100k for potm Martinez seems steep.
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-09-2019, 07:41 PM
Just won a qualifying Rivals game 7-1 although I turned off slightly after 5-0.
Pukki, Hazard (who I brought on for Abraham at the start) and Sancho (on for Ndombele) absolutely dicked him.
I'm pretty shit with the new L2+R2 Defending thing but it's still really effective.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing him when he was announced for a super-sub but the requirements are seriously shit.

So I lost all of my Division Rivals placement matches on purpose (I'm going to manage the fuck out of DR this year), but it's given me a skill rating of 235 and put me in Division 9. Nine. :D
Sir Andy Mahowry
24-09-2019, 11:44 PM
9 must be filled with spastics and 6 year olds.
I believe I won my first game in seven 5-0.
Yevrah
24-09-2019, 11:57 PM
Sticking to First Owner now (rather than pack only) as it seems to strike the right balance. With that in mind and also needing a better striker I've just done Pukki.
Annoyingly I got rid of a bronze Norwich RM player into MM's this morning which would have worked great as someone to sub out.
Yevrah

Sir Andy Mahowry
25-09-2019, 03:58 PM
I don't understand why Nep is championing that Martinez SBC.
Yes the card looks great but 100K+ for a player that can't be utilised in the first 11 so soon into the game cycle is shit.
Maybe if he's around the same price near the end of the SBC (I think it will rise to 150ish though) it would be alright.
Yevrah
25-09-2019, 04:55 PM
No worries Igor. 🙂
And you’re right Mahow, he’s shit value.
Trancemeister
25-09-2019, 05:02 PM
Any great value Bundesliga players?
Edit/ Scrap that. Think I have to go Serie A after my pack pulls.
Handanovic, Godin, Milinkovic-Savic, Rebic. Yup definately Serie A this year.
Yevrah
25-09-2019, 06:56 PM
Division Rivals tonight for as long as it takes me to get to rank 3 to get a decent number of untradeable packs. Given I'm in Div 9, hopefully that won't be long.

Any league preference?
Nope, any league/nation/hybrid whatever works.
Only real preferences are :
Love pacey strikers with good finishing. Used Ben Yedder for the entirety of fifa 19 with great success.
Like playing 4-3-3. Tackling, strength, stamina and short passing for two cms, and long shots, finishing and passing for the AMC.
Inside forwards who are quick and good finishers and passers on the wing. Essentially see them as secondary strikers.
Super skillful dribblers utterly wasted on me as I'm too shit. Skill move star rating probably the least important attribute for me.
Sir Andy Mahowry
25-09-2019, 09:11 PM
Got Pique in a pack.
Plus my EA Access pack yielded bullshit from the TOTW but Sokratis in the picks.
bruhnaldo
25-09-2019, 09:20 PM
Once I get off work tonight I finally get a shot to really dive deep into FIFA beyond just playing career to manage my 10 hours. :drool:
I gave up not buying packs when I came home off my ass the other night and ended up picking up a few decent cards but nothing too exciting.
TOTW Aurier
Muller
Diego Costa
Thomas Lemar
Mesut Ozil
Torreira
Ruben Neves
off the top of my head
Probably end up selling Muller and running an EPL squad at least for now.
I really want to stay away from buying fifa packs so I'm hoping I can fight the urge and just plug away at squad battles etc. to build my team.
So again, if anyone has any strategies they're employing please feel free to share everything to the most minute detail lololol.
Sir Andy Mahowry
25-09-2019, 09:26 PM
Keep Aurier for a month or so and he'll be expensive.
Week 1 and 2 TOTW cards always shoot up in value because they become extinct.
Yevrah
26-09-2019, 12:09 AM
Did the Around the World challenge from Hybrid Nations with a Rare Gold Players Pack as the reward and packed Busquets.
He's probably unusable, but I'll take an 89.
Danny
26-09-2019, 01:28 AM
Packed untradeable Inaki Williams. Would have been a decent little coin boost.
Yevrah
26-09-2019, 06:08 AM
Division 9 is a joy. Only had to play two games to secure rank 3 and two Mega Packs with it.
Doing objectives there might actually be fun.
thommo
26-09-2019, 08:42 AM
I've played about 8 hours of my trial so far, and I'm still stuck debating whether to get the game or not. I'll play the last 2 hours tonight, and probably finish off my Rivals placement games, and I'll have to make a decision then.
I've built a couple of basic starter squads, one Dutch, and one Liga NOS/Serie A. If I was to carry on, I really don't have a clue what sort of team I'd aim for.
Danny
26-09-2019, 11:35 AM
Packed Cancelo this morning. Think the weekly preorder packs came in.
He would likely slot into my team over IF Aurier but not going to turn the coins down right now.
igor_balis
26-09-2019, 04:25 PM
Went with a ligue 1 starting team. Couldnt resist ben yedder. Cost me about 125k -

