    Bicycle kick trophy glitched for anyone else on PSN? Did you get it?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:24 PM PDT

    Playing on PS5, I finally got a bicycle kick after months of playing. I wasn't trying for months but happen to get one today. The objective was achieved in milestones under the finishing mastery folder.

    I did not get the trophy however. Have you experienced this trophy glitch? Did you achieve the trophy and objective at the same time?

    Are any people here wanting to play FIFA but aren't able to afford ist?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 04:40 AM PDT

    I have a 2nd PC Origin Account with only FIFA 21 in it that I'm willling to give away for FREE if someone wants to play FIFA but isn't able to buy ist.

    I created that account because i were bored of my main FUT account and wanted some fun again. Now i have no time at all, because i became a father. There are not many playeres in the Club (Mid Zola, Birthday Günther an some Fodder, most untradable)

    Edit 1: I will let this open for 3 more hours, then draw the "winner".

    Edit 2: This means 18h CET.

    Edit 3: Congrats to zenitfc2007 and thx for the awards and keep in mind that this community isn't always toxic.

    Is ea ruining web app on purpose?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 12:47 PM PDT

    I swear everyday it's going worse and worse. First you couldn't clear individual players from your transfer list, then you couldn't see all your cards while doing an sbc and now you can't even sort gold players on the market.

    How come they're producing problems that didn't exist before is beyond me.

    Elite 1 Weekend League Recap

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 02:01 PM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    This past weekend I hit my second ever Elite 1 with my RTG, so I was pretty excited and wanted to do another recap. Here's a link to my first one for anyone interested.

    Overall not much changed from my first E1 in terms of tactics or instructions, but the team looks drastically different after some good investing (still an RTG though!).

    WL Stats

    Team

    Pre-game

    In-game

    As you can see, the team was a huge help. For the majority of the year I had been player Neymar at ST, but after getting TOTY Mbappe, Neymar moved to the wing with Cantona and Mbappe up front, and Atal taking the other wing. I can't say enough great things about that front four, as everyone consistently produced excellent opportunities all weekend. Mbappe was the clear MVP for me though with 48 goals and 18 assists on the weekend. I finally succumbed to the diagonal through ball meta and he was the biggest beneficiary.

    The midfield was absolutely dominant as well. TOTY Davies remains one of my favorite players in the game. As a B2B CDM he's absolutely everywhere, playing a crucial final pass then sprinting back to break up a counter time and time again. Sanches provided the same to a lesser degree, but both are absolute studs.

    The backline is definitely the weakest part of my team, but they performed great this weekend, letting in just under a goal per game. Boateng is my top priority to replace and I'm hoping for a red Alaba to do the job for next weekend. Kehrer was actually great for me and didn't make any non-user mistakes all weekend. De Sciglio is great for a free storyline player but honestly didn't have to do much in his role. Zambo was great when he got forward and still manages to be one of the most versatile defensive options in the game.

    Formation, Tactics, and Instructions

    As you can see in the picture, I play 4-4-2 (2) in game. It's been my go-to for most of FIFA 21, and I'm extremely comfortable with it now. I generate the majority of chances with either the diagonal through balls to my STs in on goal or down the wing and cutting inside from there, picking the right pass into the box. When I have a slower build up, the generic passing around between CDMs and wings is the only real option, using give-and-go passes to generate movement until a gap opens up. Getting the ball to a ST then having some good skill moves in your arsenal at that point is key.

    Defensive Tactics

    7 depth

    5 width

    Press after possession loss

    Pretty basic stuff, but the 7 depth and press after possession loss is key. I love to press up high, and having press after possession loss can help get some easy goals for players that aren't ready for it. If a player is good at countering though I will go change that to balanced during a pause. Press after possession loss definitely can get some players out of position, especially the fullbacks, so you need to be able to recover manually with you CBs often if you play with that. The 7 depth also is key because it makes the AI do automatic offside traps when defending in your box. So your defensive line is usually at the top of the box, preventing players from passing to STs in the middle of the box where they can just turn and shoot.

    Small defensive soapbox: For most players defense is absolutely the best way to improve. You will see time and time again people saying something to the effect of "just control you CDMs, sit back and let your AI do everything with the CBs so you don't make a mistake." And while there's an element of truth to that, the real truth is that all top players are extremely aggressive defenders, choking out every option before you can get there. They manually switch constantly and take away every pass while still pressuring the ball. It takes a lot of practice, but if you want to improve, learning to do that well is crucial. Sit-back can only get you so far, topping out around Gold 1 or 2. Beyond that, all players will be able to break that down most of the time. End rant.

