Gaming FIFA 17

Momentum is on your side! Good luck.
Nah. Got hammered in the game after this post, accepted a loss after about 30 minutes (was only 1-0 but couldn't get close to him). Need 4 wins from 4 so it's not happening but Gold 2 is still fine.
 
Is this weekend league on ultimate team worth getting in to? Or is it more of an advanced squad game? As I'd be starting with a shit team haha

It's probably the best change they made to a game mode in years. Gives you a reason to keep going back and building on your ultimate team. It is tough though and gets frustrating as feck, so if you aren't very good then you'll struggle and it'll put you off it. You can make a very good premier league team that can be competitive in it for relatively cheap, but it still takes a while to build up and keep in mind a lot of people have pretty crazy teams by this point...

Anyway, you can kind of gauge how it'll go through the qualifying tournys. If you can't qualify or really struggle making it, then the league will normally be a struggle. If you do it no problem, then you'll do okay.
 
Planning my new team. Decided I'll keep my premier league/United one and just slowly upgrade that one since it's only around 200k, so I can make a 2nd team for around 500k. Thinking on who I should put next to Lewandowski in my front 3. It's a LaLiga/Bundesliga mix, but my front 3 is currently Reus/Lewa/Mov Bellarabi. Not sure how Reus or Bellarabi play so maybe it's better if I do Douglas Costa and IF Dembele on the wings? Always the toughest choice for me is who to pick for the wingers, as those 2 leagues don't really have any realistic stand out choices unlike the premier league.
 
I'm never going to get more then silver 2 or 3 for monthly I think. Only ever have time for like 2 weekend leagues at most. This month I did the very first weekend and then this one (and even then didn't play all the games). How people get the top ranks every month is crazy, just couldn't imagine playing 40 games every single weekend (plus whatever else they do during the week). Playing it once a month is frustrating as feck as it is!
Yeah same problem here. This system is catered towards the very young (school-college) and/or the jobless and/or the female companionless. 25 games should be more than enough.

Edit: maybe not the jobless, since it is in the weekend but I can't imagine many full time working people having enough time and energy for 40 try hard fifa games over the weekend.

Did you play DrJarba? Am watching his stream. Someone disconnected after he scored the 1-0 and paused the game to change formation. Was around the time of your post.

Nah, I didn't disconnect it I just basically half arsed played while paying attention to other shit. Rarely ever disconnect from games as I'd still rather take the 500 coins :lol:

I'm in uni but I still couldn't imagine playing 40 games every weekend. Takes up the entire weekend basically. Or at least 2 full days of the 3. PC I think has it at 25 games and they should have done the same on the consoles, would probably have more people to do it consistently. Just way too much of a drag to do it every time with 40 games.
 
Just finished the most stressful FIFA games of my life but I came through like a complete boss,

I was ready to call it quits and finish silver 1 monthly because I needed 4 wins from my last 4 games to finish gold 3 monthly. I brought Pogba in and god did he really turn it on for those games and I flew through them all with relative ease because of him

I just scraped into gold 3 monthly and I'm chuffed to bits with that because now I can get 3 of those cool red/gold inform cards. Taking a few days off FIFA though now.
 
Finished 38-2.

Really think that DC screwed me out of a repeat 40-0. Was on a roll, but that DC pissed me off. My play slipped after that.

Definitely pleased getting in the top 100 though. 37 wins minimum at the moment on PS4 needed.
 
38-2, feck that's impressive.

I was playing the weekend league lots at the beginning, but I used to always qualify last thing on a Friday when I finished work. Then they extended it to include Friday and I haven't played since.

What the feck. What's your best team?
 
He cost me a game. Made an unreal save on my Messi. Honestly thinking of getting him, because every Prem keeper I use is beyond shit.


Courtois is very good for me, he makes some amazing saves, the best keeper I've had and I've had them all.

Yeah Courtois is great for me too. I opted for him after reading up about goalkeepers and the article suggested that as they are the only total-AI controlled defensive player, the difference between them is actually very limited. The only obvious difference is the player height and having a tall goalkeeper is a huge advantage as they literally cover more of the goal and are vastly superior with crosses.
 
111/112. Missed out monthly elite rewards by 1 win because of the christmas weekend (would give me 11 red IFs instead of 3) :lol:


:mad:

Plus top rated GK's are great for counter attacking as they have the long throw out.
 
Can't say I've ever had any problems with Begovic, stops most things for 1.5k. 50k+ for a keeper makes no sense to me.

Can you hoard packs? Might just keep my WL rewards for the TOTY release.
 
Pretty much every keeper can do that now though with r1/rb and A/X

That's the low, driven throw out. I'm talking about launching it up to the half way line at full speed. Neither Butland or Begovic can do that for me yet when I come up against De Gea, Lloris, Neuer and Courtois, they can.

I've seen people talk about this on reddit. What and when is TOTY?
 
Anyone else tried 90 Pogba?

Absolutely killing it for me at CAM scored 13 in 12 and has 4 assists in Div 2/1.
 
I hate the penalties in this game, i thought the last set up was bad but this is brutal, i tap to aim fill the bar up adequately and the fecking thing just rolls along the ground, thats after i got fifad with one of those that you see in videos of, off the post, keeper saves, keeper saves, i think he saved again and wide.
 
Leaked TOTY is so disappointing :(

Also, tips for a good team for roughly 800k on xbox? I have no idea what team to build. I'm thinking 4-3-3(4)

Where do I start? Like, who do I build it around? Any of Pogba, Neymar, Bale? Haven't used them so I don't know how good they are

Edit: is 41212 really that op?

Tried the Daily Tournament for the first time ever despite only being in Div 3... :lol:

Edit: Some of the teams people have in that.. Proper world class

That's nearly all I play, I get to the final of it everytime but seen as though I'm already qualified I usually just let the other guy win in the final. You only get a measly 500 coins for winning it and a crappy gold pack.

Eh, division 3 is more then good enough. I'm only div 4 (though I would be higher if I played seasons more). Most of the people in the daily tournaments are pretty shit I find. Maybe I just get lucky draws, but if you get gold ranking on the weekend league you qualify for the next one automatically so those people usually don't do the dailys.

Is there any point of playing the Daily Tournament-stuff every day btw?
Once you qualify not really unless you think the rewards at the end are worth it! If it's a good pack and a few thousand coins then it's worth it probably.
 
So the team I want to buy is:
https://www.futbin.com/17/squad/968735
or
Reus - Lewandowski - MOV Bellarabi
Iniesta - IF Latza - Cazorla
Alba - Godin - IF Inigo Martinez - Bellerin
Oblak
Costs ~570k so a tiny bit out of my price range, will just get Gaya and Umtiti at left back and center back to start off once I get my WL rewards and I sell my team.

Edit: ended up selling dybala for 15k more then his going price so and got lewandowski for 10k less. Nice start :D
