    Took the plunge and did POTM Mbappe and he’s well worth it. Had more fodder than I realised and threw a good amount of special cards in so he only cost 600k in the end, had been hanging on to 2m for ages waiting on something decent to spend it on which is obviously not the most sensible way to treat virtual currency.

    Then forced myself to do all of the icon swap squad battle tokens since Friday to get the 13 tokens for the 92+ prime icon pack………out pops 94 Cruyff 😄

    Think this is probably the best FUT team I’ve ever had. Have 1.6m in the bank if anybody has any more suggestions for it but for now this is loads of fun. Only the full backs are tradable.

    Got this lad in my rewards, the game really wants me to play like a rat, this is a full team of untradeables I've gotten (even Kante and Cozza are from one of those player picks, I didn't do the SBC)




  • Registered Users Posts: 359 ✭✭doc holliday


    Went and completed the prime/moments sbc. Cost me everything including 4 icons that I'll never use (prime owen, prime hagi, Mid giggs and Mid lampard)

    On the plus side, it is a moments with 5 star/4 star and those free kicks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,231 ✭✭✭mutley18


    Neymar and Fantasy Mexican 87 CDM lad from Ajax from untradeable rewards. Good fodder.



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


    how come you have basic chem styles on most of them?



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


    I don't actually use them, they're just untradeables I've gotten through the year


    This is my team:




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


    Got Drogba from the prime icon in icon swaps..ah well foddah for a good sbc.



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




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


    Did the two 85x3 packs.


    Fantasy Alvarez, Suarez, Hummels.

    Fantasy Alvarez, Bruno, Aubamyang.


    grand return. Let me knock out another segment of Moments Socrates.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,518 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    In case anyone was wondering what happens when a 3-5-2 player comes up against another one:



    That was one chaotic match, wish they could all be so fun. 😅

    Funny when someone's butt hurt you beat them they'll throw that back at you that you had 5 at the back! It's one of the most attacking formations in the game



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


    I'd like a petition to ban 4231 from the game, at least on next gen. May as well put the controller down and go to sleep. This however looks like a bit of craic



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,518 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Cannot recommend it highly enough. I’ve been using 3-5-2 for years, some games it’s worked well and others it hasn’t, but it’s definitely viable this year. If anyone wants to give it a crack, I’ll gladly post my tactics.

    It’s not perfect or “meta” but it’s just fun to play with.



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


    The biggest failure of this game imo is that so few games feel competitive, every weekend I play 20 games and I'd say maybe all but 5 are either easy wins or clear losses, there are so few close matches.



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


    i need to do all my games on a Friday in future. For whatever reason, I always do better on Friday than the other days.


    hit Rank V this week, helped over the line by. Guy who decided to quit in the last game 40 minutes in but was kind enough to actually score an own goal before leaving.


    Picks

    Buchanan

    Durdevic

    Otavio

    Rashica

    Mitoma



    Antony

    Bale

    Bergwijn

    Mandi

    Tierney



    Bouchalakis

    Buchanan

    Ochoa

    Rashica

    Trajkovaki


    TOTW Pack: Diaz, Robinson, Trajkovaki


    not bad choices there for fodder towards Socrates.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,231 ✭✭✭mutley18


    Anyone used RTTF Lucas Hernandez? Tempted to grab before he is out of packs but big money for a cb!



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


    That free Eriksen we got will be getting a +2 upgrade after todays game, I used mine already in an SBC.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    Luckily I had 2 - used the untradeable one in the Varane SBC and kept the tradeable one. I’ve been using him and like him so a +2 is most welcome



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭PGE1970


    Anyone finding it hard to get a game in the Yarmalenko objective?

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


    another CB in my prime icon pick. Cannavaro.

    Now I have toty Marquinhos, 90 Rudiger, Mid Blanc and Prime Cannavaro. I might start off at 5221 or something like that and move Marquinhos to the CDM role. FB Kante has served me well but I think his time has come.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    I did then both last night pretty quick as well - no problem finding a game in either. Even played a couple of games this afternoon by mistake as thought I was playing one league for Premier League swap tokens - was fuming that my wins didn’t register until I realised I was in the wrong mode, lol



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


    I’ve done them both. I was struggling to get games for the ligue 1 liaisons mode.



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


    Too much untradeable fodder so decided I’d do the prime pick… Stoichkov, Koeman or Rio. Went with Rio, have no use for any of them so just went with whichever costs the most on the market.



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


    So zero point opening packs until next promo , presume it’s tots ?



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


    What the hell is that Werghorst SBC. He looks utterly cracked 😂



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,518 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    He’s got the perfect stats to hold the ball at the corner flag in the last 10 minutes of a game, that’s what frightens me the most.



