Gaming FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

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.
Let us know what you get!

Awaiting your pain....
 
Just managed to qualify for weekend league but my God it was an absolute struggle! Lost once in the final then last minute winner in the semi, last minute equaliser in the final which I won on penalties.

Think I'll take my estimations down a bit for this weekend league
 
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

Absolutely! He’s a good striker! I found him to pop up at the right times.

RIP

Should have bought earlier.
 
Instead of writing off this WL altogether I decided to make two teams worth around 20k each (ligue 1 and Calcio A). Both seem pretty decent to be fair and I can probably still do alright with them. So have this, along with 1mil coins...

Keita Jovetic Malcom
Cyprien Fabinho Seri
Mendy Le Marchand Djilobodji Rafael
Trapp

Nani Eder Felipe Anderson
Lulic Allan Zielinski
Dalbert Jesus Tonelli Karsdorp
Perrin
Edit: Scratch that, might get a legend in with those coins to be part of both these teams and hope it goes up? No idea how stable legend prices are though. Maybe Shevchenko? Also memphis was piss in the 1 game i played so I'm getting Keita instead.

If you are any good you should easily get gold 2 with that team, very well balanced.
 
anyone tried out Khedira and/or Biglia? Dont know which one to get for the more defensive midfield position, i wanted to upgrade on Allan. I play with a midfield 3, the other two midfielders are Nainggolan and one of Milinkovic-Savic/Joao Mario.

I use Biglia, he's slow and quite poor on the all but if you tell him to stay back and man mark he's very effective.

Doubt I'll play enough games to get to gold but I'd be happy with anything over 10 wins tbh. Probably going to play 20 games max.
 
Struggling like mad at the moment. What formations are people using?

Sneaking 1-0 wins on professional at the moment! Can’t seem to get any fluidity.

I feel dirty but since I’ve changed to 5-2-1-2 I’ve won 3 and drew 3 after losing about 5 in a row.
 
whats your team

I’ve got 2. Both 4-3-3 (2) at the moment although may change that slightly.

Subasic
Evra
Perrin
Marquinhos
Alves
Verratti
Fabinho
Pastore
Lucas
Lemar
Balotelli

Donnarumma
Lukaku
Benatia
Koulibaly
Lichtensteiner
De Rossi
Khedira
Bonaventura
Perisic
Bernadeschi
Belotti

Will upgrade positions when possible, can’t play with Belotti at all...going to swap him for Icardi in the short term.

Go 433(4) attacking mids are key on this game.
 
Anyone else struggling like hell to break down parked buses? They are just impossible to score against. Blocking shots is so OP this year that there's literally no way to find a gap between nine guys huddled inside the penalty area and still beat the keeper. These teams usually have a 90 pace midget on the wing idling around at the halfway line, and since I spend ages passing it around in their half trying to find a small hole in the defence my own defence pushes up too. As soon as that hail mary ball gets hoofed out of their defence the midget on the wing has acres of space for himself, and I just can't get a hold of my defenders quickly enough to catch him.

It's literally gotten to a point where I lose every game against parked buses and win by five against anyone else. It's doing my head in.

Set your instructions to defensive and possession. It should stop your defenders from over committing.
 
Just finally managed to win qualification to the weekend league there! Kept running in to mega teams which was annoying. One guy beat me when I only needed one win, he had a team with fecking Ronaldo and Bale in it. He scored in like the 60th minute then proceeded to just keep the ball and waste as much time as possible. Thankfully though I've made it. :D
 
Injuries are bugged in this sometimes. First of all, the frequency of them. But also I noticed that the players just stay injured and the games don't go down. Just played 3 games with Seri being injured, and checked and he still had 2 games left. I doubt he had 5 games to start with.

You not got loads of healing cards from sbc etc?

Feels good doesn't it. I'm dreading some of the teams I'm going to come up against though can guarantee there will be some excellent sides.
 
How much do people expect squad fitness cards to rise tomorrow? Currently 1100 BIN considering picking up 100 off them to sell tomorrow when prices rise. If they go up by 500 I'd make 50k

They're all in my transfer pile along with the squad fitness cards! I rotate teams so I never need to use them, but it's just bugged as in the number of games out not going down sometimes after playing a game which makes me use other players twice in a row or something.
 
Actually never mind, they aren't bugged. They just get stupidly long injuries. Just had the standard injury I get, checked how long he's out for.... 4 fecking games :lol: What the feck EA

Dumb Q. WebApp or game quickest to bulk buy?

I'd hold on to them until next week. I've got around 50 from SBCs, not to sell. I'd imagine a lot of others have a heap at the moment so waiting a week or two might be the best option.
 
Card weights are highest during release day generally.
Oh fair enough, what about when new IF come out, or is that shear luck?

Tbh I'm not sure they'll rise a whole lot, they stuck at 1100 last year. The cards I'm surprised at are position modifiers.

They normally go above that in WL though. I remember them at almost 2k last year
 
Rashford costs 45k! :wenger:

I got him in a pack yesterday and thought I'd be able sell him for a few thousand at least. Got quite the surprise when I saw his price.
 
I did the same with Martial, packed thinking I’d get 20kish, ended up with 60+. The crazy thing with Rashford is that everybody is buying him in the knowledge that’ll he drop in price dramatically at some point.

So who’s ready for the pain that is the weekend league?
 
Is there any way to see the rough price of position modifiers and stuff? I checked FUTBIN and every position just says 150>5000.

Look it up in the transfer market. No website that gives you the price afaik, except for the web app ofc.
 
Still struggling for goals but seems to be an improvement in overall gameplay using the 4-3-3 (4). Bit of luck this morning doing the SBC's...so far packed Martial and Ibrahimovic!
