Gaming FIFA 19

Quaresma? His IF has 96 crossing.

Cheers he looks very good with a hawk or hunter.
Think its between him and scream Shaqiri so far. CL MotM Di Maria looks ok with a catalyst but only 2* weak foot.
 
@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.


Can't recommend this enough, the 4231 is extremely solid defensive wise and you can create enough opportunities going the other way.
 
I have baby Stoichkov… His finishing is great but overall I don't think I want him anymore. What are my options to get rid? I don't have a lot of coins but could someone tell me how to use him in a way to upgrade or whatever?

He is untradeable obviously

I think the only decent option you have is to trade him in as the required icon in the prime icon SBCs. You’ll get a 100k pack for him and doing the rest of that icon SBC will be a lot cheaper.

Don't even have enough to do that, most icons are about 1 mil. Wouldn't mind Kluivert though, he looks alright.

Kluivert costs 1.1m, submitting Stoichkov brings the price down by 335k. You can probably get him if you grind for a month or two. Baby Stoichkov doesn’t look very good so I’d submit him just for the 100k pack. Who knows, you might get lucky.

He has actually been ok for me, but again.. versus the better players he just isn't up to speed. He gets bullied. I wont slate him too much he served me well ha!I cant get rid of him yet as I cant replace him just yet

Wingers are easy to come by, so think it would be best getting a ST icon if possible. I seen someone on here submit their baby icon the other day and the packed a load of crap.
 
May as well wait until you've got the coins to do an SBC, few weeks of saving should get you a decent one.
 
Im in the same boat with Vieri, gonna take me ages to save up to do another icon sbc. I have Ibra, prime owen, and Untradeable middle Gullit, so its impossible to play him upfront and CAM he’s just useless.

I wish I was in your position :lol: Cant afford the best strikers on the market but would accept any of those.

Did you get Gullit in the mid icon SBC?

Mate i had quit fifa, spunked my remaining 400k i made from selling all my players on rare players packs, got no one, deleted the game. Then my mate in a whatsapp group message said he was gonna do the mid icon sbc and got puyol, so i thought feck it ill do it on webapp with all the players I accumulated and i got one of the best players you can buy :lol: so it reeled me back in. My whole team is untradeable apart from about 200k i managed to scrape by selling all of my non rare golds and silvers.

Haha EA caught you by the bullocks giving you Gullit. Reeled back in like a big salmon! I could do the mid icon upgrade if I sold most of my players but I would flip if I got a GK or something

He’s so good aswell, he’s elevated my game so much by the ball just sticking to him and him winning everything in the air. My last two games he scored injury time winners and he’s on a goal a game, granted I’ve only played about ten games with him, but that’s at CAM too.

Not sure how much coins you have but if Willian SBC is still available... do it. He has over a goal a game with me playing LAM. Every game in FUT champs. Would fit nicely with your Gullit in the middle.

Congrats! :D But damn, seems like they’ve changed it back to the way it was in previous fifas where a lot of people were in div 1, instead of the normal distribution that it has been so far where the majority would be in div 5. Back when I got promoted to div 1 in october I think the requirement was around 2400 in skill rating. Lovely to see that you’re improving though, makes me happy that our league seems to be helping you!
 
After dicking about with pretty much every tactic and formation since xmas I think I’ve finally stumbled upon something that works consistently very well for me. I’m back to the formation I played in the first month or so in FIFA 19 which is 4-4-1-1 with a CF and a ST.

In all my ‘great’ tactic/formation combos a key element has been pressing high and ‘choking’ the opponent so most of the action is in his half. I’m managing to do that in pretty much every game in rivals, and I’ve played 13 games after switching so it works consistently too.

If anyone is keen on trying I’ve got the perfect tactics for it. An interesting element is that I’m playing my striker as a false 9 and my CF is instructed to get in behind. So they basically keep switching positions which makes them very dynamic. You’d think that a LM/RM won’t be involved very much due to being too deep, but that isn’t the case. In fact I like their offensive positioning better than LCAM and RCAM in 4231. It makes no sense that 4411 is the best formation for me, and I don’t really understand how I’m able to completely dominate almost every game with this formation and not other formations. But it works and that’s all I care about :angel:
 
The market is horrific with people over-listing high tier players on PS4 atm.