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


    Yeah I have been using 3-5-2 all year this year. It's great craic. I tend to either batter my opponent or get battered. I'm just playing for fun so I have PotM Sterling & Moments Ziyech in the wide positions neither of whom are great at the auld tracking back.





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


    I got him, unbelievable, just swing in crosses, corners and at 6'6 with 90 jump, he is the man, then along with his movement in open play with pace, he is basically unstoppable, paired him up front with 93 Van Basten, not bothering with WL so just playing rivals now for something to do, and 11 wins in a row so far



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


    Red picks:

    86 Otavio

    89 DiMaria

    84 Odegaard



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


    Only the 88 squad left on PIM Socrates now. Probably spend the 200k or so to finish it off tomorrow. Going to do the Kane SBC too feed into him too cause I think it would be cheaper than actually buying the higher rated cards.


    Baby Socrates going into it too. 538 games played, and I loved the card. Only reason I’m getting rid is cause it’s the PIM Socrates.


    also realised I had enough reds to do the 86+ upgrade. The Red Ronaldo I got from it last year did me so long and I still miss him. Sadly….

    is socrates worth doing? where did you play the baby?

    Baby del piero was my pull in the first icon sbc and i still use him (now especially as im shoehorning tonali and caliguiri into a Ligue Un side) and i am waiting on the prime sbc that is supposed to be coming.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,711 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kimbot


    How long will it take for Eriksen to get his +2?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    Need to do weghorst but just short on the players for it



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


    Played the baby as a CM. From what I’ve read, he’s way stronger as a CAM, but that’s where I can fit him. He’s a big lad, strong, a bit slow but has an insane shot on him from distance.


    I run a midfield of Rooney, Socrates and Bruno. It’s pretty porous but I have fun launching rockets 😂



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


    Completed Weghorst and switched to a 352 with him and HL Diaz up top, FB Bobby behind. Banged a hat trick with him including my first bicycle kick this year… lots of fun with that card. Will win you every ball in the air. Highly recommend completing him if you haven’t done so already, very fun card to use. 4 games, 7 goals and 2 assists for me.



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


    Yeah, he’s carried me from the bottom of Div 2 to the first checkpoint in Div 1. He’s so much fun.


    especially if you score a header quickly, cause it seems to wind people up enough to get a rage quit 😂



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


    Played a game there last night against moments R9 and TOTY Messi… Weghorst banged a hat trick inside 25 mins and the fella was gone.



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


    team him with kent for the ultimate strike force



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,518 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    That Weghorst card is utterly cracked, I’m just crossing everything into him now but he keeps scoring, 10 in his first 7. He’s so much fun to use.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Of course Everton would be winning... I did Weghorst.

    Apologies to the rest of ye.

    Pretty much never get the winner in these(only plus two was Origi and it was penos).

    I get no luck in anything of chance.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    Burnley just equalised



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Maybe I need to reverse jinx my luck anymore by posting the above. I done a fair few of these and only had one plus 2 and never a 90min winner 🤷🏻‍♂️😂.

    I only did him at 5:45, he was marginally better than PIM Drogba as it was but will be a much better option now.

    (Few mins left but should get at least at +1 now)



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭Boulders8


    Burnley in front now - injury time, +2 Weghorst incoming

    Edit: Burnley win 3-2



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


    That’s the plan alright… my club is void of fodder so will need to use coins to do Kent I’d say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,518 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Weekend League is going to be very fun now with a 91 Weghorst. 😁



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


    Burnley 🥰🥰🥰



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Find it interesting you're scoring crosses. I used semi assisted for a while after giving up on assisted but switched back last week as I wasn't scoring any.

    It's been a problem for a few years as in goalies catching everything, poor runs, back post always being the most likely, awful balls in etc but I personally find it even worse this year.

    I think with Drogba, I barely had a header with him in a few weeks, but there was an element of him NEVER being the striker in a position to even get one(always hanging back or some other nonsense)... Hoping Weghorst stands in better places



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


    Weghorst upgraded, i might give WL a shot this weekend, if i play any of ye, i apologise in advance, there will be plenty of crosses into the box 😄



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭dmigsy


    Crossing is good this year. Previous years it wasn't an option but works great this year. My team is built around it. I'm in Elite and rank 4 every WL with a wide 41212 with Ginola and Figo pumping crosses into Laborde and Lewandowski. I have most success with early crosses from the corner of the box to someone arriving at the back post.

    weghorst dragged me up to Elite division 😂


    I usually scrape into Elite in the last week or two of a season. Have never hit it this early. Chuffed.
