So I finally got to try RTTF Sanches and his link play is fantastic. I tried him with RTTF Sissoko in Midfield and dropped Kante but unfortunately as I had expected this combination is just a little too open against good players. So looks like it needs to be either Sissoko or Sanches with Kante to give me to security that I am used too.

I have also come to the conclusion that I don't like CR7 this year. After having played about 50 games with him, he is not quick or strong enough against the good defenders, or agile enough when the box is packed and his dribbling is sub par. Feels like a downgrade from IF Ben Yedder or even RTTF Rashford on 7 chem.

I also have a new theory that the combination of high Agility and Balance is the important thing for attackers this year. Anyone else noticed this?

Came here to see if anyone had the same issue

Not sure if it's my tv but now I can see much more of the pitch which is great the the angle makes it a little bit different to play. Kind of hard to explain but when I'm trying to line up a tackle I ended up cleaning the other guy out of it 5 times outta 5. Will take a little getting used to.

Edit: there's a classic mode in the camera settings

Yeah that camera angle is nice to have in career mode or something, but annoys me in online. Was very mind-****ed trying to play with it. Managed to change it in the end tho... took a bit of fiddling around as I forgot my camera settings.

Rashford but from the upgrade using 11 crap red picks.

Did the objectives last night, Gravenberch is quite good but I think the RW is the real find there, very quick and agile, good finishing and 5 star weak foot.

Loved using Promes to do the objectives, how is his upgraded card? Tempted by this team..swapping Rashford and Zaha in game

Just not sure on Ramos/Carvajal

BrentMused · 04-12-2020 11:23am

Jesus, those Managerial Masterpiece friendlies for doing the objectives makes Weekend League look like a game against a mate. Utter poison! :eek:

I've played 10 and only won 4 but given how toxic each of those games have been I'm happy with that.

I do like the fact that they have good objectives to play for in a game mode that doesn't really matter in terms of record and they deserve credit for that in fairness, however, I feel there are a couple of ways to improve it:

- Get rid of skill based match-making for friendlies.

- If they're going to have a limit on the squad rating, in this case 77, maybe have a limit on the rating each card can be instead, e.g. no card over 82+. This would cover off the likes of Mbappe or Ronaldo coming off the bench after a minute too.

Calvin · 04-12-2020 11:31am

Somehow I’ve made it to div 3, 1600 SR over the last few days. Now each squad is just a carbon copy of the last - Lloris, Mendy, Varane, Gomez, Walker, Kante, Neymar and Gini are very common picks.

Might take a break from rivals and try for those eredivisie objectives.

I definitely agree with this anyway, squad cap 77 and player cap 82 would be great.

Rock Lesnar · 04-12-2020 11:59am

Lads any idea why Thiago Alcantara is selling today, had a few stocked up that i got for 8-9k a while back, and he's selling for over 12k yesterday and today

Frisbee · 04-12-2020 12:24pm

Have been hovering around top end of Div 5 nearly Div 4 for all FIFA so far. Over the past week cannot buy a win for love nor money, have been relegated to Div 6 and prob not far of hitting Division 7 at this stage. Team is the exact same but just nothing seems to be working, can barely score a goal.

But then doing any objectives in friendlies I can't lose. Past few have got my 10 wins in 10/11 games and had to just give away 4 games to make up the 'Played 15' objective.

RedRochey · 04-12-2020 1:21pm

Anyone doing the Alessandrini and Herrera SBCs?

Alessandrini would be the only good French RW in the game and Herrera looks like a beast if it gets upgraded (Atletico just need a draw against Salzburg to get out of the group)

Frisbee · 04-12-2020 1:33pm

Also surely we are getting Icon Swaps today. Right? RIGHT?

I bloody hope so. Baby Butra was my favorite card from last year, I've been holding off on buying him in case he pops up in Swaps and his value plummets.

Will spend whatever it takes for Bruno, lol

Whenever a new card is added to the code this lad tweets it, and he hasn't said anything about Icon Swaps cards yet so getting worried we're not getting it today

did them all last night in 15 games last game i come up against a dude using a prem team and subbing on son martial and lucas, im 90% sure there isnt objs in managerial masterpiece for using prem players right ? so he was just doing it to annoy people and celebrating goals with the usual 1 depth drop back 4 forwards on stay forward and spamming through balls, anyways i beat him 6-3 in ET and turned and zoomed him for the last 2 goals.

will prob use the cm from those objs as a sub although am tempted to use the RW aswel but his 3 star skills kinda puts me off so will try him as a sub. Was also using 41212 wide for it and felt like it was a really good formation so much so im gonna try it out for the weekend

Cyrus · 04-12-2020 3:26pm

guys whats the difference (if your team has 100 chem already) in using say Tomas Partys CAM card as a CDM and his CDM card given his stats are indentical on both?

what cam card? do you mean just with a position change ? its the exact same card you only change position on the card for the chem then change positions in game.

well i was buying him and i did compare prices, i bought the cheapest one, turned out he was a cam instead of a cdm

my formation requires two cdms, but if i put him in there as a chem and have no overall chemistry issue im ok?

