FIFA 19

I have a second team made up of WL rewards and other untradeables that I occasionally use in an online single games to replenish health of main team, I don't often have the time to do this between 2 WL games but the option is there. I'd rather have all my coins invested in the main team deffo.

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.

I use both teams in rivals / WL

my teams are

OTW Anderson - Flash Ibra - Allessandrini (sub on POTM Lucas)

------------ Eriksen -------

----- UCL Allan -- Live Fabinho ----

Live Luis - Future Militao - Sanchez - Live Aurier

------- Flash Casillas ----

From the above I want to upgrade Sanchez to Live version and then possibly upgrade Eriksen to one of his special cards. 3 cards are untradeable so i wouldn't get any money from them if i sold the team (Ibra , Casillas and Gomez)

------- IF Simeone ------

Dybala - Flash Tevez - 87 Gomez

- SMS - IF Vecino

IF kolarov - scream caceres - SBC Skrinrar - TOTY Vrsjlako

--------- Future Lafont ---------

I want to upgrade Skrinrar to his headliner card. SMS to his IF then see what happens with scream caceres if he loses his 90 defending I'll get Manolas or Koulibaly. Again 3 players are untradeable so I wouldn't get any money from TOTY Vrsjlako, Tevez or Gomez.


Both teams play similarly for me. As you can see both my teams are fairly similar in set up and majority of the players are cheap anyway.

Scream caceres is 14K, SMS is like 2K. Allan is 14K and Sanchez like 4K

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.

Fair enough, i would rather just have one great team- current squad is rated 87. Im a division 5/gold 3 so fairly average!
 
Not sure about selling Guendouzi now! Could get Kante and save up 300k, sell Nedved who is dropping like a stone and maybe be able to get 91 'Dinho!

squad rating doesn't matter until you get to squads worth millions. Not the pennies I'm playing with.

I'm using IF Vecino over Matuidi, Naingollan, Hamsik, etc. Because he is better at CDM albeit rated 83.

I'm using IF Simeone at ST because he's IMO better than Icardi (need a Serie A Argentinian for links to Tevez) and Higuain. He's 82 rated versus their 87/88 (i've used them both and Icardi was decent but he's no Simeone).

Same goes for caceres he's 78 rated iirc he's better than Prime Baresi when you stick Anchor on him. Crazy for 14K. He's 2 inches taller than Baresi with all defending stats 99 with anchor on bar 1 or 2.

yeah sure I'd love a team full of Icons and Ronaldo. But it's never going to happen even if I sell both my teams.

Why were you harping on about p2w and needing the best players to win if this is your theory?

see my edits above.

give me 10 million+ and i could make my team a lot better.

give me 500K and I can only buy 2 players and they would hardly change the team

hell give me 50 million and i reckon i could go 30-0.

so if i pay and get 10 millions coins my teams will improve dramatically. if i plug away at it they will improve slightly but never to the next level.

also i want you guys to keep using 1 team. means i can sell all my fitness cards for 1200 each. it provides me income for improving my teams. must have sold like 50 so 50K gets me a player or two.

whereas you guys with millions 50K gets you 50 fitness cards as all your players are 500K+ each. it took me 2-3 weeks to get the cash together for militao. now it's going to take me 1-2 weeks to get the cash for skrinrar.

Lots of people say this, it shows a serious lack of understanding of the game.

If you were getting 27+ wins with your team above then maybe, but somehow I doubt it.

I think there is an element of finding the right players for you that you can get the best out of, not always the most expensive ones but higher ratings never hurt!

A top 100 player could comfortably beat anyone on here with a 30k team, Sonny.

yeah and when we had the tourney on here i smashed people 6-0, etc with a team worth 25K.

so would a top 100 player beat them 10-0?

no it doesn't. the better players cost more money. to get more money you need to buy packs. simple as that really. so it's pay to win.

i regularly get to gold 1-3 with plenty of games left. it depends on how much spare time i have. if i had a better team then i would be getting higher. simple as that really.

the goals i concede are usually - much better player than me or stupid mistakes made by my players because they aren't as consistent or as good at doing everything as the icons are.

i know this for a fact as I packed an icon this year. he never missed a pass and he was played at CB (LB version of Maldini). it was near impossible ot get past him and on the ball he was amazing. now i need to use players with 33 passing (Manolas) it's night and day and he gives the ball away if i get pressured (high pressure).

having the top keeper would easily see me going from losing tight games to drawing or winning them.

So you don't even finish Elite but think you're gods gift to FIFA? Come on dude.

I've used a lot of Icons and while some are OP, most of the standard ones aren't any better than gold cards. NIF Neymar and Mbappe for example, they're more useful than the majority of attacking icons.

Having a better team would definitely help, sure it will give you another win or two, but that's about it for the most part. On FIFA 18 I had my best finish with a good but not amazing squad, when I added Gullit/Vieira/CR7/Ronaldinho it didn't transform my game. It was more fun though.

Goalkeepers are very unpredictable, they are the last player you should be relying on to save you. Moving them makes the biggest difference.
 
Got to agree with @Andybtsn here, whilst there is a pay2win aspect if you can afford the full meta icon/TOTY squads, an actual good player would finish elite with a cheap gold team.

Probably 100-0.

Stop referring to the tournament on here, Christ, I won one of them years ago!

well you said a top 100 player would comfortably beat people on here with a 25K team. and i'm just stating a fact that I comfortably walloped everyone on here bar 2 using a team less than 30K.

so you are the one that brought it up.

so are you saying adding Prime Maldini, Ronaldo CR7, CR9, Prime Eusebio, prime Gullit and Prime Vieira wouldn't see me winning in the tight games i lose/draw?

when i'm using players that cost as low as 5K in those positions?

it's obvious i would play better as i know the mechanics of the game very well. all i would need to do is get the ball to either ronaldo, create a yard then shoot.
 
Just going to join in with the dissenting voices here, unless you're hitting Elite 2 with the squads you have at the minute then going 30-0 is a pipe dream no matter what team you have.

i reckon i could have done in the past and maybe now if i hadn't stopped playing fifa for 6 years. this is the first time i've played it outside of the odd game at a mates house in like 6 years and i only play a few games a week.

i'm nowhere near as good as i was 6-8 years ago but i can hit gold 1 with games spare. i reckon elite would have been done easy 6-8 years ago or with an icon team now.

it was said in jest but to show the difference between a normal team and an icon team.

but that should be obvious to anyone with 2 brain cells by now.
 
Have you ever completed a WL sonny? Be interesting to know your best finish with your cheap team.

P.S your first 15 games record don't count(i.e getting 13-2 then stopping doesn't mean you would've got 26-4 if you finished all 30)
