    Just a friendly reminder

    That spending money on FIFA points is a terrible idea. I am not telling you what to do with your money, but here's the deal.

    I saved up 2 Untradeable Ultimate packs and 4 rare players packs, and my best pull was fabinho.

    That's 9,000 fifa points worth of packs

    That's around $100 worth of fifa points

    I would have spent $100 for Fabinho

    Do what you want with your money, but it's just not worth it.

    Since everyone’s opponent is messaging toxic, here is my conversation with my opponent in the WL

    That Neres card has to be the buggiest thing I've ever seen

    Posted: 02 May 2021 09:53 AM PDT

    My players refuse to tackle him he can literally walk through my box untouched. Every time I face him I know it's a loss.

    Premier League TOTS is going to give out some very pricey rewards for WL players. This shows the expected value of rewards for this weekend. It assumes you select the best (re: most expensive) player available to you in your red picks.

    I honestly can’t compute how a video game can make me so angry.

    Posted: 02 May 2021 03:02 PM PDT

    I've played games all my life. Normally FPS games like CS:GO or COD but also in recent years a stack of other games such as BRs or racing games, but nothing even remotely compares to FIFA.

    There's just something about the game that no matter the mode or the game something will happen that just enrages me to the point I feel more stressed and anxious that any other time in my life. I'll put myself in such moods and start being curt to friends and family without even realising it. It's becoming more frequent that I think about launching my controller only to stop and think about my furniture.

    I probably don't play anywhere near as much as some people on here but Jesus this weekend league will be my last and I don't think I'll be playing the game passed objectives next year. I know everyone will just say it's only a game but can anyone relate?

    Last game before I upgraded him for Tagliafico, made me thing twice

    You should definitely not be allowed to pause the game while I'm trying to aim a direct free kick

    Posted: 02 May 2021 06:20 AM PDT

    In my last champs game it was around the 80th minute at 2-2 and from just outside the box he fouls me (where he'd taken out my guy clean through with no attempt to get the ball), ive got PIM Ballack who has insane free kick stats so I'm feeling good about my chances. He moves his keeper slightly, no big deal it happens and I should still be able to put this away if I aim this right.

    I start to aim it and have it just about where I want it when suddenly he pauses and plays out the full 30 seconds, okay I'll give you the benefit of the doubt maybe you were making some late changes. So it goes back and I start to aim again, get it about right when bam another pause, again plays out the full 30 seconds. Now I'm thinking he's just being toxic, then it does occur to me that it might mean the timer on my free kick will run out as I have to keep re-aiming it. Full pause goes by and I aim it again and almost as if he's timing it (about 5-10 seconds), I have it aimed right again and he uses his third pause, for the full time again. Now I'm back and finally can try and aim this, but no, after about 3 or 4 seconds the game has decided I've had enough time and just takes it for me.

    How is this allowed? you can't pause while your opponent is aiming a pen so why the hell are you allowed to pause when they're aiming a direct free kick, I'm not saying I would have definitely scored but I've gone from having a good chance to no chance whatsoever. The only redeeming thing here is the free kick hit the wall when the game took it for me, went for a corner while I then scored from, with Ballack too just to make that a little sweeter.

    Working on your Mental strenght to improve your gameplay and quality of life

    Posted: 02 May 2021 08:42 AM PDT

    Seen a lot of people posting recently asking how can they improve in champs.

    First of all dont listen to people giving you negitive comments like your gold 2 or 3 etc no matter what etc, everyone can improve and get better at the game. Those negitive people do not like to see other people do well and get their fun from putting others like you who want to work on their game down.

    The biggest non ingame thing you can do is work on your mental strenght and mentality. Thats what can get you from Gold 2 to gold 1. It is also the main difference between elite players and gold 1 players.

    If you rage at the game or let a toxic player get to you ingame you start to make rushed and poor decisions ingame leading to you playing worse and them getting more oppertunitys to score. Even though the game can be so bad with bounce back and passing go to wrong players you need to always remain calm and stick to your play style and tatic thats getting you the wins normally, only changing it as you normally would to counter a differnt playstyle.