Kimpembe
Atal
Thiago Mendes
Gueye
Onyekuru
Draxler
Thauvin
Ben yedder
Danny
26-09-2019, 05:38 PM
Robertson, K Navas and IF Lecompte.
120k worth of premier league fullbacks today. Already packed Shaw, Digne and Tierney this year. Fair few coins in Prem fullbacks
thommo
27-09-2019, 10:57 AM
I played a couple of the friendly house rules games in the last hours of my trial last night. Really enjoyed Mystery Ball, but found the King of the Hill mode a bit irritating.
Picked up Nathan Ake for my Dutch team and he seems to be a very effective CB.
I went 2-1-2 in the rivals placement games, which landed me in Div 6 with a score of about 950.
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 11:59 AM
The team now, all first owner:
https://i.postimg.cc/zXn5hpKC/Team-092719.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
https://i.postimg.cc/FH3vjpSb/Subs-092719.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
Huge improvement on where I was 7 days ago, but a few obvious things to sort. Don't have a single decent RM or RW and still annoyed I put a bronze Norwich right winger into MM's as that would have kept Pukki on 10 chem while giving me more options in the middle. Rookie mistake. As it is I generally sub on Draxler for Lallana immediately. He's a bit slow, but can dribble well and has 5 star weak foot, which is schweet.
Bar putting a Sniper on Pukki I've done nothing with consumables as you can see, so that might be a job for this weekend. Have 20k coins in the bank and (I know I said this last week) but should get Elite 1 in SB this week, which is nice.
The OTW player could be huge and shape things in a different direction depending on who I pack. I have loads of options beyond what you see there, with over 550 players in the club, 196 of them gold ones.
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 12:12 PM
Categorising the OTW's available:
Feeling if I packed them:
Fapping myself silly: Hazard, Griezzmann
Very happy with that: Ben Yeddder,
He'll do: Coutinho, De Jong, Jovic, Pepe, Lozano, Joao Felix,
Meh: Icardi, Lukaku, Rodri, Hernandez, Brandt, De Ligt, Wan-Bissaka, Pulisic.
Jesus fucking christ: Haller, Pedro Sarabia, Maguire, Barella, Joelinton, Other Hazard.
The odds are not good.
thommo
27-09-2019, 12:31 PM
It took 13 hours, but I buckled and bought the full game at lunch. :moop:
Danny
27-09-2019, 12:36 PM
I really like Rodri as my CDM. He feels pretty mobile on the ball for his size, strong and can pass. I wouldn’t mind him in mine.
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 02:09 PM
He just doesn't strike me as the sort of player who is going to get (m)any IFs.
That said, I'm already looking at the categorizations and think I need to tweak it a bit.
Trancemeister
27-09-2019, 03:30 PM
Packed Lozano last night. He's fricking 20k+. I mean I have to sell, he'll never be this expensive again. And as a 82 I'll probably pack him over and over.
Danny
27-09-2019, 03:40 PM
Yevrah, fair enough! I was more thinking how useful he is.
Agree with selling there Trance, I sold Robertson and Cancelo for the same reason. I am expecting a dip in a couple of hours when people hammer OTW packs.
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 03:40 PM
He might go up next week when his OTW is in packs.
Danny
27-09-2019, 03:57 PM
They usually do but the overinflated prices now make it a tough call.
I need a good SBC to come out. I have about 100 84s ready to make me rich!
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 04:07 PM
How in the fuck have you generated so much already? Dip in with a few packs to get things going?
Danny
27-09-2019, 04:14 PM
I had about 25 in PSN credit so I bought some packs but I have been lucky since then. Robertson and Cancelo yesterday netted me over 100k, before that Ndombele 20k. That’s half of my investment already.
The rest has just been hammering out 84 trading since they are dirt cheap + game coins/coin rewards.
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 04:15 PM
Fair enough. You should be well set now then.
Danny
27-09-2019, 04:17 PM
If you have spare coins I would recommend 84s. They just can’t go lower.
Yevrah
27-09-2019, 04:20 PM
I've bought a few, but I'm trying to moderate how much I play this year and a reduction in trading seemed a good way to do that as (BPM aside) it's the gateway to everything.
Trancemeister

