FIFA 19

17-10. A theme was occurring in all my games that I'd miss an absolute sitter early on and then the opposition would go down the other end and score on the counter. The first goal in WL games is so crucial I think. No way I'm winning 3 in row so sticking to gold2.

Changed my team late on to get back in Pogba in. Still can't decide between 4231 and 41212 (2)!

I have RTTF Douglas Costa to sell, had him ages, shall I hang on until after the Juve game? I'm guessing they will win!

Should have done flashback Ibra

Controversial I know...but I don't see the love? It gets boring seeing players pausing the game to sub him on but other than exploiting the corner system, which quickly moving the keeper seems to be successful in preventing him getting the ball, why is he so favoured? He is slow so easy to keep on top of, strength isn't as useful as it once was and despite crossing being OP, most still play the passing game into the box, his shooting doesn't seem any better than the next meta striker.

Slow? I use engine on him and I've used him to run down the channels and hold defenders off but obviously I play him central and tell him to stay there.

His shooting is also ridiculously good (with no boosts) and he's got acrobatic trait so takes a lot of stunning volleys / overhead kicks as well as the power on his free kicks, etc.

Heading again is unstoppable on most occasions when played to him on crosses.

The only thing he has going against him is balance which is huge this fifa but engine helps boost that. I play him on 10 chem.

He literally does not phase me when I face him, the most annoying this is the pause at the start of the game. He's like the Arnautovic when everyone went through that phase of using him. I'd be much concerned by really fast, agile players like RTTF Sterling.

If I had a top 3 of cards I could remove from the game, that Ibra would be at the top by a country mile. He is the bane of my FIFA existence, he just attracts BS, he probably scores better than 1 per game against me.

I'd also get rid of Butra and Reus, but they're not on the same scale as Ibra.

If you do genuinely manage to shut him down, please share your tips.

Nothing special, I find Varane and Ramos so damn good and strong though, maybe they just handle him? I always move the keeper at corners so he rarely scores them.

Reus is a ball ache.
Griezmann although is massively underrated so not used much. A great card
Sterling in all forms.
Flashback Torres - rarely come cross him though.
CR7

Loads of special cards that get subbed on are annoying but it all boils down to pace in the end. Davies, Sane, Davies, Gervinho etc

Currently 3-0 but really cba with the bs in this game. It keeps forcing me to have closes games all the time.

The saves my opponents gks are making are absolutely unreal yet courtois just let's everything in and for some strange reason my players seem to often just stand and let the ball go by them after a pass :confused:

Courtois is the most overrated keeper in the game, he's not good at all. I have to use him for the links to my CBs.

Does anyone here play ultimate team without spending real money?
The people I watch on Youtube/Twitch must spend so much real money on the game (I realise it's for content so they probably make it all back). Most people can't play like this though surely?

Obviously these people have loads of people for SBCs, do most people have large collections of players for SBCs or do most people sell any spare players they can?

I'm just interested to know how 'normal' people play FUT compared to the Youtube/Twitch players.

I don’t like promoting the guy but someone called Birdie94 or something on YouTube. Look at his team and he hasn’t spent a penny. Pele,dinho,ronaldo,Petit,Eusebio etc. Problem if you’re not going to spend you need to play a lot including all WL. I put £13.99 into the game but have a goodish team from playing loads. I’m an awful trader so losing shed loads.
 
My worst start to the WL which is ironic as I've played my best FIFA. I've lost to 3 absolute duds, I just couldn't finish, the first game I had 27 shots, I never usually have over 10 in a game as I only tend to shoot in the area and when I 'know' the chance of scoring is extremely probable. Similar state in the other two losses too.

Turned it around and got 4 wins but still a killer, annoyingly the last game I was 3-1 down and changed to 4231, the formation I thought I was done with and won 4-3!

I just tried NIF CR7 in place of Zlatan and in honesty, while he's slightly more mobile, he's no more effective really.

Also tempted to do Prime Eusebio, can just about afford it. It makes sense to wait until TOTS but I'm not really bothered.

CR7 has 155 goals in 145 matches for me, all rivals and WL, he's unreal. The first one I had I was flitting between different formations and never got the best out of him.

Having an amazing weekend, 20-3 so far.

1 clear spanking by about 6 goals, 2 close games that could have gone either way. I'm playing my best Fifa in a long long time.

Edit: Make that 23-3, possible shout for Elite 2 if I can keep the form up but I'm taking a break for tonight now.
