433 (4) i can never beat, yet when I use that formation it seems so terrible.

What did the last patch actually change? I'm still getting tackled by the AI, the stamina issue is terrible, even not playing a high pressing game your players have no fitness at around the 60 minute mark.

Reduced distance for auto blocks, AI defending is certainly less op you actually have to press the tackle button now and I believe they nerfed 360 no scopes in the last patch.

I see they changed the rival rewards yet still div 3 rank 3 is better than rank 1. Lol EA.

I don’t know how anyone uses Lukaku, Pogba on the other hand is up there for me as one of the best in the game, for midfielders I could only put Vieira and Gullit ahead of him I reckon.

Generally he's ok, good from corners, runs past defenders once he hits full speed because of his physicality, but he just isn't clinical enough. With Lewa or even Werner, i'm confident I'll put a chance away 9 times out of 10. With Lukaku, i've posted in here a few times i can be in the perfect position, balanced, etc. etc. and it'll fly past the post, i just don't understand it.

I haven't used many other 'top class' midfielders, idk if i just expect too much from him. IF Thomas Partey is brilliant however. He does seem to flourish more in a CAM position, although 1 game every 5 he'll run the show, the rest he'll show me nothing special.

Condensing down into 2 teams would also give me the opportunity to sell IF Tony Valencia and Alexis Sanchez too, although then I'd struggle to get Pogba into a team. Decisions decisions.

I think I'll stop playing until a significant patch comes out, every game is trying to work decent play to score only for the team to counter and score a finesse from 30 yards. It's terrible. Now 5atb galore due to the youtube bandwagons

Ayahuasca · 7 Dec 2018 at 12:51

That's enough WL for me today, the gameplay is atrocious once again.

First weekend league for me due work commitments and I’d forgotten how awful it is!

Had 2 rage messages after coming back from being 2-0 down. Notice I’m playing lesser teams than div 5 rivals, some of those I’ve been facing are ridiculous.

Soulja · 7 Dec 2018 at 14:44

I'm thinking if trying something like this and switching to 41212 in game. I should be able to get mbappe to 7 or 8 chemistry.

5ATB is the new meta? Where are you seeing this?

Asking for a friend.

Dybala or Mertens? Assuming the general consensus is Mertens for ST, Dybala for CAM, either for CF?

It balances out pretty quickly, I'll win 8 or 9 of my first 10 and then it all gos to ****.

I have preferred Mertens for last couple of years, just suits me better. Always play him at CAM in 41212 narrow though, behind IF Immobile/Icardi.

Kept playing, 4 wins in 16 matches, played a load of elite 1 and some top 100 players. What a joke.

What’s the point when nearly every team I’m coming up against is this stacked? Maybe I shouldn’t play on Fridays as this is the first time.

Quinnaay · 7 Dec 2018 at 15:44

Fridays are tough after the first 7 games because the better players are hammering it and getting there form up faster.

Finally got another win, I’ll leave the remainder for the weekend. I’ve no idea what’s going on I usually finish G1 when I can play all the games. Skill rating fluctuates between 1800-2000!

NooBish AbbZ · 7 Dec 2018 at 16:39

Off work today so i’ve Played 16 games so far. 6 wins. Not going well, lost a few in extra time, last one on penalties after drawing 6-6. This game is really pathetic at times. Not having fun.

BGGLP · 7 Dec 2018 at 16:45

FUT seems to be where it’s at to really get into Fifa. Tried it before but all looked really confusing tbh so gave up after a few game’s.

Any tips? Will pick 19 up for Xmas.

4-1, lost the last game to an absolute stinker. Decent start nonetheless, might just play the rest tomorrow/Sunday

I started 4-0 before it went **** up, I’ve went 11-0 before then got hammered every game after pretty much.

Gone 5221 for tomorrow and had to bring in the premium sweatlord for full chem... Fred.

Quinnaay · 7 Dec 2018 at 21:50

7-1 at that stage on a Friday it's getting abit sweaty. Might call it there. Lost my 2nd game on pens too was a good player but hate losing that way.

chroniclard · 7 Dec 2018 at 21:52

Jeez, swapped UCL Ox for De Bruyne......now I am terrible!
