    Just bought 30 contracts, 28 games, and they have disappeared, coins taken but no contracts

    As for formations, still using the fifa analysts 532 from fifa 21 with some alterations from me, still works very well

    I had told myself I wasn't going to bother with IF trading this year.


    But IF Elyounoussi is going at discard. An 81 rated PL player at discard is literally the safest investment anyone is going to make this year. I'm genuinely tempted to pump all 700k in my coin pile into him....


    EDIT: Ah, here. Hause is also gettable at discard, and he's bloody English too. Smith Rowe too. That's nearly printing money if you've got some patience...



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    What would you expect these guys to rise to in the coming months?

    I purchased a lot of Azpilicueta's at around 13k last week which seemed way to good to be true.

    My only worry is that so many people are getting the TOTW packs from Champs rewards now, which were unachievable for most last year (myself included). Also, the drop rate for IF's in packs seems hugely buffed this year too.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    They'll go up the second a decent SBC drops. That's the nature of IF trading.


    The Ronaldo POTM SBC was so expensive that it really didn't dent anything, and there's not really been a solid PL player SBC yet, but if an SBC drops for a more achievable, popular player, the prices will go up. I actually think Azp (85 rated, Pl and Spanish) for 13k will be a phenomenal investment. He's so easy to link and has a great rating. One or two decent SBCs and he'll clear 20k easily. A bit like I mentioned about Maguire yesterday, he's the type of player they'll put into SBC solutions.


    They might not go up to the 30k mark, but that's also why I stay around discards. If they don't jump, you'll get 99% of your coins back.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    I usually get a 2 goal lead and switch back to 4231 to play a possession, slow build up or counter attacking game. Going well so far for me!



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec



    This is where I'm at at the moment. Need to find a replacement for Saul cause he's not great. Azpilicueta and Digne are also wrecking my head, and Chiellini is too slow now.

    Any recommendations?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Don't know what your chemistry situation or budget is, but Koulibaly or even Skriniar would be a huge upgrade on Chellini.

    Theo Hernandez at LB.

    If you're using OTW Locatelli as a purely defensive CM, gold Kessie would be better for a few thousand coins.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    There are some great full backs in the Serie A that are far better than those 2. Spinazzola and Lazzari for instance!



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Chemistry is ~85-90 if I remember right. I have Skriniar on the bench, drops the chem a bit but probably worth dropping him in anyway.

    I have Locatelli on defensive yes, he drops back between defenders.

    I have about 150k in coins, but probably about another 50k in fodder sitting there too.

    Yea I think I'm going to pick them up. Azpilicueta gasses really early and Digne is just not great.


    Any recommendations on replacements for Saul? I have Kroos but he's too slow and kills the chem.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Up in division 2 at the minute and have a m8 telling me the horrors he is facing every game in the elite division.


    I think my plan is to win a few and then before reaching promotion just quit out of a few.....pretty much just stay in division 2

    This looks good for only 24k. Fred can be replaced with Fabinho if you prefer the height.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,757 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    At this point I've stopped trading fodder. Its been on the floor so long, whilst it should go up, taking this long is just hurting my club as the top players are rising at a higher rate.


    Having more joy trading usable players that look undervalued e.g. picked up a few IF Tchoumanénis when he was 10k. Got a few Gravenberch's for cheap too, he might be a bit riskier but his card looks ridiculous and Ajax have a decent chance of qualifying for the knock outs. Cards also seem to fluctuate quite a bit throughout the day, you can pick up most cards a lot cheaper in the morning than the evening.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,468 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    I find that slow build up is way too negative for me. I love free attacking football so switched all of his formations to use long ball instead of it. Makes a massive difference and I've jumped up 2 divs now to 5 where I was seriously struggling in Div 7 to put wins together.

    Thinking I might now get Van Dijk and Kante for my squad now as I feel they'd be more of an upgrade over Di Natale when I already have Mbappe as ST.

    Can bring in De Light and work him in too to strength up the defence if needed.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,327 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused



    Honestly I think I'd just switch completely to some form of Serie A squad and for the coins you have you could put something lovely together.

    Normal Koulibaly is 10k and arguably the best gold CB in the game right now. Kessie is 3.7k and miles better than OTW Locatelli, gold Barella is 2k and much better than OTW Saul. I've used Sancho a bit as I packed him early on and have found Chiesa (2.4k) to be way better as another example.

