Finding it harder to do skills this year (I don’t have the game but occasionally play my mates round their house) - how do you pull off the various body feints.. I used to use the right stick in like a semi circle and shift different directions but it starts doing reverse step over and stuff. Don’t have the game so can’t practice it .. any tips?

And shooting has gone weird too.. how do I drill it bottom corner along the floor?

Thought body feints were the same, I rarely use them so can't tell. Skills are kinda pointless in 19 cept the Lane Change and drag backs.
Low shots are terrible this year, its L1, R1 and O or the XBox equivalent LB RB and I can't remember the shoot button but you are better to just curl it far post with finesse shot or just hit it hard as you can near post. Make sure you get the timed finish right.

Just use the Iniesta ball roll which if you’re facing someone just hold the right stick left or right and once you get used to timing it you’ll either completely bin that person or it’ll give you the space to pull off a shot. It’s probably the easiest and most overpowered skill move. If you combine it with the fake shot just before it it’s ridiculous. You just have to face up to the player in front of you with both bumpers.

Another good one is the heel to heel which is just forward and back or back and forward can’t recall.

The spins are pretty rubbish but that Iniesta roll is all you need. It’s I think a 2 star skill so everyone can do it.

Drilled shots really only work on the angle and it’s best done at a sprint coming on to the ball. If you do it from a standing hit it’ll more than likely go wide.
 
3 wins, 3 losses my 9m team going around like they are running in 2 foot of snow. this weekend is going in the bin for me. Which probably means next weekend too as I don't play enough rivals to qualify.

9m?

Who is in it
 
20 wins with 3 games left, and work at 9am. Do I go for it?

Prime Rivaldo, Best, Rio, Sol Campbell, Rui Costa plus CL Kyle Walker, DDG, TotS David Silva, Aguero, Sandro and Fabinho. About 7m for them all.

PotM Hazard, PotM Reus II (both on the bench) and then players a host of other untradables like Kroos TotgS etc..
 
Sold my rttf Lingard and selling Keano, once he sells I'll have enough to get Best (the 88 version). Worth it.

Ibrahimovic Rooney
Giggs Fabinho Scholes Best
Tierney Sanchez Bailly Valencia
K. Schmeichel

Martial Rashford
Sane Fernandinho Kovacic Sancho
Telles Militao Azpilicueta Alexander-Arnold
K. Schmeichel​

Basically in form versions for all of them (or futmas/league sbc or flashbacks or whatever else). Hopefully with the weekend league and rivals rewards ill also have enough to replace Schmeichel with De Gea. Not 100%sure on Fabinho but a lot of people seem to like him, and I need a holding mid next to Scholes with no more Keane. The goal is obviously to save up for him again but I'll take Best for the right wing for now.

Thanks lads - not sure how I’ll get the chance to practise this but will give it a go in matches!
 
If you guys have the coins TOTY Mbappe is a game changer. For the first time in a long time I feel the TOTY play to their stats. TOTY Neymar is also fantastic.
 
Should have made elite 3 but absolutely bottled my last 10 games. Lost 5 games on penalties just in my last 10 games.

Managed to blag gold 1 with a game to spare otherwise I'd have been selling my console tomorrow
 
First weekend league in about a year and a half, got myself to 15 wins and stopped. I'm delighted with that tbh. I lost 8 games drunk on Saturday out of 14 I think it was :lol:

My team is worth 120k roughly, I reckon if I had even 500k team would be aiming for 23-26 each week. Cant see me playing it again as my team just doesn't match up with the teams I'm playing so I have to play brilliant to win.

Didn't even have a ST the whole weekend

You'd struggle making 23 wins with a 500k team unless you're very very good.

He is from what I can remember. Him and Macern are the only people I've played regularly that I struggle to dominate possession and chance wise.

I was a 29-34 each week on the old system so I reckon I could do 23 but my team just isn't good enough at the minute. Probably too late to try get much better. I reckon with rewards from divisions and weekend league I might be able to build a team worth 300-400k. Any players are a MUST have for that sort of budget?

I only just got Fabinho before the weekend league, I will want him in the team. Hes so strong

I'll get you that game soon enough. Absolute nightmare for me to know when ill be on. If the baby falls asleep I'm on like a shot usually :lol:

Ah fair enough.

You probably want as many players who fit the meta as possible. Big, fast and strong defenders and DMs, and attackers with high finishing and curve for the outside the box finesse shots.

Yeah I have noticed weekend league is just people trying to make an angle for finesse. I played Vs people who move the keeper a lot, must think I'm stupid.. As soon as I notice once I do them near post each time.

Fabinho is the only stand out player I have used. Manolas seemed solid for me at the back too, but a nightmare to make a perfect link triangle
 
Some guy today must have just learnt the take keeper out function as after breaching his defence a few times he started storming his keeper out really far so I just started lobbing him from just inside his own half. In the end I think he had just given up as at 9-0 he was just trying to solo me with his keeper.

I havnt played a lot this year so just discovered the keeper thing. Soon as I notice it I take the piss, people must think we will do the same stuff over and over, playing into their hands
 
The one thing that bugs me with Rivals is the game stopping you, by doing everything possible, to get promoted. I skipped all my qualifying games so ended up in Div 6, I was on 1172 points, knew the game would do me as I've got to 1186 before, but I actually ended up winning the game 3-1, it gave me 27 points leaving me on 1199 points, it put me up against an insane 87 rated team which I lost 2-1.
 
Played a draft last night and used Bale (89) for the first time. My god he was unreal. Is he as good in normal as he is in draft? I had TOTY Mbappe and Ronaldo in the team too but Bale was so good. Also had TOTY Modric in CM, AMAZING.

Just did the future stars SBC and packed future stars Guendouzi, sold for £485k :drool:

Are there any decent icon CAM's worth getting for around £600-£700k?

https://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app/?showoffId=kceX4N87nPFRX:FFA19PS4

Gone with that for now. 4-2-2-2 in-game.

I thought all of those Future stars SBC’s were untradeables. Being doing the lot and just got absolute rubbish. I’ll have to take a look at the latest one. I was thinking of getting Guendouzi if I shift to 433 or keep going for Aouar. Did you try him out or just put him up for sale straight away?
 
I've gone to pot on FIFA. I sold Pogba to complete the Keane SBC and since then I've been really horrendous. I don't think it helps changing tactics every game trying to get something going but I'm genuinely struggling.

To be honest, apet from 3-4 players my team is quite poor. I've basic Shaw card at LB, for example. Think all these TOTY and Future Stars players have killed it. I can't be sure, but it almost feels like FIFA have killed the basic cards to make these new cards have the advantage that they should.

Other than that, I can't put my finger on what I'm doing wrong these days. Unless not having Pogba has really screwed up my game.

One thing I'm encountering is crazy tactics. People with everybody back defending but when the ball ends up at my defence they charge me like an army. They pillage my defenders, take the ball and score. It's almost as though everybody knows some secret FIFA tactics and I've missed the memo :lol:

Future stars challenge, the one that’s up now where you need an exact 75 rated squad. I did it literally as soon as it got released yesterday at 6pm, not sure if that makes a difference!

So did I originally then I noticed it said quick sell for £10k(?). I sold him straight away but he does look great. That Bentancur future stars card looks insane I think I’m going to sack off Zola and get that.
 
The last two nights I’ve finished work I’ve been disconnected from the game and the EA severs and sent back to the start menu about 4 times. It’s never happened this frequently before. Has anyone else had any issues or is it something wrong my end?

Yeah if I had an Italian set up he would be one I would be after. The Rb Calabara as well. He seems to be getting overlooked and going for nothing on the Xbox market. Militao looks good Brazilian set up would be handy for him.

I’ll go do this SBC and see what I get, my pack luck this week has been rubbish. It’s liked I used up all my chips on that DeGea Toty card and now I’m being punished :wenger:

Edit: update, completed the SBC which cost me around 10k and ended up getting Johnathan Tah as the best choice.

Who here has used Scholes? Was it @bosnian_red ? Tempted to get him just to keep the game fun, even though his card looks like it doesn't suit the "fifa meta". Bored of having the same players that everyone else does

Yeah, personally love using him. Perfect passing, great shot and movement and scores plenty from midfield in a 442. Quite handy in the air too. Doesn't feel too bad defensively either. His older version (87 card) obviously lacking in pace but still felt good, using his 89 card now and he feels like a box to box. Would imagine his prime is even better.

Definitely recommend it though. He's not like a Mata/David Silva who is useless in the game, actually feels good but with the bonus of using my favourite player. Same with Giggs though. A lot of people hate him in the game but I love using him. Then again, I'm one of the few who doesn't use inverted wingers and plays them like classic wingers, so Giggs is perfect for that.

Out of the 4 United legends that I tried, only felt "meh" with Keane. He's a very good defensive mid and his stats are really good but he didnt stand out as much as the other 3 (Giggs, scholes, best).

I have Keane and he's grown on me. Probably overpriced and not as dominant as I hoped. Reckon I'll get Scholes and throw him next to Keane and then potentially Ruud when I have the coins

I was planning on getting Ruud but with the flashback Ibra, league sbc rooney, Futmas Rashford and in form Martial I have my 4 strikers for my 2 teams all sorted. Only his prime seemed worth it anyway, and for that price I basically got Best on the right. Will buy Keane back once I get enough coins and make it a full icon United midfield :drool:
 
anyone play career mode? There's an annoying bug at the moment when you start a career save - within a few weeks all of your players total goes down by -1

e.g. DDG down to a 90.

Yeah I have flashback Ibra so maybe Ruud won't get a look in. I reckon Best will be my next purchase after just getting Scholes. It's a shame there isn't a Beckham icon as he'd complete the United 2000's midfield with Giggs, Scholes and Keano

I have played career mode and I only noticed this happening on players I wasn’t really using, not even older players just people that maybe weren’t getting high match scores or not playing.

Yeah thats the dream. Apparently he's with PES for now but I'm sure Fifa will get the license for him soon enough too.
 
Seemingly the new patch has or will massively nerf timed finesse shots and also goal keeper movement speed has been slowed down. Hopefully they’ll nerf Ronaldos heading power at the front post. There is basically no stopping him from scoring at a corner.
Dominated some guy and he managed to draw the game due to 3 carbon copy front post headers.
 
Jammy gits getting upamecano and guendezi (sp) in that 75 rated sbc... i got some twit worth 700 coins
