Gaming FIFA 17

It's a bit tragic that in a game which is trying to gain traction in the e-sports scene, the best way to defend is by not actually defending with your defenders.
 
Despite having high dribbling stats I actually found Willian's touch very clunky. Pacey and a best but I've sold him again.

I love his IF though. But I had similar problems with his normal card.

I feel like I'm very under strength for this weekend seeing some of the teams in here.

I'm currently going with.

Courtois
Bellerin Smalling OTW Bailly Moreno
Kante Rooney
Ozil
IF Willian Sturridge Sanchez

87 Bernado Silva, Douglas Costa and Martial for my 3 subs.

Got 88k sat in the bank but can't figure a way to improve without spending north of 200k
 
Actually used that 5212 in a draft today and I really like it actually.
 
That new playing abroad sbc gives great rewards and it's pretty cheap. If you do it even a little bit smartly then you could get it for like 40k max. I was rushing so fecked up a few times and spent like 60k on it :lol: Still getting basically it all back though. It's like a guaranteed profit so I suggest people do it.

IF Marcos Alonso is pretty beastly at left back if you want to try him instead of Moreno. POTM Alli is really good too, though you would have to do that sbc and you can't get your money back if you don't like him.
 
Came up against yet another top 100 guy with a team worth probably 20mil. Was in the lead until the 84th minute where he scored and he scored yet again in extra time. Hushing and dabbing and then went on to call me all sorts of stuff on gamersaloon :lol: Some people are unbeleivable. The fifa community really is atrocious.

I'll have a look at that sbc now seen as how I've got coins floating around.

Just spent 12 grand trying to do the Italy one and it seems I need loyalty as the players all have 9 chem :-/

Its still worth it, just go in a single player game and disconnect from the network 10 times to get it. I spent I think 65k on players and position cards cause I fecked up a bunch and rushed with stuff, but still got it all back from everything without getting anything more then average rewards. Like 10k in coins and then 5 pretty great packs.

Yeah I will at some point just hope I've got time before it runs out as I'm busy for the next couple of days.
 
I've won 6/7 shootouts after I started shooting and diving randomly. I'm using a random number generator 1-10 to decide where to shoot and where to dive. It's fecking brilliant, highly recommended. Just google 'random number generator' and it pops up
 
Gabi was the best player I packed from the rewards.

Grim.

Is next weeks weekend league requirements confirmed?
 
Spent 4 grand total for all the SBCs :drool:

Haven't opened my packs yet though, treat for when I get home. :)
 
7-2 so far. Should have been 8-1 but for a couple of stupid decisions at 2-0 up that let my opponent back in, only for me to then lose on pens. The other loss was a 5-1 hammering, couldnt get near the guy. Feeling really comfortable using my current tactic, and love that organised all over means that they dont rotate up front and leave massive gaps in midfield. Kante and Naingolan literally sit there waiting for the ball to come back. Still only hoping for gold 1, maybe elite 3 depending how the next 10 games goes
 
Rematched against BugzFIFA. Unfortunately the console doesn't let me record longer than 5 mins so here's the majority of the 2nd half

I just can't fecking believe it :lol:
Nope, woudn't have finished that game. Console would be off and out the window at that point.

It's just ridiculous that it can happen at this point.
 
The aids, my god the aids.

It's fecking unbeleivable. And it wasn't just any other game, I was playing a pro and $20 was on the line. And he's an arrogant cnut so beating him would've been so damn satisfying.

Jeez it's bad enough losing a normal game of FIFA in that situation, let alone with money on the line. This game is far too uncontrollable in that sense, it's not a true test of skill. He should have given you a rematch for it with that BS.

Indeed he should. Instead he kept rubbing it in my face that he beat me twice. Unfortunately that's common behaviour amongst the young fifa gamers. But what the hell, it was good fun playing someone on that level and good practice for sure.
 
Just getting the loyalty to finish all the playing abroad sbc and then going to open my packs together. Cost me 60k overall but I'll get a bit back hopefully from these packs.

I find that easier to deal with than a smug bastard messaging me saying gg after he nicks a win with 1 shot on target after my 18
 
Started doing that bronze pack method to get some coins. Basically you buy the 400 coin packs and list most players for 150 start and 200 buy now, but check players in case they go for more. 4 packs in and I get an MK Dons bronze guy who goes for 7.5k :lol: Nice

Nice :D I open bronze packs quite a lot to do the BPM and have pulled 3 MK Dons cards, one was a silver too. Its fun because you get to open packs and can make small profits too.
 
Currently 13-2 which puts me on course for Elite 3 I guess. Seem to be playing quite fluid today and no FIFA aids yet.

ST Son has bagged 14 goals in 15. He's an absolute tank.
 
Smalling and Carvalho were the best cards from those 9 SBC packs :(


Upgrades at 6 tonight?

Ouch that cost you 60k too?

Been ages since i grabbed a player i want. Get lots of high rated but useless players, Cavani and Godin from last two marquee matchups.

Nah 4K luckily so it's about 40-50k profit all said and done
 
I was hoping to have good lag free games this WL but its as bad as ever, its not the stop start kind of lag but everything is so slow and unresponsive. I just played my first game and lost 2 1 to a bullshit penalty given away by my CPU player and a horrible own goal from a crappy cross that bounced of my defender.
 
I can't even fathom what is happening in my game at the moment. 90th minute 1 goal down. Guy waits for ages at kick off and then makes a sub so the time runs down. Scored at 88 and the whistle went when he kicked off!!!
 
YES!!!!!! Came up against a guy who had one of the best teams possible with players like IF Martial, Vieira and Gullit. Knew straight away that this was a top top player. And I fecking won. 2-1, had 37% possession hahah. fecking hell that was a challenge. Deserved win though, he did have the ball but didn't really break through my defense.

Googled his GT after the game, turns out it was this guy

#71 in the current month.

Can't believe how much I've improved since switching to 5-2-1-2 :devil: Nothing like beating top100 players with my 'cheap' team.

8-0 so far
