FIFA 19

Well back down to Division 4, lost 7 on the bounce. I've lost count of the number of rebounds and utter ******** I've conceded tonight. I know its all circular and it'll come back to me another time but doesn't help in the moment. Going to bed to sulk.
I cant get out of div 4, just keep getting recked. My team plays like turd in rivals, ive just seen your message i can play now if your on.
Team for the WL:
Switching to 4-2-2-2 ingame. Reus and Auba are a great strike duo.
Kimmich isn't ideal but he's just about fast enough to cope.
I've had Oblak untradeable from near the start and he's been the most solid goalkeeper I've tried, though I'm probably going to swap to Courtois and Varane and try them at some point.

I'm starting to think this FIFA just isn't going to my cup of tea this year. The game doesn't suit my style, I have no patience with slow build up play or possession football. I'm just used to fast, smooth counter attacking football and the game play restricts this so much. I literally have to change how I play which I have used for as many FIFA's as I can remember. Even when I get the odd win there is no enjoyment as I play crap, I'd actually like losing as long as I could play my game but there is no hint of this ever being the case. Argggh
Couldn't get on with that mega team of mine, so have sold up and gone back to mostly Brazil. Needs to be this way to get the most out of Neymar. Would love to have Mbappe/Bale on that right side instead, could maybe look at getting Varane back in properly.

Strange, thats how I tend to play, fast direct build up play/counter, seems ok to me on the whole. Play a 4 2 3 1 formation.
It just feels clunky, the passing and control are so inconsistent you can't rely on speed, you feel you have to control the ball using the close dribbling and then pick your pass so carefully, by the time the opposition have everyone back in their own half. Tiki-taka style has well and truly gone.
I do rate my progress on my win/loss record. My record is just W/L/W/L/W/L. I can't ever get in a rhythm.
Have you messed with custom tactics and different formations, fast flowing counter attacks are definitely possible but a lot of people are using really deep tactics and don't over commit when going forward. When I was letting my fullbacks overlap I was getting rinsed by crosses.

Gentlemen, so i’ve been on Fifa for the last hour and a half just playing with squads and i’ve landed with these. Scraped together enough coins for a Casemiro to link Fabinho/Kroos to make that team possible and grabbed a Goretzka too. How do you think they look? Obviously a few players being re-used; namely SBC Juanfran, Pogba, Godin(easily swapped for Gimenez) UEL Tah, Wendell, Kroos. Unfortunately still not managed to get OTW Mariano into a team which is a shame; he always seems
To be in the right place for me and has good all round stats; I use him with Hawk
i Must say that as someone who generally ends up with good players; just.. much later in the Fifa year(feb-March sorta time) i’m happy that I have a potential ‘end-game’ midfield and right side of defence already
Advice welcome

I have messed with just about every option in the game, especially custom tactics, I tend to be cautious with the usual fullbacks/CM on stay back, I'm messing with camera angles
- I did similar with 18 until I had a winning formula. I just can't get my head around why I was pretty good at 18 and after an equally horrible start, using 41212 (2) narrow was great for me, it seems everything that was successful in 18 doesn't work in 19.Maybe I should just go back to 18...!
My team for WL is going to be this: https://www.futhead.com/19/squads/339814/
Think I may miss having Fabinho in midfield, need Fred in there for full chem, also be subbing Jesus on at striker as he's still got the best goal to game ratio in my club
got quite lucky with the midfield packing all 3 from untradeable UCL SBC's.

Try something like a 4231 with the CAM’s all set to stay forward and striker to get in behind. Play fairly narrow and with fast build up. Perhaps try constant pressure too as it forces mistakes and you can launch a counter more quickly.
I don’t play possession and try to go from front to back as fast as I can usually, however I tend to attempt timed finesse shots from anywhere within 30 yards of the goal

4231 I think I have used enough to know it doesn't work for me, I'll be going to the 5atb formations at this rate
Crosses still seem op, counter attack is not as brutal as previous FIFA's though I still seem to score a lot of goals on the break. The sudden through ball counter seems to be less effective as in your centre backs seem quicker to pickup on it.
