I had Zaha for a bit. Packing Bale has just changed my team completely though. Upgraded all over so quickly

Can people do like speed & strength upgrades or something?

I'm yet to play someone who can't easily barge me off the ball and I'm not someone who doesn't know how to play. I know its L2 to jostle and to move your body in front of their palyer so he can't get round you (I do this to my friends frequently) but everyone online just seems to catch up to me and barge me off with ease. I feel like if I ran from the halfway line I would get to the circle line before they caught me. It's crazy quick.

I know the feeling. So many times I've put Bernard through on goal and the opponent centre half catches me in no time. At one stage Sakho caught me. All my front players are pretty small and weak so I don't mind the barging but it pisses me off that when I put them though on goal their pace doesn't seem to matter at all.

Maybe the Hunter, Catalyst and Shadow styles? It happens to me quite a lot to be honest as well, tried the spamming on RT/R2 and I can see what people mean with the bigger touches. Sort of works but isn't easy to know when to use.

Yeah I feel like when I knock it far ahead of me they'll reach it before I do for some reason.

Yeah using the right anolgue causes that issue more than tapping the spring button.

I seem to have massive swings between games at the moment. Some games I'm completely tearing people apart, next game I can't string 2 passes together.
 
Is it just me or the Freekicks are too easy in this game. Scored off a freekick maybe just once in 10-15 attempts in fifa 18 (yeah, I'm not great at the game), but somehow I've managed to score from both the freekicks I've received within 30m range in this version
 
Serie A is certainly the best value for money this year, in my opinion. I’m currently rolling with this 352 setup:

GK - Reina
CB - Skriniar
CB - De Vrij
CB - Bonucci
CDM - Khedira
CDM - N’Zonzi (CL Card)
RM - Baldé
LM - Perisic (CL Card)
CAM - Luis Alberto
ST - Zaza
ST - Belotti

I have around 150k at the moment, just biding my time before making any more purchases. Cuadrado will probably be the next one, mind you. Dzeko is seemingly very useable this year too, perhaps he could dislodge one of the front two.

After that I’ll probably start grinding towards Ronaldo and Dybala, although Chiellini and Manolas might be worth picking up first.

Anyone else playing with something similar?

Was going to a Serie A side but I packed Azpi (untradeable and he's so good) which pushed me to the PL.

GK-Leno
LB-Davies
CB-Alderwerield
CB-Azpi
RB-Aurier
CDM-Herrera
CDM- Gueye
RM-Lucas
CAM- Mhki
LM-Bernard
ST-Arnoutovic

Managed to pack an IF Cancelo from a SBC which got me 110k so got this team and have 60k left over after doing the SBC for Lucas. Problem for the PL is the lack of a good striker for decent money. Next step is Matic and either Jorgihno or Gundogan and either Sanchez or Martial for LM. After that will be saving for someone like Auba or Lukaku depending on prices.
 
Updated my team a tad:

-------------IF Cech-------------
Periera----Bailly---Ake-----Mendy
---------------------------------
---Fabinho--Fernandinho--Fred---
---------------------------------
--Sterling------Jesus-------Son--

Fwiw, I'm not really digging Fred but he's untradable so staying for now. Sterling has easily been my best player and is a steal at 30k, he's been better than Mahrez and Mbappe (who admittedly I used off chem.)

I've got Felipe Anderson, Lacazette on the bench so could probably go and get Azpili for Ake's spot as even if I sell them I'll still have Werner, Benzema, Callum Wilson, Young, Ndidi, Allan, Hernandez (lb from Atletico).

His OTW card gets improved when Jorginho has an in form card. Every time before Chelsea games people buy his cards in hope of a good game then his price goes down if he doesnt score. Small profit if you unload right before the game, holding during the game you're banking on him scoring in which case his price shoots up.

Just got Benzema and Martial in packs. Upgrade on Schurrle but I’ll try and sell Benzema.

Click on the sbc you want to do, then there's like sub menus and you can click "completed challenges". Then there's a list of submissions that people put for ways of completing it. Mix and match or just copy it fully, buy the players on the list and submit that. Sometimes you might need some added loyalty chemistry or position modifiers, but it says it in the menu.

You click on completed challenges but be careful with futbin solutions, alot of them will be made by a person who builds the squad, buys up all the copies of a really cheap bronze player and lists him for stupid money. Check all prices in game after you find a solution or you could get stuck spending 3k on a bronze player.

A general rule of thumb, after you check the squad, look for any weird players from weird leagues (particularly fullbacks) and check their price on the market first, otherwise you'll get stung.

Its very easy to find a broze player who last sold for 200 on futbin, then when you go looking for him to complete your sbc, theres only 20 of his card available at 5k each.

I find it safer to find a squad that 1-2k more on all gold players squad from common leagues than to look at the cheapest option with bronze left backs from Guatemala or something, you can get caught out very, very easy looking for the cheapest squad.

Azpi is incredible mate. Packed him as untradeable and is the sole reason I went for PL team. SBC Lucas is well worth it but you already have Sterling so that's probably not worth it for you. Bernado Silva is only about 4k as back up for RM and if you boost his pace he is great as an alternative. I find Herrera to be better than Fred but in your formation maybe Gundogan/Jorginho (that's my next buy). What is Jesus like? I'm using Arnoutovic (pretty good) and Morata (dogshit). Also any idea if Felipe Anderson would be worth it over Martial/Sanchez?

