Gaming FIFA 17

Do we reckon the TOTT knockout is worth it? Or save coins for TOTS? anyone got anything decent?

Got Buffon from the SBC and bought Chiellini with the last of my coins. My Serie A team is finished, don't see how I can make it better without having millions of coins...

Better players could probably go 40-0 with that team but I'm happy with Gold 1.
 
Ronaldo dropped to 900k on Xbox. Picked him up and stick him on 7 chemistry as striker. He's scored 40 goals in 30 games. Absolute tank.
 
Martial ST in this TOTW. My body is ready. My coin balance probably isn't.
 
Got 2 totw in one of my rewards today, typically though it was kruse and giminez.

Why couldn't it be messi or Martial :(
 
Had to start all over again with a new acc, now got a serie a team and one bpl team, quite good teams, have won every match so far easily.

For every player who has a 5 star skiller, try to learn the Bolasie flick, and make it effective. It has about the same effect as the berba-spin, but its far less predictable. The opponent can never know where the ball is heading, let alone defend it. Use it while running to create space.
 
So Pogba scored an OG for me and the commentator goes on saying "It's an important part of Pogba's game to add goals from Midfield and he's done the trick here":lol::lol::lol:
 
So yeah. It seems im finally done with the weekend league. I cant find the enthusiam to play it anymore, could only manage 2 games before calling it quits.


...... Im free?

Not gonna be here most of the summer so I'm tempted to sell my entire team and spunk the money on packs when team of the season comes out. Will get feck all but at least it'll be fun

Its ridic how the market has crashed. I bought 88 Dybala for like 800k a couple months ago. His 90 rated card is going for like 500-600k last i checked.
 
Managed to finish Elite for the month so was mega happy with that. Giving next month a cool off with my wedding and house move coming up. I don't need the stress haha.
 
Finally got a 40-0 again.

Was bottling it like United last 2 times I got close.

Insane. Do you never find that your gameplay becomes repetitive and then you start second guessing yourself? I'm only on course for gold 1, but earlier today I won a game 5-0, got then lost on pens the next game and got hammered 4-1 the game after by trying new things, before I just went back to my basics of defending the centre of the pitch and cutting off any passes, which led to me winning again 5-0

Yeah it happens. Sometimes I feel I forget how to play FIFA :lol:

Happens to everyone imo.

If it's working, don't fix it though :D

Is that on Xbox?

What's your gamer tag mate? If you are getting 40-0 most weeks surely you can play pro and compete for the big bucks?
Adam Sandler just popped in my head as I wrote that haha.

He's on ps4, lilsoccerlegend, already a pro, streamer and a youtuber. Search hektic jukes
 
Got gold 1 for the first time this weekend, really pleased with that. 2/3 narrow losses that I can improve on next time, I'm just not sure I can improve any further to get elite. I guess the better players can make a difference, but the lack of skill usage is what separates me from being in the top bracket.

Try to master Berba-spin and L2 + fake shot in forward direction, it's really effective to create space.

The Berba spin isn't so effective I feel. The better players will give a few yards and jockey when they do that move. For me the better players are the ones that cut all the passing lanes and press you into making mistakes.

I played Hashtag Hass who is a Fifa pro player and won some tournament. The guy was just unplayable and I couldn't get out of my half.

Yeah but you can get elite using that, you dont usually play 40 of them in a WL. However sometimes the berba-spin is just inevitable, just destined to get past you even though you can see it from miles coming.

Cutting passing lanes is key indeed, that combined with high pressure is the key for me.
 
Late to weekend league stuff, I've never had a team worth more than say 20-30k and always found it's dominated by people spending money to buy packs or cheat sites.
Got to a few finals with my Columbian team then decided to build a cheap Brazil side. What a decision, first time out played two teams full of totws and won 1-0 then 3-2 coming from behind twice.

Hoping to get into the weekend league with this team although it's a team rating of 80.
I keep it solid most the match then bring on Nem Danilo Bernard for the final 15 when my mid 3 get tired and watch nem and Bernard skip through the opposition

Are there any stars you have used that I could unearth? Under 5-6k pref

I'm with you, I rarely use skill unless I have a dominant league as I don't always know where the ball will end up.
I find it more annoying than anything else, much prefer being a step ahead tactics wise.
I find if I make straight slow dribbles near the box my opponent often moves his defenders out the way anticipating a turn that never arrives as I jog through on goal
 
Started the weekend with 20k and ended it with 78k from doing SBC, thanks to packing an IF Japanese ST from Salzburg who wasn't even selling on the market but quick sold for 14.25k, he's the most valuable player I've packed. Had other great pack luck with Barzagli, Veratti, Icardi who went into my Calcio A team/ squad. So with the 78k bought Nainngolan and Cuardrado who have improved my team massively.

