You should probably look it up on youtube, it’s tricky. You shoot like a normal finesse, but hold L1/LB while powering up the shot. So you start off with holding R1/RB, and then you power up the shot, and just after you have started pressing O/B you hold L1/LB. You can also tap the shoot button when you strike the ball to get it timed. Takes a while to get it into your muscle memory. I’m still struggling, way too often it becomes a low driven. I think I’ll go into some skill games and practice.

Bear in mind, some people believe you have to release R1/RB before pressing down L1/LB, but I believe it’s false, at least according to youtuber Krasi.

I quite like low driven in the box anyway so maybe I wont bother as I'm used to that. I don't touch it outside the box though unless I'm timing it for a 30 yarder and afraid of blazing it

I'm actually glad to hear its a struggle to score.. Realistically, this patch should play into my hands as I nearly walk it in the net. We will see I suppose :lol:

Itching to play this weekend but don't think its possible! Need to nag the missus :lol:

To be honest I had a go at trying finesse last night and if you are good at timing then it’s just as easy from what I could tell. It just doesn’t give you as big a margin of error but I was still getting the occasional yellow timed to nestle in the top corner.
So maybe not every Tom dick and Harry will be able to score at a moments notice from 30 yards out with their back to goal but if you get the green great timing then that sucker is in the back of the net.

Other than that having absolutely no problems scoring and it’s just the same as usual of playing through people and banging it in, chip, slot, pass whatever have found actually if you are in the 6 yarder and don’t have the angle chip to the back post and I always seem to have someone there.

Picks were awful but I did get VDK in one of my pacs so that’s like 120k right there.
 
So after playing a lot of games after the patch and a bit of skill games as well I’ve come to the conclusion that right now it seems like timed finesse shots and volleys are the only viable options outside the box. When you get inside, depending on your angle, either a low driven finesse or a regular shot with around 2 bars of power will work. It seems like you have to release the R1/RB button @Emmet in order for it to work. So it’s really tricky.

Don’t shoot regular shots or low driven finesse shots outside the box! They hardly ever work.

Sweet!
 
Okay so I’ve played 6 games with my new team in div rivals and I’ve absolutely steamrolled everyone except for one. 5 wins and 1 draw against a lucky bastard who had 1/3 as many shots on target as me. Anyway, my point is that it’s not just due to the new team that I’m doing well, but mostly because I’ve figured out how to score.

How to score after the patch
Inside the box:

Don’t:
  • Shoot low drivens. The % of shots that don’t go in is way too big.
  • Shoot regular finesse shots. There are better options
Do:
  • Shoot low driven finesse. Explanation on how to do it below. This can be used in a variety of angles.
  • Shoot regular shots with low-medium power (around 2 bars? I don’t play with the bars displayed so don’t really know). This shot is very effective in situations where you’re close to the goal. It’s accurate and it rarely fails.
  • Crosses/headers. It’s not the new meta despite what some people on Reddit say. It’s the same as it always has been in FIFA19. Good, but I wouldn’t focus on it in game. L1 cross seems to be the most effective. Get as close as you can to the target before crossing, and don’t be afraid to cross from deeper positions
Outside the box:

Don’t:
  • Shoot regular shots. They’re usually saved.
  • Shoot low driven finesse shots. They’re terrible from long distances (they might work around the edge of the box though, but not any further away than that)
  • Shoot low driven shots, obviously.
Do:
  • Timed finesse shots. Apart from volleys it’s the only option you can consistently rely on to score you goals from distance. After the patch it’s slightly more difficult to hit green, and if you hit yellow or red the shots usually won’t go in. You can’t shoot from ridiculus angles anymore. I’m not sure about hitting shots first time though, I assume it’s nerfed, but might work if you’re attempting with someone with high shooting.
  • Volleys. They go in occationally.

How to shoot low driven finesse:

I could post a youtube video, but they always take forever to get to the point, and to try and save you some time you can just read this.

  • Hold R1/RB and load up the desired amount of power. It should be quite a lot of power, probably around 3 bars. This step is just like shooting a regular finesse shot.
  • When you’ve loaded up the shot, release R1/RB and then immediately press and hold R1/RB and L1/LB
That’s it. It’s a very tricky technique because you’ll have to do it very fast. I tried to learn it through playing games, but it was only after I spent 20 minutes playing skill games (advanced shooting challenges) that I got it implemented into my muscle memory. You need to practice this in skill games in order to get comfortable with it. I’d do it asap because after the patch you really need this shooting technique in your arsenal if you’re going to score a lot of goals.

Most of the goals I scored yesterday when I won every game I played I scored goal after goal of normal shots from outside the box.
 
Really hope they focus on career mode in FIFA 20.

A player career which contains elements of the journey would be good.
 
Just completed the Nesta SBC, woop! He was a monster for me last year, so hopefully this will mean more points in the WL.

To whomever it was that was upset that I hadn’t given Scholesy no. 18, he and Nesta have both been given the numbers with which they are associated.

@Arbitrium

You'll have to let me know how he does, I could possibly replace Ramos with him, but can't see the upgrade being that much to be honest.
 
Anyone used 87 Felipe Anderson? I've got the coins to get his OTW card and can't decide whether or not it would be a good card to pick up whilst risking a bit extra on him getting another IF before the game ends

I’ve used him for a few games on a friends account and he’s very good. Worth the price if you ask me.

I rather they focus on pro clubs. That’s a mode they can make money from.

Also the games ridiculous from no look shooting to now el tornado and cross back post.

They should also bring back 5vs5 Fifa street skill mode.

