Re: FUT '17 - In-game Stories

---------------------------------------------------------
Played a few games the past few days. Made a team with SBC De
Jong up front and also put in SIF Milner and IF Schmeichel, both
who I picked up very cheapily the first hour the TOTY was in
packs on Monday. Also bought IF Sneijder at the same time to go
behind De Jong.
I think in the five games I played in the cup with the team, De
Jong had one shot (which he scored). He just never stayed
upfront. Was never in the box at all. Half the time Jordy Clasie
would be in the box with De Jong nowhere to be seen! Used him in
the same formation and with the same instructions as SBC Gignac
and IF Balotelli, who combined have got me just short of 150
goal and probably 80 assists. De Jong was not good!
Also got another promotion in Divisions. The guy I played had
almost the highest possible rated Premier League team, but
literally had 10 men camped in his box the whole game. If he got
the ball, he just blindly hammered a through ball towards
Aguero. Eventually broke through with El Shawaary and five
minutes later on 75, SBC Giovinco added a second. Still 10 men
camped. Why?!! I had the ball with my centre back and had one
oppo player in my half even at 2-0. Wasn't difficult to stay in
front.... I'll leave it at that!!!!

I'll try him some more next week hopefully if I can
automatically qualify for the weekend league, which may be
difficult as I have stuff on this weekend. He seemed to be out
of position more than anyone I've used though.

so following on from my previous post about the quality of teams
ive been facing this theme continued last night with a couple
more games in div 2. The standard of teams ive been facing is
very high, certainly a class above mine.
First game was a good example, guy had Ibra and Messi up front.
His midfield was Roy Keane, Kante and cant mind if another
legend or IF to complete the trio. Even with a decent team its
bloody hard to compete against these teams. Did wonder if this
is a glimpse of what to expect in the WL. His forward line
was completed by Martial of course ::)
I lost 5-2 but felt like a moral victory in some ways. Some of
his finishes were just too good. Yet the stats said I had more
shots, more on target and edged the possession too. Basically
to me, I was better, his team was the difference. I suppose
that's what you want, but even with a good team with some IFs,
i'm not sure about facing these super teams so frequently.
Wonder if I missed the gravy train by not doing WL up till now.
Also wonder if the WL has increased the gulf between the haves
and have nots akin to the gulf between top clubs in premiership
and the rest.
The next game I played was similar, not quite as extreme he had
SBC Buffon in goals, plus some others I think IF or SBC Dybala.
That one worked out well cos despite going 1-0 down despite
dominating I managed to pull 2 late goals back to win it.

Eric, you can expect to see the generic BPL sweat with Musa,
Vardy etc, but also some very good teams with the top talent.
All can be beaten, also all can tank you. Its really a battle
of nerve and who makes the least mistakes as they usually end up
in a goal.
I have really started focusing in game on how the opponent is
trying to play and using quick tactics to counter along with the
mentality changes in going from ultra defensive when the
'momentum' is against you, to ultra attack to really press the
advantage if you're on top. yeah some games can be walkover, but
some are a real battle against your opponent and whatever the
game mechanics throw at you.
One Final tip, never assume at 2-0 up the game is over
especially when the commentator says that its an uncomfortable
lead. Kiss of death ;D

Last weekend I played a real decent opponent with a super team
first match, with red Ibra at striker. After that it was the
standard generic Premier League teams mostly. Nearly always the
same team. A defence of Shaw, Bailly, Smalling, Walker with
Butland behind. Kante will be in the midfield with Martial,
Musa, Vardy, Mane or some combination of. You'll play that A
LOT! When I went on a 10 match out of 11 win streak, the better
players started to appear. Lots of red, high rated players, one
with 8 in one team. More likely than not elite monthly players.
Still don't think I faced a single Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar last
weekend but the Smalling abd Kante's probably 3 or 4 games out
if at the very least!