Taison and Bernard, both CAMs and both sweaty af, and both combined will only cost you about 3k, plus they play in the same team so you get that sweet hyperlink

Do "hyperlinks" actually make a difference, or just look pretty? Once you're on 10 chemistry surely there's no advantage.

Hyperlinks are beneficial for hybrids mostly. You can have more red links into a player if he has a hyperlink, so with Taison and Bernard they'd cover 3 links that each player would need to get 10 chem, which allows slightly more freedom in the rest of the team. It wont make much difference if you are making a team from a single nation, but once you add in other leagues/nations they become essential for squad building.

Ah I see, so you can link 2 players together with a hyperlink instead of the usual 3?

Exactly. Every line into a player is worth 1 point. Every connection between players is worth 1 link (league, team and nation). So for example Sergio Ramos at cb in a 41212 has 4 lines going into him (gk, rb, cb, cdm) so need 4 links to get full chem. Carvajal at rb would cover 3 of them (league, team and nation) so then you only need 1 weak link (for example De Gea in goal gives one link for being spanish) to give full chem, which then allows you to play Ramos in a PL side

I see, thanks for that. All I need now is more coins :D

Yeah i guess it works against the lesser players but you can usually get a feel for your opponent after a few minutes of game play. If you do decide to use the Berba spin i wouldn't overuse it like some players. It becomes far too predictable to defend.

Build a second team for fitness using discard gold players, get the coins from games and from division rewards, and as soon as their contract expires just discard them so you get pretty much what you paid back, then buy them again at discard and keep doing that.

Thats what I always do at the start of fifa, getting from d10 to d1 gets you something like 100k in prizes, say it takes 50 games to get there at 450 coins per game, thats around 25k extra, which is enough to build a solid team for the first FUT champs.

Average gold 2 each week gets you 45k in coins plus whatever from the rewards, say an extra 25k, 600 coins per game is around another 25k. All these together will net you around 100k, so by the end of the first month you will have 400k plus a 125k team to build on or sell on for the money.

Fut champs has made it so easy now for the average player to make millions, and have super teams. Next year assuming its the same thing, everyone will be so much more aware of how to build their mega teams as early as possible

Interesting approach. I have a 2nd team that is pretty much as strong as my first, I usually just play 1 game and then use the other while they regain fitness.

Courtious

Shaw/Rose LB Walker/Bellerin RB Bailly Smalling IF Reid Koscielny CB 83 Kante, Dembele, IF Herrera, Henderson CM Coutinho, De Bruyne CAM

Martial/Memphis LW Mane IF Zaha RW and Sturridge IF Gabriel Jesus strikers. Also have a 86 Benteke and Erikson I use as a super sub late on.

Do you actually play the matches with the discard team? or just play / quit.

During divisions I use it. My second team is quite fun to use and can win the odd game or 2, but my main team pretty much wins every game i use it with in seasons. So i aim to hold d1 now a couple of times during the week, get the 7.5k for that each time plus match rewards then spend the 20k or so coins on fitness cards for WL so I can use my main team only. Both teams use 4231 narrow

Main team

Courtois
IF Montoya (red monthly) - Smalling - FB Ogbonna - OTW Van Aanholt
IF Herrera - OTW Kante
FB Kuba - Eriksen - 87 Carrasco (red monthly)
Sanchez

I sub in Kuba and Carrasco at the start

Second team

Handanovic
Florenzi - orange Koulibaly - Miranda - Sandro
Allan - 87 Casemiro
Blue Giuliano - blue Talisca - orange Taison
Gabriel Jesus

Someone better as the central CAM on the second team and it would play just as well as the main team, I'd like 86 Firmino in there but atm 180k is out of my price range.
 
Playing career mode. Tuesday I played in the checkatrade trophy, Wednesday I play Tottenham in the FA cup, literally no rest and most my team are knackered.
 
Monthly rewards are out a week early!! Good luck everyone, TOTS surely starts next week then? I only got silver 1 for the month on account of only playing 116 games, so have absolutely no chance of packing anyone decent

Got IF Shaqiri which is good as I was choosing between him and Zaha, opted for Zaha in the end. He seems decent though. Also got Promes and Guardado, the latter looks like he could be a great sub especially for extra time.

Promes is a good shout for super sub too. Doesnt he have like 94 pace?
