Give him time! He's superb - not quite as clinical in finishing as Eusebio/CR 7 but the fear he puts into the opponent more than makes up for that!

I think its because I needed to deploy him at striker, and he just doesn't suit that role.

I'm sure somebody better on the ball like Quinnaaay would have a field deal with him, he just isn't suited to me.

He is on the market, going to bring in Ronaldo and possibly Messi for Neymar instead.

Only recently got this, bought £15 worth of packs and got Varane, Van Dijk, Fabinho and Jorginho which I was very happy with.

Struggling a lot online though, I just completed my 5 Division Rivals games and got chucked in Div 6 and now frequently get pasted by 3+ goals

What does everyone call the middle icons? We have babies & primes, but I've not found a name that sticks for the middle ones yet, seems everyone just uses the rating as the name!

Mid or Middle I suppose...

️ It's #TOTW 14 featuring 96 Lionel Messi , 91 Antoine Griezmann & 85 Gabriel Jesus #FUT #FIFA19 https://t.co/0H0RhcdkcP

Ohhh boy great time for Elite, to get offered Ings and Blind multiple times

No dynamic images though?!

I stopped on Silver 1, hope to get Messi.

chroniclard · 19 Dec 2018 at 15:09

I am deffo getting Messi, must be my turn for a decent pick. (Would settle for Jesus)

Rids · 19 Dec 2018 at 17:02

Think I'm going to take a break from this game, I don't know if I've suddenly gotten ****, or its dynamic difficulty adjustment or wtf it is, but I couldn't buy a good performance at the moment. Its not like I want to be the best, or win every game, but dropping 300 skillpoints and still being played off the park by inferior teams that walk through me like I'm not there has me giving it up for a while.

I seem to be stuck in the run into wall after wall of defenders then get hit on the break vortex.

87 Khedira having lower requirements than yesterday’s 81 rated LB(Which I completed)

Nothing of interest for me today; I think the main players I’d be interested in now would be a second Bundesliga CB in order to give UEL Tah a rest

Not the only 1, players first touches have got even heavier after the last update. My passes go way ward even more as well, guess adapting is key.

4231 is beginning to be a real chore to play with, it's clearly a really good formation for possession play but it's really all about pinging passes in triangles before a through ball, I just had the most boring of matches with another 4231 player, around 4 shots the whole game. Unfortunately, it's the only formation where I get positive results and I can't replace wins/draws for fun formations and losses.

Getting bored of my teams (losing a load of games

) so looking for something new. Got 440k and these are the best players knocking about in my club.

Untradeable; 89 Aguero, 90 Kroos, 89 Cavani, 87 Navas, 87 Lukaku, 86 UEL Tah, 86 Cancelo, 85 SBC Pavon, FUTSwap Guilavogui, 84 Gnabry,

Tradeable; RTTF Fahrmann 86, RTTF Tagliafico 84, Scream Mascherano, 87 Icardi, 86 Sane

I have been running an Argentina team and Bundesliga team but its boring the life out of me and this new patch seems to have completely thrown my game.

Anyone recommend a team to build both with my coins and players I have?

Have 100K to spend and want to try out a Serie A team.

Ideally want Nainggolan but he's 40k at the moment and does anyone know if Belotti is as good as he was last year? I found him to be excellent for the cost. Jose Callejon was also very good for me too.

My first team in 19 was a cheap Serie A side. Mandzukic and Belotti as a front two were great, absolutely bullied centre backs. I had 4-2-2-2 with a midfield of Allen and De Rossi then Giovinco and Bonaventura, with Mandzukic and Belotti up top. It was a fun team, and Giovinco was great.

With 100k you could upgrade one of the midfielders to Nainggolan and have change

Does Nainggolan work well as a CDM in a 4-2-3-1 formation?

Have a few loan players for now to fill gaps so have Milinkovic-Savic to go alongside him, Benatia in defence with De Vrij and some other cheaper players to fill the gaps.

Will give Mandzukic a go with Belotti then cheers

442 is a solid alternative I switch between the 2.

I kept playing, because I never actually follow through on the things I say. It seems "Drop Back" is the way to go defensively at the moment, I'm still having trouble doing anything going forward but I've stopped shipping goals for fun. Give it a try maybe.

Thanks I'll give it a whirl over the weekend. Here's to Red Messi's for everyone....
