*** The Official FIFA 17 Thread ***

At my mums for the weekend so been unable to get my usual weekend league stint in. Will hit up some games tomorrow, won't have time to get the full 40 in though so Gold 3 looks unlikely this week.

Have they announced the schedule for Christmas week yet? Wasn't up when I left.
 
I have Wide LM/RM as stay wide and come back to defend.
LF/RF set to default although I sometime flirt with get in behind on them.
CM's one to stay back when attacking and stay on edge of box
Other CM standard as with everything else.

Custom Tactics

Speed 52

Crossing 60

Aggression 44

10 minute video on why and how it works. Only thing I would add is you ideally want a High attacking CB in the middle who is tall as he then plugs the gap your 2 CM sometimes leaves which then leaves your other 2 CB's to deal with the Musa/Sturridges of this world:rolleyes:

I have basically copied this guy, I like the formation I am not setting the world on fire but that is due to my lack of skills and inability to use the right thumb stick,

Now when I lose I feel like it is because I have been out played not because the AI is off.

This is my current team, Im saving up for a better keeper and maybe a few IFs.

I would welcome any tips regarding my team, general game play etc

What formations are working for you? I've been trying to really get with 41212-2 but just can't seem to make it effective. Not sure if it's because of the players I'm chosing

Whats the best premier league back 4
 
Finally made it to Elite 3 with one game to spare. 1-0 down with 15 to go after being dominated for 75 mins. On comes Griezmann who bags 2 goals almost instantly. Dead at the momentum in this game but Grizi is life.

23 wins away from 12 red in-forms. Weekly rewards are nice but I want those bad.

I'm using 433(2) pretty much exclusively now.

I'd say the best back 4 is a combination of the following:

Walker/Bellerin - Smalling/Bailly/Otamendi - Shaw/Clichy

Are those the monthly things? Is there a breakdown of them somewhere?

I'm not entirely sure what that lot all does but I experimented a fair bit and these really work for me.

Then I just have my two full backs and CDM on 'Stay back while attacking', everything else is default.

Nice, thats a decent record.

You must be pretty solid at the game.

Azpilecueta smokes Shaw and Clichy for me, Clichy especially is very weak
 
IF do get an upgrade but if it's a lower IF can get an odd situation where they don't, trying to think of example from last year but it escapes me at the moment. Think Mahrez as a silver was one?!?
