    My result from 6 Baby icon SBCs

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 01:39 PM PST

    You can literally buy Mid Figo AND SIF Bruno Fernandes to strong link with him for cheaper than the cost of the Mid Figo SBC

    There is a working replacement for the Squad Battles Fake Shot. Works on All Difficulties including Ultimate.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 12:33 PM PST

    It's pretty simple.

    1) Get the ball.

    2) Pass back to your keeper.

    3) Pass into empty space with your keeper.

    4) Don't touch anything else.

    5) Your keeper will chase his own "loose ball" and the defense will not press you. Even on ultimate.

    Here's your proof.

    One game Freeze Sané review

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 02:11 PM PST

    After posting a couple times on here trying to get input on who was the perfect cdm to shift to 3rd cb in a 3atb I said screw all your opinions and threw in my untradeable freeze sane so I could finally get RTTF zakaria (my favorite cdm I'm not putting him at cb) on full chem. Here's my review after 1 game

    Height:650/10

    This dude is big. Really big. Like so big he makes everyone around him look like giovinco big.

    Pace: Adequate. But it doesn't matter. He's so big if he gets caught 10 yards behind he striker he just sticks his leg out and gets the ball back.

    Passing: every pass is a short pass when your legs cover the whole field so he could have 0 passing and it would still be good.

    Defending:He's big. Those legs stretch out and just grab the ball from anywhere in the box. Opponent using players like Ben cheddar and mbappe who always get rebounds? Doesn't matter, Sane's third leg has already blocked the ball away before the rebounds get back to them.

    Physical: HE's BIG. Really big. Cant beat the Empire State building on a header. Cant get bodied off the ball when you have the mass of a small planet

    I don't know what else you want me to say. SANE = really really really ducking big. Use him, trust me.

    6 base icon packs...

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 04:51 PM PST

    Don't think that he doesn't see you...

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 05:44 PM PST

    You are playing FIFA. The score is 1-1 and the time is near. You are in the middle of the pitch, controlling your CDM who passes it to your CAM. He is skillful and is horny for an anklebreaker. He is showing off some skills, to pay the bills... But the opponent is very cautious, waiting like a predator in the bushes for the right opportunity to kill. After some minutes, he decides he has jockeyed enough and goes in for the tackle. Fortunately for you, he guesses the wrong way and your CAM leaves him in the dust.

    Now he only has 2 CB's to do the job. His palms are sweaty, his knees are weak, and his arms are heavy. He knows that the unholy 90th minute is upon us. In panic, he overcommits with his defender. You laugh. This is a beginner's mistake. You NEVER control your centre-backs. A simple 1-2 does the job, and now only the goalkeeper stands in your way, between you and scenes of glorious emotions.

    You relax and you take a deep breath, knowing the guardians between the 2 vertical aluminium posts this year are worse than a sunday leagues reserve goalkeeper. It is over. Finally after a hard fought battle, you have earned the victory. You press the shoot button....

    But then it happens... You sit there, shocked beyond belief.

    "What?! How did this happen?!!!" , you say to yourself.

    You can't understand what you just saw.

    "I swear i was 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper!! WHERE DID HE COME FROM?!! HOW DID HE BLOCK THAT"

    Oh sweet summerchild. You know nothing. He has abilities you cannot comprehend. He was there the whole time! Even if you didn't notice, Joe Gomez was always there! Lurking in the shadows. Aaaaand you just lost 3-1 in the 90th minute.

    The real lesson from "Golden Goal" ...

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 08:23 AM PST

    When both sides play wide open, offensive football, this game is wildly entertaining.

    Honestly don't know why we wouldn't all play this way in WL too ... not GG, just quick, offensive, with purpose.

    Even when my opponents don't quit it's basketball on grass, you are never really out of it and I'm having a blast. Honestly, I have not enjoyed playing this much in a looooong time.

    Anyone hate position change promos like Freeze?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 12:45 AM PST

    I'm all for changing the position of players from LW-ST etc. as long as the stat ratio is similar. But when you start turning Veratti into a pacy winger with no defending and a LB into a striker, you might as well use fake names.

    You know what is seriously underutilised? Max chemistry.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 03:34 PM PST

    What if objective players every so often could be earned in Max Chemistry mode? They could still put parameters on for rating or leagues or nations but Max Chemistry is basically the only mode that lets us put together whatever team we want with no penalty.

    Something like: Min 3 Leagues, 3 First Owner, 3 Nations and off you go.

    So why not give us a couple of objective cards through Max Chem? They tried it with No Rules which was ok but kinda shit at the same time, but I think that's the one mode where they could really let us have a bit of fun throwing together fun teams without worrying about links. And if you're worried about a team of ridiculously high rated cards that don't link like Neymar and Ronaldo appearing all the time they could just put a squad rating limit on it, problem solved.

    Either way I feel like they're missing a good opportunity to have a bit of fun, I mean, the mode is there, why not utilize it?

    REVIEWING EVERY FUT FREEZE PLAYER - D1/G1 PLAYER

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 07:40 AM PST

    Introduction

    I usually finish WL at Gold 1 with a couple games left over, or if I'm busy I usually manage 14-0 to clinch Gold 3, I'm currently playing at around 2000 SR in Rivals and if SBMM is in friendlies, then that should also be taken into account.

