Basically it allows you to put any player you want into any position and they'll keep the chemistry they started on.

For instance, right now in my starting lineup I have Matthaus CB and Desailly CDM - but when I change my tactics / formation, they swap places and both will be on 10 chemistry still. Does that make sense?
Oh so people will be making a 100 chem team and then changing formation straight away and keeping the full chem even though it would be lowered if they put that formation on their main screen? That correct?

Yep exactly. Before they allowed for changes to be made on the fly most people would pause so as to adjust their team as seen fit.

I see.

Still, by default it shouldn't change formation just because you went attacking, you should have to set it up that way.

I remember the days of just picking up a pad and playing, now you've gotta be an expert tactician just to win a game ffs :lol:

Indeed! I don't know why the defaults are the way they are - and sometimes they put players in inexplicable positions so it's worth taking 10-15 minutes to sort the formations all out. For what it's worth, you can keep the same formation at times and tweak different parameters (pressing, width, etc) in addition to the formation. For instance, I have my setup currently with a more defensive version of my usual XI on "defensive", I have a 5ATB system that's very conservative on "ultra defensive", I have the system I usually play on "attacking", and I have a gung-ho 3ATB on "ultra attacking". Generally this works pretty well for me and it's rare that I feel the need to tweak things tactically via pausing.

Hopefully they haven't changed the siuuuu where it's just Ronnie doing it with that stupid vacuum face, and none of the crowd join in. Because I piss myself with laughter every time.
Thankfully that has remained :lol:

Played a bit last night on squad battles and improved loads. Won every game (playing world class so far) and think I’ve figured out how to defend mostly.

I do really enjoy the gameplay but there are still some dodgy fifa things that come down to lacklustre game design.

When I’m playing the AI it feels like when I’m defending and they’re sprinting something is pulling my player back when I change to them so the AI gets a wee boost on me. Reverse that to me against the AI and it’s not there. Random moments of your players doing brainfarts when ‘momentum’ is against you.

Annoying but manageable if you’re not surrounded by red mist.

OMG lads I'm on a 4 game winning run and have been promoted to division 2.

Finally got a team that I feel smooth and comfy with.

Only division 9 on rivals :lol: drew loads of games in a row.

I'm even struggling on professional on squad battles since the update.
You must be fairly new to FIFA are you? The best thing to do is find a good rivals tactic and formation using the FIFA Youtubers. Then just practice playing games and you will slowly improve.

The good thing about this current system is that over time more people will go into the higher divisions which should means you play people of your skill levels eventually. Glad you finally turned around your form anyway!

Don't know if I'm missing something but the SBC's seem ridiculously hard to me. POTM Ronaldo has 26 challenges including submitting entire squads rated up to 86. Seems either impossible or it would cost you an absolute fortune. All I know is to play Squad Battles, climb the leagues, win coins and buy better players that way, along with the odd reward packs you get along the way. Don't know if there's any other way without spending real life money.

They made the Ronaldo sbc that hard because they don't want everyone to have a 92 rated Ronaldo this early. Besides, his normal card is like 1.5 million coins, and it'd take more coins to build his potm anyway.

Thanks mate, yeah I’m in a much better position now feels good to be winning again. I’m actually finding division 2 so much easier than division 3 so far.

Hero Morientes is amazing I think he’s played a big part in me getting the wins. So is record breaker Inaki. Both are scoring for fun.

Ronaldo is deliberately overpriced and I wouldn't do Koulibaly or Inaki Williams eiher, but for example Benzema POTM and the Fekir one are ridiculous cards for a fairly moderate price.

Like it’s been said Fekir is fantastic value for coins, also more than likely a upgrade to come too. The foundation SBC are a must the hybrid leagues and the hybrid nation are nearly almost guaranteed profit but you’ll need loyalty on a few players for the 4th section of each.

Marquee matchups and the UCL matchups are pretty much guaranteed profit if your club is pretty decently stocked with cheap golds.

Mate was moving from Xbox to ps5 so he sent a couple of us 200k and we've all been transfer market banned the rest of the year :lol:


EA won't agree to FIFA's price because they know it isn't worth it if more legislation comes for loot boxes.

Just packed CL RTTF Vidal. Going for 45k at the moment. Is the price likely to increase on these? Or should I get rid now?

Should do as I'd expect Inter to qualify so he should get at least 1 and if they win 2 of their games vs Sheriff (A), Madrid(A) & Shakhtar(H) he'd get another so would be quite a solid card. Maybe not massively rise though depending on when they actually give the upgrades out as it'll probably be around Christmas/just before TOTY so probably a lot of promos.

Oh really. I’ve made a couple of transfers to may mate to the sum of about 300k but so far gotten away with it.

How do you get enough cards you're happy to dispose off to do these? Do you buy packs with actual cash? Or do you buy players on the transfer market and/or packs with coins won in game? Or rely on the packs you are rewarded with etc? I'm so unsure how to tackle them!

Just buy them and have a look on futbin how others have compelted them, then see what you have in your club to do it for the least amount spent on completing them. You will 100% see a profit returned on these SBCs, if you're clever with how you complete them, they're a great money spinner.

From 1 week of squad battles and rivals you’ll get enough cards to do the main easy ones and that nets you a 35k pack and a 45k pack for next to nothing then with that you’ll get enough to do the 4th segments and that’ll get you 2 50k and 2 55k packs.

If you can be bothered you can get 2 100k’s and a 50k pack that’ll give you 60 rare golds for scoring 500 goals and assists with a 85 rated squad. It’s very tedious but wack it on beginner and you’ll be able to get it done in 10/13 games.

Ah right, brilliant cheers! I only play squad rivals because I like playing other people and don't get as into it when I play against the computer, but it seems its worth playing squad battles too! Thanks.

I really enjoy:

Having to tackle 4-6 times before actually getting the ball back.

The random speed of slow players to catch faster players.

My goalkeepers punching everything or parrying it out.

Opposition having unlimited energy.

Cracking game.

I think I am getting there though, won a couple rivals games last night :lol:

I got Sterling in a preview pack. I’m starting to like that feature.
The best thing about them is that they remind me daily how absolutely low value these packs are, so I'm not even tempted to buy them anymore.

Yeah same :lol: surely you must get atleast one decent preview every month? I'll probably manage the year without getting a decent player in preview packs :lol:

Can't complain, packed better than normal this year tbh, benzema, Sancho, IF Depay, couple other IFs and some OTW.

I had Kimmich and some 30k player I can't remember in back to back preview packs, but other than those two I haven't bought a single one yet.

Are draft rewards good this year or is it worth just spending on packs instead?

I'd say never spend on packs personally, they aren't value for money. You're better off doing the SBCs which are better value

Has anyone tried Leroy Sane yet? His CL Version looks so tempting to me, especially since the +2 is all but guaranteed. On the other hand there's the 2* weak foot issue.

I'd probably be going from this

to this:

I'm hesitant, because Dembele and Valverde are actually doing pretty well for me. On the other hand getting rid of Koulibaly would be a plus and Mukiele should also do a bit better than Di Lorenzo, though he's been okay for me, too.

I've got his CL version, I dropped Rashford and play Sane on 7 chem instead. He's insanely good and as you say with the double upgrade he's likely to get should get even better.

Thanks, I bought him now, will take a bit of time before I can put him in my starting team though, since I'm now having second thoughts about selling Vinicius and want to integrate Amavi into my team :lol:
