32 pace.
Does that mean he just walks around the pitch?

He's so tall he doesn't need to move much
Is that the 5 assists one? I planted guendouzi in CAM and gave the AI a humping
Yeah was just going to do that but then got into the idea of having a Silver Team so built one
Kasper Schmeicherl SBC up. 87 rated. 30k according to Futbin
I’ll hold out to see what Vieira costs before thinking on Petit. Doesn’t look a big enough upgrade vs Kondogbia.
Have contrived to go from 8-2 to 15-11 this weekend. Really struggling at the moment against a lot of ultra aggressive, high press types, giving up a lot of leads losing the ball in my own half.
Is the 1 depth, drop back fast build up bullshit still going on?
It is, but it's very much player dependant. Some have just stuck it on despite it not suiting them and you can break through them pretty easily. It's those who combine it with AI defending that are the problem. You can put your controller down until you get the ball and pretty much force your opponent into long shots.
The problem I'm having is dealing with crosses to CR7. He beats VVD in the air regularly which I find laughable. I'm 11-2 myself and will probably not play much more. I'm in bed early tomorrow night so no chance I'll be playing all of my games.
I've found switching to 4-3-3(5) is giving me much more control in games. Preventing the above mentioned scumbag tactics. I've had a few 1-0 wins in this, with possession around 60% which I'd not have thought possible usually.
POTM Sterling feels like a big upgrade to the last time I stated him. He seems to glide with the ball and is more reliable kicking it now.
Fuck. 16-14. Worst weekend in a long while. Playing through the early hours is always a bastard, but today I just found myself being assaulted. Everyone was super aggressive in defence, very attacking and playing that haphazard ball-bouncing-everywhere way that feels so difficult to deal with. I’m not sure if there’s a new aggressive, attack minded meta - if there is, I welcome it - and I’m not coping with adapting to it, or whether it’s just the opponents I got this evening/morning.
It most definitely is. Just lost 4-1 to someone who had less than 40% possession.Originally Posted by Sir Andy Mahowry
Quite enjoyed the weekly objectives so far. Went full silver for the draft token one and also took the Crouchbot route (he was in my club so why not?) and the Rome/Lazio one meant getting to use RTTF SMS and Futmas Lukaku, both of which I enjoyed.
Anyone on Xbox free to do the Online Friendly Futswap Objective?
So it appears the position change issue is finally fixed. Haven't noticed it which is good.
I'm now playing a 41212(2) on my return. I was struggling in rivals with my usually 4231 narrows. I play balanced, and all sliders on 5 except for depth which is all the way up. That sounds crazy, but it works really well for me. The middle is congested and most players I come across don't play with width, even if they do. I'm don't concede many headers at all. I need to work on my team though. I want some new players but can't afford them yet.
What's your team now Sincere?
GK - De Gea
LB - UEL Live Marcos Alonso
CB - Prime Sol Campbell
CB - SIF Van Dijk
RB - UCL Live Aurier
CDM - IF Kante
CM - KDB
CM - IF Pogba
CAM - IF Hazard
ST - IF Son
ST - SIF Mahrez
Its been like that since december. Hazard as a CAM is nasty. Those small players in that position on a free role cause havoc. Since changing formation, my strikers no longer score goals. It all comes from midfield.
They've dropped OP Baggio tonight.
He looks a good CAM, but is again too expensive to consider. 1.6m currently. I'm guessing people are just not doing these as Petit is now below 1.4m. Seedorf and Cannavaro down about 1.1m as well. Again though, we're getting middling ones that are good, but are they going to replace TOTS players that are coming up? Give us a big one for fucks sake.
I'm 16-2 in champs now and breaking for food. I don't think I'll be playing beyond 17. Though I am playing very well tonight. I keep scoring the same goal as well. Messi getting the ball in behind their CM and Raul making a run between LB and LCB, through ball and finish into the far corner.
Win 17 came at the first attempt. 6-1 too and I'm really enjoying the team.
Scored a couple of goals I really liked to.

That one is my favourite type of free kick to try beyond faking keeper movement out. They almost always end up hitting the bar for me so it was satisfying.
https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/sniper-wol...video/70449428
Speaking of faking the keeper out. This one was great to pull off as he'd already caught me off guard with keeper movement before.
Saving packs for TOTS now. Hopefully before long an OP Vieira SBC will be released that I can do entirely from the club, I'll then buy van Dijk and Alexander Arnold to upgrade from Live Kondogbia, NIF Ramos and TIF Lala, and keep saving packs and coins for TOTS and the deflation of other cards come May.
I'll also be making some St Pat's investments. That, along with Fut Birthday might bring a card or two I'm keen on, but I'm not hopeful.
I know I’ve said this before but they’ve fucked the icons so hard this year. Who, in March, is going to go anywhere near that Baggio, even with untradeables, let alone actual coins?
I didnt see any point in releaseing moment icons. It would have been much better if they released icons that are lower than the lowest icons or just random moments. How many icons are left to release as SBC. It looks like there are at least 20?
I have the 365 goal (and now 85 rated) Dembele back in my team.
I'd buy his headliners card if I could keep the record he's amassed.
