I have beaten FIFA for 35k. Avoided relegation by a point with a silver team in Single player seasons, now I've won the title with this team.
http://www.futhead.com/17/squads/4806317/
1st minute, put on Emenike (has Finisher chem style, so IG is 83 pace, 83 shooting, 88 physical, 99 shot power, 88 longshots, and 96 strength) and Coleman (who has +6 all stats and so has 80+ everything) at strikers, subbing off Niang and Immobile for Bellerin (at right-back) and Emenike at striker.

I've played 8 matches with that tactic, Emenike has 11 goals and 4 assists, Colemen has 7 goals and 4 assists, and Perisic has 10 goals and 7 assists.

Erm....

I'm now 8-1 and I've just beaten the guy who finished 100th in December allowing him 1 shot on goal... What's going on with me today...

Now 9-1, beat someone with a YouTube channel and 11 subscribers... What's going on? Expect a heavy losing streak soon...

Streaks over :( Lost on penalties to someone who finishes top 150 every month... I don't like my Elo like this. It scares me.

I'm just so average on this FIFA, 5-5 so far. I replaced Leno with Horn (cheapskate), and unsurprisingly he wasn't any better. Neither of them seem to make any actual saves, other than the rare occasions they rush out and surprise the opponent. I can't be arsed spending that much on Neuer.

Grab Fahrmann then!

Bought him and he's slightly better than the other two. It's probably just me being really shit at defending, as I've even changed the whole defence with no success.

The defence you started out with looked shocking tbf. I find defending really easy buy can't attack for toffee, wana combine? :D In the 15 games I've played, discounting extra time, I've only conceded 13 goals...

That MOTM Pjaca appeals to me.

I need MOTM Aguero, MOTM Stindl will be utterly amazing also. MOTM Fekir would fit my 4-2-3-1 like a glove MOTM Escudero will be tried at some point as well.

Worst thing about one squad WL's is when you get a (needless - was 2-0 up, he rage quit at 4-0 but I was trying to quickly get possession back after his corner, missed the ball and broke his legs) red card and have to play the AI -_-

Yeah, my form dropped massively. 9-1 to 17-13 now... Just been matched up against two top 100 players in a row, played 3 of them altogether o.0.

I need to not play the WL when I wake up at 3AM in the morning. It's full of try hards and assholes who have 3mill super teams who play 7 man defences and lob the ball over the top to Ronaldo, Bale and Griezmann.

Was 3-0 up. Then after playing then I won 1 out of 9 games. Now I've played some more this afternoon I'm at 11 wins with 18 left to play. So just getting to Gold 3 and calling it a day.

Yeah I'm doing the same with gold 3 probably as I'm out of time again really, one more win. Started losing when I ditched Aduriz and looked to be more offensive. I love Griezmann but I can't use him as a centre forward as he's not strong enough.

So made an epic come back with 10 in game minutes to go after giving a formation change a switch. Debating switching to the 4-3-1-2 permanently, it's the formation I hate playing against the most and against defensive minded teams the pressure it can offer...

Dembele got upgraded enough for his IF to get hit. Decent pace upgrade on him too

Also TOTGS Kimmich looks so much better with that shooting upgrade

Struggled like hell for half a dozen or so games. Two losses, three draws and one win. Increased my pressure by 15 and next three games are 5-0, 4-1, 4-0 wins at half time with them rage quitting.

Haven't used the last team yet obviously as I haven't got them all but the first two are what I'm using atm. Switch to a 41212 2 at the start of the match. Hazard and Martial as the CAMs and the striker and right wingers as the strikers. Works so well.

Thought Walcott was shite until I changed my tactics as above and he's been scoring and assisting 2 each per game.

I've grabbed me MOTM Fekir also to play at central CAM due to the perfect link with IF Tolisso who looks more mobile than N'Zonzi and it's a way to get Griezmann and Mertens into the same team.

How is he? I enjoyed using his NIF out of position before as a striker in a 532

Any of you done Career Mode? Just sold 88 rated Martial for 91m to Real Madrid and I have a 81 rated 18 year old youth academy signing.

Yes that's why I'm recommending it...

And the berba spin is a really effective move for a 4star skillet.

This. Plus ball roll and fake shot.

Fekir I imagine? Only played a couple of games where I've been given no space at all. One of those games was against http://www.futhead.com/champions/u/35078/iffym0ney/

So yeah. It only finished 2-0 in an even contest. He could finish which was the difference really. Even got a sweet message after the game saying "gg your decent". So, quite pleased with that.

In my divisions run I've also faced:

Unsurprisingly I'm now W1 D1 L4 and about to be relegated from D1... Matchmaking system is smoking crack tonight.

JJH you're not allowed to complain about my teams ever again...

They are?



Lol, Cavani is like the worst SBC yet.


Yeah didn't like his NIF or even his SIF much and it's not like his SBC is rated better than his existing cards. He isn't that expensive if you have the cards already but the required players are going for stupid prices atm. Picked up a MOTM Aboubakar with what I got for my Palermo players so I can work him and my untradeable IF Quaresma into a team sometime.
