FIFA 17

[glenny_fox]

just finished the league and nation hybrid squad builder challenge. got a 50k pack (12 rare players), and got Dybala which i've just sold for 179k so I should be able to make a decent team now.

 

record is currently 27-2-6 so not doing too bad at all.

That's the formation I use. Unreal, work rate is massive. Also noticed the 'better' players always attack in less numbers if that makes sense?

Played 5 more games and won all 5 easily. This formation is near enough cheating, would recommend to anybody especially as my record prior to using it was really bad.

I use 5212 as well. I was leaking goals all over the place and couldn't buy a win with a flat back four.

 

My "main" team I've swapped back to a 41212(2) as I wanted more bodies in the middle. That's the team full of gold and IF  argies I posted a page back.

 

But I actually much, much prefer this team despite its obvious weaknesses:

 

 

It just feels so much more balanced, even though the work rates are similar in the two teams also.

How do you get the companion app to work? Have tried that and the web app but it says I haven't created my FUT and security question (I have).

 

Can only assume the account logged in on the PS4 is different, but can't see how to logout of this? Don't think it is anyway, as I'm pretty sure I've only ever set one EA account up?

If you can keep the ball and play possession football you shouldn't need more bodies in the middle to be honest with the 5-2-1-2 'dice' formation.

You cant log out a psn account from origin. I had this problem, but a 10 minute phone call sorted it out. they made me a new origin account that I use just for FIFA web app

Thanks mate, I'll give that a try.

 

 

[Buzzell]

I converted to the 5-2-1-2 formation and now I'm getting consecutive wins. Great formation. 

[kingcarr21]

Oh my word the website works for ultimate team at work. I'm going to smash this during work hours  

[Munshi]

4-2-3-1 with the wide players works perfectly for me. Won my first 9 games on UT seasons with my Bundesliga side. 

 

Thorgan Hazard and Timo Werner are amazing.

[Finnegan]

I just can't get behind formations with wingers and one striker. He feels far too isolated.

 

Which is odd because all I played last year was 433(5) with a Liga MX side. Made the same team this year and just couldn't get on.

The EA Club thing winds me up no end. A) I've lost about 50 levels due to switch from Xbox to PS B) It keeps logging me out mid match, so I hardly ever get any XP after matches, which is infuriating, so have access to next to no coin boosts so it's taking ages to get a team together.

 

I've noticed you get rewards for UT by playing the Journey though so might just stick to that/career/online seasons and then take advantage of the rewards once it is done.

[stix]

My companion app has completely gone to shit. I can't swap any player in my squad, change formation or bid in the transfer market. Tried un/re-installing the app but it's still the same. 

 

F*****g thing

[Guest Mee-9]

Got this for myself just now.

 

Here comes the bundesliga XI. ChandlerBingFC is back in the game.

The coins I'm getting for a  match in FUT, without boosts is about 400. It seems my DNF's have carried over, which is bad because most of those were dodgy connections. 

 

As far as the journey is concerned, I realise last night that FIFA has tricked me into playing career mode

[Samilktray]

Really struggling to get into career mode this year, my Leicester team is doing nothing for me so far. Not sure if I've become too attached to pro clubs tbh

But i should have boosts  that's the annoying thing, dodgy EA servers going all the way back to FIFA 15 are the reason I'm not about 15 levels higher than I am, I don't get why it keeps doing it  I have a few 200 ones I am making full use of.

 

Yes, about standard vs the AI, which is a bit shit, given every 3/4 games I have to wax probably 600 on a fitness card (swapping players out to the bench no longer seems to for some reason?? or is that just me) and then there are contracts to consider. I am getting there slowly have Albrighton Huth Fuchs Okazaki King and utilising James Mcarthy on loan for now but not going online without a decent team and it's a rather painfully slow process. 

 

Probably not helping myself but rather stubbornly refusing to spend any money on FIFA points at all but cest la vie .

400 is about right. Your DNF doesn't carry over, 0.63 is the cap for fut divisions for some inexplicable reason. I think it was originally to incentivize the cups a little but now they're gone it's a bit pointless.

[Manwell Pablo]

It's more than 400 for an online win is it not?

That sucks man, I'll see if I can send you a 1000 coin boost. I'm spending my coins on packs only, Using the players I get to make the best team I can and playing anyway, Deck building challenges have been a good way to get more cards and packs.

Ok, thats pretty bad but at least it's right.

[kingcarr21]

now i have the website going im snapping up kits (Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Leicester etc) for 150 coins and selling for say 500 Buy it now. Making a killing especially when you can list 50 items.

 

Surprising Red Bulls kit goes for quite a lot and people don't realise. Some are selling at like 300 coins and it fetches 1000 easily

[Beliall]

Cheers for the tip

Now if you could do that, you'd be an utter legend.....Think you can buy each item for yourself once and give to a friend once (so you wont lose any boosts). So it depends entirely how much of that silly fifa coin currency you got (different to fifa UT Coins) If you've got loads to spare I'll take all the help I can get.......don't want to leave you short though so up to you.

See, if you were on Xbox I could hook you up.
