Gaming FIFA 17

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.
Yaya Toure
 
You're doing it wrong. Always hope for the players you don't really want because those are the ones you don't get.

Tbh i'm glad of anything. I always think the red in forms look a bit more intimidating for an opponent than the standard black ones do just because they are earned. Any edge i can gain over my opponents and all that
 
Only getting 3 gold and my guesses are Szczesny, Dost and Llorente.

Praying for Rooney or Nainggolan though.

Worst thing about the monthly rewards is you can't even use any trash-tier in-forms for SBCs. I've got half a dozen 81 rated centre-back in-forms that I'm doing nothing with.

You can't use them? I've a few shit ones alright I was hoping to use. :(
 
Has anyone used OTW or IF Mane? He's the first decent player I got after 13 OTW SBC's and I'm not sure if I should cycle him too.

Which OTW player were you trading in 13 times?
 
Got OTW Berahino in a pack. Might be handy for the POTM SBC if Dele Alli gets it. Even if he got an in-form, the card would be shit and I'd never use it.

Got a front three of Martial - MOTM Son - MOTM Walcott with Pogba as CAM behind. It's filthy to play with.

On a scale from Ole Martin Årst to Neymar, how good is that Walcott card?
 
Excellent. I think he's the only winger I've used who can actually out-run the homing missile that is Chris Smalling. I had Mkhitaryan there before who was decent but the difference is night and day with Walcott.

I think I'm going to replace Vardy with him and have him as a RF Striker.

Tempted to try out the same. Him and SBC Lacazette could be lethal with Pogba in behind them, but not sure if they'll be able to perform on the same level as Neymar, Bale and toty iniesta which I currently have. Would enable me to build a hell of a defense though but I feel like I benefit a lot more from spending my coins in attack so I probably won't do it

I just swapped out Ramos for Griezmann for that exact reason. Whilst Ramos was good at adding defensive stability (instead of Laporte) upgrading Benzema to Griezmann must surely be a bigger change?
 
I really want that SBC Suarez card but bloody heck that will cost some coins.

Who did the SBC for Lacazette? How many coins did that take? I'm guessing the Suarez one will be similar.

Is it full la Liga all teams type thing?

Think around 700k it'll take, which isn't that bad considering his normal is 520kish
 
Walcott is fecking annoying in this, played some guy with his IF card. Absolutely burnt everyone in my team, rapid wouldn't even describe his pace.

The only reason I'm gutted I spent loads to do the Willian sbc I'd love to bang Walcott on that wing.
 
Will wait for reviews of that Suarez card before I consider doing the SBC, and for the price to hopefully drop a little. If he's better than Kluivert then I'll consider it.
 
Made some changes to my team and now I have this. Holy shit it looks perfect

Surely you could be swapping Saul out for someone better there?
 
@Macern whilst you're about what do you think of Griezmann up top? Bought him but haven't used him yet so just wondering how he stacks up?

Want them med/high workrates. Could obviously play someone like N'Zonzi or IF Casemiro there but the LCM and LB would be worse with them in the team. Don't really fancy any of the more attacking central midfielders in La Liga. I could play Casemiro/Coutinho but then I'd have to use Milner or Moreno which I didn't fancy. I really like Saul in this game. He's very complete and has perfect workrates even though his card is ugly since it isn't rare. Will replace him with a legend though when I get enough coins.

He's very good. Doesn't run away from defenders though which is the main issue with him IMO. If you have surrounding players who can do that then you'll be fine. His dribbling and shooting is excellent

Yeah I've got IF Aspas and Martial next to him so should be all good for pace. As for Saul I'd probably swap him out for Sanches. Would drop the chem down to 7 but the defensive attributes he'd add would be well worth it for me.

Hmm I think you're right. I've already got an untradable OTW Sanches on my bench. Yeah I'll do it.
 
I don't get this. Why do you guys talk about how players can perform for you?

Isn't it all about how well you can play? It's not like the players are doing things by themselves :wenger:

I just don't get Ultimate Team

Because some players are better than others and players play differently on ultimate team so sometimes it's best to ask about which players are best suited before buying.

For instance Smalling is a million miles better than pretty much any other cb in the prem bar maybe Bailly despite his stats actually being lower than quite a few of them. Also Pique is gash despite having excellent ratings.
 
That's solid!

Cheers I haven't played a single game with it yet so don't know how it plays. I would have kante instead of Ben area but he's in my prem team.

Ben Arfa is great. Played more than 100 games with him, he scored so many goals for me at CAM.
 
Say hi to my new team

That IF Azpilicueta is a freak. More OP than Smalling. Also I advise you to test out IF Marcos Alonso at LB. Beats Shaw in most attributes + has a High-High work rate. Stick a Shadow on him and you'll thank me. I'm someone who doesn't really cross the ball much, so having a right footed LB with very good attacking attributes is amazing for me. Oh, and he's 6"2.
 
Think I'm going to do this Suarez sbc, I have quite a few la liga silvers and golds in my club already, plus you get £30k back and a hell of a lot of packs too...mmmm I'm tempted.

The way I see it is any Suarez card that gets released from now on will always be over a million, his first inform is around 1.2 million and his TOTY is over 3 million. You can do this card for probably 500-650k I think.
