| The AFK SB glitch is basically manager career mode and is quite enjoyable Posted: 12 Aug 2021 03:17 PM PDT You let your team play and make substitutions in the second half to make tactical decisions or complete objectives. You can do this by watching/listening to something else or watch your team play. It's far better than grinding it our yourself. [link] [comments] |
| Dynamic Duo - Gelson Martins(95) & Cesc Fabregas(93) Posted: 12 Aug 2021 10:15 AM PDT |
| It's August but it feels like Christmas eve with all these fodder packs before the last promo day Posted: 12 Aug 2021 05:43 PM PDT After getting all the fodder packs from swaps + fut champ and rivals pack + recycling duplicates into 87*10 packs and PIM Cruyff, I can't help but feel super excited for tomorrow. Wishing you all one last day of luck for FIFA 21, may EA lords bless you with countless SS Neymar, Vinicus and Firmino! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:54 AM PDT I know this might sound dumb. But I did the Squad Battles glitch, where the AI would play for you. And instead of doing something else, I found myself cheering my team and celebrating goals. [link] [comments] |
| Why does fifa love an ex arsenal player as their Co-commentator? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:33 AM PDT Alan Smith (1987-1995) Lee Dixon (1988-2002) Stewart Robson (1981-1987) Alex Scott (2002-2004) then (2005-2009) then (2012-2018) WHY? [link] [comments] |
| Career Mode should remember if you passed the training scenarios from save to save… Posted: 12 Aug 2021 07:51 AM PDT Does anybody else hate being all excited to start a new career with a new team then remember you have to do all the training scenarios again? There should be option that once you've got a grade on it, the game remembers it for other saves. [link] [comments] |
| Gelson Martins IG stats and requirements Posted: 12 Aug 2021 10:09 AM PDT |
| Biggest upgrades/downgrades in fifa 22? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 03:17 PM PDT Who should we be expecting to have the biggest upgrades and downgrades next year? I think Hojberg should be an 83 next year personally. [link] [comments] |
| I wish I did the loan of Cruyff Posted: 12 Aug 2021 05:56 PM PDT Not because I don't like the card, I just didn't know I'd be spending 1.5m to hear CRYYFE! every five seconds. [link] [comments] |
| TEAM USA WEEKEND LEAGUE RECAP RETURNS TO CLAIM GOLD Posted: 12 Aug 2021 06:46 AM PDT Hello again, fellow patriots and admirers of America. Been quite a while - I thought I was retired after getting married this summer. Married life is wonderful, thanks for asking. But after the lads in red, white, and blue chaos stripes (those who have seen the new unis will understand) defeated LL Tri in not just one, but TWO major cup finals this summer, I decided to come back for one last hurrah. But we'd already accomplished the mission of hitting Elite 3 with Team USA. It was time to find a new way to honor the soccer nation that is #10 in the world, but #1 in our hearts. Especially since EA can't even bother to acknowledge that CONCACAF did host a regional tournament that should've at least gotten us a silver stars Acosta or a Miles Robinson hero card. But since our C-team was capable of beating Mexico's A-team in a cup final, we had to bump up the difficulty to get respect. Turns out the C in C-team stood for "Copo Oro Campeones." For Mexico, the A in A-team stands for "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ENJOY YOUR SECOND L." So to honor Uncle Sam's band of misfits, the new mission - achieving a GOLD RANK using the GOLD CUP CHAMPION ROSTER. You might clutch your pearls about the power curve, but if these lads can take down Mexico's finest, they can handle 95+ rated squads on FUT. The only power they know is the power of FREEDOM. UNCLE SAM'S SQUAD I used the 23-man roster selected by soccer genius Gregg Berhalter with one exception. Now Gregg was criticized for a lack of wingers and pace on this roster, which I'm sure will go totally fine in the great sweatfest of weekend league. The one problem I had to solve with squad selection - Matthew "The next great" Hoppe is not in FUT. So we brought in Julian "LAZARUS" Green to replace Hoppe's chaos creation. Here's the squad. There's a lack of pace across the squad, only 1 skiller, and our best passer was a CB. We played with a 4-4-2 all weekend, but with some unique instructions that makes the whole greater than the individual parts. Wingers on come back get into box, one CDM on stay back, one on stay forward, one striker stay central get in behind, the other on false 9 drift wide. Right and left back on stay