FIFA 18

[Pen66]

Yup, card weights seem awful this year. Packed TOTGS Daley out of 18 packs (from a few premium gold packs, rare megapack, megapack, rare players pack etc. that I'd saved up from rewards) and nothing else apart from some 83 cards worth nothing.

I wonder if EA adjusted the weights with the inclusion of so many icon cards this year, at least it feels like it on PS4.

Also the difference between your average gold team and the high end/premium cards is ridiculous and feels massive this year, where as years before it was much easier to compete with a lesser team. EA have really fugged up the balance this year, there are only so many games of endless passing that you can bare.

Best side for around 800k ?
Have Cavanni untradeqble .
Thinking of 4321 , 433(4) or whatever people think works best . Not arsed about skill moves as I have none lol

 

[JustBen]

Guessing it’ll be value to go calcio

 

[SuperMan]

EA most certainly alter pack weight when they drop a promo. I didn’t get a single board from several packs, a few weeks ago I was getting boards for WL rewards without question.

 

[topher]

anyone tried IF Gnabry?

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Am I right in thinking the 86 Gullit is good but nothing special compared to the 90 version?

No

Sold a few bundesligue players and made this : http://www.futhead.com/18/squads/2001733/
I don’t have salah yet currently have mkhitaryan there but got the coins sat there waiting to be spent on him . He’s really good so I expect him to get another if at some point . The other option was stick with mkhitaryan and get either otw morata or lacazette
Manolas and bailey are my favourite cbs so fit them both in . Kolarov isn’t to bad , goood on the ball and a good defender . I have tolisso on the bench to bring on for can

OTW Salah's my favourite player so far. His finishing with both feet, despite the 2* WF, is really good and he scores a ridiculous amount of finesse shots. I'm hoping for at least two more IFs this season and perhaps a winter WF upgrade.

On for another Elite 1 finish in Squad Battles this week. I changed my player instructions on Friday and I'm now breaking down the low rated teams with ease. If I didn't mess up on Monday and not play again until Thursday I would've been close to top 100

Picked him up for 415k .
What team instructions you using ? I’m playing the WL this weekend but back to squad battles on Monday , usually elite 2 but struggle for elite 1 . I play games on legendary

 

[The Running Man]

Built a new team from a new formation as my 352 was getting stale and frustrating for some reason.
Came up with:

When I sell some players going to upgrade to the IF PERIERRA Portugal at cm and rb.

Fullbacks stay back, CDM stay back and all three strikers Get in Behind. If if's very high rated team I'll change it from Get in Behind to Balanced, or whatever it is, because it creates too much space between the midfield and attack making it harder to retain possession.

 

[Jony27]

Can't be bothered today.
Players feel no urge to play, doesn't sprint and no pressure to get to the ball whatsoever.

 

[Rex-Kramer]

Anyone used TOTGS Ben Yedder? Seems good for 100k?

 

[Janesy B]

Squad battles are just a nightmare since the last update. Red cards for nothing tackles, penalties for just 'containing' and 1 shot = 1 goal for the AI while the AI keeper has 20 arms or every shot bounces off the post. Just stopped playing and went to online seasons.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Finished on just over 92,000 this week but I was 5-0 up in the last game, had 10 shots on goal, 10 corners, 65% possession and the AI went in to suicide mode and killed their attacker during a corner, got my player sent off and scored from the penalty.

With a decent Monday next week and playing Tuesday and Wednesday, rather than missing them like I did this week, top 100 is well in reach.

 

[Bigpig]

Should finish on Gold 1 for squad battles for my first week with Fifa18.

It’s boring as sin but it’s nice to have an alternative to the weekend league. Waiting for a decent team before I crank up the difficulty.

Have over 500 players in the club with a quick sale value of 171k and 90k cash.
Prob over 300k in total in market value.

Have on loan Aubameyang and he’s the best striker I have used in any Fifa. Just great at everything.

Think am going to build a German league team and a French fitness team.

I can afford him now but I really don’t want. To buy anything big yet as Futmas is just round the corner.

How is Griezmann this year?

 

[Goberpiles316]

I like squad battles

Finally updated the team and a formation I am enjoying, but I have to say like the person above since the patch I hit the post and he crossbar far too much.

 

[The Running Man]

Could fin ish for the first time in elite 2 this week.

Ate the two mega packs better than the it's 3 rewards though? I don't need consumables.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

In terms of value yes, in terms of rewards it's debatable and down to luck.

 

[GreenMint]

I'm gonna try him (TOTGS Ben Yedder) when my Benzema/If Dembele team fails (I give it 3 games!) did 4 ultimate packs today 1 low end TOTGS, few low end if, 3 fernandinho, 3 rafinha, not much to talk of really!
