Same here but I'm only checking on the mobile app. Haven't turned on the PS5 to check. I'm hoping they'll be waiting for me when I log back in.

left the stream running but only got the first reward, says I didn’t watch long enough for the token 🙄

I thought the same, turned on the console this morning, but nothing....

I checked my phone again and the rewards have appeared.

mutley18 · 22-10-2021 1:05pm

So does 88 Sane have the potential to reach 90 if Bayern dont capitulate in the Champions League? I wonder has his price already reflected that or will he rise more.

Rock Lesnar · 22-10-2021 1:22pm

Just played a match where my opponent had Maximin and Adama Traore on the wings, Maximin 28 in defense awareness, Traore 37, they were incredible ai defensively, tracked every run while my opponent controlled the CDM, my wingers Jota and Raphina are set to come back and defend to but dont, no idea what im doing wrong.

On the plus side, Konate is a beast at corners, 4 in 4, at least i can manage heading at corners 😄

he's actually dropped about 100k since his launch. I can definitely see him hitting 90 but in fairness i love his card...I've hated it always but on the right side he's lethal when he cuts in and shoots from his left first in fifa 22. I think the only card that will replace him down the line will be Salah.

I think I will purchase, love his normal card and my team is Bundesliga.

Blazer · 22-10-2021 2:00pm

I was lucky I got him from the 75+ pack..I was cursing as I just settled on a spanish/Mbappe/Serie A team and loved the defense , then gets him 5 mins later and have to rip up the team again :D

Rock Lesnar · 22-10-2021 2:43pm

Im back, 2 wins from 2 in FUT playoffs, using liverpool false 9 formation, everybody on balance except Raphina and Jota, won my last match 2-1 after ET, i had 256 passes to 47 😄

Josey Wales · 22-10-2021 2:44pm

What tactic are you using at corners? I'm in Div 4 right now and it's at the point where I have a corner and that means the opponent has about a 70% chance of scoring on the counter. It's happened at least once in the last five matches.

In the tactics menu I have players in the box for corners set to the minimum.

Rock Lesnar · 22-10-2021 2:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118058087#Comment_118058087

For me, im on 3, i user Konate and have to make sure i get to the ball 1st cos hes 6'4, if i dont im probably open to a counter but to be fair, despite conceding every other way, i dont think iv'e conceded from a counter yet

Frisbee · 22-10-2021 3:15pm

I know chemistry tends not to mean anything with the better players. e.g. Neymar on 6 chem is still going to be better than most players on 10 chem. But played a Silver Lounge game last night where my opponent had a team on 45 chemistry whereas mine was 100 with everyone on 10 and he absolutely battered me. He wasn't a good player either. Every pass I made went straight to one of his players, every rebound the same. Every tackle I made he just ran through me. And at the end his 36 Pace CB from a standing start ran down probably a 7-8 yards gap my 96 pace striker had on him when through on goal and won the ball back.

This game is so frustrating when you see stuff like that.

If your opponent gets a clean ball off your corner (i.e. they clear the ball out of the box and it lands to one of their players) you have to foul or you're going to get countered.

Even on minimal corners you will get countered, especially if they have pacy forwards.

BrentMused · 22-10-2021 4:49pm

Played to 8 wins after only planning on going to 4, and then gave the last few away.

Went 8-7 and found it really tough going. 3 wins in ET (I also lost one in ET) and a win on penalties. Red Raphinha from last week's picks coming off the bench as a CAM at the start of ET single handedly won me each of those ET games.

Gnabry and Chilwell from the reds.

Opened the Jumbo Rare Players Pack and out comes RTTK Robertson!

I'll keep the TOTW pack as Szczesny is the only one I'd want and he's only ~30k to buy on the market anyway.

"Watched" it for an hour last night to 70 odd % and the "watched" at least an hour this morning on the repeat where it said rewards available and it's still on the same %

Blazer · 22-10-2021 5:32pm

For anyone struggling try out Auzuo’s 442 tactics. I’m just ripping teams apart and scoring for fun.

Benzema is kicking butt for me.

Calvin · 22-10-2021 5:55pm

Really wish we could edit player positioning on corners… for some reason, George Best is always near post/in the 6 yard box whilst Haaland is outside the box.

