FIFA 21

Kimmich is great! 2 goals on debut from CDM, think he is possibly wasted at CDM......so silky and lethal long shots.

Did tons of Bundes upgrades and nowt so had to buy him.

By high lines how high? It's more a defending counter attacking game than ever, 4/5 depth is what I use at the moment and I'm 9-1.

As for Boateng, I've had him nutmegged, he's auto lunged multiple times and missed and he's also getting shoved off the ball by most attackers. I expected and wanted a VVD presence big strong into the tackle and commanding, I can cope with the lack of pace if he's a brute but he's neither.

10

It's been great for the previous 3 WL (prior to last weekend where I didn't play)

I'm 2-4, literally the worst start this FIFA

The counter-attacking is awful even if you play deep. Saint-Maximim may as well be an icon.

Yep, everything seems all about backs to the wall countering.

Fifa never seems to really be for the folk who enjoy a bit of a passing game.

I do tire of constant pressure from some players. It's insane and totally unrealistic.

Started 10-0, now 12-3, team is carrying me.

Had one loss where I got a complete 5-0 demolishing.
One loss where all the bounces went his way, annoying but nothing you can do.
And then my first rage quit of the year, literally the only thing the guy did was abuse the scoop / juggle, couldn't do anything else. He pulled it back to 3-3 so I quit because **** him and his mechanic abuse.

Edit:

17-10, stopping there, gameplay today was horrific.

TOTY VVD might have to go, not loving him at all.

Not sure I can continue playing this game. The stuff that comes out my mouth and the mood it puts me in is ridiculous.

Getting so frustrated at defences sitting so deep and just using the likes of Mbappe to break away.

1 win away from Silver 1 and struggling to get it

Andybtsn · 31 Jan 2021 at 17:35

Changed my team, CR7/Sanchez and a few others out and back in Mbappe/Pogba, won 10 on the trot.

Grinded and got me a TOTY KDB, get in

I get accused of playing 1 depth when in actual fact I have it on 10, not saying you are but some players accuse those who are ok at defending at playing 1 depth and drop back. I'm certainly not a good defender for the record, but I think there's more to it when you can't break down players down. I agree the game is all about counter attacking though.

Yeah, this is why I didn't buy Fifa 21 after playing Fifa 20 for a year

Nah their defensive line is always parked well back.

Like it makes sense it its helping them win and I'm just not very good at breaking it down.

I eventually got Silver 1 with 5 games to go but f trying to get the other 3 wins for gold.

Yeah, I think I need a break from it. My days off are supposed to be chill and WL just ruins them.

Haha, my wife asked me how many games I still needed to play and I said I had 2 wins...she said why don't you have the weekend off... she knows its like a job I have to do each weekend.

It becomes an addiction.

Like I'm a fairly chill person but Fifa can wind me up no end!

What did you manage to get this weekend? Any tips on breaking down defences!

I'm 10-4, will deffo get to 11, see if there is time for 14.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, I just whore 1-2s and getting to the byline to cut back. Use high depth 4312

Not bad, you get to 11 far quicker than me that's for sure.

Maybe I need to try something new

Struggling to defend with toty kimmich as he's too fast jockeying.....had same issue with toty kante in the past.....end up running past people

SuperMan · 31 Jan 2021 at 20:58

Quinn your boateng must be broken. He has been unreal for me and just got a 10/10 review by futbin writer.
17 wins and done for me. Was 12-2 at one point.

Yeah, I found the same thing, it feels like a job. The stress just ruins the weekend. And since I'm not very good (I was Gold 2 on a good weekend, Gold 3 on a bad one) I stressed all 3 days. Not like some streamers and probably some people on here where the first 10 games are a breeze (except maybe 1 or 2) and things only getting tough as you get near 17 or above, for me every game was tough.

Also for the packs and coins I got Elite 1 in Squad Battles each week, so I was playing a lot of Fifa each week. Plus rivals games to try for Rank 1 or 2 as well as objectives.

Do I miss Fifa this year? I miss bits of it. However, my weekends have been much better.

This is where I'm at just now. I might just play quite casual with friendlies for a bit. I do enjoy it sometimes and every so often you get a cracking open game and if you lose its a case of taking it on the chin.

It's also impacted my time with other games which isn't ideal.
