Gaming FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

Settled for Elite 2 this weekend. I've been inconsistent as feck, and changing team, formation and playstyle during a weekend is rarely a good sign. At least I've managed to finish a weekend league for the first time since october I think. Hopefully I'll keep playing in the coming weekends and improve my form.
 
WL being extended for another day, saved my ass as I hadn’t been able to play much and I gotsta go to my brother’s graduation tomorrow preferably without looking like a zombie from playing 30 odd games.

8-4.

I’ve come to believe that when my players are feeling slow and useless, it must have something to do with a disparity in internet connections cos every now and then I keep getting these fecked up ridiculous games. I just quit now and don’t even bother, counted for 2 of my losses.
 
Are you guys going to invest in irish players before St. Patricks day? I might sell my whole team in a few weeks and invest all my coins in a silver player.
 
Connect your EA account to a Twitch account and you'll be in with a chance of winning some big players/packs due to the FUT champs reigonals. Giving out 99 Ronaldo and 94 Ronaldinho I believe. Just got an untradeable rare players pack myself.

Sorry just seen this. It's over now. The chance of packing any huge player was probably similar of packing them in a gold pack so you didn't miss out on much
 
Think I'm going to get Elite 1 for the first time which is nice. It's the second time I've ever had the chance to play every game throughout the week and I'm on 74,300 with 6 games to play, I'm not sure how many points it generally takes to get Elite 1 but I feel like I'll get there.

I don't know how you guys have such good teams! Like I haven't gotten Elite 1 before but it isn't even that rewarding, 39,500 coins and two mega packs is far from enough to be buying a top player isn't it?

My best player is Sanchez who is surprisingly cheap at about 80k. But the likes of Pogba, Kante, KDB, Hazard etc cost so much money that you'd need a few Elite 1's just to buy them!

I've spent real money on FUT twice, €80 in total and the returns were abysmal, I probably got a total of like 80k coins it was madness.

Trading is really easy in fut 18. I just buy calcio a gold players for under 1,000 and sell them for double minimum. Just focus on a couple of players with good stats. It's usually Jorginho, Lukaku, Parolo, Eder, Bernardeschi, SMS (sometimes), Astori and Donnaruma for me. I have almost entire United squad (granted just Lingard and Young from the informs) in 3 weeks and never played any WL (I am quite bad at it, so not even bothered playing WL qualifying games:lol:)

Yeah saw that I’d probably missed it, thanks anyway.

I’ve never traded on FUT. Any more tips? Might try out your Serie A approach now.
 
Guys, I'm currently sitting on 2.5m coins and looking for trading opportunities. Any tips? Was thinking of buying OTW Kessie since a cheap OTW player will be in high demand for the SBC's when the new OTW's come out.

I think you can do it for any league. Just look up the price on futhead for the player you want to trade. I usually by the players from 11pm to midnight.

I also always list the players for 1 hour and use the app to re-list unsold items a much as I can.

Cool thanks. I have the futbin and fifa app.

Pogba right now is relatively low risk. If he gets potm (which a good performance vs spurs could give him) there's a good chance he'd be needed for the sbc as his card would be 91 rated I think. Plus his normal price is around 400k anyway so not big loss but potential big gain. Other possibilities there are Aguero or Martial. My guess is pogba and Aguero would be a similar price and martial would probably cost around 3-400k to do, so United/city in forms, high rated players, things like that.

Otw sbc's are obvious, piszczeck and juanfran are always easy investments.
 
Oh god. FUT servers seem to be down and I've literally got one win left to make Elite 3.
It's fecked up. I'm one win away from auto qualifying for next weekend and got booted off the servers after I won my match. Got back into the game for minute and the game had been recorded as a loss and now the servers are down again.

Cheers. Did a lot of research and ended up buying 3 x POTGS De Bruyne and a few 84 rated Sterlings. What do you think of that? That KDB card is probably going to be improved to 93 once he gets his upgraded normal card, and he'll probably get 5* weak foot too. Sterling's 84 card will go up to 86 while his SIF will only go from 86 to 87.

That seems decent. Not sure how much De Bruyne will increase with a 5 star weak foot, but you'd think he should. Sterling is getting a considerable boost and probably all with passing/shooting so his card will theoretically become a lot better, so again, decent shout. Not sure it'll go up as much as it should because he has higher in forms though.

What's this then? Are existing cards upgraded? What's going on here?? :lol:

That De Bruyne card should (will) go from 91 to 93, taking it quite close to his TOTY card. Right now he’s at ~740k while his toty is at 1.8m. I’m hoping he goes up to at least 1 million. 5 star weakfoot should at least make a small difference.
Fingers crossed.
Because the prices of Irish players always go up around St. Patty’s day. It’s because of SBC’s

Special cards go up in rating when the new base cards come out (normal base cards don't change rating). Weak foot upgrades affect them all though.

Ah forgot De Bruyne will proobably get a rating upgrade too. Sofifa is usually a good site to look at to see who gets upgraded, though it's not everyone. Remember Rojo was switched to an 83 center back last season but didn't get an upgrade card.
 
Any of the transfers going to change any of your strategies.. Auba in an EPL team might be tasty.
 
That Kostic IF card looks amazing, perfect for a Right CAM with matic is CDM.
 
A while ago I decided to switch out De Gea, seeing as he was so pricey, and get Courtois in. Last weekend I had a lot of cash to spare, and decided to get him back... holy feck how I’ve missed him. I forgot how often he’d bail me out in situations which would inevitably lead to a goal.
 
Ughhh.. EA should seriously ban people with a poor connection from playing online. Ruins the whole experience!

I was just matched up against someone with a terrible lag, and the cnut refused to quit the match - how can anyone enjoy playing a game of FIFA with lag?

Didn’t you check the ping bar before starting the match? I always check it for 2-3 seconds and never enter a match if it drops down to yellow.
 
Any of you guys ever play seasons too.. or just Ultimate Team?
 
In ultimate team, yeah. You talking about seasons outside FUT?

Think I’ve played two or three games so far. It’s not as fun, and can’t be arsed to play through the lower divisions.

Yup outside FUT. My issue is whenever I play with mates they'e all clued up with particular clubs and I can't adapt to the club side I pick because been playing FUT only.

I played till division 6. The quality of players there are shocking though. I just play them when I want to relax a bit from the tension found in FUT.

Strength pace and dribbling, unreal Card for 60k.

2 star week foot though and I think like 71 finishing and low composure so not a ST, literally can’t hit anything off his right foot.

I used him to qualify for the WL and he had 6 goals and 3 assist, 2 of the goals backpost headers (he’s 6ft and strong)

Might pick him up but I just can’t abide a 2 star week foot for WL, Bundesliga is v under rated though, funnest league I’ve used so far and get good cards every week... have you used SIF bailly? He’s unreal.

Robben off for SiF Lozano at HT usually.
