Games like FIFA, you cant be playing the previous version while the current version is out. Its just not right. For me, they should close down the servers of the game once the new one is 6 months old.

Regretting buying this already. Since the start of fifa 18 (maybe 17?) I've just been so awful. I genuinely don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was never that good, but kinda passable, able to get to div 2/3 on FUT. I'm 0-1-10 so far on this one. Defensively massive shit show, after years of spamming whatever the pressure button is on sprint it takes all of my effort to not do that, but when I try to "jockey" and back off, the other team just passes through me and scores. Going forward i'm constantly getting into a situation where I'm in an advanced position with the player on the ball, but all the other players on my team are like 15 yards behind me. Whereas my opponents seem to be able to make about 4 passes from where they win the ball in their box and suddenly they have about 7 players on 2.
Any obvious advice to be less shit??

Are you on Xbox Igor? I could give you a game tonight and give you my two pennies worth. Unbelievably it sounds like you might be worse than me at playing the game.
In other news, 25 packs stored now, with a shitload more SBC's still to go at.
CAM Neymar coming in TOTGS
Hyperlink to that shiny new fullback and strong link to Kimpembe/Mbappe. I might have a new right hand side.
Woah now. That might tempt me.

EL one too. Sokratis OTW should go up.
Fuck those futswap objectives look a grind.
And have I missed a meeting? What is the point of those TOTGS players? They're no better than the existing UCL card.
But they are prettier!
EA are taking the piss royally with 'upgraded' players this year.
The fucking state of this as well.

Sokratis OTW dead at 55k.
Fuck sake.
Are the TOTGS cards dynamic? SIAP
I have Koulibaly's regular CL card so if the GS one is dynamic I'd like to think Napoli could go far in the Europa if anything and bump that up real nice (if these cards work as I suspect anyways).
Nevermind, the Griezmann is basically the same as the dynamic CL one so that makes no sense.
Fekir is also the same.
It's pointless.
It's a joke.
I've got his UCL live as an untradeable.
The more I think about it the more I think they've fucked up again. Either that or it's a test to see exacty what shit they can re-package and still cream it in.
How long are these fuckers in packs for? The overall pack weight will be garbage while they are too, so I may have to sit on and grow my stash of packs for a bit longer.
Did the MM and those 2 UCL themed SBC's.
Best normal pull was Miranda.
Best UCL pull was fucking Pyatov.
Stocked up on 40 Kompany cards @ 10.5K.
Should make an easy 3K per card in the hype of a Sterling POTM card.
I bought RTTF Taglifico (Ajax LB) and am having trouble getting him into a hybrid squad. Was thinking of getting Scream Mascherano (his stats look bonkers for a DM) - anyone have any suggestions? There aren't many decent Argentinian defenders to give me an "out" from the LB position. I could go for Di Maria but I'd prefer him on the right cutting in.
IF De Ligt gives you a strong link.
Whats the rest of the team like?
You can like "out" from De Ligt with players like VVD and Wijnaldum if you are going prem.
Alison
'RB' - VVD - De Ligt - Tagliafico
5-0 start again but I can feel my eyes going so I'll stop.
Gameplay has felt very off tonight. It's felt like a thousand mph. I'm not even sure if that's in a good way either. I'm usually in control of games with 55-60% possession, but tonight saw me struggle to hold the ball against constant pressure. The one thing I did a bit more was knock it around the back. I let them sprint at me all game and then pounced late on.
I'm using red Batsman up top for now to fill in the gap. Once I can afford Messi, he'll drop into the CAM spot and I'll play Griezmann as the striker. This team is so enjoyable going forward. If I ever find myself through on goal now I have full confidence I'm scoring.
Hmm, yeah - VVD is probably a bit out of my price range, but is maybe the best option.
So far I've planned out this (which would leave De Light on 7 chemistry with Loyalty, which is probably ok for a centre back)
Handanovic
Taglifico - De Ligt - De Vrij - Skriniar - Florenzi
Mauidi - Hamsik - Milinkovic-Savic
Mertens - Dybala
Dutch Manager + Serie A league. Everyone but Tag gets a link and De Ligt is then on 8 I think.
How Frankie De Jong doesn’t have another card yet I will never know.
Edit: Did you end up selling Mbappe?