back overlap. Defense balanced 4/3, offense balanced 4/6/1/1. The plan was to play a Berhalterian possession build up (as we lack the pace to counter). We went with Roldan at left back over Vines and Bello due to his better passing, allowing us to switch the play under pressure. Green drifting wide free up space for Lletget, our only player with 4* skills, to get into the box. If we got Lletget into isolation, it was a cancelled croqueta fiesta. If we couldn't, patient passing and looking for cutbacks was the move. Defensively, we used our wings and strikers to quick press, but then played very patient with our CDMs once they got past midfield. THE RESULTS My overall team rating was 72. Lowest team rating I faced was 90. It was like if the Boston Tea Party and Miracle on Ice had a love child named Rocky. We made it through 13 games before husbandly responsibilities took over. Since Gold 3 is a -2 ELO, we were hoping to keep the ELO around 0. Instead, we went 8-5 over Friday and Saturday, with 34 goals conceded and 34 goals scored. The opening game was a 3-3 penalties win over an LL Tri Badge, with Turner making 3 saves in the shootout. Games tended to go one of two ways. If my opponent knew how to press, I was screwed (max composure on any player is 80, next best 72). One game was 0-6 to the bad guy. If they didn't, I could use sound positioning and switching to grind out wins. PLAYER PERFORMANCES ST Gyasi "LUNCH PAIL" Zardes. 6G/12A/4MOTM. I have no idea how a dude with 59 short passing had 12 assists. But that's Zardes - he works hard, he finds space, he scores with the face, and he passes with grace. Like a drunk, baby Gazelle with highlights. ST Julian "LAZARUS" Green. 10G/2A/1MOTM. After being banished for many moons from the national team picture, this lad made the most of his opportunity. His coming into the midfield was huge to advance the play, and his positioning was excellent in scoring some easy goals. CM Sebastian "THE BEST A MAN CAN" Lletget. 11G/4A/3MOTM. Club legend as the only shared starter between this squad, the elite 3 squad, and the nations league winning squad. Leading scorer and huge at getting the ball out of pressure. CDM Kellyn "COLORADO KANTE" Acosta. 1G/2A/2MOTM. Part of the reason I've been begging for a special card for this guy is his 5* weak foot. Not only did he chase down opponent attacks like Ray Lewis, but he could dribble his way out of pressure and pass off either foot, starting the attack. He even pitched in a goal to equalize in a close contest. GK Matt "YASHINAMERICA" Turner. 1CS/1MOTM. Goalies are weird in this game. Because he's a silver player, he had a howler a game on average. But he also made several clutch saves on a Summer Stars Ronaldo that I ended up winning. Plus 3 penalty saves in a shootout win over LL Tri. REFLECTIONS AND WHERE TO IMPROVE Your brain>power curve. One of the most frustrating discussions to see on this subreddit is "is my 94 rated player behind the power curve?" I'm not denying that a power curve exists. But the players you have make up at most 10% of your results. Playing smart, fundamental FIFA with sound, patient defense will take your game further than incremental improvements in your team. There are combinations to play and positions to shoot from that work just as well with Zardes and Green than with Pele and R9. Your ability to produce those is the biggest determinant of your results. Player lock fun times. This is a great example of a tool that works regardless of player. Get Shaq "Not that Shaq" Moore on the wing in a 2v1, switch to Zardes, pass and shoot. It's also a skill that's going to be translatable to next FIFA, so I'll be working on it more. Don't give away possession in your own half. If I gave the ball away on my side of the pitch, the low defensive awareness of my players meant that my opponent had a shot on goal almost every single time. I either need to get better at R1 dribbling or just hoof it up to Zardes if I'm threatened. Play with players you love. I enjoy this game 1000% more when I play with the US versus any of my stacked league cards. I'm going to try an all-Italian WL at some point (as that is my heritage and I'm in the middle of applying for dual citizenship). But there's no better feeling than the patriotic bliss of bringing down a team of meta gods with a ragtag group of Americans. That's all for this weekend. I may get to this challenge again prior to FIFA 22. I was pretty stoked about the WL changes - if it really is 20 games, that may be doable for me a few times next year. [link] [comments] |