    This will take a lot of work in real life and things like eating well, drinking lots of water and not those toxic enery drinks people use. Going for a nice walk each day to stay active does wounders to and gets the blood flowing. Remember if your knocking back those drinks full of crap all your doing is getting a cafeine or suger high which is swiftly followed by the crash and thats not healthy for your body or your mind and it will effect how you play and you will have less strenght to control your rages.

    You can try others thing that you might think will help keep you relax and zen. You wont see the vast majority of Pro Gamers raging when something bad happens or throwing joypads they just get on with the game knowing that things like that will happen and they just have to overcome it.

    Back when I was stuck in Gold 1 years ago I started working on the mental side of myself and I quickly started hitting E3. This week I am currently 14-3 and even though 1 of those losses was a bad one with so many things going against me I just took it on the chin and did not rage. I took a 10 min break to make a cup of green tea and went on a 5 game win streak after that.

    Its very under esteimited the mental side of the game. And when you consider that most of the player base will be from 14 to mid to late 20's it is normally they might not yet have worked on their mental strenght so thats why a lot of them rage quit and play toxic to get you to etc. I am 36 very soon and still able to compete in champs and make Elite 3 without playing off peak times for better connection etc. I am still in bed before midnight each night etc and am force to play a lot of my games during peak.

    Put the work in now, it might take some time, but you will benift not just with improved gaming but an improved quality of life

    To whom ever I just played against in weekend league.

    Posted: 02 May 2021 12:49 PM PDT

    Ever since I started playing weekend league I always give away the extra games that I have that are not needed to me. Not once did someone give one back but I kept on giving. Today I was 13-13 and I almost gave up hope to getting gold 2 but I kept the faith. Won 3 games in a row got to 16-13 and on the final game the guy scores an own goal and quits. Karma I fucking love you! To whoever that was on pc I love you man. Thank you for a much needed bit of happiness to my weekend. And to the rest of you lot be good people you never know when you might need someone to be good to you. And bam when you least expect it. These games might be meaningless to you but can make someone's week a little bit better.

    Rooney has to be one of the best value SBC’s this year. Especially when looking at when he was released.

    Posted: 02 May 2021 04:16 AM PDT

    Skill move cancels are the worst thing they’ve implemented this year

    Posted: 02 May 2021 04:30 PM PDT

    In horrible connection the game won't even recognize the skill move input let alone the cancel. What was the point of it? Direction nutmeg, skill move cancels, la croqueta, etc. have all been annoyingly accepted by the community and it's really unfortunate

    PL Premium Upgrade (Repeatable)

    Posted: 02 May 2021 10:01 AM PDT

    Anyone else think the kits being sold for FIFA Points are a sign that EA are preparing for a UK loot box ban?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 06:59 AM PDT

    Seems strange that they came up with this just as the UK is completing the final review of loot box evidence. Hopefully it's a good sign, wouldn't mind them switching P2W gambling with cosmetic items.

    What’s up with the trend of watching half time cut scenes and waiting the entire 30 seconds?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 11:03 AM PDT

    I just got back to WL for TOTS and I've noticed that most of my opponents are making me watch the entire half time cut scene + the 30 second wait period. It's almost always when they are winning too. And when the half starts they are right back on the sticks ready to go. I get that people use that time to do things like drink some water, send a text, take a dab etc but the amount of times it's happening is making me question whether people are actually doing something during that time or are they doing this on purpose since it almost always happens when I'm losing.

    Edit: how the fuck do y'all go pee in 30-45 seconds????

    2-3-5 weekend league review (4-3-3(2))

    Posted: 02 May 2021 08:58 PM PDT

    This weekend I decided to try and run a heavily man city inspired custom tactics set up. I'm not the beat ever fifa player, I usually finish gold 3/2. This weekend I finished gold 2 but I had 7 games left to play Wich I usually don't. Like I said this setup was heavily inspired by man city but it's not a direct replica or anything.

    This formation relies a lot on being able to toggle runs with lb and rb on Xbox and l2 and r2 on PS4. I'm not much of a skiller so for me it was more important to be able to pass and left stick dribble.

    This formation is the type to use when u are better than or equal to you opponent in skill level but if ur opponent is way better it doesn't work as well. So I guess I'll get into what I played in game.

    I lined up in a 4-3-3(2) in game but it converts into a 2-3-5 when you have possession and I'll get into that in the player instructions.

