Gaming FIFA 19

Cutrone is a monster and well worth the money as a last piece in the puzzle player. However the HL Zapata is also a beast up front and around 1/3rd of the cost, good pace, 6'2 and 99 strength so he doesnt get shoved around by Varane, Ramos, VVD etc. Could be a stop gap while you strengthen the rest of the team. I use him at CAM in my 4231, basically as a second striker/target man and use Cutrone as the get in behind striker to finish the chances

I usually like my Strikers to be tall and strong with the people on the wings or behind them to be very very good dribblers. I'm actually pretty happy with how that team looks. Be hard to improve on the CMs for me as I think they are solid. Centre backs are great (hoping Jesus is as good as he looks). Cancelo at RM should be good both ways. If Gomez doesn't cut the mustard I may swap him for Zapata but I have been very surprised by Gomez since I started using him. Finishing says 74 or something but feels much better

Yup. For me he has something like 14 goals 14 assists in 40 games playing as CAM, but the assist count would be way higher if it weren't for passing between Mertens/Immobile a lot. Every single goal Gomez has scored has been a worldie, as I never quite got over longshots with my CAM, Fifa 10 Gerrard style.

I’m not sure I’m sold on Lala and he might get replaced for Meunier as with his inclusion for some reason now Aouar marks the front post at corners instead of Pogba and nothing else has changed bar the loss of Meunier.

Mendy by the way is an absolute weapon, there really hasn’t been anyone he hasn’t dealt with and Aouar is another that has been good, scores pretty much 2 every game just arriving in to the box after some sort of Mbappe, Griezman RB triangle.
He handles like a Neymar or Hazard but he can be a bit lightweight at times and can be pushed off the ball if anyone gets near him but his dribbiling makes that difficult for people.

How you finding Griezmann? I loved him for a time and then became bored of him and needed an upgrade
 
Who was it that has 92 Rivaldo? I've got the coins for him without selling Anderson and don't know whether he'd be worth getting over 90 Henry who I just used in a draft and he didn't impress me
 
I was going to get Bentancur but I have decided not to based on how much coins I have and how Cuadrado wouldn't suit the role in a 3412/352. I absolutely love Matuidi and Radja together so not worth forking out 400+ k for Bentancur.

Going for this team and I quite like the look of it

Handanovic​
Juan Jesus Koulibaly Manolas​
TIF Cancelo Nainggolan Matuidi Perisic
Gomez​
Cutrone Arnautovic HL​
That’s a quality team. The wide midfielders are really good and perfectly suited for the role.

2 star weak foot, I wouldn’t buy him.

Great team. I wouldn’t play Umtiti, he’s just too slow. Unless you have a very deep defensive line, in that case he could do a good job.

Kind of hate him but he seems to have found his place as a false 9 but I’m looking for a replacement, waiting to see if and what POTM Rashford looks like.

I just find Griezman as you say a little boring, no frills, no fun and he just doesn’t really seem to work that well for me but as a false 9 he is doing alright. I’m open to suggestions on a striker and GK.
 
Yup, I have five as well. Did the SBC one earlier. I can't wait for Jesus.

Did another SBC earlier & packed IF Fabregas. Took my reset day profit to a cool 230k~ :drool: Just need to get Jesus now so I can sell Benatia.
Who do you invest in?

I've just got my first ever WL rewards, Brandt and Kagawa as my picks (not too shabby) then in my packs I got Oblak, HL Ziyech and Pique was in there. Should have 400k, plus I stupidly invested in 10 OTW which I could sell, all ready for the PL POTM now.

I didn't invest in anything. I took tradeable packs from Division Rivals, pulled Neuer & a few other cards in the 4-10k range. Opened my weekend league packs, got Chiellini & Pique. Did the SBC, got IF Fabregas.

Just got lucky :D
 
Yeah only thing putting me off really, Stoichkov is another I've been looking at as well
The prime? Also just 3* wf. If I was going to pay that kind of money for a striker I’d at least want 4*. I had 90 Butragueno for a while and he’s amazing, I’d be looking at him instead, either mid or prime. His agility definitely makes up for a lack of strength.

It’s not really a high line but I constantly switch my tactics during match flow. Who would you’d suggest? did think about Ramos and Courtois but then I like Upacam (whatever his name is) the FS that plays for Redbull Leipzeg or Militao as I used him in a draft and he was incredible.

If you can get any of those mentioned FS players in the team then that’d definitely be an upgrade. If not I’d get Ramos/Courtois. Also a big upgrade in both positions.

The LW version. Although I'm also trying to figure out if there is a way for me to get Ibra in the starting line up using 2 central icons in that 451 attacking one that everyone starts with
 
It shows the lack of variety in shooting in Fifa that having a strong weak foot is so important. It should be an advantage to have a strong weak foot and not a necessity.
 
