2 weeks ago I was dominating WL match 2-0 then for some reason my right back and 2 centre backs decided to play right back for no reason, and the passing shit that winds me up, I lost that match BTW, today I dominated matches where if I was dominated that much I'd be down by 4 but I would only struggle to be 2 up and knowing any shot from them would be a goal

Currently 9-1, not looking forward to the next 10
This went well... ended up at 11-7
Thankfully recovered now to 15-7, this game
No don’t make her feel guilty about it
Back in january - march I was struggling a lot with FIFA, some weekends I couldn’t even make Elite 3 which was very frustrating since I knew I should have done a lot better than Gold 1. I was trying out a lot of different formations/tactics and nothing seemed to work. When my girlfriend was visiting me she had to endure me getting frustrated with the game a lot and she now hates it. She tried to make me stop playing the game as she felt it only made me angry. After discovering the 4411 I’ve improved massively and haven’t been angry at all after a game in over two months, even when I’ve lost. I’m moving in with her soon so hopefully I can change her mind about me playing it.
16-4, dreading the last 10. Hoping for at least 5 wins out of the 10, but this is when I tend to drop.
The sweaty folk come out to play on Sunday.
I like to pride myself on my defending, but I’ve really struggled defending skillers using the croqueta skill/pull back move.
Not even sure how you do them.

Hold L1, nudge the right analogue stick the way you’re running, then nudge it the way you want to go, all in a quick motion.
Edit: thats the wrong one, thats the one where they’re running down the wing and turn they’re back on you and flick up the ball to cross or shoot.
The one you want is still holding L1, slow your sprint to a jog and hold up (or down) on the right analogue stick depending which way you want to shift the ball. If you’re running from left to right, then holding L1 and nudging up on the right stick will do it. You kind of have to wait for it to happen, like you’re anticipating something so you do it a second in advance. Its not like swirling the stick gets them doing all sorts, you have to hold the stick up a split second longer. Practice in squad battles. Its fun and effective when you get used to it.
The new one i learnt last night was fake shotting a cross whilst holding L1 does that weird sprinting and shielding/dummying a cross manoeuvre.

I’ll give them a go.
Just came back from 4-1 down. Made it 4-3 in 86th minute. Guy goes for time wasting tactics by running it with defenders then passing it around the back. Anticipated he’d pass it to goalkeeper so made an early run back there, keeper made heavy touch, he panick passed, for my Son to lob him from 30 yards. 4-4.
Then beat him with a 116th minute counter.
He then rage quits.
Love it.
The last fortnight or so people have been using a ridiculous rabona like flick and turn on the wing before crossing and score all the time. It looks ridiculous and is an annoying glitch. Started the weekend league 5-0 thrilled. I've 8 left now and only 7 wins total. It screwed me this weekend
The tornado cross? People have been abusing that for ages
It's El Tornado flick and than a lobbed cross to the back post. Best way I've found to defend it and it takes practice is as soon as they start initiating the spin move your keeper towards the back post 6 yard box line. Kind of half way between the centre of the goal and back post on that line. If he's tall he'll punch it away or claim it. Outside of that tall strong fullbacks. You can't defend it with guys like Robertson or Tagliafico etc.. You need 6fti fullbacks, I use Telles and TAA who are both 5'11 and they are decent but CR7 still dominates them. Lots of pro's play Sergio Ramos at RB for just that reason. The biggest improvement in my game this season came from ditching everyone under 6ft except at central cam.
Thanks I'll try that. I has cost me so many goals. That and my weekend team are just slow and ponderous. I am almost used to that as frustrating as it is. Must upgrade Robertson as it is always from the left wing to his side that catches me. Walker is good on the other
I’m only in 9 wins myself, thinking of packing it in for good, I can’t fecking compete with these teams, what’s the point in playing a game in which you’re at a massive disadvantage every game you play. Pointless.
Finished Gold 1. Such a slog. I can pinpoint the games where I think I could have won, but I still don’t think I can reastically win them consistently get to Elite.
I feel your pain, I do the same every week. The problem is if you win those tight games, you get put against even better players afterwards so you get a thumping
Finished on 20 wins. Had 3 games left so thought might try for elite... got matched against a literal god squad with PIM Ronaldo, Pele, PIM Gullit, PIM Vieira. Spammed the feck out of el tornados etc and I knew at that moment, I'd never get elite
Did the guaranteed Turkish TOTS SBC, packed 80 rated Ulreich EA...