Annoyed that I'll have to wait a bit before buying a team back.
 
What did you all get in rewards? Gonna open mine soon

EDIT - Why do I bother playing this crap... James Forest and Hubner in player picks. From my 3 big packs I packed LaPorte and Parolo ffs

Who are your CMs? Think they need to be brilliant all rounders for this to work

I played him in the PS4 league, and it definitely works. His CF and ST both ended up dropping into midfield, making a 4-6-0 in defence that transitioned into a 4-2-4 in attack. Almost impossible to get through the middle, and going wide leaves your wingers isolated and you end up having to pass backwards again or try risky passes

Lewandowski and Busquets :D sadly it’s the second or third best thursday rewards I’ve had in fifa 19. I guess that time when I got red IF Robertson beats it.

Yup, they are very important. I’ve got Flashback De Rossi and RTTF Florenzi.

Liked Florenzi when I used him in draft, hes rapid and very strong!

changed my team up after selling Mbappe to accommodate Bale. If I get to finish my weekend league games this coming weekend im pretty confident (only weak link is stoichkov)

-------------Courtois------------
Carvajal Ramos D.Luiz (FB) Sandro
--------Pogba(90) Kante-----------
Perisic (88) Willian(88)---Stoichkov
---------------Bale-------------------

Could easily move the front 4 around if I don't fancy that setup

Very well rounded team that. I recently bought Bale to have as a super sub and he has impressed me so far.

I think hes unreal, hes an absolute unit when people come near him! I prefer him from the right but I don't really fancy any of the others as main Striker. If I could swap Stoichkov for a decent icon ST I would be sorted
 
@padr81 how have you got a score of 18548 in the attacking situations skill game??? That’s unreal. Must have been from when timed finesse shots were OP. I’ll never beat that score :(

My word. As soon as I posted that I hit 17873. ONE GOAL AWAY!!! I’ve done that skill game a thousand times, this time I beat my previous score by around 4000 what the hell.
 
Packs are so fecking shit this year. I think they’ve lowered the odds of getting anyone decent because you can open more packs with Rivals.

Every week I finish Gold 1 and I get nobody. In the past 10 weeks I’ve opened 20 of those rare jumbo packs, that’s 480 rare gold players in 2 million coins worth of packs. I don’t think I’ve gotten a player worth more than 30k.

Hear Hear! Absolute pants they are
 
I’ve opened ∞ packs and the Lewandowski I packed today is the second most expensive tradable player I’ve packed (and I always pick tradable rewards). Yesterday I saw a guy on Reddit comment that he has packed TOTY Marcelo, TOTY Neymar, another TOTY player I can’t remember who was and prime or mid Raul. And he didn’t buy any of the packs he got them from. Pisses me off how some people are so lucky and others are the exact opposite. I get that it can be random at times, but it’s clear to everyone and their dog that EA manipulate the odds so that they’re different for different accounts.

Give me a 125k pack and I won’t even be a little excited because I know the chances of me packing someone worth 100k or more is approximately -9999999999999999 • 10^∞ %
 
Tell me this, is the mid icon upgrade over? Cant seem to find it

Too true. And anytime I think I’m getting somebody is turns out to be some nobody Brazilian/Spanish CB/GK. I barely ever pack attacking players worth anything. People need to start realizing the actual odds of these packs, in all reality 90% of the time you will pack absolute garbage regardless of what it when you open.

The worst thing for me is how often you seem to pack the same players. I must have packed Viviano/Savic/Tah about 100 times over.
 
Its super sweaty. I just wanna get relegated so I can have fun again. :lol:

This is my gripe with it. Games aren't enjoyable the more I win. I get Messi and Ronaldo'd every time I get into the top divisions and getting relegated means losing a load of games which will piss me off.

My record was something like 52 - 3 - 2 before I got into Division 1.
