That's what it seems to be. Live Producer for FIFA and Ultimate Team (@TheRealGraoully) responded to some guy earlier saying that he played against the real Enrique and that's why he had the card. Not sure why it's now up for sale for 10million though!

Nice team, you get your coins from trading or got lucky with SIF Messi in a pack and sell? :P Do you find they play much worse with poor chemistry?

Trading, and lots of it

Best I got from a pack was Torres. Spent like 250k once on gold packs during one of the happy hours and got absolutely nobody. Haven't bought a pack since.

As for the chemistry, I'm not sure if the players are bad because of the chemistry or that I'm just a bad player

That's because I'm not really used to playing 4-3-3. I find I'm conceding a lot more goals and have resorted to playing ultra defensive in some games. My other teams (Serie A and Barclays PL) are 4-1-2-1-2 and I play much better with that formation tbh. That's why I'm thinking of changing Ronaldo to LM and Robben to RM and just build a 4-1-2-1-2 team around those two.

Why would the market crash? Is it because of an influx of all new players who get the game on christmas day?

jamescd · 23-12-2011 10:32PM

Yup. More players and maybe all the little kiddies will be getting Microsoft Points from santy

So in short, a lot more packs will be opened and the market will be flooded with players. That's the theory anyway lol

Sabre0001 · 24-12-2011 01:17AM

Daily gifts are back. Hurry before EA goes grinch-like once again!

Ferris_Bueller · 28-12-2011 08:17PM

Guys I'm new to FIFA 12 and this ultimate team. Have never used it before the other day and so far have only played 8 games. I don't really understand it though. Seemed pretty simple to me, play matches, earn points, buy better players. Signed Jermaine Defoe there today. But then there are loads of other things, manager, coaches, training etc. how important are all of these things and what do they improve? Also, what is more important to have, a good team or a high chemistry? Some guy absolutely hammered me online there and had 100% chemistry, but that could be just coincidence!

Also, I saw a screenshot up the page of players being bought for like 13,000 coins :O what the hell, Defoe only cost me about 700 and he is rated 81, how can players be valued at a couple of thousand?

If someone could give me the low down it would be hugely appreciated!

Good chemistry is the most important I would say. I'll throw out a couple of tips and hopefully others will add some more.

I'll talk mainly about chemistry and how it improves in relation to players.

- Formation. Each player has a preferred formation and ideally you should have a squad of all 4-4-2 for example if you are playing 4-4-2 and so on.
Having a manager for this formation improves the chemistry of the team also.

However you can get away with slight variations to the formation. You can get good chemistry if say you have a CB with a 4-1-2-1-2 formation but you are playing 4-4-2 as that player is still playing in a back 4 rather than a back 3 or 5 etc.

-Nationality. Having players from same nationality boosts chemistry.

-League. Having players from same league boosts chemistry and this is usually what most players set out to do. Pick a league such as BPL, La Ligue, Seria A or whatever and gather a squad from that league. Players playing in same team will have an even higher chemistry rating.

You asked about prices and the best way of explaining it is supply and demand. Its a market, and the more people want something the more they will pay for it. It all ties down to people wanting to build their squad like I mentioned above. The Premier League for example is one of the more inflated markets with players going for high prices in comparison to similar counterparts in say the German League.

They're are plenty of ways of making money through trading in FUT so have a look on Youtube and I think Copper Pipe, who posts in this thread, has a link to his blog on it somewhere.

jamescd · 28-12-2011 09:11PM

Adding to what Knex said, individual chemistry is more important. Having 100 team chemistry is good, but ideally you'd want to have 9 chemistry between all your players. If you want to achieve this, you'll have to buy players in the right formation or apply formation cards.

As for your other questions, training cards improve your player's attributes for one game only. Obviously a +15 pace card will add 15 pace to the player that you use it on for the next game. Coaches give you a bonus when you use training cards. If you have a coach that says for example "Pace +15%" stored in your club, then when you use a +15 pace card on a player, he will receive +17 pace instead of +15 because of the 15% bonus. If you don't use training cards, then you don't need to buy coaches.

If you think 13,000 coins is a lot, then you have a long way to go

Messi cost me 570,000. I have hundreds of players that I don't use which I got from opening packs. PM me if you want some, I'll help you get started.

Ferris_Bueller · 28-12-2011 09:27PM

Thanks a million lads. Appreciate the help and the advice! No wonder things were going so pear shaped then, got battered by a lad 6-1 in my last game too, he had 100% team chemistry and I felt like my players could not get into the game whatsoever.

Might take you up on that offer jamescd! Check your PMs :P

Copper_pipe · 28-12-2011 09:28PM

Il give u 10k if you are on xbox.

Axwell · 29-12-2011 03:58AM

Will gladly take any donations people have to offer too :P

Charlie Haughy · 29-12-2011 04:05AM

Any average premier league players going around for free as im trying to set up a prem league team, and they're really expensive!

jamescd · 29-12-2011 07:32AM

@ Charlie: I got loads of prem players which i don't need. Your on xbox right ?

@ Axwell : I'll sort ya out too

But it'll have to wait until I get home from work later :pac:

Sabre0001 · 29-12-2011 09:28AM

Geez, I'll take stuff if it's going for free

To add, work on your defending - defence wins matches. Get into the habit of getting AI to pressure man with ball and take control of tracking the run yourself. The new defensive system takes a bit of practice, but it pays off!

In Ultimate Team, you can get away with more than in normal games (as a result of good chemistry) - expect some teams / players to try 35 yard shots.

Pace is incredibly important - possibly too important. Nesta, while a good defender, isn't the greatest buy in Ultimate Team - gets left for dead.

If I play you and you have a manager card that adds nothing to chemistry, it irks me. Get a manager in the right formation or nationality (ONLY in the cases of a singular national side).

Play the AI tournaments - gets you used to playing with your team, Ultimate Team and gets you coins. Can work on your chem here before taking it online...Plus they're less stressful 99% of the time.

I'd advise starting at Bronze and working your way up / starting over at silver to make a new team. Means you can get used to the game without Messi-Ronaldo Barca/Real supersquads. Also, there are INCREDIBLY good players in lower leagues.

If you want to make trade profit, learn some of the markets. Would advise against buying packs for the most part. Usually not worth it (but at the same time, you can strike it lucky).

To answer your question about chemistry vs good team - chemistry EVERY time. Has more of an impact at bronze and silver levels, but can still turn the tide at gold.

Copper_pipe · 29-12-2011 11:31AM

The tip I use the most to make coins is bid 250 on all gold players and discard for 300+ everytime. I have 234k now and a Premier league silver team

How much would you earn a day doing that?

How many coins have you?

If my calculations are correct you get a return of 20% of what you put in

Knex* · 29-12-2011 12:17PM

I've started recently buying players say in a RW position but in a 4-4-2 formation or a 4-1-2-1-2 formation. Then buying RW-RM position card and boost the contract of the player as well. Can usually make a decent size profit in one sale with that method.

Depends on the player though and how their price differs between a 4-4-2 RM and a 4-4-2 RW and so on.
