Gaming FIFA 17

Okay so I have 180k to spend. How should I improve either of these 2 sides? Or should I just hold out for a few weeks and wait for another 100k after the WL coming up which would give me probably around 300k. Teams are:

IF Perisic, TIF Icardi, SIF Isco
IF Joao Mario, Nainggolan, Modric
Alex Sandro, Manolas, IF Tonelli, IF Piccini
Handanovic

Martial, Lacazette, TIF Bernardo Silva
OTW Pogba, SIF N'Zonzi, IF Pizzi
TOTGS Sidibe, Umtiti, Varane, IF Semedo
Oblak​

Handanovic and Pogba are untradable so that's I have him in net in my serie A team, buffon isn't worth the upgrade really. Weak point is obviously Umtiti in that second one. Question is do I just splurge and get Sergio Ramos, or do I go for Pepe (or anyone else from LaLiga) and then save the coins for someone else? Both sides I switch to a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) with Isco and bernardo Silva as the CAMs, and both are class for me really. Get close to either a goal or assist in every game. Icardi I'm definitely keeping as he's grown on me. Didn't like him for the first 15 games or so, and then suddenly turned into a tank and scores basically every game.

Don't see any major improvements you could make tbh. I'd say wait

Think I played 15 games or so. Think I had one loss, one draw and the rest wins but I couldn't dominate the opponent at all in any of those games tbh. My pressing with the 4-3-3(4) is so good that the opponents usually struggle a lot to actually get to my half of the pitch but with the 4-3-2-1 the ball was everywhere on the pitch.

My new team (4-3-3(4)):
Vitor Baia
IF M.Antonio - Smalling - Thiago Silva - Marcelo
Pogba - Matuidi
IF Mkhitaryan - SBC Lacazette - Neymar
Owen

This can't go wrong. Formation is perfect, everyone on full chemistry, no weak links and I've got Neymar who is unstoppable. I'm excited to test Owen and Mkhitaryan, I've already used every other player before so I know what I'm getting. What's nice is that if they don't perform I can always switch them out.

So yeah, that team sucked. I'm apparently incapable of making anything near the level of my old team after getting 1.8m richer.

I've now made this:
http://www.futhead.com/17/squads/4495157/

Waiting for Opara to sell so I can buy the last couple of players, the guy is fecking unsellable what the feck

I swear to god if this sucks I'm going to throw my xbox out of my window.
 
You guys must really suck at this game, you're using squads which are like cheat codes, you should do like I do and make it a challenge with a shit squad and lose at least 50% of your games. Also concede at least 3 goals in the first half of every match.

Amateurs.
 
Can someone please buy Opara scream version? PLEASE it's only 67k and 23k cheaper than the other card on the market. Yes there are only two.
 
Had about 10 OTW challenges and can't be bothered with it. Got Kante, Hummels, Dembele x2, Pjanic, Stones, Sane, Krychowiak, Morata, Embolo and an accidental untradeable Bailly. No Pogba. :(

I was up to about 430k after Kante and down to 300k so not going to go for anymore. Will keep Sane and hope he gets an in form.

Two more attempts at the OTW SBC.

Embolo then John the diasaster Stones.

Was considering building a Prem team and packed Mahrez and Gundogan and a few decent prem players though. Stones can be back up CB, can't be fecked with this OTW shit anymore. Well over a dozen attempts.

I've gone past counting now. Just got Dembele in my final attempt. Heard he's crazy good as an 84 so I've replaced Douglas Costa on my bench with him. Now got my reward Silva and OTW Dembele on the bench!

I'd have kept Kante his normal card is unreal so a 3 upgrade on that with more likely to come I wouldn't be letting go of for anything.

I guess so. Im just terrible at sitting on a stack of coins and waiting it out so its going to be a challenge not attempting to change my entire team for no reason :lol:

Poor move. I played him for almost a hundred games. His shooting is absymal. But meh maybe you can get something out of him.
Edit: Oh it's just the bench, why not then.

