Had tried Mbappe and Suker again today. But both just lacked that killer touch for goals.
Cue Puskas. You can see why he’s 1.8mill.
Suker was scoring all around for me but it was maybe 1 goal in 2 shots,
Puskas is quite simply a goal machine. Once he’s in range it’s a goal. Plus his movement is far better than Sukers. But it would want to be at 2.5 times the price.
Apart from him, Varane and Ter Stegen the rest of my team is untradeable.

Puskas is really good but dont depend on his right foot all that much 🀣🀣 his left is a guranteed goal.

He’s amazing I’m finding.
Just played an extremely tight game where we both have similar teams and he has Mbappe.
2-2 and both Mbappe and Puskas are slicing through the teams.
I’m thinking this will go where once of us will collapse and Puskas helps me.
Lays on Valderne to score and then as he’s moving into the box my opponent hacks him down outside the box.
Puskas scores from the free kick and its game over.
I find he instinctively moved to left of goal and it’s a huge advantage of Suker who moves right even with instructions.

Van Berghen is the best RW I've used, incredible finishing. That Felix card is so irritating to play against, seems to just run through perfect tackles which is infuriating. Playing against some very very expensive teams in every game so far this WL

Anyone on next gen finding the player switching very slow and temperamental?

I know player switching has always been a point of contention but it feels like it needs tweaking on PS5.

Also, players feel like they are running around on ice skates especially when stopping or turning?

Visually it’s a huge step up from PS4, but gameplay wise it feels like it has gone backwards with the PS4 gameplay being better at the moment.

Just had the most frustrating morning playing WL. Won about half the games I played but Jesus is this game in trouble. Every game a ****show.

It's just not a fun way to spend a weekend.

Done Felix and Herrera. Both well worth it.

Played against TOTGS Gomez last night, got ripped to pieces. He's an absolute nightmare to defend against.

Even his base card is ridiculously op. Miles better than Dybala or Mertens. Loved using him in my Serie a team.

9-3 for WL at the moment.
Puskas has played 4 scored 9 with 10 rating in every single match so far.
I’d convert him to untradeable right now if I could to stop me squandering coins trying out players.

Bloody base Nick Pope again, just clawed a 2-1 win out there and he was unbelievable, i had 23 shots and he made about 16 proper saves, while Allison the other end played like a sunday league keeper after a saturday night out

Is pope really better than Allison I have both but never thought of starting pope

Mbappe down to 1.1m (was 1.4m when I was checked a few days ago), Neymar down to 780K, Ronaldo down to 1.3m...nearly 1.2 - maybe he's staying higher because of PotM Felix.

Noticed the same kind of thing last year, top tier played nose dived in the first week of December. Neymar dropped by 400K a couple of days after I bought him.

Is it because of TOTGS and TOTY around the corner?

AdamD

I'm finding the gameplay to be better on ps5, just seems smoother.

v3ttel

Any thoughts on which is better? Both cost more or less the same for me. Ignore chem - can start with a different formation that gives every player full chem, except one.





First one looks a bit better to me, but the second one might be a bit more balanced. I don't know if Sanches and Bruno would be too open in CM. Nice to have 4 players in attack with5 star skills. Back line of the first one looks a nice bit stronger.

Gelson Martins has to be the best player who costs 2K or or less.

First team is the better of the two, IMO. My only concern is the same as yours, the openness of the central midfield pairing, but a lot will come down to your playing style and overall I much prefer team one.

Hes not even close to allison on their attributes, but i dont know what it is, any time i play against him, hes practically unbeatable, Allison in any game is worse then his attributes suggests, honestly if i wasnt a liverpool fan, i wouldnt have him near my team

the thing is midfield is so easy to bypass anyways its not really gonna make a diff just have bruno on balanced and renato stay back man mark and it'll be fine, my problem is rashford and gedson are gonna annoy you in teh final 3rd with their passing imo.

if you can id go in form carrasco instead of rashford with felix in the first one, and get inform valverde and i think thats a solid af team. then potm bamba mbappe renato on right side, just get inform bamba if you cant do the potm, 5* not as important as they were earlier in the game now and you'll still have 2 of them anyways. passing will still annoy you but i think overall is better.

Even in the streaming I’ve seen Pope a number of times already.

BrentMused

Pope this year seems to be the Butland of a few years ago. Pros used him all year that year even though his card was nowhere near the top keepers.