2-2 anyway in champs, coming up against a surprising number of god squads, which is challenging but enjoying it.

Lord TSC · 22-10-2021 5:56pm

RTTK Fred :D

Lord TSC · 22-10-2021 8:37pm

Man, that Silva SBC looks interesting. 88 rated, but will 100% get at least one upgrade, if not two. Might be a decent one for fodder?

callaway92 · 22-10-2021 8:58pm

My god this game is pace/skill fest. It’s very, very arcadey compared to PES and is in no way realistic.

Enjoying it though but Jesus it’s a joke how quick and ping-pong the matches are.

Sudden Valley · 22-10-2021 9:17pm

The qualifiers/playoffs make no sense. Qualified barely at 5-4 but then in second match of FUT champs I beat someone 8-1 so wondering how he got 5 wins in qualifiers.

Gyan84 · 22-10-2021 9:21pm

Ended up going 4-5 in qualifiers again. Rapidly losing interest in the game now. Squad battles is too much of a grind now, leaving rivals with crap rewards the only game mode that interests me.

They're also releasing high rated cards way too quickly. We already have Werner, Bernardo, Reus, De Jong and Sane cards that could be above 90 rated in a few weeks and that's not including the two or three other promos that'll come by the end of the group stage.

v3ttel · 22-10-2021 9:25pm

Limped through the qualifiers at 5-4. Got a gifted win to seal qualification.

Sold off most of my team - just find that my attacking players are not clinical enough (though maybe I'm just terrible at finishing). Did the Fekir SBC last night, so might try the following (starting 4-3-2-1 so all on full chem).

Could also bring in Bruno for Tchouamenu and Rashford for Coman at some stage, but worried that a midfield two of Pogba and Bruno would be too open.

mutley18 · 22-10-2021 9:48pm

If I play qualifiers now and somehow fluke qualifying can I then wait until next weekend to play champs? Or does it have to be this weekend? Too busy this weekend for 20 games!

Blazer · 22-10-2021 10:00pm

Nope. Once you even start one game you’re in for this weekend.

Bunny Colvin · 22-10-2021 10:15pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118060228#Comment_118060228

Think he means the playoffs. Fairly sure if you qualify then you can redeem it for any weekend you want?

mutley18 · 22-10-2021 10:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118060319#Comment_118060319

Yeah thats what I mean, can I just try and qualify and if successful leave playing any Champs until next weekend.

Calvin · 22-10-2021 11:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118060376#Comment_118060376

Yeah you can, I did it last week and kept it for this week.

v3ttel · 23-10-2021 1:05am

Went with most of the team above using Auzio's 4-4-2 but Dembele, Rashford, RTTK Fekir and Martial as my front four. They are on a different planet to Martinez, Dybala, Chiesa & Insigne. Have scored 16 goals in 3 games, and that included two rage quits. I've gone from missing most of my chances to converting most of my xG. Pogba feels a bit clunky but his passing is a god send. Definitely giving up less counters due to stupid misplaced passes.

The only problem is that my defense feels way too open. Upamecano feels like a liability, and Pogba's medium defensive work rates are an issue. Being countered from corners is a huge problem still too. Not sure how to deal with that.

Calvin · 23-10-2021 2:06am

Got to rank 3 in the end… Ginter and the Argentine ST for my efforts. Got that RTTK El Shaarawy tho from the 100k pack, so that was nice. Will hold the TOTW pack for a better TOTW… nice to have all the WL games done, pretty stress-free in the end as well barring a handful of games.

Giggsy_ · 23-10-2021 4:30am

Started the WL 2-2 only to lose the next six on the bounce to end the first ten games at 2-8

I need to learn to switch the game off, played the last 3 games on absolute tilt which probably didn’t help matters

Probably play the last ten on Sunday Night

Rock Lesnar · 23-10-2021 7:42am

My luck has changed in the last day, on an 11 game unbeaten run, where i should have lost 4 of them for definite, anyway i must say the difference in my teams performance regarding tactic instructions in Rivals and SB is ridiculous, started SB last night, and every player plays to their instructions perfectly, 2 CM's break forward, CDM stays central protecting the back 4, Wingers cut inside runs are great to support Bobby in the false 9

In rivals they are doing absolutely nothing they are supposed to

Josey Wales · 23-10-2021 9:19am

I have 1500 points now to try qualify for the WL. Is there a good time to try qualify?

awec · 23-10-2021 11:28am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118059938#Comment_118059938

He could have been gifted a few free wins. You can get lucky during the qualifiers if you get a few of these.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061372#Comment_118061372

I'd try at the weekend, since the best players should be playing WL at that time.

callaway92 · 23-10-2021 12:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061372#Comment_118061372

You could ask the same question to 10 different people and get 1 different answers.

