Gaming FIFA 19

Did the Crespo SBC yesterday. Only requires max 86 rated sides. Oh my fecking god he's insane. Struggling to know what chemistry card to put on him to get the most out of him though?

He's great in the air, absolutely rapid and has 99 finishing. Literally not one weak point really.
I’d put hunter on him to boost the speed

Trying to think of the best way to fit Rooney into this team without losing too much chem. I change to a 4-2-3-1 in game. Would probably replace him with Dybala and use him as a CAM behind Ibra. Mbappe is on 8 chem but still plays fine but wouldn't like to lose any more chem where possible

Replace Cancelo with the best version of Lala that you can affort and you’ll get Mbappe on 10 chem.
 
I have Sanchez on my right side. Not a fan of Mendy, I liked Shaw the best from BPL.

I take it you mean the new future stars one? Probs costs a fortune @Andersons Dietician

How much id Tierney SBC cost you reckon? Looks insane but I'm pretty skint @bosnian_red
Dont remember tbh, cheaper than it said on futbin. Its all bronzes/silvers with some golds thrown in. Also the league sbc was shorter than others, fewer teams to complete.

Definitely what Macern said. Keane cm, Scholes left CAM, Rooney right CAM, Mbappe and Lala both only chem with each other but have the full chem.

No meant Benjamin. Try Robertson, he should be significantly better than Shaw. Tierney is probably not worth is since you don’t have a lot of coins and he’s impossible to link without icons. And it takes a lot of time to do league SBCs.
 
8 wins out of 8 so far in the weekend league. Only 2 tight games so I’m quite happy so far.
Currently playing this in a 3412:

Courtois
Walker, Ramos, Varane
Futswap Antonio, Future Stars Foden, IF Eriksen, IF Robertson
Prime Best
UCL Son, Flashback Zlatan

I’ve changed one of my tactics to a copy of my standard 3412 only with constant pressure which I’m using together with ‘team press’ in the start of games in an attempt to steamroll opponents until I get a comfortable lead. Has worked brilliantly so far. It doesn’t create any stamina issues if using it for periods of the game, say 45-60 minutes of games.

WHat chem is Ibra on? I bring him on at kick off. He is such a beast.
 
Is that 8 because of the link with Best? That’s pretty good. Find it impossible to link him as i dont have an icon.
Yup. And yeah you need an icon to link him. You should try to get one just for the link. There are some decent cheap ones like base Gattuso, base Kluivert, base Butragueno, base Van Basten or base Henry.

Yeh i need to liquidate my squad because i have untold amount of players sitting around being saved for SBCs that never actually get used, and a few valuable players i could give up like Pogba, De Bruyne and Dybala.

Good idea. SBCs these days are mostly just for EA to remove coins from the market and very few are worth it. I think Zlatan is the best SBC there ever has been, but don’t expect there to be any similar SBCs in terms of value for coins in the near future.
 
Damn this game, I’ve now just taken to trying to do a rainbow flick over a keeper when I go one on one. Dominating people to absolute no end and just not getting the breaks or my usual shocking defending letting me down and just having thrillers. Won 1 game 8-7 scoring in the 122 nd minute.
 
Question: when you get to the 2000 points needed to qualify for weekend league do you have to use them within a time or do they stay until you want to qualify for a weekend league?
 
I used to love Crespo on 17, he has 5 star weak foot doesn't he? @P-Nut0712

I played 1 game with my new team last night and it was incredible. I played a pretty good player and smashed him 7-1. Shows the difference in a 150k to a 350k squad. Aubameyang was deadly.

Only problem is, I would fecking love that Rooney SBC but I'm skint now. Anyone tried him? Surely his work rates are a nightmare?

He is absolutely unreal, I didn't actually know about his 5* weak foot just been banging them in with his left thinking it was 4. Should make it even easier now.

I think I now see what many talk about as the EA WL virus, there are certainly occasions where it just screws you. Work Griezman clean through just to sprint on goal and instead of him opening up his legs it was like I was holding the tight dribble button as he refused to sprint.

Front post headers at corners and timed finishing from 20 yards out is becoming super annoying. Keep missing easy chances as well where I’m sure in a proper game I could score against DeGea blindfolded and drunk as hell in some of these positions but Mo Salah, nah he can’t. Rounded the keeper, squared up easy to put away and he slips it wide somehow?!

Ferland Mendy, surely the best LB in the game, he is incredible. Absolute weapon, wins everything and every race. Good in attack as well as I like working that little triangle between he Pogba and Martial and FIFA AI always commits the fullbacks and just leaves masses of space.

