Gaming FIFA 17

Anyone on XB1 play Pro Clubs? We've been Div 1 regulars since 2010 (or whenever it came out) but haven't played enough games to make it there yet!

There's a group on here that a few of us are in. It hasn't been too active lately though. @Damien can you add him in please
 
Cheers! Happy to give you guys a spanking :)

To be honest you'd be lucky to get a game out of us. I've not been on for a good few weeks cause I've been working nights
 
Random question - who is the guy on here that played / plays FIFA professionally?

A lad at work just mentioned he used to watch some guys videos and I'm sure it was the guys name on here, but can't seem to find the posts here to confirm.

His Twitch alias is HekTic_JukeZ if you're interested in watching him.
 
It's stupid how if you get a free-kick near the middle of the pitch or just in your own half, your whole team piles into the box regardless of how much time is gone or the score.

Defending a 1-0 lead in the 90th minute? "Everyone forward!"

Cost me a win in extra time today in the weekend league this.

Tried to play it short so that my players would come back. Lost the ball and conceded!

Need 15 wins from 19 to get elite 3. Don't think I'm going to make it this week
 
My target is Gold 2. Need 6 wins from 17 to get it.

I'm on a 4-5 match winning streak so a 6-7 game losing streak is coming soon.

I tend to just lump it out of play near their corner flag when that happens so as to avoid the counter.
 
Great discount on this on our PSN store today. 31% off. Tempted to get it. Does anyone else have both FIFA and PES or would it be a waste to have more than 1 footy game?
 
Met a dude on FUT today that seems to have spent some real coin to get himself the actual United line-up (no Pogba, though). Found myself 3-0 up in no time, with this being the pick of the litter:

I make United as one of my two teams every year, got everyone except for Pogba, Zlatan and De Gea (though I could afford one of them if I sell my 2nd team and just use fitness cards).
 
Having quite a bit of joy on seasons since switching to 4-2-2-2 with United.

De Gea
Valencia - Smalling - Bailly - Shaw
Herrera - Pogba
Mkhitaryan - - Martial
Rashford - Ibra
Had been using 4-3-3 before with a holding midfielder but find this leaves me more secure and you get some nice passing combos going with the front four.

I use a similar system while also setting the tactics to counter attack. Seems to work well. I was struggling to climb up from the bottom divisions until changing to this system lol.

What division are you in?
 
This game is cornergeddon at times.

Corner, cleared, another corner, cleared, another corner etc.

I always wonder if when something that was ok in a prior game changes, if its purposeful or collateral from some other change and they just couldn't figure out how to balance it back. Because corner clearances were fine last year, probably had too many going straight back to the taker, which isn't something you see that often in real life.

Eddy_JukeZ is Hektic?!?

My mind has been blown.

Was the case with me a month or so back. :lol:

I've tried it yesterday and it seems the best formation for me in FUT. It's really effective against people abusing pace as well even If my team is slow.

Schmeichel
Coleman - Baily - Williams - Azpilicueta

Blind -- Wanyama
Mata ---------------------------- Herrera

Slimani -- Rashford

Played a couple of games last night and had like 65% posession and about 10 shots on target in each game (usually it's the other way round).

I thought you had a mega cheap team with big Pete in net there for a second. Makes much more sense hat it's kasper

It's definitely Kasper. I got Williams, IF Coleman, Wanyama and Rashford in packs from sbc. The rest are not so expensive.
 
My team for this weeken league coming up.

Lloris
Bellerin Bailly Koscienly Shaw
Gundogen Rooney
Silva
Willian Sturridge Martial

Lloris
Walker Smalling Luiz More of
Ramsey Fellani
Mata
Sane Costa Sterling

Rashford and Reus used as subs for both teams.

What areas do people think I could change to improve on it?
 
Got really annoyed at everyone having more or less the same team on FUT so I sold everyone, got 270k from them, and made a full ex yugoslavian squad.
Mandzukic (85 IF)
Pjaca -----------Perisic
Pjanic Modric Rakitic
Lulic - Maksimovic - Savic - Vrsaljko
Oblak

Dzeko (83 IF)
Kostic ---------- Visca
Kampl Matic Kovacic
Kolasinac Nastasic Lovren Srna
Begovic
Really fun to use, especially that midfield 3 for my starters :drool: Only issue is the center backs are shite, so I might just save and get 2 guys there who give good chem and are beasts. Something like Manolas and Sokratis, could get both for around 8.5k combined probably.

I find most teams I play are actually quite different. Last year it was literally the same team over and over again. At least this year there is a little bit of variety.
 
I got Diego Costa in a pack a couple of days ago when I really needed a striker upgrade.

What a load of bollocks. He's rubbish. Sold him for 50k. Any suggestions?

Is there no restrictions this week? I thought I read somewhere there has to be a minimum 3 leagues/3 Nationalities?

Change Martial to a LF and put him up top. Best player I've used in Ultimate team for under 100k (think hes like 30 anyway).
Though right now in my Yugo team I'm using in form mandzukic and hes actually a bit of a beast.

Someone fast. Pace up front is really the be all and end all of FUT. Fecking Musa is one of the most overpowered players in the game because of this nonsense.

Vardy is pretty good.
 
Up to division 2 on seasons. It's taken me bloody long enough. Now to try and get to the top division.
 
Can you not have a tournament where 4 players can play as locked players? I know you can in career mode with 2 players...

Had the lads round last night for a FIFA night and the plan was we all lock to players and play on the same team, but the custom tournament didn't give us the option...
 
Finished Gold 2 on PC in the weekend league, one tier better than last week so i'm happy. Had a ridiculously bad start but after changing formation i managed to string a good set of results together. With this new team i'm aiming for that Elite 3 tier next week. Would be awesome to get a TOTW pack.
 
Played 26, won 16 so far in the WL. My target is 18 wins for this week and the two next weeks to get the get kit and monthly TOTW pack.

Picked up Vardy for £42k. Thanks for the tip, he's leathal. I'm still shit but having much more luck with him.

Think I've settled my team now, have no real motivation to improve it any further anyway.


Vardy
Boufal - Pereya - Henderson - Feghouli
Schneiderlin
Clichy - Mustafi - Terry - Valencia
Schmeichel
Howe as manager, 100 Team Chem, all 10 Chem.

I didn't realise how much of a difference chemistry makes. I had an injury that dropped it and the players felt completely different. Failed to make runs, caught out of positions, poor touches. Basically scripting.

With full Chem they seem to work as a unit and are quicker and more agile.

You'd be surprised how little chemistry matters sometimes. Played a team with chemistry in the 60's and he was passing rings around me while my 100 chemistry team were running in quicksand and turning like trucks.
 
Juventus' 3 at the back is the best formation this year. Works pretty well for United too
 
Anyone managed to work out how crossing works in this? Most of the time the cross either ends up directly in the keepers hands, or ends up miles away past the edge of their penalty box. So many goals missed out on with simple crosses failing to get anywhere near the target I want.
 
Talk about fecking bottling. 3 games left, only needed to win 1 to get Gold 1 (50k and two 100k packs).

Led in each game and lost every one.
 
Played 2 drafts, won 2 drafts

Packed a greizmann and a vardy from the rewards
