FIFA 19

Prime Best was great but being honest I would go with the first team. Marcelo is grea fun but he is definitely a luxury and make sure you use him for corners he’s really really accurate.

Sonny I thought you knew how to keep players away from that danger area easily :confused:

it's ridiculous when all a player has to do is have ronaldo in his team pass the ball to him and just mash the shoot button. guy had zero skill what so ever but i lost 3-2 just because he had ronaldo in his team.

Even with a decent team its quite tiresome playing the insane cards. Feel there are just too many special cards.

If you mean the scoop turn that's why I do. Balance is important in this iteration of Fifa though, so you do notice it.

Oh no, I know, but put engine on him too for that extra 10 balance!

I mean it's called Ultimate Team for a reason. Be pretty **** if we could only use Forrest Green players.

It is and there is an element of hypocrisy in my post as I spent a few quid, however it seems to be just more and more insane every year with endless cards and money sinks!

Its still good fun, I have 500 hours played, but may give it a miss next time.

Actually skipped 17 and 18 after I got banned for coin buying.

played lots of Sol Campbells recently and he seems to move in slow motion? Really clumsy and unagile

Bit frustrating that I can barely play at weekends and that means I just can't generate enough coins to upgrade / play around with teams. I don't think I can afford a similar quality team to my Serie A team in any other league which is a bit annoying so just sort of grinding away. Contemplating a hybrid using Griezmann and Suarez up top <somehow> but can't seem to do it without a formation change / sub at the start which I don't want to do

the only other defenders which are as good and cheap are bundesliga or a french team with the likes of kimpembe, kondogbia, etc. serie a defensively is so good in terms of cheap quality. scream caceres is unreal.

So, new team:

4231 - Fernandinho or Fabinho will go to CB, Marcelo to CDM, and Militao to left back, I don't use them to attack much and he seems fast enough and decent defensively. Also allows Casillas to be tried. I do have better RB's in the club but chem is a slight issue.

I used untradeables mostly for VVD, and got about 150k back from the packs, so he cost around 180k in total, which I thought was decent, especially if he goes up to 91 next month.

5-2 so far, playing pretty well and trying not to rage. Coming up against 88/89 rated teams isn't helping either; came up against TOTY Mbappe who's just a train that doesn't stop. Beat him comfortably 3-1 with my own NIF Mbappe doing the job, like.

Gold 1 last week and now I'm struggling to get to gold 3. My players can just not get into any space and 99% of goals conceded have been finesse shots ....yawn.

Stewy · 12 Jan 2019 at 17:05

Sigh, got really excited at the idea of the 87-rated Vrsalkjo, didn't realise you need _12_ wins in Online Singles :/

JustBen · 12 Jan 2019 at 17:17

Scored a free kick in one game and then two the next =) Marco alonso has played 289 games and only scored 15 so doesn't score many=)
I'm on my best run of 8 wins in 12. I lost my first 3 games off the weekend league as well.
Usuallt I get silver 1 with a few games left

Soulja · 12 Jan 2019 at 17:39

^Nice little run there mate. Push for gold 3

I've solved one of my biggest mistakes. I always played my 3 CAMS with stay forward instructions but leaving them on balanced pressures the other team more and creates more space when attacked on the counter as well.

Looks expensive!

Bale costs around 1.7m :eek:
