Anchor personally. He's 6 foot on the dot, or 6"1 if I remember right and his jumping is in the 80s. Anchor pushing all his defending and physicals up to 99 or damn close to it, is what I'd want personally.Originally Posted by Yevrah
This is why it's worth looking under the hood at new cards. He does actually look decent, but not for 180k that you can't get back.
Yeah I compared the three prem LB choices (assuming you did PVA) here. He doe have international rep of 2 vs their 1, but still.
Yeh I got fuck all after deciding not to save them for TOTS after all, then opened those I had been saving, and still got fuck all. Except 1 Higuain.
Will be saving packs again, as tbf, I've always found TOTS to be decent for pulls.
I'd agree, put it on him last night and he was great. I worried he'd be like Big Sol - too slow to turn, especially in place of Ramos who has fantastic agility/balance, but I found with an anchor he was pretty damn great. Very similar to Varane. His key passing stats are high enough too for me, playing out (and into trouble) from the back.
@Trancemeister two things - 1. Int Rep - an arbirtary value used to bump OVR's. Apparently Fifa first employed it to cope with the Tomas Muller quandry - not great at anything but great overall. 2. The rating is aligned to their key in games in their position, hence you get OP wingers when deployed at CM and so on.
Kurzawa is much better than Mendy from the stats. He's a nightmare to play too - struggled vs him a few times already. NIF Mendy is too much of a tanker for me, imagine similar from this one and the other Mendy (F from Lyon) is miles better - have played with him in draft.
I'm thinking about doing Desially and trading in my Big Sol. However, I'm hoping we get a flashback Ashley Cole who would fit into my team perfectly on 10 chem next to Big Sol.
I Ive won 20 games in WL. Hazard as CAM with Figo and Ronaldo as ST is really working well for me. The weak link at the moment is pogba. I think it is his low defensive work rate, he just stands on the right channel when my opponents gets the ball. He is untradeable, but I think upgrading him next is the next step
How many coins do you have? If you trade Sol for Desailly and then bring in Ferland Mendy he'll also get 10 chem to linking to your Pogba as well.
I've been looking at what we get from other nations, as we're due 4 more OP Icons.
We've also Argentina - Maradonna and CDM Zanetti. The latter is the one we'll get there and he'll be an interesting option if cheap enough.
Italy - We've had Cannavaro and Baggio so that leaves Maldini, Del Piero or Inzaghi
Spain - There's only Puyol
England - Moore, Lineker, Gerrard, Shearer and Scholes
Add in Germany and Holland and 2 of those have to miss out.
400k and a further 200k on transfer pile. Pogba will be cut fairly soon. I'm not desperate for Desailly or F.Mendy. UEL Alonso and Man City Mendy are fine for me. I would rather wait for Ashley Cole (hopefully). I'm looking for a pogba replacement. Any suggestions?
Do we get a belgium flashback today? Kompany, Fellani, etc?
I didn't realise we'd had the list of countries involved.
Brazil, France, Belgium, Italy, Argentina, USA, Spain and Germany.
There isn't an Icon from Belgium so I'd assume they're out. Nor do the USA.
So with that you'd assume we're getting Puyol, Zanetti, Lehmann and maybe Del Pierro but probably Inzaghi
Petit
Ballack
Mattéo Guendouzi
Gerrard
All look like decent options. I like the idea of having a player with some size to him though to replace Pogba. I now play a 41212 narrow.
Because he has a higher reputation.
@ Trance
Try Guendouzi. Failing that try the loan of Petit out and see if he's worth the investment.
Just managed to snipe headliner Rashford for 770k. Next lowest is 860k on the market.
Also piling into low cost 84's, no way these do not rebound from ~2k

Desailly 83 spits out a mega pack for an 83 squad with no IF. Cost about ~12k. I got IF RVP and a few squad fitness.
Not too hard to come out ahead.
Flashback 91 Kompany and a random Nantes Belgian LM
Probably not worth replacing either POTM VvD or Luiz for me
Kompany's crap and as for the Belgian, sorry who?
He only had 70 pace ten years ago?
260k and 90k respectively as well. Fuck me.
The other Belgian is a good super sub, with 4*/5* but I'm not paying 90k for that and if I could, I'd be able to afford better.
The company card is exceptional. The cost of it is not. I do however have untradeables I'd be willing to chuck in to get him, but not sure if I'd regret using them.
I'm 8/9 on getting Emre Can. I'm trying to chuck Frenchies on to get them a goal towards Ben Arfa as well. I'm 4/8 on them. I've had 10 games of it so far, with the loss coming in penalties.
It's a good challenge although it's making me appreciate my normal team so much more. The passing is so off and after using Messi it's so hard to try and do quick little movements with silvers.
I only spend about 6k making the team so I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
Won't Kompany just be rinsed for pace?
Actually, and if he won't, it's just dawned on me that he perfect links to De Bruyne and that would allow me to move away from my Varane/Futmas Thiago Silva centre back pairing, which is the worst bit of my team. I also want De Gea.
EDIT: Although that does fuck TOTY Marcelo's chemistry up. If only I'd been on this account when David Luiz came out.
Pace matters fuck all if you're on 1 depth and drop back. Stick a shadow card on him and he's fine.
Got Emre Can in 10 games and managed to sell my team on for slight profit.
I'm torn between playing on in WL and starting up on the Brazil games.
