I've bought me an IF Keane for 13k. Going to put him away now till March and see how much I get for him :P

Got Ashley Cole in my pre-order pack today; not bad going after Gundogan last week.

don't the normal cards get bumped up to IF stats after a few months?

Potentially they can get close enough when the updated cards are released though no?

When players get updated cards, they are completely different cards. For instance if Fabregas gets an upgrade to 86 in January updates, on the market will be both his cards, but only his 86 card can be pulled from packs

I'd personally feel foolish dropping €10 a day on cigarettes, or €100 on a drinking session on a Friday night. I know some people who drop €75 a week on a new game, and others who'd think we're all foolish for dropping that on Fifa to begin with.

I get more than my money's worth out of Fifa long term (even if not short term with stupid pack drops :P).

Im going to play devils advocate here.

You can't grow your own tobacco and while you can brew your own beer it's a fair bit of hassle and takes a bit of skill.

You can however play UT without pumping real money into it.
If you want fags/drink, you haven't got an alternative really.

TLDR: UT isn't reliant on using real money, in fact it's more or less always wasted and real improvement takes trading and transfer market buys :pac:

May as well take Ibarbo out of this game, joke.

F### EA! Played the other night, packed it in when I got a disconnection after an 'epic' game which I won. Just had a few games there and the last was against a Brazilian pace whore, was 6-2 down mainly due to yer man scoring from his kick offs, pulled it back to 6-6 in injury time... disconnection and got a loss. Seriously #### you EA, why does no other game I play have connection issues? This and your scamming in game purchases just go ####.

lol whimper

Edit: and wtf no fitness decrease in my players, doesn't add up that ****

Any of you guys making a Premier League squad? Who are your "must have's"? For me it's Matic and Koscielny and maybe Schurlle!

Benteke so far for me, saving for schurrle at the moment though

Ross Barkley has been immense for me. Bony is a beast, bought lukaku but Bony is still better. Have him paired up front with Welbeck. Ben Arfa on the right. The rest of the team im improving as I go. Have Howard in goals and hes been pretty solid compared to previous keepers.

AdamD · 21-10-2014 9:29am

Matic

Ozil and Diego Costa were my two best, i packed in the premiership squad for a la liga one, i think its the best team to make, having the most fun with it.

x43r0 · 21-10-2014 10:15am

Lloris is amazing in goal

Di Maria has been the best attacking EPL player I've used

AdamD · 21-10-2014 11:21am

Also Ideye, Henderson and Delph are the best value players I've used in the PL.

Mongo · 21-10-2014 11:28am

Who are ye going for at the back?

Muirshin Durkin · 21-10-2014 11:41am

Onuoha is decent and cheap, Koscielny is a beast if you have coins. Cahill decent and cheap enough also.

SpuddMurphy · 21-10-2014 12:52pm

Wayne Rooney as a CAM is unbelievable if you've coins, 25 goals for me in 12 games, unbelievable passing and shooting, him linking up with Costa is why I'm doing so well atm

Colonel_McCoy · 21-10-2014 2:50pm

Sterling if you can get him

Mr Moon · 21-10-2014 3:27pm

Best premiership player for in or around 20k?

SureYWouldntYa · 21-10-2014 4:35pm

Willian, with his high high work rates he's always getting involved in the game. 20k on PS, 15.5 on Xbox

Axwell · 21-10-2014 5:19pm

Fellaini, after that goal last night hes bound to be on the up

For your team id look at a solid CDM, think thats what you need most

Lord TSC · 21-10-2014 5:33pm

Just added Rooney and Sterling to my BPL team. Anyone any thoughts of how to improve this (without having to spend a few hundred thousand :P). Have about 20k to play round with...

J Mysterio · 21-10-2014 5:38pm

Chemistry styles.

SureYWouldntYa · 21-10-2014 5:38pm

Ramsey. Not too expensive and way more useful than Lampard

Was looking at him. Looks a bit better overall. But Lampard has scored some rockets for me so am scared to let him go :P

Actually, this leads me to another question I wanted to ask; how do you decide which player gets which chem style? Do you pick something to boost his poorer stats? Boost his better stats to play to his strenghts?

De Gea would be the main weak link imo. If i was buying ramsey id be jeeping lampard and replacing wilshire. Lampards passing is too good and he has great long shots if you can master them.

