    I havent played the game yet, still dont intend to but the junkie in me is doing sbcs and trading on the web app,

    am doing the james, barnes and gray routine and its a joke, people come along and buy them at 1500-1700 all day. Same with position mods.

    If i get a neymar or mbappe ill play :D



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


    Daka, buy him for 800 and sell for 2400 all day long :) loads still buying him for mad prices and I would imagine that will be the way for the next couple of weeks as more people buy the game.

    The great thing about this trading method is that there IS enough to go around. The lazy buyers outnumber us 100 to 1, there's really no fear of the method becoming too popular to work.



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


    Here's the team btw


    Edit: It's full chem, the app just doesn't display Hero chem correctly

    Daniel James, Harvey Barnes, Demari Gray std gold cards. Buy for 700-800 sell for 15/1600



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


    Loving this new skill move (Heel to heel while holding L1/LB)





  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Saw my first Kimpembe in a game this morning.

    Made me shudder.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Was also watching Boras' stream earlier there, he was talking about trying hard to get to Div4 so that makes me feel better about being stuck in 7!



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


    Been using him for a few days and he’s nowhere near as OP as last year. Still not bad at all though.

    Really happy that if you have a player with the Giant Throw-In trait he now automatically takes every throw-in in the attacking third, main reason I did that Mbemba SBC 😆




  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Has anyone noticed that your keeper will automatically dive for penalties if you don't press any buttons?

    I've saved 3 already without doing anything. Every time I wanted to stay down the middle, but they went to a side and the keeper dived anyway



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


    Another great thing about it is how easy it is to perform.

    Usually the best skill moves involve 4 million button presses in a particular order but this one is so simple, yet so effective.

    I'm spamming it constantly with Neymar! 😅



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


    Also, the nature of trading is there's a lot of lazy traders too; people will try it briefly and then give up. If you've got a method that works, and then slows down cause people have jumped on it...give it a few days, people will have given up again and it will probably pick back up.


    YEAP! Saved a few by just not doing anything. Really weird. I presume its partly if the other person mucks up their penalty take though. I'm finding they're ultra easy to score this year though.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    I haven't scored any yet, missed every one!

    I know you hit it when the circle is small, but do you have to hold down the direction the entire time or is it like last year where the direction is like elastic? Mine always seem powderpuff.



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


    What I'm doing is....


    90% power, when the circle is as tight to the ball as possible. Then fully hold the stick in the direction I want the ball to go. I find if I get the circle part perfect, it slots into the corner.


    Mind, that's using the likes of Bruno and Kane with their high penalty stats. Took one yesterday with Casemiro and it was a disaster. 😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,209 ✭✭✭Redzer7


    Lads any tips on how to complete a 2 yard fúcking pass?



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


    Grinded out the Bronze Squad milestones today, and was rewarded with…





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Avon8


    Easily the best decision I've made playing FIFA. If he gets the expected inform tomorrow then a 400k price tag is within sight once the price limits are updated.

    Although seeing the value of slaving over a web app for a number of hours is probably not the best life move for future years

    Can't get onto the web app this morning, keeps telling me I have no internet connection



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




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


    Back up now.


    Pitch notes saying they've "improved dribbling" for players with lower dribbling stats.


    The return to the norm of spinning players begins :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭Nolars


    All my 30 players sold probably due to to downtime a nice amount of coins made.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    I really hope they don't tinker too much with it, it really does feel like the meta is different this year, or at least, non-meta players are far more viable.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Packed UT Casemiro from the 83+ but it doesn't seem like there's anything worthwhile to put him into right now.

    Started the 10 hour trial about 5 hours through it. It's decent so far, but that's usually how it starts out before they patch it.

    Mainly played squad battles to get some objectives and easy packs done.

    I'm hearing a lot about lengthy players this year. Have they done away with pace now and made it a fairer game where the likes of Lewa, Kane and slow centre back beasts are useable?



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Kane is definitely usable this game. I've seen him quite a few times.

    I would say the game overall is a lot slower. Even fast players can't really do the daft supersonic runs with endless skill moves.