There’s still a lot they could do with Fifa but they focus on the wrong shit every year. I don’t give a donkeys about pack animation. I hope the rest of the countries follow suit with Belgium and ban packs.

I played someone doing that tornado and back post cross the other day, beat him 6-1 and he still just carried on doing the same shit.

Yeah I can't decide between his OTW or 3IF 87 card. He'd have to score 2 and assist another to get a 4th IF but if he does, that is an end game card instantly.

The price difference is only 50k so I guess it depends on how much you need those coins and how likely you are to keep him. He hasn’t scored or assisted in his last five games, so I don’t think him scoring twice and getting an assist is going to happen very soon. Also, the potential fourth inform is unlikely to be a massive upgrade on the third. Informs this year are usually only minor increases, especially compared to previous years.

:lol: Nice, it’s just people looking in the wrong places for a new meta and/or believing in everything they read on reddit and see on youtube. It’s a quite effective cross, but definitely not a new game-breaking mechanic.

Yeah, no meta will beat playing a striker clean through on goal. On that note Crespo is the best player I've ever used on any FIFA except the legend that is Miccolli on like FIFA 12 :lol:

Yeah not really going to upgrade anywhere else apart from maybe Pogba at some point but that can wait I suppose. May as well take the risk on the difference, as any good game his OTW will shoot up whilst his normal will drop so I can keep switching between them to get a profit
 
So i had pulisic as my RW but i wasnt convinced because his passing isnt consistent, so i changed Guilavogui 84 and brought Kroos 91 back to the team, and solved the RW problem in the following way:

Full chem squad, this is the ingame formation.

Too bad i dont have time to play WL this weekend so tomorrow i will use my new signing in a couple of rivals matches. Ive read good reviews about him so i cant wait to play a few matches tomorrow :D

He's class, I've just sold him for Mbappe, but sort of regretting it, couldn't get him on full chem with the rest of my frenchies though.

EDIT: I've still got his champion card saved for WL when I'm losing late on actually. Might have to pull that out this weekend as I've got a weekend without the Mrs around. The aim is elite 3, but I haven't lost a game since last WL so hopefully I can push higher.
 
Ended up coming back this week once i saw the reviews of the new patch. I'd kept my team and coins, and had done some trading and sbcs in the meantime to keep the team relevant for when i inevitably came back.

Love the patch. No more ridiculous, undefendable finesse shots is great. Crossing isnt meta either, despite how often people try it now. My cbs are TOTGS Koulibaly and Benatia, both with anchor chem, both have high 90s in jumping and heading stats with that chemstyle, and i havent conceded from a cross or a corner in 10 games.

Obviously a new meta will be established soon, but until then i can enjoy fifa again.

https://www.futhead.com/19/squads/540962/

Thats the current squad. Sancho is ridiculous, and Cutrone is the best striker I have used so far. I have 124k leftover, which I plan to save and use for the TOTGS Dybala in place of Mertens, but so far this team has just shat on everyone

Any recommendations on the trading?

I mainly trade with IFs.

The safest route is buying them at as close to discard as possible and wait for a good sbc.

I usually don’t do discards anymore. I look at 84s, 85s, 86s and 87s (also some 83s) and compare their prices to other prices in these categories.

It also helps if they are from a good league/nationality and have decent links.

An added bonus is if the card is just not sbc fodder but also has demand from people wanting them in their team.

Usually 'corner position' work great, like LB, RB or ST. You can add them to an SBC without losing too much chemistry, compared to a foreign CDM for example. Therefore sometimes players with a poor link but having one of those positions work just fine.

Start off with discards of prices are low. Guideline: 81 rated IFs for under 12k and the closer to 10k the lesser the risk.
 
@P-Nut0712 Felipe Anderson is the player I hate coming up against most (apart from Ibra). He seems to rip me to shreds every time. Get him!

After some wheeling and dealing I think I can make this team. Will be 41212 as I am reverting to what I have used for years and no longer care about making space from wide with 4231.


I could easily change the left hand side. I only care about Nainngolan from the left hand side really. So if any tips let me know.
Fahrmann​
Carvajal Varane Boateng Alaba
Goretzka
Modric Nainngolan
Reus
Bale Werner SIF

I'd be getting rid of all of Alaba, Boateng and Fahrmann to be honest. Alaba isn't value for money at all and Boateng is far too slow. Can you get IF CB Hernandez for the same price as Boateng? I've not tried him but his 84 sprint speed should be very nice.

Or if you can get Manolas into that team @Emmet. 15k and he’s the best value for money defender in the game imo. Someone at the most recent pro players event used him ahead of players like prime Maldini.

I would swap them out in a heart beat if Nainngolan played for Roma would be so much easier. Can you guys try help me get Manolas in? I used him a while back and thought he was great to be fair
 
Absolutely zero enjoyment for me now after the patch. I’m not even doing worse I’m just fecking hating it.
 
Thought about it and I'm happy with Manolas on 8 chem! Actually quite fancy this team

Team in game will be this:

Courtois​
Carvajal Varane Manolas Sandro
Nainggolan​
Modric Perisic
Dybala
Leao Bale​

No stress man! It’s so many ways making coins. I have 13 mill plus transfer profit atm. I never spend money on FIFA points, so I enjoy my stacked team when I build it.
 
I think I'm the only person who likes using David Silva. Slow as hell but he just constantly pops up in the exact right place in the box to finish chances

I haven't used the team yet but I like the look of it! Havent really used a lot players this fifa to be honest but I loved him last year or the year before. Didn't even check but I'm assuming he has 5* weak foot still.

Only realy problem I have is Leao. He is decent but don't have the coins to have someone in ST, so have to use Mariano(Madrid) and sub him out
