Gaming FIFA 22

I started using a 4222 tactic last night and destroyed people with it. Before changing I was drawing 6/7 out of 10.

My last game of 4222 I won 8-2 in div 2.

Courtois
Walker Gomez Militao Mendy
Scholes Keane
Salah Sane
Gomez Mane

Hero Gomez is insanely good, wins loads in the air and his finishing is class, with a hunter on him he feels nippy enough to not be left in the dust as well.
 
Going alright, will probably try and push for the next rank but the motivation to do it when the TOTW is so bad just not there. Would like them to add silver seasons or bronze for a bit of variety kind of sick of seeing the same faces every game but even then people would just use the most meta silvers/bronzes.

Edit: Saying that just looked at my team and arguably mine would be seen as a meta squad :lol: Not intentionally as they're all untradeable but my team is 433(3)
Lloris
RTTK Traore Kimpembe OTW Upamecano Davies
Wijnaldum RTTK Silva Goretzka
Messi Ole Coman
Very meta, do you do lots of SBC's? Very good team.

And yeah, everyone uses the meta a lot. I try to stay away from it and not watch YouTubers but there is no staying away from it really when a 84 Werner just tears you down.

May I just ask how you managed to get Messi already? I don't know what I do wrong but never achieve players of that ilk. Currently rocking a Serie A team that I'm pretty happy with.

I've not got Messi, but I could if I wanted to. It's all from trading, start of the game you can make thousands an hour, this edition has been a little slower as the market is basically dead already. Players that were worth over 100k last year are now selling for 3-4k

I see, I only picked it up a week ago so maybe missed the peak. I've not done too bad but I feel unless I get into trading and can sit Infront of the web app all day I will just never get the very best players.

I don’t think UT is geared toward the casual player. It’s gotten better this year in terms of pack luck I think so if you are a casual you’ll get better players than I can remember you getting before but for the top top players it still requires a bit of attachment to the game which some casuals can’t give.

Do the basics like Marquee matchups, normally the value dailies they put up like the 55k pack they did last week. Typically avoid the gamble sbc like the 75 player picks but sometimes indulge if I get bored.

The PSG lot and Davies I got in the 2 100k from milestones. The rest are from rivals rewards apart from Ole who I bought.
 
Been playing Ultimate team since it began. Never packed anything good, now just packed CR7 but he’s a bit meh. Are any of the cheaper icons like Keane/Scholes any good?

Scholes I thought was good the first few weeks but sold him recently as he started feeling a bit useless on the pitch. Keane is always a solid defensive midfielder, but I haven't felt the need to upgrade from someone like Partey yet tbh.

Cheers. I find them so tedious but it is the best way to make money probably or get good players.

Most base/mid Icons are quite shit. I tried Keane 88, and his balance and agility is a nightmare.

Unfortunately, FUT has all been about pace, power, agility and balance for years now. Most Icons who fit that bill are ludicrously expensive.
 
Talk to me about formations and tactics, gents. I was experiencing a lot of success with the 442 (2) but it appears to have run out of steam and I’m struggling to find an alternative. Anyone working with anything decent?

Yeah feel the same about CR7 but not many other options that fit for me instead, Hero Robbie Keane is quite good though if you're looking for a forward, you could probably afford him & Kante who's better than both Roy & Scholes in the middle for CR7 money. That new RTTK Fred is good too.

41212 narrow is working brilliant for me at the moment.

Start 451 then switch in game.

Ter stegen
Jesus navas
Militao
Kounde
Rousillion
Casemero
Portu
Nkunku
Fekir rttk
Inaki Williams record breaker
Hero morientes

Not amazing by any means but they are all very solid on what I need them to do.

2 standouts are casemiro who is an amazing stay back player. He intercepts everything and his tackling is fantastic and morientes who just scores for fun.

Will be hard to recommend anything without knowing your play style and team. Also when you say run out of steam what do mean? Are struggling to score or keep clean sheets? 4231 has been solid for me in the higher divisions leak less goals as it seems to be giving me a bit more defensive stability and it’s my defensive preset so typically have my full backs on stay back.

4312 press on heavy touch when chasing the game is also very effective for me. Feel like you need good attacking full backs for the whole benefit of the formation as they seem to be the ones that give you width going forward. Forwards stay central, get in behind and stay forward. CCM stay back while attacking, full backs get forward when attacking and everything else stays the same. Is a bit suicide ball because it does tend to leave you vulnerable at the back but if it’s 70 mins and you’re losing it’s been perfect for me.

Is Robbie Keane not a little bit small for this game? Bigger strikers seem strong this year

Has anyone tried Barnes as a striker?

Depends on play style I suppose but I don't think so, especially in higher divisions I've not noticed half as many Lukaku's/Haaland as there seemed to be when it first came out.

I love my Keane and Scholes midfield axis but its not meta at all. Scholes passing and long range shots are insane and Keane bullies everyone in the tackle, but neither are great dribblers or quick across the ground.

The 4222 shouldn't be too far off what you are using now, I've had crazy success with it, going from stuck in a rut drawing pretty much every game to breezing through games scoring 4 or more pretty much every game.
 
I fiddled with the sliders and now I almost like this game. Just falls foul of the same nonsense AI rubbish as pes 2021 did. That and the shooting just isn't right somehow.
 
Finished rank 1 FUT Champs, rank 1 FUT Champs Qualification and promoten to the Elite Division within 24 hours. This feels awesome.

Fred RTTK is huge, Kante - light.
 
TOTW sbc for the chance to earn probably at max 7 valuable cards :lol: 70 chem too. Going to need leagues soon to scratch the sbc itch.
 
Any Serie A strikers you can recommend apart from IF Osimhen? Want to play with two strikers, but haven't found a good partner so far.
 
Should have mentioned that I already play Dybala behind the two strikers. Milito is too expensive unfortunately. Has anyone tried IF Ilicic?

Unfortunately not but just futbinned him and he looks a bit of a beast 6”3, 5* skills fantastic long shots stats, outside the foot and long shot traits with flair too. Looks great at CAM or ST tbh and at 14k can’t go wrong really.

I haven't checked how much he is but I've had issues against RTTK Immobile but beyond that I wouldn't say there are many great serie A options at striker. In fact there's a bit of a gap in most leagues at striker unless you're willing to splash serious coins

Depending on how you play, my final answer is; IF Ilicic, base Immobile or base Mertens.

I really like Benzema at #10 in my 4231, so I'd be inclined to put Ilicic there and then play Dybala and Osimhen in front of him. Though to be honest I have only tried Osimhen from those three yet.
 
Pope
James / Soyuncu / Zouma / Chillwell
Soucek / Vlasic / Doucoure
Pepe / Jesus / Barnes

I have 26k, best way to upgrade? Thinking of getting Foden as I loved his loan card. Really good.
