FIFA 19

Rabiot is great, just not a defensive mid. In fact I don't have anyone with /H work rates, I just have Fabinho to stay back who is just a beast at intercepting and tackling. Had Casemiro twice and both times my form went massively downhill so blame him.

Scream Veratti is very good if you could get him in.
 
NIF Ben Yedder I used for a few games and liked him, I get the Europa one and I can't do anything with him! I could sell for profit so tempted...

I nearly have enough for an Icon, I take it the cheaper variants like Bergkamp aren't worth it? Even playing at CAM?

After telling me LB and RB for almost all of eternity I decided to swap them to mixed attack and holy **** it creates so much space for attacks. I'm in division 3 and just smashed somebody 9-1. The amount of space Mbappe and Neymar had was unreal.

I found counter attacks were horrendous to defend as they were always out of position.
 
I keep watching YT vids of Bergkamp and he looks great, of course YouTube highlights can make anyone/thing look great. I know I'll regret it and lose 100k selling him. I won't afford anyone better any time soon unless I got something amazing in rival awards, I refuse to put any money into the game, ha.
 
I just realised I had loan Messi for 3 games, he's nice to use, fast and nimble, similar to Neymar. I can't afford him anyway but interesting if he's actually worth it this year.

Inexplicably up to 1840 rating by changing to the 41212 narrow with this team:

Donnarumma
Florenzi - Benatia - Koulibaly - Sandro
Savic
Naingolan - Hamsik
Dybala
Gomez - Mertens

Got 110k in the bank but apart from Handanovic there aren't any obvious upgrades

p2w brah
 
I haven't played against many Icons, the only one to stand out was Cryuff. I played a number of times against Rivaldo, Stotchkov, Hagi, Rui Costa, Campbell etc and they've never stood out.

The problem is with Icon center mids like Scholes/Gerrard/Lambard etc, how are they going to stand out? Passing is just random and even the best players with great passing make the same mistakes as NIF players. They're not built or quick enough to be like Pogba so pointless spending the ridiculous money for them,

Ronaldo is a nightmare to play against as he can do everything, short/long shots, heading, corners etc. Just need to be on it constantly to stop him.
 
I tend to switch to 442 if one goal up with 15 mins left, not to 'hold on', it is just so well balanced and defensively sound.

I generally use 41212(2) have varying setups of it and U Defensive is set to 451(2) with EVERYONE pulled back!

if I'm 1 up near the end I generally switch to attacking, not defensive as I find it mush easier to play a small structured build up game behind enemy lines than try and fumble it around my defense, at this time the opponent is also more than likely on Attacking so not as many in defense to stop what I try to do, I don't really do "conventional" :D

That is why you lose 8 in a row

I didn't get to near the end of most of those games! I think Div 5 finally kicked in and whooped me! :D Skill rating got higher than my actual skill, started playing against people with 2 hands! :(

I got relegated to Div 5, I was in Div 3 last week! :D

I'm great one evening then woeful the nex. The problem is when I lose and playing poor, I don't switch off the game, I just keep playing and getting worse, changing tactics, teams, camera angles, controls everything - its great!! I think I'm due a good night tonight.
