FIFA 21

Currently 6-0 and the Sanches card as been very, very good for me so far. I decided to chuck my coins into a striker and went with PIM Dalglish who seems to be better than the prime Eto'o I tried a week ago.
 
I got 16 wins.

Lost a goal in the 85th minute and then stoppage time so lose :(

It felt like momentum was against me and it was inevitable he would score even though he wasn't doing much the whole game.
 
The Renato card is a massive difference on his gold. Of course you’ll still have those games where even a PIM Pele will feel like he’s stuck in mud.
 
I lasted a month before crawling back to WL. I changed my team up a bit and that made me want to play it more. I brought 88 Torres in at CAM who has been a god send. 17 goals in 20 games. Got Rooney back in as well as 91 Nedved for CM. 14 wins was pretty painless with 6 losses. Good old gold backline of Mendy, Varane, Gomez and Walker. Oh and Pope obvs. I love seeing all these colourful squads I play but I'm still a great believer in golds can do just as good a job. Mbappe and Neymar will never leave my team :p

Sort of related to this, but not aimed at you, it just made me think of it...

When people play to 14 wins and stop, can they claim to be Gold 2/Gold 1/Elite whatever players?
I mean, obviously if they're getting 14-1 or something like that then claiming Gold 2 seems quite reasonable. Gold 1 doesn't seem too far fetched either, but I think if you're gonna claim to be an Elite 3/2/1 player you need to be finishing Elite 3/2/1 on occasion.

It's like if you get Gold 1 in October and then just finish on 14 wins, even if it's like 14-5, I think you need to hit Gold 1 maybe once a month if you're gonna keep claiming to be Gold 1. The game can change quite a lot with the patch and promos. Maybe you had a strong team in the first few months which helped you, but since then all the promos have helped a lot more people raise the quality of their teams.
Claiming Gold 2 when you stop on 14-5 seems acceptable.

What made me think about it is that Matt from TwoSync (yes, them again) almost always stops at 11 wins or 14 wins because he just can bear to play the game any more. Yet he claims to be a Gold 2 player. This week he stopped on 11-8.
I think Chris has hit Gold 1 more often than Matt has hit Gold 2, but Chris still claims to be a Gold 2 player that can hit Gold 1 with a bit of luck.

I don't play Fifa 21, but in Fifa 20 I probably had a fairly even split between Gold 2 and Gold 3 finishes, so if pushed I'd probably say I was Gold 3, but with a bit more leeway I'd say I was a borderline gold 2 player.

What do you guys think, what rank can you claim, what result do you need to average to claim that?
 
I think I'm consistent enough with hitting gold 3 but the last 3 weeks I've had gold 2 and then 2 painful losses at 16 wins. I usually feel the pressure is off at 11 wins though since you get the 2000 champs points and a player pick that's not capped.

The first 5 games are such pot luck in what you face. I'd rather they ranked you based on previous performance.

Every year every week I hit gold 1 and occasionally elite 3. Now I cba and the past month played to gold 3 Silver 1 without even trying or stressing. I'm a gold 1 player predominantly and usually achieve it without too much stress but it's just so unrewarding and to be honest I've hardly played FIFA the past couple of months I'm not enjoying the way this is turning out.

A lot of streamers will say this to big themselves up to their fans and to boost their ego. I've never made elite and will never claim to be an elite players but I know I do have games where I play well and have beaten elite players but I 100% know I'm not on the level of a consistent elite player. I've made g1 a few times but it's very rare that I even try to.

I also don't really take people saying what level of player they think they are too seriously as I have a friend who has only played the WL 3 times this year and he's made g1 every time yet he's a div 6 player and I smash him at least 6-0 every single time we play against each other. I think there is more to the elo/matchmaking than what most people think.
 
Div 6 and higher than I've ever got. I've never got close to G1. I'm div4 (almost 3!) and I'm very much against exploits though so no meta through balls, kick off glitches etc. I'd likely win a few more games if I played 5atb and tried through balls from the back
 
Bastian Schwein (however you spell it) 92 icon moment from swaps. Not a big L, will use him instead of doing Vidal or Sanchez.

Haven't played WL in a month but will try out a few new players this weekend. Got 5.5mil and not a clue what to do with it.
 
Yeah that's the team, I didn't look at his starting squad, just messaged him to say that's the saddest thing I've seen in 25 years of gaming.. Oops