I fucking hate fifa. I just have no idea how to defend. How come whatever mope I play against in div 6 makes like 3 passes from kickoff and they have like 4 attacking players against my back 4, whereas they always seem to have about 50 players behind the ball? I've been crap since they changed defending but now I think I'm just done. I try to do the thing of controlling the midfielders and running back with them but that doesnt do shit either. Grumble grumble.
Yevrah

L2+R2 defending is the way to go this year and just trying to run into the man/make an interception.
Tackling is too broken and punishing if you get wrong.
Yevrah
28-09-2019, 11:08 AM
It's broken even if you get it right.
Started on the Ndombele objectives, which are actually pleasant in Division 9. Just need to work out how I can gerrymander it so I stay there.
Sir Andy Mahowry
28-09-2019, 11:20 AM
Tackling or defending in general? Although you're probably right with both.
It punishes you for actually attempting to win the ball, you're largely forced into trying to make your opponent make a mistake.
Yevrah
28-09-2019, 11:32 AM
Tackling. You can time it seemingly perfectly and the ball will just bounce straight back to your opponent. If that were a rare occurrence then fine, but it happens all too often.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoHfuhpMEMQ
Also Lewandowski is really good. Played two World Class SBs with him and he's scored two in each. The first he came on after 55 minutes and in the second he started on 4 chemistry.
Gray Fox
28-09-2019, 03:38 PM
I hear career mode is a horrific shitshow at the minute.
Hearing good things about gameplay so far. Though after the state '19 got into that may not be hard.
Sir Andy Mahowry
28-09-2019, 04:10 PM
It's a lot more enjoyable to play although crossing/headers are completely dead which is a bit annoying as there are objectives for them (for OTW Ndombele you need to score from crosses in 3 Squad battles games and Silver weekly is one cross/header).
The only bad bits in the gameplay right now is that you're punished for going for tackles because if you miss your defence is fucked, if you succeed the ball could go anywhere. Also too many rebound goals right now.
Yevrah
28-09-2019, 08:03 PM
For the Ndombele objective just whack it on semi-pro and use the ground cross (RB + cross) and it's a piece of piss.
I agree the silver weekly objective is a pain in the arse though. Wait until you get to gold. :D
Yevrah
28-09-2019, 08:11 PM

I think I've scored 1 corner across all my games thus far but how in the fuck am I going to score a header in two separate Rivals games but said header can only be scored with Lewandowski or Laporte in my team.
Not a chance I'll finish them all but there is some nice XP for not a lot with a couple.
Sir Andy Mahowry
28-09-2019, 10:17 PM
I just packed OTW Hazard \0/.
Only Thorgan sadly.
Sir Andy Mahowry
28-09-2019, 10:26 PM
3 assists in 5 games (4 of which were starts) so he's clearly got potential for an IF or two as well.
Yevrah
28-09-2019, 10:44 PM
4/8 done for Dembele and halfway through most of the others, which is nice.
Bronze pack method paying out well too at the moment.
Sir Andy Mahowry
28-09-2019, 10:54 PM
I've done nothing so far on the Rivals side. Will probably hammer them out on Monday perhaps, or at least put a dent in them.
I really need to look through my club because I think I've got some serious coins in there. Earlier, I opened a pack from one of the Hybrid Leagues SBCs, checked the price of a duplicate and he's going for about 5k.