    Offensive Tactics

    5/5 and long ball

    Nothing special here at all. I recently switched to long ball and have felt like that made a small difference, but ultimately you should be controlling the majority of your players' runs manually with L1 and R1. Honestly don't have much to say here as player instructions are much more important.

    Player Instructions

    Both STs - Default on everything

    LM/RM - Get into box for cross, cut inside, come back on defense, default everything else

    Both CDMs - Cover center, default everything else

    LB/RB - Stay back on defense

    Both CBs - Default on everything

    GK - Comes for crosses

    Player instructions have a far greater impact on attack than offensive tactics, so I'll spend a little more time here, but again it's more about the player with the sticks. I used to have get in behind on everyone, but after switching to long ball, I put them back on balanced and like this combination better. Having get into box for LM and RM are key for getting them into good positions when attacking from the opposite wing. Cutting inside with Neymar, I can often pass to a ST then another pass to Atal who's cutting in on goal, and visa versa. Having CDMs on balanced is great too with CDMs that can play box-to-box. Both Davies and Sanches are great in defense and attack, so them making great runs into attacking positions on the counter came in clutch very often. I used to have CDMs on cut passing lanes too, but I switched to balanced after watching a Hashtag Tom video and I honestly think that made a huge difference. They definitely won me the ball back a few times when I don't think they would have otherwise. And while I do have my fullbacks on stay back, I tend to dribble forward with them quite often and also trigger them for runs. So having great passing and dribbling is key for me there as they do get more involved in the attack, which results in them being in very aggressive positions for the press after possession loss tactic.

    Conclusion

    Thanks for reading if you made it this far! I don't have much else to add, but I'm a member of the over-30 FIFA club and wanted to share my excitement of finishing Elite 1 again on a great weekend. I also wanted to help anyone that is interested in how I was able to do so. If you have any questions or anything, don't hesitate to ask or message me as I'd love to chat. Good luck to everyone in rewards and I hope everyone I'm going to face next weekend packs a red Alaba.

    What amazing card did you pack at the end of FIFA and how many games did you play with them?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:20 PM PDT

    Tagliafico is an absolute animal!!

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 06:27 PM PDT

    I packed him yesterday in some random pack (tradable) and gave him a go today in div2 and friendlies-community mode. The guy is an absolute beast, catches up to the fastest of attackers, tackles like he means it and has a decent presence in opponent box to shoot loose balls.

    If you want to link Correa or Neres , he looks like a great card. Get him before he goes more expensive.

    SD Rudiger anti-appreciation post: he's the reason people use fullbacks.

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 09:30 AM PDT

    Title, I had already benched him for FBD Hermoso, he was fast and serviceable. Unfortunately i had to start him again because I sold a couple of players that spiked after the crash, you'd think an 88 rated defender would be at least serviceable, but nope.

    Terrible reaction times due to his accelerations, his tackles are as soft as a baby's touch, and if/when he does get the ball back he's outmuscled by neymar and the likes for easy turn overs.

    The weird part is, FB Boateng has pretty similar stats but he's serviceable, even very good and catches up people in short spaces.

    Come to think of it, I haven't once gotten G1 with him starting, waste of fodder.

    Best way to get high rated fodder (>89) for icon SBC’s?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 02:59 PM PDT

    I'm on the last squad for PIM Dalglish, which is an 89 rated squad. However, I'm struggling to get any players to put into the SBC. I don't mind buying 3-4 players above 90, but I would like for the majority of the squad to be from my club. What's the best way to get a hold of high rated players?

    Attackers tackling defenders

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 05:58 PM PDT

    So I'll tackle and win the ball but then the attacker tackles and wins the ball back, but it happens fast. Even before I'm able to take a touch. it's probably delay, but it's like when I tackle, the opponent presses tackle button at the same time and I'll lose the ball right after I've won it. how do you deal with attackers tackling you?

    Which TOTS cards did you try this weekend? Who did you like/dislike?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:26 AM PDT

    I personally tried out Kean (got him in a MM pack), Zapata, and Mukiele. Kean is a one trick pony, 3 star skills and weak foot hurt him a lot and he can't pass without a chem style, but if the ball is on his right foot in the box it's a goal. Zapata came into the team to replace Kean for my last 7 games of WL and he was very good, putting up 7 goals and 4 assists. His passing was much better than I had anticipated. I bought Mukiele for 400k and played him at CB because he's 6'2. He was very good but not worth the 400K price tag and I sold him the next day. If you have the coins he may be worth it, but he wasn't 400K better than my untradable FB Hermoso. I'm very interested to hear who other people tried out!

    Is TOTS Sarr worth it

    Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:57 PM PDT

    idk if I should get him but that 99 pace is tempting me or do I spend my coins on PL TOTS? A player review will be appreciated.
