Looks fantastic. Assuming you’re playing with the tactics I posted you should switch Gullit and CR7. The striker plays as a false 9 so he’s the one playing more or less like a CAM in game, while the CF pushes up in the striker position. The idea behind this is to make the attack a bit more dynamic/fluid where the two will interchange a bit. Though in game it’ll feel like the CF is actually the striker and the ST on false 9 will often drop deep helping with the link up play and push quite far up when you get into the final third.

I know it does! But i know I didn’t.Looks like you held R1/RB
Wouldn’t surprise me, it’s FIFA after all, the worst coded game in the history of the gaming industry.
I checked the instructions for the 4411 guide and I forgot to add one, the CF on stay in attack which is very important and will make sure that he plays as a striker. Updated the post.
I have to do the dutch objective tonight so going to try get myself
I have to do the dutch objective tonight so going to try get myself Crespo and get loan gullit and give this a go. I cant see this working for me at all personally but willing to try for a laugh. I cant cross and i'll get frustrated when I waste chances
Hoping im very wrong as it would be nice to have a variety in my gameplay as I usually try walk the ball in to the net
EDIT - No I wont get Gullit, need an 84 rated team for his loan. I will work something else out to test it later

Not sure if it’s of interest to anyone, but I uploaded a game using my 4411 strategy. It was a very difficult game against a good opponent. I didn’t get to any good crossing opportunities, but two of the goals I scored were almost identical to the illustrations I made in the tactics guide. @Emmet this game is also a good example of the strategy working without crossing as all my crosses failed but I still dominated and created chances.
@Macern a twitter user called Trey says thanks, your tactics work a treat.
I only did because Trey wanted me to thank him. I suck so bad at FIFA so not bought it for the past few years.never knew you checked this thread
Lazy wanker. He should sign up, get promoted through the newbies and thank him himself.
Nice to hear!Switched to 433(4) and its been a great laugh so far. Had a few beers now so i am playing sloppy, but until then its been a breeze every game.
Need a new LW, CB and GK but I am hoping TOTS drops some monsters, otherwise I am eyeing up Prime moments Lehmann, Prime Overmars and either Prime Nesta or Hierro.
All depends on my pack luck the next few weeks now, i'm only going to have about 200k in actual coins before rewards

I assume everyone has done the Perfectionist objective this week? If not you have til Friday night 11.59pm , but it’s worth doing with TOTS coming up. You get a jumbo rare players pack for it and it requires you to complete all the weekly objectives.
The 3 spurs/ 3 ajax/ 3 rare UCL players can be done by challenge your mate to a seasons game and playing 4 games, quitting after your mate has scored for him to register the win etc. Besiktas/Galatasary one is again easy, as is UTD player three assists (challenged TOTW amateur to a game). For doing the ajax/spurs and besiktas/galatasary objectives you get a rare gold pack and a premium gold players pack.
Buy Dabbur MOTM card for under 18k and score 5 squad battle goals. That gives you a mega pack. Then the player swap objectives again i assume most of you have done for the base icon pack again.

Yeh, I’ve been fortunate in that last month it was Italian when i had Vieri, and this month its dutch when i have Gullit, although the columbian one was kind of tricky. Rewards are good again, even if you get IF Cancelo and IF James Rodriguez to put towards icon SBC’s. Im undecided, ill probably go for the icon but even birthday Walker tempts me, even Suarez. Ive been desperate for a proper striker for a few weeks now.
So glad I'm on holiday for 2 weeks this month, nice to just have a bit of a break from the grind.
For anyone that plays FIFA until the new one, what actually happens over the summer when the season has finished, do all promos etc just end?
Well last season i think they just released loads of incredible cards in easy to do SBCs, like TOTS cards etc. Last summer they did the World Cup mode which totally fecked the market aswell, so not sure if they will do something similar.
I did the dutch objective last night, subbing on Elia and Babel . Have all 4 current Futswap items available. Will try do the other objectives tonight with people helping me. Squad battles has another Futswap item.
@Macern I bought Crespo and tried your tactics a bit last night. Not for me im afraid. Crespo was an absolute donkey. He just wont work for me Ronaldo will be main ST. I need pace and dribbling around that. I was winning the games but Crespo was just a hinderance and I couldn't hit one cross.
Got myself Seedorf 91 last night instead then, so will try this weekend with 41212.
UT rewards. Kept my rivals for tomorrow night. Weekend league, I had 3 picks and a TOTW pack. Brandt and 2 other useless players from red picks. An 83 and 2x 81 from TOTW pack..... USELESS

