You may be right but in SP I should be able to see it at least and I didn't (MLS career mode match). it probably depends on what difficulty you're playing on, so if you changed that recently that could be the culprit.

Yeah it's come up for me in mp reasonably often Finished my weekend league games, didn't do as well as I'd like but I won 22 with 2 games left that would be pointless to play so I get 45k coins, a rare gold pack and 2 rare mega packs so that's still pretty sweet

I think you can press up on the d-pad to display the arrow. I played a few games locally with my friend and it made penalty shootouts/corners pointless because you can see exactly what the other is doing.

I've seen the arrow in pro clubs when someone else is taking the PK, but not every time. It's almost as if every mode that's not FUT receives the bare minimum attention required to ship the product.

Don't see me doing weekend league again for some time. You need to pretty much give up your weekend for it. Got to 18 wins and stopped playing. Even if you have the time, I got burnt out playing that many games in a row.

I will say one good thing about weekend league, I've never gotten so many matches so fast in my life I instantly got a match every time and it was never laggy, so it's pretty cool to have absolutely everyone who has the game it seems like playing the same mode at the same time

The weekend league model is fine by me. the reason they have 40 games in like 2 1/2 days is specifically because most people won't do it. They don't want to give out that many prizes and mess with the market too much. I was busy most of the weekend and played only 8 games I think. I won 5 and I'll still get 7.5 k and a good gold pack. Not a bad deal. The competition wasn't even that difficult. You know how I said earlier it might be smart to build a starting 11 for a league you like in case they roll out more league SBCs? I did that after I thought about it a bit. Since the SBC area has a specific league tab I highly doubt MLS and Liga Nos will be the only two all year. After realizing Jonas and Giovinco were their leagues respective player of the season I looked through other league's player of the season. I was thinking on settling on the J-league or Russian league but the J-league might not get it and Aoyama and Smolov kind of suck (I think Smolov would get picked since hulk bailed). As soon as I saw Aubameyang got player of the season it was a no brainer to make all the Bundesliga starting 11s. It took a bit of time but before I knew it I had a decent starting 11 for all 18 squads and I was only out ~60k. One of two things will happen, at some point I'll get 18 packs + 40k + an Aubameyang card and look like a genius or I'll have lost a few coins and wasted some time. Anyways there's no way a Bayern or Dortmund starting 11 won't be required at some point so I'll have those regardless. I'm thinking about doing it for a middling league like the Superlig as well since SBCs for leagues like those will probably roll out earlier and be cheap. If you've tried to do any of the liga nos or MLS challenges you'll see how annoying, time consuming, and costly it is. I haven't completed one squad in either league and don't plan to. I don't know about anyone else but I've found the 433 variants a bit crappy this year since dribbling sucks and cutting in is difficult. I switched to the 4231(2) and It's much better, I even swing in more crossed with that formation. Oh Also pick up IF Manolas if you can, amazing player for pretty cheap (65k) and if the market is like last year his price will stay pretty high.

Man I'd like to do this too, but I just don't have the time it feels like. $60k seems pretty reasonable to setup 11 players from each team, though I wonder if you'll get screwed on a few of the challenges having a minimum team rating, forcing you to actually bid on expensive BM or Dortmund players... I still might do something like this....A lot of La Liga teams are pretty cheap to put together, and even RM and Barca have a decent amount of 'meh' gold players you could probably build from.

It was probably closer to 90k all told but I made a lot of coins back because I just blanket bid on all the players in my targeted teams and ended up selling all the duplicates for profit. People don't put reasonable bins on a lot of card so there are plenty of cards you can bid on for ~300 and sell for 600+. I wouldn't do that normally because it's boring but I got lucky a lot doing the squads. The upside is I have some cool Bundesliga players to use now. Coman and Xabi Alonso are very good. Modeste is also extremely underrated. Seltzer fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Oct 10, 2016 |

What's your general tactic? are you buying multiple players in same position or just getting one of each? I've been using a 442 setup mostly so getting 2 ST, 2 Central mids, LM, RM, RB, LB, 2 CBs and goalie Also a couple guesses on some marquee matches SBCs - cork vs. Dundalk (1 vs 2) - was posted by someone earlier so prices went mental and people panicked when it didn't come out today. Still think it's a possibility for tomorrow - can probably get players on the cheap now - malmo vs norrkoping (1 v 2) in Swedish league. I bid mass min bids on the second one above - figure if it doesn't then I can sell off for not much of a loss Filthee Fingas fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Oct 10, 2016 |

Holy crap are the bids just crazy right now. I put together a few squads for the 'chemistry is key' challenge and it seems like odd-nationed gold player from a decent league is going for 1500 coins. It's crazy. I tried like three different La Liga teams and two different EPL squads but got priced out so fast I had to stop. Would cost like 10k coins just to complete the squad.

I've been using a 442 setup mostly so getting 2 ST, 2 Central mids, LM, RM, RB, LB, 2 CBs and goalie Remember that chemistry is slightly more lenient (95 chem) for the league SBCs and that all correctly positioned players will be on perfect chem so you can put a few players out of place to not wreck your coins. I have thiagos CM card at ST in my bayern squad for instance because that one was 5k (and I use it in a squad) and the muller and lewandowski cards are crazy high. What I noticed was nearly all the SBCs in MLS and Liga Nos had lm + rm or LW + RW so I always just made a 442 for every squad and then bought one extra central player in case it was a different formation to cover my bases. There were like two bundesliga squads that didnt have wingers so I made normal 4231 squads for them since that's how they arranged the mls and portuguese squads without wingers.

