It's also heavily theorised the other way around.Originally Posted by bruhnaldo
Thinking on it, I won't even have left until 8.20 most mornings anyway as I'm only 20 mins from the office so I can happily do so with a coffee as a Thursday morning treat on console anyway. At least I can enjoy the non-walkouts in fully animated glory then I guess.
lololol true.
Fuck D4. It’s so shit. Have played so many players that abuse a single mechanic over, and over, and over. They’ve all reverted to 82 teams as well, the serious ones having gone liquid for Black Friday causing the crash this week.
Fuck this. Cannot wait to get back to D5. Just wish I could stay there. Every time I go up I have to sit through hours of this shite getting only 200 odd Rivals points when I lose, derailing me getting into rank 1.
The best players have openly admitted to purposefully relegating themselves to Div 3/4. I'm thinking of dropping to 5 myself. Simply to avoid this shit. FUT Champs is a nice break from midweek play now, which is something I never thought I'd say.
That TOTW is disappointing. Although anything above 82 rated would be quite decent. I'll probably decide on my team after rewards are claimed.
Problem is, I just go straight back to D4. I threw a game to go back down, leaving D4 this time with 1 win, 1 draw and 5 savage losses alongside that one. Back in D5 I won my first two games 3-0 and even then when I drew 4-4 it was after being 3-0 up, then having the AI give away a pen and red card on my behalf, and the guy got a corner goal that rebounded off about 6 players to go in. Had I gave a shite I’d have subbed on a defender (left myself without an LB) and shored up, but D5 is too easy. The gap though is utterly, utterly mental.
It doesn’t even feel like a true skill gap, it’s just guys that abuse one or two mechanics at most, many just drag back and turn in circles until they can finesse from the D, another guy couldn’t receive the ball without using the flick up to volley to every player, over and over until finally he volleys in the area...
It’s the fifa equivalent of when Kerlon was running about doing the seal trick. Or Denilson doing step over after step over with fuck all to his game.
Oh, and they all play no pressure deep defence.

I've just played the most mental game of FIFA to round out the weeks Rivals games.
I scored from kick off and then he went all out attack in some form of 3-4-3 for the rest of the game. He had pretty much as best a Bundesliga side as money could buy and would score instantly from kick offs. His defence is what won me the match however. He would just charge at the ball at full speed. In the late stages his players tired and I bagged my final 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.
14 goals? Jesus.
Got Felipe Anderson from my player picks.
I got Chilwell.
Could have been worse and now up to 1.6m coins.
I got Chilwell and Hazard for my FUT rewards. Chilwell will go straight into my team and Hazard, will make the bench and eventually will get traded in. Do these RED cards counts as IF with SBC?
I find rivals D5 much harder than FUT Champs. Ive only played one FUT Champs weekend and played rivals all other times so my experience in Champs is lacking.
Completely gutted my club and managed to gather about 300k in coins whats the best way to plan for Black Friday? I'm thinking of doing the Bronze Pack Method, and then doing the silver and gold upgrades with any bronze/silvers from leagues that wont have an SBC, that will leave me with a load of nice gold and silver cards ready for the flash SBC's what do you guys think?
Nope, which is bloody annoying
Sounds like a lot of work. But that will work for you in the long run.
Converting bronze to silvers is a long slog and you go from having tradeable bronzes to untradeable silvers.
That said, I don't think BPM pays out anywhere near as well as it once did, so Silver Pack Method might be where it's at. I'll be testing again next week.
Timo Werner in my rewards
Finishing off my Bundesliga SBC spreadsheet (so much more painless finishing up the silver teams now when you can snipe players for under 1k rather than 10k max BIN) and noticed Javi Martinez is going for 2.8K. Are prices crashing already? Surely he's going to be worth more than that as a decent league/nationality 84 when a new SBC comes out?
He is extinct on PS4.Timo Werner in my rewards
You can rinse and repeat stokcing your club with 83,84 and 85 in and out of promos. Carvalho is 2k now and when an SBC is needed for 84 or 85 requiresments. (possibly tomorrow for the POTM), he goes up to 3.5k+
Yeah I saw the thres on reddit. They set his max bin at 250k
I knew I should have into into some big players last night. Market is up again today. I do have 6 Fabinhos bought for about 71k last night but I didn’t really commit
For the probably Auba POTM. Ive already had lots of the cheapest prem league IF. Duffy and Mitravoic are both are 15k which is 4k more than I paid for them. Im selling them now and buying the gold ozils, mullers, matic, etc. 85-87 rated players. Ozil is 23k which is a little pricey, but im taking risk on this FIFA. A premire league 86 rated team will be required, im certain of it.
Edit: As long as Barkley does not win.
I don’t know if Sama is lurking still, but anyone’s welcome to partake.
2m coins (I have less but based on prices dropping) what team would you build on Xbox?

