0
