Gaming FIFA 19

Finished on 21 with 1 to spare. My game for the 22nd win which knocked me out for elite was just jokes. I lead every time and it ended 4-4 in normal time and 6-6 AET and he won on penalties. I never moan about ea bs because I believe it usually balances out.... it did not balance this weekend.

All things considered Im happy with my finish (I was fuming last night)

Well done @Eddy_JukeZ on the 30-0. Out of curiosity where do you play Havertz in that team?
 
If my rewards are garbage, I may be using another guys team this weekend (If rewards are worth playing for)

This is his team

---------------------Mid VDS------------------
TOTS Cancelo - PIM Maldini - POTY VVD - FB Sandro

--------------Vieira--------Gullit------------------

TOTS Havertz---TOTS Ronaldo-----TOTS Mbappe

-------------------Ronaldo 96--------------------------


If I cant hit 25+ with that im doing something wrong :lol:
 
Unlucky mate.

I would be surprised if EA went back to TOTW for rewards after this WL, so you can rebound next week. They might keep doing TOTS rewards or another promo for rewards.

Yeah I'm pretty much done now, barring some great rewards. Hopefully pull something useable on Thursday or in the SBC tonight.

How do you actually lose with a team like that if you’re even half decent? Genuine question. This is what I really don’t understand about all of these pro players, they all boast these ridiculous teams.

I beat teams like that on a regular basis. Sure it helps to have a good squad, but if you don't know how to press and move the ball about like the pros you'll still get beat.

But you still probably have a team that comes somewhat close? I have one 90 rated player in my team, that’s it. The rest are late 80’s. My pack luck is absolute dross no matter how much I go for the rivals/WL rewards. To complete with teams like the above on a regular basis I feel you’ve got to be both good at the game and have 90+ players all over the pitch.

Yeah I have a good team now, but I've finished at 20 wins pretty much every week since the game was released and I didn't always have a good side whilst others did.

This isn't my team btw. I have a good team but no where near this good. I agree with P-Nut, it doesn't matter how good your team is.. if you aren't great at the game these super players wont carry you. I beat top tier teams with people not so good controlling them quite a lot during weekend league

EDIT - Im in a chat with plenty of lads who have super teams, the best you can get and they maybe get 17-20 wins per weekend. That is there limit. One of the guys was using a relatively average team but had millions to spend.... spent his millions and built a super team but finished the same place he does every week during weekend league
 
Packed Bernardo Silva from the TOTS SBC. A disappointing end to a terrible promo and I'll see you all next year for FIFA 20.

The F1 game and Mario Maker are out friday and i suspect both will dominate my playtime for the next few months
 
Packed oblack from mine....I have no use for him whatsoever. My 2 final teams are built and he doesn’t fit in either EA have fecked me over all year so I’ve no idea why I expected any different from this. Might just chuck him in the Martinez sbc.

Going back to crash team racing though mainly.
 
Quagirella no better than the 94 RVP I put in to get him
 
I packed Suarez and I only spent 30k on the SBC as I had enough untradeables :nervous:

Quite happy with that, he'll replace FB Ibra in the starting XI
 
Just watched nepenthez video and he packed 99 Messi from his. Remember this is the same guy that’s packed Ronaldo from a 3 player pack, another 99 Messi, a prime icon gullit, a prime icon bergkamp too.

Many people say that EA manipulate youtubers packs with better pulls, I’ve always thought they wouldn’t do that but surely nobody can be that lucky.
 
Decided if my rewards are terrible on Thursday I'm going to build an anti football side.

Going to go 532 with Fernandinho, Vieira and Van Dijk in midfield

Doesn't Youtubers open a hell of a lot more packs than the average FIFA player though?
 
Meh, got Sarabia. I knew i shouldnt have done it. Oblak, Alisson, Sarabia are the ones to avoid. Hoped for someone decent. I would even have taken Bernardo or Quagliarella
 
Yeah but point still stands? It's packs at the end of the day.