    Casemiro could be used to get Vinicius in on 9 chem.

    Something like the below maybe? Everyone on full chem. Have Casemiro as CDM in game, Barella box to box, Dybala CAM.

    You're looking at about 70k due to the cost of Dybala and Casemiro:

  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Good shout, I'll take a look at that. A lot of my current better players are untradeable unfortunately.

    On the question of tactics, is there a way to set it so that certain players go to certain positions when you change game plan? Like when I go from Balanced (4-2-3-1), where KDB plays as the CAM, to Attacking (4-3-2-1) where I want KDB on the left of the 3, is there a way to set that?

    By default it puts Sancho on the left of the 3 and KDB in the RW/RF slot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,327 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus



    yes,

    goto tactics, change mentality, then in formation edit positioning.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Yep that's possible.

    If you go to the custom tactics, select the situation you want (e.g. attacking, ultra attacking etc), then go across to player instructions. If you press triangle on PS or Y on Xbox, you can move them around to be in the positions you want.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    I can do this in the squad menu outside of a match?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,327 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    that looks good and if you want to upgrade a few of the positions you could go IF barrella maybe, or try immobile instead of martinez (he isnt expensive), TOTW Felipe Andersen is good on the right aswell.

    Deffo an upgrade on the current team.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,327 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    yes exactly, so set your various options for formation in the 4 slots and within there you can move the players around,

    most peoples starting 11 isnt where they line up its just for chem.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    Is Bruno **** lads? His card is tanking big time on PS <90k right now. Wondering is it a permanent repricing of him or just one of those dips.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Lads can i play Champions playoffs today?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,468 ✭✭✭✭Blazer




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Yep you can, you can play any day during the week apart from if you are competing in FUT Champs during the weekend (until you finish your 20 games).

    Good thing about trying on Monday is there's plenty of time to build up another 1500 for another stab at it during the week if you fail to qualify (although be mindful there's a limit on the amount of entries you have per season).

  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    If you're someone who isn't going to get the 1500 points in the space of 3/4 days every week then I'd say play the qualifiers at the weekend when you aren't in the WL, since all the best players should be unavailable for qualifier games?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,437 ✭✭✭Josey Wales



    What does the term "discard" mean in this context?



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    team of the week cards can be quick sold for 9900 coins. So if you can get a card for round that price, if he turns out to be an awful investment, you can discard him vis quick sale to get most of your coins back. Makes it a very safe long term investment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    Did a rake of those player picks packs…..all trash 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,222 ✭✭✭Calvin


    RTTK Isak for me out of the first two… next 5 were awful so I’ve stopped there. My club is dwindling quickly.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    So sick of my back line looking like this, half the goals I concede are due to one defender inexplicably playing everyone onside by 10 yards.





  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Took your advice @BrentMused, with a few variations:





  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    5-1 in the playoffs and gave the last 3 away.

    Again started 0-1 after conceding a last minute winner, but knuckled down and got it together. It was an Irish bloke with the St Pats jersey with a squad called Larkview who beat me if it was anyone on here? 🙂

    There's no way ELO is in use for the playoffs and again I'm convinced matchmaking for same is completely random.

    Getting a lot better at being patient in the final third and observing the movement of the attackers. I've always struggled with that and keeping an eye on the ball carrier at the same time so I'm really working on that.

    Absolutely loving RTTK Vidal and RTTK Tonali. Vidal is the definition of a proper box-to-box midfielder and Tonali is a brilliant CDM. The advantage a CDM with good passing gives is so valuable. Tonali won't get an upgrade but Vidal has a shot at at least one so I'll be a big Inter fan for the next few weeks! 😅

    On another note, I've given away about 12-15 wins in the last week or so and have received one message saying thanks. I know it's up to me if I want to do it, but come on, it takes 30 seconds to send a quick message to say thank you. 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    It's a bit crap not to say thanks. Literally takes a few seconds. I've actually turned on my messages again just I can message people who give away free wins.

    Will Tonali convert to a Europa League card if they finish third in the group? Presume not, and there will be a RTTF promo again at some stage.

    Looks like a very nice team now.

    I've ripped up my team after the WL. Went 11-9, worst one I've ever had by a million miles. Dropped so many games where I had double or triple my opponents xG but they seemed to score every attack. Decided to plough all my money into the back line for a change.