You're team might have 100 Chem. But if you are using a CAM card in CDM then chances are that card will have somewhere between 4-6 Chem. So while the team gets 100, that particular player will play below their full possible stats. In theory.

yeah you'll have to change his positions to a cdm, might be cheaper to jsut sell him and buy him again i think cam>cm is like 4.5k on the market.

Joao Felix won POTM in Spain. No sign of his card yet, it may come out at 6pm.

Blazer · 04-12-2020 5:34pm

Just had one of the most frustrating games ever in WL.
Down 2-0 but made it back to 3-2 with 15 mins left.
Guy is 3-3 at 75 mins after Ter Stegen catches his shot from a free kick, goes to throw it out, falls over my defender at the post and falls back into the goals to give an own goal.
My Mbappe is clear through and his player absolutely hacks him down from behind and I get zilch for it.
Goes down the other end and he scores from a penalty after I barely touch his player.
Luckily I equalise and we end up going to penalties where I somehow win after missing the first 2.
What a ****up of a game.

BrentMused · 04-12-2020 5:49pm

Starting to make headway with the Bellerin objectives now.

Up to 9 wins with 5 wins out of 6 this afternoon.

The highlight was being down 3-0 after 20 minutes in one game against someone who was doing full celebrations for each of his goals and coming back to win 5-4. I could almost hear the sound of the lovely new Dual Sense controller cracking off his wall from here as the winner went in! :pac:

The pool of PS5 players must be quite small as I matched up with the same guy 3 times today. Lucky for me he was one of the poorer players I matched up against during the session as it gave me 3 of those wins, although he went 2-0 up on me in the first one which I came back to win 7-2.

I hope Bellerin is worth it now but on paper he looks a little better than Walker and probably a little bit better than that again ahead of Semedo.

Blazer · 04-12-2020 5:53pm

Anyone on the new Xbox get the update?
I’m still on the old version and the pitch changing colour intermittently is annoying as hell.

Just on Bellerin, he his work-rates are High (attacking) / Low (defensive).

I got him last week, but haven't tried him yet. In theory he should be out of position a lot.

I'm going to hold off doing Flashback Aguero with the possibility of PotM Felix and PotM Bruno, in addition to the other SBCs that should come out for FUTmas.

I have all FUT champs & rivals rewards saved, as well as lots of objective packs and SBC packs - maybe 5 of those are mega packs or rare mega packs. Hopefully pack something decent that gets me some coins or at least will save me coins for all of these SBCs that are coming up.

Would love to have PotM Bruno partnered with either Kante. Finding it's a big limitation to have 2 CMs like Allan & Sissoko that don't make decent runs or aren't a goal threat so the opponent can just focus on cutting the passing lanes.

Mr Moon · 04-12-2020 6:06pm

Felix is out 3 segments
84(if) 85(if) & 87

Lord TSC · 04-12-2020 6:37pm

Cheaper than I thought.

Might do him, to link Fati into PL teams easier, via the inevitable POTM Bruno.

dmigsy · 04-12-2020 6:42pm

Felix looks good alright. Probably gonna get him. Fits well with Ronaldo, Sanches and Gelson Martins.

Calvin · 04-12-2020 6:46pm

If I was running a La Liga team or could fit him in, I’d def do it. Seems cheap given links and his stats. Heard lots of good things about his IF card too.

Blazer · 04-12-2020 8:41pm

Felix is absolutely worth it.
Kick off in his first match in WL , walks through the opposing team and buried the ball in the net. Inside 2 mins of game time lol.

Had to drop NIF Ben Yedder as I had better options for striker and while he was still producing he wasn’t the match winner he was before.
Switched to a La Liga team mainly and Felix and Suker really combine well.

v3ttel · 04-12-2020 8:51pm

Opened a heap of packs - from FUT champs, SBCs, Div rivals, objectives.

Not one player that actually sells for even a couple of K. All just duplicates over and over - Toreira, Anguissa, Spinazzolla.

Cheers mate.

I find the stay back while attacking and conservative interceptions instructions do tend to nullify the high attacking work rates for full backs so hopefully it will be the same with Bellerin.

Blazer · 05-12-2020 1:39am

Had tried Mbappe and Suker again today. But both just lacked that killer touch for goals.
Cue Puskas. You can see why he’s 1.8mill.
Suker was scoring all around for me but it was maybe 1 goal in 2 shots,
Puskas is quite simply a goal machine. Once he’s in range it’s a goal. Plus his movement is far better than Sukers. But it would want to be at 2.5 times the price.
Apart from him, Varane and Ter Stegen the rest of my team is untradeable.

Calvin · 05-12-2020 1:53am

Opponent subs on Alphonso Davies at CDM and with his first touch of the game, scores a first time shot just outside the box into the bottom right.... he has 67 shooting ffs.

Don’t know what they’ve done with next gen too but the game feels so ****ing slow.. my players running like snails across the pitch. Just drew 3 times in a row where I’ve been leading.
