Gaming FIFA 17

How come? I like the rivalries it can bring when I come up against scousers.

Oh because we bottle it all the time with scoring, so bad luck and all that.

Was trying to be funny, but evidently I failed :lol:

That's my bad I assumed you had a theory on badges being a FIFA God :lol:
 
I did the untradable one and got Stones so I traded him in and got Pjanic Who I can sell. If I sold him now it will work out so I'm left pretty much even in coins from when I started.

Don't sell him now, prices will rise after the weekend.
 
I've sucked hard all year long at this game. But ever since I've switched to a narrow 41212 with both strikers set to get in behind and drift wide I've won 20 of my 21 games on seasons.

I went on a terrible run as I mentioned a couple of pages ago, ended up with B2B relegations and switched to @Eddy_JukeZ 4-1-2-1-2 tactic and it's changed my fortunes massively. B2B promotions today.

I can't remember if it was Eddy's idea or someone commenting on one of his Reddit posts but I'm playing two false 9's with Pogba and Ozil set to get in the box.
It draws the CBs out and leaves loads of room to exploit.


With the passing and movement in this formation I'm limiting my opponent to about 3-5 shots a game now.
 
Worst start to the WL since I used my Ireland squad. Was hoping to break into elite 2 this weekend but it'll be hard. 7-3 so far. Last week I had 16 wins with 3 losses. Guess it's switching between teams that's throwing me off.
 
I feel like they definitely changed something in the formations with the latest patch. Everyone is getting dramatic improvements switching to a 4-1-2-1-2 whoever used a 4-3-2-1 before.... Like I just went from either always holding division or barely getting out of division 3, but with it being a struggle every game (and then getting relegated right back down to div3 if I was div 2), to winning the title with 7 wins and 1 loss in division 3, walking most of the games. I did change my teams, but the formation is definitely making a difference. Maybe it just suits my playstyle, but I feel like it's the balancing of it that is working for me.
 
Playing my first game in the weekend league, what the feck is this lag? It's barely playable. Was somehow winning 2-1 and now I'm 4-2 down just because I can barely control my players and my passes are delayed by a few seconds

Oh you shouldn't play with two teams. I'd recommend spending your coins on one team and buying squad fitness cards
 
YESSS just got a OTW card from doing the marquee matchups sbc. Jovetic, but still. Beauty. First time I pulled something half decent in what feels like months. Now question is do I throw it in the other SBC's or just sell it...
 
MOTM Son was extinct then EA adjusted his price range and now there's 30 pages of him, with the cheapest one going for 10k more than his old max buy now :lol: Great for me though as he'll be perfect for my team once he drops a bit more!
 
Just beat a team with Lehman, IF Florenzi, IF Manolas, Desailly, Gaya, SIF Nainggolan, Petit, TOTY Modric, OTW Pogba, Pele and SIF Ronaldo. 4-1.

Up 7-1 now, - would've been 7-0 if it wasn't for the brilliant EA servers. I can still potentially make top 100 but that disconnect ruined my confidence
 
Clean up and repeat one more time. Then you can sell the card and spend the money on a fecking incredible team
It's untradable :( Here's hoping his OTW card is actually as tank as it looks. Replacing nif Kante in my team here so he has a lot to fill!
 
I just gambled and had another try, it was a gamble and a risk because I used my last coins to do it and I will be stuck with the player. I have Kante, Pogba and Bailly in my team so I wanted to get one of them and the gamble paid off because I got Kante.
 
Did 7 or 8 tradable summer otw challenges. Ended up with roughly the coins I had before I did them. Best I got was Dembele twice

Patricio
Terry Garay Martinez Howedes
Draxler W.Carvalho IF Reyes Gaitan
Kane OTW Milik

That's pretty much as cheap as it gets. ~100k
 
Feel like this is one of those first world problems (but in fifa) but one thing I always liked doing was having 2 relatively even teams in terms of price. Now I have one over 2 mil and the other like 500k and it'll make me want to keep upgrading the worse team despite it not being worse at all, just cheaper because of Pogba being on the other one.
 
I won the Fifa lotto. Got tradeable OTW Pogba in the SBC. Will wait until after the Leicester game to see if he does anything to get an IF.

If not, I'm cashing in and building some mental teams.
 
Im 3-3. First game I lost was due to some terrible lag which was there for the first 3 games and was annoying as feck. Second game was a tight game until the guy got thenwinner at the end. Last game was one I really shouldnt have lost, played much better then the guy but lost on pens. Even was about to win on pens but then my new pogba hit the post and then I missed again and I lost :(

That's unlucky. See if you can make some minor tweaks to make sure you win those tight games.

I was also at a stage where I would randomly lose a lot of tight games. Spent ages perfecting my team, tactic, playstyle etc and now I win pretty much every game. Small changes can make huge differences

Was mostly some sloppy or careless finishing to not finish them off earlier and then letting them in later. Pens for me I'm shite at taking them. Decent at saving them though.

I actually use a randomizer app on my phone when taking pens, 1-10 with each number representing different places to aim.

Holy shit that must be 2.5m at least?
 
Alright so I've started a prem team and this season is the first time I've done ultimate team, does anyone have any tips for players who are great to play with but reasonably affordable- maybe up to 15,000ish coins?

You want the whole team less then 15k or invidiual players?
Anyway, prem players that absolutely everyone uses, or just a relativsly cheap side is:

Martial Musa Shaqiri
Kante Dembele Herrera
Shaw Bailly Smalling Bellerin
Butland​

Mkhitaryan is the 2nd best right winger IMO, willian is by far the best but hes 60k. Walker is the best for right back but around 20k. For up top, it depends on what you like but the options arent really great.