That’s the thing. Won 4 in a row and I thought - shit I’m heading towards Elite at this rate.
Nope. Get drawn against Icons Eleven +/- Mix of TOTS Hazard/Mane/Aguero hybrid who knows every single way to score a goal.
Don’t play the game enough to beat these guys, neither do I bother trying to learn how to do the skills they do so I guess I can’t complain much.

yeah i got some 76 rated Gold player from the Portuguese league. Surely we are going to get the pack at some point
Finished Gold 1. I have an average squad though, since i started playing quite late. Elite 3 could be possible in a few weeks with some pack luck. 20 wins from 30 games isnt bad when 28 of my opponents have by far better teams.
Yeah in a game like Fifa Walker will always be better than Robertson. Robertson is not the smallest but being 5'10 with only 72 jumping is a huge problem (thats his Tots). Any other Robertson would be a disaster.
Walker is 6' and has 85 jumping on his worst card or something. You need 80+ jumping so when you stick an anchor on them it gets to 90+. Anything else vs Gullit or Ronaldo etc.. and you're going to get murdered.
Sidenote: I wouldn't take my advice as gold or anything. I've literally broken a monitor over the rotten game this weekend.
Your advice is right though. Full backs are essential in defending crosses, so height and jumping should definitely be considered. I'm currently running tots Rossoulin and Doherty there, they are class
Left it at gold 2 last night. My Mrs brother played my first six games and won 2 out of 6. I managed to win 15 out of 17 so ended 17 out of 23. Could have easily got gold 1 yet again but it was late and the difference isn't enough.
It didn’t go well. Lost a few games due to some of the worst scripting I’ve seen so didn’t finish

Ah makes sense, been meaning to ask you actually what do you have your controller settings on?
Been trying out your lobbed crosses, but they never seem to go to the back post, even with full power. Wondering if they should be on auto, semi or manual.
I have crosses on semi. LB + a lot of power should make them go towards the back post almost every time. When you’re running down the wing, try to do a fake shot and take a touch slightly backwards so you’re facing a bit deeper in the pitch than the edge of the box. I’ve found that to be perhaps the best angle though there are a lot of different angles that work very well.
@P-Nut this is a good example, though the target man is usually marked. Still, if he’s in a good position and is good in the air he should win most headers.
I must save up to replace Robertson. I might go with Alonso and see. The keeper trick is working but I have messed it up a few times. I put that down to trial and error. Thanks for the small bit of help
Its late and i should have gone to bed by now but just played a game against the biggest cnut i have played all year. We are talking 75% of the ball, was clearly miles better than me, 3-0 up inside 20 minutes and i couldnt get out of my half.
No let up, run up a 5-0 lead then just passed it around the back for the rest of the game.
Tried to send him a message after the game to see what his skill rating is and WL rank is, and obviously he doesnt take messages from strangers (presumably because he gets a lot of rage messages from people he does this tactics to)

Finished Elite 3. I couldn't play every game though so thankfully the person stepping in clutched up for me. I was 19-4 and he got me to 23 and stopped.
Since last week I have packed Kampl in the bundes SBC, 2 GKs in the weekend league picks, the lowest rating in the superlig SBC.... surely I get a decent pull from La Liga SBC, weekend league picks and TOTW pack????

Rocking a Serie A team all year and the one weekend league I can’t do as Iam away in Portugal for Nations League is the guaranteed Serie A TOTS picks ffs!
ffs!Rocking a Serie A team all year and the one weekend league I can’t do as Iam away in Portugal for Nations League is the guaranteed Serie A TOTS picks
I missed PL and Bundesliga so I'm constantly playing against teams with loads of TOTS and I've got none
Need an opinion from you guys. On every TOTS SBC I have packed whichever right back was available - no exaggeration. Done La Liga tonight - Navas. Got my Turkish tots pack from the farce on Sunday....Mariano.
Now, in Fifa 18, the same thing happened but it was left backs. I know it’s meant to be random but the odds of this happening are so ridiculously remote - you’re talking 0.02% or less. Question is, is there an issue? Anyone else had a similar experience?

Me with GKs, apart from the Saudi league I've only packed keepers
The odds of that happening are ridiculous
I've got a nice mix but all shite apart from my prem pack in fairness. Think I got Eriksen (CM), Halstenberg (LB), Jesus Navas (RB) from the 3 major leagues. From the minor leagues I got an 84 gk from Saudi, and 87 gk from Turkey and an 88 LW from Liga Nos.
I've hit tradable Trent (league SBC's), tradable Alba (Vieira 89 rated squad). Other than that I've hit untradable Ederson, Bernardo and Maddison from upgrades.
So I'd say a nice mix overall for me.

I’m paying for an awesome start when i packed Lacazette in the Prem guarenteed SBC and then untradeable Robertson in the 81+ player pick second time of trying.
Since then i got Sommer in the german sbc, Trapp in my WL picks, the turkish keeper tonight and the goalie in the arabian league. Would have taken the La Liga goalie in that SBC but ohh no they give me fecking Banega, the second worst La Liga TOTS going.

I'm not doing those league SBCs until the Ligue 1 one comes out