Sir Andy Mahowry
29-09-2019, 01:08 PM
I'd sell him as he will go down in price.
Being a non-walkout he will get packed quite a bit and you can get Rodri for (30-35, will be less when his base card is in packs again) who isn't that much worse or even Fernandinho who is a better than both:
https://www.futbin.com/20/compare/470/918/304
Yevrah
29-09-2019, 01:18 PM
I can't get Rodri though as I'm not allowed to buy him to use him.
I've never really liked Fabinho, so selling is the plan, but is there any chance he'll go up for weekend league?
Sir Andy Mahowry
29-09-2019, 01:20 PM
I forgot about the first owner :moop:
There's a chance, it depends how long it is until the WL but he could due to the strong link with VVD and the Liverpool fullbacks.
Yevrah
29-09-2019, 01:21 PM
Think it's this weekend.
Never mind, listed him for 79k and he's gone.
Up to 117k of coins. :drool:
Yevrah

Have put myself together a pretty swish team now but with enough average mooks left that there's still something to build towards. Got 120k left to do SBCs/trade. The Silvas from City are both fairly cheap, considering their ratings. Also picked up Kane and then Rodri, Macguire and A W-B's OTW cards.
I feel like generally this year they've rated players lower so that they can release more IFs and other random shit.

Seems odd to me you can get Vertonghen and Alderweireld, both 87, for the same cost as Laporte, also 87. It has to be nation and the strong links to City players.

Laporte is relatively quick. If you look at the top selling players, it's basically all the ones with 70+ pace.
Danny

Laporte has 64 pace, Jan 63 and Toby 64. One of the reasons it makes little sense!

I'm still yet to pack an 83 in this game. Will be making an effort in Rivals this week to push for Weekend League points. It would be good to get a couple of early good red picks.

65k for Walker is sooo tempting, but on the flip side he’s a Prem full back that will be at least competent for the entire game cycle and other than SBC’s, of which there are no desirable ones at the moment, I don’t really need the coins.

He is probably ridiculous on this game. He always is due to his physical attibutes but this game seems to love everything EA will have rated him good at.

I wouldn't mind and to be fair I probably don't, but it would be useful if there was an indication from EA as to how many of these shitty objectives you have to do to get rank 30 by the time 'season 1' is up.
It should be about 150% of the level 30 target XP for that period available, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was 105%, or they just flat out balls it up and don't offer enough for anyone to get there.
EDIT: I've just hit level 13, so only 78,000 XP to go. I know how Sincere felt on Gran Turismo now.

I don't think they're meant to have upgrades this year from what I've seen on Twitter. Still a cock up that they've been released already though.

If you have spare coins I would recommend 84s. They just can’t go lower.
what does this mean? just buy 84 rated players for SBCs?
Gray Fox
30-09-2019, 11:34 PM
Yes. In previous games desirable SBCs that aren't rip offs require 84's to complete.
Due to the demand, people buy them all up when one drops and the price shoots up. For example Illaramendi last year was perfect. 84 rated, great nationality, league and position. You could buy him for 2-3k and then when the SBC dropped most times you'd double your money or close to it.
Yevrah
30-09-2019, 11:37 PM
If you have more coins to invest and can hang on for a bit Busquets is great value. 89 rated and under 20k ish. Cheaper than most 88's.
I'm going to hold fire for a bit, but if you time it right you'll triple your investment.

