Not sure if I should be happy or not. Got 4 ifs for gold 2, but got Modeste, perrin, dost and tadic. 2 86's, and 85 and 84 though 4 players I probably wont use. Meh.

Had a fair few games with them now. The formation doesnt suit me and probably not getting the beat out of then. However eto remains absolute class, there simply is no catching him and he uses his body well.
However, podolski (85) is the main man. He is on another level entirely for me. Cant wait to afford his 86 version.
Yeh cant disagree really. He doesnt make a massive impact what so ever. But I think he might be one of those players whose importance goes unnoticed.
He pops up with a few goals, which helps alot.
I don't see the point in playing limited midfielders in FUT, the best strategy for me is using box to box players with a lot of strength and dribbling ability. The likes of Nainggolan and Sanches are the best midfielders in the game and constantly contribute goals and assists while still being able to cover the defence.
The game has been playing SO BAD for me today. It's lagging like crazy and I'm getting zero luck, all my players feel completely amateur, so frustrating.
I assume it's because it a bank holiday and loads of people are online, anybody else felt the same?

Garbage Elite weekly and monthly rewards. Shocker.
Currently 12-1. Been going one nil down in almost all my games but some how come back to win. If I don't get Elite this week I'll just give this game up.
Played a few nothing worked. The final straw was playing City where I totally dominate hit the post and bar 4 times and ended the match 1-1 with 13 shots on goal and 23 total.. He had 1 on target and 1 total.. Lot of games with lag and I have 1000 Mb connection.. Really strange.
It's insane, I had the hump and decided to leave it. Came back on a bit later at night and it felt completely different, I went on a 6 game winning run! It just doesn't make sense how I can lose 6 on the spin and then win the same amount.
The IF and special Higuain's are so overpowered, absolutely hate that player. Dont know why he has to have speed as well, he is a good finisher, nothing more, nothing less. No reason to outpace and outmuscle my Bailly's, Smallings, Thiago Silva's..
Tried og again today worked fine.. Won 5 drew 1 but no idea what was going on yesterday..
I hardly played last month so got silver 1 I think. 1 gold IF and 2 silvers. No one that I'll actually use.
Played 5 games so far this weekend because I was out all day yesterday. Won 4 and lost 1 on penalties so not a bad start.
My team is at the point where I need over 300k to improve my team in 1 place
You got Elite twice in a row didn't you? You are still my inspiration. My team is quite similar to yours in the sense it's peaked and only expensive coins could improve it but probably not make much difference. I'm now on 16-3 so if I can avoid a complete melt down I'll be back amongst the Elite.
I've given up. Started 6-0 yesterday and the game was playing fine. Logged on today and getting nothing better than 1 bar latency pre match and lagging like shit during it. Lost 2 in a row, 1 of them a DC. No point playing if it doesn't play properly.
Yeah but it was my first times finally getting good there. There's no chance this week. Not going to have the time to play all 40 and the game is playing like crap. Constant lag and crap so I've turned it off for the day.
Yeah I feel you I've had exactly the same all day.
Totw could be interesting this week. Isco, Carrasco and Messi all with 2 goals.
I've already got IF versions of Isco and Carrasco so I wouldn't mind picking them up if they make it.

Yeah I do love my BBVA players. SIF Carrasco was a game changer for me a while back. I'm always baffled why Isco doesn't start more games for Real Madrid. He was class last night. Probably should have got a hat trick.
Fed up of this game now. I honestly dont know if im shit or just doing something wrong.
I have once again changed my team entirely because they just wern't performing. But the same problems exist.
Most annoyingly, my players make absolutely zero runs off the ball. If I play slow, they literally just stand there. And if I play a bit faster they don't move up the pitch at all and quickly lose possession.
Im finding my dribbling Compared to seeing other players online is shocking. I can use the face up dribbling alright but I am simply getting tackled before I can even do anything.
Alao, whenever I pass the ball to one of my front three, instantly they have 2/3 around them who will make a tackle straight away. But when the opponent plays the ball into my last third, my players just seem to move apart like the red sea, allowing nice and easy through balls.
I dont.know how many tactics ive altered and nothing seems to work. My coins are slowly depleting because im altering the team so much.

Does anybody know how people dribble the ball slowly backwards while still facing towards your goal?
People do it all the time and earn space to shoot or pass once you open a gap and press them. Seems to really help if you can master it

L2+R2. Go on youtube, BorasLegend does a turorial on it. Its a broken mechanic in the game, like the L1 sprint boost
L1 sprint boost?
Yeah that's exactly what I'm after thank you
IF Herrera, yes please.
Feck yes
Pretty much same in terms of weekend leagues since I did last month fully but if he gets it then I'll definitely have to get him.Just came in to say the same and I don't even play anymore
Yeah. When you are sprinting, if you change direction between 30 and 70 degrees of the way you are running, tap L1 just before the time of the direction change and your player gets a little speed boost. I use it mostly from coming inside with my wingers, when you are sprinting and the opponent tries to slide into your path, the L1 change direction sprint makes them look stupid af
Ah right I think I've been using L2/LT in much the same way and that seems to work aswell.
Jeez I wish I knew about that L2/R2 before! It's completely changed the game for me. People actually can turn with agility now and you can dribble passed defenders
I wondered what all the fuss was about with Gabriel jesus before but it's made him epic now

So my usual calapse to make Elite 3 happened again. But to make things worse EA gave me the good old disconnect in back to back games whilst I was winning.... It happened as soon as I scored both times. My controller is now broken. Finished on 28 wins.
Much more than me anyways. I'm finishing on 11 as I don't have the time to play at all. Probably means I won't make elite for the month.
The crab dribble.
The double tap shots.
The shielding in the corner.
The 5 million corners in a row.
All combined I think they've finally broken me. I'm done with this game for a while!
EDIT: Oh and that's not forgetting the days when it decides to play like a twat and everything you do feels like it's taking an age. Or the days when it decides every game needs that little bit of lag to give it just the right kick (in the teeth)
Yeah feck this game!

I read this thread every now and again.
Am I right or wrong in saying that EA has made this a variable game in terms of how good players are?
I don't play games anymore but playing Pro Evo between mates was a staple of my youth. I really don't think I could play a game that didn't have fixed point players.
There seems to be so much chat about building teams and experimenting with formation. Do folks enjoy that in the latest games?

Didnt have enough time this weekend, if I had time could maybe get elite 2 again in the form I had, but finished gold 1 at least in the morning. Have to say, Balotelli latest IF is a star! His finishing, shot, strength and pace when you have Hunter on him is immense. The opponents are poorer though on monday korning.
You nailed it in one bro.
You can still play seasons which is normal club football, but the majority of this thread is about the "ultimate team" add on which gives the game more flexibility. It's addicting but very up and down? Feels like there's lots of outside influence mainly from poor server connection. It's a fast paced game so a small amount of lag makes a huge difference.
Yeah lots, momentum is one. The matching ups is another one. When winning a few in a row, starting to face Ronaldo 99's, Neymars, Messi's is so annoying.
Since playing the weekend league I feel momentum is much less, but the connection does make a massive difference. I can tell straight away if the game is playing quickly or feeling poor but there's nothing you can do to make it get any better. It's impossible to defend sometimes when your players just don't turn when you tell them to. Still though when it plays properly it's great fun.
I can still feel it after I/the opponent score a goal, every ball seems to fall right. It changes per week tho.
I hate myself for coming back every week.
Am I the only one who has noticed that prices are going down in ridiculous fashion lately? Carrasco was 220k somewhere last week and now 168 k. Same goes for multiple players like IF Cavani's, Birthday Cards etc, will they go up again?
