Each win gets you 65 points for WL qualification, but wins also boost your division points (for rewards) and skill rating (for promotion/relegation). Assuming your skill points are high enough at the end of the week you go up a division and the wins are worth more points towards qualification then

I'm so annoyed that everyone else has already started playing and I have to wait for 3 more days.
Yeah looks like they are making it for the truly dedicated or elite this time around. The weekly rewards are great as they are so the weekend league being tougher to get into should even it out a bit.
I've had a couple full days playing and I'm only on 1000 weekend league points. Works out about 30 wins a week just to get into it.
The special "Champions Edition" is also in stores as a hard copy, if you can find it.
My wife text me this morning that she was able to pick up a copy for me.
Always forget how profitable it is to do the starting sbc's when the game comes out. Best way to make coins early
Man I struggled to adapt to this in the first 5-6 games. Totally all over the place.
It feels like a completely different game to 18, wasn't expecting it to feel so different.
Think I'm starting to get the hang of low drivens too, I still find myself either double tapping circle or chipping it

I don’t dislike it, it’s just frustrating that I can’t translate how I want to play into the game yet. Enjoying it more the more I play it.
There’s this daft glitch where you want to smash the ball with power but the player just does a awkward side foot instead but apparently EA are aware of it and looking into it.
I ordered this Saturday from Amazon so where the fcuk is it?
Basic version? You’ll get it Friday.
Really struggling with this tbh... Won 2, drew 1 of my Division Rivals qualifiers so ended up in Div 5 which kind of sucks. Only played 1 game in that which I won comfortably but I only got 65 FUT Champs Points... 65 out of 2k? Like seriously.. Thats over 30 to qualify for the WL.. plus 30 at the weekend. While they've taken away the 40 game slog a bit at the weekend, making people play 6 games a day just to qualify is pretty harsh.
Also struggled badly on Squad Battles, maybe trying legendary with a 78 rated squad wasn't the best idea, won my first game 2-1, lost the next 3 on pens (which by the way are practically impossible vs the AI on Legendary, a bronze keeper saved 4 out of 4, all in the corner in one of the games.) Serious learning curve for me with this version.
All that said and all my struggles aside.. I'm really enjoying the game play, enjoying times finishing, enjoying how defenders don't freeze for stop and turns and fake shots. No more easy games with 50 chances in 6 minutes and 7-6 scorelines etc.. though I did lose one of my Division Rivals Qualifiers 8-1 but mostly because I had a meltdown and went stupidly attacking after going 1-1 about 20 minutes in.

Me too, the amount of soft chances i've booted out for a throw in is crazy because of old habits, also keep doing the lob because I'm holding sprint instead of R1 while trying to do the new low driven.
Anyone been playing Pro Clubs? If so, are you experiencing a lot of lag?
Have to say after a few more games (and I still feck it up occasionally) the low driven on the bumpers is better IMO
Just started the game up. The jump into the Champions League was awesome.
Cold hearted too... winning the CL final with Juve by beating PSG with Buffon.

Might have to just have a regular account to play with the players that I want. The first owner thing is pretty frustrating at times. I had two accounts last year that I played on at the same time and I just couldn't cope with all the games and just lost interest. Hope I don't this. year as much.
So after finishing all the starting sbc's and advanced ones, got my 2 teams. Got pretty lucky with a lot of solid pulls (worth 10k for a lot of them like Mkhi, Zaha, diego costa, a few discard in forms, etc. Didn't expect I'd be able to afford these 2 after just 1 day but happy with it!

I don't think I'll buy it this year.
Last week I converted my Origin Access into Premium for a month at the cost of like £4, and I've played quite a few games since then, both solo, and 2s with a friend. There's just something about the first touch that feels off to me, and they still haven't stopped CBs from parting like the Red Sea to let a forward through. As someone who only uses Origin for Fifa, I think this time around I'll save my £40.
Still, 24 days left of the sub to change my mind. We'll see.

Yeah it's all about the SBCs early doors. I've got a front 3 of Martial Jesus Mahrez. Managed to pull Sterling, Alli, Rashford, Zaha from them just from the prem.
What's this new low driven everyone is talking about don't think I've done that one yet
L1+R1 while shooting is the low shot now. Havent used it too much though so not sure if it's any good!Yeah it's all about the SBCs early doors. I've got a front 3 of Martial Jesus Mahrez. Managed to pull Sterling, Alli, Rashford, Zaha from them just from the prem.

The timed shooting is fecking me up consistently though. I do a cross in and start tapping circle to get a shot off but it ends up being a shite timed finish instead of a normal shot like what i wanted. Takes some getting used to I guess.
Yeah I've considered turning it off several times after fecking up stupid chances forgetting about it. I'll have to try that low driven then. Tbh it makes sense with the bumpers being chip and finesse already that the other type of shot should also be controlled by them.
I have bought a digital copy of the Standard version. When can I start downloading it. I want to start playing the moment the game goes live. Can the download be done before that?
I think so, mine came straight on at midnight on Monday
Just started downloading mine. I must have turned off automatic downloads.
What formation are you all using?
Is there a caf PS4 group chat for this yet?
AI in squad battles this year is a fecking joke. They play one touch football that every manager can only dream of and defend as if they have 20 people back with the speed of Usain Bolt and strength of the world's strongest person
I don't envy the slog for FUT champs. Can you still qualify by being in DIV 1? or by getting Gold? I saw some comments about some point system to qualify?
I think you earn points depending on how you do in FUT Champs.. So I'd imagine being there makes it easier to maintain, not sure if Div 1 offers more or less FUT Champs points per match though.
It's fecking tough, they defend really well and with numbers and break like Liverpool.
Things are starting to click for me.
Struggled a lot on legendary in SB yesterday but today I won 4/4. 2 were on pens TBF but I had to come from behind in both games. The other two I won 3-1 and 4-1.
I'm putting it down to switching to 4-2-3-1 in game with the dynamic tactics. Not got the best team but it's getting there. Done all the SBC's so there's not much opportunity to get new players in ATM, so now and then I've been opening 5k packs. Thinking of doing a draft when the new TOTW comes out later.

Do I get any draft tokens at the start? I'm not putting a penny into FUT so hoping to win a draft straight away and get a jammy pull from the packs
How is Dzeko? Is it true slower, taller strikers like him are viable this year? I hope so.
Feels much better than last year where I felt he was unusable until a few in forms. Great in the air, great finisher, holds the ball up decently well but would like him to be a bit more agile ideally. But definitely they feel more viable. Pace always has its uses as it should, but you can't just sprint away from defenders with the ball and I feel like pace is most noticeable off the ball. Good balance actually!
That's definitely true and as it should be really. Not many players can blow past players with the ball at their feet. As for taller, stronger strikers they are definitely viable. I used Arnuatovic(sp?) for quite a while as my main striker and my mate has Caroll as his bench striker.
Also a good thing.... Scholes Keane and Giggs dont seem too expensive! Can get the cheapest versions of each for around 1mil combined, and considering the prices are sky high right now, thatll most likely go down.
I bet Mario Gomez is a beast. He was my bench striker last season before building my team up, he has great strength, finishing, heading and long shooting.
I've just got Jesus a few games ago and he is so much better though so still not really viable once your team gets going.
Thanks! Hopefully it is possible to succeed with these type players this year, it would make the game a lot more enjoyable.