Might self sacrifice down a level or two in Rivals just to try and help with the Ndombele objectives.
Only have 1/10 for the midfield maestro and 0/3 for the Ligue 1 scorers (I did have Atal score 1 in my last match off the bench but he couldn't get a second).
Yevrah
01-10-2019, 12:10 AM
I did it all in Division 9 (probably the equivalent of someone good at the game being in Division 6) and it was a joy.
The system is fucking stupid and with all the XP/Icon Swaps on offer it's only going to get worse as the game goes on.
EDIT: To give you an idea, I used Loric Remy for the Ligue 1 scorers one. No chance am I doing that in Div 4/5. For the assists one I didn't need to win so I chucked games to keep me in Division 9 too.
I'll be managing things so I stay there for as long as I can.
Danny
01-10-2019, 12:14 AM
I went for a front 6 of:
Bamba Cavani Di Maria
Ndombele Torreira Lo Celso
Took me probably 5 games to get used to them and get it completed.
Bruh, that looks like a fun team, maybe need to ditch Maguire and Blind though. They seems too slow. Van Der Beek might be a more mobile option
Yevrah
01-10-2019, 12:16 AM
I suppose I should add that not being able to buy players would see me even more fucked and frustrated in the higher divisions than last year.
Vardy is pretty intensely overpowered at the moment.
In fourteen games for me he has twenty six goals and ten assists, with all of those games having been played in rivals. He's basically unstoppable when he gets running and something in his stats, I suspect his high defensive work rate in concert with his good for a striker defensive stats make him win the ball off defenders far more often than is decent.

It's amazing how shit people are.
Changed my team name to 'FREE WINS' and started tanking to get to division 9.
Just had a guy who instantly paused letting all time go then he refused to shoot when I moved my keeper away and then after I score an own goal he does the shush celebration whilst running to the corner flag.
I was so close to just deciding to fuck him over which wouldn't be hard as I think I won every division 7 game I had last week by at least 4.
Yevrah
01-10-2019, 10:04 PM
You probably won’t need to drop as far as 9 Mahow, I’m only there because I threw all my placement games, but when I see an up to date list of what the rewards per division are I’ll make a move to it if it’s better than 9.

In your passing options... are you guys using assisted, semi-assisted, off....
I used to play with my through balls being completely off back in the day and I feel like I was fucking lethal but then when I got back into playing xbox (Fifa 16 or 17) for some reason I just left all of them on assisted.
I'm beginning to think if I could just take the time to adjust my brain to the manual settings I'd fare much better.

There's one I made early. A bunch of discard specials. The OTW are going to take a while. IFs should climb soon.
Outside that check out the cheapest 84, 85s and 86s on futbin. https://www.futbin.com/stc/cheapest There is just no way some of those 84s stay that low. They would get close to 10k quite often last year when the right SBCs dropped.
Take Illarramendi last year. Look at the spikes on his chart. We are in the early 2k stages now (less for some)
https://www.futbin.com/19/player/1045/Asier+Illarramendi
Or Verratti. You can pick up 86 like him (Bonucci, Parejo or Verratti himself) for under 10k. This time last year he was 7k, by the end of October he was 30k.

3/4 on All in, 2/3 on Origin Story and still 1/10 for Midfield Maestro.
Right now I'm just forcing the ball to IF Atal who comes on instantly but for a few games I had him on basic chemistry and his finishing was atrocious. For my last game I put a deadeye on him and he was lethal.
When I finish with the Ligue 1 one (hopefully in my first match tomorrow) I'll then just have to keep spamming through balls with my midfielders.

First game I played in the division was against someone who had also self-relegated because they were division 6+ quality and I struggled to a 2-2 draw.

Last night I chucked like 50 of my 75 rated golds onto the transfer market.
I generally kept the lowest potential price at 300 but then would bump up the buy now to 450-500 or something like that.
I was surprised to find almost nearly all of them sold at the buy now price :\
This also makes me feel relatively silly because I notoriously quick sale'd most of my lower rated cards I didn't think would get me anything other than the quick sale amount anyways.

I'm starting to think it wise to just hoard every card rated above 82 or 83 and try to sell everything else for a (relative) premium.

If you've got some coins, I'd look at buying Allan.
https://www.futbin.com/20/player/731/Allan+Marques+Loureiro
He's gone up by 20k since a few Youtubers mentioned him but he looks stunning.
An anchor on him and he's an amazing CDM.
Hes my next buy, just gotta work the coins back up selling the shit and playing squad battles.

Delle Alli in my Rivals rewards. Another player I’d never normally use but he’ll go into the team somehow.

I only played 1 game of Rivals last night, but managed to win 2-1 with 10 men, so I've earned some small rewards from that, a 7.5k & 15k pack.
Decided to just open them on the phone in work, and got Casillas (an 83) in the first pack, and then Verratti, my first walkout, in the second. I can't argue with that, and that'll be useful for either an SBC or selling once the prices rise in the future.

