I gave up on 5 wins, can't imagine you're as bad as me

Jimbeam3678 · 26 Mar 2017 at 21:54

Finished on Gold2 and more importantly gold for the month. Hamburg next week and a break from Fifa! Going give WL a miss next month I think, its just getting a bit much.

Hit Elite with a game to spare. SBC Suarez, SIF Casemiro and SIF Carrasco are the greatest players in the game. The latter carried me in the last few games but Casemiro, man. No words can describe him. Absolute beast at breaking up play, creating and chipped in with 10 goals. Cannot wait for his TOTS.

I start with Saul because of chem but I kept him in the last few games to keep my defence solid. He's an animal. Perfect in-game stats for CM. Must have played 800+ games with him.

Tried 87 Gomez? He is amazing.

Nope. I was going to sub him on instead of SIF Carrasco but decided against it. He does look good but I'm trying to save coins right now. Plus I can't betray Mertens by buying another midget.

When's TOTS?

Honestly I find him better than Mertens, his agility and dribbling is ridiculous. It's everything Messi should be!

I got 18 wins with 6 to go, shocking.

Jony27 · 27 Mar 2017 at 00:45

Isn't that beautiful, I'm about 250-300k short so might need to get normal varane and isco in the time being. Or just use SIF benteke instead of son like before.
Mane swaps side and is isco swaps to CAM.

Andybtsn · 27 Mar 2017 at 00:56

5atb is anything but beautiful. I used to use it as I'm awful defensively...

nemtizz · 27 Mar 2017 at 01:10

Of course I mean no offence but I have never come up against a decent player who plays 5atb. Just match them and it's an easy win. Gimme some coins, though?

nemtizz · 27 Mar 2017 at 01:12

Nevermind I thought you had 1.5m spare, hah.

Why do you hate Mertens so much. :mad:

Quinnaay · 27 Mar 2017 at 06:27

My final game of the weekend league was against 5atb and I needed the win for gold 1 and was worried, I went 1 up and put it in counter attack/defensive and controlled him til I scored again and he raged quit. If you get the first goal it's all fun and games.

Jony did you try 4231 it offers a lot more defensively without giving up the whole midfield.

Also I have untradable MOTM Casimiro and played 300 games with him he's a tank.

NooBish AbbZ · 27 Mar 2017 at 07:06

So apparently Idrissa Gueye is a slightly worse version of Kante, so i kind of want to give him a go. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to drop Matuidi, Kante or Verratti, so i've been trying to create a team which has these 4 CM/CDM's but i can't do it

I wouldn't say I'm awful defensively, I just feel comfortable with the formation.

None taken, I'm confident enough in my own skills

I haven't know, just don't know what team to build for it, want to try so many players.

JustBen · 27 Mar 2017 at 10:08

got to div 1 yesterday and in turn qualified for the weekend league

Enjoyed playing with the current side and think if we're unrestricted in the next weekend league i should do really well.

I like Mertens, just the 88 one! His price is so high it's more I begrudge paying so much

I really want you to try Gomez!

Switch to 4231 in game doesn't matter on positions now.

Andybtsn · 27 Mar 2017 at 10:49

Can anyone justify paying Pogba's price? He does seem an actual unit in CM when I've played against him but he doesn't seem to score many. He's one of the few players I haven't tried in the PL, tempted mainly as I have coins just sat there.

wanderer89 · 27 Mar 2017 at 11:21

Anyone know when this'll be hitting EA Access?

I want to play it but refuse to pay much when it's out of date within a few months!

Anyone know when this'll be hitting EA Access? Or when past iterations have moved to Access.
