Announcing /r/FIFA's FIRST EVER BEST OF 2019! Nominations and Voting NOW OPEN. Posted: 19 Dec 2019 11:22 AM PST Hello /r/FIFA! Welcome to the Nominations and Voting Thread for our first ever Best Of Awards. We as a Mod Team thought it would be nice to celebrate some some of the quality activity that's gone on in our subreddit over the last 12 months - and let's face it, despite what can seem like a constant sea of negativity there's a few waves of good here and there. Plus, it's nice to have a bit of positivity on the front page for a change. The voting categories are as follows: Overall User of the Year Post of the Year (serious) Post of the Year (humorous) Most Helpful Post Goal of the Year Each winner in the above categories will be given a Reddit award. The categories below will not be given Reddit awards, and are just for fun. Mod of the Year Best FUT Card Formation of the Year Most Fun FUT Card Best SBC - shoutout /u/gqpdream305 FUT Investment of the Year - shoutout /u/TheTinRam Best FIFA Mode This post will serve as the nomination and voting thread for each Best Of category. There will be top level comments on the below post for each Best Of category. To submit a nomination, reply to the appropriate comment with a link to the post or comment in question. For those who may be unfamiliar with the concept of a Year End award, eligibility for an award started January 1st, 2019, and ended December 19th, 2019 (the day this was first posted). This means that posts/content from both FIFA 19 and FIFA 20 can be nominated. Keep the following in mind while nominating a post: Submit nominations only as a reply to the relevant top level comment, as other comments will be removed to keep voting simple. Don't nominate your own posts! Don't nominate posts made after the creation of this thread. The nominations will be set to contest mode, meaning that all comments will be sorted randomly and no scores will be displayed until the winners are announced. Should anyone not believe the final vote for whatever reason, I will take a screenshot of each winning nomination before the winners are announced at a date to be determined, but most likely mid-to-late January. Happy Voting! The Mod Team. also thank you /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway for some words of his that I used. submitted by /u/Davelbast [link] [comments]

[IDEA] What EA should do for upcoming rivals challenges in Icon Swaps Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:16 AM PST I dont know if this has been suggested or not but I'll still explain it to you. One of my favourite Dutch FIFA YouTubers, FCRoelie, suggested this and I found it a real good sollution for division droppers in rivals. Why cant EA make the challenge so that you need to earn rivals points with 1st owner teams? For example earn 3000 rivals points with 11 Bundesliga starters. This way you dont need wins to complete this challenge and it will roughly take the same amount of time. What do you guys think? Edit: formatting submitted by /u/MaxLamborghini [link] [comments]

I dont get people complaining about Moi Gómez, it was about time we got a special LaLiga midfielder Posted: 30 Dec 2019 05:13 AM PST After only having: Futmas Modric Halloween Kroos Halloween Rodriguez Futmas Fekir OTW de Jong Halloween Carvalho UCL Live Partey Futmas Cazorla Futmas Vidal Halloween Navas Futmas Guedes I started to worried we'd never have a choice in midfielders. Thanks ea! submitted by /u/DarkhunterNL [link] [comments]

Raging that they rereleased Schweinsteiger Posted: 30 Dec 2019 10:34 AM PST Dude cost me 250,000 coins now he's a single 84 squad? It's such a slap in the face to people who sacrifice coins early in the game, it's fine in like May/June - but it's December ffs... Edit: to all the goobers saying it's no different to depreciation on neymar etc. this is an end of an era card - it's a limited time sbc which was advertised as a one off, expiring sbc, so of course Bayern fans will pay over the odds for it. To then repeat the sbc 2 and a half months later is a complete scam and removes any trust in future early premium SBCs. submitted by /u/patosh22 [link] [comments]

I'm going to cry if I come up against Semedo one more time Posted: 30 Dec 2019 01:11 PM PST Everyone has their boogyman player- Kanté, Virgil, Vardy, Ter Stegan. Let me tell you about the man who haunts my dreams, Nélson Semedo. Every single time this guy pops up on the loading screen, I'm fully aware I'm not getting down the wing. He terrorizes my attackers, making insane slides, throwing them to the pitch, and spitting in their faces. He laughs at the referee as he strips Mané of the ball, and bombs down the pitch, murdering my left back for fun on the way. I played against him over 15 times this weekend. He is my reason to fear FIFA this year. He is Nélson Semedo, cold blooded killer. submitted by /u/ProcrastinatorAJC [link] [comments]

