Started a career with United, brought in Sancho for 68m, Werner for 32m, Neves for 25m + Mata, Ndidi for 24m, Digne for 30m + Bailly & Ginter for 19m + TFM.

Managed to sell Rojo for 10m, Jones for 16m, Young for 4m, Matic for 11m & Lingard for 30m to Arsenal (suckers), recalled Sanchez and flogged him to Leverkusen for 25m.

Drew 1-1 and 2-2 in my first games with Chelsea and Wolves, then won 3-1 and 2-1 against Palace & Southampton, so I'm doing better than Ole. Playing on legendary and it feels harder than previous years. Can't defend to save my life :lol:
You fancy a job as United's DOF??

Kinda finish with fifa for a while now till more icon swaps come in. Got Ozil and Zaha from the objectives. Bought koulibaly and Chiellini for my serie A team and rashford to partner zaha. Ive 950k coins and l'll wait till January to buy some bigger players. Least now I've time to relax and play clubs.

Anyone used Raheem Sterling? Tempted to pick him up to replace Bernardo and the price seems reasonable.

No, but I definitely would if I was running a Serie A side. Looks very good. Ridiculous card for the price actually.
Aye, his stats are insane. Picked him up for 37k and binned off Matuidi. Not actually used him yet though.

Who would’ve thought that a guy with a team name like Exeter Gently would be a cnut?

Anyone else bored of having a good team? Need tournaments back with limits so I can play with teams I actually like. Big fan of Martinez + Giovinco in real life but impossible to put them in a competitive WL squad or Rivals unless I drop down a couple divisions.

Anyone know when it is that prices usually crash loads, is it black Friday? Also, is it the top players that historically crash or the lower players?

The lower rated players crash a big amount, the top players a small amount (though tbf someone like Pogba is 400k now I think, and he'll probably go down to like 340k at some point over black friday before bouncing up). The high rated players also rebound back up while the lower rated guys will stay low (like Rashford and Martial for example).

Yeah its weird this year, nothing seems worth spending big on just yet. Also player prices pretty low or soon to go lower anyway.

I follow futchief abit but never done his paetron bollocks, obviously, but he’s advised buying top league silver fullbacks after the bundes bunch all trebled/quadrupled in price. So ive been investing in a fair few. You never know.

I’m the same. He went 1-0 up to a shite goal from Zaha and thought he was great. He got beat 3-1 and he watched every second of celebration and replay in return.

Yeah IV seen those names going around, I prefer something more subtle in Pog Mo Ispini :D
Haha. Not many will figure that out. Its not so much the name as the fact they always act the cnut and are angry teens.

Anyone used scream Traore? Got him untradable from one of the level up packs. Can't decide if he looks great or awful.

Does everyone get issued Lenglet and Varane in their starter packs now? Can’t remember the last time I played someone who didn’t have them.

Had an utter horrendous night.

Im sure i have terrible button delay but I don’t see how a game can be riddled with so many basic errors. Defending a counter the furthest man back was the right back, so i covered the centre with him whilst dropping back. My centre back took over and chased the winger running to the space to cross. MEANWHILE MY RIGHT BACK Entering the most crucial bit of the defensive phase has been selected by the computer to no longer defend the gap where he is aiming to cross, but to casually stroll back up the pitch, COMPLETELY turning his back on play and not interested in, you know, defending.

It beggars belief. Like when a free ball occurs from a challenge, NOT ONE of your players will be interested, it just waits for the opposition player to get the ball. I have the computer refusing to let me defend an attack through the middle with my centre back, until its too late and they’ve ran past me, instead it chooses the full backs.

Players lagging when you command a pass and instead of turning to face who want to pass to, they just carry on running and back heel a wayward pass, despite me purposefully delaying the pass for a split second; first commanding the turn (which never comes).



I could go on.

Also, any tips how to defend the sprint down the wing being flanked by my fullback and easily finding a free pass in the penalty box? Is the only way to defend this by sitting on 2 depth or something?

AND does anybody else get that awful stuttering laggy load at the full time whistle for ages where you can’t do jack shit to exit the game?

RE: The meta of running down the wing and passing inside.

I think the best thing is to make sure you switch between your CDM and full back to cover spaces. For example... If he is running down the right wing, I usually grab my CDM and get over to that side. Apply some pressure with full back again but ultimately I will be wanting my CDM to block that inside pass. If I stand in the lane it will force him elsewhere

Sounds simple but make it obvious that you wont let him do that pass and they will be forced into other attacking methods

Ter Stegen & Lenglet in the same pack - happy with that. Wad looking at buying Lenglet in the week too so saved me 80k+.

Didn't pack TOTW Mbappe though which was what I really wanted suprisingly...

I heard EA have released a new patch.

Is it any decent/different or just the same? Not played FIFA since the previous patch as it reverted the game back to FIFA 19 and I’ve been playing PES since.

There no mention of them fixing the bloody headers no? A lot of them missed open goals against me this week, glad but it shouldn't happen:lol:

Pulisic and Nkoulou about as good as it got. Can't expect Mbappe after getting Griezman last week.

What I want to know is, if I'm playing someone online and said game is cumbersome/slow because of the servers, is my opponent experiencing the same? Granted sometimes they may be a better player but whilst I can't string 5 passes together, they're tika taking like feck around me.
Played 2 games last night about an hour apart and the difference in game speed was outrageous. This day and age is it too much to ask for consistent gameplay? More so with the amount of money pumped into the product.

I just sold my first team as i refuse to play now until they fix this mess of a game. Ive had people take me out in the box, like literally slide tackle me into oblivion miles away from the ball, and nothing happened the game just played on. When opposition can tiki taka passes through my legs as im challenging yet when i power up a pass it still goes 5/10 yards short, when i successfully challenge a striker but he still barges it perfectly into his path for a goal over and over, when my attackers don’t turn on the ball quickly enough they instead just walk on the spot and back heel a blind pass, when players lag at that all Important you’re about to shoot and instead the extra bit allows the defence to throw a foot in. Through balls are delayed and then get fired 90 degrees to the winger instead of the striker making the run for a potential 1v1. Im done with this bollocks!

I've done the 2 new scare sbcs, they are very good value.

I just HAD to do Chong being a united fan. It's great having a special card like that. I hope mctominay and Axel get a young stars or something.

That pique is fantastic, so far the best centre back I've used he just wins everything. Icon level.

Just got Pique as well and seems great. Also really cheap compared to other SBCs especially for the level of card.

Yeah like I said his stats are top tier icon level. People will be put off by his pace but his defending ability more than makes up for it. Highly recommend anyone to do it.

I'm really tempted by that Pique, but after the last Fifa I told myself I wouldn't waste coins on untradeable SBC cards this year.

Started 9-0 Weekend League. Servers terrible for my final 2 games. Thankfully got early leads in every game and everyone has quit most games, think I’ve finished 1 game so far. Gonna try and play some more later tonight when hopefully servers are quiet.

just to reiterate, Pique is a monster, I’ve not even put a chemistry card on him yet either. His tackle radius is massive.