Played 3 more and won 3 more in the WL. I didn't realise it but going from 6-4 to 17-4 took me on an 11 game win streak. God knows what happened Friday.
I then moved into the Talisca challenge. It's fair to say cobbling together a German side was much cheaper. The Brazil Silvers are all about 4k a pop for a decent one. I've ended up spending about 20k, but I figure the match coins will get me most of the loss in tax back.
I'm 6/10 for it now, having completed Ben Arfa along the way. So far it's not been too much of a drag. Should well complete it tomorrow.
Thanks for the tipSold a couple this morning.
Playing high depth is working really well for me while keeping two strikers on stay forward. Dyring the while WL league run, I didnt feel the need to change my tactics unless it was to defend a lead. Even then, I played even higher depth. There is a lot of space behind my defence to exploit, but even with the slow pace of my defenders, it wasnt exploited as I thought it would be. I have about 60% of the possesion and Ronaldo as an outlet.
Yeah, I've gone almost exclusively high depth now. It's more fun and ok, I'll get picked apart when I face someone very good, but it's worth it to actually enjoy the game and score some goals.
Can be lethal when you face someone who can't cope with it too.
Ive replaced De Gea with Carniball Lloris who is super agressive of his line. Any balls over the top of my defence and he is already rushing out with his 'Rushes out of goal' trait.
I tried that Emre Can out in the 2nd half of one of my games and he seemed very good even as a sub. I brought him on for Rijkaard and can't say I noticed too much difference apart from getting about the pitch a bit more.
Beware of spoilers whilst doing the silver challenges. By this I mean there are people doing these that are keeping top tier cards on their bench. If you start winning against them, they'll say screw it and bring on CR7 or Mbappe or someone else your shit silvers can't deal with. I've had it happen once, even though I still won.
I'm about to go finish Talisca in a second.
Talisca is done, leaving me with 1 more match for Weah and that'll be them all.
The best part is all of my Brazil Silvers have sold back on for a at least 1k more than I bought each for. So I've made money in doing this somehow.
If they turn it around and win once CR7 is on with the silvers, does it still count?
Nope. They're just doing it to spite you.
Ive been going into online single matches just to try and shit on man with silver squads. Im on his side.
I made a silver team full of Man United washouts starring Ravel Morrison like 4 or 5 FIFA's ago and people would be fuckin livid when I did beat them lol Never had so many hate messages.
If the list I saw the other day was right we're due Italy today.
That means Maldini, Del Piero or Inzaghi. Assuming it's not Inzaghi(not even Inzaghi wants Inzaghi) I'm interested.
It is Del Piero. No duplicate squads but a fair few TOTW needed. I'd suggest 1.5m at first glance.
They've also released Pitch Notes acknowledging gameplay issues and stating they're taking the rest of FIFA 19 to sort it out for now and the future.
Del Piero looks decent with a hawk and good value. I've got 15 odd TOTWs as well, so another I could easily do without killing the club, it's just the stamina and strength putting me off, along with the prospect of Ronaldinho.
Interesting. Definitely an upgrade? I can fit him in now with Desailly and Varane at the back.
This is putting me off doing any of these so far. I've used Del-P in the draft and loved him, but if Ronaldinho came next week I'd hate myself.
It's just, do we get him now or in 2 months...
I played against him and he was a monster. Ive got him in and he has saved some shots I would expect to go in. For my play style, he is good. I want to get TOTY De Gea though but is he worth it?
I can’t see it. With basic chem at 10 on him you’re only achieving an extra +5 handling, +2 kicking, +1 positioning and whatever on speed as he’s maxed out in most of the stats. If coins aren’t too tight maybe just go with his 93 card and the only thing not 98+ is his speed (which is 71 with basic).
Just got UCL MOTM Marega in the 50k pack from that daily puzzle SBC. He looks a monster if you can fit him in.
This Talisca objective.... Gave away 6 home wins, whilst people backed out when I was Home, so renamed squad and went for it. 2 games in, ugh. This is shit. These players a fucking awful.
Got 7 wins before tapping out for the night. The issues of the 2 CDM 3 depth teams just gets more apparent with the lack of movement and piss poor passing of this lot. Nonetheless, I'll finish it off tomorrow.
The 'upgrade' for Zanetti might just be the worst SBC I've ever seen.
Literally double?
It's mental.
Talisca and Hulk are as much fun as their IF's were a few months back. I've used them as my opportunity to try out 451 with my B Team, with Pato in front of them, Lucas and Anderson outside and Torreira at CM and it's bloody brilliant going forward. I may need to adopt this in my A Team as well, but want another week to keep trying it out.
It looks like Scream upgrades are coming Friday, so Koke may well become unusable and force me into changing him and Griezmann up sand fundamental changes being made to the A Team.
Zanetti coming in a bit too pricey for my liking. I would have liked to have seen that come in just on or under 1m.
The upgrade being 750k on top of putting your old Prime Zanetti in is a joke as well.
Del-P is tempting me a lot. I've used him in draft and loved him. He's sat at 1.3m from scratch, but what I have would knock that down a fair bit.
Do you tihnk we get more UCL dynamic cards seeing as half of the players have now been elimiated. Out of the original 20, after tonights game, we will hae 8 left.
They'll probably just do "TEAM OF THE ROUND" cards like they did with the Dybala card i have
