Gaming FIFA 17

This is why the 4-3-3(4) formation is so good. If you have the wingers on cut inside and make runs in behind then chances like this will come to you very easily. I score so many of my goals from runs like this.

Thank you. I like to try and play quite expansive but dont have the camera angle right to see enough of the pitch to see runs etc all the time and end up playing slow build up or passes to players i cant see. This angle surely makes counter attacks extremely effective

Indeed. It's crucial to see enough of the pitch
 
12-2 now. Going to sign off for tonight quite happy with that start. What's everyone on now for WL?
 
8-1.

Trounced everyone except one guy who smashed me 8-2. He was taking the absolute piss out of me :mad:.

Actually took a 15 minute break after it because I knew I'd go into the next game tilted.
 
I'm on fecking 8-2 and I can't believe it. One of the losses was a really unlucky one. Was up against a guy with Ronaldo, Pele, Gullitt etc but I dominated but wasted my chances and he won 2-1. Other loss was just so fecking unlucky I can't believe I lost the game. Was against a guy with an average team in my 6th game and I thought to myself 'I can't lose so early against this team' and I just completely choked when he went 1-0 up. Think I lost 2-1 that game as well. I'm aiming for at least 35 wins so I'm fecking pissed at the moment. I'm just completely out of form it seems. Hopefully I can pick it up soon and get my wins. I can't lose a single game now in my 12 next games, I need that 20-2 if I'm going to stand a chance. I won 8-1 in my last game so who knows what will happen
 
Here's a really good tip: Never play away games. It means that the opponent has a better connection than you which increases the chances of meeting a really good player, I think. Also, I don't think the best players play away games at all so you avoid meeting them by always playing at home. Also, if you match up with an opponent who's eager to start the game even though the kits have similarities it's also more likely to be a pro player. That logic probably doesn't make sense but at least that's how I feel.

Edit: If his club name is a pun, it means you're going to kick him in the bum. Always play against them.

And don't even THINK about relaxing before you're at least 2-0 up. Getting that second goal is so important
 
Really couldn't be arsed cherry-picking opponents. It was awful when the Est. dates were still a thing, now you get a game almost straight away every time.

Still had two cowards back out when they saw my gold reward kit. It's a fecking Gold reward, I'm hardly a pro.

I went from 2-0 up at half time to 4-2 down by the 70th minute yesterday after my players started running in sand, struggled to pass 5 yards and inexplicably stopped running and kicked the ball away when running through on goal. Then this Brummie wanker plugged in his head set and started giving me abuse and singing shit house songs.


I made it 4-4 in the 85th minute and conceded a penalty in the 90+ minute.... figured he's a cocky prick so stood the goalkeeper still and he tried a panenka. Naturally I plugged in my microphone and gave him a very gracious thanks for a good game and wished him the best of luck in his endeavours.

He swore a bit and I could almost see the spit and bile landing on my screen.
 
Both my teams have at least 5 special cards :lol:. Normal gold cards look so boring that I'd rather pay the 10k more for a similar player in a special card. They don't even play anything different.. Just looks nicer
Next year will completely feck it. Too drunk to explain why bit I will later

:lol::lol::lol:
 
How come when I get disconnected I get a loss but when the opposition does I get a null result? Bullshit.
The one disconnecting will always get a loss regardless of score. The other player will either get a win if leading or a null result if equal or the other player is leading

I was the better team at least :(

Won the next game being heavily under pressure for most of it yet scoring 3 goals, other guy no doubt raging. Had switched back to 41212 too.

Not a pun, but I played some dope with "WHYUMADBRUH" as his UT name and his squad name as "hahahaUmad". He had a stellar team but was absolute pants. I was 3-0 up in the 20th min, he kept trying to rage tackle my players but I kept doing the Jay Jay Okocha flick over him and he quit.

Was so tempted to message him but I couldn't bring myself down to that level. :lol:
 
Only played the 1 game today which I won despite missing loads of chances. No idea when ill have time to fit in all 40 over saturday and sunday. Feeling good about my play but if I fit in enough games to get gold 3 even I'll probably be happy.
 
I have the same pattern week on week. Excellent start 8-9/10. Dodgy middle but still on for elite 14-15/20.

Then comes the shit. Can't buy a win to save my life. 18/30 max.

Last 10 turn it around to make gold 1 25/40.

This happens no matter how many disconnects, legendary teams, TOTY front 3 etc I come up against.

Surely I've got to make elite 3 at least once this year.

It's like it makes zero difference what squad I use or what squad they use I can only ever make gold fecking 1!!!

ELO again I guess. Try going onto online seasons and throwing a few games 4-0 around the 10 game mark?

That's weird. You're definitely good enough for elite

I am the exact same as you. Went 9-1, 3 losses in a row, won the next one and now I'm 10-4.

I guarantee I'll only win 6 or 7 out my next 15 games.
 
I won my first 2 but then in the 3rd I knew it was going to be a loss after the first few seconds, the button lag and general speed felt like a slug. The game is unplayable when its like that.

Hmm that's not a bad idea but it would take ages to get through everything that way. I'll try it when I next get to play though. Going to miss next weekend so zero chance of getting elite this month!
 
Just packed IF Jesus.

Going for anywhere upwards of 250k.

Cash in while he's the flavour of the month? He will surely fall. Crazy forward stats though.

If he fits into your team then I suggest you try him out. I think -he's really good, I've struggled against him.

Otherwise I'm on 16-3 right now. My form is starting to pick up again. It has to continue like this though, If I go on a loss anytime soon then reaching Elite 1 is going to be really difficult

ATM I was running a Brazilian team and have just started up a PL team for next weekend, perfect for both so I'll give him a bash.
 
I got a stupid red card with Smalling after 3 minutes but I won the game!!! I'm buzzing right now. Thanks to Medel who was a fecking wall in the defense. Was 2-0 up after 70 mins and he rage quit. 18-3

:lol: Can't believe it. Got dominated but scored on almost all of my shots. Can't remember being dominated and winning ever before. That was so undeserved. Feels so good. 19-3
 
Decided I'm selling everything after this weekend league and building a fresh squad with players I haven't used before.

Games got so stale for me lately!
 
Three times in a row I've been up against teams worth 20m+. This is fecking ridiculus

20-5. Keep matching against hyperteams. Manage to dominate but to be honest Florenzi doesn't stand a chance against TOTY Ronaldo so they usually manage to score on counter-attacks.
 
Never thought I'd say this but I fecking hate Georgie Best. Anyway I've finally found out how to beat those hyperteams. Lots of possession and slow buildup, don't let them control the game.
 
That Dele Alli card looks like it's only gonna cost around 100k. Might actually do it as I'll get back to a prem team eventually and the card looks quite good. Not sure what I'll do with my current 100k either so it works!

I started the first challenge and it looks like it could be way more than 100k the way prices are rising. I've invested about 20k and got 4 players from EFL League One so I'm hesitant to continue. Some of the MK Dons players are selling for 10k max instantly.

I hope prices drop because Alli's card looks great.

I ended up getting it after like 130k. Got nothing good from the rewards either. Oh well. Card looks great so I dont regret it really. Wanted to get a POTM card and this one is one of the only ines that was realistic