Just play whenever you feel up for it.

Calvin · 23-10-2021 12:21pm

Came up against a squad last night that had 91 Cruyff, 95 Maradona, 92 Maldini, 90 Gullit, Messi, Neymar, Varane etc… pretty much every single top card in the game, even Kante and CR7+ others on the bench. Went 1-0 down and quit immediately, wasn’t dealing with that. Don’t know how they get enjoyment having the best possible squad a month into the game.

awec · 23-10-2021 2:02pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061943#Comment_118061943

Think of the amount of money someone has to have pumped in to get that team at this stage. Even if you grinded the game 24/7 you'd hardly build that up.

Cyrus · 23-10-2021 2:45pm

4:5 in the qualifiers 😑

no super hard games to be honest, lost the final game 2-1 in a tightish battle, lets see how i go next time.

Josey Wales · 23-10-2021 3:37pm

I was playing a friendly earlier to complete the Knockout Objective. I was winning 1-0 an my opponent quit. I didn't get awarded the win though. Sucks as you only get 10 chances to do the objective.

23-10-2021 3:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118062763#Comment_118062763

There may be some exploit in Friendlies.

Not the same situation.

But I played one/two games of the Andre card one yesterday. A lad with a crap bronze team with no chem popped up. He paused and quit out immediately.

There is no reason to be loading up games with a scrub bronze squad unless they know something we dont.

dmigsy · 23-10-2021 4:03pm

Finally found where i can view my Rivals record (at least I'm guessing it's my rivals records since I haven't played any WL yet). 48-7-13. Better than I thought tbh. Up to Division 2 rank 1. Really haven't had much time to play. Moved house so loads of DIY stuff to do.

Totally changed my team again to get Neymar in. No specialist fullbacks in the team - I've realized I just really defend with them so don't need amazing fullbacks, just solid ones. Lining up like this in game. Sane is great as an attacking centre-mid. He's on get forward and makes really good runs in behind.

awec · 23-10-2021 4:06pm

all luck has deserted me in rivals now. Players falling over after making tackles etc.

had Martinez clean through, went round keeper then it decided I wasn’t allowed to control Martinez any more and he just stood still looking at the ball slowly rolling toward goal, eventually got control again, tapped shoot and he smashed it out of the stadium like a clearance. Literally missed an open net from a yard out.

Controller was lucky it didn’t go through the window.

awec · 23-10-2021 4:38pm

Need upgrades for Cuadrado and Spinazolla. Any tips?

Josey Wales · 23-10-2021 5:23pm

I think the Knockout Kings objective is broken. I've won 2 games but haven't gotten any rewards. There are similar complaints on the EA site.

Cyrus · 23-10-2021 5:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118062978#Comment_118062978

Hernandez for spinazolla , cuadrado is very good though

Which nation are you using? I’ve a full French team including bench and it’s working fine for me.

Josey Wales · 23-10-2021 6:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118063390#Comment_118063390

I've a mix of Spain, France and Portugal. Same on the bench. No one from Argentina.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118062855#Comment_118062855

I hear ya, Fabinho is my CDM, on stay back, cover centre, does the job perfectly in squad battles, can see him on screen, staying back in position, protecting the back 4

In Rivals, he is sprinting beyond Werner getting into the box, and goes wide in defence, leaving a huge gap through the middle, i just dont understand how this game works anymore

Blazer · 23-10-2021 7:50pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118060376#Comment_118060376

ah that I didn't know... I thought once you started the qualifiers you had to do it for that weekend. Sweet..guess I'm working on qualifying for next weekend :)