    As something different, I told myself I'd like to have at least 1 FUT Freeze player in every one of my Icon Swaps team, while also playing as much draft as possible and also testing some in Rivals/Champs too. I am fortunate enough that I could afford every player from the Promo and I completed all the loans for Icon Swaps use.

    I have provided a brief review of each player, however if you have any more questions, feel free to comment!

    Hope this is helpful

    Sadio Mane

    At 2.34M he's obviously the spearhead of this promo and rightly so, he's amazingly fast and has really good shooting on both feet. Dribbling is sensational and the change in work rates does help him at the ST position especially. However, upon saying all this the minor upgrades are not worth an extra 2million over his IF. But if you have the coins and really want to use this card, he is sensational.

    Overall rating - 10/10

    Value For Coins - 6/10

    Casemiro

    Is he better than your Varane and Gomez? No. But, he's extremely physical and strong in the tackle, especially if you can jockey well and time your tackle both standing and sliding. His physicals are extremely good and the High/Low work rates paired with the very good passing stats, means he is the second best CB in the LaLiga behind the cyborg himself (Varane). If you have used Desailly, he is a very similar player, personally I preferred Casemiro though.

    Overall Rating - 8/10

    Value For Coins - 7/10

    Verratti

    Now this one surprised me, his dribbling feels a lot better than his already high stats, the ball just sticks to his feet, very similar to Messi. Being 5'5" and having a unique body type, it only helps his low centre of gravity and LS dribbling with this guy is genuinely crazy. He doesn't have crazy shot power, but his positioning and finishing is good. Passing wise, he is also really nice and I didn't find any issues with it. Now, physicals, basically non-existent. While the height helped with dribbling, it doesn't help with his already low physicals, he just gets bodied off the ball whenever a defender is near him, and that Varane you come up against every game will destroy him 9 times out of 10. If you want a fun card, it's a good pickup with good links too, and that CAM position is great for him

    Overall Rating - 7/10

    Value For Coins - 8/10

    Bernardo Silva

    When I seen the Freeze team, this is the one I was most excited for because I used his regular gold for a while at the beginning of the game, switching him to CAM. The obvious is that his dribbling is really good and the upgraded 4 star weak foot really helps with his already good shooting. Passing wise, one of the best I've used. His physicals are so bad and up there with the worst I've ever used, he gets bullied by all midfielders and defenders. His change in work rates may favour some, but I personally preferred the High/High of his regular. The pace even with a hunter, did not feel anywhere near as fast as it should have. It's safe to say I was disappointed with this one. If you need a Portuguese PL player, just get Bruno.

    Overall Rating - 7/10

    Value For Coins - 6/10

    Lautaro Martinez

    Wow. Still in my team because of how good he is. Apart from CR7, he is hands down the best Serie A ST, and he feels really similar to CR7. A mix of pace, good and responsive dribbling and top tier physicals make this guy a perfect ST imo. His change of strong foot was a bit strange at first, but when you get used to it, he has a rocket for a foot, and his weak foot feels good too, as expected no problems with his shooting. His passing is average at best, but his dribbling is so good for a guy of this size and physcals. The work rates compliment this card so well. I cannot recommend him enough, even at that 430k price tag, I think its fair, especially compared with CR7.

    Overall rating - 10/10

    Value For Coins - 9/10

    Marquinhos

    Ligue 1 and even Brazil lacks good CDM's, Marquinhos is the answer to that. Fast, good passer and feels really responsive for his size and position. As expected defensively and physically, he's excellent and has the perfect work rates for a stay back CDM. If you can craft or complete this card for under 150k, I'd definitely recommend picking him up. Plus the hyperlink to Neymar and strong link to Mbappe, means he will be easy to fit into a team for a long time coming.

    Overall Rating - 10/10

    Value For Coins - 8/10

    Hazard

    This card was strange, at first I couldn't get on with him as a ST or even CAM, but after getting used to him and pushing him out wide, he really shone. His lean body type and extremely high agility and balance, means he feels extremely responsive on the ball and makes him feel faster than his pace shows. Has a 4 star weak foot, so shooting was good, nothing special but good, the same can be said about his passing. His physicals means he is weak but for whatever reason even though he only has 85 stamina, he lasted a full 90 mins on the wings and wasn't impacted a lot. A very fun BuLi option and I'd even go as far to say he feels similar to his brother, Eden's base card, which is also a really good winger.

    Overall Rating - 8/10

    Value For Coins - 8/10

    Gaya

    I actually had a bit of fun with this card, was fast enough with good shooting and felt nice enough on the ball. Passing was a bit lacklustre and his physicals also were. His weak foot hindered him a lot and against good opposition, he is extremely easy to predict and defend against. He's nothing special and theres a lot of players like this card but for the price, I can't complain and if you're looking for a fun/different option then why not pick him up.

