Gaming FIFA 19

I’ve been using Prime Rijkaard for a while now and whilst defensively he’s great, he does feel really slow and clunky. What would be the best chem style for that? Catalyst or Hunter maybe?
 
I might be a bit late to the party but I have noticed a way of telling whether or not ill like a player a lot easier. Balance & agility stats are what to look at

Look at reactions and composure too. Two stats that tend to be overlooked, but if someone is lacking in one of those he’s probably not going to be very good. There are a few exceptions though, flashback Zlatan has 44 balance and you can definitely feel it, but it’s still a great card.
 
your current team with George Best would be a thing of beauty

I'd be seriously happy if I got to that stage.

I've used him on Drafts and he's insane, it's like playing some arcade footy game. These guys that have some of the elite players have a huge advantage. TOTY Ronaldo, Neymar etc. they just move and perform totally different to your average-but-highly rated players.

I like good dribblers for my 3 CAM spots behind the Striker so that's where I want agility and balance and that's what to look for. I don't shoot from distance too often so don't mind the other stuff.

Zlatan has low balance but dribbling like messi isn't what hes good at
 
How can you tell who are pro players? I think I played a couple last night but don't know who's who on the pro gamer scene.


Well done on your first win! I'd recommend doing the advanced SBCs if you haven't already? You usually get a few decent pulls from them. Think mane, auba and Lacazette are a handful, wait until you play the Ibrahimovic flashback card!

Thanks! I didn't know about the advanced SBCs, did the basoc ones and looked at legends, etc... but I don't have enough players to complete those challenges, 80 rating or 77 in every squad I have to build... my main squad is 80 rating :lol:.

I guess I haven't seen the best card yet and will get whooped against them, but if I have at least scoring chances I don't mind losing that much, it was frustrating to lose 7-0 or 5-0 because if I pressed their fast players would destroy me and if I sit back then FS would tear me a new one, without any chance for me to have fun attacking.

Its a slog at the beginning if you insist on not paying for packs/drafts. Go to the catalogue and buy all the coins boosts. you will make 1500 coins per game roughly with them on

Look on Futbin on how to do SBCs if you can't figure them out.

Like @Emmet said, use your coin boosts from the catalogue, your team rating will raise quite fast as 82s are super cheap and some 83s also. What kind of league are you basing your team around?

Didn't know about the boost, thanks!.

Well, for starters I chose spain and got a bunch of decent players, then I got Pique from a pack so I'm starting around Spanish players/La Liga, so I'll stick to that for a while, maybe I'll work on the side for a Serie A fitness team.

Play squad battles etc if you and chose whatever level you feel comfortable with to get some packs/coins. Not sure what rewards are anymore. Get yourself on YouTube etc and search for 10k/20k teams or whatever your budget may be.
 
I think what makes them so effective is the angle and trajectory of the cross that you get from volley-crossing the ball while it’s in mid air. My friend claims the defenders for some reason can’t defend properly against those types of crosses, but not sure if I believe that.

It’s very easy to do. Get the ball out wide to a five star skiller, do the skill move (a berba spin while holding L1/LB and just cross it (might hold L1/LB to get a high cross, I think that makes it even more effective)

The problem with crossing to strikers is that from my experience they tend to move too close to the goalkeeper. Also, wingers/wide forwards are often up against sidebacks which is advantageous obviously. In FIFA 18 I had CR7 as a LF in a 4321 and I scored an unbelievable amount of goals crossing to the far post where he would dominate every sideback he came up against.

I wouldn’t build a team just around this style though. You could try a 4222 with good headers at the CAM positions, but it’s not that meta that you can rely solely on it in every game. It’s a nice asset to have in your repertoire though, and I’ve now adjusted my front line to suit it so let’s hope it works.

Thanks, that's really useful, I guess too that's why he had Ronaldo and Ibra at wide cams as they have good heading but also 5* skills to do the el tornado. Think I will practice them but not just try doing that in the matches.

Don't do it. Just play football and enjoy what you're doing, exploiting issues with the game over and over just seems so hollow imo. I celebrate for fun when i get the winning goal against these players.

I agree :D I'm not really looking to exploit it so much, but want to know how best to do it if I get in the situation to cross it.