I'd swap Alonso and Alba and bang Smalling and De Gea in there instead. Then again I'm on the verge of selling my la Liga team in order to keep doing this fecking OTW. I'm desperate for Kante or Pogba and I've got zero chance!

I've ran out of coins so would need to sell a team to carry on having a go. Feel free to send some of your 1.8m coins my way if you want :lol:

I don't play a PL team but I did think of keeping him. Needed the coins at that time though. On another note I am sick to the sick of Diego fecking Castro :lol:

I've ever got him but Morata Sane and Bailly I can't stop getting. Got Bailly in my team as untradeable so keep pulling him has killed my balance. 3 times I've had to discard him!!!

That would leave Smalling, Alba and Kante with 7 chem. Will possibly put IF Azpi in there when I get enough coins. I can barely affort that team. Playing with Begovic, Bruno Peres and fecking Medel now instead of Courtois, Alves and IF Mario because I CANT feckING SELL OPARA.
 
I don't even want to think about how much coins I've lost changing my teams in the last days. I'm guessing around 100-200k. That damn 5% tax
 
Macern said:
:lol: I can probably lend you some when I settle with a team and start stacking up coins again.
Click to expand...

I'll settle for that. Need to elevate my teams to that next bracket as I'm just changing players for ones of the same quality lately. I'm putting a transfer ban on myself until the next monthly rewards now. Just wish this fecking OTW would feck off so I could stop spending coins!

I'm now playing this. Thinking about sticking with it, looks very good.
Edit: 86 Salah not NIF

Seen a few use Fosu but just doesn't make sense to me. Also Darmian???? You'll get sick of him rapid. Anyways I'm off to sleep got the day free tomorrow to smash WL so gunna start early and see how much I can get done.

:lol: Darmian for the win. Chemistry purposes ofc.
 
So that Rooney hero card is a beast. :eek: Also, Alejandro Gomez, a little monster to bring off the bench. Just won div 1 again going 8-1-1 switching between these two.

Plus TOTT Ayew, surprisingly good. He just knocks people off the ball when dribbling.

EDIT: Links keep breaking.
 
That's the most dodgy defense I've used. Do NOT play a team where every defender have high attacking workrates :lol:

Not Suprised at all about that Rooney card. His normal card is unreal so I knew that one would be mental!
 
Did another OTW

For my John Stones I got a....

John Stones.

Dunno why I do this to myself.
 
You know you're in deep water when you have more than two million coins to spend on a team and you end up with Darmian at centre back

My WL team. Switch to 41212 with Insigne at the CAM.

They say 86 Salah is better than 87. Have only tried 86 - he's unreal.
Also I've tried that Brozovic card and he was absolutely useless for me. Let me know if you have any success with him.
Otherwise David Luiz is always dodgy but his workrates match Smalling really well so could work. If not you can always put Darmian in there so you get full chemistry on De Rossi :cool:
 
Macern said:
Worth a try. I got screwed over so hard :lol: Deep down I knew it was going to fail real hard but had to try it for some reason.

Switched to this

And AMEN to that team because it feels perfect and I say that after just one game. You just know straight away if a team is working or not, at least I do. It's all about the balance of it. Does it manage to dominate the game and keep up pressure while having enough cover behind to stop counter attacks? It's so essential and this team does it just as well as my old team before I got SBC Pogba.

Took me maybe 10-20 tries but I finally found my team it seems. Can't wait to play 100 games with it. How silly of me, thinking I could get away with building a team without 86 Salah. He's Messi on drugs.

And Opara just sold. Can't believe it. That must be a sign from heaven telling me that I've found my team. I'm almost getting religious here

I had the 86 Salah before the rewards and having only played 6 or so matches with both i prefer the 87. Might change during WL :lol:. Brozovic has got 8 goals in 8 games for me, but I was looking at Hamsik. I'll see how it goes.