My play is pretty shit right now because I'm not overly concerned about winning, it's all about getting the ball to a midfielder and getting an assist with them.
Defensively I'm playing so offensively and risky and in attack I've passed up on easy goals as they wouldn't have been assisted by one of the right players.
Still won all bar 3 or 4 thus far I think and I'm into division 8. I'll probably keep myself in division 6 eventually though.

Dele Alli in for Amadou at CAM with Busquets and Ndombele in behind in a 3-5-2. Got them all on 10 chem, with Marksman, Backbone and Guardian the chem styles respectively.
Haven't tried the new team yet, but pretty keen to. Loving this first owner malarkey.
Sir Andy Mahowry

Ndombele finally done.
Did the last two in consecutive matches and the last one I managed to get an assist in about 4 games minutes. Won 7-2 with him disconnecting in injury time.

Bought two more Lozano OTWs for 46.5k each.
The matches between Torino and Napoli usually results in lots of goals (Napoli have won the last 4 away 3-1, 3-1, 5-0 and 2-1), Torino have conceded in their 3 home league matches (plus 3 to Wolves in Europe) and Napoli have scored 10 in their 3 away league matches this season.
If Lozano starts then he's got a great chance of grabbing an IF.

H/H, can't shoot, he's gone.
Up to 266,000 coins now.
Should probably think about investing seriously now, or do Martinez. The latter would be more fun. I guess as well I now have an amount of coins (and a load of shit in the club) that I'll be able to do the next properly good SBC that comes along.

Oh and while I'm on the objectives, they're crap, aren't they?
They've dedicated an entire section to it but the things you have to do are either unimaginative or borderline impossible. Once you do them you earn XP but you've no way of knowing how much more there is to come so can't select what you'd like to do and there'll be people who miss out on getting the level 30 reward by a few hundred XP from nearly 100,000 as a result.
The player rewards for level 30 are also crap by the time we'll be able to get them. I highly doubt an 85 Zaha would be a guaranteed starter for me in 30+ days time and I'm running a first owner game. If I was allowed to buy players with coins to use in my team there'd be absolutely no chance he would.

Absolute shambles.
Still when it's back up I'll be all over that if it's not a ludicrous price. He's clearly been nerfed from previous versions, but he's in a league full of goat herders and an IF or two will see him being the bollocks again.

fuck. you know what, that's incredibly tempting.
in previous fifas i've tried to do the sensible slow accumulation thing, but it generally just gave me a headache and i'd get annoyed with myself when i did shit like buy kroos for 70k, hate him, then end up selling him for 50k. and the two fifas i enjoyed FUT most on were the ones i did the DUTCH league and the TURKISH league, as imposing massive restrictions on myself made me appreciate scraping out wins in div 6 and 7 far more than in higher divs with better teams. my awful lack of ambition clearly applies to video game as well.
also, I've always loved the idea of having an icon/legend, but i've never been able to afford one except the shit 85 rated 5'9'' centre backs in the arse-end of the game cycle.
how well do icons hold their value, in case i massively regret it/hate the one i go with?
Yevrah
04-10-2019, 10:53 PM
Previously they've held their value quite well, but this year is different as there won't be any icon SBC's any more, so I'd expect them to behave like regular players more, perhaps even more regular as they won't be required for SBC's at all as regular players always are.
Only baby and middle icons are in packs at the moment as well don't forget.
You'll lose money on whoever you buy, but first owner really is awesome and you'll probably be using that player for the rest of the game cylcle.
How many coins could you scrabble together if you sold everything (bar a few players to cobble together around whoever you buy) and what platform are you on? I could have a look and suggest a few players.
Yevrah
04-10-2019, 11:00 PM
Messi is 914k and Mbappe 823k on Xbox.
The icons at that price point don't look that appealing.