    Overall Rating - 6/10

    Value for Coins - 7/10

    Torreira

    The first thing you're wondering is, if he's better than Mendy, and the answer is No. But, this card is very good in his own right, feels excellent and responsive on the ball as expected from a Torreira card, and this helps and makes him feel a lot faster. His stamina and aggression is so high, that he charges up and down his side of the pitch with ease. He is a very good option especially if you keep your defenders on stay back since he has M/H work rates, but the only reason I rate Mendy over him, is because I like to attack with my full backs and Mendy has the skills/weak foot, and also feels a lot stronger.

    Overall rating - 8/10

    Value For Coins - 7/10

    Ansaldi

    Easily the best Serie A RB and also as a midfielder option he is amazing, I'd also go as far to say as an Argentine he's the best option over any version of Zanetti. Very fast and physicals feel a lot better than the stats suggest due to his size. Defending is amazing as expected. On the ball though, he feels a lot more responsive and better than his stats suggest and has 4 star skills too, which is handy, Passing wise he once again feels better than his stats suggest, and has the 5 star weak foot, once again very useful. These traits make him an extremely viable CDM/CM option but as of right now my favourite and best RB in the game, I really feel for the people that missed out on him. Him and Martinez in a 451 will be in my team for a very long time, I anticipate.

    Overall Rating 10/10

    Value For Coins - 9/10

    Wan-Bissaka

    I'm not even going to waste my time writing a review, like you shouldn't waste anything on this card. His RB is a better option and feels better even on 7 chem. As an English CB, Gomez is better.

    Overall Rating - 5/10

    Value For Coins - 1/10

    Nani

    This one surprised me. Imagine Neymar and Promes had a child, this is him. Low sprint speed but high acceleration and agility, makes him feel fast enough, especially down the wings (where I'd recommend using him). One of those cards where both the dribbling and shooting, feels a lot better than the stats suggest. And obviously he does have the 5 star/5 star combo, which is as good as you can get. Lean body type, Low stamina and strength, means he gets bullied but high aggression and his height helps him a bit. For under 40k a really fun card if you can fit him, or even as a super sub.

    Overall Rating - 8/10

    Value For Coins - 8/10

    Bailey

    Was a good and fun card, don't get me wrong, but he's so generic as in there's a million different cards like this and I'm sure in your club you have someone or better. If you are a Bailey fan or Leverkusen Fan, then maybe complete him, otherwise he's nothing special.

    Overall rating - 6/10

    Value For Coins - 6/10

    Sane

    A literal tank at CDM, as in he has the physicals and stature of one being 6'5" and 92 strength. But, his dribbling means he's a bit clunky, although saying that, he has 93 reactions and 88 composure, paired with very good defensive stats. His passing and stamina isn't great, but as a solely staying back CDM, he's not a bad shout for his price. However, hard to link and BuLi has better options in Kimmich and Zakaria if needed.

    Overall Rating - 7/10

    Value For Coins - 7/10

    Rodriguez

    You can almost copy and paste the Sane review for Rodriguez, except he's a lot smaller, so feels a bit more mobile. Saying that, physicals are really nice, as are his passing stats, and for you Serie A boys, is actually a really good CDM option. Not a bad pickup for near discard price, but not exactly a game changer.

    Overall Rating - 7/10

    Value For Coins - 9/10

    Golovin

    Is actually a really nice card, shame he plays in a league where there is a billion RB options, and he doesn't stand out against any of these, however he does hold his own. H/H work rates and nice physcials, paired with good dribbling means he feels nice up and down that right side. Shooting is irrelevant and passing feels worse than suggested, he does have 4 star skills and weak foot though, but as an attacking option I preferred RTTF Atal. Although he's not far off discard price, and is a good defensive option, hard to link though.

    Overall Rating - 7/10

    Value For Coins - 8/10

    Final Notes

    I understand I have given every card similar ratings, however I individually rated each card rather than comparing them with each other, and to be quite honest, this has been a decent promo from EA in terms of the cards being good.

    It’s really fun to go against someone who makes the game exciting.

    Just had a match against a RTG team, this guy was amazing and clearly had some sort of football IQ.

    We were all over the pitch.

    Had a pretty back and forth game until the last minute where I kind of switched off a little bit. 5-3. But it didn't leave a bitter taste. Hats off to you man if you are out there, gg.

    Can't remember their name but it starts with an E. They had Mbappe up front.

    Silver Sensation Milestone for Jumbo Rare Player pack

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 10:04 AM PST

    Is there any fellow old school skillers that are disappointed with how the game is...

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 04:06 PM PST

    I've always been a skiller in fifa and always will be, but it can't just be me that's disappointed with how "skilling" has become.

    The actual good looking fancy 5* skill moves that take some learning to do are absolutely useless now, the ones that people would go "wow how'd you even do that"...

    Now it's literally all about the random step overs and skills that give your player a legitimate speed boost, like tell me how many times you've seen someone in real life do a step over and get a freaking speed boost lol. As for flip flaps too, EA claim that they were nerfed and the speed of them was slowed down but that's just a straight up lie...

    It's disappointing to see what the game is coming to, where there are meta skill moves that will work every time, el tornado-cross in 19, drag backs in 20 and now flip flap/step over speed boosts in 21... like why can't skill moves just be situational and all of them work when done at the right time.
