Gaming FIFA 19

So despite taking untradable rewards every week to keep the game interesting I've ended up with a team that is pretty much finished already.

Sane Aubameyang Jesus Salah
Pogba Eriksen
Mendy Azpiliceuta Sanchez Walker
De Gea

Obvious place to upgrade next is Jesus for Aguero, and then maybe Eriksen for De Bruyne. Beyond that though where do I go next?
Make 2 teams to rotate between. Adds loads of life to the game and you always have something to play around with if you have 1 that you are happy with and don't see room for improvement. Or go for your favourite players in real life rather than OP in game players. Always found it's way more fun to play with players I like instead of using over powered players who I have no attachment with.

Yeah I considered this but sold all my 84+ players when the icon SBC dropped. Think I'll get Aguero and De Bruyne and start a 3 league hybrid side that I can build towards. Problem with 424 is it doesn't lend it self to hybrids very well.
 
Just noticed no CL SBC either. Anyone reckon they might move on to Europa League as there was that Europa League Aubameyang card a while back and they've been through the first round of group stage matches for the CL?
 
I did the UCL SBCs. I got a totw suso so I've come out on top, but them teases end in heartbreak always :lol:

I've just done the latest one, got CL Veratti. Should be good for an sbc
 
I'm the same to be honest mate. I rarely make hybrid teams and when I do it's something simple like 3 Juve/Bayern players together so they are all green :lol:
About the craziest thing I'll do is put Lukaku at RW or a ST/CF at CAM in a 4-2-3-1 and tell them to "get into the box on crosses" :wenger:
 
This will be my last weekend league until 2nd week of Decemeber, so really want to push on and get at least 20 wins (finished with 14 and 16 so far)

Martial* Morata Sterling
TOTW Willian fred* Kovacic Lucas
Rudiger Bailly* Sanchez
Leno*

Bench: Stones, Ake, Mane, Rashford, Herrera, Lanzini, Zaha

Currently have 450k, what recomendations do you guys have to improve the team?

Players with * I would preferably keep in the team unless otherwise advised, just because I seem to do really well with them.

I use this formation because, well basically I can't defend - so I use this formation as it is more attacking so tend to have goal fests, which balances out the poor defensive skills.

Weekend League rewards have already dropped it seems.

Will open packs and FUT picks later.. hoping the luck on the pick front continues again this week after improving my side with IF Alex Sandro and IF Manolas over last two weeks.
 
Yup, for all my effort, I got an 81 and 83 rated player :drool:

I'm tempted to sell my coins and move on from the game.
I've found myself playing WL only. Played 5 or 6 matches yesterday to secure Gold 1 in rivals for the rewards, but I'm finding it really tedious to have any sort of motivation to play.

My team is complete. Apart from 1m+ players I cannot improve my team, so really I'm playing for nothing.
IF Mertens for example, he's not even an upgrade really. For how little his stats are improved (most of which cap out with chem cards on both anyway) it's not even worth it.
IF's are basically useful for an 81-84 rated player with a 2-3 point jump

This sums up Fifa atm and one of the reasons I'm only playing WL. Thought it was mostly just me, but the button delay in some matches is awful

I got exactly the same :lol: @Igor Drefljak

And then the best player in my packs was Ruffier.

It feels pointless playing WL. No matter how I play I'll always finish on 17-21 wins. I thought my play was shocking this week but still somehow ended on 19 wins. And the week before I started with 13 wins from 15 but only ended on 21 wins.

I've sold my team as I won't have enough time to play the next two weekends but I'll probably buy it back after Black Friday. Hopefully the more pricy icons drop in price as the ones I've used so far have been quite disappointing
 
I got Joao Mario and Belotti in the picks, not the worst, not the best, bit of depth I suppose.

However, from the 3 packs I opened, not a single player that was worth more than their discard value, an absolute joke
 
Got feck all from my weekend league rewards. Tier 2 rivals got an untradable Mane though. Do I sell Sane and play Mane or keep both?!
 