Go on futbin and look at Fifa 18 players, there's so many cards that are unbelievable stats wise, I had a look last month.
Has anyone done Vela or Mena SBC? Should I do them?
Yeah he’s a donkey with amazing shooting, a bit like real life Inzaghi back in the day. Definitely not for everyone. His stats lie, he’s absolutely terrible on the ball. I still love him thoughI did the dutch objective last night, subbing on Elia and Babel

Yup he is so clunky and stupid. I cant be dealing with that
If I could put images in, I would put my team in for the upcoming weekend but im a dinosaur and cant

I’m curious, you can just type out the XITook untradeables for tier one division rivals and in my two player picks I done well to get 88 Kimmich and 85 Mina. I cannot believe though how shit Kimmich’s stats are, they are woeful for an 88. I got excited thinking 89 pace and 88 defending etc but ooohh no literally he’s no better than an 82/83. None of his stats on the card reach anywhere near 88 either, but they’ll be good for squad builders at least.
---------------------De Gea--------------------
Valencia (88)--VVD (95)---D.Luiz(89)--Sandro (86)
-------------------Vieira (91)-------------------
----------Pogba (90)----------Seedorf (91)--------
---------------------Willian (88)--------------------
------------Mbappe (90)---CR7 (94)---------------
To me that looks brilliant on paper. Hopefully willian can do the business in CAM. He has been in my team since I got him, but out wide
Done both, can't seem to get to grips with either of them, but their stats suggest they should be great.
Don't think ill bother then. I already have a couple of decent subs and they certainly wont get in my first team.
Yeah I use both off of the bench, even if I can't get the right chemistry style, they will just go in SBCs and they are cheap value for their ratings anyway.
Yeah that's a fair point. How much from scratch for both you reckon?
No idea, it's only 83 rated squads with 1 totw. 2 of them for Vela and 1 for Mena
Well I was very silly this morning. Packed 3 useless in forms from TOTW pack from weekend league and rage sold them for 12k each. I was fuming. Convinced myself I was getting Hazard

Haha yeah think the lowest IFs are 15k at the moment.
Could have put all 3 into them SBCs
Does look brilliant, if it doesn’t work out it’s shouldn’t be due to the players.
I’m not sure I’d play Sandro though. He’s amazing on the ball and when you’re in manual control of him, but beware of very poor AI positioning from him. At least for me he had a tendency to cut inside into a sort of left CDM position at times, leaving a lot of space on his side. I noticed a huge improvement in defence when I switched from him to base Maldini. It could be just for me though, I’ve never seen anyone else complain about his positioning before. But then again I don’t think most people analyze the goals they concede which you’d have to do to spot that kind of stuff. Maybe having his interceptions on conservatice could sort him out.
I bought Sandro when I came back to play Fifa, the base version. I wont upgrade or swap him, I think hes incredible. Not the worst at going forward either. He just works well for me
Nice. Some cards perform different for people. I remember back in sept/oct I had Kimpembe for a while and he was rubbish for me. My friend went on and on about how good he was which I didn’t understand at all. Played a few games on his account and he was immense. Moral of the story: Never listen to the opinion of a player based on an opinion from just one person. For instance Marshall89 who does player reviews on Youtube slaughtered Flashback Doumbia. I did his SBC anyway as the stats looked incredible, and I always sub him on at 60 mins. He’s just as good if not better than Crespo for me.
I used to play pro clubs with Marshall so would look at his reviews now and then as I would value his opinion... until recently a few I didn't agree with. It all boils down to the person tbh. I played a certain way and I don't think I can ever change it
We are creatures of habit, and I do the same thing over and over and trying to force anything else just doesn't come as easilyHaha that’s cool. What I hate about his reviews is that he lets the price of a player affect his opinion on their performance. His main issue with Doumbia was his price, and it was clear that he let it affect his views on his abilities. After that I more or less stopped watching his reviews.I used to play pro clubs with Marshall so would look at his reviews now and then as I would value his opinion... until recently a few I didn't agree with.

I know Barzagli would be a beast and he gave him a rotten review. Barzagli would be my type of defender so again it comes back to personal preference. I like big bulky centre backs to be aggressive. Nepenthez put a tweet out slating Barzagli and Marshall followed that up with a crap rating. He just wasn't going to say he was good after someone he speaks to said he was bad value was he?
No, definitely not and that’s the problem. Wish he made reviews without any price bias and let people decide for themselves if the card is worth it or not instead of letting prices being an underlying factor in the entire review. Maybe I should start my own youtube channel making unbiased reviews which the FIFA community clearly lacks
Premier League Team of the Season tomorrow.
How long will they be in packs for?
