Gaming FIFA 19

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.
Here here. I looked forward to RDR2 but I’m barely 2 hours in because I don’t have much time to play in the week and when it comes to the weekend I end up cramming in weekend league. This is on top of having 3 kids, kids football matches, my football match, watching united, shopping with the missus or kids parties etc. At times that need of rewards from weekend league (which have been shit mostly) feels like a life sentence. Somehow I manage to slog out gold 3 every weekend at least, I almost pray that I was unfairly banned to put an end to it.

Holy shit, you got 3 kids and you still manage to make the weekend league and compete at a gold 3 level as well?
You are impressive mate.

RDR2 is such an impressive game it made me upgrade all my audio/visual equipment to 4k so I can see the game in all its glory. Playing RDR2 in 4k is a amazing experience.

Haha. Well I guess once your in it it’s only 11 wins to stay in it. I know your 4k addiction. I got an oled in October and it is beautiful to behold.

I've only done the WL twice this year. Never feel the need for it when you can get nice rewards and coins from playing like 6 games of rivals a week to get rank 3. Nice and easy.
 
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.

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 did the loan for him to see how he was and just couldn't get used to him. He's perfect if you've got 2 attacking CMs already. Maybe change to a 451 attacking formation and have him as your only cm behind to AMs
 
I just packed an Icon. The 86 version of Kluivert, so even when your luck comes in still pretty useless. Don’t know if I should sell him or not. Doesn’t seem to be going for much. Obviously people that want him probably want the 91 version.

Put him in a higher rated icon sbc, That's if you have the coins to do the rest?

500k+ can't complain too much!
 
My first ever Weekend Rivals, and a few games in, I'm up against someone with TOTY Kante & Ronaldo :D Worst thing is, I should've won that game. Had way more chances, but a few defensive errors early on just let him get a quick easy lead.

Ah well, 4 wins in 7 so far.
 
Havent played weekend league once this fifa. How do people who played it last year find it with less games? I usually hit elite 2 last year but no time to play. I have the 2k points to enter but always forget so havnt touched it once :lol:

Don’t think I’ll be able to do that as I’m broke. Got 60k to my name, so selling seems the best option or banging out a massive fifa session as most of the time I’ve just played Squad battles where the rewards are rubbish but after closer inspection of rivals I now see this is where the money is at.
 
100,000 on my FUT account, decided to just spend 35,000 on a Promo Mega pack, got me TOTY De Gea :)

I was saying «idiot» to myself as I bought it :lol:

Nice return that. It’s a class feeling when you get a brilliant player. I remember my Ronaldo pull the week before price ranges came in to effect, sold him for 12 million and had the most fun I’ve ever had on a game.
 
Thanks to the Casillas SBC i just made 150k profit :D

Two weeks ago i bought 50 lucas vazquez when he was really cheap. Now im selling almost 3 times his value

First time i do something like this in many years playing fut. I never cares too much about the trade aspect of the game but now with the actual gameplay beinf as frustrating as it is im looking more to this side of the game

Oofh, De Gea seems to be going for in the upper 800s. Any idea whether I should just cash in now?
 
How do you change formation at the start of the game without pausing it?
 
3-0 down at HT, 3-3 at FT, 5-3 winner AET :D Can't moan at that. I'd resigned myself to lose & the total lack of expectancy made it easier.
 
Help, is there anyway i can get into weekend league? Never registered before and know i missed it but could squeeze a fww in later

The window for qualification for this week's entry has passed. You can play division rivals to qualify for next weekend's one.

Jammy sod. Sell now. He’s not worth having. I have POTGS DDG with a basic card on him. A little tip I learned. Look at his attributes he’s practically 99 across the board and 500k less. The toty DDG is a waste of coins although he would look very nice in the loading screen no doubt.

For a start don’t be that annoying sod that pauses it as soon as it kicks off. Like someone has said set up the custom tactics formations and switch to the formation you want at kick off with the d pad. Very easy. Most players don’t actually play the formation from the loading screen.
 
There has been a squad builder challenge and I’ve done it 4 times for POTY packs and I’ve packed this POTW Pina twice now out of 4 packs. Could a man just not get Mbappe or something please FUT gods.

Looks like nobody wants to buy me Kluivert card either.
 
My pack luck was fecking unreal last night.

