Lag and rueing missed chances were the most frustrating aspect of this past Weekend League.

For me it's all the clutching and grabbing in matches. I understand it's part of the game but maybe occasionally a foul could be called.

Yeah, and usually it's me getting punished for it, but not the opposition.

So, the previously rumoured 88 OVR Flashback card isn't Vardy, ...

 

... it's Pato.

 

Somewhat underwhelming.

 

But they just can't dish out PL players all the time, so I understand where they are coming from.

Sound. That would be pretty decent for me.

Did the 82+ rated SBC and got Reina who I already had as untradeable and so had to discard. Just given EA another 12 cards.

 

i don’t know why I do it. I guess it is the gambler in us all. House always wins.

Same, just seems an absolute joke at times. It’s a really god TOTW this week so gamble is kind of worth it but makes it more depressing when you get a 78 player. I got Batshuayi for my latest. Come on... 

[MC Prussian]

What is this shit??

 

I take the lead 2-1 in the first half with a one-man advantage.

 

After the break, my players start to move at 50% of their regular speed and I can't really control them, bags of cement... Then I go on to lose 2-3.

 

I feel betrayed.

The game punishes you for having a one-man advantage!  I just won a game with a man less on the pitch.

Inform VVD. Yeow. 

 

Just need Kane again now.

[Devonfox1884]

Pedro is mine! Looking forward to using him.

[Buzzell]

Well lads, I took the risk didn’t I....

Patch is out tomorrow isn’t it? Might be a game changer for you.

88 teams in division 5? All starting to get slightly ****ing silly now.

It's easier than it's ever been to have a good team, you get rewarded just for quantity really, smash out a load of squad battles, SBCs and rivals and even if you're wank you're going to have stuff to play with. 

 

It's a shame match making pays no mind to squad rating admittedly but then you'd probably just get people bronze benching again if they did anyway. 

 

 

Did say I wasn't going to do any untradeables this cos I pissed a lot away doing lots of special cards last year. Caved and did Pato mind. He only cost me about 50k as I had a lot of crap lying round my club including all my weekend rewards. 

 

Quite like him so far.

I have the worst pack luck. Probably opened 300-400 packs this year and not had a single player above 84.

Yeah but even without opening packs it's, what, 50+ for Rivals every week, plus whatever you earn from matches, probably about another 30+ from the WL. And even crap pack luck is still a few extra thousand in there, you can comfortably clear 100k a week without trading. 

 

That's not going to get you icons in a hurry but a week or two and you'll be picking up a Griezmann or Dybala or something who aren't much worse. 

[Osavo]

Built a new PL team and have been on a great run in division 5 tonight, playing 8 and winning 7 of them. Still though, irritating to come up against teams with OTW Ronaldo and Rui Costa at that level.

 

Team is 4-3-1-2

GK: Pickford

 

RB: Ricardo

CB: Stones

CB: Bailly

LB: IF Chilly

 

CM: Oxlade-chamberlain

CM: Fred

CM: Doucoure

 

CAM: Lingard

 

ST: Vardy

ST: IF Arnautovic

 

Vardy is absolutely insane. Plays like a player rated way above 82.

Are you the FIFA equivalent of Chris Hughton?!

I would have loved to see you cope with that handicap.

Seriously, it really pissed me off. Slowing down my players on purpose because the game needs to even out the playing field for the sake of it is pretty low.

[howlinmadmurfdoc]

Just got Fabinho out of the flash SBC, already had him untradeable so £££. Not sure why he sells for more than Fernandinho, Matic and David Silva combined though.

[Finnegan]

Best. 

 

Patch. 

 

Ever. 

 

 

As someone that has always, always, always manually defended and who likes to play possession, this is absolutely divine. 

 

Two things stand out for me. Firstly, watching idiots who haven't read the patch notes try and rush press you and just passing the ball round them haha. The second is that, as someone that manually defends and always uses standing tackle, it's cracking me up how much other people are apparently not used to it. 

 

I used to give away far, far, more fouls than my opponents because they were always tackling with an AI defender. Now I'm getting fouled left, right and centre by people that have no idea how to time their manual tackles

 

This is glorious.

Just remember to turn off ‘constant pressure’ in your tactics if you ever used it. It now fvcks your team up for stamina if you have it on all game. I’m looking forward to seeing how the game plays now with the new patch.

[MC Prussian]

New patch has helped me, too. Can compile more wins now - and even draws, imagine.

 

Game feels more natural and my defense can now carry that title with pride.

 

Also, to the people using constant pressure: The joke's now on you, enjoy your massive drop in stamina, suckers.

 

Btw, stamina drops in general have now increased, no matter what the tactics, keep that in mind. And the fitness cards at the ready.

Never used it at all except for on a few ultra attacking dynamic tactics if I'm desperate at the end of a game.

TOTW predictions for Wednesday's bunch? My suggestions:

 

Bundesliga

Watch Caligiuri make it with three assists against Nuremberg - so much for his League SBC card (unless they make it a RM card this week).

Lukebakio - hattrick for Düsseldorf against Bayern Munich.

Volland - two goals against Stuttgart

Roussillon for scoring the winner against RB Leipzig

Piszczek - scored the 2-1 winner away at Mainz

 

La Liga

Sergi Enrich - Eibar's best player in their 3-0 win against Real Madrid

Santi Mina - two goals for Valencia

Tomas Vaclik - kept a clean sheet for the new La Liga leaders Sevilla

Christian Stuani - two goals for Girona against Espanyol

 

Serie A

Keita Baldé - two goals for Inter against Frosinone

Stefano Sorrentino - kept a clean sheet away at Napoli

Nikola Milenkovic - Fiorentina's best player in a goalless draw at Bologna

 

Premier League

Mitrovic - two goals

Dele Alli

Aaron Mooy - two goals for Huddersfield

Wayne Hennessey - clean sheet away at Manchester United

Michael Keane

 

Other

Kobylanski (Preussen Münster) - hattrick against Braunschweig

Vinicius (Rio Ave) - two goals against Nacional

Karaca (Alanyaspor) - best player in a 5-0 thrashing of Kayserispor

Josué (Kasimpasa) - goal and best player in the home win against Malatyaspor

Janssen (Utrecht) - goal and best player in a 5-0 home win vs. De Graafschap

Jack Grealish - goal and best player in the derby win against Birmingham

Adriano (Spartak) - goal and best player against Samara

I've always used press on heavy touch rather than constant pressure, has the patch screwed that up?
