    Has anyone used Rooney? I'd he any good. Got him the other day for 23k but haven't used him yet..

    Got him in a pack and put him up top in my PL 4-3-3. He was absolutely dire. Sold him for €60k at the time I think.

    Hey tsc have u noticed that as you go higher in the division the teams actuslly get worse?? Like I'm constantly playing players with 78 or 79 rated teams and not because they have a bronze bench but because the are using lower rated players.

    Im in division 2 now and out of over 500 games this year I've only played against ronaldo once in ultimate team and messi hasn't been seen at all, similar I've very very rarely came up against robben, ribbery, suarez and neymar it's constantly just lower rated players.

    He is slow but if you use him as cam or cf he is brilliant his shots from outside the box are savage and his strenght is brilliant too.

    Actually, this is close to something I was going to mention but hadn't got round to yet; the number of super teams this year seems way, way down, while the number of different types of teams (as in, unusual players, unusual leagues, hybrids) are way up.

    I wonder if its linked to the lack of coin selling this year; maybe people who used to buy their super teams aren't able to get the couple of million coins needed to create those superteams. Maybe people are splashing coins on drafts (I know I am; I'd say I've wasted well over 100k on drafts now). Or the drafts are giving people their Ronaldo and Messi kicks, given you seem to get at least one every time you play. Or maybe people are realising handicapping just makes it not massively worth while?

    Don't know. But I'd agree there's less of those teams. Don't think I've faced Ronaldo or Messi in seasons yet.

    I really don't know you would imagine with the prices of the players they have to be tons of them going around even the likes of ronaldo I've never seen them so plentiful on the market.

    Could be drafts but I detest that so I must be doing something wrong there ha.

    After having problems with getting knocked out in the first round using 100 chem teams, I've won the first two matches in my current one with a three man CM of Gundogan, Muller and IF Ibrahimovic, with Hero Lewandowski and Hero Agureo in front of them.


    **** chemistry and positions....

    Why is the coin selling down, this has been a question brought up with the lads since we noticed lack of Ronaldo at division 8 level

    Splitting up the console/' transfer markets (Xbox 360 and Xbox One no longer share markets, neither does the PS3 and PS4) has made it harder to exploit certain glitches to milk coins, and price ranges has made it harder to transfer them to buyers (since you can't sell a bronze player for 2 million coins). They have also been handing out bans more more freely.

    Another thing not directly responsible as u mentioned already but has made it harder is the removal of club names and details from transfer market.

    The prices dont sem to be rising like we thought they would after last weekend, i dont really. Mind that tho its not a bad thing overall.

    First Barkley gone for 44k :D 20k profit on him.

    Going to resist blowing profits on a draft though. Want to actually start building up for some top level players.

    Silva is probably my favourite outfield player in the game this year. Waltzes by tackles and links up the play beautifully. Cracker of a shot too

    The ability to switch between max and min by using L2 makes selling consumables so much easier, so much time saved

    Its not an infinite thing. It ended a while after the game came out but then they ran it again for a short time. Usually you don't get anything for logging in for the most part.

    Faced a super team today! 4 legends in it, Aguero, IF DeBruyne, IF Otamendi.

    Beat them 2-1. He took an early lead, and then handicapping kicked in. First goal was a cross I floated into the box that his defender jumped for and missed completely, granting me an easy tap in. Then he couldn't string two passes together, until he finally gave away a dreadful penalty in the 85th minute; a gust of wind blew over Walcott and the ref pointed to the spot. Blasted it straight down the middle...his keeper just watched it fizz over his head. He screamed a little in frustration :P
