    Reached the 1500 goal milestone with Petr Cech. These are a few of my favourites that I've scored since 1000.

    To the people who spend 5m skilling the air and then complain about getting countered. You are your own problem.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:19 PM PDT

    I'm in Div 1 with a SR of 2264, and recently I seem to be getting a fair few messages from people complaining that I'm playing drop back when in reality I play a 3-5-2 with 8 depth and press on heavy touch. But alas, what tends to happen is that my opponent gets into my half - passes - does six fake shots against the air - runs down the line - croqueta cancels - and then invariably loses the ball because it's fairly easy to read, or I just block the play.

    I don't really know why people who play like this feel they are reputable in some way. You're not a football purist for skilling the air, nor are you entitled to a win because you can chain 4 skill moves against the air. Perhaps if you passed the ball quicker, you would create more opportunities, I don't know. But I'm fairly tired of the few messages I get now and again. I get AI defending is broken, but not everyone plays 5ATB against you. A lot do, I know the game is mechanically fucked. But please drop the prestige for knowing how to skill empty space. That is all.

    TLDR: EA gave people who weren't impacted by the issues, free packs for no reason, as well as players, etc.

    Barca P&P with my favourite midfield and attacking trios

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 05:03 PM PDT

    Some more club and WL legends and a request from a friend!

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 01:39 PM PDT

    Free packs out of nowhere in the club?

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 08:29 AM PDT

    Anybody can login into the web-app and check if they have some packs out of nowhere?

    I was selling my consumables and saw that I have highlighted store.

    Went to check it and there is 50k pack, few 25k packs, one 100k packs and others. WTH :o


    EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/Muvh3Pf

    In total something around ~600k-700k worth of packs out of nowhere, without any message or any explanation. I have no idea what happened but I'm happy I got to restock my club. Hope EA doesn't ban me :D


    EDIT2: Another update

    https://i.imgur.com/NFCV7ap.png

    The message says:

    "Thank you for your patience while waiting to resolve the issue with missing content.

    We added missing content to your account. You can find it in the store".

    But I didn't report any missing content? Except for the one FSG token for watching the stream few months ago.

    Since everyone is sharing, my P&P Hamburg SV squad!

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 02:00 AM PDT

    FIFA lacks so many stats.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 12:21 PM PDT

    For example expected goals shouldn't be that hard to implement. Or clean sheets for keepers, and many more.

    PSA: This weekend will be the last WL to get the Icon swaps token

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 11:38 AM PDT

    The challenge expires in 10 days but a new season will start after that so you will have to get 18 wins this weekend if you need the token.

    19th & 26th March will take place Face-Off event. There will be viewership rewards.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:41 PM PDT

    We lack CBs with pace, especially in PL, what does EA do? Yeah, release an 86 rated CB with 69 acceleration in mid March...

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 08:34 AM PDT

    And we wonder, why every opponent in WL has either Klaiber, Walker, or Reece James playing as CB...

    What is the intention of EA? Is there actually a specific strategy behind this? Do they really want people to spend money for those very prime META CBs in order to have actually CBs playing in that position or are they not really aware of the current game mode/meta and do this unintentionally?

    Hit my first ever Elite 1 this weekend! Team, tactics, and info in post.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 08:53 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    As a member of the 30+ FIFA club, I don't have a ton of friends that play FIFA, so I wanted to share my excitement here. This weekend, I hit my first ever Elite 1 in FUT Champs! I still feel like I'm fairly far behind verified players, as Elite 3 was my previous best and probably still a more reasonable expectation going forward. But still, the stars aligned this weekend, and I'm going to celebrate it!

    Elite 1!

    WL Stats

    Team

    Pre-game

    This is the starting formation for my team, but don't be concerned! I don't play 5 ATB!

