*** The Official FIFA 17 Thread ***

I already have TOTS Thiago and a mostly Spanish setup so they're super easy to fit into my team. Did them both for around 180k which is decent, IMO.
 
That alonso is very tempting.

Made some investments expecting Butland to need an 84 rated team and EA threw a spanner in there lol set to make a small profit after Tax.

Trying to figure out how to fit him in the team.
 
Yeah please do @nemtizz.

Think I'll do both and integrate them into the team somehow, should be easy enough.

The only thing I'd need to buy are the tots players, cheap lower rated ones should be enough.
 
Yes do hurry lol.
I noticed Alonso only has 78 stamina:/. Are they doing this for all End of era cards just to keep them in check?

My little gamble on players worked out!!

Nearly 30k profit. They nearly all sold for max BiN lol. Wish I sunk the rest of my cash into it :(
 
6-1 - Bale - SBS Suarez - Ronaldo. Best trio in the game together.

3atb working a treat at the mo, the game I lost was only because my 2 year old had a paddy. Little ****.
 
"Working from home" today so had time to get a few games in.

W12 L8, not a great start, not an awful one, just bang average for me really. Got a free weekend this weekend as the Mrs is on holiday so no rush to squeeze in the last 20.
 
If you want Lahm then get him now, he's rapid.

Only 6 games in with Alonso and I really like him. Threw a shadow on him and he doesn't feel slow at all. Superb tackling and interceptions, and of course ridiculous passing. I've only shot once from 40 yards and it just went over. Sucks that a player with 90 shooting only has 72 finishing but his shot power, etc is perfect for a holding mid. TOTS Bruno would smash them in from range on '16 and he had low finishing, too.

He is slow to turn at times so it's annoying when he's being closed down but high dribbling and ball control makes up for it. If he starts with 99 fitness his stamina only becomes an issue if you go into ET which is way better than I was expecting.

Crunch time is Alonso worth it and can you see him staying in your team for a long time?
 
Only thing about Thiago that I hate is his 3* weak foot. Every single ******* time I go to hit a banger across go with his right he chooses his left. Even players with 5* weak foots will hit it with the wrong foot for the angle over and over again. It's the most frustrating thing in this game besides the delay. That and those stupid auto slide tackles that your players do to get the ball under control.

Worth it over tots valencia?

And I just got alonso myself, haven't played yet but it's good to hear he can last full 90min even if he needs a fitness card every game. People on reddit went on like his 78 stamina was going to be a deal breaker.

Also starting to stock up on BDAY Sirigu just in case.
