The only thing that catches me out with it a bit is I often find myself comfortable in moving up the field but come unstuck on the edge of the box surrounded by defenders. Someone like Neal is brilliant at using a skill move to create a bit of space in that situation but I'm an average player and struggle to do the same.
Often times with this formation it's just about recycling the ball, being patient and awaiting the right pass to become available, but I feel if I was a little better at using skill moves I'd be flying.
For now I'm thrilled with the improvement though.
This 100%, I'd score loads of more goals if I was just able to create a small bit more space but passing or shooting, but my skill moves just always end up with me running into the defender
I need to get better at reading the defenders movement as well, which way they're going to go 0 -

Honestly guys does anyone have any idea what EA’s reasoning behind their decisions is?
- Game essentially dead online between Monday-Wednesday for those who chose to play their flagship mode
- SBC’s being released asking for specific cards that weren’t yet in packs
- Icon Swaps as mentioned pushed out for months
I know the SBC reasoning is probably hoping people will buy packs to get the UCL cards, but it’s like they are trying to kill engagement with the game a couple of weeks in.
I just don’t see their logic at all? 0 -

On the 30 rivals ones, I would say that was just a complete cock up that they couldn’t fix on time about the wl games, as it would involve coding and possible a patch (I’m no expert there so not sure)
So they just ran with what they did while they work on a fix, in a week or 2 when fix is ready they’ll say “oh we listened to the community and wl games no longer count towards the 30”0 -

I was guilty of just mashing shoot as soon as I hot my corner. But last night was working on timing it and I scored three headers from corners which is probably more than I scored in the entirety of FIFA 20 :pac:Osmosis Jones wrote: »Still can't understand why they're waiting so long to release Icon Swaps, last year it started 9 days ago, this year we're still at least 6 weeks away.
Yeah, very annoying, it at least gave you some long term goals to work towards in between Objective players etc.0 -

I hope you're right (and I think you will be). I would love to play Weekend League but at the moment they've essentially forced me into a choice between the two and considering I can't play 30 Rivals games on a Thursday before Weekend League on Friday, I'm going to go with the game mode that allows me to play more casually throughout the week.you gotta time them too afaik, some people are fcking lethal at them from corners though and its impossible to stop it seemsI was guilty of just mashing shoot as soon as I hot my corner.

I was awful at corners this edition until I bought Mane and De Bruyne - now I'm averaging a goal every 3 corners I'd guess.
Players in the box for corners set on 2 in custom tactics. This allows Mane a lot of space to operate and get his run off. Corner tactic on run to near post and whip it in with De Bruyne. Mane is almost unstoppable in the air if he has a run on a defender and the tactic also has the added benefit of helping to avoid getting caught on the counter as you have more players outside the box to guard against the break.
I found how effective it was by accident when playing Squad Battles. In Squad Battles, even on legendary the defender closest to the near post doesn't really move and I was scoring nearly every time I got a corner from either side. It's a little different online as better players tend to move that defender, but sometimes that can work in your favour as they leave more space for the run.0 -

Got my 30 Rivals games completed. Currently rank 1 in division 3 with 15,500 points. It finished on over 16,000 last week but I'd imagine a lot of people will have decided to play WL instead as the points are only barely creeping up every hour or so, so fingers crossed I'll hold on but rank 2 would be fine anyway.
That said, I am on an absolutely horrific run. I was on the cusp on division 2 this morning but played 11 games today - won 2, drew 2 and lost 7 :eek:
I literally finished my last game on 1440 skill rating which means one more draw or loss and I'm down into division 4.
Looking forward to a night off from it tonight.
What do you guys usually do when on a bad run?0