Where do you usually finish in the weekend league? I’ve finished Elite 3 or above in 90% of my weekend leagues, I’ve played almost every single one and the best picks I’ve had is Eriksen, Robertson, Szczesny and Donnarumma :mad:

Gold 1 usually, although there was one week I had 20 wins and lost 5 on penalties, only just getting over that heartbreak:lol:

I got really lucky in consecutive weeks I had Manolas and Joao Cancelo red picks as they instantly came in for their gold versions allowing me to spend elsewhere but have had nothing of note until Koulibauly this week which again allowed me to sell his inform for 100k.

Just purchased FS Cutrone for 300k odd, will see how he does this weekend.
 
Would anyone recommend that in form Rashford as a super sub option for normal 89 rated Aguero or would it not be worth the price? Badly want a United player in my team and the card looks sick.

I used him in a draft before and he felt exactly how Rashford should to be honest. Absolutely electric but finishing not always perfect.

Not over Aguero though? Planning on using him as a super sub in the 60th or something but seems a bit costly for that.

I didn't have Aguero for long as he just didn't work for me, I found Jesus better than him :lol: No reason it has to be a prem player if it's just a sub so look at some other options. Quite a few talking about Cutrone in here

For some reason people finishing gold 1 seem to get better rewards than elite. I’ll play until I reach gold 1 this weekend and just give away wins for the rest of my games.

Aguero has scored 283 goals for me in 285 games and 89 assists :lol: he’s been ridiculous once I have a CAM close to him to link up with. Play him in an isolated striker role with only wingers and he seems to suffer alright. I’ll check out Cutrone, cheers :)

Yeah, Upa what’s his face is probably the best option given he is French but I’m lacking in squad depth and need to address this, I do have a Thiago Silva card floating about.
 
Flashback Torres, eh? Doesn't look too great to me :(
 
58 balance and 80 composure probably ruins the card.

Plus linking a Spaniard in a Serie A team when he plays for some Japanese club sounds like hell for someone on a budget like myself. Huntelaar looks like a decent card to do as an off-the-bench option, though.

Any recommendations on where to improve on this, by the way? https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/5006871

I've 250k at the moment. Jesus I'll get when the next futswap players come in (just need one more). Hamsik is obviously in contention, but honestly, I'd rather save a little bit more than that takes & get Gattuso.

I could probably get Gattuso by dropping Gomez to his normal card, selling Hamsik (who Gattuso would replace), Benatia (who Jesus is replacing), and Sandro until next week. Edit: Scratch that, I still wouldn't be able to afford it :D

I wouldn’t downgrade/sell to get Gattuso. I doubt he’ll make a very big difference to your team.

I’d probably try to make a hybrid if I were you. The Serie A strikers aren’t very good in my opinion.

Matuidi would make your midfield more balanced, both of your CMs have high/med work rates. I think Matuidi would have a similar impact as Gattuso to be honest.
 
Don’t use him. Too small, too weak, too slow.
There is actually a new contender and he costs a lot less and might actually be the better all round defender HL Lucas Hernandez coming in at around 210k
Upamecano 360k
Militão 310k

Hernandez seems to have I would say the best balance out of the 3.
Upamecano has the fastest top end, slowest acceleration. Militao fastest acceleration slowest top end and then Hernandez falls between the two only downside is the physicality.

Ooh didn’t think of him. He’s not the strongest, but makes up for it with insane pace. I’d probably go for him. Just use whichever chem style that boosts strength the most.

Edit: just had a look at that Upamecano card, it looks absolutely insane. If you can’t affort him yet you can use Hernandez until you have enough for him. 93 sprint speed, 99 strength, 96 standing tackle:eek::wenger:

Gattuso is just one of those cards, like Nesta, I want because... Well, sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit :D

I did the Hamsik SBC anyway. Gonna try him out at CAM & will give Matuidi a shot in CM. Cheers.

Swap your side CB's

Well I’ve been toiling away and I kinda agree on the Upamecano and have been selling things and people in the club and have raised something like 230k so far. I’ve put some cards up that should go for around 50k so hopefully they sell and I’ll buy him. Will need to replace TerStegen as he screws up the chem with no Umtiti there and I really need to buy some sort of back up winger :wenger:

Yeah I almost binned off getting Henry to add Upamecano, Mendy and Lafont FS would make my defence unreal
 
So I was smashing through SBC’s, the nation ones in hope of getting some top class cards to sell and well.
Aubemyang
Immobile
Insigne
Muller
Were my top pulls but I got a load of others I could sell for decent price. I’ve kept Auba but currently I’m sitting on 320k and have 96 cards up for sale so when I wake up hopefully I have around 450-500k no clue how I got so lucky but got them one after an other.
