Gaming FIFA 22

Lost about 150k on my Di Natale....happy days.

he‘s great anyway So I’m not too fussed.
 
Anyone seen the EA market manipulation theories?

Supposedly all the big cards randomly went up 100-200k in the space of minutes whilst being in the middle of a freefall. Then they started falling again.
 
I’d guess it’s impossible to have 3 mil transfer profit without either being very good at trading, getting very lucky in packs or spending a fortune. I’ve spent hundreds and my transfer profit is about 4 mil.

I'm neither, just relist a shed load and try and pick up players when they are low. Until the recent boom (which has now gone bust again thanks to the 81-86 preview pack) fodder was dirt cheap. The hero sbc made everything rise which was a lot of profit, also Diop RTTK was a big earner, picked loads up for around 14k and sold when he went near extinct. Requires a lot of paitence and holding for a good few weeks but there is still profit to be made.

I've currently only got 50 cards on my TP, and I've sold hardly anything for about a week, but they'll sell eventually and they are all up for 5-10k more than their price now.

it wouldn’t surprise me if EA did something like this.
 
Have the 50k preview packs been removed ? I can’t see them anymore
 
Which SBCs are worth doing? Just started out and I haven't played UT since FIFA16. Bought some packs and got Rashford so went for EPL, then I got untradable Immobile so now I'm feeling I should sell Rashford and go for Serie A. What say thee?

What would be the point in that?

Marquee match ups are usually a good start, cheap as chips but rewards are pretty meh. Hybrid leagues and hybrid nations are where the money is though 2x 55k and 2 50k packs for next to nothing.

Would personally wait until you've done them before deciding what team to go with.

Alright thanks!
 
Made a few tweaks to my team, and have been flying through the divisions. Changed from 4231 to 433(4), i prefer the extra width, and to have the 2 cms a bit higher up the pitch to support in attack.

Current line up

Handanovic

Spinnazola
Koulibaly
Skriniar
Cuadrado

CL Vidal
RB Kessie
Dybala

Insigne
RB Arnautovic
RB Kulusevski

The front 3 are just incredible. The RB Kulusevski is one of the most fun cards I have used in any fifa. His combination of height, speed, ball control and strength is unbelievable, where even the constant Kimpembe teams cant handle the combo of him and Arnautovic.

I have gone from d2 r2 to d1 r1 in 2 days, and am now 3 wins away from elite, where i had been struggling in d2 for about a week
 
Packed Kaka from the base icon SBC so had to sell Scholes in order to fit everyone in. Shame as I liked him, but playing Kaka in a 2 in midfield means I need someone with better defensive stats
 
Has anyone used Fernando Torres’s icon card? His base card is only about 450k. It looks great so I’m tempted to buy it, but would have to spend most of my coin balance.
 
Why is it do difficult to defend? I'm conceding 5 but scoring 6 each game. What gives
I have some tips. Defending is probably my strength in fifa. Just to give some context, I play division 1 every year and also play as the Any on our clubs. This is mainly due to my defending.

- Firstly, it’s a must that you have Jockey on “assisted” and not “manual”. If you have it on manual you will over run your attacker far too often. They will leave you for dead with quick turns or skills.
- You have to constantly jockey and use minimal tackle button. Sprint and Jockey at the same time is what you need to be doing the majority of time. This year you want to mostly jockey into people as opposed to “tackle” them.
- If you are in a one v one situation at the back, you want to jockey as long as you can while using team mate press to call another nearby player to pressure the man on the ball. More often than not the opponent will be forced into a mistake. Team mate press is very OP this year.
- adjust your team tactics to use a narrow defence. About 4 bars. Also drop the depth down one from the default.
- You always want to keep your opponent in front of the defence and jockey into them from the side when they are making runs through.

These are some very good tips, and I will be using them. Do you suggest anything for defending headers?

You can't use assisted jockey online. If you go to controller settings and look at the competitive master switch it sets it to off as soon as you turn it on, and it's always on when playing online
 
I’ve got about 50k and looking to upgrade Jesus to another PL striker. Is Lukaku worth it?
 
Got Lewandowski in a preview pack. How is his max buy now only 75k? He's 92ovr ffs. Highest rated card I've ever gotten and he's barely 60k.

He was a beast early doors but don't see him much these days, Werner on the other hand.... whats your team looking like? maybe worth spending the 4K on Werner and upgrading else where.

Ederson, Cancelo, Rudiger, Dias, Shaw, Rashford, Fabinho, Foden, Allan, Sancho, Jesus

That’s my team currently. Basically happy with it and it’s just upgrading certain players here and there.

Depends who you're unhappy with but personally I would swap out Shaw, Dias and Fabinho with Reguilon, IF Romero and maybe Bruno/Tielemans RTTK.
 
So for the new season div6 + get relegated 2 divs each, 7/8 1 and 9/10 stay the same. WL points go up to 2k from 1.5k and apparently the milestone rewards are getting upped.

Rivals is going to be a mess a lot of people will be losing on purpose to avoid getting stuck in a div they don't belong in.
 
How do you get better at this game, I used to be pretty decent but I can’t even qualify for weekend league. I’m constantly one win of qualifying.
I win a decent amount in rivals div 2 but I’m pretty patchy in form
 
If you have Kimpembe in your team you are scum and I hate you.
He's unreal!

Ive replaced UCL Robertson and Cancelo with Rulebreaker Corner and Rulebreaker Trent. Varane and Van Dijk in the middle and Alisson as goalkeeper. I dont want to concede anymore.

What do you seem to be struggling with? What's your team/tactics?

I don't mind it, but would have preferred it to fully reset. The grind in getting to elite was the fun part, being there is boring as hell though. It's basically 7 wins and don't play it again for the week.

Guilty and not sorry. He's fantastic and the links he offers are just too good to pass up. Will be getting rid as I hate having non special cards in my team but for the price he'll be a hard card to replace.

I'm torn because as someone who was trying to get to the elite div starting again would be terrible for me and you just know that div 1/2 players will purposely stay in the lower divs for free wins but I don't think this is a good solution either.

Elite players will stay 1/2 making it harder for people trying to get promotion to elite and then that will happen all the way down the divisions.

Alisson was just awful for me. I replaced him with Donnaruma who has been much better. Interested to see if he is good for others or is crap for you too.
 
What do you seem to be struggling with? What's your team/tactics?
I think it’s mostly defence I struggle with, I don’t seem to have anywhere near the amount of players actually defending compared to the opposition. I’ve tried more defensive tactics and telling my centre mids to stay back but then my forwards struggle

my team currently is : 41212
Ederson
Walker Rudigar Gomez Robertson
RB Onyeka
Bruno RB Varetti
Sancho
Neymar Werner

I don't think people will stay lower. Only reason to play rivals is the rewards and in elite you get an extra red pick each week so people will just play the 7 wins and move on to something else. Can always tank their skill rating in elite to play those nearer the bottom of it if they need to.

These are great tips thank you!
Its like FIFA 15 all over again with the 2nd man press being OP and never move the CB's.
 
Using De Ligt and Coulibaly and they’re great.
 
Alisson was just awful for me. I replaced him with Donnaruma who has been much better. Interested to see if he is good for others or is crap for you too.
Donnarumma is very good, but Alisson is fine for me. No complaints.

4231 is my preferred defensive formation it's been very effective when closing out close games. Wouldn't be a very fun way to play it but both dm's stay back while attacking, cover center, both full backs stay back while attacking then all CAMS and ST stay forward, get in behind. You could go the whole extra mile and go full 1depth, drop back and long ball strat if you're still struggling.
