Basically play the dullest football possible for the first 70 minutes, keeping things compact and hitting them on the counter. If you're playing simple passes you won't give up much and unless the opponent is actually good at the shithouse tactics they employ you should create something in that time.
After 70 I bring some fresh legs on for when their players do start to tire for the last 10 minutes, at which point you have loads of space to exploit and you can run riot.
Last two games I played I won 2-1 against a super team (doing exactly the above) and then drew the last one 1-1, nearly winning it in the last minute but the ball was scrambled off the line.
What has complicated things somewhat is the introduction of hard interceptions (or whatever it is) which is frustrating, because at best you get a free kick, which are useless and leave you horribly exposed at the back.
Should I sell the following players, who're more or less extinct, or will I get more for them when their prices are increased and another SBC comes along:
Busquets 88 - 40,000
Pique 87 - 35,000
Navas 87 - 24,000
Iniesta 87 - 24,000
Parejo 86 - 22,000
Verratti 86 - 14,000
Can't be certain, but I'm sure those rated players went for more in FIFA 18 once the SBC's were in full swing.
In the same boat with all but Navas. I only wish I’d bought more Busquets and Iniestas.
I’ve also got duplicate Gimenez and Diego Costa on the list that I’ll probably sell tonight. I’m a horrific hoarder though.
Is Mixer the new Twitch then? Just put it on to see you doing BPM, but wouldn't mind checking out your games from before.
It's Microsoft's twitch. Yev has an Xbox.
Has anyone tried Moussa Dembele (Spurs)

I have N'Didi and Seri and looking at that I am not sure he is really worth the upgrade. I have always heard good things about him though and being a physical beast seems to be in this year.
Yeah I know he does. We played a few games on 18. Will give him more on 19 when my team isn't a travesty.
He's got a 2 star weak foot, no chance is he worth spunking 30k on.
As for Mixer, yeah, it's something Microsoft have pushed through Xbox. Just gonna grab a drink then I'll play some more games, but unfortunately most will be squad battles as I need to see that out.
My team at the moment. Barely played anything this week.

Yeah I might give it a shot, tax loss if I am underwhelmed is manageable!
Here is my current squad. 350k to spend after Laca buy. Thinking I might try get up to 600k again and get Pogba so I have money to play with still.

I dont have a replacement forward for Laca right now (just keep topping off his fitness). I have Hazard as Sane back up. Sold Fraser as his price doubled from when I bought him. Will probably pick him up as backup later on.
What a sack of fucking shit that game was. I can only apologise to those watching.
I might have to turn off all the hub. I love how that looks on your screen.
Edit: and of course I missed the Ben Yedder goal posting that.
What's on your hub that I don't have?
Player names, stamina bar, all that nonsense. Just looks clean without it.
That bloke was so much better than me and that was a perfect example of a game I'd have been humped in last year. I could have even won it with Lucas at the end.
Ready for my annual bumming whenever you are Fox.

Need to practise this.
Ive got 3000 SB points this week (silver 3) I want one of those swap coins to try and get lallana and it looks llook you need gold 3 (9000 points) to get another swap card. Can it be done with five games left in SB?
That would be a close one.
What a game. I'm exhausted.
I've never had a shootout where you couldn't use the arrow.
Yeah, good games.
What tactics are you using that allow you to press me all over the park for 90 mins, but still keep your shape?
Are they likely to increase Verratti's maximum BIN anytime soon?
Disappointing not to see any new SBC's tonight.
It is and they’ll increase the ranges today.
There's another FUT swap player to be obtained via squad battles apparently.
For this upcoming week? I am up to 6 with the one from the comps just ended. Perisic in my packs. Not bad
Not quite sure how well you have to finish to get it.
Gold 3 or higher again.

Just opened my pre-order pack and got Casemiro. That's a 60k sale and triples the amount of coins I have.
Now it's just what to do with it!
They’re really keen to pile on the misery with those squad battles, eh?
My two Jumbo Premiums and two rare Mega Packs were genuinely so bad that there was nothing in there close to the Bolton badge I picked up from a silver reward pack via the companion app.
Scored a few screamers last night.
What buttons are you gents pushing when you move? It looks so much more fluid than when I do.
Try getting used to holding RB and moving about. With your better dribblers you can get yourself in and out of a pinch with that. Fake shots are also a great way of turning suddenly.
Im using the right stick for skill move step-overs. I hold L1 when dribbling with good dribblers. That sounds like RB that Gray Fox mentioned. The person I was playing completely folded in the second half. It may have been a different player at the sticks.
Okay game changer, I've just learned you get 400 division rivals points for every WL game completed. Win, lose or draw. I need in ASAP.
I also think it's time to just accept it and buy an EPL team. But I'll see what my 100k can get. I'm off on a sick day today, so pumping up that DR ranking is needed.
Any idea what scores I may be looking at to finish Rank 3?
Why cant you check what rank your freinds list are in rivals
Hadn’t consciously realised what 400 Division Rivals points per WL game meant until I read your post Fox.
Need to break the shackles of squad battles and get in that bad boy ASAP. Need another 1,000 points to qualify, so probably looking at next weekend rather than this one. Hopefully the form mechanic means I don’t get too brutalised on the first try.
If I've done the maths right, you'd get 12,000 Division Rivals points just for your 30 WL games. That'd have me in Rank 2 as it stands now without playing a single game through the week.
For me that'd be a bonus 50,000 coins for almost free. If you were to play squad battles through the week, then WL, you'd be getting 3 sets of rewards.