EL Alonso is by far the best premier league left back. I've been debating getting rid of Pogba and going Ligue 1 so I can get Neymar instead of IF Martial, but I just can't drop Alonso for anyone.

Yeah did it before starting weekend league and it's paying off. 99 acceleration and 99 sprint speed. Doesn't seem like it at all though.

Yeah good shout. I do like IF Cancelo but I've heard good things about Lala

Lala is unreal, changed my whole team dynamic when I brought him in.

8 wins out of 8 so far in the weekend league. Only 2 tight games so I’m quite happy so far.

Randomly looked at this thread to say I've started with 8 wins from 8 as well.

I did the same to get Crespo SBC done. You only need 86 squad as the highest so take a look at it and see if you can get it done in time.
 
@P-Nut0712 that’s the issue with chemistry styles, they are never as effective as the game claims them to be. I’m sure Mbappe without a chem style pace boost will be faster than any player with 90 pace and a hunter chemistry style.

I was looking at the prices of Neymar and Hazard last night and trying to think how I could construct a team but I love IF Martial. By far my most influential player or maybe it’s just that I prefer attacking from that left hand side.

I have both in loan cards so might try them out but if you go Ligue 1, Mendy he’s so good.

Hazard for me is terrible, he just doesn't have that X factor. Probably similar to Martial actually.

It's tough when you've got a front 3 of Martial, Crespo and Bale he's obviously a couple of tiers below.

Plus I've got FB Tevez and Ibra as well as untradable Aubameyang on the bench so it's really tough to keep him in the team.

I see your dilemma as my front 4 is still IF Martial-IF Rashford-IF Jesus-Mbappe. Salah and Griezman are just options off the bench so for me he is practically god at this point because I don’t really know any better.

I came across someone yesterday who had that same front 3 but Crespo was a pain in the ass, just couldn’t get the ball off of him and when I did somehow it still broke to him.

You on Xbox or PS4? In fact can't have been me I don't think as I didn't play yesterday

Xbox, I meant to say yesterday when you were mentioning Crespo to someone else I just played against someone with him and he Crespo was brilliant. When you mentioned Bale and Martial I started to wonder if it was you. I actually think this person took on FB Zlatan as well later on.
 
Potentially a very stupid question but if I got a 4K TV and a PS4 pro my current version of FIFA would work right?
 
Anyone done the SBC for the Saint Maxim card? If so any idea for a good team to build for that weekly objective?

Got a new team plan and I require him.

FS Lafont
IF Lala FS Upamecano Umtiti FS Mendy
Kante
FS Aouar————Pogba
FS Saint Maxim IF Mbappe IF Martial
Got gold 3, still got a few matches left but I just can’t be arsed pushing for 2 this weekend league stuff is too stressful thanks to EA shenanigans.

Doesn't mean much now as everyone has FB Zlatan :lol: you'll have to add me, don't think we've played before
 
You can do the Nakata SBC without an icon as a cheap way of getting one btw
 
15-0 so far in the weekend league. Great start, 3412 is working perfectly well. Let’s see if I can make Elite 1 for the first time in FIFA 19.
 
I've got no chance of finishing after starting 10-2 which is annoying. Working tonight and tomorrow night so I'm basically screwed even though they've extended it.
 
FIFA has really changed since I used to buy it because I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about
 
21-1 in the weekend league right now. This is probably going to be a massive jinx, but I’m actually starting to believe I can make top 100.

Edit: Finished elite 2, a bit disappointing but there was one game where I hit the post four times. I don’t blame myself:wenger:

I have come to the conclusion that flashback Ibra is the best card I have ever played against. I absolutely brick and cant stop him... Shame I decided to play some fifa too late and missed out on him, he would be perfect for how I play.

Stopped at 14 wins with around 10 to play as I didn't have much time. My team was much better this week but still some serious weak links. IF Militao, Telles etc were not too hot.

On a plus note, First time I used Paulinho, why is he so good? His finishing is unreal too :lol:
 
FB Ibra has genuinely spoilt the game. I've tried all sorts to try and deal with him. All the players with little skill use him and it really levels the playing field, yesterday he finessed from 180° into my top corner. Literally all he had to do was hit shoot and it was a goal.

Completely agree, although I wouldn't be complaining if I had him either :lol:
 
That Alphonso Davies Future Star card looks nuts :eek: Anyone using him?