What is this first owner stuff? Are players worse with multiple owners or something?
Got 120k for Modric so bought Koulibaly and Allan
Yevrah
04-10-2019, 11:18 PM
It's a somewhat stupid set of self-imposed rules that might make the game more fun for you if you're that way inclined.
First Owner = you're only allowed to use players in your team that are first owner. e.g. you've packed them or crafted them from an SBC, but not bought them from the transfer market. You can buy players from the transfer market to complete SBC's, just not play them.
Pack Only = As above, but you can't use the transfer market at all to buy anything.
Why would you do these things you might ask? The more you play the game the more you realise that there are a small pool of players that are 'meta', which if you can buy who you want (coins permitting, but they're a piece of piss to generate) you'll always gravitate towards. This pool of players doesn't change a huge amount from version to version and it gets boring using the same players every year. With the above self imposed rules you get much more variety and for me a greater affinity to the players you do use as you're not endlessly chopping and changing.
If I wasn't doing first owner I'd have a much better team than I do now, but I'd be bored as there'd be little to grind for and ultimately the football playing side of the game itself isn't often good enough to keep you playing on its own.

They both look like monsters.
I've been trying to get them into the squad somehow but I just can't work it right now unless I go with a Calcio striker and none of them appeal to me other than Ronaldo.
Yevrah
04-10-2019, 11:29 PM
As an example, and looking at my first current first 11.
Which of these would be in my team if I could buy who I wanted:
GK: Lecomte - Nope, much better options available for minimal coins.
RB: Walker - Again, no. He's good, but I don't like full backs with high defensive work rate and if I sold him I could buy Barcelona's Dembele who is an absolute monster and have change left.
LB: Firpo - Rofl, not a chance.
CB: IF/TOTW (In form/Team of the week) Koscielny - No, he's slow as shit.
CM: Busquets: No chance, far too slow.
CM: OTW (One to Watch) Ndombele. He can't shoot at all or really defend no matter what chemistry style you put on him so no.
CM: Dele Alli - 3 star weak foot, which is just a bit shit for an attacking player. 4 star makes a massive difference and 5 star is gold (see Barca Dembele).
RW: Antonio - He's only starting for chemistry reasons, so no.
LW: Fraser - He's good, but there are better, so no.
ST: Potm (player of the month) Pukki - Maybe. He is really good, but again he only has a 3 star weak foot so will be pretty useless in a relatively short space of time when the teams you face get better.
So my team is a bit shit and far inferior to what I could buy with coins, but I love them all, well apart from Antonio who is technically useless, but he gets subbed out for Martinez who is totes amazeballs, but again wouldn't be if I could buy who I want.
Hope those paragraphs of seeming insanity make sense.

Finished Salah's Story and completed Week 2 Bronze and most of Week 2 Silver (just have to score in 2 separate games) which doesn't leave me with too much left really.
I have the Rival Header from Oktoberfest which I can't be fucked to do, the Max Chem and King of the Hill friendlies (which can be done in a game in each), Week 2 Gold and then the score in X SB/Rivals matches.
3683 XP from level 19.
They really need to add more soon.
Yevrah
04-10-2019, 11:39 PM
Yeah, it's something I've sort of gravitated towards since I got back into FIFA about 3 years ago and once I'm bored of that I'll probably dip back out again.
Yevrah
04-10-2019, 11:54 PM
Mahow, I'm on.
Level 17, 1,478 XP from level 18, with the following left to do:
Oktoberfest - Rival Header & lucky No.7. I can't be arsed with either and I'm only losing 200XP by not doing them.
Week 1 Gold - Tower of Power and Score a Corner. These two can get fucked in the ear. No chance am I even trying.
Week 2 Silver - Score 5 times, 1 left to do.
Week 2 Gold - Whatever's in there when I unlock it.
Play Online - Score in 20, 40 & 60.
Other than not finishing the early access stuff I think I've done everything else available. It'd be a bit shit if that isn't a good enough run rate to get to level 30, but who knows.
Sir Andy Mahowry
04-10-2019, 11:56 PM
I'm almost certain they'll end up not giving out enough for 30 or leaving it so tight that we'd have had to do everything.
Before the Score a Corner in Rivals objective I had not scored one in any game mode. I've now scored 4 in Rivals and come really close another few times, I seem to have found my groove with them.
