They should give the keys to EA for anyone that manages that.

Need one point from my last match to win promotion to 2nd division, can't bring myself to play it yet

Well done. I can't get past Division 4!
I have been yoyoing between 3rd and 5th for a good while before I finally got together a good run. You'll get there!
I was on a horrible run but have won my last 8 in a row now so its looking better.
Do you find it's the same pattern?
Promotion to 3rd, a comfortable season where you avoid relegation followed by a horrendous season where you get relegated quickly, followed by another terrible season where you get relegated again, followed by an easy promotion back to 4th where you stay for a few seasons before clawing your way up to 3rd and the cycle starts again...
Thats the ELO working. Similar to skill rating on WL you get matched against players with a similar rating as you. As you lose games your rating drops and you play weaker players, then as you win again it goes up to give you harder opponents. I find i'll win games by 3 or 4 goals, then drops to 1 or 2, then a few draws, then the slump happens. Theres really not much you can do about it other than 'git gud'. I got relegated from d1 then straight away dropped out of d2, then went on a 20 game unbeaten run (18-2-0) in d3-d2-d1. As soon as WL ends i know my seasons slump is coming again
On another topic altogether. Has anyone tried De Bruyne as CAM? I currently have IF Firmino there, but always liked KDB last year in the middle and wondered if he's as good this year
Did you end up getting him? Was like 300k yesterday, scored 2 today so he'll get one for sure. Probably going to be like double that

Yeah bought him for 295k yesterday
he's actually really good in game so I can't imagine what his inform will be like, I'm not near console now but I'll be surprised if he hasn't doubled in price at this point. Think I'm going to keep him though instead of cashing out I'm enjoying using him too much.
Just checked to see how much he's going for, first card went for 580k on bid.... So yeah, nice 300k profit for youYeah bought him for 295k yesterday

No idea if they go up in price once the actual in forms are announced or if the hype right now is what drives it more though

Nah it's usually a hype driven market when he gets his inform he will go back down in price but his OTW card will remain high though. I'm going to keep him as I say I enjoy using him too much.
Invested all my coins, so I thought I'd Bronze Pack a bit with the pittance I had left. Boom! Emre Mor in the first 400 coin pack.
That's my luck used up for the remainder of the year.

I've got KDB at RCM in 41212 and he's brilliant. Basically a goal every other game with his long shots.
Done with WL after 25 games and 18 wins. Played like shit yesterday and decided I would change the way I played. Now just drop off completely when my opponent gets 30 yards from goal and don't touch contain or teammate contain and I've conceded a lot less. I beat one of the guys with the legends and Ronaldo team who's got 36 wins quite comfortable too.
Looking forward to IF Parolo

Hopefully another Mertens to drop the price if that 87 card.
Another IF Mertens is going to be easily miles better than the base Ronaldo and Messi cards.
A miracle just happened. I scored a long shot with Manolas. I can't fecking believe it. Was laughing at myself when I hit B for the first time with him but it went straight in the top corner. I've seen a lot in fifa but this is by far the most insane thing I've ever seen. He has 14 in longshots ffs
No idea why I've had 3 disconnections this WL when I've not had any since FIFA 15. Has definitely cost me a rank and I'll have to qualify again midweek.
21-2 so far. Starting to worry that I won't have enough time to finish
23-2 now. fecking hell, I'm starting to believe in top 100. Would've been 23-1 if it wasn't for that bloody disconnect
feckING SHIT GAME feckING feck feck. Lost connection to the inbred EA servers again
Me too. 4th time this weekend and 2nd time in about an hour. It's only costing me gold 3 but that's an achievement for me, not as big as what it's costing you though.
This one cost me connection to FUT but was still connected to the EA Servers; piece of shit. Was about to take a penalty too to go up.
They need to sort out this shit. Shouldn't happen at all. Hasn't happened to me before this weekend so there's obviously something wrong with the servers.
I'll make top 100 if I win my remaining 13 games. Fingers crossed
fecked up my chances at gold 1 or even elite with the first 20 games of my weekend league before I started using the custom tactics... Think I had 9 wins in those opening 20 (a lot were fecked up games that I needlessly lost). Since I switched, I'm on 10 wins and 4 losses. Also scoring easily whereas before it was only like 1 or 2 goals.
Just lost and my chances of reaching top 100 are gone. This game is an absolute joke. I hope the guys in charge of the servers get burned alive
I just don't have the concentration levels to push on in the WL. Last week, I was 15-5 halfway through. Finished 21-19.
This week I was 14-6 at the halfway mark, currently 21-13. Basically, I get drained and bottle it.

No idea how but, despite 2 disconnections in my final 22 games, I managed to win 7 and lose only 2 meaning I hit gold 3 again Turning point was dropping (and selling) CAM Modric and sticking Isco back in. Griezmann got better as I played through the WL too.

hopefully I get something good from the packs because TOTW should be insane.Probably going to stay on 20 wins for this weekend. Have 4 games left but Im at a superbowl party so wont be able to play them out to get to Gold 2. Guess not a huge difference between gold 3 or 2. Oh well. Next week I'm aiming for gold 1 at least.
Edit: never mind, had time so played a game and got gold 2.

Finished on 24 wins. Missed out Gold 1 and 2 100k packs to a fecking penalty shootout.
In retrospect, I can put my shite performance down to my Crohn's flaring. In bits with my stomach this weekend, feeling completely run down. Was going to leave it at 18 wins but managed to finish with 25. Even with that, I felt like I forgot how to defend and cut the lanes. Suppose me concentration isn't the best with the lack of sleep.
22 wins this weekend. 4 penalty shootout losses over the course of the weekend which in hindsight is even more annoying
Decided not to qualify for WL last weekend and it was a glorious decision. Feel about 5 years younger this Monday.
I had a busy weekend and only got 6 games done, even those made me incandescent with rage so I do feel better.
Back on the wagon next weekend though, dem rewards are too good.
Pro FIFA players of RedCafe, I require your help!
I've built my usual 'United players only XI' on FUT but I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it. Team, tactics and instructions below!
(Start as 4-3-2-1 but switch to 4-1-2-1-2(2) for chemistry)
-----Griezmann------Martial--------
--------------IF Mkhi--------------
-----Herrera-----------Rooney
------------IF Fellaini
Shaw--Bailly------Smalling--IF Valencia
85, 65, Org.
70, 40, 70, FF.
25, 45, 50, Cover.
Both forwards to 'Get in behind' and 'press back line', CAM to 'stay forward, get into box, free form', CDM/LB/RB to stay back whilst attacking.
I have about 7K in coins + whatever I get for Gold 3 this weekend (only played 25 games!)

As for custom tactics, I think it depends on how you play and you should probably test a few different settings and see which one you like best.
Otherwise it looks very good. Only thing I'd change is the instructions for the sidebacks. I wouldn't tell them to stay back for several reasons. One is that it's hard to dominate a game without the sidebacks contributing in pressing higher up on the pitch. Also, Smalling and Bailly are so good that they don't really need extra support from the sidebacks. Shaw/IF Valencia are so good going forward that it'd be a bit of a waste to tell them to stay back. Also, your formation is so narrow that you'll benefit heavily from sidebacks higher up on the pitch that you can pass to when the other players are marked and unavailable for a pass.
Back to back relegations followed by back to back promotions. Horrible game for the nerves.
