*** The Official FIFA 17 Thread ***

hahaha the commentary on the De Gea one, 'that's almost as good as a goal at the other end' meanwhile...the ball trickles over the line
 
Can i ask what division are all you lot in who play Weekend League? Got into div 3 this week and got comfortably dumped out of it. Wondering what sort of levels of skills get into WL in the first place :p

What formation is everyone using now ? 41212(2) is getting a bit long in tooth for me. Looking for ideas..

4321 with this team:

Butland
Walker - Smalling - Boateng - Alaba
Modric - IF Casemiro - Sanches
Bale - Suarez - Giggs

Finished up on 25-13, not unhappy with that, a few frustrating losses this morning but no shockers.

Going to get De Gea in goal and Overmars for Giggs in the next week rest of the team is great.

Unless of course are meaning how are you not getting improving ?

The thing is for the first time in ages I felt like I was actually improving, just crap things going against me. Main issue would still be breaking teams down and getting a pass through, for the amount of times I try the face up dribbling I just have no space to do it and get muscled off the ball every time. Admittedly I've got Modric at CAM so physical isn't great, but still.
 
really scratching my head ATM.

Last week I was in Division 3 were I normally stay or yoyo up and down. Desided to Spend a load of credits and made two very good teams high rated players and good informs.

Over the past week I really struggled and dropped down to division 5 where I could hardly win a match. Two season runing I just survived on the last day.

Nearly sold both teams and stop playing.

I swapped a few high rated players for cheap beasts which only dropped my rating for both teams by 1 and started to play with no manager.

I have now gone on to win 6 out 7 and drew one.......

2 games I needed to win to stay in div 5 and now only need 3 points from 5 games in the following season to gain promotion........
 
What team were/are you using? I think it's much easier to play with a settled team and players that you're used to rather than bringing in all new players and expecting it immediately to click.

I've always kept a very similar 'core' in my team as I know what those players can do, where they should be in the formation etc. Bringing in loads of expensive players and expecting them just to win you games so often has the opposite effect.
 
I found some form last night/today and have 16 wins with 12 remaining after the worst start ever. Should be relatively easy to get 2 more wins...he says.

OTW Higuain is such a good target man, enjoy using him him and Dybala up top.

I thought you played 4321 or 433 ? Noobish how does 4312 play and what league does it lend itself to?

I did but not with this team mate.. Not played 4321 in ages makes me a defensive mess. Just continued the win streak to 11 and bottled it by getting smalling sent off in 5 mins and conceding a pen shouldn't have lost either but my own fault. 23 wins with 5 to play gold 1 again should be a cert and I'm concentrating on that Elite monthly.