I see it from 2 perspectives - look, the kid is good - main
thing is composure. First few WL's, he wasn't, and easily
frustrated by teams going up a goal then going either PTB or
very low defensive settings. Makes it an absolute pain to watch
too. Now, I've seen him go down 20% of the times, he easily
comes back and wins. This past weekend again - a 15-win streak
and another 16-win streak. Stupidly he continued playing when he
should have taken a break & lost the last 3 of 4 games - could
have been another 38-2 weekend.
So, for me the "continue to play" attitude - either out of
frustration to get a win or "just wanna finish" - that's a
difficult one. In the back of your mind you have this
"20-games-a-day for 2 days" mentality that sets. This is for you
guys & what I see on the dark side - easier this side as it's
Friday 8PM start which means the kid can get 5, sometimes 8
games out the way.
How you battle that fatigue, is an important one.
Then, with me playing the 2nd account, I have an incredibly low
expectation as the team has some quality, but it certainly lacks
big name players. Not wanting to spend too much on fitness
cards, also makes it a case of using 2 teams which is a massive
liability. You just cannot get the consistency that others have
that are using 1 team. And you're right Eric (also Simmo you
commented a few days back) - you find yourself losing to people
that are not good. Simple. But, either the noobish OP players,
or the monstrously expensive teams give them that advantage. At
times I'm wishing I can bring over a few of the big guns from
the main account - would easily guarantee a 2/3 wins (in the
opening 10).
Ah ... this reminds me of another aspect that you need to
consider. I see a lot of people saying that they are 9-1 and
then find themselves at 10-10. How could that be??? Remember
this is bound to happen - you pretty much going to play better
people, the better your record is. Not better skill-wise, but
better at winning! Frustrates me that you get to play these
players that abuse the game in some way, scoring headers with
Sterling & Giovinco ... ::) :D

Well ... no "FUT Champs" ... so headed off to Seasons in a long
time. Post patch - 5 bars for latency ... first game = max 2 red
bars ::). Ok, try again ... similar story.
After 4/5 connection attempts, finally got a game to play. This
was in D2 - think the kid had played previously - record was
4-0-3. WLW ... the loss was a disconnect from EA. Now this is
getting quite tedious.
Played a few more after promotion ... Finished on 2-0-2, but
there was a disconnect for one of my opponents - score was 0-0
so that was just a waste of time. I myself had ANOTHER
disconnect ... Wow.
Seems like it's the general theme these days - how many games
can you play before you get disconnected?!?! ::).

okay long post ahead..... :o
After months I made my return into the FUT arena. I had around
700K in coins (did trade/SBC challenges and was a coupe of time
lucky with a pull). So I cleaned the club, transferred around
250K to the youngest who plays every day and focused on two
teams, Eredivisie (of course) and Serie A. Started to play last
week with the teams (without any TOTS) and boy that was hard! I
am in division 8 .... ::), but I had trouble defending against
zig zag players, and even 'normal' playing gamers. I draw, lost,
draw, lost, etc. 60% my own fault, I played like a noob. But
being out there for a long time also opens your eyes on the
problems the engine has. Very unfair game. And players that
wander around in the field. I had my RW playing centre for no
reason...
Although the result where unsatisfying, I started to play better
and better, 92% passing accuracy is not bad of course but I am
having troubles creating chances in the 4312 formation. A
formation I played so long. Don't understand what I am doing
wrong. The other formation I am using is 4231 (2) and I create
more chances with this formation despite the fact that my
striker sometimes feels isolated.
On Friday I invested my coins in eredivisie TOTS and a 84 rated
El Shaarawy (don't know the name of that card). I played two
more games, lost both but was playing much better, Especially
defending went better. But.....due to all my losses I ended up
with regulation to division 9....I feel NOOB now :-\ but can
care less ;D. Last game I got a red card, my sliding was on the
ball from the side. No idea what happened there. Lost 4-2 (2
balls bounced back from my keeper right in the feet of his
striker...) But at least TOTS Elia and MOTM Traore scored on
their debut :D
Currently on business trip, but back in the saddle on Friday.
Starting in division 9 and hoping on some better results. :P
FUT champions is a long way, may be next year. But I will keep
you updated on my struggle :D

Can't imagine what it must be like getting back into it, mate.
Such a variety of different opponents - a number with stacked
teams - trying to exploit whatever flaw/weakness they can.
Good luck with that journey! ;D