I might actually do that Kroos.
SBC priced at about 90k. His normal card is about 90k.
So worth it if you like him/were looking at him.
I might hold on for someone different.
Just picked up 10 regular Toni Kroos for under 400k.
There's got to be something over Futmas that will push his price up from 40 to at least 60.
Hmm so he'd replace Modric in my team if he came in. Modric can be sold for 55k so this Kroos would only really cost 30-40k then take away anything earned back in the packs.
He's slower than Modric, and is worse on the ball, with 1 star less skills and 13 less stamina. However, he's taller by a fair amount, is a much better in the final 3rd, has a 5* weak foot and is 16 points stronger as well as being a bit of a better defender.
2-2 after 4 games in FutChamps. Aborted the 4-2-3-1 after the first three games and the 4th match felt much better going back to the 4-3-2-1.
37 packs and counting and just bought Paul Pogba for 380k.
What's the team like after you gutted the club @Yevrah?
On further reflection, that Kroos card is a marginal upgrade on the previous card and has now risen to 110k. It's still there for 6 days in case I change my mind but for now it's a no from me.
I've not been happy with my midfield myself but I can fix it in a big way if I drop the Messi plan. It'd mean bringing in Fabinho, Mbappe and either Kante or Pogba. Mbappe would replace Bale on the right(lol at Bale being 50k more than what I bought him for on Thursday) on the right. Aubameyang could be brought back in and then have the CDMs be Fabinho and then add in Kante for security or Pogba for more midfield attacking presence.
I've got the UCL card untradeable.
You can get the loan Dybala from the catalogue if you want to try him out. I think you get 6 or 7 games with him too.
This is what I'm rocking now.
With Red Chilwell.
Was moving to the 4-2-3-1, but I realised I'm rubbish with it. Couldn't get the outside CAM's to do much and worse still, couldn't get Dani Alves into the game at all. 9 games from him with no goals and no assists. Switched back to 4-3-2-1 and he's gone 3-1-1 now and been a constant threat. I've gone bollocks to trying to reign him in, stuck a Sniper on him and he's causing havoc. Absolute joy to play with he his.
3-3 now, could have been 5-1 and definitely should have been 4-2. I've had two rage quits so far, which is more than I've managed in an entire weekend before.
3-5 now. Two solid defeats, albeit I took the lead in one.
Gutting.
Kante for Guilavougi, surely?
It'll line up like this in game.
Guilavogui makes an obscene centre back.
That said, if Gameiro is crap I'll have to change things (I think he'll be brilliant with a sniper) and I'm not 100% on Makele. It's just a bit of a bugger to get Neymar and Telles in the team on full chem without him or another icon.
Won 2 in a row to take me to 5-5 in FutChamps, including the last game where I was 3-1 down to a complete shitehawk.
Disappointing not to be 7-5, but still, I'll take that for the day. I was aiming for at least Silver 3 as I don't know how many games I'll be able to play, so should be good for at least that now.
5* weak foot is so valuable in a forward. Especially one quite dainty and able to shift the ball quickly. Very nearly a goal contribution per game is a great return.
After seeing you added Pogba I decided to try it myself. Brought in Fabinho to keep Neymar on 10, Mbappe to link it all up and then brought POTM Aubameyang back in. The frenetic gameplay seems to have stuck around. But it seems to suit me well. The added height and strength in midfield is also a big bonus. I've got myself up to 11-0 but am out of time tonight. I don't really have time tomorrow either which is a shame, considering we could well see Messi, Kante, Son and Salah in this TOTW.
I had a nightmare last night that I packed middile Laurent Blanc. I woke up and had to check my team to see if I really did.
Fancy using that Kroos in place of Rabiot. I can either shift on Mbappe and Lalla in favour of Bale and IF Carvajal, or keep them and get everyone on chem by switching from the 451 into 433(4) in game. Not a fan of formation switching but may give that a go first as Mbappe is such a big player for me.
Sounds good.
