I'm almost certain the only goals I conceded in my last 5 were counter attacks. I think I'm holding possession to long and struggling to break people down at the edge of the box the AI is far too strong then they snatch and run, virtually unstoppable.

The team press is mental for when you're holding out for a game. Literally impossible to find a pass.

Wohoo, got 14-7, played nearly all of them today so pretty exhausted. Will summarise stats for the team hopefully tomorrow.
I did kind of cheat a little subbing on martial/dembele who won me a few of the games after coming on

Yeah I use it a lot and as you say it's disgusting and needs a nerf.

Have a tactic set so have your attack as wide as possible with a wide formation, not perfect but it helps.

Played some good Fifa over the weekend. Gold1 is achievable before Christmas for me again if everything falls into place.

3 weekend leagues.

20 wins
19 wins
18 wins.

Just can’t seem to push on to the next level in terms of my play. The no touch dribbling, movement, shielding of the next players up just kills me.

bought Neymar, will stay in my team all year, now to save for mbappe.

Got the stats together and applied some graphic design - book your lessons while it lasts

14-7 record

Just viewed on desktop and imgur JPEG the **** out of it...

Jesus just watched twosync, they are horrific. At times I felt embarrassed for them. Do they normally get 3k viewers :eek:

quite a lot of the time, yes.

EDIT: They are funny when they lose. Sadly they win quite a lot and that's when I find them most annoying.

I feel like I don't play FIFA correctly at all! Pretty much only did FUT Div Rivals. How do you guys even get enough points to qualify for every weekend league? I think I played it twice in FIFA 19, and am 1762/2000 atm despite getting more points from DR wins in 20.

Quite time consuming get the initial 2k points but then if you get a g3 (?) finish every week you get the 2000 points to auto qualify for the following week.

Some achievement with that team, I’d be licking my lips if that popped up on the loading screen before hand!

SuperMan · 3 Nov 2020 at 09:25

In the higher leagues of DR you get more WL qualifying points, making it easier.

Also, wins in WL means you get lots of points. 11 wins is 2000 points.

Anyone have any tutorial videos with regards to play style? Boras legend again?

Cheers Andy. I think the key takeaway from that WL was while it is possible to play with a non meta team, why would you hinder yourself?

You can see how much impact having meta players have.
Ive noticed in D2 more players using 442(2) which i found quite hard to break down. Tried it myself but not for me, going back to 4222 this WL.

I was switching between 433 (4) and 4222, definitely the formations that work for me. 4231 was terrible, although I'm finding more and more people playing it again.

Free objective packs have been good to me the last few days.
Tradable martial at the weekend and there now untradable kdb. Should free up funds from either de jong/wijnaldum.

Ah I see, yeah I basically seem to be top 6th/lower 5th division in this FIFA.

EA listened to me and have toned down the card happy refs thank god.

Wish they would start giving pens and reds for sliding behind and sliding rash in the box it's infuriating

Yes I don't think I've ever seen a straight red

chroniclard · 3 Nov 2020 at 15:50

I have had loads of straight reds.

Pretty much every one has been me hacking someone down through on goal though.