I found this quite useful in understanding them

Basic
All players will start with this basic chemistry style attached to their card. This, basically, means that an overall increase is applied to your players stats presuming that you’re running decent overall team chemistry links.

Forwards /Attacking styles
Sniper – increases shooting and dribbling stats – position to use on – RW, LW & CF
Finisher – increases shooting and physical stats – position to use on – ST
Deadeye – increases shooting and passing stats – position to use on – CAM, RW, LW, CF & ST
Marksman – increases shooting, dribbling and physical stats – position to use on – CAM, CF & ST
Hawk – increases pace, shooting and physical stats – position to use on – RW, LW & ST
Hunter – increases pace and shooting stats – position to use on – RW, LW & CF

Midfield / Attacking & Defensive styles
Artist – increases dribbling and passing stats
Architect – increases physical and passing stats – position to use on – CM & CAM
Powerhouse – increases defending and passing stats – position to use on – CDM
Maestro – increases dribbling, shooting and passing stats – position to use on – CM & CAM
Engine – increases pace, dribbling and passing stats – position to use on – RW, LW & CF
Catalyst – increases pace and passing stats – position to use on – CDM, CM & CAM

Defenders / Defensive styles
Sentinel – increases defending and physical stats – position to use on – RB, LB & CB
Guardian – increases defending and dribbling stats – position to use on – RWB, LWB, RB & LB
Gladiator – increases defending and shooting stats – position to use on – RWB, LWB, CDM
Backbone – increases defending, physical and passing stats – position to use on – CDM & CB
Anchor – increases pace, defending and physical stats – position to use on – RWB, LWB, RB, LB & CB
Shadow – increases pace and defending stats – position to use on – RWB, LWB, RB, LB & CB

Goalkeeper styles
Wall – increases diving, handling and kicking stats
Shield – increases reflexes, speed and kicking stats
Cat – increases reflexes, speed and positioning stats
Glove – increases diving, handling and positioning stats

The chemistry styles that increase 2 different stats rather than 3 will go up between 1-3 points depending on the level of your overall team chemistry. The one’s with 3 such as Anchor and Backbone will go up a maximum of 2.

You have a similar team to mine. I actually think Lampard is really good too and I got Ramsey and he's ok. If you got another CM with great passing. Maybe a Mata or someone??

Mr Blobby · 21-10-2014 6:20pm

Just over 60K and not one player to buy..

Hopefully someone in Serie A gets an IF.

brianon · 21-10-2014 9:55pm

This game is p*ssing me off. So many rage quits and so little satisfaction.

FUT. Season 7 Opening game. Go 3-1 up with 20 to play. Instant disconnect. Match to be reviewed. Nada. No coins. No win. Nothing.

Happened so many times now. I take my beatings (frequent) on the chin. So annoying. My players lose 1 from their contracts as well!

Perhaps a new DC glitch? I thought they fixed that.

Lord TSC · 22-10-2014 11:36am

Have to say, really disappointed in Rooney as a striker so far. He seems really slow, constantly losing the ball and being muscled out of runs.

Know someone said about trying him at CAM so might try that. Its that or offloading him and trying to get Falcao...

I had falcao before and thought he was okay.I think Costa is a beast in a BPL squad

I've just offloaded Falcao - Great finisher but he's just not quick enough

Pretty interesting read. Hard to know of its real or not but it defo could be. Regardless it's fun to try out.

Who did you replace him with? I've Rooney and Costa up front. Wouldn't mind replacing Rooney. I have about 100k.

I didn't - I'm going to just rotate Aguero, Di Maria and Roony up front. Don't need 4 strikers

How does aguero play? Is aguero worth the money?

MrStuffins · 22-10-2014 6:02pm

Any specific CF or CB recommendations from the German league for someone on a budget? I'm talking approx 2500 max

Lord TSC · 22-10-2014 6:09pm

Never realised how important pace is for strikers; Rooney and Falcao are doing nothing for me cause of how slow they are

toprak is a decent cheap CB

not really a CF but Olic did the business for me upfront till I could afford lewandowski

Lord TSC · 22-10-2014 7:10pm

W00t! A De Gea I bought for 80k three days ago just sold for 110k

deafroadrunner · 22-10-2014 7:20pm

If your looking a cheap striker. I recommend sau. an absolute beast for me. 25 goals in 13 games. I have up front with ibabro and calljaon behind them. unreal.
