What does anyone think of the women players? I tried the leah williamson card but she is so small for a CB! No idea how size and physicality is going to work with those cards

Wouldn't use them for GK, CB or CDM etc but I can see some of them being very overpowered on the wings.

People are going to use them just to griddy on opponents for maximum triggering.

I'm using them cause a lot of them have high stats compared to the guys but I'm finding it quite jarring seeing a tiny woman running about barging big guys off the ball.

Maybe I'm a chauvinist and didn't even realise it.

Been using Lauren James on the wing and she is great. Agree wouldn't recommend for CB or CDM due to the lack of height.

Are ratings like for like with Men, i.e. a Women with strength 80 = Man with strength 80?

Yep identical

Why can you not buy stadiums yet?

Guy Mowbray’s commentary feels like it belongs in an old PES game. Something about it feels so artificial and soulless

Jimbeam3678 · 23 Sep 2023 at 15:37

Haven’t had commentary on for years

Goody_GTI · 23 Sep 2023 at 17:54

Had a go on the 10 hour trial and it just feels the same as 23 so far, just a hell of a lot slower because I don’t have a 99 squad anymore

I’m not seeing anything that’s making me want to buy it yet so going to stay strong!

Ayahuasca · 23 Sep 2023 at 18:44

Was just about to ask how the gameplay was and whether it was fun or just going through the motions again.

It’s a shame EA can’t genuinely shake it up a bit with the amount of money they generate from it.

Anyone else struggling to defend on it? Had no problems on other versions.

How can I change my ultimate team name does anyone know?

Also how does 2v2 on ultimate team work? If I do it with a mate will it always put us against 2 other people?

Have you turned off advanced defending?

I had tactical defending on, changed it to advanced and it seems much better.

StevieP · 24 Sep 2023 at 15:08

Has anyone had issues with their founder evolution?

I had no idea what I was doing and picked Callum Wilson - did the first upgrade (from 82 to 83) but then he's vanished from the "my evolutions" page - he did pick up an injury but other than that I can't think of any other actions/notifications!?!?

*edit* just re-loaded the game and he's reverted back to a standard gold player!

You can change the overall team name in the settings menu but I've no idea how to change the squad name.

Mine is currently Brent Dons for some reason but I can't find any option to change it.

I'll be honest I'm not really a massive football fan and I've not been into football since Eric Cantona drop kicked that fan way back when. I've picked up FIFA for the first time in over a decade and I'm playing around with Ultimate Team. I've got 40k coins and this is my team. Any recommendations on who to sell/change/buy? Should I change the formation? I would appreciate any help.

I'm running 4-2-4

Rashford(LW) - Hero Crouch(ST) - Nunez (ST) - Olise(RW)

Eriksen(CM) - Fernandez(loan player CM)

Shaw (LB) - Lindelof (CB) - Ake (CB) - White (RB)

Fabianski (GK)

On the bench I've got

Gabriel Jesus (ST), Diaz (LW), Lo Celso (CAM), Kovacic (CM), Reguilon (LB), Rodak (GK), Kamara(CDM), Kehrer(cb), Guehi (CB)

Thanks

I really don't understand how this Evolutions rubbish works - notwithstanding my issue in "losing" Callum Wilson, I've now tried to level up Emile Smith-Rowe and gone from a 78 to a 79 but now he's not showing up in the "My Evolutions" tab anymore?

I accepted the upgrade - should I have not done??

Jimbeam3678 · 24 Sep 2023 at 20:09

@omnomnom paging as I believe you can’t see this thread for some reason.

Andybtsn · 25 Sep 2023 at 10:21

The mentality of players is as strong as ever this year, so many rage quits after scoring 1 goal. Terrible
