Not sure I should take part in another tournament, peaked finishing runner up last time.
Gaming FIFA 19
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
Got IF Glik as my best player. Class.
Runner up? Must have been a weak field
Anyone think they’ll change Nani/Van Basten because of the leak? I know they did at Futmas a few times.
I got CB Rijkaard, badly need that CDM Desailly now to allow me to swap them in game.
Too many congested in Division 7 and Division 4.
Which makes sense since that's the 'average' level.
Not everyone will get to division 2 or 1.
EA don't seem to realize that.
Yeah really strange, surely now there's too many in div 2 and 4 or whatever
Played you in the final.
Finished on 18 wins with 5 games to spare last night, just couldn't play any more. I switched my team loads throughout so don't know what was working but I didn't come away from 1 game thinking I was lucky or deserved to lose. In the end I had Bale coming off the bench minute 1 and he was quality
Not bad, didn’t you start playing fifa 19 only a few months ago? What’s your best WL record?
Motivation to complete all WL games has gone out the window, got to 17 wins with 7 left and just couldn't face anymore.
Yeah just back playing couple of months. I don't finish my games so ill never know. With a team on par with most people I would be wanting to hit Elite 3 consistently but my team just isn't right yet. I love Bale but cant play him because I have Pogba from WL rewards, Luiz FB, Stoichkov from baby upgrade. Don't really want to sacrifice them as I have little coins to spend. With those players + 400k
I know I ask this a lot but any way you could work them into my team with Bale? It wont be easy
P.S this weekend I used Naldo in CDM and he was very good (shit on the ball). So I was thinking I could easily use Luiz in CDM as he has 75 stamina, Naldo has 72 and I coped OK.
absolutely shit game It's funny you never see this errors in the pro matches, i'm convinced they do something with the online servers that causes these freak things to happen more regularly.
The scripting has ALWAYS been noticeable. I used to love Fifa but it's not a fair contest in many matches.

There’s plenty of errors in the pro matches. There was a few live on Sky Sports when they had the ePL last weekend. It’s nothing to do with scripting, it’s just that the game is shit
Fair enough. Can't say I've watched any but I haven't seen anything major reported. You're right it's just shit.
What a shame as Fifa used to be THE game.
Won the draft for the first time every last night after playing and stealing idea's from the players on here. Scored 12 conceded 1 with a flat 343. First time in my Fifa history. Getting to grips with the new patch finally but still doing some awfully stupid stuff.
Well doneWho stood out for you?
95 Cruyff, scored 10 of the 12 goals, all first timers from outside the box bar one. He's lethal off either foot.
Still not tried him yet, although I don't play a lot of drafts
Get all 14 FUT Swap cards this month and you get a base icon. Not too shabby that! 12 gets you team of the tournament Griezmann.
Can someone put in the ways of getting all available futswap players from now to the end as we go along?
Base icon looks handy, but douglas costa looks great too

Good idea. At the minute there’s the one you get given and a live FUT Swaps SBC.
75 finishing though. I know you can boost it with a chem style but still.
I think I’ll get Pepe and Werner for 8 futswaps. Great SBC fodder and I won’t have to worry about sweating it out and getting all 14.
Since the rewards are so good I can see the challenges being a pain in the ass.
Honestly were you to use 14 tokens for IF Robertson (174k), IF Pepe(51.5k) and IF Werner (147k), thats 3 informs for Icon SBC with value of 360k coins on PS. You can get most base icons at least 20k cheaper than that. You'd have to get really lucky and pack R9, Maradona, Pele or someone to make that pay off. Big risk imho.
I’ve just redeemed enough points for my first weekend league next weekend. My team is currently this
Schmeichel (danish poty)
Walker-Kompany(fb)-Rudiger(birthday)-Van Aanholt(futmas)
Herrera-Keane-Pogba-Foden(future)
Luis Hernandez(mid icon)-Rashford(potm)
On the bench I’ve got Falcao(Europa League), Lucas (potm), Sancho (potm).
Can anyone recommend any upgrades? I spent pretty much all my coins on the mid icon Luis Hernandez. Also anyone got any tactics I could use? I’m not a great player at all and kind of bricking getting hammered every game.
Edit: I’ve only got around 50k coins

The PSG man is your weak link. I'd recommend Kante but you don't have enough coins, so I'm gonna have to go with Nainggolan instead. Link him with Kompany and Keane.
Really? So you reckon sell Pogba and buy Naiggolan?
@nooshka I bought 5 base icons yesterday, the day before EA included a base icon reward in FutSwap...Don't trust me. I certainly don't.
@Macern you still using 4231 I need some custom tactics for it as I've not used it this year, but seems everyone is saying it's OP so I'm going to try it out
I always go back to it as 41212 is fine against average players but need 4231 against the better players.
I play Drop back, 4 & 5 on width depth. Attacking I do use long ball, it seems to work for me. The players should automatically look to go into space but if they mark that I can easily tap R1 and they come short. Spam the RAM and LAM and move inside from there. Creates so much space
If anyone is online and notices there are new fut swap items available, just Copy this and add to it

Yeah now they've changed the divisions I'm struggling with 41212 so looking to change it up. I'll give your tactics a go for now, but I've never used drop back before so I reckon I'll struggle.
@Emmet first game the guy quit after 44 mins 3-0 down don't think I'd won in 4 or 5 before that either
don't think I'd won in 4 or 5 before that eitherUnfortunately not
. Haven’t used it in a while and didn’t find any good custom tactics for it. If I were you I’d look it up on youtube, try to find a pro or at least an elite level player who has a ‘guide’ to that formation. They usually have tactics nailed down if they post a video about it. Has to be posted after the lates patch obviously. A general tip that I’ve found to be working really well is to have strikers on come back in defense. Regardless of how you press, having them on come back will provide you with extra numbers in midfield when the opponent is building up their attack. They’ll still be high up when you lose the ball, but as your opponent progresses further up the pitch the strikers will come back which results in you overloading the midfield. I discovered it last weekend when I lost against a guy who played 442 with strikers on come back. Couldn’t believe he played 442, because I switched to 41212 narrow and he still outnumbered me in the midfield when I had the ball.
@P-Nut
While im 1/10th of the player Macern is I set everyone to comeback on defence too. I play 4231 in game or 41212 when chasing a goal.
Watched a great video recently from a pro who uses 4 tactics now. 4231, 4222, 442 and 41212 dependent on situation. If I can find it on Youtube I'll throw it up here (hard to find anything with all those Ovvy and Krasi video's all over the place.)
The big mistake I was making was playing drop back with low depth like people say to play 4231 with 1 depth and 4 width, I find it much better with 4 depth 5 width. 4 players in the box and everything else default.
- Edit found it.
I use his 4231 and 41212 exactly as he sets them up. Can't play 4222 at all.
Whats interesting about this is that it suits my style. I used to always put strikers on get in behind but after watching this I stopped and now my front 4 are always in position for first timed long shots.

I very rarely lose when I play 4231. I set fullbacks to come back, strikers get in behind and CAM stay forward. How I play is get it to the RAM or LAM and create space for the CAM/ST then I have options everywhere.
I abuse the L1 to make winger run or R1 come short. Try asking him to come short and then make him run, absolute does people in that does

I've gone to shit again, getting absolutely battered first half
going to have to try one of the ones aboveI've gone to shit again, getting absolutely battered first half
Ahhh relax, Play 5 games or so with a tactic before losing the plot
Anyone able to recommend a good cheap 5* skiller with decent crossing. Just for a sub so probably under 100k.
Quaresma? His IF has 96 crossing.