    95% of the time I play a 4-4-2 (2) with the following setup:

    • Left ST: NIF Neymar
    • Right ST: Prime Cantona
    • LM: NIF Salah
    • RM: NIF Mbappe
    • LCDM: TOTY Davies
    • RCDM: FFS Jones
    • LB: NIF Mendy
    • LCB: Flashback Boateng
    • RCB: NIF Varane
    • RB: NIF Walker
    • GK: NIF MATS

    Subs:

    • Robben in for Salah
    • De Sciglio in for Jones (great super sub at CDM! Highly recommend him as the lvl 30 player)
    • Pulisic in for Mbappe sometimes

    I know the team is pretty META, but it's a balance of the way I enjoy playing (I'm a 5/5 snob up front... Cantona will be Cruyff soon enough) and also trying to be smart/efficient with coins (Salah, Mendy, Varane, Jones, Boateng all first owner untradeable, all others are tradeable)

    MVPs: Neymar and TOTY Davies hands down. Cantona was my top goal scorer, but he still always feels like he could do better. Neymar on the other hand feels like he never puts a foot wrong or a good shot wide. Then there's TOTY Davies. The dude is an absolute mad-man. He's all over the pitch; epitome of box-to-box. Countless times he's in or near the opponent's box making a key pass, then also the first player back on defense to break up a counter. One of the few players that will be guaranteed to stay in my team until TOTS.

    Tactics

    As I mentioned above, I play 4-4-2 (2) most of the time, and these are my tactics unless chasing a game late:

    Defense

    • 5 width
    • 7 depth
    • Press after possession loss

    Offense

    • 5 width
    • 5 players in box
    • Balanced

    Nothing super fancy here, but the two things I will highlight: 7 depth and press after possession loss. The 7 depth is big for auto offside traps when defending in your box. Keeps possession players from having an open turn-and-shoot type of pass in the middle of the box. And press after possession loss is also great against MOST opponents. It's an easy way to get goals vs players that panic once they recover possession. That said, if the opponent is smart and I can tell they know how to play out of it well, I go to balanced defense.

    And finally, if I'm trailing late, I go to 4-1-2-1-2 (wide version) with attacking fullbacks, 10 depth, and constant pressure. Pretty basic stuff.

    Player Instructions

    • ST: Get in behind
    • LM/RM: Get in behind, get into box for cross, cut inside, come back on defense
    • CDM: Cover center, cut passing lanes
    • LB/RB: Stay back while attacking

    I love to play through balls down the wings and attack from the flanks first, then back out and go through the center if I need to. So get in behind wherever possible is my go to with pacey wide players. I don't have the glitched through ball to strikers mastered as a result, but this is more fun to me. I also tend to be a possession player. I know that's infuriating to some, but to me it's the most fun way to play. I love the feeling of trying to break down a defense like a puzzle. So for me that means holding the ball and trying to find the hidden pass that unlocks the whole thing for a tap-in. That means having CDMs on balanced (rather than stay back) is crucial. I need them involved in the attack for more passing options, and they're pacey enough to recover on counters most of the time.

    Conclusion

    If you read this much, I thank you. Again, I'm just an older FIFA player who was too excited about hitting a new milestone I thought I'd never reach. If you have any other questions or anything, I'd love to answer, so don't hesitate to ask or message me.

    We did it boys (vol 6995)

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 05:32 PM PDT

    I genuinely don't know how this is possible but after playing fut for a few years (but more seriously in the past year) I've risen from div 6 (in 20) to this

    Is everyone relegating these days? 😂😂😂

    Has my subconscious adopted the meta and I haven't realised it?

    Have I mastered the bridge?

    Naaah I'm still shit in all that barely hitting 19 wins in WL.

    Looking forward to be bitchslapped back where I belong in div 3 or 2.

    (a big thanks to everyone posting tactics and ideas that deviate a bit from the 5 atb, varane, mbappe, neymar, mendy extravaganza). The game can honestly be fun if both players try to play the game rather than play the broken mechanics (still shit coding though)

    Yours truly.

    I'm now sometimes getting this automatic "missed tackle" animation that freezes my defender when I hold L2 during a 1-2 pass.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 06:52 PM PDT

    This only started a couple days ago. Sometimes, when I pressure an opponent with L2 and they play a 1-2, my defender will do this little lunge and freeze to let the opponent get in behind. It's basically a free goal every time. Anybody else noticing this? I don't know what to do - I'm definitely not going to play a game that auto-tackles so I can't pressure a player. Can someone help? Thanks?

    Auto anything needs toning down

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 09:13 AM PDT

    The fact you don't need to press anything for the most OP part of the game to take effect is mind boggling and is still a thing 6 months into the game.

    Nothing wrong with players attempting to blocked but it needs to be triggered and timed the same way as a tackle, pass or any other part of the game works
