Gaming FIFA 17

If Smalling was as good IRL as he is on FIFA :lol:

He's like a legend this year.

And Walker is just always OP.

Do you really find him that good? I only experimented with him briefly and found him a bit sluggish. I should probably give him another shot...

I thought about getting TOTY Ramos to pair with Boateng, but I have a really hard time leaving Smalling out.

I've had him since October I think. He never lets me down.
 
Had this the last 15 games

Basic Messi.

Do not want.
 
Can someone explain to me why I have performed worse this weekend with my new team than last weekend with my old team? I just don't understand it. It's not much worse but still. Should do much better now but I aint.

Maybe you're not used to playing with the new team and also, the new team has swapped Nainggolan for Fosu Mensah.

In real life, that's like swapping.......Nainggolan for Fosu Mensah.

:lol: TFM is a beast. But I often sub him off for Sanches but it doesn't really make any difference. I feel like they're quite similar in quality.
 
Played WL for the first time in a few months and I'm remembering why I'd stopped playing it :lol: It's so incredibly frustrating.

First 10 games I was 7-3 and the gameplay felt pretty normal. Second 10 games I went 5-5 and had a few absolute shite games where nothing went right. At 12-8 I was considering not even finishing it but thought I'd get 2 more wins for Silver 1 at least. Then in my third 10 I went 9-1. In some of those games I had so much luck I was actually shocked. My GK was saving everything, they'd hit the woodwork so often, I was scoring multiple goals in the first 10 mins. So at 21 wins with 10 games left I thought I may be able to reach Elite 3. Nope. Lost the next 4 games in a row, they were truly awful. Managed to get to Gold 1 with a game to spare. This game is so inconsistent, I can't even explain it.

Also, I fecking hate Smalling and Bailly in this game.
 
I'm much better on Sunday nights, or rather the opposition is much worse. Will have to be a late one to get my last 7 games in but 1 win needed for Gold 3, 4 for Gold 2. Have won 5 of last 6 so half a chance.
 
Made it to elite 3 with 1 game to spare thank feck. Should've got elite 2 but happy with 3.

I was 22-5 at one point and then went on a run with 1 win in 4 :lol:. Stumbled again on 28 but I've played 21 games today and absolutely sick of it.
 
Lost the last 3 games all on Penos.

Some of the shit I have seen tonight on the game :lol:.

I think I conceded more OGs tonight than the whole time the games been out. And why they still haven't fixed the corners yet is but a mystery.
 
Finished on 20 wins, shame I couldn't find another for Gold 2. Only 4 of my games went to extra time, I lost 2 on penalties and the other 2 AET so could've found a win there. Oh well, it's better than I've done in any other.

:lol: you have to laugh... it's kill yourself stuff.

Should have put them all away. If you go into the last 10mins 1-0 up you are conceding.
 
Finished on 20 wins which is gutting when at one point i was 18-9 and should have got gold 1. My work schedule was shit this weekend though and i had to play 33 games today, starting at 5-2. The last 10 games were a chore, lost all of them and just sick of fifa at this point
 
Finished Gold 2. Worse I've finished in ages but played my 3 games I had left to finish on 24 so that I've still got a chance at elite monthly rewards.

Mrs family are up next weekend so the only time I'm gunna get to play is Sunday. Fitting 40 games into one day is gunna be horrible but I normally face worse players on Sunday so hopefully I can do alright.
 
Finished Gold 2. Should have comfortably made Gold 1 if not for a dreadful patch on Friday.

For my second WL I'm not too disappointed but the quality of rewards just jumps up so much.

Gonna get Baily and replace both Son and Mahrez, Martial and Willian most likely, he'll fit nicely in the brazil team too.

Front 3 is rapid, very happy with them but Willian would still displace Lucas. Back line and keeper are also very strong, dunno what to do with this bar get some IFs in. Will probably ditch it soon as i've been playing it for a while and only really to accommodate OTW Giuliano, who's shite anyway.
 
Won my last 3 games to salvage the weekend and got gold 2. Probably played better because I decided I was happy enough with my gold 3 rank so figured feck it. Get in.

Yeah gold 2 to gold 1 is a massive leap! Hopefully pick up something decent from the rewards but I doubt it :-/
 
Barely made elite 3. Think I have some serious work to do on my team. Won't play at all next weekend though which sucks a bit.
 
Got Baily and Martial, provided Mahrez sells I should have enough for Willian in the morning.

Pretty happy with that as a Prem team then, is it definitely confirmed as Prem for next weeks WL?
 
What's the best day to sell my EPL side this week if it's an EPL WL? Friday and buy back Monday?

I was drafting my team and need a ST. The only player I want now is MOTM Song! Them stats are Kray Kray
 
Yeah gameplay was woeful this weekend.

That's infuriating. EA's FIFA team should really drop everything else and just focus on making online as smooth as possible - I mean that's where the real joy of the game is, I can never understand why anyone would be bothered with FIFA offline.

And while I'm on a rant: They should also have bandwith requirements for playing online so you don't get stuck in a match against someone with a poor connection!

Used to be Thurs evening for peak times on prices as WL starts on Friday morning. But now they moved rewards to Thursday evening, the servers are fecked so I would sell Weds evening and buy back Mon/Tues.

You not man enough for WL? Or actually have a life to partake in? :smirk:

I made that mistake a few months back. Never again. My girlfriend gets me on the weekends for fresh air activities :)

I played earlier and it was going at about 12fps.

I used Son to dribble through his defence 3 times and he didn't have a hope in hell of timing his defensive actions. He quit at 3-0 and then the next game wasn't much better. 3-3 when I needed a win for promotion though :(
 
For those who regularly get in the Elite do you get to trade players from your rewards?

It's my first time getting Elite 3 so wasn't sure? Even if they are tradeable i gurentee i get a sack full of shit.
