*** The Official FIFA 17 Thread ***

I'm struggling to put together a second hybrid team for fitness purposes. 4-3-1-2 formation. Trying to get Antonio Valencia in to it, which is meaning I need Bailly; Smalling is in my first team. Currently got Koulibaly, Hysaj, Allan, and Pepe Reina so i've been trying to get that combo for the other side of defence but struggling to get full chem. Currently I have Ogbonna LCB, Kouyate CCM, Lanzini CAM which gives hyperlinks so no problem, except i have Neil Taylor (non rare 75 at LB :eek: ) also trying to put it together on a very tight budget.


I could put this together for 60k, and 55k of that is the CB pairing.

Or this for about 15k or so.

Just noticed that the CCM is on 6 chemistry.. ugh :( Please help :p Could be a combination of either of the above or something similar. Needs to be 4-1-2-1-2(2) or 4-3-1-2. I'd like to get Valencia in. Andre Gray and Wilson I have in my squad already and I'd like them to both or at least one to stay in.

Bought Villa and Torres. So far Villa has been awesome and Torres invisible.

Got to final of wl qualifying and he scored a goal I reckon would have made it into goals of the week, if only I could have figured out recording :(

Anyway lost that on penalties, great!
 
In other news Costa makes a really good CAM and had a very irate message in Dutch telling me to get cancer and die when I beat his Ronaldo SBC Suarez and Bale team :)

People feel so entitled to a win these days because they have a "better" team, it's sad.

Haha exactly the same! Torres just feels like a Kane, all leggy, slow, unagile, at least EA got one player like his real life counterpark right ;)

Anyway, selling them both, Villa is far too hard to get a decent team around, he was really nice in the games I played with him.

I had to win the last game of div 2 then to get promoted and WL qualification, 2-0 down at 65th min mark then A Gomez hits a hat trick late on, I was chuffed!
 
That Mertens Hazard team looked great, i really dislike Pogba but still use him due to lack of other strong options, that said at a CM role like you have he would be better suited than Eriksen.

In other news i went back to 4231 due to Jony going clutch and i was previously 0-0-4 in Division 1 due to failing hard.. I went and won 4 on the bounce with it then lost my last game to stay up (im good at being 1 game off and bottling it).. Think i may take a look into my team to run that formation this weekend league and see how it goes.

edit: Legends were on PS4 search last night and the skill upgrades were out Son, Lacazette, Ousmane Dembele to name a few however the patch was removed promptly.

What's your team now Quinnaay?

Would love to have the bayern trio on the left side but way too expensive for me without sacrificing MOTM son and eriksen.

I know it's a while ago, but going to dabble in these today and see how we get on. 3 games to get 2 points to get consecutive promotions up to division 3, hopefully i'll manage to qualify for WL too this week. Not touched custom tactics at all this fifa. And thanks Ree, will look into the Firmino/Coutinho CAm with Napoli Back line :)
 
Won DKT last night, didn't get anything noteworthy from the electrum pack. Only got 4 more to do for the PL SBC Kane as well, although I know already I'm probably never going back to a BPL team.
 
Agree with people on here about Torres. Tried the 88 one didn't feel very good at all. Got rid in order to get SBC Suarez back up front in 4321, as I was using him at CAM in 433-4 but the LW/RW do not get involved as much as I like.

Thinking of selling pogba putting motm son there and then switching 4231 with alli and casimiro as the cdms. Other 4 attack.
Also considered OTW kante for Pogba..

edit: think ill move Pogba out and play SBC Suarez on 8 chem in CM save me coins, and him being wasted.

I tell you what, 4IF Verratti isn't really floating my boat at the moment. He's done distinctly ok, and thats about it. Nothing too special. Now i use in predominantly a defensive role as I use my 3 cm's to shield the defence, but his tackling etc. hasn't really seemed a step up over his NIF. A shame really ashe cost me 120k which i think i could recoup. I'd have around 500k then and have briefly thought about upgrading my Kante to the MOTM or IF, as I use him in both of my teams and keep him loaded up with fitness cards.

That said, I think i need to spend some coins, currently having 75 Taylor at LB, 77 Kouyate at CDM and 78 Lanzini at CAM I think there are vast areas for improvement :p Namely Moussa Dembele and Cristian Eriksen along with Danny Rose most likely.

Or I could go nuts and buy a legend CDM/CB


edit: got to the final again, lost. think that's 4-0 in finals now, maybe 5-0

Verratti is like 4'7 so I'm not surprised he's not that great defensively :p I'd get rid and then spend some coins on getting a nice team.

I think a solid back 4 is so important, I've used this for ages:

Walker - Smalling - Boateng - Alaba

In my opinion it's the best back 4 without legends / silly TOTY/IFs and you can have Butland in net with Sanches at CM or Fahmman if you want to go PL from the midfield onwards.

edit: that's not a great record in finals! I don't think I've lost a DKT game in a loooooong time, I did it last week to qualify and got 3 rage quits out of 4 including a half-timer in the final.
