At least Suso is Spanish so might be usable in an 84-86 sbc.... Where did you finish buddy that seems horrid, that elite level finish right?

Gold 1. Finished on 21 wins, Elite 3 is 23 so I wasn't too far off.

Are EA servers still down for anyone else? At this rate it looks like I'm not gonna be able to register for the upcoming weekend league

Have the same problem, got on for a bit but now gone again.

Also that robbery for 21 wins...

Yeah, they were fecking terrible packs. I did get Alex Sandro and Fabinho earlier this week from some of them cheap halloween SBCs so I guess I used up my pack luck for a while :lol:
 
I got sweet F.A from my weekend league rewards, however my division rivals rewards were unreal.

Took untradable again and packed Aubameyang, Fred, Kovacic and Jorginho. Also got a few 85/84 rated players that will be perfect for SBCs.

I was in the process of saving up for Aubameyang so now that money can go towards Kante or De Bruyne which will pretty much finish my squad.
 
@P-Nut0712 - Do you mind if I ask what chem style you use on Eriksen? I've been looking through Futbin and it recommends deadeye, artist or maestro to make him 92 rated, but tbh I'm really tempted to go with Finisher because it boosts his physicals and gives him 99 long shot and 99 shots power which should be great for finesse shots from outside the box.

I can't get on to check at the moment. I've definitely got one that improves his shooting, but beyond that I don't know.

Thats immense, I played 4 games on my sons account in Div 6 yesterday to get him Div 6 rank 3 rewards and he got IF Mane and Fred in the same megapack (his first ever FUT reward pack), I got pure and utter shite, the Eriksen I got in WL today is my best player value wise after Lewandowski much earlier in the game.

Nice, I was hoping for Mane or Willian from the rewards but got utter trash, some 83 and another 82 as my totw players. Hoping for a high rating SBC to drop soon that I might be able to get done.

Was hoping for Godin or Marquinhos personally as I can set up a little Brazilian or La Liga triangle at the back to partner Rio for WL but meh.. was never gonna happen. Looks like I'm going into WL with shite fullbacks (CL Ordiozola and CL Danny Rose). La Liga right backs are pretty poor this year and prem left backs are shocking. Wish I'd done Juanfran...
 
Going into the WL with this: Full Chem
Oblak
If Cancelo - Godin - Chiellini - Alba
Nainggolan - Matuidi
IF Insigne - Dybala - Mertens
Griezmann
Hope it's worth the change. Putting IF Mandzukic up front killed it for me, bringing Immoble back helped, a lot, but still wasn't fully convinced with him, so hoping Griezmann add a little extra

Thats a great team.
 
Alejandro Gomez was absolutely incredible in 18 and same again this year. My favourite player on the game.
 
Managed to connect to the servers and opened my packs. I had 20 packs in total as I saved my Squad Battles rewards and opened them all at once. Managed to snag myself a Varane and an Immobile! Quite pleased and it makes up for my rather poor FUT Champions player picks of Demirbay and Bellarabi.

I’ve exclusively used Serie A this year; however, that Varane would be an amazing starting point for any La Liga side.. I’m tempted. Any advice, gents? For what it’s worth, I have around 550k in the kitty, to boot.

EDIT: Just remembered I have an untradeable Isco that I could use to build around any prospective La Liga side.

Striker wise Rodrigo is your best shot, think he's relatively cheap as well. Could make a nice hybrid with Varane, Isco already there and add Ramos and Courtois for a nice diamond in the core of your team.
 
Does anyone have a way of contacting someone at EA about this game/make suggestions or something?

I am desperate for them to add a matchmaking option in FUT like they have in regular online seasons. The ability to filter by controller settings would be so simple and great. I can't play online on FUT because I would get trounced (I play manual controls so going up against a most likely assisted control player is pointless)

I would send them feedback through the EA website.

I did it this week, as I was having issues with my web app and they sent me an exchangable player as an apology and my app has been fine since.

Do you have a link? Other than the forums and help section I cannot seem to find a way

Yeah I could do with that as well.
 
The first two games on Squad Battles disconnected this morning giving me two 0-3 losses. I went on the EA Live Chat as I rarely ever get disconnects and they said I had to go to console settings > account management > restore licenses and then restart console. I played my other two games without any problems.
 
Got Manolas and Marquinhos in the WL picks, got really lucky as I have the original Manolas so allowed me to upgrade there, absolutely nothing yet again in the actual packs though.
 
I advise everyone to switch to 424. It's unreal how much easier it is to play compared to the 433 I've been using previously. Just won 5 games on the bounce with people rage quitting every game.

It is quite annoying to come up against. I just beat some guy who was using it and it does provide some scares if they win the ball off you high.

Yeah it's an unreal attacking tactic. It does leave you quite open to counter attacks, but for rapid transitions I've not seen anything like it. Now I just need to decide whether I'm sticking with it permanently so I can sort out big squads instead of one.
 
Whilst the chat of the 424 is tempting, I just haven’t found anything as solid as the 4321 so far this year. Especially if you keep the fullbacks back and have a powerhouse in midfield set to ‘stay back at all times’ and ‘cover centre’. Very tough to break down and then obviously devastating on the counter.

I went and had a toy with it myself and I’m balls at defending so I played some guy and it was end to end stuff, Kante was not doing the buisness in the centre with Draxler :lol: I hadn’t configured the settings just threw a team together but I have some ideas as to how I could make it work for me.
 
I’m getting a lot of losses from the game crashing after the opponent goes 1 up early in rivals,
Also it would have been handy to know they were going to extend the future swaps past the end of the month, I traded them in for the prime pack.

I played 14 D5 games today 6 draws, 8 losses, conceded no less than 25+ kickoff goals.

Have no clue whats going on but in every single game where I wasn't the home team (having kickoff) I was 1-0 down in the first two minutes without touching the ball, 2 passes down the wing, cutback 0-1. Ever single game.

If not I'd score, they'd score, I'd score, they'd score from the kickoff etc... every game was 5-5 or 4-5 or something. Had the crashing thing about 3 times too, they'd score from kickoff, leave the game and I'd take the loss
 
So i have around 750k to spend on an icon? Any recommendations? Im thinking Stevie G, Middle Hagi or middle Rui Costa? A mate of mine is touting Scholes and Baby crespo. I don’t want to regret my decision as i would lose alot in tax and this purchase would take up a huge chunk of my budget! I’m not that great at Fifa either, i sit around 1200 ranking points so I don’t know whether to go for a striker like Owen or someone to orchestrate my attack. Opinions welcome.

Whats your team right now?
 



I just sold Neymar so thinking of bringing in Willian or Coutinho to replace him. Sandro and Sanchez are untradeable aswell so i sort of have to do a prem/brazil hybrid.

Yeah having Sandro, Sanchez and Lucas as untradeables in spread out positions is quite restrictive :lol:
