Gaming FIFA 19

I have a feeling the difference between gold 1 and elite 1 is pure hard cash
Would agree with this, I’ve started playing a bit more now and I came across a guy yesterday who had 5 icons in his starting 11 playing Pele and Cruyf in midfield with Kante then had Neymar Luis Ronaldo and Messi. Then it was 1-1 and he was able to go to his bench bring on Ronaldo, George Best and Henry. He ended up winning 2-1 but it was more just his firepower over skill level. At a point it does kind of suck however when you do beat this super teams you do feel like a Fifa’ing god who should have his own YouTube channel only to get pumped 2 games later by some guy just spamming long balls to Dzeko.
 
I started UT last week for the first time since like, Fifa 14. Is it worth getting the 2k points needed to qualify for the Rivals/Champions thingy with my newly found budget team, or am I just going to get spanked repeatedly anyway?
Just give it a go mate. You only need to reach silver 1 (11 wins) to auto qualify for the following weekend. You’ll get £20k coins from that as well and some packs and you’ll get division rivals points on top of that just for playing your weekend league games.
 
Stuck career mode on after not playing the game at all for ages. Was up to the quarters in the CL. Getting to the final and facing Spurs instead of Barca somewhat takes the edge off it.

Doing something similar but dragging my way up from the German 3rd division with a squad where the average age must be about 18. Some of them can’t even cross the ball on the run and instead do a weird thing where they leave it behind then end up putting one in an Ashley Young like fashion but on their wrong foot. Got Chong, Gomes, Adu and that other Chelsea kid Bayern are after for about 7 mil combined.

I used a financial takeover so I had 40 mil to spend on the most talented kids in the game or kids with the highest potential that I could afford and get. At this point Vinicius Jr seems like a pipe dream though.

Got the TOTW Rashford striker card for FUT and so far he’s been incredible and scored 7 in 3 and one of them was a peach of an overhead kick on his left.

As @Carlsen19 said if you reach 11 wins you’ll get great rewards, even two untradable informs. If your team is shite and you’re not an experienced player it could get really tough though. I’d probably stick to division rivals in the beginning until you get a decent team.

Cheers both. I'm a pretty experienced player, I just haven't played UT for years - Seasons is too fun (and free :D). Team is getting there, though. Adding Immobile & Nando tomorrow will probably take me to 84/85 rated overall, dragged down by the fact Dalbert is only 77 & Sandro is expensive as hell.

Not spent a penny so far, but out of 1000 coin boosters.

Now is probably the best time to buy with everyone selling for TOTY

Ah, you should have a go at it then

If you're using a Serie A team you could have Miranda and Allan in your team and get Alex Telles at LB on full chem. Allan is a must with any Serie A starter team at 1.3k, he's plays much better than his stats suggest.

My friend told me as much regarding Allan, and Miranda I figured out would be a good buy myself. Telles doesn't fit for me right now, I think - He'd have a weak link with SMS. :( Current line-up is...

Ederson
Cancello Miranda Filipe Dalbert
Hamsic Allan SMS
Verdi Immobile Peresic

Got blue versions of Dalbert/Allen/Verdi as they were cheap. I was going to buy Naldo to replace Felipe, but my friend told me I should just save up for Thiago Silva... But he's like twice the price :boring:

Actually, with an Italian manager, SMS is on 8 chem & Telles is on 9 chem... Is that good enough, despite the red link? Or should I just stick with Dalbert regardless? I don't quite get it, honestly.

I can't say I've ever noticed a difference when a player is a couple of points off 10 to be honest but I can get a bit OCD about it. You could start with something like this in the link below and then change once the game starts. It can be a bit of a hassle to do that every game but it gets everyone on 10 chem (with loyalty bonus/manager league etc)

Ahh cheers, that'd work! At the moment I'm playing with a narrow midfield 3 & wingers, but if I understand right, I can just swap to default positions/formation easily at the start of each game anyway.

I'll do that. Thanks a lot.

Edit: Damn, PC prices :eek: Sucks to be me :lol:
 
Just got permanently transfer banned from fifa19...has this happened to anyone else?

Did you try to sell/buy coins or transfer coins between accounts? They notice when large amounts of coins are spent on players that normally don't go for big amounts. Like spamming the max buy now price on random players for no reason. If it's wrong then send a complaint

:lol: No problem.
 
Anyone know if the promo packs rewarded in rivals and SBCs are better to open then standard gold looking premium packs? My mates are saying save the blue coloured packs I’ve got for saturday but the preorder packs and other gold coloured ones i have I might aswell open now?

Colour doesn’t mean anything. What matters is the amount of rare gold players. You should just open everything now as all the TOTY players are currently in packs.
 
Why did Derek Rae just say Ce-ers-ska Moscow?

Surely it's CSKA?

There's some other weirdly pronounced stuff by the commentators.
 
Every time I open packs I get awful Spanish CB’s and GK’s. Fecking waste of time, these rewards.

I have no luck either. Trying weekend league forthe first time this weekend so hoping something comes off there.

In the two years playing the best pack I've had has been Aubameyang who I sold for over 300k. Rest of that has been pure shite. Honestly can't believe these peoples luck that roll out a team with 7 icons, Messi, Neymar etc as i faced the other day. Luckily he was rubbish.

That's not luck it's paying £1000s to buy the team you want

I think I’ve got Nacho CB Real Madrid as the star player from the last 3 packs I’ve opened. You would think that’s less likely than pulling a POTY card. I have had luck before as Kante is still my pride and joy and recently I pulled a Filipe Luis Road to the final card.

Currently having the problem that no one in my team can make it beyond 70 minutes without blowing all their energy and some coming up with injuries. The 4-2-4 and high aggressive pressing might have to go as I’ve lost the last 3 simply due to not being able to run or guys just not shooting.

Ederson
Trippier Stones Laporte Mendy
Fernandinho Kante
Sterling Jesus Rashford Martial

TOTW cards

 
Anyone got any toty players? Any theory on what KDB will cost in a few weeks time?

It’s not luck mate it’s spending thousands of pounds or the risk of coin cheating. I spent over £1000 in the end on 18 and I didn’t have a team full of icons. I’ve spent probably £500 on 19 so far and I have a very good team but nothing like what you mentioned.

Yeah you're probably right. Must suck spending all that money and getting beat by my 83 rated team in Div 5 :lol:
 
Anybody else got Keane and how are you using him to get the most out of him? So far he seems really good at passing and tackling but seems slightly slow and un-agile. Though i think my team is suffering the "bad form" as i was away 4 days and couldn't play. I find that if you don't play for a day it messes with your team. Play loads and they play like gods.
 
Does anyone have this on the switch. Been playing that way more than my Ps4 these days. was wondering how was the gameplay on the switch platform

I played it on switch over Xmas as my nephew got it so we had a few games on Boxing Day. Graphically not as good, gameplay feels a bit different (than Ps4) but still very good. It certainly does feel like the inferior version though.

Had Keane a few weeks back, sold him after 10 games. He’s decent all round but not really great at anything. Or he was to me anyway. Not as good on the ball as pogba, not as good off the ball as Kante, I’d say he’s no better than Fabinho so not worth 800k (when I got him). But that’s just my impression. Also may I add that form from a few days off is you, not the game in my opinion. Sometimes you need a break and to lower your expectations of how good you think you are, and you play better. Sometimes repeated playing gets you in a rut of repeated patterns. Again just my opinion although patterns of fifa bullshit does exist.

I'm determined to make it work as i did the SBC to get him and he's untreadeable, but i just need to figure out how to properly use him. Might have a look at the chemistry cards and see what's best.

I sold Pogba before his price dropped to finish the Keane SBCs, so I'll buy him back soon. Then it'll be the 84 Rashford card as i play his LW 82 card as a striker already.

I transferred coins between 2 accounts. It was worth it though, this what I ended up as my team:

DDG
IF Aurier IF VVD Prime Puyol J Alaba
IF Pogba IF Fabinho
Prime Baggio
Salah Aguero IF Felipe Anderson

It should be easier to post pics here

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback

Oh right. You never mentioned the untradeable part. Ok then, make him captain, give him the 16 shirt play him as a CDM and remember you love united and you will never feel disappointed. Having used him I wouldn’t have done the SBC but he’s still a good player and a sweet looking icon but not worth the coin. But it’s done now, don’t dwell, still a beast after all.

Yeah but now you cant access the transfer market again and I'm not sure if it gets reset for new games or if it's a perma ban so you might get screwed for that too.
For whatever reason, you arent allowed to transfer coins between accounts so I doubt they'll change anything for you if you do complain about it!

Hardly worth it if you have been banned. Cruel if it’s transferring it between two legally paid accounts but you have ran the risk and been punished.

I created a case to contest the ban, I think it just applies to FIFA 19 but you are right it sucks I cannot access the transfer market again but on the bright side I cant spend any more money on FIFA :)
 
I feel for you pal, i really do.
Especially when I regularly see players selling for 10x their value, you know it’s coin cheating. But it is what is. He who dares wins (or gets unlucky and gets banned) I guess it’s a case of be smart. Play to EA rules and waste a fortune on shit packs. Or be smarter and leave this soul destroying game forever. A sentiment I support but I can’t help it. I love it deep down. It’s a love hate relationship.

I hear you man, Ive been playing since FIFA '96 and this is the first time Ive had a ban. My team is good enough and I have enough consumables to probably tide me over till FIFA 20 comes out so it isnt the end of the world but it feels like EA went a bit over the top with the perma ban.

Ah well I get to spend more time playing Red Dead 2 and the division 2 comes out in March as well.
 
Going into this weekend league with 3 toty cards, can’t believe it- been playing fut for years but never had such a good team at this stage - although pretty much rinsed my team to get 3 toty cards.

Packed toty kdb with my one and only premier league upgrade pack from some duplicates I had in tradepile.


Play 4-3-3 in game, have to play a couple players of Chem until I can afford to buy some tradable players to replace them, my teams currently

Courtois
Flashback Juanfran, rttf Fernandez, toty varane, rttf Alonso
Toty kante, scream Koke
IF sterling, toty kdb, IF martial
Award winner Martinez