I decided to do David Silva Centurion - from his over 300k, I managed to get him done for 140k with pack luck got Courtois. Sold Neuer and used the 60k on league upgrade packs.

For 200k expenditure last night I got.
93 David Silva,
Nif Griezmann, - 150k
Nif Aguero, - 150k
Nif Courtois, - 60k
IF Arthur, - 25k
IF Lindelof, - 28.5k
IF Deeney. - 13.5k

Given prices are likely to rise again after TotY, I'll take that David Silva 93 + 420k worth of players not including dross. I would say well over 650k profit all in.

Yeah, sold him for 760k, or thereabouts. Got me a 91 rated Scholes instead for 660k :)

How long did it take you to get the 2k points? I played for a week and got about 1K
 
In the last few weeks I've done the Ibrahimovic SBC and Tevez SBC. My subs are now Aubameyang, Ibrahimovic and Tevez. Unreal attacking bench
 
Improvements to your defence make so much more difference than improvements to your attack. Just brought Ramos in for Azpiliceuta and it's night and day despite the fact Azpiliceuta has been great for me for ages
 
So I pack hoarded ready for the toty, worked it out online and it totalled around 830k, had 4 rare mega packs and 5 prime gold players in amongst it all. Best player was Perisic, I'll be lucky to get 100k for what I unpacked. Won't be doing that again.
 
Sold that Kluivert card and got 520k for it so I now have 579k. What to spend it on? Any suggestions? I don’t really cross that much and prefer movement passing and pace and am mostly running this at the moment.
Ter Stegen
Roberto Umtiti Laporte Mendy
Fernandinho Kante
Sterling Jesus Rashford Martial
TOTW
I have players like Icardi, Mertens, Matudi, Luis Road to the final and others so I have combinations just can’t decide.

Was hammering people in division rivals last night the amount of quits I was getting by the 60th minute.

Maybe buy a really good other team? Could probably get something like

Ter Stegen

Cancelo CL
Bonucci
Umtiti
Alba

Busquets
Matuidi

Coutinho
Rodrigo CL
FEkir CL
Mbappe

Upgrade Jesus to either TOTW or Aguero/Aubameyang and Sterling for Salah

Also Laporte for Varane
 
Where is a good place to sell coins? I tried Mmoga but they're not buying at the minute.

I was thinking of selling Fifa altogether but playing online seasons is a breath of fresh air. Really enjoying the variety of players I can use and the gameplay seems much better. No knobends watching every replay or doing daft celebrations either.
 
@Arbitrium That could be an idea, I’ve just been looking at the market since that last post and I just can’t decide what to build my team around defensively. As I quite like the looks of Cancello CL or TOTW and then Sandro to boot as I noticed Cheilleni isn’t as slow as I thought he was so maybe build round that. But then Varane (ridiculously overpriced) and Alba (CL) seems like it could be an option and probably works a lot better in my team for Chem. I think I’m leaning towards Varane and Jordi(CL)

@P-Nut0712 that is something else I’ve looked at as his TOTW card looks pretty good and I’m not sure I really like Sterling as he seems a bit lightweight and just doesn’t seem to make good runs for me anyway.

Thanks for the help guys.

Online seasons is what's kept me playing Fifa for the last 6 or so years. Once my lil UT fad is done with, I'll no doubt be going back :D Although, honestly, I do play exclusively with Liverpool... Maybe I should mix it up more.

I'm really surprised with UT, though. First time I played it was either 13 or 14, and there was seemingly no way you could succeed without spending money. Since then, I've refused to play it, until last week where I decided on a whim to give it a go... It's SO much better & player-friendly than it was when I first played. I'm starting to see the appeal now.

Same here kept 2 weeks worth of rewards and spent about £100 throughout the week on special toty packs. The packs have been abysmal. Almost borderline theft. Out of all those special packs most of which were 100k and more the best player I got was firmino who sold for 25k. Complete joke.
 
@Andersons Dietician

This was 600k on ps4 and 530 on Xbox. Don’t think there’s any chance you couldn’t have fun with that team

What were yous expecting lads? They literally tell you that you have a VERY small chance of packing someone decent. What is it, less than 5% chance you’ll get someone decent every time you open a pack? Get yourself in the head space that the company hates you, your family and everyone you’ve ever known and don’t give them another cent.
