The goal net one is a good one, often took me a few seconds to realise a goal had been scored! Of course keeper and shooting amendments were urgently needed.

Packed OTZ Bruma and a black card of Knassmuller doing SBC challenges!

Ive got my French team as good as it will get now without going after the absurdly expensive players.

My improvements now are the likes of Benzema, Pogba, Umtiti, Varane, Griezzman, Martial etc so it's going to be a long hard slog now to improve

The 1-2 spam is utter toxic in higher divisions, not gonna bother with WL till defenders are actually manually controlled and don't rush forward leaving the 1-2 through balls on every time, once you know how to do it effectively it becomes the only way to win at higher levels.

I've even tried custom tactics with pressure and aggression all the way down and defenders still move off the striker/forwards leaving lanes open.

I think there is a loan Ozil you can get in the EA Points thingy, try him from there?

Not high enough level but picked up david silva for 32k and hes a massive upgrade on lanzini. Works the pocket nicely and delivers lovely through balls. Also minor upgrade from rondon to benteke. Not much in it stats wise but benteke feels much better on the ball.

OTW Balde Diao, think he's worth getting? I can see him getting a few IF's the season.

Getting frustrated with this now on career mode. It seems I've got to work 10x harder than the AI to get a decent goal. The AI gets within the 18 yard box and boom finess shot straight into the net 8/10 times.

That squad battles is criminal, i only play legendary and my god it picks and chooses when its going to score. I especially love it when they fetch both Ronaldos on too which are un-touchable. Sitting in Elite at the moment but not convinced i'll stay there.

Finally built a mediocre team and played a game in Div 10...first game Lanzini scored 6 at CAM, he's always such a great player for me.

When's the best time to sell? Got a fair few players to flog.

Yeah it's very unpredictable. Sometimes legendary feels like semi pro and sometimes it feels unbeatable. I'm aiming for Elite 2. I'm on target, not playing all games on legendary and I lost a couple at the start...

I use his normal card and it's very good, lethal weak foot. Going to grab the OTW ASAP.

What team are you using him in?

Kenai · 5 Oct 2017 at 23:00

What's the OTW people keep referring to?

TOTW is obvious but I can't figure out OTW for the life of me, though I'm sure it's blindingly obvious

Kenai · 5 Oct 2017 at 23:05

How do you know if a card is one of those or just a regular card then?

GreenMint · 6 Oct 2017 at 01:40

Is it just me, or did the improvements they say they made to gks in the patch actually work?

Don't get me wrong, scoring still isn't *hard* but the gks in my games tonight did seem to make more saves where you would expect them to do so.

Liking Rooney at CAM in 41212, Bats & Deene up front, really want to like Deeney but even with his strength he just doesn't seem to be able to hold off much.
