Who was it that bought Modric TOTY ? Is he any good?

That was me, he isn't setting the world alight but then again I don't score many with my midfield in general. He is insanely agile, like 86 Mertens agile, he can shoot, good passing and is surprisingly strong. If you need a Real Madrid link he is your best bet.

Weekend league has started really well for me surprisingly, W4 L1, which is my best ever start. Fully expecting a collapse, but only aiming for 18 wins so happy with the start.

How's been now you've had a few games with him ? I may have bought him by accident ....:eek:

He is the best midfielder in the team, he isn't oh my god amazing but he does the job, his passing is spot on, he gets a few goals, he is strong and fast enough not to be bullied by Kante and Sanches, can't really complain. 3 goals 8 assists this weekend league, Vidal had 4 and 3, Pogba had 0 and 5.
 
About time they removed established date, took me 5 goes to get a game yesterday. People assume because I've got an early established date I'm good and take it seriously :D
 
Just built this, probably play like rubbish.

I didn't really rate dembele when i tried this. I have Fekir and Martial up top with him.


They have claimed to have fixed the kit issue before, hope they fix it this time as it's caused a couple of same kit colour games for me.
The change to customer player posistions is brilliant , stops people putting all their players in defence. the fut founder thing is irratating!



I got IF Bolasie and googled the berba turn to see what it was! Bolasie and the Berba turn(he does it slightly different) is lethal. i put deadeye chem on him.
Using IF shawcross and Bailley as the CB's shawcross is good, could do with hunter to sort his pace but they're to pricey to buy so got anchor and he's fine.
Next purchase is going to be milner.
Got 18 wins in the WeekendLeague, went down to the last game as well. had some terrible games before changing sides about.
 
It's feeling impossible to grind coins this year, or at least at a decent rate.

3 games max in terms of fitness, throw in 2-3 injuries in 3 games as well and it pretty much wipes out any coins you've made.

use two teams and then you won;t need coins for the fitness cards etc
 
Cool thanks for the mini review, when my the awesome but flawed James Rod runs out of steam I'm thinking shift him up to CAM you think he'd excel there ?

I think he could make a very good CAM, I have a hunter card on him and he is able to outstrip most players for pace. His long shots are decent, but he doesn't have the long shot taker trait so he won't bang as many from outside the box. I don't have a CAM in the 4321 or I'd give it a try for you.


Jesus, it looks like EA have actually listened. Fixing the Est. Date problem and looks like some changes to PTB which will make it less rubbish to play against. Not sure I like not being able to set custom positions, but I guess its something we'll have to live with.
 
I've decided I am going to sell my Bunda league squad (good bye Hahn my faithful friend).

Going Calcio A, any squad recommendations? I know I must have Alex Sandro and I want to use Higuan up top as he scores some ridiculous goals past me. Then obviously Chellini and Naingolin (SP's?)

Weekend league was a funny one, I went on two big win streaks followed by losing 8 games or so. Finished in Gold 2.
 
What are people's opinions on SIF Brozovic? Going to play his as a CM

I used him and thought he was good, only sold him as he shot up in price and i needed coins.

Sandro like you say is a must.
I think Florenzi is a great rb, Allan and Asamoah are good cheap CM's.
Eder is a good cheap ST. At Cb's i have chiellini and bonucci

He's been great for me as CAM in a 41212(2) in behind Higuain and IF Gomez (previously Dybala).

Good passing, dribbling and brilliant shooting inside and outside box. Can always boost his pace with a shadow/catalyst/hunter card but don't find him slow as his dribbling is very decent.

He's a reasonable tackler so should be ok at CM. He also might be in line for an upgrade at end of month/start of Feb.


Finished WL on P27 W18 last night so reached gold 3. Struggling to get Messi involved in some games, he's too lightweight in that when you come up against a strong defensive team then it becomes much more difficult to get him involved and he goes missing far too easily (his stamina is a bit meh also). Messi only really comes alive when there's space to dribble into and pull defenders out of position. If you get him into the right positions, his shooting is ridiculous too. Very frustrating player though.

Suarez is great though, the best finisher I've used this year. Seems to get on the end of almost everything and can bully defenders.

Cuadrado is a must. Allan is also a great CM and cheap too. Bruno Peres at RB is good too.

Need the coins for a second decent team as well...catch 22...

Also, don't they have to be in the active squad? So I essentially need a full 11 I swap to the bench/reserves then play a game, swap them back?

Just have your second team on the bench/reserves so they regain fitness. Then after the game switch to your second squad which has those players in the starting 11 and the other team onthe bench/reserves. You'll never need fitness cards again.