Belotti and then Hazard from my picks. Both could be semi usable I guess, but I'll never complain about being given free in-forms.
My 100k packs had TOTW Hazard again and then David Silva, to bag me another 70k or so. Felt my luck was in so I then opted for the tradeable packs from Rivals Rank 2.
Pulled TOTW Richarlison from my Jumbo Premium Gold pack, nothing from the Mega pack, but then pulled Matic and TOTW Chester from the final 50k pack.
That takes me from 20k to 150k. I still haven't sold Richarlison as he looks actually quite useful under the hood. I'm guessing I probably should though. I also have about 60 rare golds and 20 non-rares on the trade pile.
All sold up I'd have 240k to hand without selling anyone. Could bump that to 500k if I sold up.
Adding Ramos would just take it above 2m, but you can put any La Liga players in goal and the right of defence anyway. It's not quite perfect, but that'd do you well.
I personally think Mbappe must be in teams at all costs.
“I personally think Mbappe must be in teams at all costs.“ doesn’t put him in his team
I went though and built one and it came out to be 2.4malthough it would be closer to 2m if you want until after the weekend league/do well in the crash.
Courtois
Valencia
IF T. Hernandez
Varane
Marcelo
Pogba
Kante
Mordic
Mbappe
IF Laca
Martial (base, inform makes it a 2.6m team)

I was supposed to have put the 2nd team I made underneath that
Here it is anyway!
We have thought along the same lines on that second tramgoing the French route.
Trams to France for everyone.
Should come in just under 2m. Gustavo is just to fit in Mbappe but he's very solid defensively.
fuck. I am leaving it now.
I sold my Valencia and Sánchez this morning for a nice easy 20k profit. I’ll pick them up again next week. If Auba goes for 290/300 over the weekend and I shift my Lemars I will be at about 2.25m. Really need to do something with it.
Ramos has gone up 25k
FFS
All the big names have. Pogba, Kante and VVD are up 30/40k over night.
Not sure how many if you guys use it but I would really recommend Futbins list option. Basically a short list of players you can refresh any time.
I have it stacked with big names, investments and a couple of other randoms I wanna see. It’s under tools/lists.
How do you add to the list?
Should be an “add FUT 19 player to your list” box, type in there like a normal search.
Cheers.
On Squad Battles again and they've definitely made it harder against the wank teams on Legendary. Absolute tossers.
Buffon and Gundogan from MM. Take that. I might put the former straight into the team.
Hamsik and Ederson for me.

Interesting.
I've redeemed Futchamps qualification for this weekend.
I am guessing this is going to kill the market tomorrow evening.

This luck. Christ.
This tweet
I know I had some good luck this week but christ. Either of those pulls is worth more than my club!
Sneaky peek at tomorrow.
So I've been playing about and come up with this. Solves the problem RW spot pretty well and brings in another CM favourite of mine, but this one may just be out of my price range to do in one week. I'm also unconvinced by the defence of this.
The other option is to sell up and splash the cash on moving to the Premier League(can't beat them, join them) and buying big on defence. I could afford Walker, Sanchez and Van Dijk with what I have already. I could even save on Virgil and spend that money about the midfield.
Bought Ramos. Debut game he instantly felt more aggressive than Umtiti, but gave away an 86' pen only to turn up at a corner in the 90' min and grab his first goal for the club
Typical Ramos.Bought Ramos. Debut game he instantly felt more aggressive than Umtiti, but gave away an 86' pen only to turn up at a corner in the 90' min and grab his first goal for the club
Auba POTM and he is needed
Also, when his price falls it’s a pretty reasonable SBC
Edit: maybe not that good for a +2
That was why I enjoyed it so much.
4-1 start to WL. Really should be 5-0 but I just couldn’t finish for treacle in my first game, where I had about 20 shots to his 2.
Hoping for La Liga SBC very soon. I’ve got 650k of squads ready to go and anything but a right sided player is likely to fit in either my A or B teams.
Do that Tah's stats increase if Leverkusen move through the CL?
And have EA confirmed what upgrades each dynamic UCL player gets? If it follows the IF path then that Renato Sanches.
