*** The Official FIFA 17 Thread ***

Annoyed at last night now! As anyone that knows me knows...I'm not GREAT at Fifa! Got to the semis of the daily cup, hard game, just saved a pen...and my damn connection drops out! :(
 
in semi the guy insta went PTB

was dominating midfield had so much space - him backing off so much

Wham - long shot into top corner.......... pass the ball around - he didn't even change from PTB when I went 1 up.... sigh sad!
 
I've never realised how much chemistry cards can up a players stats.

Just looked on Fut head and put a catalyst card on firmino, +12 on pace and +10 on passing. Perfect for a CF in false 9. :eek:

its brilliant how much difference they can make. a 75 paced striker can become a 99 speed demon ha
 
Every tournament final each player will have an attribute card on.

Anyone got any good guides to formations/CT's etc for a noob who thought he'd mastered the game but turns out he's worse than ever?
 
im currently using the 3421 formation jim mentioned - seems decent but really need to be careful defending....

I usually manually defended - with a little help from secondary contain...

Really tried hard to let the ai defend and use a player to cover runs etc - its unbelieveable!!!!!!! the ai just owns most players...... its a joke really I would prefer manually defending...
 
letting the AI control the defenders nearest the ball - before I would change to the player and try and block, jockey, tackle..... now I just leave the closest man to the ball with the AI (computer) which basically blocks the opponents movement and close down with another player obvious passing lanes....
 
Tried the 3-4-2-1 myself, got a record of 9-2-1 and qualified for the FUT Champions weekend league.

Really need a few more players, first 11 still had bronze players in and my bench is full of 50 odd rated players but I'll get there.

4321, attacking fullbacks, 1 cdm who stays planted, lots of slow passing, bring the pace of the game right down, not being some tiki taka tossa, but killing the pace of the game has been a godsend for me.
 
Really liking my False 9 BPL team right now.

Only 12k so can't upgrade anyone yet but so far, this is my first team.

Schmeichel > (Lloris)
Darmian-Ogbonna-Zouma-Rose > (Valencia-Smalling-Kosc-Azpel)
Cazorla-Fernandinho-Eriksen > (Kante for Fernandinho)
Shaqiri-Firmino-Walcott > (Martial for Walcott)

Brackets are the planned upgrades.
I can afford Valencia and Azpel now but Darmian has been a beast.
Also been wanting Martial for a while, but I tried the loan version and didn't show up for me at all so maybe delaying this.
Fernandinho has been solid but I hear good things about Kante everywhere.

Also Andy of you are still playing a variant of 3 ATB make your CM's stay out of the box when attacking, this gives you some options if you come up against a brick wall.
 
wow the game infuriates me so much, had some games where ive demolished my opponents and ended up losing and the bloody last game i had 21 shots 15 on target in the semi final and my battery in the controller just randomly cut off (even though it was on charge) he went through and scored int he 87th minute.

That said De Bruyne is dreamy.

AI defending i also use, but its abysmal really. Should be removed from the game makes it far too easy and requires zero skill. Whilst everyone does it and its in the game it'll get used like i do as its more reliable.

Made FUT champions on my last attempt for the week, feels like tonight is the worst FIFA I've played in ages and somehow I made it. Final was 3-2 but it really should have been 6 or 7, my finishing has gone to pot lately.

Pleased / relieved to have made it, but I need to find my form again.
