Was in division 7 aswell lol
I am too badRossi
You are not alone
Those daily tournaments can be really difficult to win. I've found it harder to qualify through them than get Gold 3 to automatically qualify.
I have the same problems with finishing but a few tips that helped me: shoot across the keepers body when possible. always use a driven finish when inside the box (make sure not to underpower the shot).
A couple of other things that work well for me: subbing on players like Giovinco, Cuadrado, Insigne that are fast and agile running at tired defenders late in games is often the difference between a win and a loss. During games where the opponent is totally dominating and your always losing possession very quickly, slow down the play. Just try to put 5 or 10 passes together even if you don't advance the ball very far. It takes control of the game back and you'll often find you create a chance just by doing that.0 -
Wooo, got elite for the week! 29 wins with 1 game remaining.
Elite for the week and elite for the month.....5 weekends worth of learning and grinding coming together right there. I can't wait to open that TOTW pack with 3 tradeable IFs!
until you open it and there's 3 x IFs rated 80 or something

This I find very interesting and I have changed my strategy to do something similar as I would have never put on a sub during a game.A couple of other things that work well for me: subbing on players like Giovinco, Cuadrado, Insigne that are fast and agile running at tired defenders late in games is often the difference between a win and a loss.
I play 433(4) and have now start with a sub LW or RW / ST and CAM on the bench after reading all about the momentum stuff. If I find that players are missing a few chances I sub in a replacement in the second half. In the short time that I have been doing it the results have surprised me. On 2 occasions I have subbed on Batshuayi on for Lukaku. First time after 70 minutes and he scored the winner in the 80th, 2nd time in a 0-0 draw I subbed him on in the first half of extra time, he headed the winner in the 120th minute
I have done some other things as well and my results have improved significantly. Firstly I have changed my teams up with a few fresh players. Secondly I have changed my style slightly. I tended to start the game on Ultra D. I had pressure at about 60 and aggression at about 80.I often would dominate the game like Rossi above and still lose. I noticed that a very high percentage of goals arise from losing possession in your own half particularly high pressure opponents.
So now I try and ensure that I get the ball out the sides and up the wings to the RW/LW as quickly as possible ( often using the driven pass ) to limit the exposure and build from there.
The reason I was going Ultra D was to prevent counter attacks. Now I just go defensive and have changed my pressure to 85 and aggression to 95. I get more turnovers in dangerous areas and consequently goals and I while my defensive line don't sit back nearly as deeply as previously I am still not conceding counter attack goals.
45th / 90th minute, foul, waste time, whatever I need to do to keep them away from my goal
Since I changed I played 8 games and only lost one. That was in the final of the daily tournament, first time I had ever gotten to it with a gold team. I was beaten by a better player, good skiller, he deserved the win. In Div 4 I had 2 losses before I changed my tactics, since then 3 wins.
Just wondering how long this will last before it all goes to pot again

Definitely fresh players make a massive difference. The amount of times I've subbed on Giovinco and my opponents just can't track his movement because of his agility with their tiring Smalling, Bailly, Barzagli, Bonucci.I tended to start the game on Ultra D. I had pressure at about 60 and aggression at about 80.I often would dominate the game like Rossi above and still lose. I noticed that a very high percentage of goals arise from losing possession in your own half particularly high pressure opponents.
The thing with high pressure is that you will dominate the game and your opponent will definitely struggle to get out of his own half or keep the ball at the times, but you are leaving so much space in behind with values like that, that the few times they will create a chance, it's likely to be a very good one unless you are ridiculously good defensively.
It's a risk vs reward thing. I tried super high pressure a few weeks ago and it just didn't work for me. Decent players will get around it, and even a poor enough player will manage to get around it once or twice per game.
I went through a period of 7 or 8 games where it worked for me and I conceded very few, but then I had to abandon it after a few weekend league games because it just wasn't working. I still have tonnes of games where I have loads of chances, loads of shots, and my opponent will have 1 or 2 and score. It's just part of FIFA.So now I try and ensure that I get the ball out the sides and up the wings to the RW/LW as quickly as possible ( often using the driven pass ) to limit the exposure and build from there.
I had a similar strategy for FIFA 16. I played 4-3-3(4) and used wing play a lot. If you lose the ball on the wing, then it's less likely to be instantly dangerous. I just couldn't win consistently with that formation and cut teams open like last year.
I found 4-3-3(2) to be the most effective variant of it this year. I'd say give 4-1-2-1-2(2) a try. It takes a lot of getting used to, but there is a reason all the pro players use it. It's good going forward once you start to understand the patterns, it's very good for applying high pressure at the right times, but you can fall back to a very solid defensive setup when they breakthrough that.0
