Gaming FIFA 19

Does anyone watch Nepenthez? I like the guy sometimes but he keeps banging on about this crossing meta. All he looks at for attackers now is their bloody jumping and heading stats as well as the height. There's always something to exploit.
 
That Alphonso Davies Future Star card looks nuts :eek: Anyone using him?

One of the best players ive used

My front four now consists of POTM reus CAM - Davies LW - Griezmann ST - Blue Pulisic RW

the only one i need to improve is Pulisic. Im dreaming of a FB Robben, actually im collecting every +83 bundesliga player i can, i just have a hunch they will release him!

That'd be a nice card for sure. Mbappe feels sluggish as feck for me so far.

Every time I play against him he out strips my 86 Lala yet I got absolutely rinsed off a Carvajal today. Don't know how to improve it at all.

I've been using crossing for a while now, it is a great counter to the players that just spam timed finesse cause that's all they defend against.

Loving my current squad. I wish i had more time to play on weekend leagues, i finished 8-1 this weekend which forme is historival as ive never got any better than gold 2. I think i could had better that with my current form but had to do other stuff.

Anyway this is a fun pacey squad and im really enjoying it

You not looking to do the 90 Reus? That card looks great

I find this as well with him, I think he is 97 rated speed and to me he doesn’t feel as fast as you would think. It still bugs me that you can feed a ball in to space and somehow a 65 speed defender seems capable of keeping pace, getting in front of him and just ushering him off the ball.

If I’m receiving the ball with him now I load up that fake shot and it gives you that little speed boost but it’s still ridiculous.

Yeah I need to start using the tapping method to knock the ball a little further away from me, which seems to make you sprint slightly faster.
 
Played a couple of games when I got in from work to get to gold 2, gotta agree with what @Macern said earlier about starting on team pressing and more attacking to get ahead and then dropping back to a normal style of play afterwards. Works a treat. Mbappe came alive playing that way as well, people just couldn't get close to him, on the transitions.

Id love to have him but it takes almost 900k to do which i cant afford now and also i think that the 88 reus cost me 350 k which dont compensate if i use him in the higher card sbcs, which sucks
 
Hoping I get something half decent in these packs on Thursday or I think ill just jack it in. Was thinking how long it would take me to build a capable team and I reckon it would take about another 4-5 weeks of playing with crap to get there.

Take coins from the rivals rewards makes you fly up the amount of coins you've got much quicker. Make 100k a week easily

Yeah I have only done that once so far, last week. TOTW probs be pants this week and ill end up with useless feckers again
 
Does anyone that doesn’t play FUT often fancy gifting me some coin boosts? :wenger:

I tend to change during the game and in certain instances I’ll go constant press and and fast build up like when they are taking a goal kick or if he is just popping it about in defence or if I really need a goal. That’s ultra attacking, and then I have attack set up just for counter attacking so when he or she has attacked heavy and I regain possession a couple of tight passes and bodies are flooding forward and normally if I switch the play the winger or full back is in acres of space but this is where I find that lack of difference between 65 and 97 annoying as although I’m in space there is no way anyone should be getting close to Mbappe.
Balance is just a conservative 424 and the other two are just variances of depth defending for 442 seems to work well.

Define capable? I've played UT for less than a month, and half of that time has been spent with what I'd consider a very capable team.

I did just mix up the defence, though. Swapped Thiago Silva/Telles/Ederson for Benetia/Sandro/Handanovic. Handanovic has already pulled off some wonder saves :drool: Just need to decide on the other CB now.

Manolas!!!!!!
 
Manolas!!!!!!

My mate said Manolas/Skirinar/Benatia are the 3 to go for, but I really want Cheilini for reasons I can't explain.

If you're saying Manolas too, sigh, I'll do it :lol:

Tempted to swap from my 4-3-2-1 to something like this: https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/4688767 ... I just fancy a change right now.

5212 is actually a very good and underrated formation. If you have the wingbacks on get forward it’ll play similarly to a 3412 which I’m using. That team looks very good.