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


    I have 160k coins but no team other than untradeable OTW Schlotterbach & Lucas Hernandez!

    So I have a chance to start a new team.

    Any suggestions as to what league, any particular players for that budget?

    Cheers!



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


    Anyone used Peter Crouch yet? I’m dying to try him out but he’ll probably be nerfed into oblivion by the time I can afford him. I just really want to replicate what Showdown Weghorst brought to the team last year, if only I could transfer him into this game, he’d be quite literally unstoppable. 😂



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Serie A doesn't have the most exciting cards, but it's the best bang for your buck. Something like this is currently about 168k:

    Ginola winner in my first game of qualifiers




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




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


    Might start replacing some of my sales with IFs now, they sell to lazy buyers all the same AND have potential to jump in price with SBC requirements



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Avon8


    Yeah plenty in drafts. Way quicker and more agile than you'd expect, albiet every card feels similar pace thid year. Similar enough to Haaland tbh, I wouldn't hesitate



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


    3 preview packs brought me in 80k.. not half bad. Luis Diaz, Foden and 2x Klostermann. Used points to purchase them as I still haven’t spent any of the pre-order points… this weekend I’ll have to splash them all, RTTK coming and leaks have Messi + Valverde so far.



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


    ah, I see the annual IF Maddison that is the perfect card for If trading had arrived early this year 😂 Smalling too. Lovely stuff. Both should be cheap this weekend after rewards.



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


    The game has finally clicked for me tonight. I’ve had to change my from my stalwart 3-5-2 from pretty much every FUT but I’m starting to get results now and scoring some lovely team goals. Love how creativity is finally being rewarded in the game at the minute, I know it won’t last because the patches will ruin the game like every year, but it’s very enjoyable at the minute.



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


    Got demolished in the WL qualifiers! 🙈

    Well, first game I was 3-1 up and the connection went after 60 minutes - game didn't count. Second game was 2-2 and I had a penalty in the last minute, my opponent pulled the plug - game didn't count. 🙄

    Lost 5 in a row then and was gifted a win in game number 6 so I'm 1-5 and need to win 3 of my last 4 to make it in. No chance really.

    I'm in division 5 in Rivals and found the standard to be way, way better than what I'm facing in that. I didn't come across any teams that were much better than mine on paper, but some of my opponents were really excellent players.

    Last year it took me a few weeks to make it in IIRC and then it was plain sailing from there, so it's probably just a matter of waiting for more of the player base to have enough qualification points to enter, to get easier game.

    Might sell my team up tomorrow as I'll make a nice profit and then buy back over the weekend for cheaper.



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


    An outrageously expensive 80 rated card but he's sure to get upgrades and he links with both Ronaldo and Ginola so I'll make the investment




  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    1 win off Div6, tried to sneak it in this morning but couldn't get the win.

    Picked option 2 with rewards but gonna keep them for RTTK, even though I already know I'm not packing anything decent!

    what fomation Marty


    as predicted by AWEC i have caved, i need to quit the game cycle earlier i think next year rather than play through the summer.



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


    Otw Bergwijn only thing of note in my rewards.


    And they still haven’t fixed the bloody Libretores walkout issue, cause he wasn’t the walk out, a random 70 rated card was. 😂



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


    shortage of lazy buyers at the moment 😥



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




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


    Midweek mornings aren't great for lazy buyers, too many kids in school to buy your cards



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Bad time of the week to be doing it.

    Didn't even last 2 weeks! 😁

    I'm running 433-4 at the moment. It's going alright.



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


    I replaced Calvert-Lewin in my front line with Firmino and in the 4-3-3 (2) and slick passing im scoring goals for fun with all 3 front players. Its a massive step up on last years 4-3-3 (2) the only specific instruction I use then is full back attack, cb'c stay back with the cdm also staying back, width is the default but high line I pushed up 8 higher. Scoring a lot of nice bicycle kicks and volleys with early crosses now too :)



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


    Qualified for WL, think this will be the team I take in




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


    Already turning into a good sales day for me

    @BrentMused you going for the Di Natale card this year? I think I got him in November last year.

    Sitting at the 1million+ mark right now.
