FIFA 18

Had a few games with IF Dembele up top last night, plays well, srong, not too slow, good shots, makes good runs, do like him, but Benzema may have to go, preferred him as a False 9 rather than a 2 up top striker, TOTGS Ben Yedder, perhaps?
 
Going to buy CR7 back later, was stupid to sell him to start with, he just fits my style of play perfectly. I'm tempted to use Rui Costa in an SBC to get someone like Prime Hernandez or Del Piero. Most of my goals come from winning the ball back and quickly getting the ball into the strikers to score, rather than patiently waiting, so the midfield just needs to be solid, it doesn't need to do anything special - De Bruyne for example is totally wasted at CM for me. Having said that, Rui Costa is really good and he's strong too which helps. Mbappe is a great partner for CR7 and isn't expensive. It's boring to use Bakayoko all the time but he's just so amazing at CDM, ridiculous player.

I was thinking to maybe keep Rui Costa and have Aubameyang next to CR7 (linking them is a bit awkward though).

Has anyone tried TOTGS Mbappe?

Briefly, in honesty I'd just get the normal Mbappe, the IF's aren't dramatically different.

I can't fault his NIF tbf. How is Pogba, his he worth the coins? Pogba or DDG and Kante are my only real route of upgrades for my team.
 
you must be racking up a serious amount of games?!

I've been just trickling away, usually 11/14 wins in the WL and 4 wins in SBs.

Has the market been coming down a lot recently that I've been completely unaware of? Checked the value of my team and it's about 100k less than last week :(

Typically do all 40 on the weekend then play the 4 SB games during Mon-Fri, then will play the additional SB rounds if I really need to. Probably about 600 games so far?

Kante is excellent with the exception of his height, having a short midfield can be annoying at times. DDG makes great reflex saves with his feet and has good distribution, but he's not the best at saving long shots and doesn't seem to be a beast in 1v1's like Neuer. Neuer comes charging out and makes himself huge, some people don't rate him but he was good for me.

Pogba is a difficult one, if you don't make use of his strength and skill moves, he'll be wasted - he's not particularly fast either. If he was 200-250k it would be a totally different story, but he's currently 520k~!
 
Pogba just seems so overrated for what he brings to FUT, hes like a 5* skill Fellaini!

Quite enjoying IF Terreira, aggressive little git, reminds me of Kante & Lass Diarra back in FUT11! :D Might try Hamsik at CM instead, though, and TOTGS Andre Silva looks worth a try!

Kante would be playing CM with Bakayoko CDM and Sissoko CM, so height isn't that much of an issue with my midfield. Currently using Herrera with those two and can't fault him. Neuer would require me to get a Bayen triangle, currently using Handanovic on 8 chem and he seems fine.
 
How do you shield this year?
I can't for the life of me shield a ball which leads to a lot of wasted possession.

And how you apply pressure as my players seem happy enough to wait for the ball to come to them/opponent.

Is sprinting not a thing either? My players tend to just jog with the ball even with plenty of space in front, leading to defenders catching up a lot of times.
 
Shielding is pretty much none existent now :( It was OP in 17 but literally you can't shoulder barge or anything now to hold the ball when clean through etc.
 
Shielding is crap now, but you have shoulder barge when clean through, well I do anyway.
When I had Diego costa earlier in the game he was good at shielding the ball, although people like cavanni and lewandowski who were alright at it last year are a bit naff this year. See they leaked 88salah in the game if you believe what you see on twitter. POTM for him it seems
