Not sure how to embed but that's it ^. Keep switching between formations, can't settle on one.
Are you struggling with scoring or defending? 4231 is my go to defensive tactic, defensive players stay back while attacking. CAMs all stay forward, ST stay forward get in behind. Very much a "holding on for dear life when the oppo throws the kitchen sink at you" tactic, soak up the pressure and then through ball to your 90+ pace forwards.

Very boring but if you need the win it works, 442 would be good with that team Robbo and Amavi look class going forward and your midfield looks solid too. Would mean playing Becks out wide but Amavi would probably do a decent job going forward to cover for any deficiency Beckham has.

I have been using 4312 for a while and its been pretty great. Very dominant tactic. It requires a very good cdm in the mid cm position though. I would take Beckham and Vini out of your team, put a striker or cam in there with Correra and Jairzinho upfront. Id take Robertson out if he's on zero chem, buy base Capdevilla for left back? My tactics are below which i got 14 wins with last weekend, though im usually getting 11 with 3/4 remaining.

Balanced defensive
40 width
45 depth
Fast build up
Direct passing
50 width
6 in box

LB- stay back
RB- balanced overlap
CCM- stay back cover centre
RCM- balanced cover wing
LCM- get forward cover wing
CAM- come back on defence
Both ST- stay central

A bit of both really. Will experiment with these and @iammemphis ’s tactics and see how I get on. Cheers guys.

Trigger the runs for the full backs when you need them, and just keep passing around the box where you can until it opens. A quick skill move should create a shooting chance here and there. I use the L1+ left then right on the right stick (if going from right to left). It does some glitchy little shuffle that's hard to defend against. You might know this already of course but its something I've only been doing recently.

Promo team is ass, so tried my luck with another icon pick. Riquelme, Keane and Casillas :houllier: Can't be mad as there's only like 8/9 that would get in my team but can't help but feel shafted.

Finished rank V which is the highest I’ve finished so far, your tactics seem to be doing the trick mate!

Did the icon sbc again and got Carlos Alberto. Oh well, win some lose some. Last time I'm doing it. Got no high rated players left I want to throw away.

Congrats really want to start a P&P United team but the lack of icons available means I'm just buying them off the market and that's boring. Think i'm going to start again on my other account today and see what i can build in a day, already have a WC heroes Kewell from the SBC they did so i'll try and build a team around him.

Have you done any of the advanced SBC's? If no i would do them with the 50k would probably only cost like 20k and you get 2 100k, 2 50k and some other decent packs. Started again yesterday and have been doing the one that's repeatable for the 45k and have packed Mbappe and enough fodder to complete the icon sbc, Payet, Bailly and that French CM. Only had 70k and managed to do it about 20 times yesterday, it's pretty good value if you have the patience.

I can’t work out how to do a lot of them

Got to rank 5 in FUT Champs for the first time ever. Fecking delighted. Git 5 wins in a row last night and I needed 3W out of 6 to get to R5. 2 guys quit and gave me the win. God bless them both. At best I'd hope for 6 to 8 wins.

I'm having a load of luck using 5122.

Most solid formation I've used all year.

Very solid in defence but fantastic in attack too.

Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
Had 5 or 6 weeks off, came back this week, did some rivals, drafts and a few of the SBCs etc. I added a few players to my team from 5 weeks ago and managed rank 4, possibly my best finish ever. And even then the game I lost were close and I had to give one or two away because the kids woke up mid game.

My team is:

Donnarumma

Theo Hernandez gold
Tomori gold
Bailly WW
Clauss WW

Bellegarde WW
Park WC Hero

Payet WW
Politano WW
88 Cantona
POTM Moise Kean

Right now, Payet and Bailly are amazingly good. Politano is useable at a good level but he's not a difference maker and you need to use him wisely. Kean feels slightly nerfed now but I had him 6 weeks ago and he's still in my team, he was ridiculously good when he came out. If he gets another special card then I'm 100% getting it.

Tomori and Hernandez have been solid for a while now but getting sightly behind the curve. Clauss and Bellegarde need upgrading soon.

What do I do about this, guys...

Tried the single player draft, but twice I've tried it and it loses connection during the first half of the first game.

I keep going on the website and reclaiming the draft token, but is there anything I can do to stop it losing connection?

My internet is fine, and it never loses connection during division rivals matches or anything.

Annoying because I was enjoying playing with shit-hot players in the draft.

Anybody use gold Neymar recently? I've been considering adding him to my team. What's he like for pace and dribbling in game? I know his stats are a bit of a lie normally and he's always been a strong card in the past, even if you just had his gold version.

I have his gold. Dribbling is still great but he doesn’t feel that quick.

Doing the Centaur 80+ SBC. Done about 70 packs so far. Another 30 to go. Finally getting rid of so much fodder. Hopefully I’ll have enough to finish it.

Was hawk originally then changed him for some reason, put back to hawk now and he’s doing the business again. 115 goals in 101 games.

1 (the most expensive!) squad away from doing Zidane. Should complete within a week or so.

Is anyone using their ps4 fifa 23 on ps5? Just want to know if it’s cross platform with ps4, apparently it is but only if you’re using the ps4 fifa.

Yeh im about 450k coins away from doing him myself. Ive exhausted my fodder , managed to do the icon sbc yesterday (mid and WC) and got Cassilas.... Straight into the Zidane sbc :lol:. Im tempted to spend the 450k i have saved to get Zidane done this weekend as itll take forever to wait. I have 2x86 squads, 1x87 and im an 88 and 90 away from the 88 squad, not too bad really.

Did the icon SBC, mid Schweinsteiger. Opened up another random pack and also got mid Xabi Alonso. Neither will go into my team but it's always nice to pack icons in random packs, that's my 3rd of the year including prime Rijkaard and baby Henry both tradeable and both starting as I'm doing a first owner only.

Love seeing the white confetti, congrats on the pull. Packed WC Blanc on my new account, Cech on my old account and 92 Muller on another account, happy with Blanc he's class I'm pack stacking atm up to 15 45k packs 14 small rare gold player packs 3x 100k 2x 81x11 a couple 84 and 83+ packs and 2 125k packs. Will probably get to 50 of each then call it a day.

This latest promo is so dead it’s almost comparable to the adidas promo they did last year.

Ie exactly 150 packs saved for TOTY. Surely I should get something.
You would hope so but you can go on Youtube now and watch people burn through 100's of packs and get nothing. There's always hope though, I did pack TOTY Marcelo a few years ago out of a 7.5k pack. They'll probably put in the nominee cards again which is pure pain when you can't differentiate on the web app and you pack one of them.

Has anyone else noticed how much of a menace heroes Marquez is? Got him after he had an absolute screamer against me and he's been insane.

Has anyone used the Mid Dalglish icon? Packed him in the SBC untradeable.
Haven't no but he looks like the perfect player for this game. High dribbling, 4/5 skills/wf, good traits and good pace too. Seems like a class card tbh.

Yeah his value is over 300k so must be decent. I'm happy with the team I have now, just saving for upgrades of the players in the squad

4321 with the two CF's (still figuring out tactic that kepes all 3 between 18 yard box so valverde and llorente can almost act as wing backs)
De Gea

Trippier
Godfrey
Varane
Shaw

Valverde
Tchouameni
Llorente

Crespo
Morientes
Dalglish

He's so good by the way. Have him in the left CF position on stay central and he's on 12 goals 9 assists in 7 games

Would love for them to release more icons for longer, give us something to grind towards. Honestly would rather use a full team of icons then just the meta cards.
