FIFA 18

[GLC]

Elite one on PC in the squad builder thingy. I actually like this game mode! 

 

Vardy is a machine! 42 goals in 31 games!

A lot of people moaning about the defending online. Anybody finding it much different to last year?

 

 

People are moaning because they're used to letting the AI defend for them. The skill gap has been closed i think this year you'll see different people in FUT Champions top 100s etc... 

 

If you know the game of football you'll be laughing on here instead of the ols way of favouring sweaty people.

IF Martinez, played 14, scored 22, assisted 11.

 

I'm in love. That's very prolific for me, my best striker usually averages just under a goal a game. I got more or less one for one with Icardi 88 on the last version but nothing like this. 

 

Gio Dos Santos has 10 goals and 15 assists in 13 playing with him. 

 

Almiron behind has 9 goals and 10 assists in 17.

Anyone played pro clubs? Any better?

[howlinmadmurfdoc]

Don't get the game till tomorrow but just put most of the Leicester side I'd built into the 8 nation SBC and got Salah in the pack. Must've been about 8k of players used for 25k back.

[Finnegan]

Anyone preordered digitally off amazon before? My code doesn't seen to work on Xbox live. 

 

It says make sure I'm following the instructions. Wut. 

 

Is it because it's not actually technically out yet? I'm sure it said I could play from the 26th (icon edition.)

Yeah, those who disagreed with the moaners were making that exact point. Good to hear a couple of you on here back that up

Show us ya team's then lads. Here's mine currently, obviously haven't got the game yet but will chuck some Fifa points at it when I get the game tomorrow.

Not bad at all considering you haven't spent a penny.

Haven't touched the game yet. All from free packs and trading in the web app but I'm happy with it as a starter team for when I finally get to play.

 

Was looking forward to having Craig Shakespeare as manager but he's a bloody silver card

[howlinmadmurfdoc]

Made a relative shedload buying discard price silver Mexicans and putting them up for 400 coins BIN

Got about 20k in my trade pile, just need to buy Kasper and Vardy.

[Mrfox452]

How have you guys managed to buy players if you haven't got the game yet?

I had this problem last year. Think you needed to play a couple of games or something before you could use the market but this year I downloaded the app and its let me have access to it. 

[dbtcity]

Took the advice of a few of you and invested in If Martinez to use as a super sub... he felt so good I then had to buy if Asad and played him on 7 chem then slotted Almiron into cam to get a solid link for the trio and dear lord all 3 are pulling up trees 

[dbtcity]

My prem team I rotate between the pair to save some spunking fitness cards... slapped £50 worth of fifa points on getting me about 7k points, saving the last 4K till the otw cards hopefully drop 2mora, really enjoying squad battles and I just qualified for fut champs... safe to say I’m going all in again this year ?

[DB11]

There's me thinking loads of posts some people must have got the game early I wonder what it's like but nope just shitty FUT taking over again

[HankMarvin]

Vardys been impressive in online seasons and said battles 

[HankMarvin]

I put most of my expensive players up overnight for more than they sell for 

 

will snipe ones to watch tomorrow 

 

got about 400k from trading 

 

apart from rom vardy and rashford

I had a Liga MX team behind the front three with Gio Dos Santos instead of Giovinco. It was arguably more fun but I was getting shit on at the back and I will be building a Serie A team anyway. 

 

Martinez up to 30 in 22 and since bringing him in, Giovinco has 14 in 12. Not bad! 

[Ashley]

Saying that about defending @Anorak what year was it when we had Beckford and Nugent upfront? Yuki Abe, Neil Danns etc and had a absoulete worldie squad in game..... 

 

That had defending like this year! 

[kingfox]

Got a copy this morning, just had a quick play.

 

I'm gonna go as far as saying this is the best FIFA game so far, gameplay feels more realistic this year, see people moaning about the defending, guess those people are just shit.