Capable to compete with multi million coin squads. If I play a player on par with me for example... he is going to have a massive edge due to the fact he will have an unreal squad and ill have my 350-400k team.

I only play weekend league, the rest is pants

That looks awesome, I absolutely hate playing against 3 at the back totally just blunts how I play but I’ve always found this even when playing against the computer I probably should have evolved by now :lol:

Has anyone used Radja Nainggolan, I played against someone using him the other day and it was basically the Radja show. He was everywhere breaking up play and getting back at people then he was banging in goals. I’ve never seen a performance like it, it was like all his stats were on 99.

I feel you man.
Just keep playing though and you’ll have a decent team soon enough. My skill rating is just above 2500 and I feel like I’m the only one in my division with a team below 10 million, mine is worth 3.15 mil. I still manage though, almost made elite 1 last weekend. Having played against you before I reckon you shouldn’t be far behind once you get a slightly better team.

When you get the Varane, Ramos and Courtois triangle you’re going to do a lot better.

How are you doing in the WL with your current team?

This is annoying my squad must be worth say 1.5mil and last night I came across some Uber squad with 4 TOTY 2 icons and then he had like POM Hazard, Bale and Messi to call upon. I swear the only reason he won was due to the squad and some sloppy finishing from Rashford.

I was playing him off the park having chance after chance and he managed to score 3 absolutely rubbish goals where he was just getting lucky breaks from rebounds and forcing it over the line.

Do you do any market diving? I’ve made a fortune selling bronze cards for like 2k and eventually that adds up. I managed to buy Lemar yesterday for 2.1k and immediately turned round and sold him for 8k. All adds up in the end.

Cheers guys, I'll give it a go. A bit short on the funds for Dybala, but Alejandro Gomez is pretty much like-for-like anyway. Will do for now.

I much prefer Hamsik to Nainggolan for what it's worth, but that's because he better suits my playstyle, and I love having that midfielder that can absolutely nail a ball (Gerrard style :drool:).

I am overachieving I think. So far in the 2 weekend I have played I have just stopped after getting the auto qualification at 14 wins. Had 9 games left at the weekend there. Yeah I know ill get there but its a slog at the minute. Cant play this weekend so will se if I miss it then that will make my decision :lol:

I'm never on mate. Get on at the weekend and try squeeze in 20 games between Fri-Sun so I wouldn't dabble in the transfer market as it would just take up my time :(

I liked Naingolan btw, just couldn't get him into a team I wanted as his strong links are shite
 
Any suggestions on improvements or how tonturn it into a hybrid which improves weaker positions such as defence, ST and RW?

https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/4694889

Could go full on France & swap Doucoure for Kante, & Willian/Rashford for Mbappe/Griezmann. Wouldn't have to sacrifice any sort of links, either.

They all seem to be pretty popular player choices, so I guess they're good :D
 
Made a decision, came across an Aouar going for 650K and the cheapest I’d seen previously was starting at 790 so going to see how it plays out and hopefully I’ll get it for not much over 750.

Had to pay more than I wanted but 790k, put him straight in the team and changed to a 433 and he scored within the first 3 fifa minutes. He feels ridiculously agile and fast and he was picking out passes like they were nothing. Got an assist as well.

But man, it's NESTA! :drool:

New team is a bit all or nothing in my games so far. I'm either 3-0 up after 25 minutes or I'm getting pounded like a cheap escort :lol:
 
Me today: "Hmm, Gomez is so good to play with... Is Dybala really worth the extra? What about a better Gomez card? Oooh, new TOTW on Reddit! ... :eek::eek::eek:"

Time to save for that 87 IF Gomez.

He was unreal last season as well. I need a new IF Martial card to complete my team now really
 
I'll have to give Dybala a proper go to compare the two. The difference in shooting stats might be the decider for me given how I play.

Gomez is miles better than Dybala was for me. Played about 300 games with his FUTMAS card and about 100 with Dybala. Dybala's weak foot kills him.
