Gaming FIFA 17

I got crap things in my packs :/ I had a feeling I was going to get IF martial, but no the best player I got was Karius the Liverpool keeper.
 
No EPL price boost from the WL this week :( was hoping to sell the lot and buy back early next week at a big profit.

Pogba is going for <590k. Lowest I have seen him.
 
Won $15 today on gamersaloon despite losing to that cnut BugzFIFA :). The games are difficult though but it's great practice.
 
Son has gone to shit for me and I don't know why. 2 goals in 10 games now. I'm still winning mostly but it's just Pogba and the wingers who are scoring.

35 goals in 39 starts for me with 28 assists. Try playing him off a target man and have him drift wide. His crossing is excellent.

I'm still debating on getting him. Is it worth getting him if when I switch to a 4-1-2-1-2, he plays next to Martial? I feel like a bigger guy is needed. Might just get IF Gray next to martial as he always wrecks me when I play against him. Or I still kind of want to try Pogba up top as he underwhelms in midfield.
 
This. His normal card is unreal so don't see the upgrade being worth it. I'd rather spend the money elsewhere.
I would spend 300k on it just because I love how IF cards look, plus an improved Martial would be a great card. But really it's mostly just how the card looks and so the oppo shits their pants when they see it.
 
Hows everyone set for this WL (16 players from bpl means 2 players from other leagues). I'm going with a 41212(2) as always. But this week I feel a lot more confident than usual. I've gone a bit more defensive this week, and stuck to organised on my custom tactics all round which has really nullified the counter attack. I usually give up about 60% possession but with organised build up and chance creation the gaps are nowhere to be seen and any conceded goals i can see the mistake i make as soon as it happens, while still having good enough chances that one or two good openings result in a one or two goal win.

Gk Courtois
Rb Florenzi
Cb Smalldini
Cb Koscielny
Lb Shaw
Cdm OTW Kante
Rcm Naingolan
Lcm Eriksen
Cam De Bruyne
Ls Sturridge
Rs Lukaku

Everyone except CAM and the strikers set to stay back while attacking. Last weeks choke job (18-9 finishing 20-20) is behind me, I have a full weekend with the games spread a bit more and a team and tactic I love. Hoping for gold 1, maybe sneak into elite if I am very lucky

I've only played him with 88Lukaku and they're the best partnership I've ever had on Fifa. See this:

That's why you pair him with 88Lukaku (haven't mentioned it on this page yet) and have him to drift wide. With catalyst he has 92 Crossing, 99 Pace, 93 vision and 94 long shots and 99 curve (finesse :drool:) so he's not just useful as a in behind poacher.


I play 4-1-2-1-2(2) and having him as an outlet drifting wide has been a massive boost to the formation for me. I know some (Eddy) don't like crossing but with Lukaku and Pogba attack the area I can't help myself.



On another note, I've finally ditched IF Schmeichel for Courtois. I stuck by him for ages as he's an untradeable card but Courtois is 10 levels above him and worth it for the throwing alone.
 
Anyone get any luck with rewards?

Managed to get Higuain and Martial in my TOTW pack :lol::D

EA have rigged my account. Never been this lucky with packs.

Got Boudebouz, Keane and Martial. Very happy :lol:

Don't know whether to keep Martial or sell and get Pogba.

Got the IF Marquinhos in my jumbo.

One of the potential teams I have planned out for next is mostly prem with 2 outside of prem. Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele OTW cards for the 2 non prems and the rest is prem. Something like this:
Sif Mkhi Auba OTW Dembele
POTM Alli OTW Pogba Kante
IF Alonso Bailly Smalling Walker
Courtois
Bench: Moussa Dembele, Shaw, Valencia, Koscielny, Willian, Martial, IF Gray.

Gives a nice squad of players to rotate around when needed especially the front 3 who get the most tired usually.

Nicely done. Personally I'd sell Martial and get Pogba, but up to you :D
 
Bentaleb rather than Boudebouz. Yeah think that's what I'll do. Is there much of an upgrade on the way Martial plays?

Not used Martial's IF, but just think Pogba is too good. Pretty much the perfect midfielder for this year's meta.
 
Got shit from my gold 2 rewards. Not a single player who goes for more then like 1000 above discard. Brutal.

Yeah just sold him. I've got the 86 Mkhi behind NIF Martial and Son.

My wide CMs are Pogba and Rooney. Is De Bruyne a big enough upgrade on Rooney for an extra 100k or whatever?

He really is. Crisp passing, good movement, quick, strong as an Ox and excellent shooting from range. The frostbite engine was designed around him.

How much are you looking to spend?

I've got

Butland
Walker Smalling OTW Bailly(untradeable) Shaw
Kante
Rooney Pogba
86 Mkhi
MOTM Son Martial

Got 180k left I think.

I'd rather have Hazard than Mkhi but it's hard with the chem and Martial on a 4-3-3 before swapping in game.

Very similar to my team that is. I had TOTGS Gundogan for a long while as RCM and he's been great (better stats than De Bruyne but doesn't feel as nimble) and just traded him for 88 Eriksson (who I've heard a rumour might be getting an upgrade) and haven't played enough to give a solid opinion just yet but everyone froths over his NIF and FIF so I'm hopeful.

If you can raise the extra funds I'd definitely recommend Gundogan for 300-320k.
 
----------------De Ge-------------------
Walker----Smalling---Hierro---IF Alonso

----Pogba-------88 Eriksen-----Kante

--86 Mane-----MOTM Son----Nedved

I can't lose with this team surely

I've not tried Gundogan but now very tempted.

Assuming loyalty is Martial on 7 chem a waste? Better just leaving Hazard and sticking with Mkhi?

Have you tried Willian?
 
Have you tried Willian?

No not even the normal one. It's to play as the CAM. Mkhi has great attributed but the H/H work rate is annoying. Is the normal Willian good to play as a CAM?
 
Despite having high dribbling stats I actually found Willian's touch very clunky. Pacey and a best but I've sold him again.
