Just played two rivals game. Drew the first and then won the second 5-2.
Two of the goals I conceded and two that I scored myself were from counter attacks after a corner.
I have it set to 1 on corners but it seems everyone not in the box is pissing about at the halfway line so one decent through ball and an attacker is gone.
Also, I made my Prem squad:
I quite like it with Toney and Onyeka being the standouts thus far.
The problem is that Toney is dropping too deep (even on stay forward) and Bailey is basically playing as a CM (even on stay wide), it's annoying me.
Mane and Rashford from marquee matchups. Think I am going to sell them both and hoover up a serious amount of the higher rated cards. 84s will not remain this cheap forever.
They added coop objectives in the early access stuff. Win 4. If any of the PSers want to have a look at those over the weekend I am up for that.
I'll be around for that.
Sounds good. Ill save my PS5 version hours for it.
Mane and Rashford gone. 450k in the bank.

Oblak might be the move, like he was for Yev last year.
If anyone is on Xbox and wants to do the co-op shit this weekend let me know
Managed to win division 1 in pro clubs after a grind over the past few weeks in FIFA 21. This means the motivation is there to get FIFA 22 on day one and run pro clubs again. I played 20 games of UT in FIFA 21 and I dont think I have it in me anymore to compete in that game mode.
Boras has found a bit of an exploit.
Timed (so double press triangle) lofted through balls, seems the defence are struggling to defend them massively.
Do you have to change a setting somewhere to get timed shooting etc. back? I swear I turned it all off last year.
Utter fraud? Not a fan thommo?
Actually, he's probably the best Elite/Top 200 player who streams, I really don't mind him at all.
Just a long running joke from when I posted in his livestream - I said that he wasn't good enough to use TOTS Benzema correctly and he bit hard on my comment. I think it was after Benzema had missed a big chance in a narrow loss so he wasn't best pleased at the time.
That is class.
Varane from one of the advanced SBC. It pains me but I have to sell him.
Hakimi from a preview 7.5k pack.
He went for 113k and I got Sane in the next preview who went for 14.5k.

Havertz is the best player in my team by far.
He feels really nice on the ball, can pick out a decent pass and has a killer left foot.
Just won a rivals game 7-3 with him getting a hattrick and also putting on an assist.
I feel like my team would be a lot better if my RM didn't keep dropping into CM and Toney trying to cover for said RM when defending.
Worked on a few more of the SBC's tonight. Renato, IF Vinicius (both untreadeable - the latter is work 160k, ugh) and Foden (twice today)
"and how many wins do you get per weekend then?"
Boras is great as he's obviously very good at the game, but also manages not to be a dickhead. Pretty much the only guy I'd happily watch play the game, even if his style does sometimes frustrate.
Thommas favourite streamer is Hashtag Harry though and I'm afraid I can't agree with him on that one.
Spanish Ea Sports confirms Camavinga otw objective coming soon.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...camavinga_otw/
Mendy is almost 100k but Benz is only 17k.
He was good. His English Castro evolution turned me off him.
So I still can't figure out why my team (I even changed to a wide diamond) keeps dropping into a 4-3-3 when not in possession and why my strikers (and CAM in the diamond) refusing to listen to my "Stay forward" instruction.
Word on the street is he's still not got an intro.

Does Squad Battles finish on Sunday morning now?
I think it did because of the launch tomorrow. I got my rewards through so just assumed they'd run it earlier
@Mahow.
I will be around if you want to do some of these coop games today. Figuring batter some of the poorer SB squads on like Prof to just get it done.
That should work for me. Will let you know.
Official early access starts tomorrow and we still have a few days to get them done.
My trial seems to have just rolled over into another 10 hours. Packed Hakimi out of one of the Foundation SBCs and he's gone for about 90k.
@mahow
If your game is opened up I am down to run through these.
My pre-order on Xbox failed as my credit card was renewed and I didn't update it, so I'm moving to Playstation.
How it hasnt warned you before now is beyond me but welcome to the dark side.
Yep, utterly bizarre.
Wasn't bothered that much as I regretted buying it on last gen and then getting a PS5, but microsoft support confirmed I wouldn't be charged so here we are. Shame I have to download the bloody thing again mind.
Works for me. Just let me know whats good for you.
These menus are so much faster on PS5.
Er lads.....
Just casually working my way through my 4,600 points.
Halfway down. Ooh, flames, many flames, hang on that's a walkout. What's the flag? Shit. It can't be? It looks a bit like him.. It is him.

Nice Tradeable? If so, keep or sell?
EDIT: my points still haven't shown up

I was gonna keep him, but I'm only in my second game at the moment and I'm now not sure.
This feels a completely different game on the PS5 vs. the Xbox One and not for the better.
Getting into it now.
Anthony Martial from the Jumbo Gold 26 Pack Level 7 reward. Straight into the team to partner Mbappe, but he has Low/Low work rates this year.
Very nice on Mbappe!
What kind of game are you running this year? I think that decides what you do with him.
I have sold everything big I have packed so far and reinvested cause I will just buy back later should I want to.
I really need to choose something to invest in but every year I make the wrong decision (fuck you OTW Telles) so I need the good people of TTH to help me.
At best I'll actually make some decent coin this year, at worst I can just blame you dickheads.
My 'normal' is picking a specific player or two 84/85 rated, mass bidding on them (on the web app most of the time so I can copy and paste) 10% below their lowest BIN and flipping them. Sometimes I run the profit a bit finer than that if its going slow.
I usually pick a player from the big 4/5 leagues, who has a decent nationality but isnt really meta. Last year I flipped Jose Callejon for months. The year before was Allan, even though he was meta he was in Serie A at that point so he wasnt as hyped as he is in the prem. You also get the potential for a nice spike when an SBC comes out.
Ginter, Pique and Aspas look like good options this year.
This helps too https://www.futbin.com/stc/cheapest
If you have some coins then Oblak, Suarez, Aguero and Kroos/Modric look crazy cheap at the moment.
I'm currently rocking this until I pack Ronaldo and Neymar later this evening
Also those Bronze and Silver milestones can be completed on any level. I am letting the game sit there in friendlies on beginner to knock them out while I work.
As for game Danny, think I'm just gonna do an anything goes, but no FIFA points (bar the 4,600 that came with the Ultimate Edition). I'll probably gravitate towards first owner though mind.