Struggled to 11-9 this weekend. Found the gameplay to be so stodgy, with a ton of button lag. I definitely got outclassed in a few games by better players, but I lost a few where I would expect to be winning. With no major weekly objectives, I might take a break this week.
This.
I mean if you make the price cheaper then it's a different story. Like for example, Nedved. His 650k is cheap enough to make me think, screw it I'll try him. In reality they're about double the cost they should be right now.
We may be due another one at 6 but no doubt it'll be another middling one. My prediction is Giggs or Puyol.
They need to start dropping the elite ones. We have had a lot of cards dumped with the 2-for-1 packs so i exspect Pele 99
I can see the point. A bit, but in general I am with @Yevrah
The point that could be argued is that the OP Icons were needed due to the Prime's losing their value this year due to soooooo fucking many special cards. It's rendered Hero/MOTM and TOTW cards almost utterly pointless, to the extent that only Suarez and Lala's every show up in FUT Champs and the two of them are pretty much just there to service One To Watch and Headliners cards. The second batch shows more meaningful upgrades - Vieira, Gullit and Desailly just about justify the SBC's now (if the same as their primes would have been / were last year).
I don't necessarily mind the addition of the Prime Icons, they've just handled it badly (as they have done with icons all year) and are still releasing cards that nobody really wants, for a price that isn't worth paying.
So Giggs then.
Looks like 200k to 300k to upgrade the Prime if you already have him.
It's a shit card anyway, so I doubt anyone's really arsed.
Them actually doing Giggs shows how out of touch they are with this.
I'm fully convinced we're getting none of the big guns until TOTS time.
Yep.
If it needs to be said, which it probably doesn't in here, the card serves no-one. If you're a casual he'd be pretty great for your team, but you won't be able to afford him and if you're not a casual and can afford him there are so many better options. Seedorf for one if you must do a current SBC and even he's not spectacular.
When do you fancy doing those games Fox?
2* WF and 3* skills make it even worse. The only person that card serves is a die hard United fan with loads of spare coins about.
I can be on later this evening, or Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Whichever is easiest.
Shall we say tomorrow? I should be available from 8 ish.
Sounds good to me. We may have another disappointing Icon out then too.
If they keep putting these type of icon SBCs out, people must be doing them. Surely you wouldn't release them if no-one is doing them.
FYI on the FUTSWAPS you don’t have to finish the games. Me and a random from Reddit trades off goals and quits to do it. Took us under 30 min.
I am going to do the Giggs loan purely cause I am a United fan and I want to try the United cards. I think 2* WF is going him a little dirty. Not that 3/3 is much better.
Got Fabinho from the UCL sbc. Would be great if I didn't already have his IF. Would it be worth selling the IF and keep the CL card.
I'll be ready about 8:15 Fox if that works for you?
Bought myself 11 Toni Kroos' for 50k or under.
Figured as it's the lowest he's been since December and there'll be an SBC that utilises him soon he's worth it. 1m left in the bank.
Yeah sure, I'll get on just after 8.
No Icon or anything worth anyones time has sent the player base a little crazy. There are 40 Icon moments cards so far and we've had an SBC for a whole 6 of them. Not looking promising.
Some good games there @Yevrah
I was testing out a new 4-1-2-1-2 though some of it. Changed from fast build up to a possession version in which the full backs push up, instructed to overlap and join the attack.
It worked well in penning you back as I got more used to it, but as you saw, the right pass on the counter and you were in to score.
Anyone fancy some friendly seasons tomorrow night (or tonight rather, Weds night that is...)?
Bought a Kimoembe for 345k having seen Tagliafico go extinct at a 300% markup. Fancy PSG to do the business and he might just be my new CB in place of Ramos if his upgrade takes his base defending to 90 and he hits 85 jumping.
I'll be on later tonight Merse and I'll be good for some games.
TOTW this week looks pretty damn good actually:
I've had Donnarumma as a red pick every time he's made TOTW so we'll see if the trend continues. I'd probably want Mkhitaryan or Fekir out of what's there but anything 86+ you can't be complaining about.
Had a pack left from the one man down sbc. 88 Quaglirella.
Did the UCL SBC and got Rodrigo.
Not a bad one considering how cheap it is.
Bought an extra Cavani and Kimpembe when United scored their second, in a slight dip. 470k & 330k invested in this now. Bit of a gamble, but giving me a similar feel to having a bit of real money riding on the match, so quite fun.
I really wish I'd not logged into FUT tonight
Never bet on the French.
1.1m down to maybe 700k I reckon. FFS.
VAR, Solskjaer, Buffon. All cunts.
@Gray Fox
Cheers for that, nice to finally beat you once, if it looks a fleeting prospect of happening again.
Did you change up 2nd game into more pressing?
I can't deal with this oppressive pressing as soon as I win the ball, as I regularly win it in my final third and then have 4 players on me, no outlets and clearances seem to hit the pressers all the time. You've also got that thing down where I fend you off, turn away press to pass and you've nicked the ball from between my legs, behind me. Happened vs Ramos and Varane a few times. Most infuriating. Well played - I'd say I only meet a couple of your quality in each weekend at most.
Did call you a trashy Fifa 11 cut-back Cunt to the missus though once though
