FIFA 18

Just put both of my squads up for sale with a view to making the one I mentioned earlier, should have around 1.7m after everything sells.

Messi's normal card is down to 900k, not sure if it's game breaking enough to be worth having though.

Messi is an absolute dream to use in lag free games but with the button lag and latency issues during prime time dribbling can be god awful. Neymar is also fantastic without delay.

That was happening last night and made defending awful. Gabriel Jesus 1 on 1 with my defender and the game freezes for 3 seconds every 2 seconds. Great fun.

I've found Willian and Jesus the two most annoying little ***** so far.

Maybe I should be happy I'm not facing better squads

Robbo · 24 Oct 2017 at 11:57

I faced a guy in WL with Lev Yashin in goal, Henry up front and Overmars too, and every shot against Yashin went in (all from Dybala). Was quite amusing.

Won 5-1 in the end.

The temptation to get Dybala is so strong right now, but that cost. This is what I have at the moment, no upgrades here are going to be particularly cheap and I don't want to go messing about with hybrids just yet.

Do you find that Anderson gets knackered really quickly? He's really good, but I just can't get him to be useful for an entire game

Robbo · 24 Oct 2017 at 12:11

Dybala is great, while he's very expensive he was worth it. I could smash them in against any GK from 25 yards on his weaker foot, and if you get through on goal he never missed.

I can see why his price is high, he's much better than Mertens.

I'd like Dybala but I can't use any formations that has two strikers annoyingly, I'll always go back to 4321. I'll eventually get him, he was one of my top 10 players in 17.

I just can't get on with 4321, do you have custom tactics set to keep the team deep and counter? If you don't counter I don't see how it can be that effective.

I'm one of those weird people on FUT Champs that almost never bothers making substitutions unless I get a red card somewhere. Can't say I've noticed it; he's played 78 and scored 51. Stats are almost exactly the same as Cuadrado and a billion times cheaper. As for Dybala/another striker it's frustrating the top ones like Mertens, Gomez etc rely entirely on pace, best one stat wise with pace/physical is Belotti but he's a bit meh. Did have IF Immobile for a few games and he did OK.

Could also try a 4-1-2-2 (2) but fundamentally that team above right now is OK, although I do want Florenzi/IF Ghoulam and one of Buffon/Handanovic

I found that. Could try Callejon, he has 92 stamina compared to Andersons 78.

About division5 ? If so have you a link i can’t find

no about skill gap...

Managed to get straight though to Div 4 without losing a title

Trying to come up with a more structured team, inspired by Andy's Hernandez (who I didn't even know was on the game).

I've noticed Suarez is around 500k now, but he's not the quickest...

Could it be better to drop a fast striker to CAM rather than having an actual midfielder? Kovacic has OK pace though. Is Oblak the best La Liga keeper?

I could sneak 88 Overmars in here on the left instead of Carrasco, and keep Luis Hernandez.

Do Icon prices tend to crash dramatically or are they a decent buy?

spluff · 24 Oct 2017 at 13:56

Have 1.8m saved up + BPL and Serie A teams - was thinking of selling both teams and buying Ronaldo and players to fit around him?

Is Ronaldo worth it? Or should I be looking at Icons etc?

Opinions please

Ayahuasca · 24 Oct 2017 at 14:00

Ronaldo definitely still the best gold card in the game, any of the attacking icons better than him will be above your budget I think.

Cheers yeah they will be...

Is it worth getting this week or waiting? If this week is Wednesday the best night?

Robbo · 24 Oct 2017 at 14:13

Has anyone tried a few of the icon strikers?

Luis Hernandez
Shevchenko
Crespo
Kluivert
Larsson

Are all quick and look interesting? Van Basten 91 looks a beast but seems a bit slow. Not sure which to have up front.

Bergkamp 90 looks a bit steep price wise!

I like fast, awkward strikers rather than anything fancy, so trying to work out who fits that role best.
