The best way to go for bang for buck was always Serie A.
Though now Ronaldo is there, that could all well change now.

Apparently so...
Would be nice to get a half hour or so in.
Yep.Quote:

Press R2+L2 to cancel a run didnt work in FIFA 18 for me.
Yeah, I had problems with it too. Worked a lot better in 17.Quote:

Ben Yedder's an interesting one this year. With the Hunter Chem style being nerfed I am veering towards Inaki Williams now he's a striker.
Williams positioning and finishing look a bit low for me, though his physical and pace are obviously pretty damn special. If Ben Yedder gets a nice physical and wee pace boost I may go after him and his 5* WF, but on base cards I think Gameiro still looks the best of the 3 cheap La Liga contenders.
LT+RT seems better this year.
Apparnetly low driven shot is hold LB then RB then shoot (I never use it just going off what my boys are telling me).
I have to tell you lads I've gone all-in and spent like 80$ in fucking packs already. All this got me was Chucky Lozano, who I moved for 35k, Ribery (who is fucking useless), and a couple other random TOTW's I never really heard of.
I have 110k in coins and around 380 fucking players otherwise. I think I'm in decent shape once I start grinding it all out.
I've been trying the bronze/silver thing where you just throw them on the transfer market and hope someone bites for an SBC or otherwise. I've only sold like a dozen or so but i'll take that over 30 coins on quick sale.
Also the EA Access trick where you keep loading the game until FIFA19 comes up does work but it takes a lot of patience.
My boy has put in like 20 hours doing it. I used it a couple times and it's def saved me a few hours.
Thankfully I'll have enough hours to go home tonight and play and then run it at midnight :drool:
Again, any tricks or tips welcome cause I'm trying to do good in that league I'm starting :)
"There are coin boosts in the EA Catalogue. Buy the most expensive ones first as they give more coins! You can also buys all balls, kits etc. and sell them on the market!"Quote:

Probably can't watch tonight unfortunately. Can you record it?Quote:

Oh well, just seen you can do the Hybrid Nations SBC for 27k, which is an absolute bargain, so I'll do that on the web app.
EDIT: Scrap that, Futbin is well out of date.
apparently Fred and Davinson Sanchez are "extinct" so hold them if you have them? Just passing along the word.
I sold Fred for 20k, so I'm hoping he isn't available at 50k when his price range gets changed.
That said, if I've invested the funds wisely it'll have been worth it.
I did Hybrid Nations and Hybrid Leagues for less than that, and just need to use the loyalty glitch on the last set of players in League and Nations Hybrids to finish that off too. Definitely worth it.Quote:

If you do the glitch Merse do you lose any coin boost bonus you had?
EDIT: EA Access glitch works again now.
Yep, I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a really awkward button combo when you're attacking. Also, they've been nerfed apparently anyway.Quote:

Breaking down the opposition is so much harder than it was. The AI cut off the passing lanes so well and your players don't seem to make anywhere near as many probing runs.
I can count on one hand the number of through ball goals I've scored in 30 odd matches now.
But fuck me, when you get a timed finish right, it's outstanding.
Yeah, when I was playing the beta I was fucking terrible at them but I connected with one that looked like an absolutely perfect finish.
The downward headers didn't seem to work though which is how I scored most of my goals.
I got Dembele from my Champions League player pick pack. :cool:
That's accelerated the need to get Promes.
Sniped Promes for 20k and Ben Yedder for 5k.
I got Lozano from mine.

Allez les shitheads.
2-0 loss in my first match (although with no instructions/custom tactics) on Legendary against Lingard's team.
Had troubles breaking down the defence through the middle and every header I had I put wide :\
How did you get Pogba on loan?
Gone with this for now.

Down to 15k, but with a shitload in the club. Forgot to say I packed that TotW Lazio keeper in my Jumbo Premium packs.
Just had a quick look at the custom tactics and knocked up some crude stuff.
It's so fucking detailed now which is brilliant but not something I want to be constantly pissing about with at 1 in the morning.
I got him on the web app when it said what nationality I was aiming for with my starter squad.Quote:

The pass by Amalfitano in the build up is so good.
2-1 win on Legendary in my first game with the new team.
I can finish, but I can't create for shit. My players just refuse to make sensible, forward thinking runs. I'm going to fuck around with the tactics and see what that brings.
That video is a prime example of my issue Mahow, I just don't get in those positions with a man spare to thread a ball through to - the opposition are so compact and deep sitting, no matter the score.
Nice goal btw.
I do think that the tactics helped as I also struggled with having that extra man.
Need to tweak them more as I was all over the place defensively.
This might just be the most frustrating game ever. Every team I play parks the bus in a way Mourinho could never dream of then somehow finds away to turn a switch and counter attack in a quite ridiculously effective fashion. Meanwhile, my players refuse to run towards the goal and are often to be seen running straight into each other or away from the net when it's actually harder to do so.
This post is sponsored by having just lost 4-1, despite being 1-0 up at half time and having 70% possession. Mandzukic scored a header from the edge of the 18 yard box ffs.
Played the full game last night. From the intro packs and various basic SBC I did, I managed to pack Martial and Arnautovic. My team is currently 79 rated on 80 chemistry. I had two games of SB on legendary last night and the first game I won 1-0 with a last minute martial goal and the second game I won on penalties after 1-1 in extra time. It does not feel to difficulty at this point. Feels very similar to FIFA 18, but it is early.
One thing I always did on FIFA 18 was never drag my central players out of position to defend the wide area. I've notice on FIFA 19 you can get edit the tactics so the central midfield players can 'cover wing' or 'cover central'. by Default the CDM are set to cover wing but i have changed that. However, ive noticed crossing and heading is super strong and the AI are created chance after chance by thoriwjng balls into my box. My GK is making some super saves. May have to amend my style of play and try and actual stop crosses.
Ive also noticed first touches have been nerfed and your player is not always going to control the ball correctly. It just bounces of them at times.
WFH today as I was feeling like shite. Just so happens to coincide with FIFA 19 release day :cool:
Was reading this thread earlier and like the "squad fitness" idea, so picked up a few to stash and re-list at a later point.
Decided to go with Leverkusen in Career Mode as they've got some cracking players (Bailey/Havertz/Brandt behind Volland and then a great back four of promising youngsters). Plus they have a pretty cool kit.
If you can get squad fitness for cheap it's a great coin maker.
As soon as the weekend league hits they are in massive demand. People don't want to waste time playing a fitness game as there's already 40 games to play over a weekend.
Its 30 games now which is still a lot. Im going to play more weekend league though this time around given its a new learning curve.
Also not that it makes much difference, the pack opening animation if awful. It looks like FIFA 14 which I never played.
30 games is much better. You can split that to 10 per day, which is not too unmanageable.
It might promote people to rage quit less too. Not as much need to rush into the next game to fill your quota. I feel like 25 is the sweet spot for it.
I did do about 2 or 3 months of playing the full 40 games back in '17. Your entire weekend has to be based around it. Even then you needed to hope for some rage quits and be prepared to do it yourself.
If you could make it higher end of Gold 1 or to Elite 3 it was so worth playing those extra games, but I'd constantly choke good starts. I once needed 4 wins from 8 games to get into Elite 3. I won 2 and then lost 5 on the bounce. Choked it.
I don’t know how they’ve managed it but you’re right, it’s hideous.Quote:
