this game is loving hard as hell this year jesus christ. mp i mean. I placed into div 5 after going 2 wins 2 losses 1 draw in placements (i forgot that even clicking on my other monitor will automatically DC me and give me a loss on PC now so that counts for one of those) and i'm 1w-2l in div 5 so far. The divisions system is of course VERY different now so I'm not sure what early game div5 now would have been in previous years but gently caress me I'm really struggling to score so far.

 you just click the fifa points (there's the little green 100 and coins and a red + sign underneath coin totals in my pic) and it opens a page to buy points. Same place its always been, so idk what that website is smoking e: maybe the article inevitably written by someone who has no idea what any of this stuff even is is confusing the web "app" which is just a webpage with the mobile app, which is actually an app, and maybe you can't buy fifa points on there? hopterque fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Sep 23, 2018 |

holy poo poo this bug where your player decides to take finesse shots for no reason is loving annoying and potentially/probably cost me two games today. Nothing better than powering one up to really nail into the far corner or near post or from distance or whatever and your guy just goes "hmm, actually..." and side foots it softly right at the keeper.

I’m really tempted to buy the champion’s edition. they're dogshit, they have value for the first couple of weeks but any sort of half involved play (like, if you do squad battles weekly and get gold 1) will render them obsolete extremely quickly.

The Kingfish posted:Is there a good resource for figuring out which SBCs are worth doing? This is the first year I’ve tried to actually build a respectable FUT team. all the starter ones are worth doing, up to and through league and nation hybrids, because they're cheap and give decent packs and packing even a half decent player from one pack can make you your money back for the whole set.

Seltzer posted:I'm still a big advocate for Zaza and I think anyone trying a 433 should use him but I was waiting on and hoping for Mandzukic to get an IF to replace Zaza. What Mandzukic lacks in some pace and flair compared to zaza he makes up for with the power header trait + height, top top finishing, respectable passing and the x factor of having defensive capabilities upfield (which is extremely underrated). I'm gonna put engine on him and start whipping some serious crosses in. They both have the awesome strength and aggression combo but IF mandzukic is just too good atm. Hopefully Zaza gets an IF soon. Since we have like the same fifa brain I decided to switch to a serie a team and try IF mandzukic, big surprise, he's a drat beast. Here's the squad I put together for now https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/424020 Also, Mr Payday, the Lucas you have on your squad is the loan player, I'm guessing you know that but he'll only last 20 games. His 'real' sbc set is pretty affordable and doable, especially for what is right now a top tier RM in the game. e: I'd also say he'll remain a good option at that position the entire year, I didn't get a better bpl RM than that until like post TOTS hopterque fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Oct 4, 2018 |

I went 17-13 for the weekend, which I'm pretty happy with considering that I'm still feeling pretty uncomfortable with the game in a lot of ways (especially shooting aside from finesse situations). Mandzukic is a dang beast for me, I liked him so much that I rebuilt my other squad so I could use Cavani since I loved him in previous games and he's a similar type of player, and he's been brilliant as well. Mandzukic and Cavani are both right around 1 goal and .5+ assists per game for me, which is saying something considering I'm having trouble scoring reliably. Here's my two squads, I run the same tactics on both of them, copied more or less from the german pro DrEhano (but with my own formation choices for a couple of them). My 5 formations are 4-2-3-1, 4-2-2-2, the stock 4-4-2, a 4-3-3 (4) with the cam and two CMs, and my all out attacking formation is a 4-2-4

I'd rather they take a bit more time to actually improve stuff with the first major patch than set the game back a year again.

I'm selling Big Ron. He was great but having one insane player on an otherwise pretty good team isn't really my style, and I can use part of the money to improve my bpl team and part of it to build a very nice bundesliga/la liga hybrid and part of it to invest. his stats from 9 games of weekend league. Inflated because I scored 5 in my first game with him (Not actually on purpose, he's just very good) but not really doing much more for me than lewandowski did or Aubameyang is doing.

Finished at gold 1 again this week with one game left, 20-9. Sold my Ronnie for 2.9 million, built this team from the money, bought some cheap OTW players to see what happens, tried Pogba out (he's good, but not worth 600k).  Lewa as has already been discussed is insane but Griezmann is also loving incredible.

The only way to get better is play more and long for death. I had a hell of a time adjusting this year and spent the first couple of weeks struggling to score even one or two goals a game, but now things are pretty much back to normal and i reliably score 3-4+ a game. Oh also I tried out Neuer with the squad linked above but immediately replaced him because he cost me a game by rushing out like he likes to do IRL without any input from me and giving up easy chips to my opponent.