He doesn’t open anymore or less than everyone else They can only open 1 guaranteed tots pack like the rest of us, not sure why you don’t seem to get that. One guaranteed tots pack per account.

Yeah but someone has to catch a break eventually? Anyway, needless discussion is needless.

He does, but I watch Nep stream a lot, have chatted with him a little bit (he's quite a sound guy) and he's opened a stupid amount of packs. He's done every league SBC at least 20 times easily (10 hour per day for a couple of months), he's opened at least 20k bronze packs alone and done almost every SBC he deems value for coins (that's just on his road to glory account), he's spent well over 10k this year on his pay to win (which he never plays on) account where he's packed the two 99 Messi's. People see the video's and think "ah he's hit this etc..."

His pack luck this year has been pretty average considering the amount of packs he opens. All his other guaranteed SBC's have been pretty trash, that Messi being the only time he's hit a massive card from a guaranteed tots, all his other pulls were from grinding the shit out (of or paying stupid amounts of real money for) packs.

I think it would be fair to say Nep has opened over 20k packs this year not including the 20k or so bronze packs on both his accounts.
What people don't see is the 10 hours a day he's doing boring shit that don't make the video's.

He's actually got a regular viewer whose spent nothing on the game, spent not a cent, never gets above gold 3 rarely plays rivals and packed 99 Ronnie from Serie A, 99 Messi from La Liga and got red 97 Griezmann as a champs reward.

He's recently started opening viewer rewards saying its because he wants to see them get good pulls etc.. but the reality is he's doing it because he's sick of grinding the menu and opening packs just to get material for a video. And he can get the same content without spending his time, others are doing the work for him.

Using myself as an example, I open approx 160 packs a week from grinding the league SBC's according to my spreadsheet plus 140k worth of bronze packs and the entire upgrade run. And I do about an hour per evening.
Nepenthez does 10 times that... so we could say 1600 packs a week that contain gold players.

Back on topic I got the worst player from the Ultimate TotS - Suso or whoever the 94 spanish guy who sells for less than 100k, considering I put in Veratti and two other tots I got screwed.
 
Another Thursday, another disappointing set of rewards. Packed Allison in the guaranteed SBC (who didn’t!?) so of course he appeared in my red picks. Went with Robertson and Sarabia who I have absolutely zero use for.

That’s me done - zero desire to play it any longer.
 
Sancho and Alisson from picks. The choices were awful, I had to take Alisson. Sancho is a fun player for sure but wont get in my team. Super sub from ultimate TOTS
 
Same as trash for me. Got Sarabia and Bernardo who I already have from my 1st pick, got a choice of Alisson, Oblak and Quagliarela for my 2nd pick. So I took Quagliarela. Dunno what I'll do with a second Bernardo.
 
Just used Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time, his 96 rated card. Insane. Won 7-6 in a draft and he scored them all. Pretty sure it was from 7 shots as well.
 
Got a code box on discount for 15€ a couple a days and bought this

Last time I played a football SIM was PES 2010 (I don't play a FIFA title since FIFA 2002 and the only game I still follow is FM)

Will you guys mind If I place some ultra-noob derp questions about the game?

Should I play with the AI for a few weeks to get into the game before going for online games, or should I go just for online modes?

Thanks
 
Got Mbappe TOTS in Gold 1 rewards :eek:

Too bad I'm going travelling for 5 weeks so won't get to use him really until FIFA 19 dies out.

Wouldn't waste your time playing AI modes at this stage. Just get stuck into online and you will learn more. Prepare to lose a few but pick up what others are doing that works well

Thanks for the reply. The game has a lot of new stuff to explore and it sounds fun. The movements of the players are far from the best.

I'm going to explore this thread to check tactical advices and other useful stuff.

The tactics/strategies menu is far from being good one. Yes, it's user friendly, but it takes ages to configure all the players instructions and changing a player position manually is a challenge when the area is packed.
 
Can you not check on the leaderboard of fut champs?

Im sitting in work and no way to check. Im using someone elses team this weekend @P-Nut... the team is insane. I will probably do no better but worth a crack!
