Or did that update just make my game easier ? That's also possible

Might have finally cracked this. Is chemistry really important ? Changed my team to worse players but with better chemistry and changed my formation and approach a bit and I've gone from close games usually ending in draws to successive 4-0 wins 

Chemistry is huge in FUT. I'd always go for a worse team with 100 chem.

Accidentally just bin a united kit for 5k. Ugghhhh.

Yes mate  it's a fundamental.

Played a kid last night, OTW Sanches & Stones. Front 3 of Musa, Origi & Mane all with chemistry cards on.

 

My Bundesliga budget team smashed him 6-1

 89's ok. I don't think having 100 is the be all and end all but it's got to be high and 100 defo helps.

 

I played a guy who had 50 the other day (Totally insane team at about 83/84) and he was a very decent player you could tell, yet he lost 4-0 because his players had the touch of a donkey and a shot the under normal circumstance would of at least been followed by a striker pinged off the post literally rolled all the way across the line hit the other post and was cleared. No luck at all.

Basically, you want your players to have 7 chem minimum. At 7 they perform to the stats on their card.

 

Above 7 they get bonuses, so 10 is ideal, below 7 they get penalties.

 

Ronaldo on 1 chem is still better than Josh Low on 10. At 3 individual chemistry and 50 team chemistry, he'd see a -7 drop to all stats.

 

At 100 team chemistry but 3 individual, that becomes -1.

 

At 10 individual and 100 team, about +4 all stats.

 

 

If you look up a player on futhead you can see the impact of chemistry and chemistry styles. It makes a huge difference. A hunter card and max chemistry on Shinji Okazaki gives him stats comparable to some 84 rated rare strikers.

Nah your higher league than me I was only in 10 at the time 

 

Struggling to get near the PS to be honest. Started a draft mode offline on Sunday, finished it at about midnight last night

I haven't touched the game since our last clubs night, just don't feel the urge to play FIFA 17 like I used to with 16

So talk to me about Chem cards the finners because I'm probably going to need them when I finally get out of the daldrums.

 

Hunter card I am presuming references Alex Hunter and given how much it gets used I guess it's sweaty finishing and Pace boosts

 

I see you use Shadow alot I'm guess that's a Def/Phy Pace boost.

 

As an Avid 4-4-2 man I am thinking about using a Artist card on Jack Wilshire....worthwhile? I've got a sentinel and architect cards which I'm thinking of selling......I don't often sprint with my CM's.

My OH is just starting to get into it so I was helping him with one of the SBCs, buying him a couple of cheap players to finish it off. Searched and found one that had a low bid price, but for whatever reason I panicked and sniped the non rare Argentinian league player for 10k instead of 350. All while he was sat right next to me watching in horror. 

 

Had to buy him a few fifa points as an apology haha. Packs were all rubbish anyway :') 

[Finnegan]

Get yourself on futhead. Find a player and press chemistry just under the card graphic.

 

Hunter is pace and shooting.

Sniper is finishing and dribbling.

Shadow is pace and defending.

 

Generally speaking, there are cards with two bonuses which are about 10 to 15 each. Then there's some with three bonuses which are eight to ten each.

 

The reason I say check futhead is that it's not a straightforward +10 across all of shooting, for example. It might be +5 finishing but +15 shot power and +7 positioning or something.

Yep, thinking Shadow back four maybe Artistic and architect in the midfield (I really don't need pace there if your trying to break through the middle of the park sprinting your doing something wrong IMO) sweaty Hunters on the wings and up front.

Hawk is handy if your strikers already have pace and likewise sniper for the wingers.

 

There's a defensive one that I think has good pace, strength and defending. Look up anchor maybe? Good for CBs.

Slimani atm, he needs pace  

 

To be honest divisions I'm in off and online at the moment I'm pissing it with Zieler being the only one with a chem card....army of loan mercenaries is helping like.

I don't get to play it v often but am definitely improving now. Really enjoying the PS4 in general. I like Destiny's gunplay

FIFA with a bit of practice and understanding is a pretty accessible game, helps that all the FIFA gods have probably buggered off to the higher divisions now as well. 

[MC Prussian]

Loving the SBC challenges of right now - but I'm not going near the ones where you can win untradeable Gold, Silver or Bronze cards, as they seem pretty pointless to me.

[CKB]

I'm quite enjoying the game, I've mainly been playing seasons online and while it does have the annoying usual FIFA shite, I do believe it is a better game than 16 

 

Mahrez as a CAM (free roam) is deadly for me in a 4-2-1-3/4-3-3 hybrid

They are pointless. I did it and got Lacazette which is untradable. Doesn't fit in my squad whatsoever and just sits there in my club.

Sure but Lacazette is a great card that'd cost you a bit of wedge.

 

You consistently get cards that good from the two rare player packs. In fact, the best players I've packed came from gold upgrade SBC.

 

Yes it's frustrating when you don't want them and can't sell them but then just use them again in the SBC.

 

I got Barzagli, Lichsteiner, Jovetic and others for my serie a team doing that. I've also packed Rashford, the Cameroon centre half from Lyon and a bunch of other tidy cards, all untradeable.