Got Romagnoli and a chap called Joan Jordan, who sounds like he should be hosting an episode of Loose Women with a name like that.

Definitely not worth the hassle.
 
I got lucky and got red Felipe Anderson and red Richarlison in my packs, so they will go with the red Marquinhos I got last week. It doesn't matter though as 90% of my games are unplayable button lag so I may as well have a bronze team with no chem. I think a bronze team with no chem with a perfect connection would perform better than my main team under button lag. The game is broken for me as in it doesn't work.
 
Guys, if you have an Xbox One add my Live account. Will be great to smash you all on this game. My name is kind of ridiculous though :lol:

MC BIG TONY

Get it added!

Add me I'm at work at the moment. PEANUT0712
 
Did the marquee matchups and packed Hazard :drool: First decent pull this year.
 
Really hoping for the POTM Martial. Stacked up a bit in hope!

Yeah I'm hoping for the same myself. Going to make a French side it does.

Martial Griezmann Mbappe
Pogba Kante etc ...

Will avoid any games against you. Martial's gold card is already a beast. I can imagine his UCL and TOTW are too so an additional stat boost will be a freak!

Have you checked your tv settings? If your tv has a "game" mode then you want to use that for fifa. Anything else and you'll get button lag
 
Davinson Sanchez and 100k or Van Dijk? I suspect the former is the better option financially but VVD is incredible in this game.
 
The more I’ve played this recently the more I’m coming to the realisation that it’s not actually that much fun, is it? :lol:

Yeah that’ll make a small difference but nothing significantly sadly, I play FIFA via a gaming monitor and still get input delay/extremely sluggish gameplay. The servers are just horrendous, they seriously need need to invest more money into making them better.
 
Well, here goes :lol: WL once more.
I think once this is over I'ma sell my team, sell my coins and move on.

I hate playing through the week after a torrid WL, and when the WL is active I don't even really enjoy playing anymore.
Uncapped WL packs and haven't got above 84 in any, anyway

yep I always play on game mode, thanks for letting me know though. I have tried all sorts to fix the problem but most of my games are terrible button lag. I think it has something to do with the ea dedicated servers that the weekend league and rivals is played on because I have only had the problem since ea have introduced dedicated servers for certain game modes. Another reason I think its a server issue is because if I play at like 3 in the morning the game feels super responsive so its like the servers are less busy at those hours. I could be wrong but whatever the reason is it totally ruins fifa for me. I read a lot of other people complain about the issue too

When the game does work and feels responsive its a totally different game.

I sold Van Dijk and bought Sanchez a few weeks back. He's too slow on the turn for me.
 
Would you guys say I should keep Alex Sandro at LWB or flog him and get Nainggolan as one of my CM's?
 
Finally built my new squad today. I was gonna wait until next week to get better prices but after 10 games in the WL today I was to boored with my old 300k team so I just said feck it and bought the players. Only tried it out for 1 game so far but the difference compared to old team is just insane. Varane was just insane in the game I played, he was everywhere and the guy I played could not get past him.

Gameplay is the worst it’s ever been for me in FUT Champions right now.. Ronaldo and Mbappe turning like tanks. Impossible to play when it’s like this

Guessing you switch to a 41212 in game. Looks a solid side that shouldn't need upgrading until TOTY
 
5 wins from 5 so far. I have played my games late at night and basically no button lag whatsoever. Its a totally different experience playing when the game is so responsive, you can actually do things like turn and pass and be allowed to outplay your opponent.
 
So everyone seems to have decreased in price due to the Champions League promo. The one player I was going to buy, Fabinho, has risen :lol: fecks sake.
 
10-0 so far in the weekend league. I’ve figured out that consistency is my biggest issue so have decided to only play when my energy level is high and I’m really in the mood and while listening to some good music.
I’m aiming for 20-0 by the end of the day. Strongly doubt it’ll happen though, but the first 10 games have gone surprisingly smooth. Pogba has been massive. Playing him as a CF and he has 10 goals in 10 games.