How to dominate Legendary Squad Battles. Posted: 30 Dec 2019 06:21 AM PST Hey! As we got new Icon Swaps Objectives few days ago I would like to help people who may struggle a little with offline section. In my opinion there are two main factors that will greatly improve your results: If there is World Class SB requirement - you should do it on Legendary anyway. AI just don't like to take any risk on WC and it's way harder to break their defense. I know a lot of people who were struggling vs WC but were able to beat Legendary consistently after just few games. You have to understand how is AI defending in this game EA programmed it that AI is able to control just single player (so just as real person but AI will very rarely press with second man). Thanks to this rule You can predict where and how AI will try to take ball from You. I will now try to describe basics to it and add some videos to better represent what I mean in each situation: AI controlled player will almost always use Jockey Defending (holding LT while defending). You have to remember that you don't have to rush anything as he will be passive for few seconds after you receive pass (unless he is very close to your player - then he will try to take ball away from you). Simple left stick movements will grant you some space and time. Use this behavior to your advantage. Never rush your attacks unless it's 100% 1on1 counter attack. You can keep possession this way quite easily. Your main goal is to pass around and create as much space as possible between AI defensive 4 and their midfield - RED CIRCLE zone. You are looking for a pass to your attacker who is just inside the penalty box. AI is more cautious inside their penalty box so you have a little bit more reaction time to either pass for a easier chance or just to dribble last defender as there will be no time for AI to switch to another player. This situation there were no much option to pass around so I decided to dribble and it was successful. Another example where space around Penalty Box was stacked pretty quickly after I recover the ball. Being patient will eventually create 1on1 vs defender and easy scoring opportunity Pulling players out of position to create space. There will be plenty situations where there is way too many players around opposition penalty box to pass inside and create chance. Then it's best to pass back and pull player with you. This will create just enough space to play simple one-two passes and create shooting situation. Switch sides to create space in another area. You want to move your attacks from the middle of the pitch to sides of their penalty box. Doing it once or twice during attack should create a lot of free space on one side which could lead to fast and easy finish. First example, second example. Learn few basics tricks. Often times You will face last defender and it's very important to being able to create some extra space by utilizing skill moves. You don't have to be fancy and just few simple ones will be enough. Fake shoot, Roulette, Heel to heel and Drag back (best inside penalty box) are your best options. Just practice with these and you will notice how it will just broke AI completely at times. Good timing for through balls. These are just destroying AI but it's very important to time them correctly. Often you want to stop the ball and wait for your player to get better position. As I said earlier you have to remember that there will be only one player controlled by AI and he won't attack you if you just received ball. You can just stop and your other attacker can simply run by him and no one will try to prevent his run. Notice how Djaniny stood for a sec without any pressure from AI controlled player so Giuliano could get better position. Very similar situation but this time a little further from penalty box. Zaha is creating a lot of space for Neymar by simply slowing down after receiving the ball. Last example where few fake shoot stops and through balls created a deadly counter attack I advice You to use 4-1-2-1-2(2) (+attacking fullbacks) and 3-5-2 formations as these provide a lot of options in middle of the pitch but also wing play if necessary. You don't need any fancy tactics. Standard balanced/balanced with default instructions will work just fine. Just pay attention to different AI defending patterns and be patient during your attacks. I also suggest to play only bad overall/chem teams at first as ~80 overall/100 chem teams are significantly more difficult and you need some practice to beat them with bad objective team. I hope it will help some people. Feel free to ask questions and good luck with your objectives. submitted by /u/Kristo93 [link] [comments]

I Did the Stupidest Thing I've Ever Done in FUT Posted: 30 Dec 2019 02:41 PM PST Last night, after a weekend of stressful games, I got the 6th Icon Swaps card. In the morning I decided to do the Van Der Sar SBC cause it allows me to keep my squad and have Virgil on full chem. This morning I go to do the SBC and I only have 5 swaps cards. I contact EA support and, after an hour or so of chatting, he tells me I put one of the cards into an SBC and there's no way I can get it back. So next time you do something dumb and feel bad about it, remember someone else mindlessly submitted a Futswap card into a random SBC. submitted by /u/DrewBaron80 [link] [comments]
