    Nah I hear you. Space is hard to come by, lately if I take a step and just try and rip a high powered finesse shot I've found I can sometimes beat the defender that way when used to I'd never score that way.

    Maybe it's just me I'm not sure.

    I'm going to look up some custom tactics and watch some gameplay to see what I can do.

    In the meantime I've claimed my 34k coins and duly been relegated to Div 5(my skill rating dropped from 1650 or so to 1400 during my horrific run). Hopefully things are easier there.

    I've turned that into building a premier league team. I have this:



    70k left in my pocket and 3 options. 1. Spend it all on one special player(maybe Son or save a little for Frimino/Mane). 2. Pick up a Jesus or Lacazette for up top and then look to someone like Martial on the left. 3. I cheap out and just buy a LW, then use the rest to bump up my Serie A squad.

    Welcome to the club.

    First time I've ever managed to get a 100k+ player in my red card pile, and he'll fit perfectly in alongside Valencia in one of my teams, in place of Davinson Sanchez (who replaced his NIF card an age ago).

    The Marquee Matchup packs are quite poor this week, but on the plus side you can do almost all of three of the sbc's with bronze players.

    How the fuck have you pulled players like that from a Gold Pack, a Gold Players Pack and Electrum Pack?

    Not that I'm bitter.

    That was in the gold players pack, I got nothing in the rest. Not that I can complain.

    Sold a panic bought OTW Mahrez (while he was taking the penalty) for a small profit today. I have another one ready for the weekend. City have Burnely at home....could be shoeing.

    Had a lapse of judgement last night and sunk about 200K into packs. Ended up with absolutely fuck all.

    Not sure if the odds change for SBC packs but I did one of the marquee matchups this morning and pulled IF James Rodriguez. He's 'only' worth about 180K it seems due to being a slowish RM, but that should see me break even at least with all of the other shit in my club. I'll keep him for a while, probably depending how cheap those scream cards end up being.

    Had a go at silver pack method last night, opening 10 of them. Didn’t make a profit and haven’t got much left that will increase in value, but it wasn’t a disaster.

    Should definitely be a goer once more league sbcs are rolled out, providing everyone doesn’t jump on it.

    Pretty happy with that. Obvious upgrades are Lewandowski and Alaba but I'm not sure they really make sense for the price.

    Howedes is actually decent despite having -1 pace. Never loses 50/50s with wingers.

    Ive heard good things about that formation @five time. I havent used it as the central areas looks really weak but i hear it is really good. All you players are always in straight lines to pass.

    Yeah I struggled finding a formation I liked. This is probably a bit weaker defensively but you have enough numbers in midfield to keep the ball well and there always seems to be someone in space.

    I'd recommend getting CAMs with a bit of pace as they end up drifting wide and swapping with your wingers a lot of the time.

    Threw loan Sane and Mahrez into my team to give it a temporary bump and also try out potential future purchases. Good lord, Sane is the truth.

    I did buy Lacazette and Martial, however I don't like the former. He just doesn't offer too much of anything other than if the ball falls to him around the box. I'll be selling him back and then I'll have about 65k. I may put Zaha back in and improve other areas.

    Has anyone used Alisson or Ederson? I'm wondering if they're worth spending the 25k on. I'd probably look to bring in Sterling or Willian on the right and then put money into either the back line or midfield after that.

    I havent tried any of the high rarted goalkeepers but playing against them. They come flying out of goal in proper sweeper keeper fashion which is good. Holding triangle to bring out your keeper isn't that clean on this one. They are slow to react and when they get to the ball, half the time they dont even react as the ball goes passed them.

    I have been using Leno with no real complaints. Keepers are always dodgy on this game. I would say spend the money on the rest of the side and upgrade the keeper later.

    I've got OTW Ederson, he's been very good actually, solid shot stopper and saves a fair few chances that I would expect to go in. However, before that I used Kepa and he was only marginally worse, and I think you can pick him up for around 2k. Don't know how good he is in comparison to Leno.

    OTW Allison?

    Yeah I tried Pickford and Kepa before realizing Leno was dirt cheap and I liked him last year, before Fahrmann of course!

    Does Zaha offer more in the play than Laca or are you just using that as a stopgap? I like Laca but I am sure I could spend that 270k somewhere else.

    I tried Arnautovic for a few games last night, probably a poor sample size but I did not get on with him. He was anonymous. At least when Laca is anonymous I can trust him to turn up in the box to put a chance away.

    Oops, yeah I meant Allison. Packed him in SB rewards early on, and he'll probably stay in my XI until TOTS.

    They're trying to play the long game. If everyone gets great players now, they won't be opening packs as much in March/April you'd imagine.

    It's the same reason everyone has come out with fuck all for pace/stamina now. We still have 3 months of playing even until TOTY. 7 months until TOTS.

    I like Zaha as he has the pace to get in behind but is better on the ball, which is much better for a quick turn out of trouble. Doesn't quite have the physicals though. Jesus seems to be a compromise between the two so I might give him a go.

    Bottom line is they make money hand over fist with the current strategy, so why would they change it?

    Only 82 rated with two IFs for that SBC. So they shouldn’t move too much. They have 7 base golds 80+ that aren’t Reus.

    After taking the advice I didn't spunk on a goalkeeper. Instead bringing in Sterling and Mkhitaryan. The latter addition seemed to help me a lot in the final 3rd. Big improvement over Wijnaldum who was a very square peg in a round hole. Sterling is also very fun, especially on the counter.

    The team now looks like this:



    I have about 30k to upgrade this and I'm not exactly sure where to go. I might sell Mendy too. All of the counters I concede tend to come down his side to someone with pace.

    I've just seen that loan Balotelli too. Maybe there's another one coming?

    I've just under 10k DR points to my name so far. Considering in Div 4 the cut off for Rank 2 finished at about 12k, I'm in good stead. I just don't know what kind of figures I'm looking at for Rank 1.

    Has to be one other than the loan coming. Kind of like Verdi I would assume

    Which proves the point I was making earlier, in that the Xbox market had double the number of players for sale that it normally does despite the rewards for opening packs being a bit shit.

    So thats my current first team. If I sell Varane I will have over 1m in the bank. I am not sure what to do though. I am kind of interested in a couple of players:

    Pogba - 500k
    Kante - 400k
    86 Keane - 500k (96 CDM with powerhouse)