If you are doing a PL team then try do the Lucas SBC if you can. His card isn't far off Salah and I managed to get him for around 20k after selling off the things I got in the packs for doing it. Didn't get anything too great either.

Stuck between deciding on Sanchez or Martial. Leaning Martial atm in case they release the usual update where pace is everything.
 
Also Coleman is a surprisingly good back up RB in case anyone needs a cheap one.

Jesus is a big upgrade on Lacazette which is weird considering Lacazette's stats are slightly better and he has 4 star weak foot, Jesus just feels better imho and I'm glad I dumped the 60k on him. Strong MC's tend to suit me so I might plump for Hererra or Dembele instead of Fred, I think Fabinho, Fernandinho and Dembele would be really strong and good going both ways. As long as I have 2 brazilians in there I can always get neymar or Douglas Costa further down the line and not lose chem.

Anderson is very good but being right footed doesn't suit me despite the 4* weak foot, he shoots with the outside of his right too much when he should use his left. He's crazy agile though and beats players easily. He's alot more creative than Son (I haven't used Martial or Sanchez) but Son gets me goals because he will use his left foot more often. I also like to get to the byline and do a high cross for a header tap in. He gets pushed off the ball pretty easily.
For 30k he's a good player but probably not at Sanchez level or that of any of the 70k PL left mids. Sanchez and martial are probably no go for me for that reason and I think I'd probably prefer Rashford as he's left footed and good for back post headers.

Azpi will be my next signing for certain, then a CM, followed by a keeper with saves with feet trait I think. Could I get all that done before weekend league I'd be happy.
 
I played someone who had Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and De Gea. His lowest rated player was 86. And I'm in division 7 and just started playing! How much must he have spent?
 
Team now is sitting at....

Schmeichel
Walker Van Dijk Azpiliceuta Mendy
Fabinho
Firmino Mkhitaryan
Lucas (potm) Jesus Sane

Bailly
Martial
Mahrez
Tolisso
Oxlade

A feck ton. I've packed Bale etc and still got nowhere near enough coins for that.

Sound man, nice summary. I'm playing 4231. Happy with my defense. Want Matic to defend in midfield and a silky player, probably Gundogan. Will probably spring for Jesus so (I'll be lucky to afford the higher level guys). Nice so Anderson will probably be worth it so I can get a couple more at the same time. Just the typical hoarding coins to get upgrades so unless I get lucky in a pack.

Also I haven't used Bailly but I'm liking Alderweireld with a pace boost on him too.

Sell chamberlain, all Liverpool players are like at least 9k because of the sbc (got 11k for Chamberlain but usually around 10 is what his price is now I think).

Yeah, he's a good player and imho something like 90k for Anderson and Jesus would be a bigger upgrade than just 90k on Alexis or Son.

Sound mate that's just what I need and will probably allow me to sort out the midfield too.

It's just people submitting their solutions to the sbc's, and then you play fifa and get the players on there and submit the sbc's. On futbin you just look for the right sbc, look for completed solutions, and look for cheap options (keep in mind some might be inflated because they are on that site, but it gives ideas and most of the time you get it cheap enough). You can also click on start challenge to try it yourself and see what you need. Look at the tabs that say how much loyalty and positional cards are needed as that has an impact a lot of times too and is an annoyance.

Thanks
 
Plan on selling everyone pretty soon, should have around 700k I think. Maybe 800k if I get lucky.. Deciding between Giggs, Scholes or Keane for my first legend. Their cheapest cards seem to range between 400-450k so definitely doable to get them all, just not sure who to start with.
 
If your looking to make coins united and juve are a safe bet for the UCL MM in 2 weeks and looking at how much the Liverpool players are going for it should be a tidy profit
 
I've got a squad worth about 500k at the moment and the only upgrades I can make are the likes of Bale, Griezmann, Modric who all cost 120k and over. Is there a good way to turn 500k into 1m?

I've done all the basic and advanced SBCs, plus the marquee matchups and UEFA marquee.

Yeah that's pretty much nailed on. Think I might look at getting Jones. Pereira would be a decent shout but the possibility of no winger formations could render him useless
 
What's the best formation on Fifa 19? I was playing 442 with default tactics and got thrashed every other game. The results are improving since I switched to a 433 with holding midfielder and changed my tactics to constant pressure.

Still here :)

I stopped playing FIFA when the Pro Club split - I never got as frustrated with the game when we played as some of the people. Was annoying how the game engine worked sometimes, but I just enjoyed playing matches with the guys.

Not online as much now - use a different PSN (as my son seems to have taken over my old one!) and just sent you a friend request :)

Can't remember who told me to change but I've switched to 4321 instead of the 433's and its been a great switch for me personally. I sometimes switch in game to 4231 if I need CDMs or want to keep the ball.
 
Got Mbappe from the UCL tradeable SBC yesterday.. sold him for 800k and then made another 500k from sniping Liverpool players :lol::lol:
 
I have 55k now. Do the advanced SBCs or Lucas SBC????? Need to make some coins so don't want to do the wrong one
 
As someone who hasn't played the previous one and I only play casually, after playing the demo I think this year's game is actually superb. Everything feels so smooth.

I’d do the Lucas POTM personally as it’ll probably expire soon? You can do the Advanced SBC’s whenever.
