FIFA 19

With Aguero's hattrick yesterday, he's got a good shot at a TOTW. May try and grind out G1 tonight :o
Anyone else not getting on with 4231? I find that I'm more comfortable in attack and defence when using 4222 :/

I'm to impatient to play the passing game so 4231 never worked for me, in fact my whole record would be so much better if I didn't keep trying to persuade myself that that formation was the one.

41212 (2) ideal for me, I'm so much more effective attacking when I don't press the sprint button other than getting onto through balls.
 
Definitely! Reason I tried was having SIF Gomez at CCAM. I'm more comfortable with 2 ST formations.
If I ever get Crespo, I'll be playing 4222 with Aguero/Crespo at ST and Rivaldo/FB Tevez as wide CAMs.
 
Switching between 41212 and 4231 post patch. Depends what I'm up against really, 4231 is still the more solid formation though imo. I've encountered a lot of 433 and then they spam the wings with pace and try cross. Quite effective tbh.
 
I take it FB Baines interests nobody as he hasn't been mentioned yet :p

Plenty of in game stats but height and strength makes him a waste considering the other options available at LB.

I never liked 4231, the CAMs felt disjointed, I much prefer 41212(2) with one of the Strikers set at False 9, gives a really good layout with 1 person working as a Shadow Striker.

I must get back to 41212-2, that's what I used extensively back in 17 but 4222 feels more natural to me this year.

Re; FB Baines, I'm happy with Futmas Van Aanholt for 10-12k that he cost me. Only tradables in my team now are Aguero/DDG :D
 
i could feel in the weekend league the game didn't want me to win a game when i was 2-1 up. my players couldn't do anything and they had a corner i managed to clear up to halfway line and behold Eder Militao (future version) is there (my best player for defending a corner with).

i had to resort to time wasting which is something i never do and detest anyone who does it. it's a game after all. luckily i managed to hold on but it was against me.

another thing i have noticed is if you tell someone to stay forward and the opposing player uses a full back to attack. that player will now come much deeper even though i have told him to stay forward. else all i need to do is pass to him and he would be through on the wing. he now comes so deep from a RCAM role he is playing RCDM. this is how the game helps people who play attacking and therefore not punishing them when people break against them.

if people want to complain about AI defending then mechanics like this need to be fixed. if you decide to run the full length of the pitch with your full back to use them for crossing then i should be allowed to take advantage of the fact you only have 2 or 3 at the back. rather than force my players deeper so their CM can mark them. if they don't bring them forward my CAM will play 30 yards higher up the pitch normally.

so the game rewards attacking play.

i favour 2 striker formations for link up play. i also like crossing 4222 has always been my go to but it's never felt right until this latest patch. i now need to convert a CAM to ST. the main issue is nobody in the hole to link up with or for long shots most of the time.

How often do people use fitness cards?

never - you should have 2 teams and rotate them unless you are a serial pack buyer
 
am not a pack buyer and only use the one team and just buy fitnesses when needed (usually a bulk buy to stock up). makes no sense having two especially when there is most likely a massive gap between quality of players in the two squads.
 
2 teams to rotate is suicide if wanting to compete in the higher divisions and rivals. Unless you've got millions to make equally as good teams. Your best bet is to make 1 super team and just use a fitness card, helps get used to the team and feel of It too.
 
You would use the fitness team on squad battles not Rivals/WL. I just use fitness cards as got loads at the mo.

For people with more time and no fitness cards a second team works fine.

Agreed. At this point in the game you really need a strong team.

Played 6 WL games last night with Eusebio and won them all. His normal shots are like timed shots sometimes, some weird animations, it’s great :D

One of the teams would be rubbish then unless your spending loads on packs or don’t have a job and can spend all day grinding for coin.

no you simply half your budget for both teams.

yes i could have 1 better team but look at all the people who sell their team and build another on a weekly basis. i don't feel the need to because i have 2 teams.

also at one point i had 6 teams i think it was and I used them all.

Bundesliga - Spanish - French - Serie A - Brazil and Premiership.

I sold them all to re-build what I have now and I have been slowly upgrading the 2 teams I have.

A fitness card costs 1K and you get like 500 coins per match. Makes zero sense in using them unless like I said you are a pack buyer.