Yeah you pretty much have to act fast to avoid getting price gouged. From doing superlig I just used my gala team which had more than enough different nations in it Did the sterling SBC today - was worth it for me since I already had an untradable otamendi. Ended up getting OTW Stones, yaya and cazorla from the packs plus sterling which made it more than worth it. Not sure pack weights are better through SBC than general packs but have been covering my costs with doing the SBCs and all of them have been worth it coin wise Filthee Fingas fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Oct 10, 2016 |

Natty this is the corner play I was talking about when we were doing Parmos I've only tried it a few times in head to head and it's worked twice already out of less than 10 times. Granted that's not a huge sample but it seems good so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQNUkY6n22o&t=23s Here's a video of me doing it in a match just today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAQ_Tqnx5IU You can see it puts it in a really dangerous area and the goalie doesn't really respond even though maybe he had time so imagine that's my 6'4" monster there instead of Pisczek I don't know how well it works in pro clubs since you can't start the play with the short man already there Here are two more things we could try on corners, I haven't really experimented to see which is better although I have a feeling the near post one is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBZ08N5-8A4&t=12s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHRU0pgdmVw&t=23s Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Oct 11, 2016 |

When I had otamendi, i think i must have spent an additional 40-50k for the rest of the city players. I had loads of english players + BPL players for the other two challenges so all together probably spent around 60-70k? Sold OTW Stones for 55k, Yaya for 67k and Caz for 32k. In the end I was up about 90k + Sterling This is probably your cheapest bet for City team:

Crossing is real good Here is a video on crossing that I generally agree with, although he neglects to mention that like from a similar spot if you have split the defense and have like a 3 on 2 or a 3 on 3 where the defender is leaving the near post to come mark the guy who is crossing, if you can get it to the corner of the box like that then just tapping cross to the guy at the near post (not double tap because you want to get it over the rushing defender) works real well Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Oct 11, 2016 |

BTW I don't want to just do nothing but spam this thread with youtubes but I tried this today and it actually does work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4tT4cNew8s&t=22s If you are trying to be the goalie against a penalty, if a person holds a direction to aim and never changes it, they completely tip off where the kick will go because the player has a tell that shows you the first direction they hit, and the power bar will tell you if it's going low or high You can get around this by starting your kick by aiming up then changing the aim, if you do that no one can read the direction I would wager very few players know this yet but they probably will eventually In the meantime I'm just gonna start every kick the opposite way that I'm doing and that way hopefully I can get some by people trying to do this trick

Mandalay posted:Seltzer, is crossing any good? I'm poo poo with headers so I stuck to a 433 and keep the ball on the ground. Lots of cutting in with the wingers. Yea crossing is great and I think really balanced aside from corners. Every single squad I have with a lone striker this year I require my striker to at least be decent at heading, if not really good. After basically only using the 41212(2) and 433s last year I've found myself gravitating towards the 4231(2) this edition. For whatever reason I find my wingers getting in more crosses and the same amount of runs and the formation allows for very good build up play. Of course that's not to say 433s are bad but cutting in dribbling through players and then scoring is much harder this year so that's where it becomes a downside. I gravitate towards 433s if my wingers are very fast and good at dribbling but maybe not so great at the end product with regards to passing and finishing. The 4231(2) can suit slower wingers with better passing attributes and strength/some defending. That's not to say you can't use different types of wingers in different formations and be successful. Crossing is not nearly as tricky this year, the simple cross will do just fine. Cutting in slightly will give a better cross over just hoofing it while running parallel to the sideline. It's even worth it to completely cut in and cross if the wingers weak foot is different from the side they play. So if you have a right footed winger with a 2* wf on the left wing you would want to really cut in so you can play the cross with your right foot. Aside from that my big takeaway from messing around a lot with crossing is that the power header trait matters massively this year. It always helped but the difference is much more pronounced this year and almost required if your going solely for a targetman + cross set up. You end up scoring literally twice as often with the power header trait if heading accuracy is kept even. It feels like the difference between 50 and 99 shot power. You'll get a lot of deflection goals with the trait, basically none without it. Here, is what I was talking about when I said taking a big angle so certain players can use their better foot. Rusnak (silver with 80+ crossing) is right footed so since I had space I played the cross with his right foot to Havenaar.  Giant throw in is the best trait.  The crossing tutorial Stefan Prodan posted is ok but incredibly situation and too specific imo. You shouldn't limit yourself to that technique. If you have a legit target man timing a good cross to him is way more important than trying to get to a super specific position in order to go back post (also most good defenders will muscle you out or be in a position to deflect a cross from the byline position. Havenaar will bury 75% of headers off a decent cross regardless of his position in front of goal if you know where to aim. As you can see in the first .gif he's marked in front of goal but since the run and cross are good it doesn't matter. He's 6'4 with 80 jumping + power header. I can't stop winning with my stupid gimmick squad. I'll drop it in divisions as soon as I start going 50-50 with it, but I'm not there yet.  There are plenty of good gold target fowards as well obviously. Modeste is a good cheap option
