I have 26k, best way to upgrade? Thinking of getting Foden as I loved his loan card. Really good.
He's awesome. Consider Foden, Fred, Sancho, Allan, Shaw/Telles, Godfrey.

Have a look at Rudiger, Allan, Raphinha and Jota too.

cheers both, managed to do some SBCs and sold a bunch of players I got from packs in the club to be able to afford some better players.

Ederson
Cancelo / Rudiger / Romero / Shaw
Allan / Foden / Doucoure
Raphinha / Jesus / Jota

Not ready to let go of Doucoure yet, I really enjoy playing with him - he’s great at shooting.

Good team mate! Should definitely improve with that team.
 
So I still can't keep a clean sheet and still score about 4-6 goals every game in carreer mode. I think 6-2 might be my most common result. Such a weird game. Defending gets worse and worse every year.
 
I’m bored of my la Liga/french hybrid team but I don’t want to change it as I’m having a lot of success.

I’m just scared if I use another team or change it around too much it’ll not feel or flow the same and I’ll start losing again. :lol:
 
Took the plunge last weekend after a few of the guys at work were bigging this years up compared to the last few. Have to say they were right, until i reached D3 in rivals, and it became the same sweatfest that the last one i played (20) was.

I swear every team has a high pace back 4, all with shadow chem, and then the special Fekir card up front.

I'm not spending any money though, with the rewards supposedly much better than before and me being pretty happy with my team already i'll just upgrade as and when I can.

Current line up

Maignan

Di Lorenzo
Skriniar
Manolas
Sandro

Vidal
Barella

Chiesa
Dybala
Insigne

Immobile

I want Koulibaly instead of Manolas, and probably a better keeper, but other than that I am pretty set for the time being
 
Anyone got recommendations for the SBC which requires 11 leagues? Needing loyalty for it seems like a ball ache.
 
I had hero Milito but I had no idea what was good so I sold him to fund my Prem team.

I'm OCD about getting the highest rated players so I have the below starting 11, even though they aren't necessarily the best players for the game. Next move I'm aiming to get Kante to replace Lukaku, for a more solid formation, might take me a while to save up enough.

Kane Lukaku
Sterling Sancho
De Bruyne Bruno
Robertson van Dijk Días Trent
 
Finding division 3 easier than division 4. Thought it was going to be a big jump, but players are just more clinical, whilst playing more expansive football.

Feel like I could hit division two and then I’d have to spend serious money to go any further.

I love this game for the most part. It looks a bit shit and doesn’t play as tight as I like it to but it’s still comfortably best football game to date.

Before anyone says PES 4 or some other hipster shit — I challenge you to whip that trusty PS2 out and see the difference.

Well the way division’s are set up this year with no relegation, you are probably playing people from div 4 or even 5 as most of the higher level players are already higher up, people who were forever a certain division last yearkeep on moving up as the better players will move up by playing them and they will eventually play players at there level and move up, it’s why it all resets at the end of the season again.
 
That was a mistake. Dont do it guys. Packed Smith Rowe I guess. 6 discards basically.

I've hit that wall at div 2. I know I can move up if I put some serious time into it, but haven't got the motivation to do it. That or move away from my Keane and Scholes axis and go more meta, but where is the fun in that.

Considering picking up Vidic now as I've got the coins, and the next one I want after that is Ferdinand who is so much more expensive and Rooney who is basically end game aims.

What’s your team at the minute? I wish I didn’t chop and change and eventually lost most of my coins. :(

I need to put a bit more time into the game too as I only play to get enough wins for the weekend league which is not a lot obviously. Feel like the sense of jeopardy is gone with no relegation and I wish they would bring it back.
 
Currently top 5% of Elite players. Each game is a chore, most players don't even try to play football, just exploit the high through ball to Mbappe. It's so boring. Might just relegate myself to Div 1

Foden is great, he seems to get tired during games quicker than my other players though. I really like Bernardo Silva. Foden and Silva are my midfield 2.
 
packed IF mount and IF rice I didn’t have much expectations but both are doing really well for me in Div 2.

I move mount to CM in game and he’s everywhere on the pitch. Scores, assists and can track back. Rice is on stay back at CDM and he’s very good at winning the ball back. not bad for 2 discard informs.
 
At the end of this current season in 2/3 weeks you will drop down one division (along with everyone else). So try to stay in Division 1 if it's more comfortable.

I'm struggling to win in div 2 at the minute so won't be rushing to get promoted from 3 when I drop in!
 
I don’t understand all this packs shit. I only ever played FIFA against mates or online seasons. Play a few matches, log off, gradually climb divisions. Never spent a penny in game. Is everyone discussing ultimate team? I’ve never tried it.

They’ve actually done a decent job at making Ultimate Team playable for people who don’t spend money in the game this year.
 
That Kante is tempting I’ve got a ton of fodder.

Weirdest SBC I’ve seen for a while I think. His base cards passing is awful so they should have improved that and reduced the defending/physical. They’ve also made him pretty expensive, he won’t be far off price wise from his normal card which looks way better. They’d have been better off making him an 85 and much cheaper to appeal to more people. This Kante sort of sits in the middle without much upside.

His gold doesn't actually look way Better thats the thing. Seriously go check His in game stats they are actually better on this flashback than his normal gold in the stats that matter for this game.

Better pace
Better dribbling

I did him anyway I had a ton of untradables I've been holding onto for ages. I only had to buy a benzema at 22k.

Huge drop in aggression though and his work rates are ruined too by making him high attacking. His pace has never really been an issue either, I'd be surprised if he feels noticeably quicker. His base card always feels quicker than his card says anyway. The drop in passing will be a killer too as it's already a huge weakness for the gold card. I hope he's randomly better than his normal card because I'd love to do him but can't really justify it for that card unless hes playing way better than he looks.
 
Not really been in here.
My team is:

https://www.ea.com/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app/?showoffId=j5C9v1RYnYqI5:FFA22PCC

But I play 352 and it looks more like

neuer
Mukiele - kohler - tapsoba
Barella - goretzka - kimmich - theo
Di natale
Milito - Dybala

my current tactic is unreal. Absolutely shredding people. Breezed rank 1 in qualifiers. Smashed everyone in elite division tonight.

dybala and kimmich are so good

Too early to judge fully of course but having used him a couple of games in Div 2 against solid opponents he’s essentially Kante As silly as it sounds, Meaning he’s brilliant in game.

I’ve put a shadow on him so his defensive awareness is buffed and his pace is pretty much maxed out and he’s as solid as ever, the ball is like a magnet to him and he just somehow gets in the way probably due to his 99 interceptions. Just have him instructed as stay back CDM and he’s not bombing forward which is good.

so far so good though I’ll try him more tomorrow though.
 
Just had a very successful foot champs qualification. Won every game but one and got to the top rank for the first time, while playing pretty well along the way. Of course as usual I packed no one but good to know I can churn out big pressure results.
 
Am I the only one who plays FIFA just for the career mode? They did a decent job this year with the gameplay
 
I just packed Cristiano Ronaldo on a tradable pack. Should I keep him or sell him to improve my team? My current team is Martinez Cancelo Rudiger Gomez Shaw Ziyech Allan Pogba Rashford Bernardo Silva Ronaldo.

Keep him. He's as good as you get at striker.
