FIFA 21: Featuring the FUT 100

[Gray Fox]

I've removed the PS5 version. I wasn't aware that you were locked to only play other PS5 users. Ever since I installed the new one winning a game became a proper struggle.

Everyone had this annoying ability to both have enough players back to swamp my attacks and enough forwards to get me on the counter every time. Something just wasn't right. It's been an infuriating couple of days feeling like I've faced the same player over and over. They were all very good with skilled dribbling, making it impossible for me to tackle them.
My attacks would always get crowded out too. I never seem to score the goal I so often concede. A counter with one or two passes being enough before the shot.

I've also decided it's time to find out a drop back tactic as it so often undoes me. I want to play the proper way but I just don't have the tools it seems.

You toxic piece of shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I played my first two Rivals games on PS5 earlier both were quick rage quits after going 3-0 up. Bebou won a penalty and got an assist and it's really nice having someone so electric out there.

Forsberg with a Hunter is almost as fast as Bebou but the agility/balance makes it feel like the difference is night and day. Whenever I had the ball with Bebou it genuinely felt like shit was about to happen.

It also dawned on me that I haven't lost with my first team since I got Blanc. It hasn't been many games (I'd say 6 or 7) but it has to be my best run of wins on Rivals.

I think I'll also dip my toe into Champs either next weekend or the week after as I'd like to be playing when TOTY comes out and would like some practice.

[Yevrah]

3-2 after 5.

https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust

First three games were tough and went 1-2, but won the last two fairly comfortably.

[Yevrah]

5-5 after 10, including a humping in the last one.

[The Merse]

Good week to logon just for MM and UEFA MMs. Got Ferland Mendy twice, Lloris, another 85 I can’t recall and two min bin in forms. Added 170k via those.

[Yevrah]

4 wins from the last 5 and we go into tomorrow at 9-6.

Eusebio is obviously amazing, but revelation of the weekend so far is Forsberg at CAM with an Artist. Cracking player.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I used Hunter on my Forsberg, he's on 114 goals and 103 assists in 98 games.

[Yevrah]

The price of that Ox.

[Gray Fox]

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Holy shit.

[Gray Fox]

More expensive than Felix. Lol.

[Danny]

Incredible. I was kind of interested for a second too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Finally a Telles assist but I don't think it's enough for an IF or even HYPE.

[Danny]

Everything but the assists in 15 games done on Coman.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He didn't quit after this but he did quit when I scored my second just before halftime.

About 100 ranking points above me but he got donned and it puts me into division 3 for the first time in any version of FIFA.

[Danny]

Is that POTM? I am loving chips this year

So scoring and putting my controller down (with the right stick pushed up) has so far resulted in two people being inactive for so long they get kicked and the game counts for me

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That is indeed the POTM.

[Danny]

I want to do it but with his 91 untradeable I just dont think its worth.

Having sold petty much all the cards I bought to make money on I am now up to about 2.6m in the bank. Really should do something with it.

[Yevrah]

More packs and maybe a 3rd icon.

[Gray Fox]

I've sold up everything I have. Luckily a few of the bigger cards went up a smidge to cover the tax a bit so I didn't lose too much. I just got into a rut with it. The passing was shite from everyone and it made me a bit to 1 dimensional.

140k to make a new team now. It's not much but I reckon it'll get me a good start in either Serie A or the Bundesliga. The 2 objective cards for those leagues would also slot straight into a team.

[Shindig]

I've started a team on Pro Evo's equivalent. Mainly so I can export the classics into the other modes. Bergkamp, Roberto Carlos, Rijkaard and Van Basten in. I have very little idea how this works. You can play against AI but it seems to restrict you to weaker teams so you smash them. Maybe I have to play more to give that boost?

You can't sell players but you can trade duplicates for another pull. 3 of the same card to qualify for it, though. GP (the free currency you get for playing) doesn't seem to go very far and it seems the paid currency gets handed to you at a snails pace. I'm rolling with the team 'Default Team Name' which I must've set up when I was reviewing it.

[Yevrah]

Back on, but just lost the first to go 9-7.

https://www.twitch.tv/chemicallocust

14 to go!

[Yevrah]

11-9 with 10 left.

Far more enjoyable this weekend.

[Danny]

The FIFA Stream is live now to earn those tokens.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

"Ticket".

[Danny]

I got timed out for putting !Vieira

[Yevrah]

14-11 and done.

Why would they time you out for that?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ha.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I just got timed out for "Gifts are fun"

[Danny]

They are probably timing out thing that make it obvious people are watching for the ingame stuff (even though it doesnt say drops are enabled).

[Yevrah]

Is Lloris viable to use?

If so, I can get Kante in when Beckham lands.

[Danny]

I havent used him but I imagine he is probably about as good as any other keeper (so not very).

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All they fucking do is just fall over, other than Nick Pope who exists just to piss me off.

[Yevrah]

Those Beckham objectives are nice, but I've scored 12 direct free kicks all year. I just very rarely get fouled there.

[Yevrah]

Some of them also have a counter that differs from the description.

[Danny]

81+ UCL Upgrade - 11 golds needed. 7 rare. 30 chem. Repeatable
Rare Player Pick pack (of 3) - 7 gold players. Minimum quality silver. 30 chem.

Beckhams Best objective
Score 62 goals with prem players any mode - two rare gold
Score 16 goals with UCL any mode - gold pack
Assist 37 with la liga any mode - Electrum Pack
Score 18 with MLS any mode - Gold Pack
Score 5 free kicks in SB's or Rivals - Premium Gold Pack
Assist with 15 crosses in any mode - 75+ rated player
Score 10 outside the box any mode - 75+ rated player

Rare players pack for all of that. Looks like its there for the season.

[Danny]

Guess I am hopping into a beginner game and assist 13 la liga goals really quickly.

[Raoul Duke]

Can bash those out simply enough but the freekick one is never happening

[Danny]

Apparently its meant to be:

Assist 80 goals using Premier League player
Score 16 goals using UCL player
Score 13 goals using LaLiga player
Score 18 goal using MLS player
Score 5 direct freekicks in Squad Battles semi-pro or rivals
Assist 5 goal with crosses
Score 10 goals from outside the box

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've only scored 1 free kick this year.

Had so many "nearly"'s though, keeper always manages to just get to it.

I was so good last year too.

[Danny]

And its now been changed to any mode.

[Danny]

Might be worth trying in friendlies. See if people here could trade off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They do count in friendlies, me and GF just did it.

Got the free kicks and exchanged a load of MLS/La Liga goals.

[Danny]

Very nice. I ran into someone who messaged me so we traded off.

[Danny]

Packed Tagliafico and one of those crappy MOTM's in my rewards.

[Raoul Duke]

If anyone's about tonight and wants to do it then let me know

This looks filth: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/commen...ion_score_1_a/ (definitely going to try it)

[Danny]

Are you on PS5 version? I would be down for letting you score a few.

I deleted the PS4 version of the game the other day though.

[Raoul Duke]

Nah, peasant PS4. My controller is whittled out of wood and connected to the console by string

[Danny]

I did see someone say you could couch play with two controllers and then score them against yourself.