    My lineup: Gk: gold ederson Rcb: future stars fofana Lcb: fut birthday choudbury Rb: toty TAA Lb: simkgraven Lcm: PIM deco Cdm: guendouzi Rcm: neves Lw: Europa league rashford St: moments giroud Rw: fut birthday lucas

    Custom tactics:

    Defense: Press after possession loss. Depth 7 Width 8

    Attacking: Possession Width 5 Players in box 8

    Player instructions and archetypes:

    Gk: comes for crosses and sweeper keeper. Goal keeper doesn't really matter but I I like to have someone who's decent with their feet for bulging out if the back.

    Cb: I didn't change anything here. In terms of ideal players I don't think u need go have full backs here because I did fine without them but make sure they are good at defending and also have decent pase and passing. Rubén Díaz or kounde would probably be the ideal kinds of players here.

    Cdm: cut passing lanes and stay back while attacking. This position is critical because it's the player that builds most of your possession but also has to shield the back two. Guendouzi was really good here but I think some other players that would work well would be Lucas Leiva or Marquinhos.

    Rb: get forward and inverted runs. This is where things get interesting. Your rb inverts and becomes your rcm when you have the ball but when you lose the ball he goes back and plays rb. This player is really important so make sure it's someone well rounded in every stat but also really fast because they are going to be defending in wide areas. Toty TAA is perfect but Joao cancelo or lahm work well too.

    Lb: get forward and overlap. This fullback is essentially going to be playing as your lw in game. This player isn't as important as your inverted full back but they should be good at dribbling and crossing. Ideal players would be davies or Jordi Alba.

    Rcm: get forward, stay at the edge of the box, free roam and cover center. this player is essentially going to be playing as a 10 occupying the right half space and playing off of the st. This player will score you a lot of goals and get you a lot of assist. Ideal players would be David Silva, Bernardí Silva or zielinski.

    Lcm: get into the box for cross, balanced attacking support, cover center and stick to position. This player is your true box to box. Ideal players would be Renato Sánchez or Arturo Vidal.

    Lw: cut inside, get into the box for cross, get in behind and come back on defense. This player is playing the same position as your rcm but slightly further up the field basically. Ideal players would be neymar or insigne.

    Rw: stay wide, get into the box for cross, get in behind and come back on defense. This player is providing the width in your right hand side since your rb is playing as a cm and your rcm is playing as a cam. Ideal players would be salah or Lozano

    St: stay central and target man. This player is playing kind of as a false 9 but further up the pitch. You want someone that can link up the play but also finish. Having someone strong is also really helpful. Ideal players would be Harry Kane, firmino or lewandowski.

    That's all of the custom tactics so I guess I'll kind of try to explain it. Essentially what you are trying to do is have as many options as you can in the box for crosses and cut backs. You will have a lot of possession with this formation but it shouldn't be playing around in the back it should be at the edge of your opponent box waiting fir the right oportunity. Your lcm and rb are really important played because they are the main ones circulating the ball but they will also score some long shots. You will concede a lot of goals because of the counter attack meta on this game but the main point is that you will score more and they won't have many chances to score since you will dominate the ball. Also your rb doesn't have to be the one inverting it can be your lb but if u switch the fullbacks around you also have to switch the rest of the team. Most important players to spend coins on would be your inverted full backs and the two attacking midfilders ie your cm and winger. Also don't be afraid to put in a cross that's one of the main ways you score or draw your opponents defenders out. Lmk what you guys think and any questions you have.

    Those still using SBC Rooney, where is he most effective for you?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 08:36 PM PDT

    Always used him as a super sub but thinking I'm missing out not starting him.

    For me the options are to replace POTM2 Bruno at CM/CDM or mid Dalglish at ST. Or stay as a super sub.

    Premier League Challenge (Untradeable)

    Posted: 02 May 2021 10:00 AM PDT

    Anyone in the US East Coast facing heavy lag?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 03:10 PM PDT

    I know this is a sweaty WL because of the PL TOTS rewards but it's beyond me as to why I am mostly facing people from Turkey or Mexico!

    Around 20 ms and I feel like my players are in Jurassic era or something while my opponent's players are gliding past my defenders. So much so that I am now playing only full backs (except Kehrer) and boy I can't move!

    Anyone else having this problem around this region?
