Guessing it'll be like those CS:GO tools in America where nothing will happen to them. A phony video about how sorry they are and that's it.

On the topic of Fifa and gambling, the game should have prominent gambling warnings in the Fifa points section. Gambling issues is an easy hole to fall into and allowing kids to pump money into Fifa points and let them pull the one-armed bandit of Fifa packs with no warnings in place is not right.

China have been the first to act on this and legislated that games with loot box systems reveal the odds of getting items to consumers. Something like needs to be in place over here.
 
Thoughts needed...

I've got this team currently:

(UT-IF Schmeichel)
(IF Milner) - Kompany - Koscielney - (IF Baines)
Toure
(TOTGS Gundogan) - Pogba
(UT-Ozil)
Lukaku - Vardy
​
I'm thinking about selling Gundogan and one of Lukaku or Vardy and getting the IF version.

Who's a good CM to replace Gundogan?

Or is there a better striker to get? I think I can get 340k for Gundogan and get 87 Lukaku for 260k. Could probably raise another 100-150k on top of the 80k change from Gundogan/Lukaku.

MOTM Son looks ridiculous for 250k. 90 pace, 89 shooting, 87 dribbling, 80 passing, 5 star weak foot so it never matters which side you shoot from. 3 star skills is the only let-down.

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.

Will give that a try, cheers. The custom tactics are just some that I took from a YT video a few months back and stuck with. I can change the way I play to match the gamestyle and have had to adjust a lot to the sweaty, driven pass style in this FIFA.

Rooney is a monster in the RCM position... or KDB. If you're on XB1 the record breaker Wazza is 350K or so.

As for striker, I'd wait until Wednesday for the next IF Lukaku. He'll be an absolute monster!

Good point about Lukaku, 88 should be a beast but he will be out of my price range I think. I expect 700k-1m. Maybe more.

They've got massive fines haven't they? 90k and 170k I believe. The syndicate CSGO case is still open, and I think they'll get fecked even more.
 
Has anyone tried out both Pastore and Ben Arfa?

I absolutely love Pastore in this game. He's one of my best players and is averaging an assist and half a goal every game, as well as being a surprisingly imposing presence when I have to defend with him, but I'm considering switching him out for Ben Arfa to have the links for Pogba (when I can afford him) in midfield.

Pastore with an Engine chem style has absolutely god-like passing which is seen in his mental assist haul, so I don't really want to give that up, but Ben Arfa with Artist has a better shot, far better dribbling and decent passing, as well as being stronger. I'd try Ben Arfa myself, but I've invested all my coins at the moment and can't afford him, so any input from my fellow FIFA-playing Caftards would be welcome.

My current team

With Pogba I get the option of switching Zouma for Bailly without losing chemistry on Kanté. Zouma and Matuidi are the weak links in this team, so with that change the team would hopefully be pretty much perfect. I'm also strongly considering Shaw for Clichy.
 
So sick of my team. Going to sell them all and spend my coins trying to catch Pogba in the otw sbc's
 
I GOT feckING POGBA FIRST TRY HOLY feckING feck feck feckF UCK OMG OMG OMG OMG HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL JDOJGJLSJLDJGLJSLDJGLJADC

Trying to build a 1.8m team. I haven't got the slightest idea on where to start. SBC Lacazette must be in there though. I can affort to partner him with Weah ffs but that'd be a waste spending it all on one player

I might try that as i fecking hate my team. Around how many coins does it take to do one challenge?

100k more or less. Don't expect to be as lucky as me though. Did like 10 otw sbc's a few days ago and just got crap.

That team is like a girl with an amazing body but a not so great face. Amazing frontline and midfield. Then from the CDM backwards, it gets a bit scuzzy-looking!

Meh, wouldn't swap Shaw, Smalling and Butland for pretty much anyone. Azpi isn't too great but the big weakness is Koke. I'd say the team is like Emilia Clarke without her right boob since Koke is a bit shit

Not criticising. I use Shaw and Smalling too. Smalling is pretty much essential in any Premier League team which is just absurd.
 
So thought I'd finished Gold 1 in the monthly rewards and checked to find I've so.ehow made elite. First ever time so if I get fecked with crap cards now I'll be fuming. Seeing all these Pogba and Kantes flying about from the OTW SBC has got me considering it but I've just bought Griezmann for my 2nd team so I'm strapped for cash until the rewards come in and then I think it will have expired!!!

Edit: Finished Gold 1 for this week aswell so hopefully pack something decent as my rewards so far in the weekend league have been shocking.

Edit 2: Anyone got a list of players available for the monthly rewards so I can get excited about players I'm not going to pack?

:lol: That's the spirit

Let me know when you're up for a few games
 
7 wins out of 7 in div 1 so far with my new team. I haven't conceded a single goal, what the hell is up with that.

Edit: nvm I've conceded one. I think Azpi is better than I realize. I mean, people don't cross at higher levels so his lack of height doesn't really affect me.

Yeah I'll be on through the day mostly over the next week so just drop me a message if your on. You know anywhere I can find that list of players?
 
Anybody bought coins online? I was looking into having done it one of the UTs years back but it I've just read on EAs site that it can result in a ban. Is that likely?

I was naughty and bought 200k coins yesterday so I could afford Pogba and today I got a warning from EA, but because it is my first offence they didn't ban me. They did wipe all my coins away though but luckily I already had bought Pogba ha. Annoyingly though I packed Lacazette before and listed him up so they took my Lacazette coins away. I can't risk even farting in EA's direction now because they will probably ban me.

Isn't it just 11 random gold totw players from the next totw?
Click to expand...

I thought it was 11 from the previous month but I can't figure out which ones will count for January.
 
@Eddy_JukeZ surely you will know where I can find a list of exactly who is available.
 
I'd give anything to pack Radja & Dybala. I managed to get SIF Mertens and TIF Icardi in my last monthly rewards so it's possible.
 
Only ones I dread getting are Peresic and Willian as I've already got the sbc Willian and the IF peresic both untradeable so would be a waste.