I haven't used Pope as Ederson has been excellent all year for me, but another one to try lads, and I came across him by accident when making my 77 rated squad for the Bellerin objectives, is Kalinic at Villa. He's 6 foot 7 and it appears height is a key attribute in determining how good a keeper will be in FIFA.

I'm not suggesting he's at the level of the top keepers, but he's far better than his 75 rated card would indicate and has bailed me out more than a few times!

Osmosis Jones

Pope wasn't used at all until a week or two ago, and it's entirely just because some young pro fifa lad has been using him. Really it doesn't matter who your keeper is, they're all gonna make some big saves and have some blunders, the game is played with the players you can control.

Osmosis Jones

Knew I wouldn't regret putting a Hunter on my LB

Felix is well worth it!! Really enjoying him so far.

Bought Neymar for 775k just an hour ago.

Back to 870k now...


Prices very unpredictable.

Madness. 300k for it... even as a Liverpool fan, I can’t bring myself to do it. Would’ve slotted in perfectly at CM but not for 300k.

Closer to 400k on PS4, it’s terrible how they’ve destroyed the game so much

RedRochey

How do they think an 85 rated player is worth 2 86 rated squads and an 84 squad it's not dynamic either :rolleyes:

Would love to do him but futbin has him down as over 400k

Osmosis Jones

I'd love that Ox but that price is pathetic, shouldn't be more than half of that

Just an hour lol.

So it's two hours of "watching" to get an untradeable 7.5k pack after a month or two...

Have better things to do tbh. I mean better things to waste my phone battery in.

I know it's free, but it's just a bit too much.

Osmosis Jones

Also where the fcuk are the Icon SBCs? We've had 2 batches of them in over 3 weeks now.

I mean, I was just answering the guy’s question...

Lord TSC

I think with the high SBC prices, it's an attempt to make people absolutely rinse their clubs ahead of icon swaps.

Remember than Icon Swaps require a LOT of first owner cards. So, rinse clubs out now, and force pack opening with Icon Swaps over Christmas.

Osmosis Jones

Just had a look at the Storyline Ox we got last year, we got him in season 2 so same time as last year, stats are almost identical but it's 450k vs free

11-4 so far.
My best start since fifa 19 on pc.
Puskas 18 goals from 7 games. Incredible form really. Basically having the guy is being a goal ahead from kick off.
I’m tempted to see how far I can go but the thoughts of playing 15 more games isn’t really appealing
But then I get to do this with him though.
Sorry trimming doesn’t work.

Don’t know what it is this weekend... I cannot buy a win at all. I’ve played about 22 rivals games and I’d say I’ve won maybe 5. Started off the weekend at 16 draws and I’m up at 24 draws now... so many defensive mistakes or I can’t attack. Felt the previous gen was a lot smoother.

Parawind

Played through all my WL games today and ended up with only 17 wins. Lost 3 penalty shootouts but it was a real slog.

Alessandrini was in every bloody team (seriously not an exaggeration), he's completely cracked, far and away the best winger in the game. Typical that its one of the few SBC that I didn't do and now there is no way to get him.

He has 90+ Acceleration, Sprint Speed, Balance & Agility and 86 Aggression. There isn't even a prime icon with those stats.

I think I need to make big changes to my squad. Think I'll sell CR7 and Luis Figo and look for an icon that will make a real difference.

Really coming up against some strong players in my last 5 matches. Only at 12-7 now.
For the first time ever I’m using various formations to counter the other team and it’s helped me immensely against players who started off strong against me.
But now I’m seeing players also doing the same to me and it’s far tougher and down to who is the better player overall.
In these matches Puskas is really carrying my team.
Alessandrini is only a passenger in most matches I find but I’m not good enough to get the best out of him obviously.

What position are you normally playing him in? I found he was far less effective against me in a central role. Playing him wide right he was super effective.

That’s where I was playing him:
I supposed I’m not really utilising him that much as I’m focussed on getting the ball to Puskas.

I'd say use him as the way to get the ball to Puskas in more space. If you dribble with him from a deeper position he just walks past people.

Out of interest, what formations are you using to counter? I’ve always seen pros do it but never know what counters what and how they set up for it.

Any suggestions for a Premier League box-to-box midfielder/second CDM to play alongside Kante in a 4-2-3-1 guys? Neymar gets subbed on as my CAM.

Currently using Allan on balanced and whilst his defensive work is excellent, offensively he’s not up to scratch.

De Bruyne would hardly work in that role would he?

Apart from that the options are probably Wijnaldum or Pogba I guess?