| Who are the top 5 finishers in the game? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 04:13 AM PDT Looking to purchase an absolute insane finisher in front of goal for my last weekend league. Who are the top 5? [link] [comments] |

| What is the most efficient way to use fodder in an icon sbc? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 07:30 PM PDT I haven't really done any SBC's since TOTS, but I've been grinding a lot, so I have LOADS of fodder. Think upwards of 100 cards over 90 rated. I really want Pele, and I'm planning on doing the sbc. I have 4 million coins so it's not like I won't be able to finish it, but it is a massive sbc, so I'd like to know how to best use my cards. Should I try to follow futbin solutions and just use my cards to match rating because the chem requirements are low? Should I dump 96's into 84 squads and populate the rest with 80's and 81's? I guess just any general tips on how to most efficiently complete a big sbc are welcome. [link] [comments] |
| Best defender at this stage of the game? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 04:25 PM PDT Who is the best defender you've used during this FIFA cycle? CB or FB [link] [comments] |
| MANDATORY Manual Jockey is a good thing by the way! Posted: 12 Aug 2021 12:17 PM PDT I've been playing with manual jockey for most of 21 and at first it was extremely difficult to get used to defending that way (I conceded bags of goals it was actually ridiculous) Once it was second nature to me I found that there was a lot less situations where it felt like the game made me do something that lead to a goal and these days I actually feel confident defending again (been a few years since I could say that) I'm actually a bit gutted they made it mandatory in FIFA 22 as now everyone will be using it and I've no longer got that little advantage. Probably for the best though, hopefully they don't change it back. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2021 10:17 AM PDT I have fifa 21 on pc and since pc is last gen for some reason i will not upgrade in any way. ill just keep on playing 21 fut. Will there be any players? [link] [comments] |
| PIM Zidane or 95+ PIM + fodder? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 11:38 AM PDT As a big RM and Zidane fan I really wanted to have him in my end game squad but after seeing that I have to wait 3 weeks + I have to actually get them so I'd have him by the time of fifa 22. 95+ PIM pack also seems like a very good pack and I could get fodder packs for tomorrow because there will be a lot of good cards in packs + maybe I could get Ronaldinho done. What would you guys do? [link] [comments] |
| I keep getting disconnected/cannot connect, and it's slowly driving me insane Posted: 12 Aug 2021 08:48 PM PDT I've been having this issue for the past 2 months. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. It's currently the worst it's ever been. When I try to log on, I cannot connect. It's only an issue with EA games (FIFA and Madden, for example). Eventually, after I close game/renew licenses/restart console/recycle router, I'm able to log in. However, at some point not too long later (30-60 minutes), usually in the middle of a game I'm winning, I get disconnected. Then I have to restart and when I do, I get the unable to connect message and have to restart that whole process again. I can usually get maybe 2 full games in before it disconnects me on the next game. How do I fix this? It's insanely annoying. I haven't had any other issues with internet. [link] [comments] |
| Player base for fifa 22 on old gen consoles? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 05:31 PM PDT Old gen consoles aren't really going to get all the new razzle dazzle added to the game but I'm still considering buying the game as ps5 purchase might take another year for me, how many players would be playing the game on the old gen?

| What’s the best way to grind the Ronaldinho SBC? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 05:05 PM PDT I have about 1.6 million in coins, and I've already completed all three 89 rated squads, the 88 with two TOTS and the bronze and silver teams. I could complete the rest of the SBC by just buying each team outright, but I'm saving the 84+ x20 for tomorrow. If I want to save as many coins as possible, what's the best method to grind this SBC?

| When does Prime Gaming pack become available to claim? Posted: 12 Aug 2021 05:04 PM PDT It is August 13th, and Prime Gaming pack 9 comes out today. However, when I go onto the Prime Gaming site, I can't claim the pack and it is greyed out. Is there a specific time the pack becomes available, like how you claim Rivals rewards after a certain time? [link] [comments] |
