So you don’t think his price will increase at all when he does eventually get to 90?
He only needs 1 win for the upgrade doesn't he? If/when Chelsea get a goal up, sell imo. Might even want to sell pre game to avoid people doing the same. Find it hard to believe a card like that is going to hold its value when literally everything has dropped and continues to drop.

I’ve got to division 2 and it’s just too good for me. Not fun at all. The lack of relegation is a really stupid feature

Massive F U to customers so they pay their money and give up quickly on it. Fifa 23 will come out with relegations on and everyone will lap it up
The current season ends in 6 days and apparently everybody will either start at division 10 again or go down one division so if you finished the season in 2 you’ll start the next one in 3.

That’s what some streamers have said I believe. I don’t know for a fact if it will happen.

starting at Division 10 would make most sense I think. Otherwise I’m going to eventually get promoted again after a couple of week or so and then be back here. If it’s starting at 10 again, I’m fine with it

Just stop yourself getting promoted that’s what I do. Go into a game let your opponent score and quit.

Starting at 10 again would be awful. Outside of it taking ages to get back to your natural division and the games lasting about 2 mins as people will just quit after going a goal down, naturally lower div people will be getting destroyed and can't see them sticking around to spend money on a game when they lose every game by huge margins.


I'm in div 1 atm and outside of a few games where I either win or lose 4-0 the games are normally pretty close. Would rather lose 1/2 nil and feel I'm getting better for the loss then thrash someone 4 nil by half time and get nothing but a win .

You’re a better man than me, I love smashing people. Agreed though most of my games in Div 1 are really close but I think all that really does is encourage pure meta builds and horrible tactics. It’s more fun having a mix.

Anyone found any good slider settings against the AI? Been trying to do a career with a created club but I’m at my wit’s end.

Regardless of team, the AI are phenomenally press resistant and barely ever make a mistake. If they do it’s an unrealistic unforced error, but press them to within an inch of their lives and they’ll ping pong that ball through you like prime Barcelona.

You can’t ‘fool’ the AI either because they read your button inputs. Want to dummy the ball through your legs? They’re already standing there to block. They never attempt to make a tackle and get tricked by it. Running one on one against a player it mostly feels like if you go one way, they’ve already moved there. And if you went the other way they’d have blocked that too. Every passing lane is perfectly cut out at all times and every pass they make is exact and exploits every bit of space you leave. It’s never over hit. There’s never a long ball headed on to nobody, or a cross that’s too heavy which evades everyone. Every shot I take from any distance is blocked by a defender who just stands in the path of it. When you counter attack they always have four defenders in a line. Nobody is ever out of position after being caught upfield. If their defenders get even close to you it’s basically an auto-tackle. It’s always so perfect.

And this is being done by teams like Preston North End. I win the games no problem but it’s just shit to play. You learn what works and just score goals that way, which sucks any creativity out of the player. Are there any slider settings that can make up for such blatant neglect in this area of the game?

yeah, it’s absolute wank. Like you’ve said, you learn how to score rather than actually play decent football.

It is the same if you play against the AI in UT. Even if they have 40 Chemistry they’ll still be pinging it about and it feels like you’re the one on 40 and they’re on 100 with all of your mistimed passes etc. I don’t get it.

He going into your team? Curious as to what you're running!
Already sold him :lol:

I need to make funds for R9

I've got this right now in 4222

Ginola-Mbappe
Neymar-Messi
Gullit- UCL De Jong
IF Theo-UCL Marquinhos-Varane-OTW Hakimi
Mid Van Der Sar

I'm probably selling Ginola-Gullit to fund for R9 and I might get that new Kessie in midfield.

I absolutely hated Ginola personally! Thought he was far too clunky. I'm also going 4-2-2-2; think it's the best formation I've used to date generally. The new Corona card is an absolute madness if you're looking for a super sub by the way!

RB Corona - base Maradona
2IF Vinicius - base Puskas
base Matthaus - Llorente
IF Theo - mid Desailly - UCL Marquinhos - OTW Hakimi
Donnarumma

I don’t understand the criticism of Ronaldo personably. So far I’ve played 13 division rival games and he’s scored 22 goals. The guy is a complete machine and compared to the champions league Werner it’s night and day with his extra dribbling and heading ability. Absolutely love him!

You guys make me depressed, here is me still grinding with IF Firmino, Sterling, Sancho and Werner in the Elite Division.

I'll probably pick up that Corona as a sub. He looks great.

I've been using version 5 from this link & have found the game to be infinitely better offline;

Corona is very similar to Neymar overall - slightly slower but better stamina and defending make him far better out of possession. Hard to link but a very nice (and cost-effective) option if you can get him between two icons.

Another week, another set of dead rewards. 30k from the if pack, Kroos from the 100k pack and 3 useless reds. Do love the new WL format but still doesn't change the fact rewards are typically shite. Need leagues sbc's back pronto (preferably the old ones where you got a player) game is becoming a bit stale atm, feels like I log in at 6 check the content then log out at 6.02.

Finally made it into the elite rank which I’m happy about. There’s some seriously good teams knocking about now though. Does anyone else see the teams full of legends and just think it’s just a little bit sad at this point that they have probably had to spend hundreds of pounds or more to have that team? Even worse when I then still manage to beat a team with them all in. Imagine spending that much money on far superior players and still losing! Must be hard to take. Overall I do think this game is the best FIFA in years though, it’s got such a great balance and even the online meta while annoying, isn’t fundamentally broken like last year.

Yep. Can't believe it's still happening. It's my main complaints in the last 10 fifas. Yet PES can perfect it almost.

I've got 4 icons, and a team probably worth a few million but haven't spent a penny on fifa points. It's definitely possible to have a great side without spending anything on packs. I'm not even that great at trading either.

Ive got approx 130k coins. Not sure who to get for LF - Son or Mane?

Or get VVD for CB.
What’s weaker, your defence or attack?

Son and van Dijk are both absolutely unbelievable for me. I’d much rather Son than Mane.

Got nothing out of rewards, but finally got Keane, and will replace Sterling with Mane/Son/Giggs. Finished rank 1.

You must have had some insane pack luck. I'm building a team with one of my mates this year so we are sharing wealth and I think we have just about got to a 1.5 million team but that doesn't scratch the surface of the best Hero/Legend cards. If people have managed to get teams with 5/6 of those cards I find it hard to believe they haven't spent some money (likely a lot) or literally has insane luck and packed a couple of heroes somehow.

Not really, not pulled a single icon, but my transfer profit is around 3 million ifself

Prices are dropping like crazy, I understand this happens every year.

Is it time to sell your team now and buy it later again or is it too late for that?

Depends who you have but probably too late to sell now for the majority as those preview 50k packs just killed the market, some still seem to be dropping a bit but could be a bit risky.

Didnt realise the 50k preview packs were going to be a thing. Bought RB Kulusevski for 70k in the morning yesterday ready for champs. Finished my games, packed no one from the rewards, but made enough to be able to afford RB Kessie at 145k.

Wake up this morning to see that Kulusevski is now 40k, and Kessie is 120k. Good times.

It's alright, he was a perfect fit for my team:


Got him in place of baby Seedorf so I could afford mid VdS and use Dante as slightly prefer Dante to Kimpem/Marq and had Cech/Donnarumma who neither I'm a massive fan of - so bought Kessie @ 220k Saturday and he basically halved in price after a few hours :lol:

I didn't realise this either. Just previewed and packed rulebreaker Cornet and sold him for 74k! And Rodri for 12.5k. Nice