How can you tell who are pro players? I think I played a couple last night but don't know who's who on the pro gamer scene.

When they whoop you 9 1 and have a super team :D I could tell the person was a pro level player soon into the game. It also felt as he had a perfect connection as the game felt really responsive, I usually have button lag unresponsive games most of the time but this one felt super smooth and I'm not even adjusted to the super responsive games as its usually so laggy for me.

If you want to see if they are pro players or top 100 players you can google their name and sites like futhead usually have rankings of the top level players. They guy I played finished 7th in the world this week.

I used to do this on Fifa 17 when I played a lot more. Beat loads of the pros, my problem was beating someone easy as I would play like a twat :lol:

Beat an Ajax player, Merlot?, Dragon, some guy with a name like THE???????? and few other top 100 guys.

You can build a mental Serie A team for 20k :drool: Perroti/Belotti/Verdi up front, all have 4*/5* WF. Allan in MF killing it. Cancelo/Dalbert at the back, Jesus in the middle. Good times.

I cant wait to get that Swap Juan Jesus!!!! Dream team at centre half

Hell yeah. I just can't decide whether to drop Manolas or Benatia... Or drop both and get TOTGS Koulibaly. HL Skriniar is undroppable for obvious reasons :drool:

I know the feeling, the last 6 of my weekend league games had a minimum of 5 either legends or future star cards with flashback Ibrahimovic in there.

Cheers I'll have to keep an eye out, I think I'll have beat someone in top 100 but got tonked off a few also.
 
Anyone fancy playing my FUT champs WL games this weekend? Pay dependent on final number of wins.
 
Ah right, I thought you were the poster that had millions of coins :lol:

Is Henry much cheaper or do you already have him? If you haven't done already, take a look at Shevchenko. His middle and baby cards look better than Larsson's. Prime Larsson is a beast though, I'd get him if I could because nobody seems to use him. I like to try and do it different to what everybody else is doing.

Baby Henry is around 500k prime Larsson is about 1.2M

Bottom one for me. Looks great :drool:


Decent, it's only his finishing which is worrying me really
 
Anyone else not received the free pack that you’re supposed to get for the number of days you’ve logged on?

Eh? Not even heard about that
 
I got 89 Bobby Moore in my pack. First icon I've ever packed, but probably gonna throw him in an SBC down the line.
 
Trash. Got the tier 4 rewards (rare mega pack) (you need to have played every single day since the start of early access I think to get tier 5. Dumb as feck). Best player was an 83, had like 2 or 3 others between 80 and 83, a few high 70s then a feck ton of contracts.

Same ‘reward’ - best player monreal! Brutal!

Yeah I got rare mega as well. I've got it as 130 days since it came out I think
 
I got the ultimate pack, cnuts gave me Bas Dost:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

30 Rare Gold Player.

2x 83 rated players.

Bas Dost.

Enjoy my money this edition, EA. It will be the last time.

Have you played every single day?
 
Only got a rare mega pack, no idea why. People who have played less than me seem to get ultimate packs.
 
Have you played every single day?
Nope. But logged in every day evidently on the web app at least. Pre-ordered too if that makes any difference. I use it to do the SBCs when i get 5 minutes away from family life or work :D

God knows, I've logged in most days on the app I'd say but guessed it meant console log ins

hmm a mate said you have to log in every day since day one pretty much, which i don’t think i have. I actually downed tools on it since mid december until now really, but web app i have been heavily involved with so it doesn’t suprise me.

I would say well played but I've seen your rewards and they are even worse than mine :lol:
 
Rare Mega Pack for me but I didn't log in last 2 weeks. First games with the new patch and I'm loving it.
Played 3 in Division 4, won 3. All games were close and I was outshot in them but I found it way easier to create chances. Was defending made more manual along with removal of timed finesse? Even played my first game on semi-assisted shooting and passing because I changed it the last day I played in a rage and forgot.

Dare I say, its actually a good game now?

It is much better I find, and the defending isn't more manual however, due to not just blocking the same space all game people now drag their defenders into places they shouldn't.
 
@Lemansky what TOTW cards should I be targeting as investments during this promo? Got 400k to try and invest and make some profit