    Finally had a bit of luck and picked up Red Theo Hernandez from my rewards. Literally he's going for 10 times the most valuable player I've packed in the hundreds of packs I've opened so far. I thought I'd hate Lautaro Martinez, but he's scored 6 in 4 games so far. Not sure about Chucky Lozano. He doesn't feel responsive on the ball at all, and having a three star left foot is not ideal.

    I'll upgrade Barella to IF Barella, Vidal or Tonali at some point. Might also go for IF Felipe Anderson instead of Chiesa. I would love to try out Diego Milito too, but he's 200K and I've no coins left.

    In game looks like the above, but start with 4-3-2-1 on full chem.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Always send a heart emoji to people giving away wins. If only to encourage them to keep doing it long term.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,327 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    What's the quickest way to send a message ?



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I think hes decent. I sold Pogba again a few days ago as hes just too clunky and when you're getting constant button delay hes even worse.

    Granted I used him as a CDM for a while but in the end he had like 8 goals and 3 assists in 60 odd games.

    Bruno(while CAM mainly) had multiples of that.

    The prices for most players on Xbox are dropping rapidly. I bought Werner for like 30 or 40k and sold him two week later for half of that.

    At this stage most people are working towards the 200k+ players.

    My next upgrade is Varane.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,327 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    Apparently the Bruno price crash is related to the fekir sbc who knows though.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Nice man, that looks great and very similar to what I was running up to this week. Really balanced. Just watch out for Spinazzola as he is actually right footed, so if you get your full backs forward a lot he can let you down on the crossing. Theo Hernandez is amazing for me at LB if you're looking for your next upgrade 🙂

    Have you tried it out yet?

    I use the PS app on my phone and find it way quicker than using the console.

    Unfortunately not. I believe once the Champions League group is done the potential for those RTTK cards to upgrade is done. Either way Tonali is still worth it IMO.

    Agree on Lautaro. I was expecting that he wouldn't be all that great but I've had him since almost the beginning and have found him to be really effective. He just seems to be in the right place at the times for me and his shot power is excellent. He definitely outplays his stats.

    You should try Insigne for Lozano. I really like him on the left.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    I actually have Hernandez in my club, might try him.

    I tried it out once and got pumped 4-0, but I was also messing a bit trying to figure out what each player can do. Also trying to learn a few of the basic skill moves. 4-0 makes it sound worse than it was, he scored 2 goals in the 1st 10 mins and 2 in the last 10 mins and in between I controlled the game.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Hernandez is so, so good. He's easily a top 3 LB in the game aside from Icons.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Ah hold on, wrong Hernandez. I have the other brother, the one who plays for Bayern.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    Thinking about selling Pogba too, only bought him half way through the WL but can’t figure out if I prefer gold Ndombele to him for his H/H workrate. I play him in the middle of a 5-3-2 but need those French Prem links!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,570 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    This is the exact decision I am trying to make. Do Fekir for "free" with some of the fodder I've invested in cheap. Or just buy Bruno for 80k and will at least get 30k or so back for him later in the game when he needs to be upgraded.

    I'm going to wait until Friday anyway after Betis have played their next game to make a call on it. Good chance their last game could mean nothing as well so less likely of both upgrades.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused


    Opinion on Pogba is really split this year but I don't like him at all.

    In fairness I've only tried him sparingly, but he doesn't really suit my style of play.

    I think if you're a skiller or someone who plays a more slower build up style and looks to utilize his passing and shots outside the box he's ideal, but for someone like me who plays a direct, fast, counter attacking style he's a bit too clunky.

    If he was untradeable I'd sell him in a heartbeat.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Played 4 this morning, hammered in 2 and drew 2. Just can't pick up a win at the moment. Starting to come up against some serious teams too.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,437 ✭✭✭Josey Wales


    Has anyone used Leon Goretzka? I’ve played against teams recently with him and he has been so hard to get around. And he seems to contribute in attack too.

    I'm thinking he could finally replace Tielemans who had been in my team since week one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Not good enough to qualify for WL, got to the last spot before qualification, but didnt deserve to qualify, conceding goals from those ball deflections, jockey, press to win ball, deflects to striker who scores, doing everything "right" but it still deflects



  • Administrators Posts: 54,172 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Has anyone got anything decent from the 75+ player pick SBC?

    I've done it 4 or 5 times and just got dross. Yet another Coates card.
