Gaming FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

I did.

Thought Fernandinho was better personally, and Kante should be better than both.

Yeah Kante will undoubtedly be better than both. Gueye has been immense in every draft I've used him in. Outshone Silva, Herrera, Matic and Dembele. In fact I'm going to sell Dembele now and pick Gueye up.
 
Going via FUTBIN (shows you the cheapest BINs of a player on the market https://www.futbin.com/18/leagues/Calcio+A) I came up with this:
http://www.futhead.com/18/squads/664189/

I reckon you might be able to squeeze that out with a bit more than 11k. Probably around 15kish. It's nothing amazing but Eder, Zielinski and Suso look real good value for money. Alternative players in positions on the bench.

Cheers man. I'll keep plugging away for a bit yet then set about that team. Immobile looks a good shout from Serie A too.

I had him as one of my 2 subs for quite a while. He's not bad but not great.
 
My pal has just packed a OTW Lukaku in a normal gold pack. Not bitter at all with my pack luck.
 
Got my team ready for the weekend league. IF Mertens is pretty amazing, 133 goals in 73 games but I might sell him and get the normal one instead and then upgrade the rest of my team. I've already made 200k profit on him but his price is only going to go further up from here..

I haven’t used him but from playing against him...Schneiderlin is really good in this game.
 
Some strong looking squads for this weekend! I'm going to struggle with my team. Relying on Bakambu and Correa to get me goals lol!

What's everyone aiming for? Elite 3 at least by the look of those squads! I'll probably settle for a gold 1/2
 
Was on a horrible losing streak so went back to a Serie A team and gone for a 5 at the back formation :nervous: won both games so far!
 
Made a cheap Ligue 1 team, Ben Arfa's still fantastic, only spent 700 coins on him too which is a ridiculous bargain.
 
I’m aiming for elite 1, but dreaming of top 100. Don’t know if that’s realistic though.
 
I need to qualify today. Not going to have much time to play though with it being the Mrs birthday and her friends coming up from London to stay.

If I can get into Gold 1 or 2 without playing all the games I'll be happy.

You should sacrifce sleep. Wait until your woman has fallen asleep, get out of bed and play!

Xbox is in our room as that's where the biggest tv in the house is. Her and her mates will be sleeping in here so I'd look quite strange waiting for them all to fall asleep and then perching on the end of the bed lol!
 
I'm just hoping I'll be able to play enough games to make gold 3 this weekend. Things friday night, saturday night (along with Bosnia playing during the day) and then all of Sunday being thanksgiving. Feel like I'll get at most 25 games done, if that.

Yep I'm similar, Friday I'm taking her for a meal, Saturday her mates come up and it's her actual birthday night out, Sunday we'll be rough so that's my main opportunity.

Alternatively you could put down the Xbox pad and heavily suggest an orgy?
 
Very tempted to sell my pricy players and use loan cards for this WL and rebuy them when they go down. Mbappe is pretty much 230k now after he was 120k before his OTW card came out which was still overprices. Sanchez is over 180k, martial and dembele 75k, eriksen over 100k, bailly and Varane 60k or so. Especially if I'm not gonna have time time for the full WL... probably a smart choice to do it. Feel like its guaranteed big profit.

Something you could get away with as a child, but as an adult you will definitely have some questions to answer when the guests leave! :lol:

Yeah I should probably do the same. Problem comes if a player keeps killing teams in WL everyone will want them so the prices could go up.

Mbappe's price will for sure fall though. As good as he is... 230k for an 83 ovr striker? Crazy. Decided I will later tonight though when it'll be at its peak I'm guessing. Tonight or tomorrow early. But if I sell everyone I'll have 1mil :lol:. Feel like my players have gone up by a good 2-300k since i bought them all.
 
Also another argument for the 2 teams vs 1 team. If I made just 1 team pretty much the only difference would be adding Pogba in. He's class, but for a whole team? Probably not IMO at least.
 
I yet to buy the game so far, will probably get it in 2 or 3 more days. I just hope I won't be left too far behind when I start.

I'm entering with a Premier league team and that's the current team I'm starting with :

I've just packed IF de bruyne doing the league and nation hybrid sbc, I never get anything this good from UT, haven't even put money into it. I'm buzzing

Zaha is absolute trash for me. I actually only attack down the left because of him:lol:

Yet to try him but I bought him for his insane pace. If he appears to be trash anyway I'll be able to sell him for good price so it's not a massive lose.
 
Anyone think prices will inflate come the weekend? Looking at how Mbappes price inflated last week, just wondering if it'll be worth holding onto this card and milk it for more.

That’s a good team though, I had Gabiadini but replaced him with Hernandez, who I picked up fairly cheap.

Thanks. I'm planning to replace Gabiadini later on when I get some coins to get one of the top strikers but as a start for the game think he'll be good and his stats looks good too. I got him for 700 coins only so it was no brainer for me. :D

His max price range is 230k, so not sure if they'll increase it or if he'll go down once his normal card is back in packs. I would say tomorrow they'll be at their peaks and then go down, but not sure how much.

I'd upgrade goalkeeper. Maybe get Sandro too? Otherwise save for Mertens/Naingolan

Brilliant team. Ghoulam has giant throw-ins. Manually move up one of your cb’s and aim the throwins at them and you’ll score a few.

How is Hamsik and Mario working out? I’d look to get some strength in that midfield. Otherwise get a better goalie maybe?

Save up a tiny bit more then get Mertens for Insigne would be my guess. Though how is using 3 players under 5'8" going for you up top? Usually like 1 person to win headers.
 
Tips for UT, I never actually played all that much only dabbled a bit but going to give it a whirl this time round.
 
@Mogget @Macern I've not noticed any drop having Perin instead of Handanovic who I had before, but that's probably because I've gone 5 at the back and he's having less work to do! There's not really anyone else aside from him and Buffon is there?

@bosnian_red Eder is scoring all my goals so he's staying put but I might try a taller striker in place of Insigne for a few games and see how I get on.

You could try Donnarumma. And Belotti doesn’t look too bad
 
In however many years of FUT (founder) I've never packed an inform, although I've never bought a pack, only free ones that come with the game and winning competitions.

Just bought 12,000 FIFA points so it better deliver me something nice.
